Chapter 8: Time Tunnel
When the end came, the residents of Maple Grove Town saw a different scene. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When a huge light a hundred times brighter than the sun's rays shone in the mountains, a black cloud rose into the sky and spread out in the sky like water waves.
Around the town and in the sky above, in a semi-circular sky, there was a sudden sound of continuous light dripping like silk strings, and the metal rods on those high cylinders emitted dazzling brilliance, and on the semicircular canopy supported by the scriptures, there seemed to be countless invisible raindrops hitting it, splashing colorful ripples.
Lin Yingying pointed to the half-colorful canopy and said, "Grandpa Li, look, it's so beautiful!" What is that? Did the rainbow break and fall? Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, that's the true color of the sun!" ā
The black clouds soon flooded in and drowned out the sun, and the heavens and the earth were suddenly eclipsed. The sky was so dark, and people felt a kind of fear. The sky is so shiny, countless colors are flying in and out, and people are like being in a fairy tale world in a dream. In this piece of brilliance, the people in the town seem to become transparent.
What's going on?
A rumbling sound came from nowhere, and at last the earth trembled, and the ground beneath his feet shook like a boat in a stormy sea.
The whole world is shaking. The sky was full of brilliance, and the sky beyond the canopy had long since disappeared. There were more and more colored lights, and finally the whole small semicircle of the world was reflected, and the houses became transparent, and even people's bodies became crystal-like, as if they were transparent.
Suddenly, the world shook violently, and the whole world fell silent, and calm returned to his feet. Just when people were secretly rejoicing, their bodies suddenly lost their weight, and they seemed to be no longer their own.
The people of the town spent twenty-four hours on the clock in this wonderful world.
Barracks, in conference rooms. The conference room was already full of people, including Lin Yuan and some generals of the army, those mysterious men in black, as well as Li Yuan and some of his scientist friends, and a group of people, the mayor and party secretary of Fenglin Town, as well as some grassroots cadres.
The mayor of the town already had a lot of questions in his heart, and he couldn't wait to say, "General, what is going on?" Lin Yuan said: "Mayor Town, what I want to tell you is that in order to prevent any unexpected situations that may arise, we need to have military control here. The mayor said, "Of course, it's a time of war, so of course it's okay." But you should let us know what's going on, right? ā
Li Yuandao: "Mayor Town, I'm sorry that we've been hiding it from everyone, but we have no choice but to do this." You should also understand that we are under attack. Mayor nodded and said, "I know, we must have been nuclearized!" But I am even more strange that we are not dead, because I can still feel the pain. ā
"Yes," Li Yuan said again, "we are not dead, we are walking through the passage of time." We will go to the world of the future. However, anything can happen, we may return to the world of the past, or it is possible that death and hell await us ahead! I don't know what kind of future we will encounter. Wait, wait patiently for fate to arrange for us humans. ā
The colored light flowed through the sky, and finally fell into the tallest and largest cylindrical metal ball in the middle of the town. What an amazing scene!
The rumors of the passage of time and space did not go away, and the residents became uneasy. Military control orders have been issued, and people are confined to their homes, helplessly worried. But when groups of heavily armed soldiers began to patrol the town, people's hearts slowly relaxed. After all, if there is an army, there will be nothing wrong, and the people's soldiers will always be trustworthy.
Time passed second by second in a waiting full of speculation. The colors in the sky gradually thinned, but the world outside the canopy was still chaotic, and nothing could be seen.
When the colored light finally faded completely, the weight returned to everyone's body. People feel like they're back. Didn't you belong to yourself before? What a strange feeling!
The world is plunged into darkness again. But Li Yuan knew that the journey of time should have come to an end. But what will the outside world, the world of the future, look like? Lin Yuan sat there quietly, in fact, in his heart, he was more anxious than Li Yuan to know the situation outside.
Finally, a ray of light flashed in the darkness, and the whole world suddenly lit up. People rushed to the windows. Sky! I saw the sky!
But, is that the sky? A hazy piece of gray, is that our sky?
As far as the eye can see, gray stretches. The whole world seems to have only this one color. "Attention Aviation Regiment! Red Dragonfly One, ready to go! Lin Yuan took out the walkie-talkie and gave an order, he really couldn't hold back anymore.
The Red Dragonfly is a reconnaissance aircraft, which is small in size and is an unmanned remote-controlled helicopter. This is a tactical reconnaissance aircraft that China has only recently developed, and its small body and stealth materials make it have no need to worry about being detected by enemy radar on the battlefield. Because it resembles a dragonfly, it has such a name. It uses electric energy, and due to its small energy consumption, long-distance and long-term reconnaissance capabilities make it also have a certain strategic reconnaissance capability.
