Calm down, calm down. Xia Fan told himself in his heart that if the shape of the five continents cannot be determined, it cannot be said that it must be the earth.
By the same token, the location you are currently in may not necessarily be the moon, or another star, or a man-made aircraft.
But even though his brain thought so, his sensibility kept his eyes fixed on the blue planet, unable to move an inch away.
"So beautiful" Li murmured from beside her.
She also noticed this unique hemisphere in the sky.
Yes, that is the color of home after all
The atmosphere forms its protective circle, allowing it to retain enough moisture while also suppressing the speed of the wind. The low-speed storm makes the clouds appear like snowflakes, and the vast sea reflects patches of blue. Compared with the monotonous red Mars and Saturn, which is always swept by super storms, the earth is both lively and peaceful. Just take a look at it from space. , you know that this star is anything but ordinary.
"What is that thing hanging in the sky?" Venerable Shengtian felt that his head was extremely confused, and he even had a little doubt about the world.
Half an hour ago, she was still outside Baiyao Mountain. The sun hanging high above her head meant that it was a good day. Even if she entered the cave, she would not feel anything unusual. After all, she had traveled between the two places many times. She was not interested in this trip. The road is extremely familiar.
However, everything changed because of Xia Fan's words.
She saw a break in the mountain.
Not only that, she also walked out of this gap and saw a completely different sky.
The sun disappeared without a trace, replaced by a blue sphere.
In any case, she could not connect this dead place with the world she was familiar with before.
"What you see are real stars." Xia Fan heard a hint of panic in her tone, and lowered his voice and said slowly, "Don't worry, it is actually the same thing as the stars you see at night, it's just that This time without the cover, you will see more clearly.”
"Ah!" Shan Hui exclaimed, "Is this the galaxy picture you mentioned in the textbook?"
Others also came to their senses, "It turns out that the stars in the sky are really round balls."
"What picture?" Only Li Mengyun looked confused.
"Things mentioned in school textbooks say that we actually live on a star. If we can get the right tools, we can also move from one star to another." Shan Hui explained .
Even the tengu are studying hard.
Xia Fan felt relieved and secretly said that it was very dangerous.
He originally thought that he lived on the earth, but because the concept of the earth requires the development of astronomy to a certain extent, he used the word "star" to refer to all stars. Now it seems that it was a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse, and he just got away with it. Otherwise, in the future, everyone will regard their current home as the earth, and this blue planet will have to change its name.
"It's a pity" Only Luo Qingqing felt a little sad at the scene.
Her eyesight could only capture the close-up view, but in the distance was the vortex of various auras, making it impossible to see the beautiful scenery that everyone was talking about.
And things like this will happen one after another in the future.
The price she paid was destined to be a lonely road.
Suddenly, Li put his arm around Luo Qingqing's shoulders, "Want to see it? I'll go back and draw it for you."
Luo Qingqing raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Can you still draw?"
"What's so difficult about this? Isn't it just a blue water ball and a vast expanse of dark night? I guarantee that it will be painted exactly the same for you!" Li said with a smile.
"Let me paint," Olina interjected. "I have also admired Eastern painting techniques, which are about meaning rather than form. In terms of realism, you still have to look at the oil paintings from the West Pole."
"Miss O, can you also draw?"
"I told you that my surname is not Ao. I graduated from a noble academy. Painting skills are just a regular course."
"Hey, let's each draw one, and then let Xia Fan see who draws like it."
"Do you want to challenge the West Pole painting method? Interesting, I accept the offer."
Looking at the two people who said each other, Luo Qingqing suddenly laughed out loud.
The road is costly, but it may not be too lonely to walk.
"Is this the place where those forerunners fled to?" Li Mengyun walked up to Xia Fan, seeming to be asking him, but also mumbling to herself, "Since the stars in the sky are all places to live, then Utopia is what this star looks like, right?"
"I don't know." Xia Fan hesitated for a while before replying.
Assuming that the star he is looking at is the earth, it also means that even the worst Gobi deserts and polar glaciers are a hundred times more habitable than the moon. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a paradise. And judging from the current situation, the earth's atmosphere remains intact and is still covered by the blue ocean. It does not look like it has suffered a huge disaster. If this is the case, then why do people move to the moon and do not want to return to the earth
Judging from the way the Forerunners restored the ecology on a remote planet and established such a large barrier area, their technology was enough to quickly travel between the earth and the moon. Even if a disaster cuts off the connection between the two parties, it is impossible that the long-distance communication will not be restored for a long time. It is just a matter of sending more satellites.
Wait, satellite!
Xia Fan suddenly realized something and ran forward.
"Wait, where are you going?" Li Mengyun caught up.
"I want to see what's going on above the "mountain"! "He replied while running.
The gravity here is obviously less than that of the inner world, and the body shaped by air intake day after day has not weakened due to leaving the familiar environment. He can jump nearly 20 meters with just one step, which is comparable to flying on the ground. . The lightweight protective suit also provides strong support for movement, allowing him to maintain body balance in a low-gravity environment that he is not yet familiar with.
In less than twenty breaths, he had already sprinted several hundred meters, and the high wall behind him was gradually revealed in front of him.
"Didi"
A harsh warning sound suddenly sounded from the helmet.
The screen on my wrist suddenly turned red, and the countdown jumped much faster. It had only been about ten minutes, but now it dropped below five.
Apparently strenuous exercise is accelerating oxygen consumption.
In addition, he lost part of his oxygen reserves in the previous test, resulting in him having the lowest countdown number among all the people.
"What happened? Your wrist is glowing red!" Lord Shengtian frowned. As a frequent visitor to the Patio Area, she had already noticed that the Forerunners liked to use red to indicate warning and green to indicate permission.
"It doesn't matter, there's enough time." Xia Fan jumped out nearly a hundred meters again, then turned around and looked up at the top of the high wall!
That is the boundary of the world in the true sense. It is this high wall that allows the ocean and life to survive and prevent it from being ravaged by the ruthless solar wind and eventually becoming the desolate and lonely appearance outside.
So its height is extremely amazing.
A conservative estimate is over several thousand meters.
After all, its interior must accommodate equally tall plateaus and peaks.
When standing under the boundary wall, their view behind them was completely blocked. No matter how they looked up, they could only see half of the sky, and the remaining half was the smooth and steep wall.
But now as the distance increased, Xia Fan was finally able to get a glimpse of the scene above the high wall.
The words of Lord Shengtian just now reminded him.
Since the Forerunners had the ability to build such a huge fortress, how could they not have all kinds of spacecraft and spaceports? Judging from the construction habits, these things are likely to be located in the sky of the world.
With the silver light reflected from the earth, he saw what he was looking for.
A long and thin straight line stretches straight from the ground to high altitude, and the other end of it is a circular orbit. From the horizontal size, these things are at least a hundred meters long, and together they are much larger than space facilities such as the space station!
It's just that their condition is slightly different from what Xia Fan expected.
Neither the thin lines nor the tracks continued too far. They seemed to have been rubbed by something and quickly became no longer regular. They could even be described as broken.
The closer he looked, the more Xia Fan felt a chill on his back.
There are countless metal debris floating around the track, but it is not easy to detect due to lighting problems. But after the brain mastered the discrimination skills, those dim reflections were spliced together one after another, becoming huge pieces of space junk.
At the top of the mountain is the cemetery.
