This world of ruins is indeed full of fascinating secrets. This world full of exploration and puzzle-solving elements made Qianqian, a lively girl, very excited, and made her decide to find out the information herself. For this grand goal, she has successfully cooperated with the local A lot of brats got together, and won the throne of the local kid king with countless naive games accumulated over the past 20 years. Now she is busy turning the rope with those brats...
Of course, I am also deeply curious about this world, but what I care about is definitely higher than Qianqian.
I want to know whether the fate of this universe 720,000 years ago and the earth far away in another world have intersected... Well, this sentence is literary, in fact, I just want to know whether Viska put the two One or two places have been turned over in one place, one is the ruined universe, and the other is the ancient civilization of Atlantis on Earth.
Seventy-two thousand years ago, Viska was happily destroying the civilization of Atlantis on the earth, fighting with a group of scientific research teams, and at the same time, her destruction army took place tragically in this universe The battle led to the destruction of a universe, and the wreckage of countless battleships even piled up into a star system. What is the connection between these two things
If anyone says that these two things have nothing to do with each other, I'm absolutely willing to throw a brick at my face.
I suddenly remembered a small detail that has been ignored for a long time: when we took Viska to discover the secrets of the barrier star, she found that the star destroyer weapon of the barrier star was still locked and ready to fire, which means At that time, its owner suddenly left the control console before an order could be issued, and he didn't even take care of the safety shutdown. After contacting the records in the Atlantis database, we can easily judge In the past, Viska left the solar system suddenly at the end of the extermination war against Atlantis, and it is precisely because of this that she left the earth with survivors who are used to spread ancient myths~
Otherwise, with this girl's terrifying fighting power and her ferocious army, after the earth's resistance forces collapsed, wouldn't it take a second longer to burn the entire planet into a mass of high-carbon matter
For the sudden departure of Viska back then, we have always attributed it to her madness, but looking at it now... ,
Could it be that the loss of battle in this universe at the same time forced her to give up her "game"
It's a pity that the person who should be the most qualified to answer this question is now more confused than us. Viska remembers things about her crazy years in a mess, as if she didn't notice the ghost on the top of her head after living on Earth for so long. The moon is her other body, and she has completely forgotten about the affairs of this universe. She doesn't even remember what battles her Destruction Legion fought, and she doesn't know where they suffered such exaggerated casualties. When she saw this After the emblem of her own army appeared in the small town, her first reaction was to draw a backgammon board on it with chalk. You said this girl is so weird, what else can I expect from her
Of course, another reason is that I am not willing to force Viska to recall what happened back then, after all, it was hard for her to get out of those dark histories.
The party in Condenser Town was actually quite boring, even Qianqian lost interest in playing with the children not long after they sang the hymn, but the townspeople who attended the party seemed very happy themselves. In this world with only ruins, people's lives are suppressed in an extremely monotonous state, especially the people at the bottom here go to the metal station to sort waste products, rough process the broken parts collected from all over the place, and then go back to Eating those tasteless synthetic foods and synthetic water at home, waking up to work the next day, this is what most ordinary people in this world do all their lives, and every time they rest for half a day and get together at night Singing hymns and exclaiming to each other about how wonderful the world is is the only entertainment they occasionally have in their spare time.
This is a very absurd picture for Sandora and me. In all fairness, we can hardly imagine a place with a gloomy future and a bumpy future than this ruined world. This dead space built on corpses is gloomy and depressing. People are desperate, but the natives living here think this world is so beautiful. They have long forgotten what the real world with sunshine and flowers looks like. Instead, they think that the endless piles of scrap metal around them are paradise...
Today is a rare time to relax in the town. In this world, even children have to work where they can, but today, they can relax completely and get sugar cookies. It is one of the most luxuries, at least for children, it is a supreme delicacy. I saw a group of little hairy children headed by Glick gathered together to rest after singing the hymn. Beside the middle-aged woman, the latter took out a lot of palm-sized white round cakes from a big bag and distributed them to the little ones.
Baby, eliciting bursts of joyful screams.
The old man named Barnard came straight here after finishing his work. It was very obvious that his target was me and Sandora, which made us both look at each other inexplicably.
"Singing hymns is always pleasant. It can make people forget the fatigue at work and remind them how beautiful this eternal world is." Standing in front of us with a faint smile, I turned to look at the children who were cheering, didn't I? "
Sandora and I didn't know what the old man meant, so we could only haha casually and perfunctorily.
