The dinner was delivered to the tent by the maid, but Captain Miller had no appetite for food.

The dinner was quite sumptuous, and the emperor in another tent seemed to value the health of his guest very much. Even if he was in the wild, he didn't need to survive in the wilderness. He could still enjoy extremely rich nutrition, the military rations in the wild and the meat that Captain Miller had never enjoyed before. This was already very satisfying. It is said that the Imperial Guards hunted a lion while going out for reconnaissance intelligence. He had no psychological barriers to eating protected animals. What really made him lose his appetite was the information he got from the emperor.

There was a rough long table made of logs in the center of the huge tent. The tall man in armor sat behind the table, his face exactly the same as what he saw in his dream. At the first glance at the emperor, he felt the emperor's strong presence. Even though the tent was not crowded at all, it could even be called empty, but he was a little breathless. Even so, Captain Miller still felt a strong sense of oppression, as if the air around him was telling the emperor's power, and even his breathing and heartbeat could be deprived. Unlike the gentleness of the conversation in the dream, he felt a strong fear.

It's not that he has met politicians.

Before becoming an astronaut at the Space Administration, he was a test pilot at Lockheed Martin. He had to face auditors sent by Congress and the Pentagon more than once, and had to face questions from members of Congress if necessary. Some people may feel nervous when facing high-powered people, but he hates those cunning and greedy politicians. They always look at their own wallets with one eye and the other to see what can fill their own wallets with more wallets, and use this as a criterion for measuring everything in the world. It seems that everything has a price, and the only difference is whether they can pay.

This time was an exception. Captain Miller could feel that the person in front of him could decide his life and death. The gaze of the ruler was examining him. The emperor judged whether he was worth his waste of time. Just as the school instilled in middle school, the centralized ruler must be cruel. He knew that under that gaze he had no power to decide, only the person sitting behind the long table had it. Captain Miller thought he was not stupid. He had long recognized the identity of the emperor. Even the guards who protected the tent and the armor on the emperor, he could recognize the emperor because he was the focus of the world.

Even if the White House and the Pentagon are reluctant, the conflict that took place in the UN Security Council has attracted worldwide attention. The air defense facilities arranged by the US Air Force Command on the East Coast have become a joke around the world. This is the first time that all Americans have truly felt that even being in North America is not safe. This is a fear that North American countries have never experienced before. No matter how politicians promote it, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq do not have the ability to attack North America, and only the emperor has this ability.

Just like the Americans feared that Soviet paratroopers fell from the sky during the Cold War, the media gave him one fearful or admirable title after another, boasting about His power and wealth, compiling slander and myths that never existed. After that, there was a crazy spread of despair and patriotism. Extreme nationalism and extreme liberalism became a trend again like the Vietnam War, and even began to influence the presidential election. Captain Miller scoffed at the media's lies.

He never believed in the media because they only spoke on behalf of his own financial lords. Now he began to believe in some of them - although he did not believe in the indoctrination of schools and media, the so-called centralizers are synonymous with evil. He would not be excited when he heard "freedom" and "911" like stupid people. He knew very well the truth of the war - he believed that the emperor had power beyond his reach. He had no doubt that such people were extremely charming. The mainstream media in the world were speculating why He could form such an army of peasants and workers, occupying the entire Balkans except Greece, thwarting NATO's joint military operations, threatening the entire Mediterranean countries including Spain and Egypt, and threatening the defense and economic security of Europe. Some people speculated that the emperor wanted to re-establish a country like the Roman Empire that regarded the Mediterranean as an inland sea.

He didn't know why the emperor could talk to him in his dreams, but he could be sure that the emperor had some kind of power that he could not understand. He dared not deny those supernatural events, but after experiencing such tragedies, he was wary of these supernatural events and those who possessed supernatural powers, and was no exception to the emperor who saved himself. People as gentle as Dr. Will have become madmen. Who can know if other people with supernatural powers will be as crazy as Dr. Will?

He also did not believe that the emperor would save him without reason, his life must be measured.

The emperor ignored him and continued his work.

He faced a laptop computer and a portable printer, the maid in armor, was now staying next to the printer and bound the printed files with kraft paper. Captain Miller approached and saw a long sword and a large-caliber pistol he had never seen before. He could smell the scent of the fired medicine from the muzzle. He had never seen such a weapon, nor did he see the ruler of any country who would actually use weapons to kill.

In his impression, those who hold power can collect at most beautifully patterned craft decorative weapons, or they may just carry out aristocratic movements to shoot frisbees and wild ducks with double-barrel hunting rifles. He really couldn't imagine those members of Congress taking guns to the battlefield, and the pens used to sign were far more lethal than pistols. There was no need for a real ruler to become a warrior himself, although he knew that such rulers were extremely charming and could not have such a centralized person who killed tens of thousands of people under the elected system.

The emperor's eyes moved away from the computer screen and began to pay attention to the only guest in the tent. "I'm glad you can recover from health. Your crew has been rescued, so don't worry about their health, including Justin."

"I am very grateful for your help, this... Your Majesty. This title is rare nowadays." Captain Miller sat across the table under the guidance of the maid. "Although I don't pay much attention to current affairs, I don't think I will not know some impressive ruler."

The emperor heard the mockery in his tone.

He laughed and signaled the maid to bring him and Captain Miller a glass of liquor, and then took a sip in front of Captain Miller to show friendship.

"What a miss, Tennessee whiskey." Captain Miller licked his lips. Every gram of weight in the spacecraft needs to be calculated. During the time of performing space missions, it is almost impossible for astronauts, except for Russian astronauts, to get in touch with any alcoholic beverage, let alone spirits. "I haven't drunk such wine for a long time. I'm curious, as an emperor, how could you drink such inferior wine from civilians?"

