Chapter Seventy-One: The Light of the Torch
However, at the end of the torch-shaped terrain, that is, the area where the torch handle, Haige saw several neatly arranged buildings. They surround a wide green belt, and outside the green belt is a circle of spar mines shrouded in clouds and mist, emitting a faint light, thus creating a deep artistic conception of "the clouds are deep and do not know where to go".
That area, no matter how you look at it, looks like a standard earthling living area, with gardens, fountains, small bridges and corridors and other leisure facilities, and it seems that you can still see children and dogs playing, but you can't hear children's laughter or dog barking.
The scene full of life is completely different from the Lying Elephant Mountain and the Redemption Light work area, allowing Hai Ge to experience the ordinary beauty of life.
"That area is the family area of the staff. In order to relieve the scholars of their worries and let them work with peace of mind, I welcome them to bring their families to live in the underground plant kingdom, so we have also built schools, hospitals, shopping malls and other indispensable supporting facilities for human beings here. The only request I made to them was that they were not allowed to leave the flare area for safety reasons, and that this was the whole world they could roam freely until the Earth was out of danger. ”
Wedel was thoughtful, and Hai Ge was no different from his decision, but he thought, "If I can live and work in peace and contentment in such a magical inner world, if it were me, I probably wouldn't be going anywhere." However, on the other side of the forest, the real underground plant kingdom is still worth exploring......"
Leaving the flare area, the aircraft returned to its port of anchorage, a small two-story building with an extremely elaborate exterior in the classical European architectural style.
On the side of the small building is the apron, and there is an indoor hangar behind the apron, the feeling of Haige, it is like a garage built by earthlings in their own yards, the difference is that the area is many times larger.
When the Doji came to a halt and the two of them walked down from it, Hai Ge saw the seven wolves again. Their vivaciousness is the same as when they were on the ground, but their fur is cleaner and smoother, and they look not only not like scruffy dogs, but also in the form of vigorous wolves.
They happily chased and frolicked on the green lawn in the courtyard, and when they saw their master returning, they shook their heads and ran over to greet them. Wedel took turns touching their necks, and they ran away again, and to Haige, the "stranger", they tilted their heads and glanced at them, and they didn't do anything, they seemed neither close nor strange, and basically regarded him as a transparent person.
"Sea Song," Wedel called his name directly for the first time.
"Yes, sir." Hai Ge's shoulders trembled slightly, and he replied respectfully.
"Don't scare these aggressive animals, I've installed pulsation detectors on them, and if they're not honest, they'll be controlled and won't hurt anyone."
"You installed detectors on your wolves? Why is that? Haige asked.
The young man was full of curiosity, and it was a fuss to install a detector to prevent wolves from hurting people, and it was normal for him to ask like this, and Weedel smiled unwillingly.
"In the beginning, they were wild wolves roaming the woods on the outskirts of Nishijin. I ambushed them so that they could be guarded by my homeless dwelling and to prevent trespassing in my absence. At that time, the underground plant kingdom had just been established, and it was far less heavily guarded than it is now, and I had to take certain measures to ensure that the secret was not leaked. And as you know, earthlings are kind, but they are also suspicious and extremely guarded. If they find out that there is an alien on this planet, they will not be able to see me as a friend, but an alien, no matter what I do. I might become a test subject for them to study extraterrestrial creatures, or even kill them. ”
It seems that Wedel knows a lot about "earth-style socialization", and Haige can't raise any objections. When I think back to the hostility I felt towards the alien visitor when I woke up in the shipyard, and then I put on the GVR glasses and walked into the illusion, and then I really understood him as a person, I used an attitude of resistance and rejection.
However, the complexity of the composition of the earth's society and the sinister nature of the human heart are not fully understood by Hai Ge, who thinks that Wedell has not yet fully understood, just like a person who enjoys the light in a room, but does not know that what is closed outside is the dangerous darkness. If he had seen the ferocity of the wolf's den owner, he would have considered adding a few more beasts to keep the entrance to the underground plant kingdom safe.
As an expert in studying materials, Wedel showed a penchant for metal. The beautiful European-style villas are actually made entirely of metal, and those metal plates must have been mixed with plant ingredients, which look like glass, but have the hardness of metal, which cannot be easily smashed. Therefore, it is not feasible to understand Wedel's metal with the concept that earthlings use on ordinary metals.
Walking into the tall porch, the floor was obviously covered with patterned marble floor tiles, but Haige felt soft under his feet, as if he was stepping on a carpet, so the floor was probably a composite material mixed with plant fibers.
Wedel shook his face at a thumb-sized probe, and the two closed doors silently parted to each side, welcoming his master home in silence and lightness. The strength of the door opening, Hai Ge felt as light as two pieces of paper.
When you enter the door, you will see the entrance. Although the architectural style of the building is European, the entrance wall is carved with a delicate diamond flower pattern, reflecting a strong oriental charm. The coffee-colored, marble-like stone platform faintly flashes gold dots from the cracks in the stone, and at first glance it is known that it is a special stone mine from the center of the earth.
A one-meter-long decorative folding fan is placed on the countertop, but instead of flowers, birds, insects and fish, Hai Ge has seen the coat of arms he has seen in the shipyard: a beautiful planet resembling the sun is in the center, with a tree on the left and right, and a color-winged bird on the top of the tree.
There was a line of small characters in the lower right corner of the fan, which Haige recognized as the Earth script, which read: Wedel-U Star, my hometown I miss.
Bypassing the entrance and entering the hall, Hai Ge tried to restrain himself from making a sound, but there was a burst of amazement in his heart.
The hall is resplendent with chandeliers in a curved dome that appear to be made of golden amber, with faint crystals on the outside and paleontological motifs on the inside. There are flowers, birds, insects and fish in the pattern, but they are not paintings, but fossils of paleontology on the earth that have really existed for 10,000 years.
On the right hand side of the hall, a translucent partition separates the reading area. It clings to the walls and is filled with black bookshelves. The bookshelves may be made of sandalwood, but although they are dark in color, they emit a refreshing aroma that smells refreshing and must help you concentrate on reading.
All the shelves are filled with books, and the so-called books are as thin as metal sheets. Hai Ge quietly stretched out a finger, and a virtual electronic window with the title and content introduction floating out of the book in front of him.
