Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 26 Night in the Star Realm

This hotel is not big, only three floors.

Ji Xinghuo walked to the balcony outside the room, and he could see the streets dozens of meters away, bustling with people coming and going.

Looking into the distance, only a small part of the city of Olympia can be seen.

This city is the center of the earth in the astral world. At the beginning of the city, it was managed by the "Astral Defense Council (ADC)". However, in the following decades, the ADC gradually lost power, and the global geopolitical structure became disputed again. It gradually evolved into today's "two super and two strong" multipolar world.

The sovereignty of Olympia city simultaneously reflects the political ecology of the earth.

Beginning decades ago, the city of Olympia was roughly divided into four districts, each controlled by the four major powers on Earth.

As the two super hegemons, the Asia-Pacific Community and the American Federation naturally have the largest spheres of influence.

One controls the Eastern Xia District, and the other controls the Southern Star District.

The remaining two powers are the New Roman Empire and the Western Democratic Alliance.

The rest of the countries have to rely on the four great powers to have a place in Olympia.

Ji Xinghuo is located in the Dongxia District, which occupies a quarter of the city. More than 70% of it belongs to the Asia-Pacific Community, and the remaining 30% is divided among the allies or economic partners of the Asia-Pacific Community.

There are more than five million people in Dongxia District alone!

The entire city of Olympia has a permanent population of more than 20 million. In ancient times on earth, this was an unimaginably large population.

For a city without technology and modern architecture, the only way to accommodate such a large population is to expand the urban area.

Therefore, the length and width of the city of Olympia are more than fifty kilometers.

The buildings in the city are endless and there is no end in sight, but no matter which direction you look, you can see a tall city wall.

In addition to Olympia, various countries have other cities built far away from the Star Gate.

For example, the "Yanhuang City" of the Asia-Pacific Community is more than 400 kilometers east of Olympia; the "New Philadelphia" of the American Federation is to the south.

A total of more than 20 cities have opened up more than one million square kilometers of territory for all mankind.

But the most important thing is Olympia.

Only here can you go back and forth between the astral world and the earth. It has the largest population, concentrated resources, and millions of troops stationed in various countries. The surrounding dangerous factors have been completely removed, so it is also the safest.

Ji Xingyan planned to stay in Olympia for a while.

There are more than 20 million people in Olympia, so be careful. Although it is not like finding a needle in a haystack for the Sword Bureau to find you, it is still very difficult.

Once he realized that trouble was coming, he immediately changed places.

After watching on the balcony for a while, Ji Xinghuo returned to the room.

Opening the Vientiane Xingpupil interface, the three arrows were still there, and his body was facing the largest arrow, and he immediately sensed the guidance from afar.

"what is it?"

Ji Xinghuo was looking forward to it, but he didn't go there on impulse.

He remained still and concentrated on sensing the direction of the arrow, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not get more information, only that clear connection.

"Ok?"

Ji Xinghuo suddenly frowned, "Can it move?"

He sensed for another ten minutes, and finally confirmed that the direction pointed by the arrow was moving.Although the movement is very small, it can be confirmed that it really moved!

Ji Xinghuo's heart sank, this is definitely bad news!

There are two possibilities.

One is that the thing itself can move, the probability is very small, and the Wanxiang Xingpu will not have the ability to move.

The second is that it is moved by other creatures.

"Could it be eaten by some astral creature?" Ji Xinghuo guessed in his heart, "Or was it obtained by someone else?"

if the latter one……

Ji Xinghuo was taken aback. If he could sense the other party, could the other party sense him?

In case the other party is a powerful astral power with terrifying strength, if he directly kills him and hides here by himself, wouldn't it bring disaster to the city of Olympia, and even the earth would be implicated!

Ji Xinghuo suddenly became restless.

But he didn't act rashly, he stayed in the room, focusing on sensing the direction change of the arrow all the time.

Time passed slowly.

The flow rate of time in the astral realm is the same as that on the earth. The difference is that there are 49.6 earth hours in a day in the astral realm, and there are more than just day and night.

Between day and night, there is also a "starry night", and the day is divided into three stages.

A few hours later, the "golden glow" in the sky fell from the western horizon, and the setting sun gave Olympia a golden light.

When the last ray of sunlight disappeared, a "moon" rose on the eastern horizon.

Ji Xinghuo observed this wonderful scene on the balcony.

A "moon" slowly rose into the sky. It was half as big as Jinhui, but not as bright as Jinhui. The silvery white light was mixed with brilliant blue, and it fell down, covering the whole world in a dreamlike moonlight. Like a sweet dream.

At the same time, stars lit up in the distant sky.

There are billions of these stars, countless in number. They form a galaxy that covers the entire sky. Most of them are extremely dim, but a few are very bright.

Everyone is very familiar with this galaxy.

"Galaxy Reflection!"

Ji Xinghuo let out a sigh of praise.

Unlike viewing the Milky Way on earth, you can see the entire Milky Way in the star realm without any hidden zones or dust obstructions.

It's like looking down on the entire galaxy from the front of the Milky Way tens of thousands of light years away.

