Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start Novel - Chapter 270
Chapter 270: A Memory
Himmel Soan nodded after hearing the report. It hadn’t been long since Moon had united the world. What Warren had achieved was already impressive.
“The portal will open in two days. You need to be prepared. Although K18 is habitable, it’s also a primitive planet. I think you know what I mean. Unlike Earth, there are no houses, cars, or factories there. Do you understand?”
Those words made Warren’s head buzz. Himmel Soan didn’t say much, but his words contained an incredible amount of information.
The portal was going to open in two days, and that news alone had baffled Warren. That was so sudden!
It was supposed to be three months or one month at least!
It had been less than two weeks since that announcement, and the portal was already going to open. No one was told this in advance!
Anybody who learned about it would be baffled. Needless to say, Warren knew what the Patriarch’s second part of the conversation meant.
There was nothing on K18, which meant they would have to start from scratch when they got there.
Houses, roads, clothing… Everything needed to start over. Warren had been working on these things and getting ready to leave Earth recently.
“Patriarch, can we bring some resources to K18?” This was what concerned Warren the most. If the answer was no, they would have to start from scratch on K18, repeating everything they had done on Earth.
…
And it would have to start from the Stone Age. They would definitely encounter many difficulties. Things would be much easier if they could bring some resources along.
Resources…
Himmel Soan had thought about it, too. If they were to bring materials with them, it wouldn’t be a few tons. Even tens of millions of tons of materials wouldn’t be enough.
“The portal will only open for twenty-four hours. It’ll close right after that, and we’ll have to wait ten years for the next time it opens.
“There are so many people on Earth. It’ll take a while for all of them to go through the portal. We’ll need about twenty hours for that. You can use the next four hours to transport materials.
“Collect as many building materials as you can. I’ll see what I can do.”
Warren’s eyes lit up. If the Patriarch was going to take over, everything was going to be fun.
It had been on Warren’s mind for a long time. Now that the Patriarch had taken over, everything else felt like a piece of cake. Collecting materials couldn’t be easier.
“Great! Thank you, Patriarch!”
Warren was going to get busy. Just as he was about to leave, Himmel Soan stopped him.
“There’s one more thing. Earth should return to normal in thirty years, and people may want to come back, so don’t take away everything. After all, it is our home planet, and there’s a sentimental value to it.
“Don’t let me keep you.”
Himmel Soan let Warren go back to his business.
The man-made moon was about to disappear, but the original moon was still missing. Once this moon was gone, too, Earth would undergo drastic changes again.
No one knew how much Earth would change without a moon. If it was still uninhabitable in thirty years, they could always make K18 into their official home.
After all, the two planets were essentially the same, and the Earthlings would have to live on K18 for at least thirty years. That was long enough to change a lot of things.
Earth was very different thirty years ago, and people struggled to feed themselves back then. The children he adopted were only small kids thirty years ago. Three decades had passed in the blink of an eye, and they had all grown up.
People were no longer worried about food, and all the technology was so advanced. The thirty years had passed so fast!
Himmel Soan had experienced many thirty years. He wondered what K18 would become in thirty years.
He closed his eyes. Instead of trying to imagine it, he wanted to witness it with the rest of the world.
A figure suddenly jumped into his mind. It had been a while since he remembered that person. The memory only hit him when he was about to leave Earth. Before, he would have stopped himself before that memory resurfaced.
He didn’t want to recall that person. He was even a little afraid of that memory. He was scared of remembering that person and the days he had gone through.
Since he was going to leave Earth, he decided to let the memory come back.
He heard footsteps in his mind. Some were heavier, some were lighter, some were faster, and some were slower. There was one thing that he knew for sure. All the footsteps belonged to the same person.
It was the person in his memory.
The footsteps suddenly stopped, replaced by a pleasant chuckle. “Himmel, why are you so quiet?’
Himmel Soan spun around, but there was no one behind him.
