Orion Era, 6020 AD, the First Emperor Star of the Great Qin Star District of the Hualong Federation.

A large sky bus cruises at a low speed from south to north along the sky over the 'Sky Arrow'. Inside the cabin, the students of the 20318 class of Xufu Middle School shouted and vied to witness the miracle of nature. Overlooking from the sky, the straight 'heavenly arrow' stretches for more than 100 kilometers, such as lines, arrows, dams, and bridges, dividing the vast sea into two and connecting the north and south.

To the north are frozen oceans, ice fields and snow fields. To the south is the gray-brown eastern continent, and a little further away is the verdant grassland, and at the end of the grassland is the reckless forest. Between the two is the azure sea. The color distribution is very distinct and layered, just like a painting by a master craftsman, which is breathtaking.

The Sky Bus made a circle around the northern end of the Sky Arrow and made a U-turn to the south. Slowly and vertically landed on land at the southern end. The hatch opened, and the students of the class of 20318, dressed in thick winter clothes, swarmed out.

This is an excursion activity at the end of the first semester of the third year of high school in the 20318 class of Xufu Middle School. 20 is the class, which means graduation in 6120. The third is the grade, which means the third year of high school. One eighteen is the class number. This is the last group recreation activity for the third year of high school, and the next semester students will enter the final stage of the college entrance examination.

The so-called Celestial Arrow is a magnificent seasonal natural wonder of the First Emperor Star. During the Northern Hemisphere summer, the narrowest part of the North Sea, between the continent and the Arctic ice sheet, the ice more than 100 kilometers wide melts and returns to the blue sea. In winter, when the ice melts, the land and water take on their true colors. Between the land and the Arctic ice sheet, there is a naturally formed rocky 'dike' that rises several meters above sea level, dividing the sea into east and west.

The 'dike' is not more than two kilometres at its widest point and not less than one kilometre at its narrowest point. From south to north, it is as straight as an artificial drawing, and it is more than 100 kilometers long. Only at the northernmost point is slightly higher, so the ice sheet melts a little more.

Viewed from above, and with the curved land at the southern end, the natural scene here resembles a giant bow and arrow. The 'embankment' is the shaft of the arrow. The slightly higher part of the northern part of the 'levee' resembles an arrow. The southern continent is the bow.

The best angle to see the 'Sky Arrow' is from high altitude, so the plane flew back and forth along the top of the 'embankment'. After landing, because of people's perspectives and visions, it is impossible to see how spectacular the 'Sky Arrow' is.

Although it is not spectacular, the view is quite beautiful. The air is clear and cloudless. The sea and the sky are the same color, crystal like jade. The solar wind swept across the edge of the First Emperor's star, occasionally brushing the sky with brilliant green auroras.

Most of the students are attracted by the magnificent natural landscape, and they run to the white sand beach by the sea to tread water, collect shellfish, or prepare for a 'winter swim' to show off their youthful vitality and figure, or turn on the cameras of Tianxun to preserve the beautiful scenery forever.

Summer and winter swimming, right? That's right, because it's close to the North Pole, and even in summer, the water temperature is close to freezing.

After a few hours of completely letting go of themselves, the students of Class 318 returned to the plane one after another, because the meal had arrived.

This is a business charter airspace bus. The front half of the cabin is equipped with a hundred comfortable reclining chairs, which are completely flat to form a single bed. It is divided into two cabins, left and right, in a two-to-one ratio, and the large cabin is provided for girls. Behind the cabin is the communal bath, and behind it is the galley.

The students rinsed briefly, changed their clothes, and received their own drinks and snacks from the robot. None of the students stayed on the bus to eat, so they all stepped off the bus, squatted or sat on the floor, looking up at the sky from time to time while eating. They were waiting for a meteor shower.

As a famous attraction of the First Emperor Star, most of the students have actually been there. This time, Class 318 chose the place to hike in the Sky Arrow, not because of the landscape of the Sky Arrow, but because a meteor shower is about to land here. The First Emperor Astronomical Meteorological Department made an accurate forecast of the time and place a few weeks ago. Class 318 chose this place to watch the meteor shower nearby.

According to the accurate calculations of the astronomical and meteorological department, the location of the meteor landing is basically in the Arctic ice field, and a small part may fall to the area at the northern end of the heavenly arrow. The accommodation of business planes is dozens of kilometers away from the closest possible landing of meteors, which is already the closest place to watch meteors under the condition of ensuring safety, and students are basically not in danger as long as they do not go to the sky arrows.

Bai Chengcheng received the drinks and packages, returned to the bunk and poured the contents of the backpack onto the recliner, carried the empty bag, walked out of the plane with the lunch box and drinks, and squatted on the ground to wait for the meteor while eating like others.

Bai Chengcheng, a handsome little guy, if it is not a salted fish in learning, if the three-point ruffian on his face is replaced by Haoran righteousness, he is definitely a strong contender for school grass.

The students finished their meals and returned their lunch boxes and empty drink cups to the garbage collecting robots, and sat in front of the bus in twos and threes. About two hours later, the meteor shower arrived.

It's not a good idea to watch the meteor shower up close, because the North Pole is the polar day, and even at night, it's about the same as dusk in Xufu City. Meteors streak across the atmosphere and are far less dazzling than they look in the dark of night.

