Chapter 265: The Home Star
"Is this the home planet?"
When he got to the ground, he leaned on the glass window, looked out with a curious ringtone.
As the center of the Tianhe Alliance, the only transit station between Tianhe Star and the five star domains, the home planet is very busy all the time.
Due to the very high pressure of spacecraft docking in the airport, there are many space ports on the home planet of a medium-sized planet.
The place that Meng Zhou and the others arrived at before was the earliest airport established by the Dayu Dynasty on the home planet.
And this airport is built on the land of China, and the place where the air elevator is connected is the land of China, which was once known as the roof of the world, and was also the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest.
Hundreds of years ago, it used to be a snow-capped, cold, icy and snowy place.
But now, it has become a bustling city, and there is no trace of what it once looked like in the ice and snow.
Due to the desperate opening of the Age of Interstellar Exploration hundreds of years ago, the climate on the home planet continues to deteriorate.
It's not just the icebergs at the north and south poles that have melted, but the continuously rising temperatures have melted all the ice and snow on the entire home planet.
A huge amount of water poured into the ocean, causing the entire sea level on the parent planet to rise by nearly 100 meters.
The inundation of countless continents that had been very suitable for human habitation in those coastal areas has forced the humans who still live here to move their places to higher grounds.
For example, the world's tallest mountain, Zhu Mu Peak.
The terrain is so high that the sea water can't flood the top of the mountain here, and it's so close to the atmosphere that it's perfect for building an air elevator.
So now this place has become the largest station of the Dayu Dynasty in the land of China, and the most prosperous city here is also located here.
As for altitude sickness caused by being located at a high altitude, the air is thin and oxygen is thin.
The official solution was to build a transparent, semi-enclosed glass enclosure on the outside of the city.
Then, by using methods such as air pressure differences, it is possible to update the air and the like in real time.
As for the temperature or something, because a large number of people gather here, the heat of the human body temperature changes the temperature here to a large extent.
In addition, the greenhouse effect on the home planet is very serious, so the temperature of the entire interior of the planet will be on the high side.
This made the top of Zhu Mu Peak, which was cold before, suddenly warmed up a lot.
Anyway, compared with the inside of the city, although the temperature outside is a little low, it is not as good as before, and people can freeze to death.
People with strong frost resistance, as long as they bring oxygen cylinders, they can also wear short sleeves and move outside!
Looking outside, reflected in the sight, full of scattered high-rise buildings, Meng Zhou also muttered softly: "Well, this is the mother planet!" ”
Unlike Penglai Star, the home planet is full of human breath.
In the past, although Penglai Star was very desolate, even barren and did not have many resources, it could still feel the breath of nature.
On the side of the home planet, although it is said to be very prosperous, there is a trend of people coming and going all the time, and there is no lack of green as far as the eye can see.
But the original breath of nature has long since disappeared.
Even in the middle of the city, there are all kinds of artificially planted green trees, but it still can't stop this feeling.
But even so, it still does not hinder human beings from having a special affection for the home planet.
The land here has long been unsuitable for cultivation, and the food consumed by the humans living here every day is either transported by caravans from the five star domains, or by caravans from the Tianhe star.
In short, all the food here comes from other places.
"Let's go out and have a look!"
Coming back to his senses, Meng Zhou took a deep breath and said to the bell next to him.
"Good!"
Naturally, there is no objection to the ring.
It's also her first time here on the home planet, and she's very curious about everything here.
Her ancestors were Edo people from the kamikaze star field, and unlike Dayu, the homeland of the Edo people on their home planet had sunk to the bottom of the sea a long time ago.
As a result, Edoshi no longer has a homeland.
Except for the needs of commercial trade, they did not have the homeland plot of the Dayu Dynasty.
However, Lingyu is different, since she was a child, she has lived on the Yurong Star in the Dayu Dynasty Star Domain, and she has long regarded herself as a member of the Dayu Dynasty.
The old people have been passed down from generation to generation, and the education from generation to generation has made Shenzhou the homeland in her heart.
So when he learned that Lingyu could accompany Meng Zhou on a trip, Lingyin was very envious.
Fortunately, Suzune promised her that she would buy her a lot of gifts when the time came, otherwise Suzune might cry.
Out of the center of Jumu City, the two of them drove towards the exit of the city in a rented hovercar.
As the central city of the Dayu Dynasty on the home planet, the real estate industry is very developed, which makes the rent far more than other places.
Therefore, many small companies with insufficient strength have not set up their own stations in Zhumucheng.
The same is true of Wen Haoguang's three companies.
Although it can make a lot of profits, it is possible to dare to gain a foothold in the central city, otherwise, it is estimated that it would have closed down long ago.
It will be dragged down by rent or something.
After putting on the oxygen cylinder, at the exit, after receiving a light card, he came out of Zhumu City.
For the sake of large ventilation, as well as some necessary needs, at night there will be a period of time when it is turned off.
And this light card is the pass at that time.
The oval-shaped hovering car wrapped Meng Zhou and the two of them inside, and after coming out of Zhumu City, they galloped towards the bottom of the mountain.
Looking at some tenacious plants growing along the way, Meng Zhou could suddenly feel a trace of the breath from nature at this time.
"This mountain is so high!"
Looking at the regressing scenery outside the window, Lingyu suddenly sighed.
Although Zhu Mu Peak is no longer the highest peak in the world, such a tall mountain is also very rare in the entire territory of the Tianhe Alliance.
In addition to super-large, giant, and super-giant planets, among the large and below planets, it is rare to find mountains that are taller and more spectacular than Zhumu Peak.
"Of course, the altitude of the entire Zhu Mu Peak is close to nine thousand meters now!"
In this regard, Meng Zhou was also very amazed.
Although on the side of Yurongxing, it is not impossible to have mountains that exceed this height, but they are also very rare.
And Meng Zhou has never been there.
