Sandora was rebuked by the whole family, but she finally didn't boil and eat the giant egg.
However, everyone still hasn't figured out how to deal with this "baby" brought by Lin. Anyway, I don't think it is appropriate to put it anywhere. Although I understand that Lin is an oviparous creature (it is said that it can also become viviparous according to personal preference)
?) has the ability to lay eggs like this, but this does not mean that I can remain calm when I see her carrying a giant egg several meters high walking past. It was shocking enough to know that the little crow secretly hatched the eggs, but now
An even more powerful thing popped up - laying an egg. It's okay to say, but it's such a fucking size. Are you trying to scare people to death? At first, I almost thought this was someone's newly developed landing module!
Things that are several meters high must not be placed in the living room, unless we plan to dismantle the ceiling on the first floor and use this egg as an indoor landscape tree. It cannot be placed on the roof. Although it will not collapse the roof, it will not collapse.
This is my house! Can you not install some weird decorations on other people’s houses?! Qianqian gave an idea, saying that she could leave the dome in the yard and build a circle of chairs around it.
Plant some flowers and plants under the dome, add a wide edge on the egg, and directly use it as a pavilion. Firstly, it can complement the fountain in the yard. Secondly, the dome itself will glow, and it can also be warm in winter and cool in summer. It is several meters around.
There are physiotherapy effects within the range, and it would be a shame for the audience not to put it to some use - I expressed great appreciation for Qian Qian's idea, and then rejected her.
Are you kidding? It’s already weird enough to have a fountain full of grooves in our house, but what if we also put a dome pavilion in it?
What's surprising is that Lin, as the person involved, didn't express an opinion from the beginning to the end. She just hung her neck and listened behind everyone with a shy smile as before, and even boiled the dome when Sandora suggested it.
She didn't say a word while eating. I couldn't help but wonder if this poor doormat was bullied into a fool. So much so that he didn't even know how to stand up for himself at this time - you should say something to this silly girl! Dragon
Don’t you regard your dragon eggs as more precious than anything else? Aren’t there stories in various legends about mortals who accidentally touched a dragon egg and were destroyed by a giant dragon group? Although your dragon egg can’t hatch any offspring,
At least it's something that fell off your body. Can you show off a little bit?
I dragged this doormat aside and asked for a long time, but Lin just shook her head indifferently with a soft giggle: "It doesn't matter, it's not an important thing anyway, as long as everyone likes it."
I was dumbfounded. Then I reached out and touched Lin's forehead: "Girl, are you really stupid? I remember that dragons are very important to their eggs, or is it that dragon gods are different from ordinary dragons and generally have a more unrestrained personality?
"
"Dragon eggs that cannot be hatched are not important," Lin scratched her hair. "We all think so anyway. Outsiders seem to have some misunderstandings about the dragon clan. They think that dragon eggs cannot be touched, but in fact we only protect the offspring that can be hatched.
Dragon eggs. Divine dragons and ordinary dragons have similar ways of thinking in this regard. Otherwise, some races of ordinary dragons in the lower world still lay eggs periodically before finding a mate. What to do with these eggs? You can't.
If they are hatched and cannot be thrown away, why should they be piled up in the nest? Over time, they will take up a lot of space, and dragon eggs will never go bad. If they are piled up for a lifetime, they will be enough to build a house."
"I think our topic is very strange..." I broke out in a cold sweat. Finally, I decided to discuss something normal with Lin, "Then how did you deal with laying eggs in the past, or what is the usual way of dealing with your dragon clan?
How about it? This thing is really immortal and is always available with you... It’s really troublesome to think about it.”
"It doesn't matter, you can deal with it however you want. Sometimes they will be thrown away, but if the patterns on the eggs are very beautiful, we will also collect them, just like collecting other shiny treasures. There are too many ordinary dragons in the lower world, so I don't know everything. But God
The dragons in the world will also make eggs into handicrafts, or use them for experiments... various experiments," Lin showed a clean and pure smile, "I also have three beautiful dragon eggs in my castle, two of them are mine.
