Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1382 The universe is an onion...?
The roar of Exodus' engines gradually died down.

As the air pressure valve opened with a bang, a row of people wrapped in protective suits walked out of the spaceship one by one, and walked slowly while holding onto the rings on the outer wall of the spaceship, adapting to this new gravity environment little by little.

The place where the huge ring lay crouched was a desolate reddish-brown land, and on the arc-shaped horizon was the deep and absolute blackness of the universe.On the ground covered with sand and gravel, there are strips of shallow white sand dunes that seem to be stretched by the wind, like traces of brush splashes.There is no life, no brilliance here, but there is a barren and silent beauty.

It was hard for Lin Sanjiu to believe that the Queen Mother in "Shambhala" was standing under her feet.

According to Sbaan, the queen mother and her nerves are buried deep in the earth; as the celestial body itself grows larger day by day, the queen mother will also develop into a mature body.As someone who experienced Shambhala with him, Lin Sanjiu will never forget the scene in the cave—in her imagination, there are countless white strips sticking out around the core brain deep in the ground. Nerves tightly kneaded the dust and stone into a celestial body.

The queen mother can grow up, and the celestial body is its "flesh and blood".It can actively capture various substances in the universe and add them to its own "flesh and blood", so it does not need to spend a long time in the sense of the universe to grow step by step like a real planet.Judging by the standard of a planet, it is still very small in size; the mass is not large, so the gravity is not strong-everyone is not quite used to this gravitational environment. After eight people left for a while, Ji Shanqing ate a horse. lie.

Lin Sanjiu just took a puff from his nose, and Li Bao heard it from the internal communication of the protective suit.

"I'm going back!" he threatened.

It's pitiful to say, it's obviously a data body, as long as he abandons this body, he can travel through space at any time... Lin Sanjiu waved at him, and immediately forgot to go back with the gift bag, trying to catch up clumsily, but fell again wrestle.

Nvyue, Han Suiping and the other two evolutionaries all followed behind Ji Shanqing, walking harder than him; when they finally reached the place, Sibaan had to wait for a long time.There is a large stack of steel cables at his feet, and he is standing under the belly of Exodus - if you look at it from a distance, Exodus is now like a donut, with a circle of small feet standing on the ground, the belly and the ground The distance between them is just enough to stand one person.

"Everyone prepare the steel cables," Sparan ordered from the communication system, "Find a spaceship leg each, and fix one end of the steel cable on the leg."

This task itself is not worth mentioning, but Lin Sanjiu did not expect that when Li Baotangtang was a data body, wearing a heavy and bulky protective suit, she was so clumsy that it made people feel distressed-she finished her work, see After a few glances, he had no choice but to do his work again.

Next, Sibaan took out another long stick-shaped thing.Lin Sanjiu found that after putting on the white protective clothing, even Spa'an, who had always been stunning in appearance, couldn't help but look a little silly: especially when he stuck the stick into the ground, From a distance, it looks like a fat white mosquito is about to eat.

He didn't seem to notice it himself. After pulling it out, he walked over and handed the thing to Lin Sanjiu, saying, "Just like I did just now, after sticking it down a little bit, it can easily The earth made a passage out of the soil."

"Actually, I still don't quite understand what we are doing." Han Suiping grunted.

Since leaving the modern world, his spirit has gradually recovered; it's just that unlike Nuyue, he never mentions the modern world.Even when everyone sometimes talked about Maru Qingge who stayed on his own initiative, he usually didn't speak, as if he was planning to completely cut off that world.

"You will know soon." Sibaan was very patient. "After the tunnel is divided underground, everyone stretches the steel cable in... Yes, that's it, until the end."

Lin Sanjiu pushed the steel cable into the small round hole in the ground, letting it fall down the corridor.Now, one end of the steel cable was fixed on the spaceship, and the other end fell into the tunnel under the soil.

"I'll tell her now to grab these steel cables." Sibaan said softly, as if the Queen Mother was just a little girl.

"Ah?" Someone was confused and couldn't help asking, "Who?"

It was coming, Lin Sanjiu held one end of the wire rope with one hand, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.She was different from the other evolutionists present, she had seen the Queen Mother before, and she guessed what Sparan was going to do.

Sibaan, who was wearing a protective suit, turned around and turned his back to the crowd; the helmet communication system fell silent.But after a while, Lin Sanjiu felt the ground under his feet tremble slightly—it wasn't the swaying feeling during an earthquake, but more like something was going through the depths of the ground.

At Lin Sanjiu's feet, the steel cables that were originally soft and floppy on the ground were suddenly straightened by an underground force, tightly stretched between the spaceship and the ground, and even pulled Exodus to one side. There was a dull creaking sound.One after another, the steel cables jumped up one after another as if they suddenly had vitality, stretching straight in mid-air; just when everyone was in doubt, Sba'an's voice rang through the communicator: "The mission is completed!" , The Queen Mother's nervous system in the ground has already wrapped up the steel cable."

With the Queen Mother pulling on the ground, Exodus was firmly fixed to the ground.The gravitational force of this celestial body is not strong, Exodus here is only a few tons at most, and it is not as sinking as a truck on the earth; so on the way Sbaan and Ji Shanqing came, they fixed the spaceship like this After that, the queen mother will complete the next part of the journey.

Amidst the faint confusion, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but secretly startled.The purpose of fixing the spaceship is obviously to prevent the spaceship from being thrown off... But when navigating in a vacuum space where there is no wind or waves, what force can throw the spaceship off the celestial body?
Besides, there is no driving engine on the Queen Mother's body, so how can she move forward?

