Chapter 21: Strange Stones

The Blu-ray disc in my hand is a Blu-ray disc released in 2030 that belongs to this different time and space.

This disc is a 10th anniversary edition of a music company, and it contains three of the hottest classic songs released by its ten artists from various periods.

Xu Ran looked at the list of songs on the disc and the release time of the songs, the earliest was a song released by a singer named Qianyu when he debuted in 2010.

Looking back on the past few years on the earth, Xu Ran has never heard such a famous singer named Qianyu and a very popular song.

Moreover, none of the singers and songs on the entire disc have been heard by Xu Ran.

After reading the playlist catalog, Xu Ran stuffed the disc into the car audio system again, and then changed the operation to MTV video playback mode.

After opening the MTV of the popular song released in 2010, Xu Ran found that the singer on it was very unfamiliar.

It is completely certain that the space-time world where this fragmented city is located is parallel to the earth, exactly the same planet, the fragmented world is called Blue Star, and the mother star of Xu Ran is called Earth.

On this blue star, no matter the geographical distribution of the countries seen on the world map, as well as the history, economy, science and technology, and culture of the countries of the world described in some books and materials...... and other aspects, it has more than 90% similarity with the earth world.

But people are different.

As a separate individual living in this blue star world, everyone is different, including fingerprints and genetic characteristics, and it is difficult to find here exactly the same as the characters on Earth.

is like the entertainment star named Qianyu that Xu Ran saw on that Blu-ray disc, looking at his singing music style and Xiao Xianrou's appearance characteristics on MTV, although it is completely possible to find similar or similar to it in the entertainment industry on the earth, but there is a fundamental difference between them.

In fact, when Xu Ran first entered this debris space and searched this building and found those vehicles, he felt the difference between this blue star and the earth.

Because the logos of those vehicles here, even if they look like the cheapest and cheapest models, none of them are Xu Ran has ever seen on earth.

That is to say, there is something on the blue star, there is also on the earth, exactly the same item, there is one name on the blue star, and on the earth, it is another name, all of which are different from people, so that the brands they created and the names they give are different.

But now Xu Ran has entered the Blue Star World of this different time and space through the mysterious metal block, which is a world that has been destroyed by a disaster.

Without communication and dialogue, it is still impossible to analyze the differences between the two parallel worlds from the field of social thought, only from some books and texts that have been left behind.

Continuing to play those good classic music, Xu Ran turned around in the underground parking lot for many times, and after his driving skills became more and more proficient, he opened the door of the parking lot by hand and drove out.

The hardened concrete and stone pavement of the open area outside the fragmented city has long since disappeared, and what was once a wide street is now covered with lead-ash soil.

The soil was extremely dry and very hard, a bit like a stone, and even if Xu Ran drove on it, it was still like driving on a flat road, leaving only a shallow wheel track.

The area where this Fragmented City is located is in the middle of a great plain, radiating from this Fragmented City in four directions, and the distance from the Great Rift between Heaven and Earth is about the same.

Anyway, there was only Xu Ran alone in the entire fragmented city, no matter where he was, there was not a drop of water at all, except for half a mountain that was cut off by the great rift between heaven and earth, there were no forests, lakes, rivers and streams, nothing.

On this empty plain, Xu Ran drove faster and faster, and he could indulge in the crazy excitement brought by the speed.

Of course, Xu Ran did not forget to drive out of the car from south to north, from east to west to make a big circle, so as to roughly measure the geographical area of this space, and there is only one county-level city area.

With the fragmented city as the center, the east, west, and south directions are all cut off by the great rift of heaven and earth that seems to lead directly to the universe, except for the direction of the north, where the great rift of heaven and earth cannot be seen.

Xu Ran drove to the far north to explore if it could extend further.

However, it was covered by extremely dense and heavy lead clouds and dust, accompanied by relatively strong spatial turbulence fluctuations and a mysterious purple light, and from time to time there would be a phenomenon of purple flickering, and the natural environment was also extremely harsh.

At the same time, the purple light covered it was like a wall, isolating this fragmented space.

For the sake of his own safety, Xu Ran did not take the risk of trying to go deeper.

Because when he felt that he was approaching there, both the car and himself began to react unusually.

At that moment, Xu Ran felt that the water in his body was rapidly evaporating and consuming at an extremely strange speed, the electronic system in the car was disordered, and the gasoline capacity data kept plummeting, and he almost broke down and stopped.

Taken aback, Xu Ran quickly turned around and returned, away from this abnormality.

After leaving there for about three kilometers, Xu Ran felt a little more comfortable, and some of the car's data returned to normal.

That area is extremely dangerous.

After being wary of it, Xu Ran decided not to venture into that extremely dangerous place for the time being until he figured out the secrets of this fragmented city, or was not fully prepared.

……

Back in the fragmented city, Xu Ran stopped in the village near the city.

This village is where Xu Ran settled and explored when he first entered this space.

Xu Ran's purpose for coming here was for that strange stone.

I entered a house at random, found tools such as shovels and pickaxes in the house, and took a roll of wire rope, and came to the earliest birthplace.

Sure enough, as expected, Xu Ran came to the birth point, and found the strange stone nearby at first sight.

The exposed part of the stone is about the size of a bucket, and the color of the surface is a dark blue, similar to the lead gray color of the soil, which is easy to ignore without careful observation.

Without delay, Xu Ran picked up the shovel and began to dig along the perimeter of the stone.

The hardness of the lead-gray soil around the stone is beyond imagination, like the frozen ice surface of the earth after it freezes in winter, and you can only dig a few centimeters deep with a shovel.

Xu Ran had no choice but to start planing with an iron pickaxe, and it took a lot of effort and a long time to clear out a fifty-centimeter-deep pit in a circle around the strange stone.

However, the color of the stone dug out under the soil is different from that of the open part, which presents a dark blue color, although the surface shape is irregular, but looking at a single edge, after cleaning the soil, its surface is smooth as a mirror, and the color is crystal clear, just like a natural crystal stone, which also contains a mysterious energy.