In the command hall of the division headquarters, the images from the Red Dragonfly No. 1 were continuously displayed on the big screen. The cement pillars that formed a circle were naturally the buildings of the previous space-time passage. The outside of the circle is also the land.
It's nothing more than a gray piece of land. The camera's perspective begins to move forward. Further ahead, it was a flat wilderness, still a gray world. Occasionally, a few different colors are embellished, and the picture is magnified, and it is a clump of green plants, a thatch-like plant that has never been seen before, sparsely scattered in the wilderness, which looks extremely desolate.
Red Dragonfly One was still slowly searching, when suddenly something seemed to flicker on the screen and disappeared again. "There's something!" Someone shouted. The screen is reversed and zoomed in. Unfortunately, the moment was too fast, and only a hazy shadow could be seen on the screen, and it was impossible to see what it was.
"There are signs of life!" The person in front of the monitoring station shouted: "There were signs of life from the life detector of Red Dragonfly No. 1 just now, but they quickly disappeared again!" Lin Yuan stood up abruptly and said, "Which unit is closest to that direction?" ā
"Three regiments and five battalions!" An officer replied from behind. He is Han Xu, the chief of staff of the division headquarters. "Okay, order them at once, send a platoon to find them! If you can bring back something that moves, credit it all once! ā
"Wait!" A voice came from outside the door, and a scientist-like figure walked in. "Who is this?" Lin Yuan asked. Li Yuan hurriedly introduced: "He is my friend, astronomer Professor Link. Link said: "You should tell them to wear protective clothing and oxygen masks, otherwise you will harm them!" ā
Hearing these words, everyone suddenly felt a little depressed. "Lack of oxygen?!" A thought entered Lin Yuan's mind.
"At present, the oxygen content in the air is only 80% of the normal level, and it is preliminarily determined that it is caused by the lack of combustion, which should be caused by a large amount of oxygen burned off during the nuclear explosion. The scarcity of plants is also the most likely major cause of the drop in oxygen levels! Another man walked in.
"Biologist, Zhao Xin." Li Yuan introduced: "They don't usually show up, so the general doesn't know each other yet. Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Two professors, please take a seat!" I'd love to know what you both think of the current situation! Please advise! ā
"The ultraviolet rays are very strong outdoors now, and the ozone layer has not stopped the ultraviolet rays at all, or the ozone layer has disappeared at all!" Anyone who goes outdoors without protection can suffer serious radiation damage! As for the rest, I can't tell! ā
Lin Yuan asked again: "Then, can the nuclear radiation protective suit withstand ultraviolet rays?" Link said, "Of course you can!" Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good!" Luckily, we had enough nuclear radiation suits in advance! ā
"Logistics? I'm Han Xu. Immediately distribute nuclear radiation protective suits, one per person! The stock of protective clothing will be handed over to the town government according to the number of people, and one will be distributed to each resident of the town! Attention, announce it, no one is allowed to go out without wearing protective clothing! Han Xu put down the phone and asked, "Is there anything else that you professors need to pay attention to?" ā
Li Yuandao: "I still need one thing, I need a handful of soil outside the town." Lin Yuanqi said: "What does Professor Li want to do with this?" Li Yuan said: "I want to test the lifetime of the atom to determine our current time!" ā
Li Yuan had already locked himself in his small room for a full hour, and Lin Yuan could only wait. The news has just come from the communications office that any contact with the outside world has failed.
This seems to be true. Li Yuan's door finally opened, people gathered around, Li Yuan stood at the door, and said solemnly: "Through the lifetime test of carbon atoms in the two places, I can now officially announce: We have come to the future world more than 11,000 years later!" ā
The crowd fell silent. Han Xu hurriedly ran over and said, "Division commander, the special operations team is back, bring back something!" Lin Yuan hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go and have a look!" ā
At the headquarters of the division, a group of soldiers of the Einsatzgruppen returned carrying a cloth bag. A soldier unfastened the bag, and the first thing everyone saw was a bloody leg, which had been wounded by a gunshot wound. "It's so hard to catch! It's so flexible, and it will go underground! A soldier said.
The sack was completely peeled off, and a monster half a meter long appeared in front of the people. It has the same straight shape as a human, with pointed claws, a thin short tail, a layer of fine long hair all over its body, a layer of some kind of linen cloth wrapped around its body, a pointed nose, and a pair of large flexible eyes that look in horror at the group of animals in front of it that it has never seen before.
"This is ......" Everyone was shocked, but no one said it.
