180 Farewell! Old World!
Time passed day by day, the draft of the Nicole and the Pride on the dock was getting deeper day by day, the distance between the freeboard and the sea level was also shrinking day by day, and the space in the cave became more and more crowded, and the people in the red mansion became more and more serious and hurried.
A kind of pre-war tension permeated the crowd.
Finally, in the middle of a starry night, Mr. Sun suddenly went door to door in the corridor to inform him that all the volunteers who crossed the corridor should immediately gather in the conference room on the fifth floor to announce something important.
At this moment, people finally realized that the time had finally come.
Thirty minutes later, in the conference room on the fifth floor, all the volunteers received a signed copy of the "Red Chamber Convention" and a "Property Charter".
And the box is placed on a wooden shelf opposite the round table in the conference room.
Just as everyone was silently looking at the documents in the box, Anna suddenly appeared at the door of the conference room, and he announced in a calm voice to the crowd:
"According to our work plan, the Time and Space Jump Light Gate will be officially opened in an hour, please prepare for time and space travel!"
For a moment, people felt the air in the entire conference room condense.
"This is leaving, huh?"
"Old world, farewell!"
Someone in the room began muttering to themselves.
At this time, Ba Lao looked at the shade of the swaying trees outside the window and sighed:
"The New World is calling!"
"Okay, before we go, we still have to make a final confirmation, you are all willing to participate in the crossing, if it's too late to regret it now, we can wash away all the memories of you after entering this building."
"No, I volunteer!"
"I'm desperate for this old world!"
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted.
"If the memory is washed away, even a small part, it is not the whole me...... It's no different from being dead! So I'm going to take part in the crossing......"
"As a scholar, I don't think I will give up an opportunity to rule the country and level the world."
"As a dick, how can I give up the opportunity to be a master?"
"I can still get a ton of silver and a hundred kilograms of gold, I can't give up!"
"I don't want to take the college entrance examination or anything, it's annoying to death just thinking about it."
……
"Alright, since everyone here is voluntary, then everyone! Let's get started like this!"
Anna replied expressionlessly and looked back at the doorway behind her.
At this time, Nicole appeared at the door of the conference room, only to see her slowly walk a few steps forward, standing in front of everyone and smiling and inspecting everyone in the crowd, then she turned around and nodded to Anna, and then, a red light circle gradually appeared behind Anna.
"Notice the electronic clock on the wall, the date display of the clock will continue to jump after the space-time transition starts, and when the jump stops, the clock will show the date that you have actually traveled to.
Please pay attention! The scene outside the window will also change, rest assured, that scene is like a movie, maybe you will be a little dizzy to watch, but please rest assured, there is no danger in this process, the only uncertain factor in the whole process of crossing is the time error from one second to fifty years. ”
After Nicole said this, she didn't look at everyone anymore and turned around and walked towards the aperture.
"Sister Nicole!"
A child's voice stopped Nicole as she walked towards the aperture.
However, Nicole didn't turn around to look back, she just paused and responded to the voiced children's voice:
"Stone, do you want to say anything to me?"
"Sister, will you come back to see me?"
The child asked.
"I don't know yet...... Child...... Probably...... It depends on the results of our research...... If only I could travel in my lifetime with precise time positioning...... So...... I hope there will be a date in the future, okay guys, good luck to you! ”
Anna didn't say anything at this moment, he just waved his hand to everyone and turned and walked into the film of light that glowed red.
Soon, the figures of the two in the light film gradually became trance-like, and at the moment when the figures of the two disappeared in the aperture, there was a common harmony between Anna and Nicole:
"I wish you all a safe arrival and all the best......
As the words gradually faded, the figures of the two disappeared completely in the aperture, the red light curtain was gradually disappearing, and the hall was silent.
"Look out the window!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.
People subconsciously looked at the window, and then people suddenly realized that the coastline, which was originally hazy in the night sky, suddenly became brighter, and then a white light hit and illuminated the entire night sky.
"Suddenly daylight?"
"No, it's still the night sky!"
