Chapter 884: Columbus, who failed to discover the New World
This ruined world is indeed full of fascinating secrets. This world full of adventure and puzzle elements made Qian Qian, a lively girl, excited and made her decide to inquire about the information herself. For this ambitious goal, she has successfully contacted the local people
Many naughty children got together and won the throne of the local child king with countless childish games she had accumulated over the past twenty years. Now she is busy playing tricks with those naughty children...
Of course I am also deeply curious about this world, but the places I care about are definitely more high-end than Qianqian.
I want to know whether the fate of this universe 720,000 years ago and the earth in another world have intersected... Okay, this sentence is literary. In fact, I just want to know whether Viska also
Two places were destroyed - two places, one was the ruined universe, and the other was the ancient civilization of Atlantis on Earth.
720,000 years ago, Viska was enthusiastically destroying the Atlantean civilization on Earth, fighting fiercely with a group of scientific expedition teams, and at the same time, her army of destruction happened tragically in this universe.
The battle led to the destruction of a universe, and countless battleship wreckage even piled up to form a star system. What is the connection between these two things?
If anyone says that these two things have nothing to do with each other, I will definitely lift a brick and slap him in the face.
I suddenly remembered a small detail that people care about and has been ignored for a long time: when we took Viska to discover the secret of the barrier star, she found that the star destroyer weapon of the barrier star was still locked and ready to fire. This shows that
Its owner suddenly left the console before a command could be issued. He didn't even bother to shut down the system safely, and then contacted the records in the Atlantis database. We can easily judge.
It turns out that Huska suddenly left the solar system at the end of the extermination war against Atlantis. It was precisely because of this that she left survivors on the earth to spread the ancient myths - otherwise this girl's terrifying
With her fighting power and her ferocious armies, after the earth’s resistance collapsed, would it take one more second to burn the entire planet into a ball of high-carbon matter?
We have always attributed Viska's sudden departure to her madness, but now it seems...
Could it be that the war that took place in this universe at the same time forced her to give up her "game"?
It's a pity that the person who should be the most qualified to answer this question is now even more confused than us. Viska's memory of the events of her crazy years is messy, as if she didn't notice the thing above her head after living on earth for so long.
The moon is her other body, and she has forgotten everything about this universe. She doesn't even remember what battles her Legion of Destruction fought, let alone where they produced such exaggerated casualties. When she saw
After the emblem of her army appeared in this small town, her first reaction was to draw a backgammon board on it with chalk - you said this girl is so weird. What else can I expect from her?
Of course, another reason is that I am not willing to force Viska to recall what happened back then. After all, she finally got out of those dark histories.
The party in Condenser Town was actually quite boring. Even Qian Qian lost interest in playing with the children shortly after they finished singing the hymn. But the townspeople who attended the party themselves seemed very happy. In this
In a world with only ruins, people's lives are suppressed in an extremely monotonous state, especially the people at the bottom here. They go to metal stations to sort scraps, rough-process broken parts collected from various places, and then go home.
Eat those tasteless synthetic foods and synthetic water, wake up and have the next day's work. This is what most ordinary people in this world do throughout their lives. And every time they have a rest day, they take half a day off and get together in the evening.
Singing hymns and sighing to each other about how beautiful the world is has become their only entertainment in their occasional leisure time.
This is a very absurd picture for Sandora and I. To be fair, we can hardly imagine a place with a more bleak future and a bumpy future than this ruined world. This dead space built on corpses is gloomy and depressing.
It makes people despair, but the indigenous people living here feel that this world is so beautiful. They have long forgotten what the real world with sunshine, flowers and grass looks like. Instead, they think that the endless scrap metal dumps around them are paradise...
Today is a rare time to relax in the town. Originally, in this world, even children have to work wherever they can, but today, they can relax completely, and they can also share the sugar cake - that thing is probably this world
It is one of the few luxuries in the restaurant. At least for children, it is a supreme delicacy. I saw a group of children headed by Glick gathering to rest after singing hymns.
Next to a stout middle-aged woman, the latter took out many palm-sized white round cakes from a large bag and distributed them to the children, triggering bursts of joyful screams.
The old man named Barnard walked straight over here after finishing his work. It was very obvious that his target was Sandora and I, which made us look at each other inexplicably.
"Singing hymns always makes people happy. It can make people forget about the fatigue at work and remind them of how beautiful this eternal world is," said Barnard, who is a bit fat but has the simplicity and stability of an elderly person.
Standing in front of us with a faint smile, he turned to look at the cheering children and said, "Isn't it?"
Shandora and I didn't know what this old man meant, so we could only have a casual and perfunctory chat.