The one I made is a gift from a friend, and I can show it to you later. I rarely show others my treasure trove."
I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that the living habits of some different races have almost risen to the level of performance art in human society. This is the cultural difference, friends. Do you understand the cultural difference?
At this time, I suddenly remembered what I heard Bingtis say just now, and glanced at Lin curiously: "By the way... the dragons can control themselves when laying eggs? Bingtis seemed to have mentioned this just now."
"There are some things that the dragons in the lower realm can't do, but the Dragon God must be able to do it," Lin nodded vigorously, "It would be very troublesome if you have behavior that you can't control. It's more likely to delay things during a war."
"...Then why did you decide to lay an egg on a whim? Isn't this fun?"
In fact, I wanted to ask her directly, "What is your motive for laying this egg?" But then I thought it would be impolite to ask, so I changed it to... well, it still sounded impolite.
This question is so complicated that it’s inappropriate to ask it! Who can tell me how to solve this ultimate cultural difference problem?
As a result, Lin looked up at the sky and gave me a more culturally different answer: "The weather is nice and sunny today. Anyway, I have nothing to do and I just want to lay an egg. I feel that I am in a good mood.
I can probably lay a very beautiful egg..." At this point, Lin's face showed a slightly embarrassed look, but the reason for her embarrassment was not at all what I imagined: "It seems that the performance was a little abnormal, and the eggs did not look good."
Anyway, I feel that this topic can no longer be continued.
Lin has given this dome to us. She said it was to thank you for taking care of her all the time. She also felt that it was embarrassing to eat and drink here every day, so she wanted to at least express it a little bit. Let us not consider this weird gift and its accompanying things.
Due to cultural differences, in short, you can't refuse something kindly given by others, right, so my sister accepted it. But in the end, this thing was of no use - the three views of our family were all different.
It's normal (at least compared to some people). I really couldn't put Lin's dragon egg in the living room as a Christmas tree or break a hole in it to modify the boiler. In the end, this dome was hung on
A newly built landscape tower in Shadow City is surrounded by a circle of searchlights that look like sword tombs. Qian Qian named it "Egg Tower (Tart)". After all, it's okay to turn it into something related to art.
Not a disgrace to my life...
I hope the little crow doesn't fly over to hatch the egg... It shouldn't be the case. I have emphasized to her several times that the egg cannot be hatched.
By the way, what is surprising is that after hearing the origin of this dome, the citizens of Shadow City all expressed their acceptance. No one thought that this thing conflicted with their three views. I am very curious about the five people in Shadow City.
What exactly did the construction of spiritual civilization in 2010... But consider that among the nominal leaders of the empire's propaganda department is Qian Qian, a humanoid spiritual pollution transmitter. It seems that everything is not difficult to explain.
Time passes so leisurely, and something happens every day. Sometimes it is dull and sometimes surprising, but most of the time it is a battle of three views. Anyway, daily life is so continuous. However, Sandora and I can't completely relax our spirits -
—Because the catastrophe waits for no one.
If it weren't for the huge mental damage caused by the previous self-destruction, and the expert team also needs time to evaluate the situation after the big explosion. I'm afraid Sandora and I wouldn't even have time to rest these days, and now
The rest time was finally coming to an end: early one morning, several reports from the Imperial Research Center and Abyss Xiling appeared in front of Sandora and I at the same time.
The meeting place this time was not at Tavel's research laboratory, nor at the Imperial Headquarters, but at Abyss Xiling's laboratory.
This is located on the backside of Shadow City. You must still remember the structure of Shadow City: it is now a suspended landmass floating on Gaia's orbit, and its scale has far exceeded the concept of a "city". It can almost be regarded as a small country.
The side of the suspended land facing Gaia is the positive Shadow City, and the back side is the raised mountains and huge mysterious equipment. It can also be called the reverse Shadow City. This area on the back side of the city is the Imperial Court and the heavy factory.
