Chapter 175: The Ring of Stars
Follow Mark's gaze all the way into the distance, stretching ...... Beyond the blue light of the ship's tail flame and the solar panels of the satellite, over the reddish stellar halo of the celestial beam, all the way to a farther and farther place, Mark himself did not know what was in that direction, he looked at it very strangely and then withdrew his gaze, what he didn't know was that the direction he was looking at happened to be the direction of the former home of mankind, separated by a distance of thirty light years.
The group of people who have settled in the four star systems are not the human beings accumulated in the universe, the earth and the moon have entered the orbit of the new home of the four stars, but in the original solar system, there are still human beings, there are still human beings, there are a group of people who have been forgotten by them, they were not affected by the hijacking incident back then, so they have been living in the solar system.
With the departure of the earth, people have always thought that these people will not survive, without the support of the home planet, with the current level of human technology, it is impossible to survive in space, but these people have indeed survived, and they are still alive and well, and their population is almost the same as the human population in Tianhua IV.
They are the descendants of Xingyao City back then.
This consortium composed of extraterrestrial space stations has survived tenaciously, and has developed a huge population in the absence of a habitable planet, the former Star City is still there, but it is no longer a giant cylinder, with Star City as the core, human beings continue to expand around it, and continue to build more space cities under population pressure, and now a huge ring has been built around Star City, which is composed of three layers, each layer is spliced together by several space habitats, just like this, one layer around the other, Constantly extending outward, looking at the past from a distance, it looks like a kaleidoscope with gold **.
About seventy percent of the population lives in this ring-shaped giant space city, the size of this space city has also reached the limit, although the population is similar, but the descendants of Xingyao City are much behind in the level of science and technology, not only because of the lack of materials, but also because of the loss of external pressure, Xingyao City has developed to the present without even a large spaceship, only some small cargo ships, aerospace technology has not only not progressed but regressed, and can no longer build a space battleship like the Xinsheng. I can't see the spectacular scene of the rise and fall of the 10,000 space cities that Mark saw. Along with the regression of material science, today's Star City is still built with steel half a century ago, and now its size has reached the limit of what it can bear, if it expands a little more, the entire ring may be torn, once there is a breach, the rotation force of the Star City giant ring will disassemble itself, and quickly fall apart.
The rest of the people can only live in the new space city, people have built two new large space cities in the orbit of Mars, constantly transferring population pressure outward, the original Star City has long been overcrowded, with the center as the origin of the ring divided into three layers, the further out the life rations and infrastructure worse, but the higher the population density, and the closer to the center, the smaller the population density, the higher the quality of life, in the Star City every new citizen can be assigned his own residence, as well as his own work, If you want to improve your class, you need to pay a lot of price and effort, most people will not be able to do this in their lifetime, they can only continue to hope for the next generation, but education is also a huge expense, and sending children closer to the inner ring to receive education is the wish of almost all outer ring people.
Compared with the people who live in the four galaxies of Tianhua and have to fight against the fear of the shady scenes every day, this may be regarded as a leisurely place, although the level of technology is a little worse, but the life is carefree, at least ...... They know less, sometimes ignorance itself is a kind of happiness, people here don't know the truth about the earth being taken away, they don't know the final whereabouts of the earth, let alone the truth about the Panstellar Alliance and Dusk, their detection range has not even been out of the solar system, and they have been glad that they can escape the disaster, and even began to deliberately make people forget what happened to them and forget the existence of the earth...... In this way, they tried to cover up the scars of history, and also to cover up their fear of foreign civilizations.
However, everything is always not as expected, dusk is approaching, the universe will soon be flooded, in the storm, no sea can remain calm, even if you hide in a corner of the universe, even if you do not leave this warm paradise, what should come will still come, no one can escape this fate...... Whether you're ready for it or not.
Just when Starlight City was still in its deep sleep, far away from the void that they could not see, a bright red was slowly approaching, it came from the distant and cold darkness, and a layer of smooth ice was condensed on the surface, and when the thin light of the sun shone on it, they would find that it was not ice, it was so bright itself, like a beautiful crystal.
It's just that the size of this crystal is a little too large, one end of it originally belonged to a comet, and now only half of it is left, and the other side is replaced by a crystal that extends out, and the light of the star is felt, and the original smooth surface of the crystal has changed, and countless small crystal clusters like sweat hairs have grown, trembling slightly and stretching out in the direction of the light. They are like seedlings watered by the spring rain, growing rapidly, constantly swaying from side to side, and in the blink of an eye, the originally small crystal fluff has turned into spikes up to several meters long...... The crystal was like a myriad of hands longing for light, reaching far away to the glowing planet, like fanatical believers praying for light and salvation, stretching higher and higher, and finally reaching the limit of its extension.
But the distance between the crystal thorns and the sun is still approaching little by little, and the crystals are no longer growing, and the comet is moving...... The huge rock block attached to the crystal slowly changed its trajectory! Without warning, the comet made almost a great right-angled bend and swooped towards the glowing star.
"Scared!" Nipu woke up from a nightmare, the bizarre scene in the dream was incredible, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat, his hands and feet were still trembling slightly, I don't know if it was because of fear or because of the cold.
It's cold, which isn't normal.
Nipp touched the heating pipe next to the bed, it was almost colder than ice, the heating was cut off at this time, heh, woke up only to find that the nightmare was about to begin.
