The energy turbulence caused by the forced crossing of time and space finally subsided, and the various sets of sensors on the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace began to restart according to the programmed settings. As the external monitors resumed work, the scene outside the spacecraft was also presented to everyone. .
Hao Ren ordered Nolan to switch to viewing mode, and half of the wall on the bridge was instantly covered by the real-time video. This scene was like the spaceship suddenly becoming transparent. On the real-time video, what everyone saw was a piece of clarity. A bright clear sky, and a sea of clouds in the distance.
The spaceship appears to be hovering high in the sky.
Nolan adjusted the angle of the external monitor to show the situation below the spacecraft. Hao Ren looked down and saw the mountains rolling up and down on the ground below. There was a narrow stretch of land between the two snow-covered mountains. The plain is dotted with rivers and lakes, and some urban and rural buildings are scattered on the plain, as if the green carpet is dotted with colorful gems.
"It's really... an unexpected 'dark realm'..." Looking at this vibrant and peaceful (at least on the surface) world, everyone was silent for a long time, and finally Vivian opened her mouth to break Silence, "We really didn't come to the wrong place?"
In fact, Hao Ren was also thinking about this question at this time: Maybe Raven 12345 slipped his hand when tossing the beacon, and got him the coordinates of which world he doesn't know to come here to fool people? Could this be the dark realm? !
How did the dark realm come about? That was the result of the Great Explosion of the Kingdom of God! The entire founding star and all the divine power of the goddess of creation were compressed together and then exploded, directly tearing the order structure of the universe, throwing an entire galaxy out of the order world, and getting stuck in the gap between the world and the void. After leaving the Dark Realm, how could such a birth process that sounds like a life-threatening process leave behind such a peaceful world that looks like a paradise? In fact, an impact on that scale would tear apart even a star, let alone an ecosystem. Originally, Hao Ren's best expectation for this place was a fragmented cosmic space, various large and small star wreckages floating in the space, and the space between the star wreckages was blocking extremely dangerous space cracks and energy turbulence. After the female driver flies in, she has to struggle for two hours to find a parking space - this is the dark area!
However, the data will not lie, and Nolan quickly completed the analysis of the beacon: "There is no mistake, this is indeed a dark field—we are already at the edge of the order area of the dream plane, and the current position is the world barrier and the void." In the 'Chaos Zone' at the junction, the remaining protective power of the barrier prevents this area from being swallowed up by the void, but a strong void signal can still be detected, and this signal cannot be wrong."
"Damn it, it's not dark at all..." Hao Ren muttered, "Fortunately, I even replenished the arsenal."
Lily also muttered: "I thought my battle armor would come in handy."
"Stop being so full of violent thoughts, you two, there are two legions outside waiting for us to send a signal," Nolan said helplessly, "Are you still using broadcast beacons now? Landing and settling down and broadcasting the signal, now... this place is far safer than I thought."
Hao Ren frowned and glanced at the scene outside. Some kind of intuition made him feel that there was something wrong with this lively place. Hearing what Nolan said, he shook his head slightly: "No, don't broadcast yet. Signal... The situation is different from what we expected. We need to collect some information before proceeding to the next step. Nolan, let’s increase the altitude first, and let’s go to the universe to see what’s going on here—by the way, observe the planet under our feet. Panorama, maybe you can find some traces left when the Kingdom of God collapsed."
Nolan nodded: "Nolan understands, start climbing, the goal is outer space."
The conventional propulsion engine of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace was activated, and the invisible spaceship began to slowly increase its altitude and headed out of the atmosphere, but Nolan stopped suddenly after continuing to climb for a certain distance.
"Can't continue to climb," Miss Jianniang's face was full of confusion, "I was stopped by some abnormal phenomenon... Strange, I have obviously increased the thrust of the engine, but the altitude of the spacecraft has not actually changed... We are still in the atmosphere !"
"There's no way to get out of the atmosphere?!" Hao Ren's eyes widened, and at the same time, a thought flashed in his mind: Sure enough, this seemingly vibrant world is very abnormal!
Nolan has already turned on various sensors quickly at this time: "Comprehensive environmental analysis is being carried out... Strangely, the data sent back by the sensors is normal, there is no abnormal space folding, no gravitational interference, and no camouflaged signals. In short, there is nothing wrong Nowhere, but we just can't get out of the atmosphere - after a certain altitude the 'altitude' value seems to be locked!"