"Glick has never been to the big city," Barnard said slowly, with an expressionless expression on his face, "he just saw the scene there from the screen in the town hall, and like many children, he was full of enthusiasm for the big city." It’s an unrealistic illusion, but in general, Ayutthaya is indeed the best place in the world... People from Ayutthaya are respected by many people.”
Barnard seemed to be chatting aimlessly, just like an ordinary old man who met a stranger he could talk to suddenly opened up the chatterbox, babbling about his old past Same, but even the dullest person should be able to see at this time that what the other party wants to talk about is obviously not just tourism and the scenery of the big city...
"The people from the big city have only appeared in this town less than ten times, and Glick has only seen them from a distance, so I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the people who really come from the big city..." Barnard Dongla After talking about it for a long time, just when Sandora and I were about to lose patience and prepare to interrupt each other, he finally got to the point, "It's impossible for you to say that you came here from the big city..., the people in the big city don't There will be this interest, no matter how much curiosity they have about the desolate area, they will at most take a look at it from a distance in an aircraft. Therefore, if they are curious about the desolate area and come to visit, it is as satisfying as Glick Children with fantasies will believe it."
Barnard finally expressed his doubts about us. Obviously, the other party did not believe our public identities. What he said was quite reasonable. After all, liking to observe ant nests and living in ant nests are indeed two different things. You just say this A visit to a small town of one or two hundred residents would fool children.
But even if there is a problem with our identity, Sandora and I have nothing to worry about. Originally, we just wanted to get in touch with the residents of this world and get a general understanding of the situation here. Those who know and know, it doesn’t matter to us whether our identity is “disclosed”, but it’s a pity, that kid Gehrig is actually quite likable, although sometimes his curiosity is a bit too strong, but his kind is struggling. The vigor honed in life is impressive, and his simplicity and warm heart are also a precious asset. There are not many children with such a solid eye these days. It is said that elementary school students start writing notes to each other in the third grade, and in the fifth grade. I know that gangs form gangs to rob girlfriends or boyfriends, and some people even dare to plan... to subvert the world at just 1.09 meters. You say how bad these days are. I was in the third grade of elementary school. But except for putting bugs in the bell-pen box of the girl at the back table, I have never done anything harmful...
"As expected of an old man, we didn't plan to keep it a secret for long." Since it was not a big deal to us, I readily admitted "I just said that to Glick because..."
"I know, he's just a child after all, and even the church will forgive children's sins—not to mention that he really doesn't know anything."
I was interrupted by Barnard in the middle of my words, and what he said made me, Sandora and my sister look at each other in blank dismay.
It seems that the situation is not the same as expected
Seeing that we didn't speak, Barnard thought we were waiting for him to continue, so he sighed: "Actually, I expected you to come more than ten days ago, but I didn't expect that it wasn't soldiers who came, but special detectives. Agent Well, I hope I'm not mistaken, but I think in this case, besides the military, the only people who come down are the detectives.
Glick's father was born and raised in this town, and he has always been our pride: it is a great thing that our small place that is not even considered a formal village can produce a spaceship technician, although it is said that he is only repairing pipelines . You know, Glick has always called himself "the son of the old Glick family". He thinks this is an honorary title. If the news is not true, I don't want to believe the big Glick who has been a hardworking worker all his life. To do something so risky..."
Sandora, my elder sister, and I continued to look at each other in blank dismay. This matter really unfolded.
Well, why would I say sure enough
"Since you are here, you must want to know about his father from Little Glick, but I can tell you right now, that kid really doesn't know anything." Barnard said after opening the box. Constantly, and probably trying to protect the little boy as much as possible, he offered to tell us everything he knew without even waiting for us to speak—this simple old man had already taken us for "agents" from the big city. In this dilapidated and absurd world of ruins, it is hard to say whether there is a so-called identity authentication system. Perhaps the luxurious clothes on our bodies and the lavishness of a "master craftsman" are enough to prove our identity, and the other party never thought of asking us for one. personal I.D. In fact, I just want to remind this old man: Have you ever seen a civil servant who travels on business with his family and a doll in his arms
Of course, I didn't remind him...