"Glick has never been to the big city," Barnard said slowly, with an untroubled expression on his face. "He has only seen the scene there from the screen in the town hall. Like many children, he has no idea about it.
Ayutthaya is full of unrealistic illusions, but overall, Ayutthaya is indeed the best place in the world...People from Ayutthaya can also be respected by many people."
Barnard seemed to be chatting aimlessly. Just like an ordinary old man who suddenly started chatting after meeting a stranger he could talk to, and rambled on about his old past.
Same, but even the most obtuse person should have figured it out by now. What the other party wants to say is obviously not just tourism and the scenery of the big city...
"People from the big city have only appeared in this town less than ten times, and Glick has only seen them from a distance, so he probably doesn't know much about the people who really come from the big city..." Barnard Donla
After chatting for a long time, just when Shandora and I were about to lose our patience and prepare to interrupt each other, he finally got to the point, "You said you came here from the big city to play... This is impossible... People from the big city
They won't have such interest. No matter how curious they are about the desolate area, they will at most take a look at it from a distance in an aircraft. Therefore, if they are curious about the desolate area and come to visit it, they are just like Glick.
A child full of fantasy will believe it."
Barnard finally expressed his doubts about us. Obviously, the other party did not believe our public identity. What he said made sense. After all, loving to observe ant nests and living in ant nests are two different things. That's all you said.
A small town with a hundred or two hundred residents is a bit of a tour-de-force—just kidding.
But even if there is a problem with our identity, Sandora and I have nothing to worry about. Originally, we just wanted to have contact with the residents of this world and get a general understanding of the situation here. After spending half a day with Glick, we almost
We know what we know. It doesn't matter to us whether his identity is "revealed" or not, but it's a pity. That kid Glick is actually quite likable. Although sometimes he is a little too curious, his temperament is hard.
The energy he has honed in life is impressive, and his simplicity and warm-heartedness are also valuable assets - it is rare to see such a sincere child these days. It is said that primary school students now start writing notes to each other in the third grade.
As early as the first grade, I knew how to form gangs to snatch girlfriends or boyfriends. Some people even dared to plan to subvert the world when they were just 1.09 meters tall. You can tell how bad the naughty kids these days are. I was in the third grade of elementary school.
But apart from putting bugs in the pencil case of the girl at the back table, I have never done anything harmful...
"As expected of an old man, we didn't plan to keep it secret for long." Since it's not a big deal to us, I readily admitted, "I just said that to Glick because..."
"I know that he is just a child after all. Even the church will forgive the child's sins - not to mention that he really doesn't know anything."
I was interrupted by Barnard in the middle of my words, and what he said made Shandora, my sister, and I look at each other in shock.
It seems that the situation is different from what I just expected?
Seeing that we were silent, Barnard thought that we were waiting for him to continue talking, so he sighed: "Actually, I expected you to come more than ten days ago, but I didn't expect that it would not be soldiers but special agents who would come."
Agent... Well, I hope I'm not wrong, but I think in this situation, apart from soldiers, there are only agents. Glick's father was born and raised in this town, and he has always been our pride: we
It is a big deal that this small place that is not even a formal village can have a spaceship technician, although it is said that he is only repairing pipelines. As you know, Glick has always called himself 'the son of the old Glick family'
, he thinks this is an honorary title. If the news were not confirmed, I would not believe that Big Glick, who has been a diligent worker all his life, would do such a risky thing..."
Sandora, my sister, and I continued to look at each other, and as expected, this matter really unfolded.
Okay, why would I say it is true?
"Since you are here, you must want to know things about his father from Little Glick, but I can tell you right now, that kid really doesn't know anything." Barnard opened the chatterbox as expected.
There was no stopping him, and probably in order to protect the little boy as much as possible, he didn't even wait for us to speak, and took the initiative to tell everything he knew - this simple old man had already regarded us as "agents" from the big city.
, and it is difficult to say whether there is a so-called identity authentication system in this dilapidated and absurd ruined world. Perhaps the luxurious clothes on our bodies and the generosity of giving away a "great craftsman" are enough to prove our identity, and the other party did not even think of asking us.
A piece of identification. In fact, I just want to remind this old man: Have you ever seen a public servant traveling with a family and a doll in his arms?
Of course, in line with the mentality of taking advantage of a rare opportunity, I didn't remind him...
It was not difficult to judge from Barnard's tone that Glick's father must have committed something outside. But we happened to show up again, so the old man in front of us mistakenly thought that we were here to investigate and collect evidence.
