above the sky

Chapter 543 Ecology of the Sea of ​​Aurora (33)

Ian can fly, and in his previous life, he was used to riding on aerospace vehicles or rockets, and he had to ride in orbital space elevators several times a week.

But for the saucer-shaped aircraft, it was really the first time someone patted the shoulder on the road at night.

The core cockpit of the aircraft is at the height of the center, and the cylindrical space in the middle is the manned area, with two layers of fixed chairs, which can transport 50 people at a time.

It was evening in the imperial capital at this moment, but the whole city and even all the lower districts were brightly lit, people were buzzing with neon lights, and huge quantities of materials were being pumped in and out of factories and workshops throughout the night.

Ian overlooked this scene from the air. He stared at the huge and incomparably bright beam of light in the center of the imperial capital. The swirling light particles continuously created a layer of cloud and mist over the central sky of the imperial capital, but it was not a real cloud and mist, but too condensed. Some kind of luminous phenomenon that is a mixture of natural psionic field and source matter.

This cloud is like snow, and it is also like some kind of light with a substance. Even though the saucer-shaped aircraft quickly reached the altitude of [-] meters, the height is still inferior to the huge jet port of the imperial capital, and it has not entered the light mist. .

"It's beautiful."

Ian said softly, he has always liked this kind of thing, whether it is man-made or natural, this kind of grand and magnificent thing is so heart-wrenching.

But it is precisely this overly powerful technology and overly transcendent power that has caused the sentient beings of Terra to sink into their current situation.

It's just that Ian never thought that the current Tyra was an 'answer'.

It's just a formula, a question.

A complex, difficult question with an ultimate answer.

He will try to find the answer.An answer that satisfies most people.

Today, the boy is already at the height of the mountain. At this height, both the city and the human beings are incomparably insignificant... The rulers of this world stand in this kind of place overlooking all living beings.

They may not love people.

Inaiga II may be the strongest and the most radical, and also the one he loves the most, but the other fifth energy levels are not necessarily evil, they are all villains - all high-level powerhouses in this world must have a firm heart Have your own dreams and rules.

They are all in love, and they are all using another method to make their country and their people live better.

At least, it is getting stronger.

However, whether it is a strong person or an ordinary person, standing in such a place, standing at a height overlooking everything... At that time, what they think about may be what will happen thousands of years later.

The survival of Terra, the survival of civilization.

They can't see a person's happiness, don't know the meaning of a family's smile, and don't care about the survival of a city.

What they think about is the survival of mankind as a whole, how to deal with natural disasters, and how to maintain the fragile balance of the world.

And Ian knew that one day he would stand in that place and overlook the world.

The boy looked away.

— but definitely not just the top of the mountain.

He wants to stand higher, see farther, and perceive the subtleties of people, so that everyone can understand some lofty wishes...

Because, that's the only way...

"Only in this way can I fulfill my dream."

Ian whispered to himself, causing Shuangdie to stare at him with his head tilted. He stretched out his hand and touched the little goblin's head: "Don't worry, Shuangdie. You just stay behind for this operation, you don't need to come here."

Having said that, Ian sighed: "Actually, I was thinking, should I let you stay in the imperial capital...but that would be of no benefit."

The future silver mist reflected from Frost Butterfly was only produced when I went to the Avak region with Ian, and it would only be light blue in the imperial capital, without any change.

In any case, he couldn't give up the opportunity to make Frost Butterfly stronger—but Ian was also a little tangled, whether it was too dangerous for Frost Butterfly.

But she is a fairy after all.And Hua An and Mo Feng took care of them.

Unless it is in the void, otherwise, it is difficult to die.

In order to prevent being discovered, the pumice aircraft must be suspended at an altitude of about 5000 meters for a long time, and then quickly descend after reaching the western border, fly close to the ground, and then reach the Avak area.

During this process, the entire aircraft must remain silent.