, the location of the power generator, only a few Shadow City residents know the scene here, and even fewer of them will occasionally come here to take a look or two due to work needs, but no one will stay here for a long time: for most
For ordinary races, the environment here is not very friendly. At least the weird and weird landscape here will not make them comfortable.
There is a newly built building on the edge of this "counter-world". It is different from all the facilities in Shadow City: this building is a hexagonal turtle shell structure, which looks like some kind of closed
The shape of the gymnasium is in the Xiling style, but it has a gloomy black and red paint. A harmless but depressing atmosphere always lingers around the building, and the nearby air patrols are inactive.
Man-machine and the sentry turrets that can be seen everywhere are also warning all visitors who see this building: a special area, no one is allowed to enter.
This is a facility we specially prepared for Abyss Xiling and her subordinates (researchers only).
In fact, Abyss Xiling stayed in the research institute at the beginning, and occasionally when her subordinates came to Shadow City, they stayed in the research institute or other places in the military zone. This was okay for a short time. But after we discovered that the bridge building project may require
After working together for a long time, we had to consider arranging a separate working place for these "special visitors". It was not because of any rejection of Abyss Xiling or her subordinates, nor because of any doubts about her (although there may be
Some people have concerns in this regard), the really important reason is that many abyssal equipment cannot be placed together with other things, and the abyssal apostles themselves also need a special living environment (it’s not that they can’t adapt to ordinary environments, but ordinary environments)
Can't stand them), after comprehensive consideration, we built such a laboratory for them behind the Shadow City.
Although Abyss Xiling herself can still operate in the front of Shadow City, if her men want to come, they will basically have to settle in the back of the city. They themselves have no objections to this: Xiling Apostle is a very pragmatic creature.
Both parties knew that this arrangement was not out of rejection or malice, but simply a "need to do this", so the "guests" from the Abyss readily accepted the imperial arrangement.
Abyss Xiling's office (actually her life form doesn't need an office, but we still got one for her) is similar to Tavel's office, equally spacious and equally simple, if it weren't for the gaps in the alloy walls and some equipment
You can see a dark red stream of light, and I would hardly recognize that this is a room belonging to the "fallen apostles" (it seems inappropriate to call them "fallen" now). Because it is not a research place, it cannot be seen here.
What kind of complex equipment? The most common ones around are holographic projection devices and some anti-gravity suspension platforms displaying samples. Sandora, Harlan, Bellavilla, Abyss Xiling and Tavel's bodies are among me. Plus Xing Chen
With the two big guys Sheila, it can be said that all the leaders and experts are here, and what we have to face is a fact that can drive everyone at the scene crazy:
It seems that the startup side cannot be repaired, and the security core problem is also not minor.
Something was displayed on the holographic projection in the center of the room: they were many groups of "strange objects" whose original form could no longer be seen. They looked like large groups of marshmallows, white in color, neither square nor flat.
There is a faint white light emitting against the dark space background, giving people the impression that clouds are floating in space. The edges of these white "foreign objects" with a slightly flocculent texture have obvious signs of blurring, making them look like phantoms.
.But the interior is extremely solid, and it can be seen at a glance that it is the real thing.
There are about a dozen such "tearing clouds", and they are slowly switched on the holographic projection, and finally they are all listed. There are reference objects next to each "tearing cloud". That is what I have already learned.
The familiar Eternal-class mothership. This reference makes people realize that the scale of those white light groups is actually quite huge.
Around each white light group, you can see a group of unclear light points moving quickly. Inside some white light groups, you can also see dark red or golden blue flashes bursting out irregularly. After zooming in on the image,
Only then did I realize that those light spots were some engineering teams, a joint expert group composed of the Protoss, Xiling Apostles, and Abyss Apostles. They were trying their best to repair those white light groups-the startup end.