This sudden abnormal situation woke everyone up from the short-term ease of mind before, realizing that this place really hides weirdness, everyone's face became serious, and Y'zaks asked the most crucial question Question: "Is the jump engine still available?"
"I'll try to activate it," Nolan said quickly, "...the jump engine can still be activated, and the beacon is still working normally, and there is no problem in reverse analyzing the data of the starting coordinates. From the current point of view, it should be able to It's useful, but I can't guarantee that there will be no problems after the jump is actually activated. Do you want to try to get out of here?"
"Don't start the jump, unless you really have to run away," Hao Ren stopped Nolan from making further attempts, "This world is weird, don't do it before you figure out what is preventing us from leaving." Make more provocations here. Nolan, descend, let's go to the surface."
Since there is no way to leave the atmosphere from above, we have to find a way from the surface. It is always right to collect information at this time.
The spaceship lowered its altitude again. As the altitude continued to drop, the man-made buildings on the narrow plain became clearer, and soon the details could be seen clearly with the naked eye. In some buildings with distinctive features, Hao Ren saw some shadows of the Middle Ages: large houses were built with rocks and some kind of primitive concrete, with complicated roofs and various exterior decorations that were more decorative than practical. The small houses are mostly wood and stone mixed structures, usually no more than two floors. The structure of most settlements is very simple and lacks planning, with a few large buildings and squares as the center, surrounded by a circle of low-rise civilian areas, and fields or pastures outside. From the analysis of the existing characteristics, the development level of this world may not exceed that of the end of the middle ages on earth.
But considering the extraordinary power that may exist here, it is not too reckless to judge.
To collect information about this world, it is of course necessary to deal with the aborigines here—although a paradise pops up suddenly in a place like "Dark Realm", and the fact that there are aborigines in the paradise itself is enough to make people Be vigilant, but now that it's all there, it can't be ignored. Hao Ren ordered Nolan to approach the human settlement (it was the largest city on the plain) on the edge of the plain with the mountains behind it, and then released the probe.
Scenes from the streets of the local city were quickly transmitted to the holographic projection on the bridge.
Lily stared with her ears in a daze, and sighed while watching: "This is really a lively place... There are a lot of people on the street."
"If you didn't see it with your own eyes, who would believe that this is the 'Dark Realm'?" Nangong Sanba shook his head, "I can't see the scene after the explosion of the Kingdom of God at all. Could it be that this is the place where the Kingdom of God fell into the Dark Realm? A remote planet that was innocently involved in the process? Because it was only involved, so it didn't suffer much damage?"
"The power of the explosion in the Kingdom of God is extraordinary. Even if it is just involved, it is impossible to be safe. For the fragile ecosystem, even if it is only received by the star's irradiation angle by two or three degrees, it is enough to cause mass extinction," Hao Ren shook At the same time, he was paying attention to the words, deeds and clothing styles of the local residents, "Interesting... not all of them are human, there are all races."
"I don't seem to need to hide my ears and tail!" Lily suddenly pointed happily at the holographic projection, "Look, a werewolf!"
On the screen sent back by the probe, you can see all kinds of passers-by walking through the streets and alleys. Among them are not only the most common human beings, but also other races with distinctive alien characteristics. The werewolves Lily saw were just One of them, Vivienne, soon discovered more "heterogeneous": "There are also creatures like lizards. Is this... a cat person? In this way, you can even get out of here without hesitation."
"Not only is there a stable planet with an ecosystem—let's say it's a planet, but this place is also a 'Xanadu' where multiple races coexist?" Hao Ren showed an interested expression, "Well, although this place is somewhat weird, but It's better than plunging headlong into the energy storm that shattered the Kingdom of God. Nolan, arrange to produce a batch of local clothes, and we're ready to land."
Miss Jianniang nodded: "Understood, but what am I going to do next?"
"You stay invisible and follow us at high altitude, and act as our support officer," Hao Ren said, "but don't get too close—it's a place with the Goddess of Creation after all, if any relics from the Age of God react to you, It's not easy."
"clear."
After some preparations, Hao Ren and his party changed into local costumes, and finally stepped into this mysterious and strange "Xanadu" down-to-earth.
Considering that it is difficult for strange faces that suddenly appear to blend into the local environment 100% without violation, the group did not choose the clothes that looked like the daily clothes of the residents, but chose some kind of clothes after analyzing a large number of samples with probes. Looks like "Traveler". This kind of traveler is not uncommon in the local area. Judging from some of their words and deeds, this should be a special group similar to mercenaries or travelers (adventurers). With this identity as a cover, the next action may be easier .
