Chapter 20, "Preliminary Investigation Report on Another World"
…Shortly, based on the information obtained so far, this different world that appeared behind the "Water Gate" in Hong Kong's Victoria Bay is undoubtedly a huge treasure—whether it is for China or even for all mankind All in all, that's the case.

According to the on-site investigation by scientific and technical personnel, generally speaking, the environment of the other world is very similar to that of the earth. The Arnus hill area behind the "gate" has a gravity value of 9.802, the oxygen content of the air is 21%, and the proportion of other components is similar to that of the earth. The gap in the atmosphere is also very small, and people on earth can breathe normally here.The air pressure measured locally is a standard atmospheric pressure, which is basically the same as the earth's sea level air pressure.Considering that this place is an inland mountain above sea level in the other world, it can be seen that the average air pressure in the other world should be slightly higher than that of the earth, but it is still completely within the tolerance range of ordinary people.

The radios, vehicle machinery, and electronic equipment carried by the advance team all functioned normally in the foreign world without any special problems.

At present, according to the local indigenous people, it is the late autumn season in the other world.The temperature in the Alnus Mountains in the Alien World is [-] to [-] degrees Celsius, and the intensity of the Sun in the Alien World (the temporary name for the unknown stars in the sky) is roughly equivalent to that of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in my country in the spring and autumn.

According to the standards of the earth, the expert team of the advance team preliminarily speculated that the Alnus Hill area is roughly in a subtropical climate. Although it is a mountainous area, the altitude is not very high. There are no alpine meadows where woody plants disappear on the snow-covered mountains, and dense forests grow from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.However, since it is not known whether the growth adaptability of exotic plants is hugely different from that of earth plants, and the indigenous people in this area know little about professional geographic data, the above speculation cannot be confirmed for the time being.

Before the completion of the Kowloon Waihai Dam, the area around Arnus Hill was soaked and washed by the seawater gushing out of the "gate" for a long time. As a result, the surface water sources were polluted and temporarily undrinkable.However, relying on the guidance of the local aborigines, our military scouts have found a stream that can be used as a water source on the hillside two kilometers away from the "gate". According to field tests, it can be directly drunk after simple filtration and disinfection.

As of the time of writing, the advance team has not arrived in the other world for 24 hours, and it is temporarily impossible to determine whether the rotation period and the length of day and night in the other world are basically the same as the earth, but judging from the current observation situation, even if there is a deviation, It should be quite small and negligible.However, there seems to be a certain time difference between the two sides of the "gate". The evidence is that it is around eight o'clock in Beijing, and the Alnus Hill in the other world enters dusk.

Although there are the above-mentioned small differences, according to the expert team, the probability of two such similar planets existing in the universe is really very small, as if they were naturally designed for human beings.Ordinary humans on earth can easily adapt to the natural environment of another world without protection.At any time, the country can send various personnel to other worlds on a large scale to conduct trade and development work, as well as conduct military operations.

In addition, most of the various animals and plants that the advance team has discovered in other worlds are very similar to the biosphere of the modern earth. difference.Most of the wild animals in the other world also look similar to the creatures on the earth, at least they can be divided into birds, mammals, reptiles, etc., at most, there are some genera and species that do not exist on the earth.In addition, as to whether these animals and plants can be eaten, further investigation and research are yet to be done.

It is worth noting that all kinds of domesticated livestock in the other world, such as donkeys, horses, dogs, etc., are almost exactly the same as the earth - from a group of aliens who fled to the mountains of Arnus and sought refuge from our army In our hands, we have obtained two donkeys (male), a dog (male) and a horse (female) from another world. From the appearance, they are no different from the same kind of creatures on the earth, and blood analysis does not show any difference. out of the ordinary.At present, the expert team is conducting genetic analysis on them, and requires the use of similar animals on the earth to try to conduct breeding experiments.For this reason, an official document had to be issued urgently, requisitioning a stallion (male) from the Hong Kong racecourse and four police dogs (female) from the police station, and it was necessary to collect the female donkey as a backup as soon as possible.In addition, although there are no real objects, according to the description of the indigenous people, there are also poultry and pets such as cats, cows, sheep, chickens, and ducks in this world.

Of course, the advance team also found many alien creatures that are completely different from the animals and plants on the earth, such as a strange mouse with a pair of small wings that can't fly, and a huge flame dragon that can breathe flames from its mouth. Orcs with animal ears and tails, elves with pointed ears, etc.In order to confirm whether the plants on the earth can adapt to exotic soils, the expert team has taken samples for analysis and research in many areas near the Arnus Hills, and collected soil that has not been polluted by seawater from a distance, and opened up a small nursery experimentally , try to grow fast-growing flowers and vegetables from the earth, if successful, it will be beneficial to the self-sufficiency of our country's dispatched personnel in other worlds.

