Chapter 22 When you stare
The rising sun in the distance is like a small red ball, looking a little pitiful.
The distance between the star is a little far away and the surface is a little cold. If it weren't for the protective cover above, it would be difficult for ordinary humans to live here.
Jing Jiu retracted his gaze and walked towards the city ahead, and then discovered the truth about the continuous mountain in the distance.
The sun rose a little higher, illuminating the cliffs of thousands of meters high in the mountain range. Something in it kept shining, just like the stars buried in the mountain, it was part of the earth's crust. It turned out that it was still on the second underground platform, and the real surface above the mountain range was.
A lot of information emerged in his consciousness.
When the sea of dark objects invades, the machines hidden in the side walls of the earth's crust will be activated, connected to each other, forming an extremely huge gravitational field.
The gravitational field and the transformed crust will provide the most powerful and strong protection to the underground world. The buildings on the surface will be completely abandoned, and if the residents do not have time to withdraw from the underground, they will be abandoned.
Decades ago, the Sea of Dark Things broke through the blockade of the Alliance fleet and came to the Star Gate Base, directly destroying 90% of the buildings on the surface, killing millions of people, and the underground world was without any loss.
In a sense, this is a fair way. The priestesses living on the surface and major government agencies have the most sunshine and the best scenery, and should also bear the greatest risks.
But as time goes by, many things are changing. The priestess tribe still lives on the surface, and many government agencies have moved to the second floor where comfort is not bad, but they have to be much safer, which is the land where Jing Jiu is now walking, and some agencies even want to move to the near laboratory where the core is taken.
Xingmen University also moved to the second floor after the disaster decades ago, called the Construction Branch. In fact, most of the managers, faculty, staff and students are now in the branch. The main school on the surface only leaves graduate students with responsibility for practicing and mecha departments.
The ground on the second floor is extremely vast, with more than ten hours of sufficient light every day, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. It can be said to be the best place for this planet.
Jing Jiu walked towards the city in the morning light, and saw many single buildings and small courtyards on both sides of the road. The courtyards were planted with natural lawns. It looked as if the artificial lawns were not as neat as the New Century College, but it was countless times more expensive.
The closer you are to the city, more and more people will see. Middle-aged people with big belly run on the road in the morning, and they will stop after not far away, and breathe a lot. There are children playing football on the grass, laughing and laughing.
The sun is still above the mountains far away, blocked by a thick crust. Most areas of the city are still in the dark, but their lighting is extremely developed.
The buildings in the city are much higher than those of the Neustralia College and underground blocks, and buildings with dozens or even hundreds of floors can be seen everywhere. However, compared with the towering buildings with thousands of stories high in the league star that he once watched on TV, those space cities connected to the ground through space elevators are very inconspicuous.
When ancient civilization transformed this planet, it hollowed out the mantle and built countless working platforms therein. Those platforms are where most humans live now. Due to space limitations, the buildings naturally cannot be too high.
Jing Jiu walked on the quiet street, looking at the women holding dogs, and middle-aged people watching the news with their hands slashing left and right in the air. There was no emotional change on the face covered by the hat. This place was indeed a little different from the underground block, but the difference was still not big, and there was no essential difference from the cities in Chaotian Continent.
The sun finally completely crossed the earth's crust and came to the top of the city, illuminating all the streets and windows, and the entire city slowly woke up.
Jing Jiu took the suspended train to the city center with his bracelet. Looking at the slightly undulating avenues and the houses hidden in the woods, he decided where to go first.
...
...
The Gabe Opera House is the largest and most famous opera house on Star Gate Planet. There are many operas performed every day. In the morning, well-dressed city residents gather here and pass through the passage below the pool and enter the opera house one after another.
Jing Jiu followed the crowd to the ticket checkout and reached out his handband to the sensor. With a beeping sound, a man in formal clothes came over and said respectfully: "Hello, VIP, please come here."
Today, there were many audiences in this opera, only a few VIP tickets were left, so he naturally chose it.
When he traveled to the world with Zhao in the twelfth lunar month, he understood the importance of money and the principle that expensive is always better than cheap.
The VIP's seat was indeed different. He leaned against the soft but supportive imitation leather seat. Looking at the actor singing passionately on the stage, he thought that if he could ascend at the age of ten, he should learn this craft.
