Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

When he woke up, the sky was still black. Jamie yawned and felt a little tired. He had been bumpy on the road these past few days.

Jamie yawned. Next to him, Imogen was curled up and sleeping. Jamie untied the rope and felt a little urgent to urinate. As soon as he stood up, the lights in the room turned on, and then the door opened automatically. Jamie was surprised. .

After going out to pee comfortably, Jamie shivered. It was too cold here. Jamie quickly returned to the house. At this time, a buzzing sound came from a small hole above the house. After a while, the house became hot. Getting up, Jamie looked at it with some surprise, because it was the same when he came here to sleep last night.

After a while there was a buzzing sound coming from the little hole, and the room warmed up.

"so amazing."

After a while, the room was already very hot. Jamie leaned comfortably on the soft cushions and looked at the dark sky outside, with a little light in the distance.

Jamie looked at it suspiciously. It was completely different from the bright light he had seen before. It looked a bit like a light, but over there was the sea. Jamie stared at it suspiciously for a long time, and found that the light was getting brighter and brighter. He stood up.

At this time, the door to the room was opened, and Jamie was startled.

"What's that, Fredo?"

"There's a small patch of hole over there, and you can get a little bit of sunlight this time of day until noon."

Jamie laughed happily.

"Can you take me to see Fredo?"

Fredo smiled and shook his head.

"There is a sea base of pygmy kangaroos there, which is inaccessible."

Jamie looked slightly disappointed, Fredo smiled and said.

"You can't get close, but you can go further away. Bring Imogen and follow me."

After a while, Jamie took Imogen and followed Fredo to the beach. Dave was already preparing in a small dock on the beach.

"It's better not to go past Fredo."

"It's okay, we won't get too close."

Jamie saw a ship, he carried Imogen on board, and Freddo sat at the front.

"Would you like to come along Dave."

Dave shook his head.

"Be careful Fredo, don't get discovered, this thing can interfere with the signal."

A round machine was thrown over, and Fredo said thank you.

The boat started to launch, and Jamie looked at the water with joy. The water did not look black, but without any color. Jamie stretched out his hand and paddled, and the cold feeling was immediately transmitted to the whole body.

It was Jamie's first time to feel the sea water. He happily took Imogen's hand and let her feel it too. Although some older people had heard that there was a sea in the world before, Jamie was still the first to feel it. See it for the first time, feel it for the first time.

"Where is the limit of the sea? Fredo."

Fredo grinned.

"I haven't seen it either, but the sea has no boundaries."

Jamie stood up in surprise. Fury slowed down and moved over little by little. Jamie was completely attracted by the dazzling light in the distance. This was the first time he saw such a scene. The sky all around was a different color than Jamie had ever seen before.

"It's great. I was very surprised when I saw it for the first time."

Jamie hummed, and Imogen stood up beside her. Jamie put his arm around her.

"Imogen, look, it's quite beautiful over there."

The boat stopped on the sea. Fredo looked at the signal coverage area on the crystal panel. They could no longer move forward. The light was getting brighter and brighter. The huge base built on an artificial island in the distance was completely bathed. Under the sun.

"How about it?"

Fredo asked. Jamie thought for a long time and couldn't describe this light in words. Although it was similar to the lights used by the kangaroos before, an indescribable excitement cloud lingered in his heart. He scratched his head and said.

"I don't know how it is, but I just think it's pretty good. It would be great if other places were like this."

"This is reality. The real world is not what we see in front of us."

Jamie hummed. Looking at the golden beam of light in front of him, Jamie was completely attracted. After Fredo sat down, he quietly observed the two children. Although Imogen was as dull as ever, she was completely I was attracted by this real and natural light.

This is the real color. Fredo still remembers the first time he came here with his parents when he was a child. When he saw this beam of light, he was completely unbelievable.

The kangaroos have cooperated to establish a sunlight research base here, and have successfully produced sunlight, but it is only a simulation at best. Fredo once went to the top of the light pillar to see that the real sun can burn through everything and illuminate everything. .

"What's on that Freddo?"

"It's a broader world, the universe."

Jamie nodded thoughtfully, Fredo knew that these concepts were currently incomprehensible to Jamie.

After a while, Jamie sat down with Imogen in his arms, and the two of them quietly admired the sunshine. However, Jamie soon discovered that the beam of light began to shift. He looked at Fredo in confusion and asked.

"what's up?"

"Because the planet we are on is revolving around the sun all the time, including the planet itself, which also rotates once a day."

Jamie's eyes widened, and his head seemed to be in knots for a moment. After Fredo manipulated the crystal screen for a while, a demonstration video appeared. Jamie looked at the picture above and laughed happily.

"That's how it turns."

Fredo hummed. Jamie looked at the crystal panel and then at the skewed sunlight, and seemed to understand.

"Fredo means that because the planet revolves around the sun, the light will deviate, right?"

Fredo hummed, and after continuing to watch for a while, the detector in Fredo's hand issued a warning, and he immediately turned the ship's bow.

"Okay Jamie we should go back."

Jamie looked back at the beam of light behind him, which was getting further and further away. Fredo increased his speed. After a while, the kung fu boat docked. Dave was sitting on a small chair and dozing off.

"How about it?"

After landing, Fredo asked, and Dave said yes.

"I'll take you over and have a look."

"Where are you going Freddo?"

Fredo smiled, took off his sunglasses and handed them to Jamie.

"Koko, take care of them both."

Dave looked at the two children thoughtfully and said.

"You don't need to go anywhere. Just talk when you are thirsty or hungry. Koko will know and will tell you where to eat and sleep. I have to take Fredo there to have a look."

