The Path Toward Heaven Chapter 22: When you stare
The morning sun in the distance is like a small red ball, looking a little pitiful.
The star is a little far away, and the surface is a bit cold. If it were not for the protective shield above, it would be more difficult for ordinary humans to live here.
Jing Jiu retracted his gaze and walked towards the city in front of him, and then discovered the truth about the mountain in the distance.
The sun rose higher, illuminating the cliffs of the mountain range thousands of meters high. I don’t know what things are shining incessantly, just like the stars buried in the mountains—that It was a part of the earth's crust. It turned out that he was still on the second underground platform, and the real surface above the mountain range.
A lot of information emerged in his consciousness.
When the sea of dark matter invades, the machines hidden in the side walls of the earth's crust will be activated and connected to each other to form a huge gravitational field.
The gravitational field and the transformed crust will provide the most powerful and solid protection to the underground world. The buildings on the surface will be completely abandoned. If the residents do not have time to withdraw to the underground, they will also be abandoned.
Decades ago, the Sea of Dark Matter broke through the blockade of the Alliance fleet and came to the Stargate base, directly destroying 90% of the buildings on the surface, killing millions of people, and the world underneath. No loss.
From a certain point of view, this is a fair approach. The priestesses and major government agencies who live on the surface have the most sunshine and the best scenery, and they should take the greatest risk.
But with the passage of time, many things are changing. The priestesses still live on the surface, and many government agencies have moved to the second floor, which is not badly comfortable but much safer, namely Jing Jiu. Some organizations even want to move to the laboratory near the location of the Earth’s core.
Star Gate University also moved to the second floor after the catastrophe decades ago. It is called the construction of a branch campus. In fact, most of the administrators, faculty, staff, and students are now in the branch campus. The main school only left the trainees and the mecha department with the responsibility of keeping the soil.
The ground on the second floor is extremely wide, with more than ten hours of sufficient light every day, and there is no need to worry about safety issues. It can be said to be the best place on this planet.
Jing Jiu walked towards the city facing the morning light. On both sides of the road, he saw many single buildings and small courtyards. The small courtyards were planted with natural lawns. Seeing that the artificial lawns of the Xinshi Academy were not neat, but It is countless times more expensive.
The closer you get to the city, the more people you see. Middle-aged people with big bellies are running in the morning on the road. If they can’t run far, they will stop, breathing for a while, and there are children kicking on the grass. The ball, cheers and laughter ceaselessly.
The morning sun is still on the top of the mountain far away, blocked a lot by the thick crust. Most areas of the city are still in darkness, but the self-illumination is extremely developed.
The buildings in the city are much taller than the New World College and the underground blocks. You can see dozens or even hundreds of buildings everywhere, but they are as high as thousands of tall buildings from the main star of the alliance he has watched on TV. Compared with those space cities connected to the ground by space elevators, they are very inconspicuous.
When the ancient civilization transformed this planet, it emptied the mantle and built countless working platforms. Those platforms are where most humans live now. Due to space constraints, buildings naturally cannot be too high.
Jing Jiu walked on a quiet street, watching the women holding the dogs, and the middle-aged people watching the news by flicking their hands in the air. There was no emotional change on the face covered by the hat—here and the underground street. The districts are indeed somewhat different, but the difference is still small, and there is no essential difference from the cities in Chaotian Continent.
The sun finally crossed the earth's crust completely and came to the top of the city, illuminating all the streets and windows, and the whole city slowly awakened.
Jing Jiu took the suspended train with his hand ring to the city center, looking at the slightly undulating avenue and the houses hidden in the woods, and decided where to go first.
……
……
The Gabe Opera House is the largest and most famous opera house on the Stargate planet. There are many operas on stage every day. In the morning, well-dressed city dwellers will gather here and go through the passage under the pool. Filed into the opera house.
Jing Jiu followed the crowd to the ticket gate, stretched out his wristband to the sensor, only heard a beep, a man in formal clothes walked over and said respectfully: "Hello VIP, please come here. ."
Today the opera has a large audience, and only a few VIP tickets are left, so he chose it naturally.
When traveling with Zhao Layue in the world, he understood the importance of money, and also understood that more expensive is better than cheaper.
The VIP seat is really different. He leaned in the soft but supportive faux leather seat and looked at the actor singing impassionedly on the stage. Learn the craft.