This opera is adapted from a knight novel. The story itself is the common routine of family, country, and hatred. I love to part. But it is said that this knight novel is a existence rediscovered by the priestess from ancient civilizations. Therefore, there are naturally many sacred feelings in this world. It is obviously very interesting lines and plots. The audience did not laugh loudly, put their hands together, and had a pious feeling on their faces.
The acoustic design of the opera house is very perfect, much better than the TV audio of Zhong Lizi's house. He only heard three places that can 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 below the pool to the quieter across the street.
Opposite the street is the Star Gate Museum and several other buildings with a very design feel.
If you want to experience a civilization, a museum is of course the best choice. Although he has seen all the unearthed cultural relics online, what he saw with his own eyes is different.
The smell of sludge on those mechanical guns, the gasoline on those old cars, the tobacco on those paper books...he couldn't smell it but could feel it.
Of course he has a more important purpose here.
When he walked into the museum, he walked five times faster than ordinary visitors, and soon passed several exhibition rooms such as modern and modern, Starlink, without missing any details of the exhibition. Not long after, he came to the largest and most empty hall.
The hall displays exhibits of ancient civilizations... Of course, they are all imitated, and to be more precise, they are imagined.
All the remains of ancient civilization are in the hands of the priestesses. Not to mention museums, there are not many records in the hidden nets. It is obvious that the humans of the Galaxy Alliance have no understanding of the ancestors of ancient times and lack imagination. The exhibits are basically exaggerated and deformed by the contemporary technological level.
Jing Jiu saw this and naturally would not stop. He walked to the end of the hall, opened a wooden door, and walked down the stairs.
...
...
The third floor of the museum looks like an ordinary warehouse, without any anti-theft measures, nor does it have the thick wall-thick alloy doors commonly found in movies.
The lights at the stairs were very dim, and a piece stretched out into the dark warehouse, just illuminating Jing Jiu's figure.
He stood there, called out the map in the sea of consciousness, compared it with this warehouse, quickly determined the location, and his figure floated slightly and flew over.
It was a wooden shelf about three meters high, just lying in the corner casually.
Jing Jiu landed on the highest floor of the wooden frame, reached out to face the wall, and felt the composition details inside.
This is a very hard alloy wall. With its current strength, there is no problem breaking it, but it takes a little time and will alarm the monitoring system.
The monitoring system and control system of this hidden warehouse are both separate and have no network connection.
He didn't think about it for too long, and a sniffled sound, his fingertips had pierced into the wall. Titiciticitaka made a slight sound, and the monitoring system was already in a sluggish place where it could not be seen, and would only record the picture according to his idea. At the same time, the extremely complex thirty-six-axis lock password in the alloy wall was cracked and it began to unlock.
As soon as the wall was opened, he floated in and then stopped the opening of the wall.
Behind the alloy wall is a dry and empty space, with incandescent lights shining on all corners, just like a hospital operating room.
There is also a metal door inside, surrounded by a stronger high-polymer composite wall. There is nothing else on the metal door, no iris, fingerprints and identity authentication, and only one keyhole.
Humans living in the era of advanced technology know very well that this seemingly simple physical lock is a truly secure lock and do not need to worry about any data intrusion. Even the most powerful cloud ghost in the alliance cannot be opened.
Jing Jiu welcomed this understanding very much and aimed his finger at the keyhole.
I could only hear a very soft sound, like mercury pouring into an extremely complex passage.
A muffled sound came from the heavy alloy door, and the lock was opened.
He pushed open the door and walked in, and saw a cube about ten meters high.
The cube is made of transparent material, like a large square glass jar, where you can clearly see what is inside. The glass box contains countless soil, and there is an old and worn mecha in the soil. The surface is mottled and there is no patent leather, so you can't tell what color it used to be.
It is obvious that when this ancient mecha was discovered, it was in these soils. The Star Gate Museum or the government was worried that it would not be preserved well, so it would be transported here with the surrounding soil and then sealed and preserved.
This should be the remains of the ancient civilization.
Jing Jiu thought this way and walked to the huge glass box.
Compared with the glass box, his figure looks particularly 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 ancient mecha also looked at him silently.
