The cover of the dormant cabin slid open without a sound, and Hao Renhu sat up from inside: "How is the situation now?"
The data terminal had previously moved the dormant cabin from the basement at home to the bridge of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace. Now Hao Ren saw the familiar scene of the spaceship control room when he opened his eyes. He saw a large holographic projection floating above the console in front of him, and a planet that was slowly falling into the sun was in the center of the screen. Lily next to him stretched out her hand and pulled him up from the dormant cabin: "Look for yourself, anyway, I have never seen such a spectacular sight in my life..."
Hao Ren came to the console and asked while adjusting the screen angle of the external monitor: "Where are we now?"
"Above the planet Zhuomu, 50,000 kilometers from the ground, on the plane of sunlight and the planet, you can clearly see the situation where the planet is lit by sunlight," the data terminal immediately replied, "Based on the current orbit of the planet. , it should have been gradually captured by the star two thousand years ago, and then experienced a slow descent for a full twenty centuries. Now everything on the surface of the planet has been burnt out, the temperature on the sun-facing side reaches thousands of degrees, and the crust Also melting and cracking extensively... the sun's gravity is tearing it apart, and it's probably going to have to be shredded first before being burned to ashes."
Hao Ren didn't say a word, but just watched the scene outside the spaceship with his brows tightly furrowed.
A young star about three times the mass of the sun is lighting up the space, and because of its close distance, its brilliant flaming corona occupies almost a third of the field of view of the outer monitor. At this distance, the brilliance of the sun can directly blind the eyes of most creatures, so the Giant Turtle Rock Platform opened a daylight filter to reduce the power of the sun's light. And in this boundless sea of flames, a small dark brown planet is falling towards the corona with a long tail flame.
The planet has long been unrecognizable. The sun has burned its surface and partially melted the rocky crust. The mountains, rivers, deep valleys and trenches that once existed on the planet are no longer discernible. Due to the softening and collapse of the crust, they are all stacked together. .
This is what Zhuom really looks like-although the reincarnations that Nolan has experienced can be called disasters, compared with what happened in the real world. That's not worth mentioning at all.
This is the truth: the "Droam" Nolan lives in is indeed a virtual world, and its reincarnations are nothing but scripts that take place in a large program. The real Zhuomu is in front of everyone. There is no trace of any human civilization on it, and the entire planet is slowly falling into the sun. Connecting these two points, Hao Ren thinks that the virtual world Nolan lives in should be something like a shelter. Its main body is probably a giant server buried deep in the planet, and human beings have become slaves in the server. Ghosts, hiding from the scorching sun of the real world in the virtual world.
As for the continuous "world reset" and the end of the world. There should be a problem with the server, or perhaps the deterioration of the disaster on the surface caused this failure, which caused the virtual world to restart continuously, and the "script" became worse and worse.
There's still a lot to explain about the whole process, but that's about as far as it seems known. Regarding whether the "server" really exists, Hao Ren thinks that he can investigate clearly as long as he enters the underground of the planet.
"The planet is still rotating, and it rotates once in 12 hours. During this process, the sun-facing side will quickly melt under the sunlight and emit a large amount of material, while the back-yang side will cool and solidify rapidly. When the first ray of sunlight rises on the second day , Those shells that have just solidified will produce continuous explosions that spread across the entire continent, and this process continues. It intensifies the disintegration process of the planet," the terminal released a holographic projection. The simulation evolves the continuous destruction process of this planet, "There are no human remains on the surface, but there should be something like a shelter hidden deep underground: a virtual world shelter, which may be some kind of server. sort of thing."
"Is there a suitable place to land?" Hao Ren frowned as he watched the thrilling scene in front of him. This scene was indeed much more exciting than most battlefields he had experienced.
"Honestly, it's not suitable anywhere. The surface of the planet is completely melted, and there are super high temperatures everywhere. The spacecraft itself is not afraid of this temperature. But it is not suitable for personnel to go out to work-your shield will be consumed quickly, and others' Life support collars can also run for a few hours at most."
Nangong Wuyue's tail stiffened from fright. She stared at the sea of flames all over her body stiffly: "Landlord... you don't plan to take people there, do you?!"
As an aquatic creature, it was a huge shock to her to see this scene where the flames scorched the earth and the sky and the earth dried up. At that time, the siren girl felt like she was starting to dehydrate like a salted fish.
"You can't just leave it alone, there are more than a billion people down here," Hao Ren tapped on the console, "Terminal, land on the back of the sun, choose the alternate day and night route, and try to get as many hours of work as possible. "
The Giant Turtle Rock Terrace caught up with Zhuo Mu's figure in the hot sun, and landed slowly on the part of the planet's surface that had just entered the night. In this position, the sun had just set on the horizon a few minutes ago, and the hellish day had ended, but the night that followed was not cool: the earth still maintained a high temperature of thousands of degrees, and the lava in many places had not had time to cool down. With criss-crossing rivers of lava and rocky steam vents that are still erupting, the environment is even harsher than a world inhabited by demons.