Jamie hummed and pulled Imogen. He looked at his sunglasses and saw nothing, but at this moment a voice came.

If you are hungry, move forward.

Jamie hummed and walked with Imogen following Kou Kou's prompts.

"Put on this outfit Freddo."

Fredo nodded and quickly changed into a gray kangaroo military uniform and put on a helmet. Dave pressed his fingers on a module on the side of the one-piece military uniform, followed by a bright white light, and soon Dave modified the values ​​on the crystal screen on the other side.

"Okay Fredo, you are my personal bodyguard Johnny, do you understand?"

Fredo nodded, Dave led Fredo towards a shack, and soon a silver-white motorcycle appeared. This was the vehicle of the Western Gray Kangaroo Army. After Fredo rode on, Dave sat in the back.

After the motorcycle started, Fredo began to accelerate. This place is more than 40 kilometers away from Branch No. 0. Although it can be vaguely seen, the road on the seaside is difficult to walk. Although there is a ground fitting system, the motorcycle will adjust according to the ground conditions. With extremely subtle changes, it is possible to drive even in rough places, but there is still some bumpiness.

"Are you really going to take those two kids with you?"

Dave asked again, Fredo nodded, and Dave immediately said sternly.

"You should wake up, Fredo. Those two children don't know anything, and that girl is no different from a dead person. If you take them with you on the road, they will become a burden to you."

"Stop talking Dave, please make the traveling mecha wider enough to accommodate the three of us."

Dave's face was solemn, but in the end he could only nod. He had known Fredo for too long. Ever since Fredo entered the army, Dave had known this weird young man. The two had known each other for more than 15 years. Dave Knowing Fredo's temper, once a decision is made, there is no going back.

"I tested the grain compression technology you brought back last night. It's a very simple technology. I will start improving it to make it more suitable for long-term voyages."

Fredo hummed.

"Sorry Dave, please forgive my willfulness. The reason why I took those two children with me was because I was lonely, or I didn't want to leave any regrets. Brilliant City really exists."

Dave stared at Fredo suspiciously, and then Fredo told Dave about the strange dream he had before. The guys in the dream clearly said that the Brilliant City existed and that it was a city with a population of more than 40 million. Very large city.

"real or fake?"

"Well, so I have to take those two children with me, because we are aliens to humans."

Dave hummed and then said.

"If there are 40 million people, then the number is far more than twice that of our five major legions combined. It's really hard for me to believe."

Although Dave said this, he believed what Fredo said. The motorcycle was traveling quickly along the coast, and the No. 0 branch in the distance was getting closer and closer.

At around 2 p.m., Fredo stopped his motorcycle and a small metal door slowly opened.

"Dr. Dave, you're here again."

Dave hummed, and a team leader in charge of the gate greeted him cordially and glanced at Fredo.

"This is my bodyguard Johnny."

As Dave said, Fredo reached out and shook hands with the other person. Soon he passed the inspection and entered the city. The moment he entered, Fredo was stunned. The place far away should be near the coast. There are 20 giant arc-shaped buildings, occupying one-third of the city. The urban layout in the middle is very small, or a bit mini, because it is where the dwarf kangaroos live.

The tall urban buildings on the left are where gray kangaroos live. The entire No. 0 branch city is very lively. Dave said that food is delivered regularly from other branches. Most of the kangaroos living here are technicians and their families. .

Those 20 shipyard-like buildings are the submarine passages that lead directly to the seabed mines. Currently, only three are open, and several more are under construction. This approach is to avoid frequent activities on the sea and put those in the deep sea The monsters inside are attracted here.

Dave squatted directly on Fredo's shoulder and pointed to a place in the distance. Fredo could no longer identify the location of the old dock. Dave directed Fredo all the way through the dwarf kangaroos. In the residential area, Dave asked Fredo to stop when he came to the No. 3 submarine channel. This No. 3 submarine channel was the responsibility of Dave and his team.

Fredo looked inside and saw that there were many engineering mechas inside, including some engineering vehicles, as well as a large amount of materials. At present, the No. 3 submarine channel has not yet been officially opened. We have to wait for the submarine mine to be built ahead, and then Connect under the sea.

Dave got off Fredo's shoulders and led him all the way down. It looked like he was checking something. Dave greeted some engineers who were still inside, and after walking more than 400 meters with Fredo , Dave stopped and pointed to the wall on the left.

"The basement is right behind the wall. I drilled a hole directly from the ground of a research institute before, but the situation was not optimistic. I can only repair the hole now, otherwise it may collapse."

"How far is it from the underground research room?"

"About 10 meters."

Furuiduo looked solemn. It was obviously impossible to construct in such a place.

"Is there any way to close this section?"

Fredo asked, Dave looked at Fredo suspiciously, Fredo leaned down and whispered.

"You can use the excuse that there are problems with this section and need to be reinforced. We don't have to start from here, we can start from you. As long as we slowly bring everything out of the research room."

Dave thought for a while and then said.

"Then you'll have to do a little bit of sabotage."

"I'm good at this."

Fredo grinned and Dave hummed.

"But it's definitely not possible now."

Fredo hummed, and the two continued to discuss for a while before leaving No. 3 Undersea Channel.

"I'll go back first Dave."

Fredo said and Dave nodded. He had to go to the engineering institute. Looking at Fredo leaving, Dave closed his eyes. He always felt that something was wrong. If he took the two children with him, he might encounter dangers along the way. It's even more dangerous. If Fredo was alone, he should have a way to get there.

"Why are you always so disobedient, Fredo."

Dave slowly jumped to his feet.
