The flying boat is closed.
Pure white interior.
The light blue screens on both sides show what the outside world looks like.
Everyone's vision is getting higher and higher.
There is also a display above their heads, allowing them to see the distance to that city.
"How is it?" Lu Wen asked with a smile.
"A little excited." Lu Yang was honest.
He wasn't the only one excited.
Many people on the flying boat were excitedly communicating with each other.
Some are locals, while others come from outside to try their luck.
The floating city has been floating in the sky for so long that it has become somewhat deified. Many people yearn for the life in this city.
It didn't take long.
The flying boat rose to a sufficient height.
The appearance of this future city gradually appeared on the screen.
Many people's eyes widened.
The sight in front of me was far more than shocking.
"Oh My God… "
Lu Yang was almost lying on the screen beside him, wishing to take a look at it.
It was a huge transparent canopy.
Artificial sky.
It looks like it is made up of pieces of glass, covering the entire floating city below.
The crimson sunset reflected on the sky.
The psychedelic color is like a crystal embedded in the sky, which is dazzling.
Within the sky.
Four huge mechanical instruments floated.
It was like four eyes of gods looking down at the human world. Countless precision metal instruments were combined together to form a ring structure with a diameter of a thousand meters. Around the ring were stretched out huge mechanical arms tens of thousands long, which were slowly rotating.
"That's the Eye of God, the artificial sun!"
Someone had prepared in advance, recognized it, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
The flying boat arrived in front of the sky.
I saw layers of water-like ripples rising on the transparent sky.
The canopy door opened.
The flying boat passes through the gate.
Within this transparent canopy, there is actually a second canopy.
"The double-layered canopy is to control the air pressure!"
The four Eyes of God that everyone saw were between the two layers of sky.
This is a buffer zone.
Thousands of metal instruments fly between the two-layer sky, rotating around the entire floating city.
"Some of these instruments are used to monitor the city, and others are used to create weather."
The city's weather is completely man-made.
The inner transparent canopy glows with a faint blue light.
The flying boat moved forward slowly.
A glass-like transparent block on the sky curtain emitted a scanning light, scanning the entire spaceship.
Immediately afterwards, a mechanical female voice sounded in the flying boat.
"Blue Whale 0056, welcome back."
The inner sky curtain ripples with water-like patterns.
The passage to the floating city was opened to everyone.
As the flying boat slowly sailed inside, the whole city emerged in front of everyone.
The first thing that catches the eye is the strong color contrast.
White is the dominant color in this world.
Other colors are just to set off this noble and pure white.
Huge winding tracks criss-cross the sky, like a mythical earthly python, hovering in the sky.
The track is completely white.
It is flanked by light blue transparent glass barriers.
Hundreds of suspended cars are like tireless ants, driving rapidly on the track, with white lines flowing on their black bodies.
Countless flying vehicles came and went in the sky, shuttling freely.
Even some huge buildings are floating in the air.
"The Floating City is the brainchild of countless outstanding architects. Every inch of space in this city is the product of the blend of reality and art."
The robot on the flying boat spoke.
He is responsible for guiding everyone to visit these days.
"Now, please sit down and fasten your seat belts. The flying boat is about to accelerate."
The words just fell.
The spaceship accelerated violently, and raging flames spurted out from the rear.
The world around him instantly began to move backwards rapidly.
The airship drew an elegant arc in the sky, passed through floating buildings, and jumped over the arms of the mechanical giant.
Travel between splendor and fantasy, and swim under the blue and white sky.
Like a giant whale flying across the sky.
Surrounded by countless manned vehicles also flying under the dome.
This psychedelic city seems to exist in everyone's dream.
"It's worth it! This trip is really worth it."
Lu Yang murmured softly.
This city fulfilled all his fantasies.
"What we are about to arrive at is the Holy Cathedral."
The robot stood at the hatch.
This is a robot in the traditional sense. It has a silver-white appearance and a steel skeleton. It looks far away from humans.
The sky ends at this moment.
A huge humanoid building stood above the city, and countless flying vehicles shuttled around him.
The white robe hangs down on the ground, turning into an entrance to the ground.
A powerful arm stretched out, with criss-crossing steel forming blood vessels and meridians, and the palm of the hand was where the flying vehicle was parked.
This building is the sanctuary.
A place that records the history of the floating city.
The speed of the flying boat slowly slowed down, approaching the human-shaped building.