The line of fire crossed by the meteor was still visible, so the students were equally cheering. As for whether it is beautiful or not, no one really cares, anyway, it is strange.

Bai Chengcheng didn't stare at the sky like others, but stared fixedly at the low altitude on the line of the heavenly arrow to see if any meteors fell on the heavenly arrow.

In the process of watching the meteor shower, Bai Chengcheng quietly moved to the outermost part of the student circle.

After a while, a reckless man with a height of two meters and a thin man with a height of only about one meter seven also quietly came to Bai Chengcheng's side, squatted down and whispered to Bai Chengcheng. These are Bai Chengcheng's only two friends from childhood to adulthood, Lu Youzhi and Fan Gongming.

After an hour of falling meteors, there was not a single meteor in the sky. As soon as Bai Chengcheng jumped up, he was about to rush to the sky. He remembered that two meteors had landed on the right side of the arrow. Unfortunately, other meteors either fell into the Arctic ice sheet or in the middle of the ocean.

Before he could get up completely, Bai Chengcheng was pressed back. was about to scold angrily, but when he turned around, he saw that it was Fang Xinghang, the leading teacher, who was the leader of the team, and he shrank his neck in fright, squatting obediently, and secretly complaining in his heart. In school, Bai Chengcheng is not afraid of anyone, but in front of Fang Xinghang, he is like a mouse seeing a cat.

Fang Xinghang is not the head teacher of Class 318, but the vice principal who was transferred three years ago. Degree, title, and skill are unknown, and they don't teach anyway, and they are in charge of discipline. It is said that the school's most powerful martial artist, the teaching director in charge of martial arts teaching, Corvia, can't support three rounds under Fang Xinghang, so even if he is foreign and young, he quickly established his prestige in Xu Fu Middle School. Bai Chengcheng, a restless prickly student, has been ruthlessly cleaned up by Fang Xinghang many times.

This time, because the head teacher of Class 18 was temporarily ill, Fang Xinghang recommended himself to be the leading teacher of Class 18 for this excursion.

It needs to be explained that the martial artist here does not refer to a teacher who teaches martial arts, but a realm of martial arts.

To fly faster than the speed of light, an extremely high acceleration is required. Ultra-high acceleration requires humans to have a strong body, otherwise they cannot withstand the overload caused by acceleration. Because of the desire for the starry sky, the human race turned the various alchemy techniques of the ancestors out of the waste paper heap of history, and burst out a national cultivation frenzy of ancient martial arts technology.

In order to define the warriors, people rank from low to high the realms of warriors, warriors, warriors, martial artists, martial artists, martial kings, and martial artists according to their personal combat strength. Each realm is divided into nine levels.

Combat power is a comprehensive index that integrates strength, speed, agility, telekinesis, ability, etc., and is a relative standard, which cannot absolutely reflect the strength of a warrior.

In terms of strength alone, a person whose maximum personal strength is under 100 kilograms is not even a martial artist. The strength is between 100 kg and 200 kg, and he is a first-class martial artist; Between 200 kg and 300 kg, he is a second-class martial artist. And so on, between nine hundred kilograms and one thousand kilograms is a ninth-level martial artist.

The samurai were counted from 1,000 kilograms, or 1 ton, to 10 tons. The strength level of a martial artist is ten to one hundred tons. Those who have a strength of more than 100 tons and have internal strength are basically martial arts. Progressing by orders of magnitude, the peak of the Martial King, the strength can reach 10,000 tons.

Corvia is an eighth-level martial artist, with a maximum strength of nearly ninety tons. Such a huge force could not support three rounds in front of Fang Xinghang, which showed that Fang Xinghang's cultivation was very high.

Fang Xinghang raised the high-powered telescope to observe the sky, and said to Bai Chengcheng very casually: "Bai Cheng, everyone else is looking up at the meteor, but you keep staring at the arrow in the sky without moving your eyes, as if there is a beautiful woman waiting for you there." Want to go up? ”

Chengcheng is the same sound, usually teachers and classmates are referred to as its Baicheng (Cheng). Only Lu Youzhi and Fan Gongming called it nicknamed Orange.

"I thought·····, oh, no, no. I'll just see, see. Fortunately, Bai Chengcheng has a habit when he speaks, that is, to glance at Fan Gongming. Seeing Fan Gongming's eyes, Bai Chengcheng quickly swallowed back the words 'go pick up meteors'.

Fang Xinghang pouted, "Want to pick up a meteorite and go back?" Let's have enough to eat. "In the age of the earth, meteorites may be very valuable for research. In today's interstellar age, meteorites are worthless.

Bai Chengcheng subconsciously defended, "How do you call picking up meteorites?" Picking stars, that's picking stars. Meteors are also stars. "The same thing means a lot of different things. Picking up meteorites, so cheesy. How romantic it is to pick up stars.

Fang Xinghang would not have a childish argument with Bai Chengcheng and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

After ten minutes, after making sure that there were no more follow-up meteorites in the sky, Fang Xinghang let go of the restless Bai Chengcheng and reminded: "Don't run too far, at most fifty kilometers." ”

Bai Chengcheng was overjoyed, "Brother Fang, do you allow me to go to the Heavenly Arrow?" I love you to death. Thank you! Thank you! Go Lak. Pick up the stars. "Jump up and run.