After everyone returned to Exodus, she returned to the control room with Libao and Sparan.Half of the walls of the room still show the scene ahead in real time: the reddish-brown earth, the sand dunes stretching all the way to the horizon, and a few distant stars in the dark space.

"After I received the signal from my sister that day, I found that it was not far from us." Ji Shanqing curled up in the chair, leaned his head on her shoulder, and said softly, "Follow the signal with Sibaan immediately. The source rushed to its launch site...but when it arrived, there was nothing in that space."

"Looked for the wrong place?" Lin Sanjiu immediately thought of this possibility.

"There is no mistake. At that time, all analysis methods can prove that the signal came from that empty void... However, in the surrounding area of ​​nearly [-] kilometers, there is not even a floating meteorite except the direction we came from. .”

When Ji Shanqing said this, he couldn't help but tremble a little - just think about it, and know how terrifying that moment was for him.

"Then...how did you find me?"

"It's a long story, the Queen Mother happened to be nearby at that time."

Siba'an, who was sitting in another chair in front of him, turned his head to continue the sentence, and replied: "Its volume and mass are still relatively small. If it is attracted by the planet's gravity, it may become a satellite. So generally speaking, it avoids getting too close to the planet, and when I landed in Exodus, it stayed in the far space.”

Out of the corner of Lin Sanjiu's eyes, she felt that the picture on the screen in front of her trembled slightly—when she glanced subconsciously, she didn't notice any difference from just now.

"We parked the spaceship on the surface of Queen Mother, and let it continue to go deep into the universe, looking for where you might be... When we were discussing what happened, the 'big flood' came." When Sibaan said this, he scratched his blond hair with his hands, looked back at the big screen and said, "Before we could react, the Queen Mother led us into the great flood on my own initiative. When the light of the great flood dissipated , we found that modern world in a place where there was nothing there just now."

Needless to say next.

"You were teleported by the great flood?" Lin Sanjiu suddenly understood, "So if we want to return to the doomsday world, we also need to rely on the great flood... Wait, did the screen image tremble just now? "

"That's right, Queen Mother can find the Great Flood..." Sba'an's voice was low and soft, "In other words, its way of movement contributed to the emergence of the Great Flood. Ji Shanqing explained this point better than me .”

"Sister," the gift bag didn't care about the trembling screen scene, but patiently explained: "Generally, spaceships are driven by a medium to move forward in the universe, and the medium is thin in a vacuum, so they need to carry a lot of fuel. The Queen Mother is essentially a living planet without an engine or fuel, so the way it moves forward is very interesting... I think it uses some means to make its surroundings an independent space, compressing the space in front of it, making it The rear space expands, and in this way, you 'fall' into the front space."

Lin Sanjiu always felt that he didn't have the imagination needed to understand physics, so he could only listen without saying a word.The image tremors on the screen became more and more frequent, but very slight: unlike the image jitter when the signal is poor, it seems that the universe in the field of view is constantly shrinking and expanding-at the same time, from the side of the screen In terms of coordinates, their positions in space are constantly moving forward.

"Its way of distorting space seems to easily lead to a big flood." Ji Shanqing also looked at the screen and said softly. "I've been thinking, essentially, what is the Great Flood?"

Lin Sanjiu stared at the screen and blinked.It was still dark in front of the planet, but she always had a vague feeling that something was brewing in the darkness... maybe brewing was not the correct term.

"It wasn't until we were sent into the Great Flood," Ji Shanqing still murmured, "that I finally understood the nature of the Great Flood. Sister, do you still remember what you saw in the meat world?" Is it a scene? It is the one you saw in the dimensional crack..."

Lin Sanjiu sat up straight and almost let the gift bag slip down.How could she not remember; at that time, the air and matter were rushing towards the crack at an extremely fast speed, and the strong wind seemed to blow away people's thinking.She has been suspecting that it is her own hallucination - why is there a small planet deep in the crack that was forcibly torn apart?

The queen mother seemed to be thrown up suddenly by some force, and the picture on the screen suddenly tilted; when Lin Sanjiu was almost thrown off the chair, she first held down the gift bag.When she sat down again, she raised her head again and found that the entire screen had gone black—in the control room where the lights were not turned on, she couldn't see her hands and fingers, and it almost made people feel confused about the sense of space.

"What's going on?" she asked in a low voice.

"The great flood and the crack are actually very similar in nature." Libao murmured, "Where the great flood and the crack appear, it means that the dimensions of space and time have all collapsed and disappeared at that point, and can no longer be observed To... In other words, the universe we are in has a hole."

Can the universe also "break holes"?
"What about after the hole?" Lin Sanjiu sat in the darkness and asked blankly.

"Just like what happened when I went to find you, we fell through the hole into another universe... You see."

Lin Sanjiu raised her head upon hearing this.At first, she still felt that all she could see was darkness; but soon she discovered that the big screen hadn't disappeared, and in the depths of the darkness it showed was floating a small, shiny speck of dust.Half a minute ago, the coordinates were clearly empty, but now there is an extra planet.

"We just fell from the cosmic hole formed by the great flood and fell into another universe." Li Bao said softly, "There should be another doomsday world ahead."

　I did some practical things, and finally sing go yan sh e fo sy (it seems that the writing is not quite right). All in all, you should be able to see that I am slowly filling the hole. The cracked planet in the meat world, after so long, finally Filled in. 1 down，129 to go