For the staff of Barnard, who has lived at the bottom of society all his life, it is a habit to be frank and lenient when facing "official officials": "Big Glick has not returned to town for two years. He and this place are just
Use text messages to contact him. The last time Little Glick received a message from his father was a few months ago. He only knew that his father went to work on a large warship, but he didn’t know what kind of warship it was. So if you have any questions, just ask me.
Bar."
"Uh. Okay, then tell me everything you know. What did Glick's father do?" I was stunned and said weakly, where do you think this issue should start? Even that
The legendary old Glick didn't know what he looked like, so he could only let the other party pick out what he knew. But Barnard didn't get suspicious because of this. He probably regarded this question as a routine inquiry and just signaled to us.
Following him, he found a quiet corner where no one would disturb him.
"Glick - I mean little Glick's father, who I watched grow up." Mr. Barnard led us to sit down under a small shed placed in the corner of the square. Here is the "Condensation"
"The only "bar" in the town is located. Of course, I keep a wait-and-see attitude towards what the so-called wine in this world is like. "He has been a little fanciful since he was a child. Like little Glick now, he is full of unrealistic fantasies.
Now you know it. So it's okay to say it - yes, little Glick's father has always been interested in the end of the world. He wanted to know what was beyond the Sea of Storms, and he mentioned this outrageous idea in front of everyone more than once.
At that time, no one cared about the random thoughts of a small metal sorter. Even the church members who occasionally passed by to bless newborns would not take it seriously when they heard such treacherous things, and just scolded them. After all, who would have thought
, a coolie who knows nothing but tossing scrap metal will one day set foot on a spaceship?
At first, he just accidentally struck up a conversation with a cargo ship driver who was passing by here to transport scrap metal. At that time, two small stations near this metal station were moved away, so all the local scrap metal cargo ships were concentrated in this town.
, cargo ship pilots coming and going here always take a rest in the town while the workers are loading and unloading things, and Glick usually likes to study aircraft. After going back and forth, he actually started to learn the energy supply science of civilian spacecraft with the pilot.
It's incredible. We all know that all the energy in the world comes from the crystals and reactors left by the ancient gods. Only the priest and the spaceship captain know how to distinguish those crystals. At most, a spaceship pilot knows how to adjust the energy output of the crystal, but
Glick relied on the superficial knowledge he had learned to actually learn how to repair energy pipes. So when he excitedly announced to everyone one day that he was going to be an apprentice on a cargo spacecraft, although many people
I was shocked, but I was not surprised at all.”
"Tell the important point." Sandora saw that Barnard would definitely go off topic whenever he spoke, so she finally couldn't help but remind her aloud.
At this time, Barnard finally remembered that he was still "cooperating with the investigation" and immediately rubbed his hands nervously: "Yes, in short, this is how Glick became a crew member of the spaceship, but I don't know how he got to that spaceship."
I only found out a few months ago that he boarded the Hope, and the captain of the Hope has always been a dreamer trying to survive the stormy ocean. I know you have been looking for opportunities to shut him down.
Mouth. Of course, I support the church. No normal person would be interested in the other side of the stormy ocean, so when I heard that Glick boarded the Hope, I wanted to remind him that he was playing with fire...
…But everything was too late, they had already rushed towards the storm ocean, and the last message on the radio said that they had been lost in the blue storm, and Glick didn’t know this yet…”
Hope number!!
At this moment, Shandora and I jumped out of our somewhat boring listening state at the same time. Those three crucial words shocked people. The dramatic unfolding of the matter was so unexpected. We never expected that Barnard's
After a lot of nagging, the Eternal Mothership that crashed on Mars was finally pulled out.
Glick's father, the metal sorter who left home for two years and was said to have boarded a large warship in recent months, ended up on the Hope...
However, this is really not good news.
My sister gently squeezed the back of my hand. I turned my head and saw a hint of sadness in her eyes.
The Hope, this renegade ark that may have once been all-powerful in the ruined world, has long been turned into a twisted and burning metal wreckage in a distant alien world, and all the crew members on board have not survived.
I remembered my sister’s unintentional words: They are the Columbus of this world.
It's a pity that I didn't persist until the day when the New World was discovered.
The church in this world should be the official force, and the huge super battleship "Hope" is undoubtedly an unstable element that the official forces dare not act rashly. They dare to ignore the ban and explore the psionic storm several times, relying on
It is that he holds a giant ship with absolute power in this universe. I don’t know how a group of deviants obtained such a thing, but it is obvious that they eventually capsized in the gutter: the official statement is
They were lost in the psionic storm, but we all know that they were suddenly attacked by the church's super weapon before they could enter the psionic storm area. In an instant, their shields were all red and they were forced to sail in the void. In the end, they failed to withstand the fatal void impact.