The weapons Ian carried this time were still the original ones.Charged Water Gun, Steel Pattern Sword, Heavy Abyss Iron Sword and Void Armor.A box of medicine and various observation instruments.After all, he is only an alchemist on the surface, even if he is good at swordsmanship (everyone thinks it was taught by Viscount Grant), he will not bring too sophisticated weapons.

The saucer-shaped aircraft flashed across the sky, and it hardly existed from the surface. Even a sublimator could see a light spot flickering in the clouds at most, which was easily overlooked.

However, this is still not high.

Above the saucer-shaped aircraft, there is a rather gorgeous layer of 'light sea', which is probably Terra's ionosphere, in which there are a large number of psionic fields and natural source matter, but they are too violent and have no structure at all. It is not as convenient to absorb as the surface that has undergone biological transformation.

But if there is a way to use it, this may also be regarded as a rather large energy pool.

And in this huge energy pool, there is a certain kind of extremely huge living beings that are several tens of kilometers long.

For the first time, Ian was shocked.

But soon, he discovered that it was not a whole creature, but a collective composed of a large number of 'atmospheric plankton'.

These plankton that absorb the source quality of the sun in the ionosphere of Terra are the first layer of the Terra ecosystem to deal with the natural source quality, and they construct most of the source quality fragments into a system of source quality The structure, with the rain or the strong wind, sinks into the ecological circle, and can be used by all living beings.

Their settlements are gathered together, like some kind of whale, some kind of huge bird, or a winding snake... They emit a bright light stream like an aurora, and from time to time across the sky, it is extremely gorgeous .

"I heard that after the thunder-hunting jellyfish reaches the second energy level, they will float there by magnetic levitation and hunt those 'aurora mayflies'. It is precisely because they have such power to chase thunder and aurora that they are called Thunder-hunting jellyfish."

Hua An showed off her demeanor as an elf bachelor at this moment. She noticed Ian's gaze, so she explained to Ian very seriously: "At that time, the king of the mine-hunting jellyfish swarm, or the 'brain' ' will be truly born... that is the third-level behemoth known as the Aurora Devourer, the 'Thor Space Mother'."

"And Ian, your friend, Isengarde's bloodline of refining the dragon, the inheritance known as the Skystalker, also lives in this ecological cycle, and is one of the top predators .”

"That's how it is."

Ian was stunned, and he nodded seriously to express his thanks.

It seems that apart from the surface, Terra also has a fairly rich ecosystem in the atmosphere.

Because I have been studying alchemy recently, Ian didn't increase his knowledge. After all, the encyclopedic knowledge has a relatively low priority. If you want to know, you can ask other people, or let the silver chip identify it.

Here comes the question - who is the highest level ruler of this ecosystem?
Ian asked.

"Of course it's a real dragon."

Mo Feng spoke bluntly, and answered Ian's doubts: "The lairs of most real dragons are located in the orbit above the atmosphere, flying around Terra - but there are also types that like to build their lairs on the surface, such as Qianggang Dragons are one type, so are ice dragons, and there are also some sea dragons."

"But the wind and fire attributes, as well as some magnetoelectric dragons, all live in the void."

"True dragons are also top-level intelligent races. Like us goblins, they will not rashly participate in the disputes among the nations of Terra. And many ecological creatures derived from the true dragons as their core also live in the sea of ​​atmosphere. Dragon Island on the balance track is a very lively place."

"Balance orbit... I see. Is it a space eco-city, or a simple cluster of space islands?"

With such a heart, Ian raised his head and looked at the sky above his head... He suddenly felt that this world was really an unexpected danger, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really scary."

"But it's also surprisingly exciting."

I really want to go and see these strange scenery and see this dangerous and interesting world.

With such a feeling of worry or expectation, the pumice aircraft flew silently all the way, and soon arrived at the western border at night.

The saucer-shaped aircraft descended in a quiet wooded area, and slowly lowered the transport vehicle, making a slight bang.

And Ian and the others came to the edge of the Avak region.
