Chapter 494 Gordon
"Treat them well." Charles said to the person in charge of the nursing home in front of him.
"Don't worry, Governor, my subordinates and I will do our best to serve your crew." The middle-aged man with eyes in a white coat said respectfully to Charles
"They are not my crew, they are my family." After Charles said this, he turned around and left this sad place with Anna.
Charles didn't get on the car to the Governor's Mansion. Seeing the tragedy of the crew, he felt a little bored and wanted to take a walk to relax.
Anna stretched out both hands to wrap his arms around him, and leaned her head lightly on his shoulder.
"How about it, have you decided to go up? When are we going to leave? I'll go up with you."
Charles put his right hand around her waist. "It's not that simple. We don't know what's going on up there, whether it's been blocked by the army, and where it's located. Now that you've decided to go up, you should be fully prepared."
"Why is it so troublesome? Do you want Shining to go up to explore the way first?"
"No!" Charles immediately vetoed this method. "If there is really any danger up there, it would be too risky for her to go up like this. Didn't you say before that she said there was something frightening up there?"
"What are you afraid of? The sky is falling and there are tall people holding it up. The God of Light is going up. If there is anything up there, they will definitely pinch it first."
"That's our daughter, can you not take such a risk? No matter what, you must be fully prepared before going up."
When Charles said this, he suddenly thought of something, and led Anna to the Institute of Relics.
Through the heavily guarded gate, Charles walked into the most closed area of Hope Island.
Soldiers on guard stood on high towers covered with barbed wire, with shiny rotary machine guns next to them.
Anyone not authorized to come near here is subject to their merciless shooting.
There are no machine guns on some of the towers, but some soldiers wearing black hats are standing, holding various detection relics in their hands to ensure that no one will use relics or special abilities to sneak in.
James was not here today, and Charles was greeted by Gordon who brought the analysis machine.
"Dear Governor, your citizen Gordon welcomes you." The fat man with golden teeth bowed his head deeply to Charles.
"Why are you still here? You haven't contacted your people?" Charles walked towards the exhibition room.
"Governor, the entire Earth-Sea telegraph network is paralyzed now, not to mention the cross-sea area, even the islands can't be contacted, but judging from the situation of those murderous rays of light, they are probably in danger."
Charles heard the difference between Gordon's words and the way he called himself.
Gordon seemed to guess that earth-shaking changes had taken place outside. Without the Royal Chamber of Commerce as the backstage, as a businessman, he immediately began to change his goal and pledged his allegiance to Charles.
"Your Excellency, please look at this. This is a display made of the latest cathode ray tube material. It uses magnetic tape to store content. Although the technology is still very flawed, after my efforts, it has already started to be sold on the island and has started to make a profit."
Gordon, who followed Charles to the exhibition room, spared no effort to show his ability to his new boss.
Anna, who was holding Charles, stretched out her finger, poked it into the hole in the tape the size of a brick, and turned it around.
"Hehe, it's really unique to use tapes to store video content."
"Let's start from scratch, what else do you want with the level of technology in this place?"
Charles walked to the side and assembled the machinery to look at it. This thing looked like some kind of vortex furnace, but it was smaller and more refined, and it produced a lot of new things.
Anna looked at Lin Linzong on the table in surprise, "Your place is really nice. We agreed before that this island is under my control now."
"Okay, you will be the new governor of Hope Island from now on."
"Haha, I just like your generosity, and I don't love you for nothing." Anna hugged Charles and kissed him.
Charles, who pushed Anna away with his hand, turned to look at Gordon next to him, "Why do these new things look familiar to me? There were many similar things in the British Isles before, right?"
There was a hint of embarrassment on Gordon's face, but he quickly explained. "Indeed, but everything starts with imitation, but there is absolutely nothing like this in the British Isles."
As Gordon said, he led Charles to a table-sized model, which was a device similar to a railroad track, except that its carriage was not placed on it, but hung below it.
"Your Excellency, this is a new vehicle sample produced by the research institute. It was stranded due to material reasons, but now there are all kinds of alloys, and we can fully demonstrate this conjecture."
With the white steam coming out of the front seat of the mini car, the train slowly turned along the lower end of the track.
Charles stretched out his hand to touch it, and said hesitantly, "Are you planning to hang this thing on the top rock formation?"
Gordon's eyes were full of excitement, "You guessed it right away, really worthy of being the governor, as long as we have this thing, we don't have to be afraid of those things in the sea anymore, and the traffic and transportation between the islands will have a huge impact. convenience."
"And this thing will connect the various islands, completely eliminate the barriers between the previous islands, your control map will no longer be trapped with Hope Island, whichever island this track goes to, which island is yours territory!"
Charles looked at the rail train in front of him with a complicated expression. This thing is a variant of the train, and some human history always repeats itself.
I hope that the island's technology has once again made a breakthrough. I should be happy, but Charles thinks of the God of Light for some reason.
"The God of Light didn't even attack us. He could kill all the people in the entire Earthsea just by showing his face in Earthsea. Anna, tell me, what is our human technology? Even if we make hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs later out, but is it really useful to face them?"
"And don't forget that it's just the God of Light. What about the sleeping God of Fortan? Compared to them, what are we? What are we all?"
Charles turned his head to look at the various items in the exhibition room. With the help of the Institute of Relics, Hope Island's technological level has advanced by leaps and bounds, and it is undergoing an Earthsea-style technological explosion.
However, all of these things feel like nothing in front of the completely irresistible power of the God of Light.
Anna glared at Charles with dissatisfaction, "What's the use of talking nonsense? Since they are powerful, then find a way to gain their power."
"Get their power? Recreate a God of Light? Look at what He, who should be a human god, has done. When he has the power of a god, he becomes another kind of existence."