"This bottle of wine is placed at the bottom of the supply box. Dinah believes that this wine is not noble enough and can only be used to bribe the primitive people. However, all the brandy and vodka have been drunk, and this bottle of whiskey is also quite precious. The food I found after the last time jump is not suitable for winemaking, and my ability to appreciate wine is only to suit my appetite. In contrast, I prefer this wine."

"How long have I been in a coma?" Captain Miller asked.

"According to the schedule on the assault boat, there will be about a year. But you also know that time does not make any sense in the wormhole."

Both sides were silent for a while, only the printer was still tirelessly spitting out the paper. After a few minutes, Captain Miller couldn't help but ask a lot of questions. "If I guessed correctly, we had a time trip. Where exactly are we?"

"I don't mind answering your question slowly. Captain Miller, just take a rest." The emperor picked up the cup and pushed a roll of files on the table to Captain Miller. "I have to admit to you that there are still many things in this world that humans cannot explain, and that is only limited by the level of knowledge of humans of the times. Just like Asgard - I believe you must know this - the so-called Asa Gods are just a group of aliens with far more technological levels than humans, that's all,"

"The thing that manipulated Dr. Will is not a technology that humans don't understand." Captain Miller responded angrily, "I thought you were willing to tell me the truth, at least that's what your guards said."

"I'm willing to tell you, but I don't know if you want to know." The emperor sighed. "The more you know, the more you will feel desperate. At least most people will lose their courage because of too much knowledge."

"I want to know."

Captain Miller, who got the answer, was even more unhappy.

In short, during his coma, they made another time trip, and it was already very lucky to be able to return to Earth. Time is the parameter that describes the movement of objects. If they blindly sail through hyperspace, the next time landing point is most likely to be in space or inside a certain planet. The emperor showed him the data on the file, including day and night temperature difference, air oxygen content, planet rotation cycle, plant species, etc., and used these data to infer the time and planet they were in.

Now it is confirmed that they are still on Earth. The time they are in can be determined based on the geographical environment and astronomical events. The only thing that is thankful is that the Imperial Guard did not find dinosaurs or other prehistoric animals. The emperor expressed regret for this. He joked that he really wanted to raise a trilobite as a pet, but the oxygen content on the earth at that time might poison ordinary people like Captain Miller.

At the same time, the emperor also admitted to him that there are things in this world that are regarded as supernatural by many humans. However, the emperor claimed that this was because science and technology were not advanced enough, which led to the birth of many superstitions. The emperor used Asgard as an example. The so-called superstition, gods, and magic were just that humans were limited by the dogma of experience at that time and could not be explained. Another dimension could still be explained by science. However, the level of human knowledge had not reached that level. The murder of the crew of two spaceships, Dr. Will and his wife Claire was the predator of another dimension. The emperor called it an external dimension entity, and Captain Miller thought he was more willing to call it a demon. He did not think that it was something that could be understood by rational humans, but he did not refute it.

He always felt that the emperor had concealed something, but he could not understand what the emperor had concealed from him.

"How do we go back to 2016?" Captain Miller asked the question he wanted to know the most.

"There are many questions about time travel, but I think we may still follow the Novikov principle of self-consistentness, namely the circular world line. What we do will only lead to an increase in the entropy of the isolated system, and non-isolated systems may reduce entropy to balance the extra part of the entropy."

After answering the questions, the emperor also made his own request.

This made Captain Miller relieved. He finally waited for the requirement to measure his life. He had long known that people like the Emperor would not save him for no reason. The Emperor claimed that he had a space fleet that needed a captain. That fleet was much larger than the fleet that sailed to the edge of the solar system to save him, so it also required many qualified crew members. Although he did not see the so-called space fleet, Captain Miller believed it without hesitation - even when he saw the information about the ships in the file, many space warships were more than ten kilometers in size.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What do you want me to do?"

"I need you to command that fleet. When we return to our original time point, we will face an extremely serious space battle. I need qualified captains and officers." The emperor said, "I need you to be the captain and train crew members. I need your help, Captain Miller. Without you, the earth cannot defeat the invaders."

"Alien invasion? Or demon?"

"I would rather call it an external dimension entity. Please remember this name. Superlight speed navigation cannot leave the external dimension for the time being. Most people do not know what is in the external dimension, and I don't want them to know, which will make them lose the courage to explore outside. If humans lose their courage, they will always be babies. Infants cannot face this dangerous universe."

After the emperor drank the wine in his hand, even Captain Miller could sense his dissatisfaction.

"Luckily, all we are going to face for the moment is aliens. I have warned governments that an alien fleet is approaching the earth and that it is the earth. As a result, you guessed that this warning is often regarded as crazy rather than sane before having enough advanced observation methods."

"So, where are the crew?"

"When the Imperial Guards finish their reconnaissance, we will go to the local indigenous peoples to select suitable teenagers. It only requires enough education and knowledge, and I believe they can complete the task."

"I can't live for so long." Captain Miller gasped, feeling like he was fooled.

"You can, Captain Miller. You have been in a coma for a year, but do you feel your muscles shrink now?" Hearing this, Captain Miller couldn't help but shrink his arm. Apart from the pain he had just woken up, he didn't feel weak. This was another question, so he threw his questions to the emperor, who also answered. "Your time has been artificially still, and you can't wake up until I confirm that you are not polluted by external dimensions."

Although it sounds a bit incredible, Captain Miller also thinks it is the truth. The whole world knows that the emperor has extremely advanced technology, so it may not be surprising that artificial time is stagnant. Captain Miller feels that he is increasingly unable to understand the world. "You mean, is I able to survive because you allow it?" Captain Miller was a little dissatisfied. He glanced at the pistol on the table, then at the giant sword on the table, and finally thought that the emperor was telling the truth, "Why is it me?"
