BXBX NOVEL Chapter 214 - Another Explosion
Raising his hand to his fix his hair Rin asks. "I have been meaning to bring that up, how will those rockets as you call them be able to move the planet they look way to small to be able to have the proper effect and would likely fry the surface of this world."
"Ha, that is funny, however if I am not wrong you must be thinking of some sort of primitive propulsion rockets that would have to be connected to the crust of the planet. These will float up to the atmosphere and connect with the energy shield we have put up that solid. It will say in place and thus holding our rockets up in space, will allow us to adjust the planets orbit as needed." Blake explains as simply as she can at the moment.
It is not without thought that she said such a thing, but just that, things that require massive amounts of resources as well as taking up lots of real estate that could be used other ways is a thing of the past, long since passed. At least this is the case for the high orcs and the planet on which they were born. Especially since with wars running rampant on their old planet, and borders frequently changing they had to be able to use up as little space as they could, and preferably be able to move it on the run with ease if needed.
Rin then says. "Well, as you can tell I am less of an engineer, but still know my fair share. After all, I did make .... never mind, anyways since everything is nearing its completion, I guess I will go keep our guests company. In the mean time keep up the good work, and here, this should allow you to watch the progression of the planet relocation project." Rin states as he looks up and to his right as lines begin to appear in the sky making a large rectangle, then the screen begins to form. A second later it begins showing the view from outer space, allowing them to see the whole planet as it gradually moves into the portal on its own.
When the others avert their gazes from the screen back to the emperor, they notice he is already gone, no where to be seen, and thus they start heading back to their respective areas. This being either to get back to work, or to do whatever they please if they have nothing to work on at the moment.
The time passes, and before anyone realizes 4 and a half hours pass. Everything has progressed smoothly so far, the planet has gotten the majority of the way through the portal, the guests have enjoyed their time talking to each other as they watch things progress from arguably the best seats in the house so to speak. With the high orcs and goblins hard at work, most of the rockets are finished as they only need enough to adjust the planet, and depending on the circumstances they can move them as needed across the energy shielding. Even Yueliang and Ai Lan have been passing their time quite joyfully, although painful at first for a few seconds, it quickly turned to pleasure there after.
And with the hours having passed of them being so active together, Ai Lan fell asleep as she is exhausted, quickly followed by Yueliang a split second after. The only odd part being the fact that they did not even reposition themselves, and just passed out on the spot. Although both had large smiles on their faces as they slept, and as such neither would be likely to ever forget their first night.
Less than thirty minutes remaining and everyone is on the edge of their seats regardless of whether they are sitting or standing in anticipation. This feeling is practically a hundred times stronger than the one when people count down for the new years given the fact that whether this succeeds or fails will determine the lives of millions if not billions of people. Obviously not counting those people like the emperor who could leave the planet in the blink of an eye should things become troublesome.
With one day equal to the blink of an eye of any decently strong cultivator, thirty minutes give or take a few was like counting down the seconds until everything changes. Some of the many people watching even started to feel their adrenaline pumping feeling as if they just jumped off a cliff but are waiting until that last second to pull their parachute so to speak.
Getting down to the last ten seconds, some of them count in their heads, whilst others out loud excitedly chanting. 10 . 9 . 8 . 7 . 6 . 5 . 4 . 3 . 2 . 1...
*BOOM
Rewinding time back a few seconds, the Emperor Rin decided to do something fun for all those people watching, and while none of this would have been necessary if done before, he felt this was better and more fun for more reasons than one. So he closes his eyes and focusing on the meteor times everything perfectly. The moment the planet passes through the portal, he blows up all the rockets around the meteor before blowing it up itself using his mental power and chi.
Then opening his eyes, he too watches the sight of everything exploding like fireworks up in the sky and smiles as he thinks about the appeal of fireworks. \'It is just so much fun watching fire works, maybe I should make some more holidays on this planet just so we can play with them more? Hmm, never mind it might not be as fun if I did, anyways, time to close the portal.\' So snapping his fingers the portal closes and so to does the scene of the fireworks going off ends.
With that all done, he stands up and lets the guests stay a little while longer, as he feels that it would be a little sad to push them out the moment the spectacle ends and so he says. "Hopefully you all enjoyed the journey, and maybe this will be something for your generations to come to hear of. So enjoy, and have a wonderful night, I will be heading back to work. If you get lost the guards will help you find your way back to the gate not that it seems possible."
So with that said he takes his leave from the guests and heads back to his throne room to start taking care of anything that needs be done at the moment while thinking to himself. \'Hmm, this was more enjoyable than most days. Seems like it would be a great idea to work on a new project ever few years, and I have the perfect idea for a new one. Too bad we have to wait a while before putting it into action.\'
Then with a smirk, he just keeps on walking and starts thinking of all the things he has yet to do, feeling wiped out just at the thought of having to take care of hundreds if not a thousand worlds is a major job. \'I cannot wait to pass this job on to someone else whoever that may be so long at they do a good job.\'
Meanwhile most of the guests are leaving while there are a few shameless people collecting as much food as they can from the food tables, seeing as this is some of the most delicious food they have ever laid their taste buds upon. Then again it is not all that surprising, considering only the most talented, or the strongest people where allowed to even apply to work for the royal family.
Not to mention the fact that being one of those only opens the door, they had series of tests, and their loyalty had to be checked as well, meaning the Emperor had to personally oversee their internship before they are accepted. There where only very rare exceptions to the rigorous testing and it was so little it could be counted on one hand and would be negligible to even use as a statistic in this.
Thus while these people where collecting all the food they could the guards just roll their eyes and ignore this scene since it was not like they were told to do anything about such an action. Then once all of the tables are practically wiped clean the guards walk forward and say the same line to all the remaining guests. "We must be getting back to our posts now, so if you would please follow us, it is time to go. May you have a wonderful day, and forever remember the generosity of our Emperor."