Next, I will give a preliminary and brief description of the different world opposite the "gate" from several aspects for readers' reference.

[-]. Geography

According to the description of the local aborigines, there are also intelligence data collected by the two female traversers we rescued while wandering in other worlds. The basic terrain of the different world that the "gate" leads to is a complete continent, which the locals call the "Falmat Continent".The Farmat continent is surrounded by the ocean. There are several large islands in the southeast, a broken archipelago in the southwest, and another continent opposite the archipelago. It is said that it is extremely hot and humid, and it is basically in a barren state.As for whether there are other continents in more distant places, it is still unknown for the time being.

The entire Farmat continent has a north-south width of about [-] kilometers, and an east-to-west length of more than [-] kilometers. The total area is about the same as ****, but relatively speaking, the terrain is flatter and the climate is warmer moist.Deserts only account for less than one-tenth of the total area of ​​the entire continent, and the areas of plateaus and mountains are relatively small. The overall landforms are grasslands and forests, with vast plains and dense rivers, making development relatively easy.However, due to the backwardness of civilization in foreign countries, at least half of the land area of ​​the Farmat continent is still sleeping in the wilderness.

The "gate" that our army passed through is located in the south-central part of the Farmat continent, the core hinterland of the "civilized area" of the entire continent.The locals call it Arnus Hill, and respect it as a holy mountain, and pilgrims come to visit it from time to time.Within a thousand kilometers around Arnus Hill, more than half of the prosperous cities and at least one-third of the population of the entire continent are concentrated, which is roughly equivalent to the "Central Plains" in ancient Chinese concepts.

However, within a hundred miles around Arnus Hill, although the vegetation coverage rate is high, due to the barren land and lack of surface water sources, it is not suitable for farming. On the contrary, the population is very sparse, forming a civilized city. Surrounded by desolate areas.

The Arnus Hill itself, known as the holy mountain, is said to have no permanent residents. The nearest village is located at the foot of the Romanian Mountains 100 kilometers away. However, these villages are either destroyed by floods or slaughtered by Yanlong. It became a no-man's land.The foreign city closest to the "gate" is located more than [-] kilometers to the northwest. It is called "Itarica" ​​and is the hereditary territory of a nobleman.About [-] kilometers to the northeast of the "gate", on the other side of the Romanian mountains, is the political center of the entire Farmat continent, the imperial capital of Ula Bianca.

PS: I have been running around for a whole day today, and I didn’t come home until after nine o’clock. I hurried to get out of this point. In order to keep updating, I had to send it out first.

In addition, to answer a reader's question, it is about "Where Should We Go Through Time: Japan Chapter", why is it said that in the Heian era, Kyoto was the only big city in Japan-the reader thinks that since the capital was moved to Heian-kyo (Kyoto) before , Japan still has several old capitals such as Heijo-kyo and Nara, so in the Heian period, several cities should have coexisted, and there would not be only one Heian-kyo, which is still decent.

My answer is that the relocation of the capital in ancient China and the relocation of the capital in ancient Japan are not the same concept.In China, Ming Chengzu moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing, but took away courtiers and royal families, and Nanjing is still a densely populated city.However, in Japan during the Heian period, due to low productivity, small population, and lack of wealth, every time the capital was moved, they could not wait to dig three feet. Not only did they have to remove almost all the citizens of the city, but even the pillars of the palace, The tiles and beams have to be dismantled and tried to be transported to the new city to be erected again.As a result, during modern archaeology, the Japanese often find that the tiles, stone piers and pillars used in a certain palace are hundreds of years older than the palace itself...Heiankyo used the pillars of Narakyo, and Narakyo I also used Namba-kyo tiles and moved them around each other, which is really a miser.

Therefore, after Emperor Huanwu moved the capital to Heian-kyo, the citizens of Nara were all moved to Kyoto, and even the palaces and houses were demolished, leaving only ruins, which became wasteland after a few years of wind and rain—this kind of The relocation of the capital is more similar to Pan Geng's relocation to Yin in the Shang Dynasty of China. It belongs to the relocation of the whole country, and it is not just a move of the royal family.So in the Heian period, there were basically only a few Buddhist temples left in the old capital of Nara, a religious holy place similar to Mount Wutai, but it was not a prosperous city, not even a trading port on Kyushu Island like Dazaifu.