This is what Abyss Xiling presents to us.
"I have to say... the power you used seems to be a bit too high," Abyss Xiling pointed at the scene on the holographic projection, and his tone seemed to be very helpless. "Three void creatures are enough to destroy all possible consequences of 'this shore'.
Anything, you also added an emperor-level Xiling apostle and countless high-power 'bombs'. Look at the miserable situation at the start-up end. We had to run all over the universe and even run into the void to destroy it.
Pick up the wreckage - some of the wreckage was directly assimilated into the void. It was such an earth-shattering explosion, you just blasted such a solid thing from the main material plane into the void!"
"Isn't the situation critical at that time? We were afraid that if we didn't have enough power, everything would be over when the new army succeeded." I scratched my face slightly embarrassed, and then I couldn't help but turn my head and glance at Xingchen and Sheila. The two of them were very different.
Sandora and I came back earlier. In fact, they were not blown very far at all. The two great gods fainted in the void for a long time and then flew directly back to the God Realm. "By the way, you look good, don't you?"
"It's okay, okay," Xingchen smiled warmly. "I went back and pretended to be injured and lay at home for half a month. They didn't let me read the report. If Sheila hadn't pretended to be exposed, I should still be able to do it.
Just lie down for a few more days."
Me: "...Is it appropriate for us to talk about this publicly?"
"There's nothing inappropriate. Void creatures are just inert. They're all the same. No matter the Star Realm or Huron, they'll both be the same without us." Sister Sheila waved her hands, "Look, I haven't been back for such a long time.
Isn't there something going on at home?"
"In fact, the world of gods will still move without us, but it will move a little slower." Xingchen quickly straightened his expression and said cautiously that he was still working normally, and he was very cautious in choosing words and sentences...
I:"……"
Bella Villa couldn't stand it anymore: "Let's get down to business, can you guys restrain yourself?"
After the three of us hurriedly sat down, Bellavilla immediately touched her face and laughed: "Hey, I taught three void creatures at once, and I suddenly feel that I am more powerful than before I was schizophrenic."
Harlan immediately glared at me: "Let's get down to business, can you please restrain yourself?"
I:"……"
Since contracting mental illness, Bellavera has become completely nervous.
"In short, the situation at the start-up end is like this," Abyss Xiling has long been familiar with this situation. She determined the general temper of the leaders of the new empire and the two groups of gods in a short period of time, and after confirming that we will not
Therefore, she no longer struggled with this issue after she dropped the chain. Now she just waited for the few guys who couldn't help but talk about horse racing to shut up before continuing, "The situation at that time really did not allow you to hesitate. No matter what, accept it...
Let's be realistic. At first I thought that due to the special existence of the startup end, it could withstand any form of destruction. Now it seems that the power of the void creature is indeed beyond calculation. Its outer zone can be repaired using technical means.
Yes, the trouble is the core... I used many world hearts to make this core. It is an abstract and complex thing. Although it looks like matter, it cannot be synthesized by any method. It has no material structure except
You can't do any scans on it except that it can be seen and touched. Even if I made it, I don't know what its specific structure is... Do you understand?"
"You don't even know what its structure is?" Xingchen looked at Abyss Xiling in surprise, "Then how did you make it?"
"This process can only be described by formulas and mathematical methods, and there is no entity that can correspond to it. It is as if the people on earth saw a formula used to describe four-dimensional space and time before they could uncover the mystery of dimensions.
Mathematical tools can understand this formula, but they can never operate it in the real world. The situation I face is somewhat similar, the only difference is that I at least know how to forcefully transform pure mathematics into reality, but I can only forcefully transform it-
—We don’t know enough about the void, so when we made the launcher, we knew it but didn’t know why. I used a lot of information from the other side, but the information on the other side was also inherited from the last season of civilization, and no one could read it.
Understand, but if we don’t know the principle, we don’t know the second way to make the startup end...and I’m afraid we don’t have enough time for the first way.”