From Barnard's tone, it's not difficult to judge that Glick's father must have committed something outside, and it happened that we appeared again, so the old man in front of him mistook us for coming to investigate and collect evidence For people like Barnard who have lived at the bottom of society all their lives, it is a habit to be lenient in the face of "official errands": Big Glick hasn't been back to town for two years... He and here just use Contact for information. The last time little Glick received a message from his father was a few months ago. He only knew that his father had gone to work on a large warship, but he didn't know what kind of warship it was. So if you have anything to say, just ask me. "Well, well, tell me everything you know, what the hell did Glick's father do?" "I was stunned, and said weakly, where should you start this question? I don't even know what the legendary old Glick looks like, so I can only let the other party pick up what I know, but Ba Nader did not become suspicious because of this. He may have regarded this question as a routine inquiry, but just indicated that we followed him to find a quiet corner where no one would be disturbed.
"Glick, I mean little Glick's father, I watched him grow up." Mr. Barnard led us to sit down under a small shed in the corner of the square, where "Condensation The location of the only "bar" in Qiqi Town, of course, I keep a wait-and-see attitude towards what the so-called wine in this world looks like. I also know, so it’s okay to say it. It’s true that Little Glick’s father has always been interested in the end of the world. He wants to know what is beyond the sea of storms, and he has mentioned this deviant idea in front of everyone more than once.
At that time, no one cared about the wild thoughts of a little metal sorter. Even the church members who occasionally passed by to bless newborns would not take such outrageous things seriously. A coolie who knows nothing but tossing scrap metal will one day set foot on a spaceship
At the beginning, he just chatted with the driver of a cargo ship transporting scrap metal passing by here by chance. At that time, two small stations near this metal station were moved away, so the local scrap metal cargo ships all concentrated in this town. , the cargo ship pilots who come and go here will always rest in the town when the workers are loading and unloading things, and Glick usually likes to study aircraft. After going back and forth, he actually started to learn the energy supply of civil spaceships with that pilot. This is incredible. , We all know that all the energy in the world comes from the crystals and reactors left by ancient gods. Only the priest and the captain of the spaceship know how to distinguish those crystals. A spaceship pilot knows how to adjust the energy output of the crystal at most, but Glick Relying on the superficial knowledge he had learned, he actually learned how to repair energy pipelines, so when he [excitedly] announced to everyone one day that he was going to be an apprentice on a cargo spaceship, although many people I was stunned, but I was not surprised at all. ,...
"Get to the point." Seeing that Barnard would definitely digress as soon as he spoke, Sandora finally couldn't help but reminded him aloud.
At this time, Barnard finally remembered that he was still "cooperating with the investigation" and immediately rubbed his hands nervously: "Yes, anyway, that's how Glick became a crew member of the spaceship, but I don't know how he got on that ship Go, I only found out a few months ago that he was aboard the Hope and the captain of the Hope has always been a visionary trying to sail through a stormy sea, and I know you've been looking for a chance to shut him up. Of course, I support the church. Normal people are not interested in the opposite side of the Ocean of Storms, so when I heard that Glick boarded the "Hope", I wanted to remind him that he was playing with fire... But everything They were one step too late, they had already rushed towards the sea of storms, the last message on the radio said that they had been lost in the blue storm, Glick didn't know this yet... "
Hope! !
At this moment, Sandora and I jumped out from the somewhat boring listening state at the same time. Those three crucial words shocked people. The dramatic unfolding of the matter was so unexpected. We never expected that Barnard's After a lot of chatter, the eternal fear mothership that crashed on Mars was finally pulled out.
Glick's father, the metal sorter who had been away from home for two years and was said to be aboard the Grand Warship in recent months, turned out to be on the Hope...
However, this is really not good news.
My elder sister gently pinched the back of my hand, I turned my head and saw a glimmer of sadness in her eyes.
The Hope, the ark of the deviant who might have once dominated the world of ruins, has already turned into a twisted and burning metal wreckage in a distant alien world, and none of the occupants survived.
I remembered my sister's unintentional words: They are the Columbus of this world.
It's a pity that they didn't last until the day when the New World was discovered.
The church in this world should be the official power, and the huge super battleship "Hope" is undoubtedly an unstable element that makes the official power dare not act rashly. They dare to ignore the ban and explore the psionic storm several times. It means that I hold a huge ship that can be called absolute power in this universe. I don’t know how a group of deviant people got such a thing, but it is obvious that they capsized in the gutter in the end: the official statement is Lost in the psionic storm, but we all know that they were suddenly attacked by the super weapon of the church before they could enter the psionic storm area, and their shields were all red in an instant, forced to sail in the void, and finally failed to withstand the deadly void impact , the spaceship disintegrated and exploded
