Heaven's Formula

"Xia Fan, Xia Fan! Wake up!"

Someone grabbed his shoulder and shook him twice.

Xia Fan's consciousness seemed to have just returned to reality from illusion, and the originally dead ears became noisy and chaotic, with Li's inquiry and the alarm buzzing more and more urgently.He glanced at the back of his hand, and the countdown number was less than 2 minutes.

It was probably because he was in a daze for too long, which made his companions feel that something was wrong.

He took a last look at the wreckage floating in the sky, turned his head and ran towards the high wall, "I'm fine, but the protective clothing is about to fail, we have to go back to the small room before!"

The moment the airtight door was closed and the green button was pressed, the number officially reset to zero.

Probably because of the surplus design, Xia Fan didn't feel hard to breathe immediately after returning to zero, but the breath in the helmet was obviously a little cloudy. After 1 minute, the green light went out, and he took the lead to take off his helmet and let out a sigh of relief.

"What happened to you just now? It seems like you suddenly lost your soul." Li Cai asked at this time.

The eyes of the others were also full of concern.

Xia Fan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

That's right, they don't have concepts such as spacecraft and spaceports in their minds, so they can't make any associations with the metal wreckage scattered in midair, which is a blind spot of cognition.To them, those faintly visible reflective objects are not much different from stars, they are all strange new world things.

What can he say?

A huge natural disaster?

The havoc wrought by war?

Or is the evacuation of people completely destroying the equipment that has been in disrepair?

In fact, he couldn't be sure what happened in the past, he only knew that the world seemed to be stable and orderly, but in fact it was full of dangers.

Creatures rely entirely on the protection of the high walls to survive in such a harsh environment.

But just like those wreckages, as long as there is a small gap, these thousands of meters of high walls may collapse in an instant.

"Go to the patio area." Venerable Shengtian suddenly said, "There may be the answer you need there."

Looking at the slightly surprised eyes of Li and the others, she turned around and opened the airtight interior door without explaining too much, and walked towards the special train.

Seeing now, Li Mengyun already understood one thing.

That is, the man in front of him does have information that others do not know, especially about the relics of the kingdom of heaven, perhaps more than what the Pope has heard.

The focus of her attention has never been removed from the other party's face along the way.

When he crossed the high wall and came to the dead land, he was surprised and solemn, but he was not at a loss.Know that when faced with something completely unknown, the most common reaction is not fear or shock, but confusion.This alone is enough to show that Xia Fan has a basic understanding of the situation in the new world.

That being the case, can the secrets of the courtyard area also be broken through in him?

In the past, Li Mengyun had always placed this hope on the Pope as the listener, but now she found that there might be other options.

Back to the position of the special train, the carriages are still parked in place, and the rescue team that was in the alarm has never been seen.

"How, did you find anything?" Gan, who stayed behind, asked.

"The harvest is not small, I will tell you later on the road." Xia Fan asked Shan Hui to put down the three corpses he was carrying, and leaned over to start groping.

"These people are..."

"Xia Fan said that they were the pioneers who built this place." Li Hui said, "Since we met by fate, we should take them back and bury them properly."

"Are they the seniors who couldn't escape?" Gan's expression became more solemn, "I didn't expect the corpses to be preserved until now."

Xia Fan naturally thought more.

He had noticed long ago that among the group of dead, the protective clothing of the three people was obviously much thicker than that of the passengers, and the colors were also different.If the protective clothing given to passengers is for emergency use, then their protective clothing is undoubtedly for long-term activities in exposed environments.This type of person is likely to be the staff of the courtyard and is responsible for the operation of the special train.For this reason, he asked Shan Hui to bring these people back to see if he could find anything useful.

As a result, after some searching, Xia Fan really found something useful.

For example, a recorder hanging on the chest, and a work record book in the waist storage bag.There is also an ID card in the notebook, which clearly shows the identity and position of the deceased.

"Liu Wu AS".

"First Class Crew Chief".

"Number 432175".

Regardless of whether this person is called Liu Wu or Liu Wu AS, the role of the ID card is real——Xia Fan tried to insert the card into the card slot next to the "wardrobe", and suddenly a new partition door opened at the front and back of the carriage. .All the way forward to the front of the car, everyone saw the cockpit for the first time.

"You really have so many tricks..." Li Mengyun couldn't help sighing.

She walked this traffic artery at least a dozen times, and she thought she was very familiar with it, but she didn't expect that there were so many ways in it, and today was an eye-opener.

"Could it be that the special train is also a large mechanism beast, and this is its console?" Luo raised his eyebrows lightly.

"You're right," Xia Fan nodded, "Even if something is smarter, people will always leave a window where they can directly intervene to deal with various unplanned situations."

"Then... do you know how to manipulate it?" Li asked curiously.

"Good question." Xia Fan licked his lips. Not to mention the buttons and instruments, this console only has one chair, which is as simple as a post-modern rough room.It seems that the carriage is not far away is the best display of technology, and this is where the core technology of the special train lies.Originally thinking that there might be a reset lever or start button or something that would allow him to interrupt the alarm and return the vehicle to normal, now he can only be a dead horse.