But this is already a rare "safe area". At least the sun cannot shine here, and without the illumination of that deadly star, everyone's shields can last longer.
After the data terminal controlled the landing of the spacecraft, it notified the surrounding situation: "The radar shows that there is a crack 300 meters ahead. It is very unusual to have a crack in such a crust. It may be the entrance of the shelter. The crack The scale is less than 100 meters, and the spaceship cannot enter, so you can only investigate by yourself."
Hao Ren checked the status of his shield, and then distributed an extra set of life-support collars to everyone who wanted to disembark with him. Due to the harsh environment this time, he only selected a few people in the team who were most able to withstand the harsh environment: Lily, Vivienne, and Yzaks and his daughter.
May and Elsa are sea monsters, and they are most afraid of dehydration. Nangong Sanba and Nangong Wudi are half-baked demon hunters. In this case, they are not strong enough, so they can only stand by on the spaceship.
"Put on both life-support collars. When the energy of the first collar is low, switch to the second one immediately. Don't worry about the energy." Hao Ren confessed to everyone, especially Lily, who was always unreliable. "With your physique, you can resist for a while after the energy of the collar is exhausted. Don't be brave, just teleport and withdraw, understand?"
Lily happily tied the collar around her neck while puffing out her chest confidently: "I know, isn't it just cowardice, I'm good at it."
Yzaks looked outside with a smile: "This place is quite suitable for our father and father - somehow it reminds me of my hometown. At that time, the place where I took a bath was similar to this place. Later, Elizabeth and I should be able to Explore a little further."
Hao Ren quickly reminded him: "Take it easy, when the sun rises is not the same concept as it is now, even demons can't hold high-energy particles."
"Roll" squatted next to the chair and watched everyone busy, and suddenly tugged at the corner of Hao Ren's clothes: "Big cat, are you going to take risks?"
Hao Ren hadn't noticed that this guy was there before (mainly because this stupid cat is too used to finding a corner cat), and at this moment he was taken aback: "Hey, why is she here too?"
The data terminal yelled: "Didn't you say that you want to pull out all the fighting power in the house to suppress the field! This machine still has Doudou, which is in the pot behind you, but she fell asleep again."
It was only then that Hao Ren remembered that he had indeed given such an order before. But now he only feels dizzy: at that time, he didn't know that Zhuo Mu's real situation was so thrilling. He thought that calling a few gold medal fighters and an armed spaceship would be enough to deal with the situation. hatred. But looking at the current situation... just "scroll" can be used not only for cats but also for hair
"Go away" snorted while grabbing at his master's clothes, obviously wanting to follow him out. Seeing this, Hao Ren pressed the cat girl's head: "You know Xiaoyugan, right?"
The cat girl immediately purred and nodded vigorously.
"Did you see the scene outside?" Hao Ren pointed to the scorching earth displayed on the holographic projection, "If you want to go out, if you are not careful, you will become drier than a small fish in an instant."
Sha Mao thought for a while, and very reservedly crawled under the chair to sleep.
Hao Ren led the team out of the spaceship. The moment he got outside, he seemed to feel a wave of heat rushing towards him.
However, this was just his illusion, the impression he had of the scene of the planet falling into the sun and the overflowing magma on the surrounding ground. The shield is well insulated from the heat outside, including the ground temperature transmitted from the feet. At least before the energy of the shield is exhausted, he doesn't need to use his body to resist this thousand-degree purgatory on earth.
Although he felt that his strengthened body should be able to carry it for a while. But he didn't intend to really try this sour feeling of drying human flesh.
After Elizabeth came to the ground, she jumped on the spot and shouted in surprise: "Wow! The ground is still soft!"
"After all, the sun has just passed, and the ground has not yet fully hardened." Lily analyzed professionally, and then unconsciously attracted attention by a touch of golden streamer on the horizon.
That's where the sunlight goes: Although the planet's atmosphere has burned dry, each sunburst causes a massive eruption of rocky vapor and other gases into the sky that move in sync with the diurnal line, forming a A huge wall of gas sweeping across the surface of the planet, like a lens, this wall of gas further magnifies the already huge corona, thus forming the golden streamer that covers the entire horizon in the distance.
Although it is essentially a high-temperature storm of two to three thousand degrees, it is still very beautiful when viewed from a distance.
Lily gazed at the streaming light formed by the corona for a while, and suddenly sighed softly. Hao Ren knew that this girl who was very artistic in her bones must have felt something again.
"The dog's eyes are blind."
Lily sighed. (to be continued~^~)
