After waiting for a long time, no landing craft or hovercraft were launched from the warship. A frigate that large could not dock directly; they would have to launch small boats to land. Yet, it remained quietly moored in the middle of the lake, like a small, towering mountain with a strange metallic sheen.
The savages have found another place to live and are ready to retreat deep into the mountains. All that is needed is for Situ and Qingmu to give a command in their minds, and they can set off.
But then everyone hesitated. What was the origin of that warship? Why was there still no sign of anyone?
Petru's arm ached from holding the binoculars, so Boris took over, and then Ivan took over, monitoring the warship's movements without stopping, but they never saw it move an inch, nor did they see any sign of anyone moving on the deck.
The savages of the Huracan Tribe did not appear; they were probably hiding in the dense forests of some mountain, spying on the large, mysterious ship. They must have been even more astonished, for such a primitive tribe should have never seen such a large ship before. Of course, they might simply ignore the Swordfish frigate, just as the Indians of Watling Island could not see Columbus's Santa María!
People didn't know what to do.
"Should we go up and take a look?" Petru remembered they had a lifeboat they could row over.
"Who's going?" Anderson asked.
This is a difficult problem.
If an ordinary person goes, they probably won't be able to handle any situation that arises on board. It would be best to send someone with strong Mental Power and one or two people who are knowledgeable about warships and have strong combat capabilities.
The strongest Mental Power belongs to Qingmu and Situ, while Ivan, Boris, Petru, and Anderson are familiar with the navy and naval warfare, making them a good fit for two teams. However, given that Situ is currently under scrutiny, sending any of them would be a cause for concern.
Su Huilan said, "I'll go instead."
Qingmu shook his head and said, "No, it's too dangerous." He looked around, then finally reached out and touched the feathers of the Crow on his head. "I'll have to trouble you!"
The Crow cawed, "They can't even get enough to eat, yet they have to work! They have no rights as crows!"
"Who gave you such beautiful wings!" Su Huilan praised. "You're the only one here who can fly. You look so much like an angel, why don't you show off your skills?"
The Crow said, "Caw, woman, although I know you're just flattering me, I'm still very happy! I hope there's some food on that ship; I've heard the United States Navy's canned food tastes pretty good!"
After saying that, the Crow spread its wings, leaped over Qingmu's head, and flew away in a whoosh.
The trajectories of the two Sun in the sky are a bit strange.
Originally, they hung on either side of the sky, one representing the rising sun and the other the setting sun, each adorned with rosy clouds and colorful ribbons; the sight was already magnificent and breathtaking.
Logically, one of them should soon rise as a normal, blazing sun, while the other sets behind the mountains, only to rise again the next day from the other side. Based on this, it can be inferred that the two Sun in this place will alternate in the sky, and there will be no night.
But miraculously, they are currently traveling towards each other along the same trajectory towards the midpoint of the sky, like two men locked in a duel, charging at each other in a furious rage. It feels like it won't be long before they collide overhead. What kind of spectacle will unfold then?
The sky was filled with two Sun about to fight, and a huge ghost ship had suddenly appeared on the lake; the atmosphere was eerily unsettling.
Situ's melancholy hadn't faded; his brow furrowed as he gazed at the sky and said to Qingmu, " Ramla isn't acting normally!"
Qingmu asked curiously, "Isn't this always the case?"
Situ shook his head. "No, Ramla is a crawling Ant Nest. Its endpoints and pathways are affected by the star's gravity, but its reverse effect on the star is very small, making it impossible for it to cause a huge change in a stable binary system. Unless the land beneath our feet is on a massive planet, large enough to form a three-body motion with the two stars."
Qingmu knew about the Three-Body Problem, but not very well. He looked up at the sky to the east and west. The two Sun were getting closer, with the one in the west seemingly moving faster, but the sun in the east was clearly more imposing.
"Will m. hetushu. com. com collide?" he asked.
"Not for now," Situ said. "Their trajectories appear similar, but they're actually quite far apart; otherwise, their immense gravity would have already pulled the matter from their surfaces. But it's only temporary. If a third massive object were to influence their motion, they could very well collide before reaching a stable state. The immense energy from a collision would have an incalculable impact on the local wormhole in Ramla. If the wormhole's passage were severed, even if the land beneath our feet were unharmed, we would be stuck here forever."
"But that's almost impossible!" Su Huilan retorted. "The planet beneath our feet couldn't possibly be massive enough to form a three-body relationship with two stars; otherwise, we wouldn't be able to stand on it at all, we'd be crushed into a pulp by gravity long ago. It clearly has a surface and atmosphere similar to Earth, so it should be a very Earth-like planet. Even so, I still find it incredible. If every endpoint of Ramla is like this, how could there be so many habitable Earth-like planets in the Milky Way? Almost exactly like Earth!"
"You're right. We were originally in a binary star system. But now the stars' trajectories have suddenly changed, which means something else must be influencing it. Even if it's not the planet beneath our feet, it could be another celestial body that has suddenly intruded without our detection."
Perhaps his eyes were tired from looking up, Situ stopped looking at the sky and twisted his neck. This action made him look no different from an ordinary person, no longer as mysterious as before.
"As for the Earth-like planets you mentioned, it is indeed difficult to explain. Logically speaking, even if Earth-like planets exist, they couldn't possibly be in such a similar state to Earth. However, let's consider this: since we landed on the island, it seems our feet have never left the island's land. Perhaps we are still on an island on Earth, only this island was cut off by Ramla's wormhole to another location in the universe, which is why there is Ghost Island on Earth."
"You mean each endpoint of Ramla is a Ghost Island on Earth?"
"It may not be all of them, but some of them might be. And they may not all be islands; there might be other mysterious places as well."
"Is it possible that one of the pyramids is one of them?" Su Huilan suddenly thought, "Otherwise, why would the underwater ruins be an inverted pyramid? And some things about the Egypt pyramids are indeed very mysterious."
" The Maya pyramids are also suspicious," Mrs. Larry said. "However, I don't quite agree with your point of view, because if you think about it that way, the whole of Ramla becomes too close to the earth, and it sounds like the tunnels of this Ant Nest are like the tentacles of the earth."
A blue image of Earth immediately appeared in Qingmu's mind. It floated in space, with a few sparse tentacles growing on it, twisting and turning as they stretched towards distant galaxies. It looked like a blue brain connected to several nutrient pipes.