He tried to get in the seat and buckled up the seat belt.

At this moment, the cockpit suddenly became dark, as if all light sources were blocked.At the same time, the seat rose quickly, lifting him into the air.

"Legal life detected."

"Guiding in progress, please wait."

The familiar synthetic sound sounded again, but this time, the sound didn't appear in the ear, or directly in the mind.

Then, a huge and three-dimensional orbital model emerged from the darkness. It was so complicated, like a vast star map!

Xia Fan subconsciously looked down.

There was no chair under him, and Li and Luo Qingqing and others were not seen...even the wall of the cab disappeared without a trace.Everything he could see was pitch black, and he was floating in front of this complex orbital diagram.

He finally understood what methods people would use to manipulate everything after the technology developed to a certain level.

——"Consciousness" is the most intuitive manipulation program.

Chapter 763 The Well of Stars

There is no doubt that the huge deep well in the center of the model is the escape tower.

The area that Salvationism has not explored so far is fully presented on this map.Even though it was just a sketch, it was already rare information for them.

"Wait..." Xia Fan's eyes widened slightly. Isn't this escape tower too deep?If those layers of staggered tracks are regarded as a dense canopy, then it is like a huge trunk, topping the entire canopy above the head!Considering the ratio of the two, isn't this escape tower at least one or two thousand kilometers?

What is this concept?

The entire diameter of the moon is more than 3000 kilometers!

Although the moon is small, its core temperature can reach more than 1000 degrees. With the extremely high pressure, [-]% of the core material can still be molten. The difficulty of building a permanent project here is no less than that of repairing an elevator. go in space.

And he also noticed that there are straight traces of sections around the bottom of the tower—this usually means omission or segmentation in architectural drawings.

It is hard to imagine that such a large project was built just for escape.

The more Xia Fan looked at it, the more shocking he felt.

First of all, there is no one road leading to the courtyard area. Judging from the legend, there are more than ten tracks that have run in the east, west, north, south, and the distribution method is also very three-dimensional. Except for the special train they took, the following At least there are three track layers, and the deepest road can go directly to the central area of ​​the escape tower.

The second is that the living area of ​​the escape tower has as many as [-] floors. If it is just a platform for launching spacecraft, why are there so many living rooms?After all, the faster the escape, the better. People managed to pass the inspection and reach the escape tower, but they couldn't board the ship and take off immediately. Instead, they had to live in the tower for several weeks, watching other spaceships leave one by one. It's torture, it's strange to be able to live in peace!

But according to the outline drawing, it not only has living areas, but also shopping and entertainment areas, it looks like a functioning city!

Is it necessary to do this to escape?

Xia Fan shook his head, temporarily suppressing the doubts in his mind.

The top priority right now is to get everyone back to the patio, other issues can be worked on later.And since there are so many routes shown on the outline map, it would be a shame to listen to him not to explore them.

It's just that Xia Fan was a little hesitant when it came to specific operations.

There is no prompt in the whole system, and the human-computer interaction is really rough.

He tried to raise his hand and clicked on the patio area.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I realized it, several options popped up in front of my finger!

So that's it, this is the will control system... Because it can directly read thoughts, it doesn't need any guidance.As long as the controller expresses what he wants to do, it will automatically respond.

There happens to be an order to restart the car among these options.

Seeing this, Xia Fan was relieved.

He made a speaking gesture, and a phantom of a walkie-talkie appeared directly in his hand—"Everyone, please go back to your own compartment and make sure that the protective clothing is fully put on. The special train is about to go on the road again."

"This voice...is Xia Fan!?" Li and the others looked up in surprise.

From their point of view, Xia Fan was just lifted up by the seat, seemingly unchanged, but his voice replaced the woman before, and came directly from all around the carriage, which caught everyone by surprise.

"Xia Fan, are you talking?" Fox Demon couldn't help asking.

Xia Fan, who became the driver, also saw everyone on the stereo monitor. "That's right, I've already obtained control of the special train, you guys go back to the compartment first, we'll talk about everything later."

From entering the cave to the present, the unexpected situations that everyone has witnessed can be described as endless, and no amount of surprise will only leave numbness.This time they just looked at each other, then accepted the statement, and left the front of the car with a confused face.

Soon, the special train closed all the closed doors and set off again.

Half an hour later, it stopped firmly at the station on the upper level of the platform.

……

"So, didn't all the forerunners leave?" The Pope looked at the Aidi card in his hand and said in a solemn tone.The degree of sophistication of this card is really beyond imagination, it looks like a piece of paper, but the surface is smoother and more translucent than glass.The portraits printed on it are almost the same as real people, and every stroke of the font is clearly recognizable, and it is absolutely impossible for outside businessmen to imitate.

After staying here for so long, he has already become very aware of one of the characteristics of the ruins, that is, any seemingly ordinary thing, upon closer inspection, one will find its extraordinary.