This phenomenon is completely unexplainable in astronomy.

There are still many things in the astral world that are incomprehensible.

For example, the "moon" is not actually a moon, it is also a star. Astronomers identify it as a blue-white giant star. According to the name of the aborigines in the star world, it is called "Yilin Yao".

The volume of Yinyao is more than a thousand times that of Jinhui, but the distance is extremely far, so the brightness is not as good as Jinhui, and the volume seems to be only half the size.

In addition to Yinyao, there are four other "moons" in the sky.

The scarlet and bloody light is "Scarlet Flame Star";

The one that exudes a faint blue light is the "Blue Yingxing";

The one that looks like a spherical jadeite is "Cuiweixing";

Finally, there is the "Purple Star" shrouded in a strange purple light.

Astronomers don't know whether they are stars or planets. They are about the same size, located in different directions, and each has its own orbital speed.

Sometimes the four stars can be seen during the day, but sometimes they disappear during the starry night.

But in the dark, most of the time you can't see them.

According to the summary of observational phenomena, astronomers have come to a shocking conclusion: whether it is Jinhui or Yinyao, including four-color stars, all revolve around the star world.

This is somewhat similar to the "Earth Center Theory" centuries ago, but there are differences in many details.

However, it is not clear whether the astral plane itself is a planet or not.

I don't know how many astronomers have had a hard time with this.

The length of Starry Night is not fixed and changes every day.

According to the cycle of starry nights, the star world is divided into two seasons a year, the hot season and the cool season.Each season has 328 days, divided into nine months, each month has a separate name, most months have 36 days, and a few months will have an extra day.

One "day" here is the length of time in the star realm, which is 49.6 earth hours.

It's the "warm month" of the hot season, the fourth month of the year.

Starry Night lasted 11 Earth hours.

Ji Xinghuo has not left or slept in the hotel room, sensing the direction of the arrow every half minute.

As the Yinyao fell, the sky was completely plunged into darkness, and the reflection of the Milky Way and the four-colored stars also disappeared.

This is the real night.

The combined length of the starry night and the dark night is fixed, exactly as long as the day, which is equivalent to 24.8 Earth hours.

A cycle of day, starry night and dark night is a complete day in the astral world.

But tomorrow, the starry night will be 272 seconds longer.

During the hot season, the starry night will be extended by 272 seconds every day until the last day of the "full moon", the starry night will last for 24.8 earth hours, which is as long as the day, and the length of the night will be reduced to zero.

This day is the midpoint dividing line of the astral year, and it is also the time when the temperature is the hottest.

The next day enters the cold season.

During the cold season, day is followed by night, then starry night.

On the first day of the cold season, the night lasts only 272 seconds. After that, the night gets longer day by day and the temperature begins to drop. Until the last day of the "cold month", the night is the longest and the starry night shortens to zero.

In this way, eighteen months go through two seasons, and an astral year ends with 656 days.

One year in the astral world is equal to 3.7 years on the earth!

Even in the dark, Olympia is still brightly lit. Although there are no electric lamps or oil lamps, there are many means of lighting in the astral realm.

The most commonly used crystal lamp in Olympia City is "luminous crystal" as the main material.

It absorbs sunlight to store energy during the day and emits light at night.Although the brightness is not high, as long as the quantity is large enough, the lighting effect can also be achieved.

In addition, there are several fluorescent plants that can be planted to illuminate the street and the home.

Looking out from the balcony of the hotel, the city of Olympia is dotted with lights like stars, and the city is like an isolated island in an endless dark ocean.

Ji Xinghuo looked out of the city and had an illusion.

There seemed to be great horrors hidden in that unseen darkness.

In fact, the dark night in the astral world is the most dangerous. Most of the hunting teams and aliens who go out for adventure, the dark night is the biggest enemy they face.

Ji Xinghuo didn't sleep all night.

More than ten hours later, Jin Hui rose again, illuminating the earth.

This was his first day in the star realm, and he spent the whole time in the hotel room, not even taking a step out of the door to eat.

While concentrating on his cultivation, he paid attention to the changes of the arrows.

The second day, the third day...

Ji Xinghuo stayed in the hotel for three days, then moved to a hotel further away in the city, where he stayed until the seventh day.

He has already gotten used to the environment and climate of the astral world.

Most importantly, Ji Xinghuo finally confirmed one thing after these seven days.

The movement pattern of the thing pointed by the arrow is synchronized with the day, starry night and night of the star world. It moves most frequently during the day, and the starry night also moves, and it is completely still at night.

This means that the other party is indeed a "person", an intelligent race!

However, the opponent's activity area is limited to a certain range, and there is no sign of approaching him.

Ji Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Only I can sense it, but the other party can't sense me."

Although he didn't dare to be 100% sure, he was more than 99% sure. Otherwise, he would have to return to Earth immediately, and he would not dare to stay in this star realm for a day.

When it comes to your own safety, and even the safety of Olympia City, you can never be too cautious.

Eighth day.

When entering the starry night, Ji Xinghuo walked out of the hotel with a backpack full of cash on his back.