"It's a bright night sky!"
At this moment, the coast mangroves and white sand beaches that were clearly visible in the distance suddenly distorted, and the bright sky and the earth began to become obscure.
After a while, the town at the bottom of the hill suddenly disappeared, and in its place was a desolate sandy beach.
The world outside the window continued to change, and the distortion of time and space seemed to intensify, and the people in the house felt a slight vibration, and heard a rumbling sound coming and going, like a high-speed train passing through a tunnel.
At this time, there was no longer any vision outside the window, only the red steel floating dock on the shore and the two boats, one large and one small, clearly left in the distance, and the distorted images passed one by one, and the speed became faster and faster, until finally it was so fast that some people felt dizzy and many were forced to look away.
The people in the room did not let out the usual shouts and exclamations in the unusual scene, some only muttered as if in prayer, and some stared intently at the electronic clock hanging on the west wall, and the time numbers were beating rapidly, when someone finally shouted, because the number of the clock indicating the era, although it was beating backwards, had begun to slow and slower and slower, and finally stopped, and only the numbers for the month and date, the hours, and the minutes and seconds were beating rapidly.
"One, six, five, five!"
A few people in the crowd suddenly screamed.
This state lasted for less than ten seconds, when everything suddenly came to an abrupt halt, the rumbling died down, and the earth and sky outside the window finally returned to their normal picture and tranquility.
Outside the window, the clouds are light and the wind is light, the sun is shining, the chirping of a flock of seabirds on the coast in the distance is faintly heard, and the blue-green sea stretches to the horizon, as far as the eye can see.
However, at the line between the sea and the sky, someone saw a rolling air flow like a column of smoke under a dark cloud.
"Look! There's a tornado blowing on the sea!"
Someone shouted, but still most people didn't pay attention to the window, and at this time people were most concerned about time.
"Have we reached our destination?"
"There is no doubt that we have arrived!"
A few people pointed to the clock hanging on the wall, the numbers on which had returned to their normal beating rhythm, and in the display frame indicating the time, a number was quietly frozen there:
1655.1.1.09.31
"Sure enough, there is an error, but it should be less than fifty years!"
Someone in the room muttered quietly.
"Shall we go out and have a look first? The weather outside was nice......"
After a long silence, someone in the crowd raised their voice slightly and proposed.
That's right, you really should go out and have a look, at this time, no one said anything, everyone walked out of the door of the conference room, the crowd circled down the stairs, except for the sound of hurried footsteps, there was no loud noise.
A group of high school students rushed to the hallway on the first floor, and then gathered silently inside the steel door.
However, at this gate, for some reason, everyone subconsciously stood in the door, and no one pulled the handle of the silver-matte stainless steel alloy door.
"Everyone seems to be a little nervous, open that door, let's welcome this new world!"
It was Mr. Zhao who spoke, Zhao Xihe, and I saw him come out of the crowd, holding the doorknob with both hands, but after hesitating, he suddenly opened the alloy door.
The door opened, and you were greeted by fresh air with a slight smell of salty and wet seawater.
"The air is so good......"
Someone in the crowd whispered.
"Yes, it's the air ...... of the seventeenth century"
"No smog, no polluted ......"
"Everyone! This is our new world! ”
Teacher Zhao stood at the gate with a smile and turned back to everyone.
It was 9:38 a.m. on January 1, 1655, and for the first time, a touch of seventeenth-century sunlight poured into the foyer of the Red Mansion, shining on the people in the foyer and reflecting their figures diagonally on the ground.
A gust of sea breeze blew, letting a slightly salty moisture permeate the corridors, and under the concrete steps outside the gate, half-human-tall weeds swayed in the wind, and not far away, a few palm trees stood quietly surrounded by an unknown bush.
As far as the eye can see, the slightly undulating grass outside the door stretches to the distant shore, where patches of sand loom out of the gaps in the mangrove forests in a dazzling white.
"Typical tropical savanna meadow vegetation, a great place for grazing!"
Zhu Cunxiang stood in the crowd and said to everyone.