"Yes." Li Mengyun nodded and replied, "And Xia Fan also discovered another underground passage, but it has been damaged and can no longer be used."

After Jinxia's group came to the courtyard area, they were not welcomed by the Salvation Church—for them who had lived here for a long time, Princess Qiguo was no different from outsiders, both of which were extra troubles that might bring evil infection.As for those high-ranking alchemists who once belonged to the Privy Council, they basically looked at them from the perspective of surveillance.Li Mengyun knew that before the situation became clear, it would be difficult to change this concept for a while, so she didn't immediately let Xia Fan participate in the exploration of the courtyard, but met the Pope and other venerables alone, intending to determine the ideas of the upper echelon first.

As long as the Pope has a detailed understanding of Jinxia and decides to cooperate with Her Highness the Princess, then other congregants will gradually accept Jinxia's intervention.

"..." Wu put down the card after being silent for a long time, "My prediction...is not necessarily correct, is it?"

"That's not what I meant." Li Mengyun said hastily, "It's just...the prophecy cannot express the situation at that time in detail and comprehensively. Since the number of heavens is limited, it is inevitable that some people did not catch up with the time to leave."

"Since I awakened, no matter how much I pray, I have never heard whispers from heaven." The pope's voice gradually became lower, "I sometimes think, if what I see does not represent the truth, then everyone What should I use to compensate for the price I paid...cough cough..."

A violent cough interrupted his voice.

He covered his mouth, and there was a slightly fishy rusty smell on his tongue.

"My lord, this discovery does not explain the error of the prophecy!" Venerable Qi Tian said loudly, "Isn't it because of your guidance that we finally determined the location of the kingdom of heaven?"

"In various historical records, I have never seen a listener who has awakened many times. Venerable Shengtian only mentioned this assumption. It does not mean that the man surnamed Xia must be correct." The voice of Venerable Pingtian As indifferent as ever, "I even think it is a mistake to contact Jinxia itself. Don't forget how unpredictable the methods of King Yong are. The independence and remoteness of this place itself is the best barrier."

Li Mengyun frowned slightly, and when she was about to say a few words, the Pope shook his head, signaling for everyone to be quiet for a while.

"Regardless of whether being in contact with Jinxia is good or bad, I am sure that the Salvation Cult still lacks some key elements in order to find the kingdom of heaven. It is precisely because of this consideration that I agree to the request of Venerable Shengtian." Everyone in the crowd couldn't see the dark red in their palms. "Since Venerable Li has returned, why don't you listen to what she has seen and heard along the way, and it's not too late for everyone to discuss it."

Speaking of this, Wu has changed into a relaxed tone, "Meng Yun... What do you think of Jinxia City?"

Chapter 764 Jin Xia's Appearance

What does Jinxia look like?

Li Mengyun swept across the crowd—in the huge room, only the candlesticks in the corner were emitting a dim yellow flame; besides her, the four venerables stood beside the Pope, and their uniform black robes looked monotonous and solemn.

It is not easy to get light in the courtyard, and candles are rare items. She didn't feel anything unusual before, but after returning from Jinxia, ​​a thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

"Bright."

"Bright?" The thing has straightened itself.

"Everything is bright there." She subconsciously replied, "it's the same at night. The long street is brightly lit, and every household can afford oil lamps and candles. They even take out gunpowder to make fireworks. Every night Let the local residents appreciate it, and the whole night sky is bright when it explodes."

"And it's not only the external objects that are bright, but also the people. The clothes are colorful and the styles are different. Their faces are very clear, and their eyes seem to be shining. I have traveled so many places, and I have never seen such a city. , it’s almost as if... as if..."

She pondered the last sentence for a long time.

Until Wuji answered, "Just like the scene you saw when you accepted the black gate?"

"...Yes." Li Mengyun nodded slightly.

Those scenes are not all related to the doomsday disaster, it also contains some fragments of the courtyard's past, countless people live here, and their eyes are like this.It is impossible for these residents to be all masters, but their mental state has no sense of sluggishness and numbness, as if happiness is always with them, which is also the origin of the title "Heaven".

This remark caused the other venerables to frown.

"What are you talking about? How can a mere Yancheng be compared to the Kingdom of Heaven?"

"Master Shengtian, I remember you came from Shangyuan City, right? Could it be that Qiguo's capital is not as good as a partial city under his rule?"

Some people even said bluntly, "The supplies here are indeed not rich enough, but we are the only ones who can be the saviors of the world. Mr. Li, you will not forget the oath of the year because of this trip, right? I hope you don't forget, the more content you are Where there is enjoyment, the ability to resist disaster is weaker."

"Okay, she's just talking about her own feelings. And I believe what Mengyun said, because she has been to Jinxia, ​​but you haven't." The Pope's words made others stunned, "But I want to hear something more specific After all, they came with the purpose of cooperation, right? Since we want to cooperate, we must know what benefits Jin Xia can give us, and what they hope to get from us."