The closer you get, the more you can feel the grandeur and majesty of the building.
In comparison, the flying boat everyone was on looked smaller than a flying ant. Hundreds of large and small flying boats were docked in the giant's outstretched hand.
The flying boat slowly hovered at a docking position.
The hatch opens.
Soothing, peaceful and without any discomfort.
The air pressure outside is the same as on the ground, which is one of the functions of the double-layer canopy.
"Please come with me to visit and don't run around."
The robot was the first to get out of the airship.
Since Lu Yang entered earlier, he was sitting at the front among everyone.
He was a little excited, got up and came to the hatch, looking at the world outside.
"Go down, otherwise the people behind will have to wait." Lu Wen reminded.
"oh oh… "
Lu Yang took a deep breath to calm down.
He stepped on the steps outside the cabin door step by step and looked around.
This world of brilliant light and shadow is reflected in his pupils, like the brilliant future described in classical science fiction.
"Crack."
Lu Yang stepped on the ground.
Although it was very real, he still felt like he was dreaming.
A dream he often had when he was a child. At that time, he would sit on the roof of the dilapidated second floor every day and look up at this high-altitude city.
Now he finally came up.
"Everyone, please calm down. The church is a very sacred place and it is also the starting point of your journey."
Robot leads the team.
He asked everyone to stay as close as possible to facilitate cleaning.
"Cleaning? What cleaning?"
Everyone was a little confused.
But the robot didn't explain.
"There will be a total of three days this time. We will go to many places. I will explain to you the architectural style, humanities and arts, life benefits, etc. of the floating city."
On this thick arm is a wide road.
Standing on it and looking down, I feel deeply how insignificant I am.
At the end of the road is the entrance to the church.
The robot walked in front and said as he walked: "I know that what everyone is most concerned about is the quota for permanent residence. You don't have to worry about this. There is no limit on the quota. As long as your abilities can be recognized by the floating city, then you can stay. , become permanent residents of the floating city, including your descendants."
“When does the assessment of personal abilities begin?”
Someone asked aloud.
Many people are a little impatient.
They saw the bustling city.
This is a future city compiled from the dreams of countless people. Although they have only been in it for less than half an hour, they are all deeply fascinated by it.
"Don't worry, I will ask you to take a test tomorrow. I believe you are all very good people in the lower world." The robot said.
Nether
This word swirled in Lu Wen's mind for a moment.
It seems that when the engineers of this city were designing robots, they replaced the cities on the ground with the name "Netherworld".
It is indeed arrogance from the inside out.
There are many people on this wide road supported by huge arms.
Those are all residents of the floating city.
Most of these residents are dressed in white clothes, with relaxed expressions. No tension or anxiety can be seen. They live a relaxed life without any pressure.
"Mom, the clothes those people are wearing are so strange. There is red stuff on them. Is it blood?" a little girl asked her mother.
"Stay away from them, they are people from the lower world, don't be polluted by them."
The mother remembered that these days were the days when invitations were distributed.
The church was the first stop every time those people arrived, so she couldn't help but change her expression, and pulled her daughter away in a hurry, as if to avoid the plague.
See this.
Everyone's expressions were a bit unsightly.
This is no longer arrogance, it can be said to be insulting.
Before coming here, everyone had heard that the residents of the Floating City were quite arrogant and looked down upon the people below. However, only after coming here and feeling it for themselves did they understand that this arrogance was deeply rooted in their bones.
On the wide passage, many residents of the floating city saw their group.
"If the time is right, those are the people from the lower world."
"Sure enough, the book is right. The lower realms are full of vulgar barbarians, and they actually have blood stains on them."
Those scrutinizing glances looked weird.
It was as if he was looking at the dirty monster crawling out of the mud pit, with contempt and disgust.
"Is there a virus in my body? Do these people have brain problems?"
A strong man couldn't stand those looks anymore and couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.
"Brother, please keep your voice down."
Someone in the crowd comforted him.
After all, everyone wants to stay, so try to do as little as possible.
"Everyone, please follow closely and don't get separated, otherwise the deacon may think you are sneaking in and shoot you on the spot."
The robot reminded everyone as it walked.
Lu Wen stayed at the front of the team and said nothing.
He is observing his surroundings.
There is a quite interesting phenomenon.
Behind everyone followed a group of white cleaning robots.
The robots have been spraying disinfectant to cover the paths used by people.
