Chapter 15: Space City
"Mr. Minister." Two black guards saluted Mars politely.
"Uncle Mars, are you alright?" Hammond stared at Wu Feng with unkind eyes, he was standing in front of the two guards, and he actually held a pistol in his hand! Wu Feng glanced at Hammond in disgust, the white man who looked to be forty years old obviously did not have an IQ that matched his age.
"Hammond, you bastard, who are you scaring with this thing? Fuck off! Marles snatched the pistol from Hammond's hand, shoved it into the black guard with a bewildered face, and shoved the three out of the door, "Fuck off, fuck off!" This attracted the attention of many people passing by the door, but they did not stop to watch. Wu Feng silently watched Mars's actions, sneering in his heart, the trace of good feeling that had just risen was gone, it seemed that this old man was also very wary of himself, but he deliberately pretended to be such a face.
"Minister, I said you wouldn't let them in, but Hammond won't listen to ......me," Ruoshan Lan carefully clarified.
"Okay, you guys go back too, I'll take Mr. Wu to see his partner."
Wu Feng walked out of the room and slowly glanced around, and he found himself in a huge cylinder.
The walkway in front of it is nearly four meters wide, and it has a half-human-high guardrail on the outside, and the outside of the guardrail is hollowed out! In the center of the hollowed-out area is a huge cylinder nearly ten meters thick, with no end in sight. With this column as the center, dozens or hundreds of passages layer upon layer divided the space into dozens of levels, and there were busy people walking around on each floor, and he was now on the highest floors. Wu Feng looked up, there was a very thick looking mechanical door in the center of the pointed vault, and there was a small round platform on one side of the mechanical door, and at the end of the round platform was connected to an escalator that spiraled upward, Wu Feng couldn't understand this strange design at all. There are many amazing black cracks around the mechanical door, these cracks are embedded with minerals that emit a faint white halo, they continue to emit a faint light, and there seems to be a slight heat, Wu Feng doesn't know what kind of ore this is, and what the function is. He observed for a while, and at the same time, he was amazed by the grandeur of the building, and at the same time, he also noticed a problem, there were no windows here, not a single one.
"Is this what you call Space City?" Wu Feng pointed to the outside and turned his head to ask Mars.
"Yes, Mr. Wu." Mars looked at Wu Feng with interest, he came to Wu Feng's side, put his hands behind his back, and said proudly, "I believe you must be very shocked, this city in space has nearly 100,000 citizens, and this only occupies one-forty-fifth of its total usable area. Passed down from generation to generation, it is already the only dwelling place of mankind in the future, the real first world! ”
"So big!" Wu Feng was even more shocked. This space city seems to be far larger than it seems, with a site that can accommodate nearly 4.5 million people, which is already the size of a county seat.
"Yes." Mars gestured with his hand from top to bottom, "There are ten of them in such a large area as you see, and this is just one of them. There are schools, there are markets, there are governments, there are parliaments, there are people from all walks of life, we have a complete social system and a solid social framework, and the level of development of civilization has not lagged behind the earth. ”
"Did you Americans build this place?"
"No, no, where did you hear that?" Mars smiled. The white-haired old man pointed to the milky white mineral embedded in the vault and said, "Do you see that these things look like ores from the earth?" Moreover, with the technological level of the earth in the mid-nineteenth century, even the Russians could not have built the smallest buildings in outer space, let alone such a billion-ton space city......"
"And who built it? How did you get here? ”
Mars paused suddenly, he shook his head, and said, "I can't answer these two questions directly. When you meet Ms. McEndre, she'll tell you everything you want to know. ”
"Who the hell is McEntyre?" Wu Feng and Mars walked side by side, and they stopped in front of a closed door. Through the window on the wall, Wu Feng saw a cylinder with several pipes inserted into it lying flat. Wu Feng pushed the door in, and Mars followed behind him.
"Ms. McIntyre, she is the spiritual support of the First World, the supreme leader of the ten regions, and the indirect founder of Bergess." Mars's voice was a little agitated, "Every time Ms. McCantyre appears, it brings us great boon, and the last time we saw her was twenty-six years ago, when I had just become the Minister of Security for Lunar Death 2. It's exciting to think about. Because of your appearance, after many years, I am fortunate to be able to see the great silver phoenix descend. ”
Mars's words revealed a strong religious flavor, and Wu Feng's mind had already conjured up the image of an old, chattering old woman. He was curious about the huge building, and even more curious about the people here. But there were no stars, no maps, not even a window to watch the outside world, and Wu Feng didn't even know where he was now, which kept his heart hanging in the air. When he rushed out of the earth, he had not seen such a huge structure outside of the earth, near the moon. If it did exist, with its size, even if it wasn't discovered by itself, its location would have been shown on the radar at the time.
Wu Feng decided to wait for the McKentyre lady to appear, he was no longer prepared to ask Marles anything, and from his secretive tone and deliberately evasive attitude, Wu Feng thought that even he did not know where he was in space.
Wu Feng came to the cylinder full of tubes, which looked like an advanced life support cabin. Through the glass at the top, Wu Feng quietly watched Adrian lying in the life support cabin. The black uncle's hair and beard had turned white, his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked no different from Mars, who looked to be at least seventy years old.
Wu Feng's eyes widened and widened, and the strange right eye almost jumped out of its socket. "I, what the hell am I...... Result...... How, how could he ......" Wu Feng couldn't even say a complete sentence, and a storm set off in his heart, how many years had passed quietly in his deep sleep before Adrian became what he is now? Broad's plan, the Earth that is about to become the Death Star, his last relatives, how much he has missed! Wu Feng was suddenly extremely annoyed, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "How long have I been asleep?" ”
Wu Fengsenbai's right eye slashed at Mars's body like a scythe that hooked the soul, and Mars only felt that his entire body was frozen by that gaze and couldn't move, "Mr. Wu, don't be nervous, don't be nervous!" Mars shuddered, and at the age of seventy he could not remember how many years he had not experienced such fear, "You, you have only slept for two days!" Oh no, according to the time system of the earth, you only slept for 55 days, only slept for 55 days! ”
"55 days? Less than two months? So, What happened to Adrian? Why did he age like this! What the hell happened to him? Take me to see the others! Wu Feng was a little incredulous, his brain was racing, Wu Feng knew that his appearance had not changed, and he could still feel the power contained in his young body.
"Mr. Wu, there's no need to intimidate an old man, let's talk."
At the door of the ward stood a woman, a young girl who looked to be only twenty years old, to be exact. Wu Feng didn't know when she was standing there, silently, her strange silver hair hung down on her waist, and her wide white clothes wrapped her whole body, which was very different from what everyone was wearing, and it looked out of place.
"Oh my God, the great Silver Phoenix, Lady Mackentyre, you, you're here!"
