Four hundred and seventieth chapters a person's four seasons
This feeling is quite unique. The entire visual field is quickly filled up. From a certain angle, it feels like you are retreating.
If Cheng Lin's location was still on the outskirts of the city at the beginning, then after a while, it gradually became an urban area. The tall buildings were changing, but only his perspective remained unchanged.
When night fell, what at first were just scattered lights turned into a sea of lights, and endless high-rise buildings decorated his vision.
[You stand in front of the window and see that the world outside is changing rapidly, and a hundred years have passed by in a blink of an eye]
[Your campus has been expanded several times and is gradually included in the super city cluster]
"Super urban agglomeration?"
Cheng Lin is not unfamiliar with this term.
I've heard that before.
The general meaning is that as urbanization continues to deepen, multiple cities with similar geographical locations will form a whole.
This will also lead to the expansion of the area of each city, forming an urban area with tens of millions of permanent residents and a gross product value of trillions.
It seems that his area will also experience such changes in the future.
[At the same time, human society is always developing at a rapid pace around the world]
[You decide to move the window to get a larger view]
With the information in his mind, Cheng Lin stretched out his right hand, two fingers to be precise, placed it on the glass and gently pulled it out... He had learned this action a long time ago.
The scenery outside the glass suddenly began to shrink like an electronic photo.
Soon, only a slowly rotating dark blue planet was left outside the window.
Pulled over...
Pulling a little closer, he could see countless buildings, vehicles, and people surging through the day and night lights on the ground.
Everything was still changing rapidly. After an unknown period of time, Cheng Lin saw aircraft with a sense of science fiction beginning to appear in the city.
The buildings have also gotten rid of the monotonous squareness and become more magnificent, colorful, and even enchanting.
Mirrored glass covers the surface of the building.
Bridges are flying in the air, connecting different buildings.
One line after another, like a nest being built.
Then, some more magical and shocking buildings appeared.
Cheng Lin tried to zoom out and examine the details, but failed because time flowed too fast and light and shadow switched too frequently.
[You try to observe the details, but they are difficult to capture]
The narrator's voice sounded.
Immediately, Cheng Lin discovered that the scene outside the window was changing faster and faster, until it finally exceeded the limit of his visual nerves, and his brain automatically turned on the protection mode.
As a result, the world outside the window became blurry, and he could only vaguely see the starry sky and brilliant star rings.
Then, a strong glare suddenly erupted outside the window, almost no worse than the white light at the beginning of the deduction.
"ah."
Cheng Lin subconsciously whispered and turned his head to avoid it.
Squinting his eyes, he saw his own shadow cast on the floor in the strong light through the slits of his eyelids.
The whole process lasted about 3 seconds, then the light dissipated and everything returned to calm.
"what happened?"
Cheng Lin asked, and at the same time turned his head tentatively, then he was stunned.
He saw that the world outside the window had become clear again, even the acceleration of time had stopped, and what appeared before his eyes was no longer a gorgeous and magical future city, but a devastated city.
[More than a thousand years have passed. During this process, human society has undergone several changes, and the social form has undergone a transformation. The combination of science and spiritual energy has become an extremely huge driving force, rapidly changing the process of human civilization.
Move forward]
[However, the too-rapid development finally began to overwhelm this ancient planet. The energy intake, the increase in pollution, and the changes in the environment made humans who had the ticket to set foot in the galaxy begin to seek a new home.]
[Finally, when everything is ready, the ring-shaped super spaceship officially sets off. It carries all humans and various species on the earth and begins to rush to their new home tens of billions of light years away]
[The launch of the super ship shredded the atmosphere, causing dramatic climate changes across the planet. High temperatures, radiation, and dust permeated the planet, causing a new round of mass extinction of the remaining organisms to begin.]
In my mind, the voice of the narrator sounded.
Immediately, Cheng Lin saw the wind blowing on the dark ground outside the window. The wind was blowing from the sky.
The "ring"-shaped super ship punched a hole in the atmosphere with an area of tens of millions of square kilometers.
Cheng Lin was able to observe the entire hole through the telescopic glass.
It is almost circular and covers an entire area of the earth. The round edges roll up almost white clouds, which looks very beautiful.
Blazing sunlight invades the earth's surface from this extremely large hole, along with radiant energy.
Then, Cheng Lin saw a violent wind blowing from the surface.
He knew that without the protection of the atmosphere, the earth's surface would directly bear the terrifying high temperatures of the sun, which would cause a dramatic "difference" in hot and cold temperatures, and then create violent winds that could spread around the world.
As expected, strong winds blew up dust from the devastated surface.
Cheng Lin zoomed in and saw that the sky and earth were filled with turbid wind, which was the smoke and dust that was rolled up, covering the sky and the sun.
The time outside the window briefly accelerated forward, and it was night.
The holes in the atmosphere were pulled into ellipses under the influence of autobiography and the gravity of the planet, and some of the holes were finally free from direct sunlight.
At this time, looking up from the surface, you can see the beautiful starry sky.
