Chapter 5: The Black Ocean
The standard height of the ridge of 2.4 meters and the abundance of glass make this restaurant feel like a big house. Sunlight streaming in from floor-to-ceiling windows is a stunning ocean view that dominates the interior.
The abundance of glass makes this tiny dining room feel like a big room. The whole house exudes the charming scent of fresh wood.
Floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning ocean views.
"It's so beautiful!" Suzaku cried out in a lost voice.
"Wow, wow, wow," came the sound of a child crying.
Luo Chuan's gaze followed.
In the southwest corner of the restaurant, a pile of toys fell to the floor, and the child was still crying in his mother's arms.
A large wheeled box, no different in appearance from the plastic storage boxes used in homes on Earth, except for a pair of eyes and a row of colored lights. It was spinning its eyes, flashing its lights, and was circling the floor around the child's dining table, only to see it stop next to the toy, as if staring at it with its eyes, while swaying its body, emitting colored lights, and reaching out with a tentacle to put the toy on the floor back into the box.
Once all the toys were arranged, the tentacles of the big roller box were put back.
Luo Chuan couldn't help but let out an "ah".
"That's the toy collection box," said the white tiger, wiping his mouth with a tissue.
"It's amazing." Luo Chuan turned his head and said.
"Although this planet is not very different from Earth on the surface, it is actually very different. You'll find out later. Suzaku explained as he stared at Luo Chuan with big eyes.
Xuanwu didn't look up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It didn't take long for only the flesh and bones of Beicheng roast duck to be left on the table.
The drawer in the table popped open, and two tentacles protruded from either side of the drawer at the same time, collecting the plates and flesh and bone remains on the table into the drawer in the table.
Luo Chuan's originally raised arm stopped in mid-air.
He was amazed by everything about this planet.
Suzaku pointed at Luo Chuan's stupid look and laughed "haha".
The white tiger smiled and leaned back and forth.
Even Xuanwu, who usually doesn't smile, showed a hint of a smile.
Xuanwu danced lightly with a folding fan, as if after careful consideration, and said word by word, "It's time to go back." ”
At this moment, black water appeared on the floor of the restaurant, emitting a foul smell.
Luo Chuan covered his nose and didn't dare to breathe.
The water was accumulating, but his feet and legs didn't feel the slightest feeling of being surrounded by water.
Only the nose can smell the stench, the ears can hear the sound of the water, and the eyes can see the black, viscous liquid.
It doesn't seem accurate to say that this goo is water.
At this moment, a huge image appeared in mid-air.
A man in a suit sits in a huge office.
In addition to a desk and a chair, all that remains of the office is the transparent walls.
"Students, the black sea scene that just appeared at the headquarters of the undersea school is to let you remember the damage caused to us by the dark galaxy 98 years ago."
Suddenly, the entire undersea school headquarters was unusually quiet.
That's right, these black goo visions are the sea water above the school, and they have been working hard for 98 years, but they still haven't completely purified it.
The entire interstellar space, including the Andromeda Galaxy, the Solar System, the Outer Solar System, and some other unknown small galaxies, water has become a headache.
The root of all this is that 98 years ago, the Dark Galaxy threw an apple-sized "destruction ball" into the interstellar space, and in an instant, the water of the entire interstellar space turned into an unpurified goo, the forests all disappeared, and the total human population dropped from 10 billion to 100 million.
The surviving humans realized that they had to make some changes to their bodies in order to adapt to this new interstellar space, and after 48 years of hard work, they finally developed the "Star Protector" 40 years ago.
Luo Chuan looked at the stinking sea water illusion on the ground, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
"This water is the sea water above our school" The man stood up from his desk and raised his fist, "98 years ago, how beautiful our planet was, it was rated as the most valuable planet in the interstellar world for 20 consecutive years, and the entire interstellar planet was proud of the prosperity of the core planet. ”
"But now, the blue ocean has become eternal black water, and people either live in the dome of the bottom of the sea, or on Penglai Immortal Island above the ocean."
"And you," the emotions intensified, "you are our hope"
"Forty years ago, a great scientist on our planet began to modify the genes of the human body, opening up the potential genes of human beings, and the "Star Protector" was born in an emergency. Just like your current body, you can unleash your potential anytime and anywhere, and we are gradually gaining the upper hand. ”
"Now, the Dark System has been sent back to their homeland, and we will have time to renovate our home."
Luo Chuan stared motionlessly at the huge screen.
The man on the screen speaks sonorously and impassionedly.
Luo Chuan's heart also seemed to ignite a flame.
"You are the new generation of star masters, and the star high school is the place to train star masters, and I believe that in the near future, you will become the pride of the stars."
Suddenly, the restaurant burst into thunderous applause.
"Star Protector, Guardian Home"
"Star Protector, Guardian Home"
Then, the black water on the ground disappeared, and the transparent screen in the air disappeared with it.
In a large office, a man in a suit and leather shoes sat back at his desk.
"Headmaster" the young girl gently placed a thick stack of kelp paper on her desk, "This is a document from the Interstellar Science Committee. Please take a look at it. ”
That's right, the man who just gave a speech to the entire Yuxing High School is the principal of Yuxing High School, Yu Chimu.
He still has no wife and no children, not because he is ugly, not because he has no time, and not because of any psychological problems.
On the contrary, although he is nearly 60 years old, he is radiant and dignified, and there is no trace of age on his face.
After receiving genetic modification, the "Star Protector" will remain young for a long time, as for how long this young state can be maintained, it is not known, but in the case of Yu Chimu, it is still possible to stay young forever for decades.
He just turns 50 today, and he was one of the first volunteers to be genetically modified to become a "star bearer" 40 years ago.
In his 30-year career as a teacher and the ongoing 10-year career as a principal, he has made it his life's work to train "star masters".
He once swore to the supreme head of the core planet that "one day will not restore the homeland, and one day will not think about personal problems." ”
No one loves this school more than he does, and that's a phrase he often says.
"Headmaster," the young girl asked softly, "the committee has just heard from them, and they must be answered within a month. ”
He clutched the papers, his face solemn.
