Chapter 722 The Top of the "Mountain"

Calm down, calm down... Xia Fan told himself in his heart that if the shape of the five continents cannot be determined, it cannot be said that it must be the earth.

Similarly, the place where he is now is not necessarily the moon, or another celestial body, or a man-made aircraft.

But even though his brain thought so, his sensibility made him stare at the blue planet, unable to move an inch away.

"So beautiful..." Li murmured beside him.

She also noticed this unique hemisphere in the sky.

Yes, that is the color of home after all...

The atmosphere constitutes its protective circle, allowing it to retain enough water and also suppress the speed of the wind. The low-speed storm makes the clouds appear like snowflakes, and the vast sea reflects pieces of blue. Compared with the monotonous red Mars and the Saturn that is always swept by super storms, the earth is both lively and quiet. As long as you take a look in space, you will know that this star is extraordinary.

"What on earth is hanging in the sky?" Venerable Shengtian felt extremely confused in his head, and even had a little doubt about this world.

Half an hour ago, she was still outside Baiyao Mountain. The sun hanging high above her head indicated that it was a good day today. Even if she entered the cave, she would not feel anything unusual - after all, she had traveled back and forth between the two places many times and was very familiar with this journey.

However, everything changed because of Xia Fan's words.

She saw the gap in the mountain.

Not only that, she also walked out of the gap and saw another completely different sky.

The sun disappeared without a trace, replaced by a blue sphere.

She couldn't connect this dead land with the familiar world before.

"What you see are real stars." Xia Fan heard a trace of panic in her tone, slowed down his speech and said slowly, "Don't worry, it is actually the same thing as the stars you see at night, but this time there is no cover, you will see it more clearly."

"Ah!" Shanhui exclaimed, "Is this the galaxy picture you mentioned in the textbook?"

Others also came back to their senses, "So that's it... The stars in the sky are actually spheres."

"What picture?" Only Li Mengyun looked confused.

"The things mentioned in the school textbooks say that we actually live on a star. If we can get the right tools, we can move from one star to another." Shanhui explained.

Even the Tengu are working hard to learn.

Xia Fan felt relieved and secretly said that it was a close call.

He originally thought that he lived on the earth, but because the concept of the earth needed astronomy to develop to a certain level before it appeared, he used the word star to refer to all celestial bodies. Now it seems that it was a blind cat that caught a dead mouse, and he got away with it. Otherwise, everyone will regard their current home as the earth in the future, and this blue planet will have to change its name.

"What a pity..." Only Luo Qingqing felt a little disappointed at the scene.

Her vision can only capture the near view, and in the distance is a vortex composed of various breaths, and she can't see the beautiful scenery that everyone is amazed at.

And such things will happen one after another in the future.

The price she paid is destined to be a lonely road.

Suddenly, Li put his arm around Luo Qingqing's shoulders, "Want to see it? I'll go back and draw it for you."

Luo Qingqing raised her eyebrows in surprise, "You... can also draw?"

"What's so difficult about this? It's just a blue water ball and a large piece of black night. I promise to draw it exactly the same for you!" Li said with a smile.

"Let me draw it," Olena interrupted, "I've also admired the painting skills of the East. It's about the meaning, not the form. If you want to talk about the degree of realism, you still have to look at the oil paintings of Xiji."

"Miss Ao, can you draw too?"

"I said my last name is not Ao... That's all. I graduated from the Academy of Nobles, and painting skills are just a regular course."

"Hey... Then let's each draw one, and then let Xia Fan see who draws more like it."

"Do you want to challenge the painting method of Xiji? Interesting, I accept this proposal."

Looking at the two people who were talking to each other, Luo Qingqing suddenly laughed out loud.

This road is a price, but it may not be too lonely to walk on it.

"That group of pioneers... are they fleeing to this place?" Li Mengyun walked up to Xia Fan, as if asking him or muttering to herself, "Since the stars in the sky are places to live, then the paradise must be the appearance of this star..."

"I... don't know." Xia Fan hesitated for a long time before replying.

Assuming that the star he was looking at was the Earth, it means that even the worst Gobi Desert and polar glaciers are a hundred times more habitable than the moon. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a paradise. And from the current situation, the Earth's atmosphere remains intact and is still covered by the blue ocean. It does not look like it has suffered a huge disaster. If so, why do people move to the moon to live instead of returning to Earth?

Judging from the fact that the pioneers restored the ecology on the remote planet and established such a large barrier zone, their technology is enough to quickly travel back and forth between the Earth and the Moon. Even if a disaster cuts off the connection between the two sides, it is impossible that long-distance communication will not be restored for a long time. It's just a matter of sending a few more satellites...

Wait, satellites!

Xia Fan suddenly realized something and ran forward.

"Wait, where are you going?" Li Mengyun caught up with him.

"I want to see what's happening above the "mountain"!" he replied while running.

The gravity here is obviously less than that in the inner world, and the body shaped by the air day after day has not weakened because of leaving the familiar environment. He can jump nearly 20 meters with almost any step, which is comparable to flying on the ground. The lightweight protective suit also provides strong movement support, allowing him to maintain body balance in the unfamiliar low-gravity environment.

In less than 20 breaths, he has already run hundreds of meters, and the high wall behind him is also revealed in front of him little by little.

"Ding--"

A harsh warning sound suddenly sounded in the helmet.

The screen on the wrist suddenly turned red, and the countdown was jumping much faster-just about ten minutes, but now it has dropped to less than five.

Obviously, intense exercise is accelerating oxygen consumption.

In addition, the previous experiment lost some oxygen reserves, resulting in him having the lowest countdown number among all people.

"What happened? Your wrist is glowing red!" said the Venerable Shengtian with a frown. As a frequent visitor to the patio area, she has seen that the pioneers like to use red to indicate warnings and green to indicate permission.

"It doesn't matter, there's enough time." Xia Fan rushed out nearly a hundred meters again, then turned around and looked up at the top of the high wall!

——That is the real border of the world. It is this high wall that allows the ocean and creatures to survive, so that they will not be ravaged by the ruthless solar wind and eventually become the desolate and cold appearance outside.

So its height is extremely amazing.

Conservative estimates are also more than several thousand meters.

After all, its interior has to accommodate equally tall plateaus and peaks.

When standing under the boundary wall, their vision behind them was completely blocked. No matter how they looked up, they could only see half of the sky, and the remaining half was a smooth and steep wall.

But now as the distance widened, Xia Fan was finally able to glimpse the scene above the high wall.

The words of the Venerable Shengtian just now reminded him.

Since the forerunners have the ability to build such a huge fortress, how could they be without various spacecraft and spaceports? Judging from the construction habits, these things are likely to be located above the world's sky.

With the help of the silver light reflected by the earth, he saw what he wanted to find.

A thin straight line stretched straight from the ground to the sky, and at the other end was a circular track - from the horizontal size, these things were at least a hundred meters in length, and when connected together, they were much larger than space facilities such as space stations!

But their condition was slightly different from what Xia Fan expected.

Neither the thin line nor the track extended too far, as if they had been rubbed by something, and soon became irregular, and could even be described as broken.

The closer Xia Fan looked, the colder he felt on his back.

There were countless metal debris floating around the track, but it was not easy to be found due to lighting problems. But after the brain mastered the skills of distinguishing, those dim reflections were pieced together one by one, becoming huge pieces of space junk.

At the top of the mountain was a cemetery.