This opera is based on a knight, and the story itself is the kind of common routine-family and country hatred, separation of loved ones-but it is said that this knight was re-excavated by priestesses from ancient civilizations Existence, so naturally there are a lot of sacred feelings in this world. It is obviously a very interesting line and plot. The audience did not laugh out loud, their hands clasped their hands together, and there was a pious feeling on their faces.
The acoustic design of the opera house is very perfect, much better than the TV sound of Zhong Lizi's house. He only heard three points that could be improved.
……
……
After listening to the opera for ten minutes, he felt that he had collected enough knowledge and experience, so he left the Gabe Opera House and walked back from the passage under the pool again to a quieter street across the street.
Across the street is the Star Gate Museum and several other buildings with a sense of design.
If you want to experience a civilization, a museum is of course the best choice, although he has already seen the unearthed cultural relics on the Internet, and what he saw with his own eyes is different.
The smell of sludge on those mechanical branches, the smell of gasoline from those old-fashioned cars, the smell of tobacco remaining on those paper books... He couldn't smell it but could feel it.
Of course he came here for a more important purpose.
Walking into the museum, he walked at a speed five times faster than that of ordinary visitors, and quickly passed several exhibition rooms such as Modern and Xinglian, but did not miss any details of the exhibits. It didn't take long before he arrived in the hall with the largest area and the most empty space.
The exhibits in this hall are all exhibits from ancient civilizations...Of course they are all imitated, more accurately, they are imagined.
The remnants of ancient civilization are all in the hands of priestesses, not to mention museums, and there are not many records in the hidden net. Obviously, the humans of the Galaxy Alliance have no knowledge of the ancient ancestors and lack of imagination. The exhibits are basically exaggerated distortions of the contemporary technological level.
Jing Jiu saw this, and naturally wouldn't stay there. He walked to the end of the hall, opened a wooden door, and walked down the stairs.
……
……
The third floor underground of the museum looks like an ordinary warehouse, without any anti-theft measures, and there are no alloy doors that are as thick as walls, which are commonly seen in movies.
The light on the stairs was very dim, and a section stretched out into the dark warehouse just to illuminate Jing Jiu's figure.
Standing on the spot, he called up the map of the sea of knowledge and compared it with this warehouse. He quickly determined the location, and flew over.
It's a wooden stand with a height of about three meters, which is just lying in the corner casually.
Jing Jiu landed on the highest level of the wooden frame, reached out his hand against the wall, and felt the details of the composition inside.
This is a very hard alloy wall. With his current strength, of course there is no problem breaking it, but it takes a little bit of time and it will alarm the monitoring system.
The monitoring system and control system of this hidden warehouse are separate and not connected to the Internet.
He didn't think about it for too long, and with a soft snort, his fingertips had been pierced into the wall. There was a soft bang, and the monitoring system had fallen into a quagmire where it could not be seen. It would only record the picture according to his thoughts. At the same time, the extremely complicated 36-axis lock code in the alloy wall was pòjiě and began to unlock.
As soon as the wall opened a small slit, he floated in, and then stopped the opening of the wall.
Behind the alloy wall is a dry and empty space, with white lights shining on all corners, just like an operating room in a hospital.
There is also a metal door inside, surrounded by a stronger high-polymer composite wall. There is nothing else on the metal door, there is no iris, fingerprints, and identity authentication, only a keyhole.
Humans living in the age of advanced technology know very well that this seemingly simple physical lock is a truly secure lock. There is no need to worry about any data intrusion, even the most powerful cloud ghost in the alliance cannot open it.
Jing Jiu welcomes this recognition very much, and points his finger at the keyhole.
Only a very soft sound was heard, like mercury poured into a very complicated channel.
There was a muffled noise in the heavy alloy door, and the lock was opened.
He opened the door and walked in~IndoMTL.com~ and saw a cube about ten meters high.
The cube is made of transparent material, just like a big square glass jar, you can clearly see the contents inside. There are countless soils in the glass box, and there is an old and worn-out mecha in the soil. The surface is mottled, and there is no patent leather, and it is impossible to see what color it used to be.
Obviously, this ancient mecha was in the mud when it was discovered. The Star Gate Museum or the government was worried about the preservation of it, so it was transported here along with the surrounding mud and sealed for preservation.
——This should be the remains of that ancient civilization.
Thinking about this, Jing Jiu walked to the huge glass box.
Compared with the glass box, his figure is very small.
In the empty warehouse, this contrast is even more obvious.
He looked at the ancient mecha half-buried in the soil, and was silent for a long time.
The old mech looked at him in such silence. 8
