Chapter 149 Travel Checklist
It has been a while since the Earth came out of the Ice Age, but there are still many areas on the ground that are in the midst of a cold winter, but compared to the previous climate where even the air is condensed, such a winter can be said to be comfortable and pleasant, after the Earth enters a new orbit, the loss of the moon's gravity produces a slight deflection, and the change of seasons disappears.
The only factor that affects the temperature of the earth is the giant planet with a huge ring overhead, the dust and large asteroids that make up the ring sometimes block the light of the stars, as short as three or five days, as long as several months, total solar eclipses are no longer so rare, anywhere can suddenly fall into a short period of darkness, such a thing happens almost every day, but it happens in different parts of the globe, because the movement of the halo is affected by a large number of random factors, so this sudden long night is also unpredictable, At least, that's how it is for now. Other than that, there's nothing to find fault with in this new star field.
Mark looked up at the glass rosette window dome directly above him, spiderweb-like frost flowers spreading along the surface of the glass, thin ice covering the colored patchwork glass with a fog-like white, and these various colored glasses combined to form patterns that tell certain stories, including human figures, animal motifs, trees, and the sun. However, through this thin layer of ice, the whole dome became blurred, and what the motifs were trying to express became more difficult to read, except for the red sun, which was still conspicuous, and beyond the dome, the real sun shed a warm glow, just through the red glass and into the room, and the rose windows became vivid and vivid.
The sun came out, the short night passed, the ring nebula that was blocked above had removed, the sunlight sprinkled back on the earth, the frost flowers that had just climbed the dome began to fade rapidly, the trail left by the frost flowers on the glass was beautiful and full of artistic sense, Mark could no longer tell whether the pattern he saw was frost flowers, or rose windows were the original color blocks.
The dome is many years old, and Mark is not an expert in history, nor is he an artist, and he doesn't know exactly what age it is, but the only thing that is certain is ...... When it was made, it was the same sun that shone on it, and not only it, but everything in the room was a product of the pre-hijacking era.
Once one of the most famous museums in the world, it is now slowly falling into decay in the cold of winter.
There is no trace of other people's habitation within a hundred miles around, and with the population dispatch of the five major districts, this once prosperous neighborhood has been emptied, and Mark is one of the few people who have walked in here in the past few years...... Not the only one, because he wouldn't have been here if no one pushed him.
The sky finally brightened, and the sunlight poured down from the glass blocks of the dome, and this beautiful and huge work of art was restored to its original appearance, which made people marvel at its exquisiteness, not only in terms of craftsmanship and artistic beauty, but also in its own sense of the value of the times and the weight of history, which still existed after war, political change, cultural integration and a long winter......
"It's time for us to go, you've been here for a long time......" Sun Tan's voice came from behind Mark.
The space around him was empty, and the words he uttered kept echoing through the space, like ringing in the ears for a long time, like the statues standing on either side of the high wall repeating what they said.
"I'd like to see it for a while." Mark's gaze was taken away from the rose tea and fell to a famous painting, a very famous huge oil painting, which even those who have no dabble in art will see it in various films, television or advertising works.
Sun Tan is right, he has been here for a long time, but the total solar eclipse has disrupted time, and Mark's body can no longer feel the cold, and time has become slow in this building covering an area of nearly two hundred hectares.
"Don't you have another itinerary after that? It's too late if you don't leave now. Sun Tan urged again.
In the end, he couldn't resist Mark, contacted the hibernation center according to his wishes, and picked him up from the hospital, Mark's condition was still very bad, but his own will was so strong, no one else could do it, and the medical staff could only switch him to conservative treatment and let him take medication regularly every day.
"Alright then, let's go, let's go to the next stop." Mark reluctantly looked away, pushed the knob with his fingers, and the wheelchair lifted him and began to move, the speed of the chair is not slow, but the shock absorption is very good, sitting on it almost does not feel a little vibration, sometimes Mark is worried that he will fall asleep on it, and then drive all the way to the bottom of the cliff.
"Actually, you don't have to go at this time, after twenty years, these places will definitely still be there, and you don't need to ...... like explaining the future."
"Who knows, didn't the Maldives sink in fifty years? We don't have a chance to go again......" Mark sighed, and then coughed heavily, it was indeed a bit reckless to come to such a cold place, he was wrapped in a thick blanket, and his body was still frozen and stiff.
"Actually, it surfaced again, and after the continental shelf changed, it was raised dozens of meters higher and exposed to the sea." Sun Tan said.
"That's good, it looks like we have one more destination." Mark smiled, and suddenly his spirit was shaken.
"Don't don't, forget it, there's nothing on it now, it's just a bare reef."
"That's okay, I've always wanted to see the sunrise on an island like this, and the new planes are very convenient anyway." Mark was a little anticipatory, and sped up the speed of the chair under him.
He had a long list of places he was going to look at before hibernating, and after all these things, Mark was a little physically and mentally exhausted, he hadn't had a good night's sleep since the hijacking incident, he was busy with various things before, and now he couldn't sleep because of the pain, and soon ...... He could get a long night's sleep, but until then, Mark wanted to get a feel for the world right now.
He knew that when he woke up, everything was no longer like this, and rapid development would swallow up many beautiful things, which was an inevitable trend and the path that humanity must take now, and Mark knew this, but out of selfishness, he still wanted to take a good look before all this was gone.
