Chapter 1007: A Dazzling Star Born from Human Wisdom (Part II)
Calvin stood in the middle of this boundless void, and at his feet was the world he had always lived in.
- Or, rather, 'planet'!
From here, in this hemisphere, where no sun was visible, he could only see the vague outlines of the two continents, and the rest of the place was shrouded in shadows.
Surrounding the two continents was a dark ocean, with a mist-like shimmer lingering on the edge of the sphere, and as far as the eye could see, Calvin could only see the scattered islands dotting the edges of the two continents, and at the junction of the two continents, there was this deep darkness.
He knew that it was the 'Inland Sea' that separated the continent of Sloh and the continent of Mendes, and it was also the central area of the Black Forest today, the most dangerous place on the continent of Sloh Mendes.
But what should have been a pitch black, vague earth, but there were a few stubborn bright spots, unwilling to be swallowed by the surrounding darkness.
Calvin didn't think anything of it when he saw those few bits of light, but his eyes became moist, and through a thick hood, he couldn't wipe away the tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes, so he could only let them flow on his face.
He knew those places—Morro, Lolandal, Winder, Greenland, Norman......
A spark of wisdom lit a torch, and people raised it high to illuminate the dark and foolish wilderness.
Although there are only these few lights now, Calvin wants to believe that it will not be long before the light of humanity will bloom on this land.
At this moment, the screen of the mobile phone hanging on the shelf on his chest suddenly lit up, and Calvin also noticed this phenomenon, so he picked the phone up from there, raised his left hand, and awkwardly clicked the 'on' button on the screen.
On the other side of the screen, his teacher nodded to him, and Calvin laughed along, his face full of joy.
At least this 'communication satellite' has completed the communication with the Ogordon Empire, that is, the Sloh continent, and if it can connect to the network of the Mendes continent, then he will have successfully completed the mission.
Maxim made a gesture towards the phone screen, knowing that nothing could be heard in a vacuum outside of the atmosphere, except with spells.
However, the technology of the world of Assatom has not yet advanced to the point where it can use the 'Internet' to cast spells, and it may appear in the future, but at least not yet.
According to the pre-arrangement, his students will then start communication with the Mendez continent - of course, provided that the communication satellite can actually match the network of the Mendez continent.
Although the standards had been made long before this, Maxim was still a little uneasy.
Calvin gave a thumbs up, signaling that he understood, and then put the phone back, did not turn off the communication, and slowly marched towards the other side with both hands holding the steel bars reserved in advance around the communication satellite, whether it was the signal receiver or the transmitter on the other side.
Integrated operation may be more convenient, but it is not convenient to maintain and repair, and in this time and age, if a communications satellite is damaged, they have no second one to replace it, and it is difficult to repair it.
From the very beginning, this communication satellite was not only made by the 'power of the whole country', but also contained the whimsical ideas from all over the mainland, and the wisdom of mankind was vividly and exquisitely embodied in this satellite.
In Calvin's eyes, this 'big box' may not be as dazzling as the sun, but at least for now, it shines brighter than all the other stars hanging in the sky.
At this moment, it is blooming its own 'light'!
As the mana wave radiated to the earth, Calvin's mind slowly sank into the void.
He would continue to wait here, waiting for a response that he didn't know if it would come, but according to the pre-regulations, if he couldn't get an answer within an hour, then he would need to return to the Empire with the communications satellite to repair and readjust the satellite.
He didn't want that outcome, and that didn't fit the 'big box'.
Perhaps when a civilization is advancing, it will experience many setbacks and go through many wrong paths, and one thing will not change according to their will - to be honest, the calculations and experiments they do are only reducing the possibility of accidents in one thing and one thing to infinitesimal ones, no matter what, there can be absolutely perfect things in this world, and naturally it is impossible to guarantee that they have done everything in this matter.
However, Calvin did not want to make a mistake in this kind of promotion of social development and civilization progress, maybe it was just a harmless small mistake, and if it went wrong this time, it would be enough to correct it next time, and maybe in a few days, the repaired communication satellite would be able to reappear here......
But...... To sum it up, he didn't want to see that happen.
So he could only pray silently, praying to the ethereal 'lucky' as a transcendent mage who did not believe in any gods, that this time his mission would be successfully completed.
On the ground, Gregory typed his phone into his phone again and again the 'experimental communication number' on the Mendez continent, a gesture he had been repeating from the moment Calvin responded.
【No search targets!】
【No search targets!】
【No search targets!】
[No search target ......]
This message appeared in front of his eyes again and again, but he was unmoved, just silently deleted the number and entered it again.
【No search targets!】
【No search targets!】
【No search targets!】
【David Urso】
Seeing this name, Grigory took a deep breath and raised his left hand high, "Your Excellency Maxim, the name of the messenger is 'David Urso', right?"
The calming voice resounded in this wide and silent venue, attracting everyone's attention.
Legendary mage Huo Ran looked up and didn't say a word, but his right hand had already clenched the staff, and his mouth was tightly pursed.
The others were dumbfounded, and then, as if they had done a thousand rehearsals, invariably picked up their phones and expertly typed in that number.
【David Urso】
【David Urso】
【David Urso】
David Urso!!
There was no cheering, no agitation, they stared at their phones in a daze, silent.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the strangeness of the others, Alisa's heart jumped, and she immediately turned to Gregory and asked eagerly, "Calvin, did he succeed?"
Her voice shattered the eerie calm, causing the corners of the legendary mage's mouth to rise, causing them to raise their heads and look at each other.
Then, there was an uproar!
In just a moment, cheers filled the vast experimental field, heading straight for the bright stars in the sky.
Alyssa was startled by the voices at first, then her eyes widened slowly, and her voice trembled with excitement, "He, he succeeded...... So, when will he be able to come back?"
Gregory didn't get in on the cheerful atmosphere around him, he looked up at the sky, "Maybe it's now......
Calvin smiled and took back his phone, looking back at the vast sea of stars.
He stretched out his hand to the stars that dotted the eternal darkness and whispered, "One day, I will see you for what you really are—not as a mage, but as an 'explorer'!"
With that, he tightened his staff, [Astral Teleportation], and activated!
A meteor-like light broke through the clouds that covered the moon and landed on the ground outside of Moro.
Calvin lifted his suit without anyone's help, then walked forward briskly and hugged the oncoming figure into his arms.
He heard a low cry, and as a lady, she wouldn't cry anything, however, her sobbing and trembling body showed her unease.
"I'm back......" Calvin took a deep breath and said softly.
