Chapter 26: Moon’s Dream Sea
On a silent and deserted night, if you look up at the sky, you will surely see the bright moon.
But if you look more closely, or take out a magnifying glass? You will find – on the surface of the moon, there are many slightly dim spots, like freckles, on a face.
Ancient people noticed this point long ago, but mistakenly believed them to be oceans on the moon, hence the romantic place names like “Sea of Tranquility”.
But in reality?
Those are actually uneven landforms on the moon caused by geological reasons and meteorite impacts.
And the most famous one among them.
Is the “Tycho Crater”, with its countless radiation lines, hailed as the moon’s number one wonder.
It is located on the side of the moon, and on a clear night, it can even be seen with the naked eye – it is a crater with a diameter of about 50 kilometers, and the crater walls on both sides are more than 1600 meters high.

And now…
Here, it has been made the royal capital by robots.
A giant circular glass dome covers the entire crater, and within it? There is a vast lake…
And the interior of this crater has been filled with liquid, but this liquid doesn’t seem to be water, and it shines brightly under the sun’s rays.
Above the lake is the Moon’s Dream Sea, which Corey called the Miracle City.
There are many domed buildings composed of countless arcs, their exteriors as peculiar as the Sagrada Familia.
There are also many buildings that float on the Dream Sea like small islands… and according to Corey, these buildings are not as simple as they appear.
……
“Your Highness of Humanity, these buildings are one of the specialties of our Robot Kingdom: modular buildings. They are usually dispersed, but when needed, they can be combined together according to different requirements.”
“Oh?”
“For example, that thing that looks like a ‘biosphere’ is actually our energy center. If it’s connected to a magnetic storm coil, it can become a power-supplying defensive weapon – the Moon’s Eiffel. If it’s connected to a factory, it can increase production efficiency in a short period of time, and even produce a combat mecha called Gundam…”
“Wow, so amazing…”
Even Lonis was so amazed that she couldn’t close her mouth.
After taking the guests to overlook from a high place, the Galaxy Train slowly entered the Moon’s Dream Sea from the entrance.
Have you ever seen a golden ocean?
If she hadn’t seen that scene with her own eyes, Lonis wouldn’t have believed her eyes!
The distant lake shimmered and emitted a faint fragrance… It was like pouring fresh beer into the lake. Through the translucent lake water, you could see some peculiar small fish swimming.
The platform is located on this golden lake. Although the material is metal, it is treated to imitate wood grain… Everything is illuminated by gold, giving it a dreamlike atmosphere.
Moreover, the decorative plants on both sides of the station are ridiculously large! An ordinary leaf is the size of Lonis, and the giant branches are even large enough for a train to pass through directly.
“So amazing…”
“Su Ling is already a bit stunned.”
Little idiot Lonis and little idiot Su Ling were so surprised that they forgot to walk.
As for Elus, she shrugged as usual, looking indifferent: “What’s wrong, little fox, are you scared silly already?”
“I-I’m not scared silly at all.”
“Hmph, let me remind you? That’s not ordinary water, but an ionic sea rich in energy.”
“Ionic sea?”
“For robots, it can be directly drunk to replenish energy. It’s not dangerous for ordinary humans, at most it will cause a slight tingling sensation, but… for you, little fox? Hmph hmph!”
“Wuwu?”
“Being electrocuted to the point of losing control is considered mild~~ You’ll probably be directly stunned and turn into a little idiot who can only drool!”
“H-how can you say that!”
……
……
Because Elus startled her, Lonis didn’t dare to stray too far from the black-haired girl.
She was afraid that she might fall down due to her own carelessness… Elus, on the other hand, kept holding her collar and walking ahead with her.
The further they walked, the more surprised Lonis became.
Because there were so many statues of great people erected in the city!
And these statues, unlike the statues of various characters in the Vast Sea, were not those of characters from “All Stars”, but statues of people she didn’t recognize.
There were men and women, old and young.
Were these the founders of the robots?
Lonis hesitated for a moment, then at the end of the statues, she discovered a statue of a young girl.
This statue was very beautiful, and her flowing long hair seemed to flutter as if swayed by the wind.
Even though the statue was not colored, Lonis still recognized it without a doubt – this was a carving of the princess from the past, Lonis!
“Elus, that!!!”
“Mm-hmm, isn’t it just a statue? What’s so strange about it~~~”
“But, but…”
“Little fox, have you forgotten? Didn’t I come here before? And at that time, I also resolved the internal strife of the Robot Kingdom with senior Tsukimi Shimo.”
“Oh…?”
“Isn’t it natural to have a statue erected? It’s just that now, there’s a shameless little idiot impersonating me and scamming people in this world, which makes me very unhappy~~~”
Looking at Lonis, Elus said with a smile.

……
“Humans, have they arrived?”
Sensing the landing signal of the Galaxy Train, Diya slowly opened her eyes.
She lowered her head and looked at her hands… Fortunately, even after so many years, she could still control this body and perform corresponding actions.
Unlike ordinary robots, Diya lived as the core of this royal capital of robots.
Her true body is an abnormally large central computer, which cannot move at all, and has no human-like parts on it.
Normally, to ensure the normal operation of the entire kingdom, Diya would immerse her “self-awareness” in “rational consciousness”… In other words, she would be in a state of slumber.
Only when there is a need to process emotions will she wake up. She communicates with humans through remote control.
Because…
“I remember… humans prefer to interact with humanoid beings, right?”
Realizing this, Diya walked to the mirror—well, everything looked perfect, deep purple beautiful hair, white skin, slender legs, and clear, bright eyes.
If it’s like this, humans should feel very close.
“Mm… let’s start acting. It’s been many years since I’ve seen humans. I must make sure people live happily.”
The girl nodded slightly and stepped forward.