"This is the clearest starry sky I have ever seen in my life."
Cheng Lin stood in front of the window and said.
Time did not stay at night for too long, and the frequent alternation of day and night began again, and the sandstorms raging around the world also made his windows "crash", which was the impact of sand grains in the wind, like the sound of heavy rain.
.
[You stand quietly in front of the window, staring at this scene, and finally... the atmosphere slowly repairs itself, the hurricane on the surface stops, and this disaster also makes the already barren land even more desolate]
[Five years have passed, it’s an early morning, and you decide to go for a walk]
The picture outside the window stopped.
In the narration, Cheng Lin turned around, thought for a while, put on the coat that was thrown on the sofa, then put his hand on the door handle, hesitated for three seconds, and gently pulled it.
…
…
"Click."
The door was opened a crack, and sunlight poured in through the crack, illuminating a golden streak in the center of Cheng Lin's face.
Stepping out of the house, Cheng Lin closed the door with his backhand. Then he saw that the room behind him had transformed into a classical and exotic style. He gently opened the door handle, and soon, the house faded into half.
Transparent state.
Turning around, he looked ahead. Here was a barren land. The ground was covered with gravel and some building debris whose original appearance could not be seen clearly. Clusters of tough weeds grew in the cracks of the stones. In the early morning,
It was blowing gently in the breeze.
Farther away are the mountains.
He saw no trace of the future super city. It was probably dismantled before the super craft took off. After all, if ultra-long distance navigation is to be carried out, all available resources must not be spared.
[You stand in this lonely world, you see the high slope in front of you, and decide to approach it]
With the information in his mind, Cheng Lin tightened his collar and stepped forward on the gray gravel on the ground.
It was extremely quiet, no noise could be heard, only the sound of the wind blowing the grass and trees.
The temperature is slightly cool, and it feels like autumn. The coldness invades the skin through the clothes, and is blocked by the aura membrane. Just breathing, you can still feel the desolation in the air.
"call."
Exhaling a breath, Cheng Lin walked forward slowly, and suddenly remembered the day when he first started the deduction.
I also came to an empty world alone.
It's strangely familiar.
Thinking about this, he finally climbed up the high slope ahead and reached the top, where he was immediately stunned.
Behind the hillside, I saw an endless plain.
The plain is endless and terrifyingly flat, with no ups and downs, only one flat surface, and without any life. It is like a sea of land. It is not beautiful, it can even be said to be ugly, but because of its hugeness, it has a
Such indescribable magnificence.
[You see the endless ‘plain’, which is the base of the aircraft, and you feel indescribable surprise]
In the far distance of this super large plane, a sun was slowly rising, illuminating the heaven and earth, and also illuminating Cheng Lin.
At this moment, the boundless plain seemed to be glowing, and as the last human being on the surface, Cheng Lin was also bathed in the glow, looking directly at the sun, with ups and downs in his heart.
This scene seemed to be frozen. Immediately, the light and shadow changed, and Cheng Lin clearly saw some subtle changes in the scenery in front of him. From the khaki color covered by the storm dust, it began to gradually turn white.
That's snow.
[You raised your head and saw winter]
Thousands of pure white snowflakes fell from the sky, carrying the breeze, like tiny elves, gradually covering the whole world with a white blanket.
The light and shadow changed, and the gray above the head turned into deep black. It seemed like it had been snowing for many days. Cheng Lin had never seen such a long snowfall in his life.
I don’t know how long it took, but the snow finally melted, and then a little green finally appeared on the endless plain.
The desolate planet began to revive under the nourishment of melting snow.
[For most races in the universe, spring is always pleasant, but spring is also short-lived. After a pleasant rain, summer comes]
Cheng Lin stood on the top of the slope and personally felt the layer of snow covering his body melt into water.
His clothes got wet and quickly dried under the warm sunshine.
Immediately, a group of clouds flew in the sky.
That's a cumulonimbus cloud.
Thin strands of rain fell down, moistening his brows and eyes, and also moistening the earth.
However, this moist feeling did not last long, and was suppressed by the strong sun.
The sunlight in the sky began to heat up, and plants spread again on the barren land.
Without human intervention, they were cautious at first, and then spread out unscrupulously.
The light and shadow changed. I don’t know when the high temperature dropped, and the plants everywhere in Naxi turned pale yellow. The fallen leaves blowing from nowhere kicked off the prelude to autumn.
[Autumn comes on an ordinary morning, and a year has passed]
Standing on the top of the slope, Cheng Lin raised his right hand and caught a withered yellow flower that was caught in the wind. He stared at it and suddenly sighed softly: "A person's world is too lonely after all."
After a while, a piece of information came to my mind, which was actually a quote:
[Life never exists independently of loneliness. Whether it is birth, growth, love, success, failure, until the end, loneliness exists in the corner of life like a shadow. "One Hundred Years of Solitude"]
Cheng Lin held the flower and said nothing, falling silent.
The light and shadow around me change, and the earth flashes through countless seasons in an instant.
