Chapter 38: The Cottage on the Auxiliary Road
The sun rose on time, and the warmth drove away the chill of the night. A new day has begun. The three-person team of the bell, the two companions of the electricity, the tree, the worm, and the wine also repaired the mini car. Nine people in three directions, leaving the temporary base in everyone's eyes and setting off. The three of them were still riding bicycles, they were still walking, and the trees and insects were still driving the mini car. With the expectation of nineteen people, we set off in the direction of the three auxiliary roads.
"Electricity, let's go to the place of the big pit, see if the big pit is still there, and we can also determine the approximate time for the self-repair of the ring height." Iron Leg suggested.
"It's feasible, and there is less preparation for being familiar with the road. Let's talk about it after crossing the big pit. Qingfeng agreed.
"Okay, didn't we find a path that was almost destroyed last time on that side road. Let's go there this time. ”
"yes, you don't say it and forget, that path is badly damaged, and it's still okay to walk. Now think about the rainstorm explosion that changed the longitude and latitude of the ring height, and that path may not be the accurate auxiliary road. ”
"What's the grind then, the target is on the left! Let's go. "Den's three-man team went down the main road to determine the direction. It quickly disappeared from the sight of those who stayed at the base.
Bell, Thunder, and Rose rode in the direction of the Great Crack.
"Lei Lao, the big crack is the connection point between a side road and the main road."
Zhong observed very accurately, the width of the main road and the length of the large crack exceeded the original precision of the ring height, and the irregularity was obvious that one side was connected to the auxiliary road from the material of paving to the accuracy of the road surface. Although there is no sophisticated instrumental testing, it can be seen by experience and visual inspection. ”
"Rose, I noticed this last time, but we're going to be in the magnetic field again. There is no regularity in the activity of lava on the surface, and we will be faced with a magnetic field test without warning. Moreover, the auxiliary road was also torn, and judging from the quality of the auxiliary road, the degree of damage is probably heavier than that of the main road. Even if there is a supply point there, the chances of it being there are not very high. ”
"Lei Lao, Rose, we are now exploring everything, and the auxiliary road is not a line segment, although it is smaller than a line in the universe. We walked along the edge of the magnetic field, which was still the quickest direction. We only considered the road surface of the supply point, and when I was admitted to the High School Bureau, there were fill-in-the-blank questions in the theoretical knowledge test. The construction materials of the auxiliary road are not as good as the main road, but the supply facilities are designed and demonstrated according to the preparation for future interstellar warfare, and if these are not on paper, the auxiliary road supply point can fully withstand this disaster. ”
"I agree with Zhong that the supply point was damaged to a certain extent due to the cracks, which is certain. But there must still be buildings and supplies there, but this rift disaster and subsequent surface lava activity, plus the heavy rain and unknown explosions of the past few days have changed a lot, and it is a question whether we can still find the entrance. ”
"So this is the closest supply point to us, so let's go there. Old, it's not okay to be dissatisfied. It's just the body parts that have been replaced, and the head is really not as good as you young people. ”
"Ray, now the age has long been mentioned, it is just a sign of how long you have lived on the earth, for the fast-moving earth, every knowledge stored in compulsory education has gradually become an antique."
"Yes, Lei Lao, it's not just you, but I just went through the high school exam and obtained the qualification to work in the high school bureau, and in terms of theoretical knowledge, a lot of it is beyond my cognition. Technology is flying, we are still rolling the wheels, and even now it has become a two-legged walk, and now the distance from technology is getting farther and farther away. ”
"Zhong, it's not as scary as you say, antiques are just a general term for things we don't know deeply about in the past. It's not divided by time. ”
"Rose, this is a good word, maybe it won't take a hundred years, and the ring height will be compared to an antique road by future generations."
The three of them turned off the main road as they spoke, gathered at a distance of more than 100 meters from the Great Crack, and rode forward in the same direction as the Great Crack tore. The big crack was like a long wound, hideous and miserable under the blue sky and white clouds. Along the wounds are small hills of varying heights and densities that slowly coalesce after shallow lava activity spills into cracks in the surface. The big ones are like a hill, and the small ones are like big stones scattered around.
"Rose, Lei Lao, these lava-condensed bags can speak. The degree to which the ring height was torn can be seen from their bulk density, indicating that the magnitude of the underground commotion was different, and there was also a difference in time. ”
"Well, you're right, it only shows that this time the geocentric commotion was not intentional, like an accident or an accident. According to this, in addition to these superficial lavas, there were two days of heavy rain and the Big Bang in the universe. Weather changes are normal, but the metal debris from that rainfall and the big bang we perceive later are enough to show what is happening in the sky that we can't reach yet. ”
"And this is still the existence that our earth's science and technology look up to. And it happened before the heavy rain, so there was a metal rain, and the earth dust haze caused by the final big bang, the time is certain when we are all still awake, and how long we have fainted, this is impossible to record. At least we who are stranded on the ring high do not know. ”
"God, how many secrets do you have?" Zhong asked like a child, but Rose and Ray couldn't answer, and they couldn't laugh and complain. In the unknown field, no matter how old and how different the knowledge store is, everyone is like an inquiring child. In addition to curiosity and fear, the brave want to ask for it, and the mediocre people are content with the status quo. No matter what kind of person it is, the vast galaxy of the vast universe, what we can know and understand may only be one in a thousand. And there are still many people in this one who don't want to know and understand, not ignorance but powerless choices.
"We've walked more than ten kilometers, and we should be on the edge of a big crack."
"yes, there's very little lava condensation in the Great Fissure. Why haven't you found the sign for the supply point on the auxiliary road? ”
"It's not like those buildings have been refilled with big cracks."
"Stop! We walked back, and when we passed by a small group of conglomerates, the color, the color was slightly different. ”
"Yes, I saw it too, and that should be the location of the supply point for the auxiliary road."
"So we won't get anything out of riding back?"
"There are two kinds of supply points: above-ground and underground, which are also determined by the geographical environment and human habits around the ring heights. There are large supply points, as well as stockpiles for interstellar warfare, including food, weapons, and more. ”
"Rose, these are related to the secrets of the ring high school again, otherwise I wouldn't have heard of it when I entered the assessment of the ring high bureau."
"Zhong, don't say it's you, I was one of the people in the upper realm back then, and I still don't know. Rose, your official position in the High Court is not low, right? Ray asked.
"Lei Lao, you shouldn't ask this sentence. It has nothing to do with our current self-help, and now I'm a survivor like you. Isn't it better to know more about it, it has nothing to do with my official position. ”
"Okay, don't ask, you really shouldn't ask. Hey, that little agglomeration has arrived. Lei said apologetically.
When I rode back, the speed was much faster, and it was only ten minutes away. Following the direction of Ray's finger, the three of them cautiously and slowly approached the Great Rift. The bicycle was abandoned halfway, and the three of them hiked in a zigzag shape to approach the orange-yellow lace-dyed cluster. The closer you get to the condensation group, the more orange-yellow, in fact, reddish-brown and orange-yellow are still very easy to distinguish, but they don't dare to approach the big crack.
"Stop!" The bell at the front gestured to the two people behind him, and it turned out to be a house, a corner had been buried by the condensation of lava, and the doors and windows of the synthetic metal had turned into metal lumps. It's just a relative corner that's still intact. That's enough to get three people excited.
