After saying that, Charles raised his finger and gently poked Bandage's forehead. All the causes and consequences of the matter instantly entered Bandage's mind.
"I have seen the future. Soon, the surface and center of the Sea of Energy will be connected. If that moment really comes, it will be the end of the world where everything will be wiped out."
Perhaps because he had seen many big scenes, Bandage’s reaction was not as big as Charles thought.
He just looked at his captain with a determined look. "So, what is your mission for me?"
"I am looking for a surface exit. If you find one, you can use the Foundation's technology to leave Earth and find other planets to survive."
"If you can't find the exit, then use the second plan. When the surface connects to the sea, you take the opportunity to leave. This plan may not have a high success rate, but at least it is a solution."
In order to make Bandage understand the opportunity, Charles patiently explained it to him for a long time.
"We don't... build flying... ships."
"It should be in the high-tech information obtained from the Foundation."
"Well, but time...is not enough..." As Bandage finished his words, the wooden bookcase on the right quickly came back to life and bore fruit.
Inside the fruit is the Hope Island Technology Development Plan formulated by Bandage. It follows the normal steps and lays out the technological development of Hope Island for a long time to come.
But after a quick glance, Charles shook his head. According to the 100-year plan formulated by Bandage, it would take 200 years to bring the technology on Hope Island into the interstellar era.
If we want to let them escape into interstellar space on their own, I'm afraid it's too late.
"200 years is too long. It's too late. How long will it take for Hope Island to digest the food at the fastest speed?"
Bandage explained Charles' request rationally. "The development of science and technology requires the first batch of people from the academy to graduate. 200 years is the fastest speed."
"Is it still not working? Don't worry, I have a solution. Help me find some people to come over. They must be absolutely loyal to you."
The first mate carried out the captain's order without hesitation, and as soon as he made a phone call, he quickly selected qualified personnel from the Hope Island Navy and the Relics Research Institute.
Charles didn't want many people, 50 was just enough.
Faced with the Governor's order, these 50 men and women were obviously unprepared and looked around secretly with curiosity in their eyes.
They didn't react when they saw the bandages, but when Charles appeared in front of them, they were so excited that they almost shouted out loud.
Governor Charles, the explorer of the Island of Hope, the hero who saved Earthsea, as a character in the textbook, they couldn't possibly not know him.
There are many different opinions about Charles' previous disappearance. Some say that Charles died in an internal fight among the top leaders of Hope Island, while others say that he returned to the sea for endless exploration.
But no matter what, after being gone for so long, most people felt that Charles would never appear again.
But now, the famous figure on the Earth Sea actually appeared in front of him.
Some people even rolled up their sleeves and compared their tattoos with the real person in shock. It was obvious that there were quite a few people on the island who worshipped him as an idol.
Bandage leaned over slightly and whispered in Charles' ear. "They are absolutely loyal and are used to... serve as death warriors..."
Charles nodded with satisfaction. As he raised his hand, accompanied by a flash of white light, everyone present instantly came to Charles' island.
Before these people could see clearly the branches surrounding them, spiral tentacles of flesh and blood emerged from the ground and pierced directly into the back of the heads of these 50 people, lifting them into the air.
Everyone's expressions showed pain and they began to scream loudly. As they screamed, their skulls were gradually cracked by the thing inside.
When everyone's scalp was stretched to be almost transparent, they all turned into big-headed dolls, but this was not the end.
The brain, wrapped in a transparent scalp, gradually bent under the influence of gravity and finally stuck to their backs.
A person's head is so careless that it has to be carried on his back.
Because the brain cavity has become larger, there is no room for the eyes, and they all bulge outward, looking very monster-like.
When everything was over, they were slowly lowered to the ground.
They looked at each other in shock at the strange looks of their compatriots, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
But soon, some people in the crowd quickly discovered the special features of their bodies.
They found that not only had their thinking become extremely fast, but their intelligence had also been greatly enhanced, and it became very easy for them to learn and understand all knowledge.
One of them looked at Charles with admiration in his eyes and immediately knelt on one knee.
Seeing his masterpiece, Charles nodded with satisfaction. He turned his head and looked at the bandages. "With them, we should be able to absorb the Foundation's knowledge as quickly as possible and create tools to leave the Earth."
"Of course the more people the better, but if the spacecraft can't take them all, then we can only take as many as we can."
"Since... you are so... powerful... actually... you can... just... take us away..."
The bandage suggested another option.
Charles chuckled softly and patted his bandaged shoulder.
"Actually, I came to you today because I'm afraid I'll die or lose control someday, so I came to prepare a backup plan."
"To be honest, even though I can almost be called a god now, I am still not completely sure whether I can live till tomorrow."
Hearing this, Bandage's dull expression seemed somewhat depressed. "If you... die... then what about our agreement... There will be no one to kill... me."
"When that time comes, find someone else."
Charles finished speaking, reached into his pocket and pulled out two paintings, spreading them out in front of the bandages.
The top picture shows Charles' parents and sister, and the other one shows Anna.
Looking at these two paintings, Charles recalled every detail of the earth's surface and couldn't help but smile.
Although he has less and less humanity now, he still feels a little peace in his heart when he recalls his family.
"These are all my family members. The address and map are on the back of the painting. If you are lucky enough to escape from the Earth Sea, please help me pick them up as well."
Charles said, and stuffed the two paintings into the bandaged hands.
"Of course, if the situation is extremely critical, then forget about everything and rush out of the earth with the other people on the island."
Bandage nodded. Okay. Mo Shan, who was standing next to him, listened to all this silently.
And he took out a tattoo needle and carved everything on his body.
