Chapter 119: ...... After Years of Plate Drift
The spores are sorted out and returned to the dead, and the plates are sinking and floating and the continents are replaced.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The orbit is close to the middle ...... Attitude control is approaching ......"
The bright searchlight overshadowed the starry sky, shining straight through the porthole, and the dazzling white light lasted only a brief time before it was fleeting.
Several metal hooks flew through the outside, clinging to the armor plates of the 5.5 exterior with long wires, and the wires began to slowly wrap around the entire ship.
"Slow tumbling preparation...... Start collecting work ......"
Soon, the screeching sound of glass and metal rubbing against metal was heard from all over the hull, Xinglan raised her head and looked at several small metal balls covered with barbs strung on the straight wire, quickly sliding through the window, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It should be okay to collect it this way." ”
"Is my sister collecting the spores of the source spores?" Xijie stretched out his furry claws and gently patted the glass, watching the small balls covered with barbs on the opposite side of the glass quickly roll across the surface of the spaceship, wrapped in white spores, and then slid along the cableway into a brightly lit scientific research ship with a huge gap in the armor plate, "So do we need to wait here for a while?" ”
Xing Lan nodded listlessly: "Yes, although the spores of the source spores are not afraid of the flames caused by the friction of the atmosphere, it is very likely that they will not know which corner they will fall under the impact of the violent air current, so it is better to collect all the spores on the shell in space and return to the surface of the planet at the Death Base." ”
"Well, by the way, the thunder moon made by my sister is really beautiful to look at it up close." Shioyu sighed as he looked at the purple satellite outside the window with electric light.
"No, strictly speaking, Lei Zhiyue should be Xiao Cheng's work." Xinglan shook her head a little stunned, "It's a pity that he doesn't know how long he will have to lie in the hibernation pod for a long time......"
"Is that the brother Xiao Cheng who stayed with his sister?" Xijie blinked, "I'm really curious, I really want to see him in person." ”
"Well, there will definitely be opportunities in the future." Xinglan squinted at the dazzling star that was slowly emerging from above the Qing Death not far away, "I also want to show him this world full of life......
……
After confirming that the spore had been successfully cleaned and collected, even though the shell had become tattered and even a large piece of it was missing, Five-Point Five, accompanied by the only remaining shuttle, began to lower the height of the orbit and prepare to enter the electric clouds of the dead.
"I feel the feeling of microgravity." Xiyu lay on the floor, his sapphire eyes looked at the electric clouds that were getting closer and closer outside the glass, and there was a sudden hint of nervousness in his voice, "Sister, is it really okay to let five o'clock and five go in like this......"
"I'm not sure~" Xinglan smiled maliciously, slowed down the flight trajectory by braking the engine, and then swooped down into the thick clouds with lightning flashing in the exclamation of the tide knot!
The rapidly increasing sense of gravity, the ubiquitous oppression of acceleration and the overwhelming impact of lightning are definitely more exciting than any roller coaster, Xijie screamed in surprise and jumped into Xinglan's arms and closed his eyes, saying that he didn't dare to look at anything.
Of course, Xinglan wouldn't really crash the spaceship directly into the Raft Electric Cloud gas layer, let alone the current 5.5, even the 5.5 that was in its peak state when it first set off would be finished. Just when the tip of 5.5 was still hundreds of meters away from the electric clouds, the clouds in front of Huo Ran opened a hole, and the nail-shaped spacecraft roared into the relatively calm atmosphere......
The creation of local atmospheric cavities by closing surface gas vents for short periods of time, especially with accurate timing, is a very computationally intensive task.
Finally, after ten minutes, the long, frustrated spacecraft returned to the launch platform from which it had departed...... The original platform had been wiped out over the years, and now it was the product of countless replacement parts, just like the base beneath it that would constantly renew itself. In short, after a violent shock, the hull finally calmed down completely, and the antimatter engines gradually shut down one by one.
"It's a little faint compared to Lan Xing, but this familiar sense of gravity is surprisingly comfortable." Xinglan finally relaxed, looking at Xijie who still refused to open her eyes in her arms, she couldn't help laughing, if it weren't for this little guy, maybe she would have destroyed 5.5 in space directly with this robot body after collecting the spores, and it would have saved her the effort to find a way to land this tattered spaceship on the surface, "We've all arrived on the ground, and I'll throw you alone on the spaceship if you don't open your eyes." ”
"To ...... Is it there? Shioyu timidly opened his eyes and looked out the window at the background of a complex metal machine and a purple sky, "This is ......"
Xing Lan sighed: "Sure enough, your previous memories are still a little vague?" This is the base of departure, do you remember when you were so bored that you gnawed on the alloy wall...... Ah, don't bite me! ”
Xinglan quickly pulled her fingers out of Xijie's mouth, puffed out her face in anger, and slammed Xijie to the ground...... For Xiao Mi Xin's size, even a height of one meter four was more than enough to knock it down, and then Xinglan did something that made Xijie stunned: she also bit Xijie's claws hard......
“…… My sister is really changing. Ahh Knowing tone.
"It's not all said!"
……
Half an hour later......
"The time scales that each chaotic jump spans are truly staggering." Xinglan walked in the metal corridor illuminated by pale white light, the building here had recovered from the long vacuum, the environmental control system began to re-do the work of air circulation and humidity adjustment, and Xijie also quieted down, and followed behind her honestly, "I just checked the base master system, although we only made one directional jump and one chaotic jump this time, not as many times as before, but we still directly skipped about 170 million years in the timeline. ”
"1700 million years ......" Xijie struggled for a moment, and then replied calmly, "It's completely unimaginable. ”
"Poof, then don't think about it, if you like, you can go and talk to the guy who has been dumped on the planet for so many years to spend time on this experience."
Xijie raised his paw and scratched the hair on his body: "...... Thrown on the planet for so many years? Could it be that there are other life forms on the planet that can live so long? ”
"Well, well, I'll have a chance to introduce you to that guy who passed away in the future, after all, we can't contact him now." The closed metal door automatically slid open in front of Xing Lan, and she stepped inside, "Xiao Xijie quickly follow up, I'll show you the current Lan Xing first." ”
Shioyu jumped a few steps into the dark room, the metal door slid behind it automatically, and the projectors installed in various corners of the room lit up brightly, projecting colorful spheres in the center of the empty room.
"Sister, is this the current Lan Xing?" Shiekyu walked to the middle, curiously reaching out his paw to touch those beautiful spots of light.
"Well, I can't directly project complex graphics like Yuchen, so I can only use a projector to show it." Xing Lan clapped his hands lightly, and on the left side of the Lan Xing projection, a very similar, but completely different projection of the continent appeared, "This is the Lan Star when we set off, and this is the current Lan Xing." ”
Xijie tilted his head to look to the left and then to the right, with a deep blankness in his eyes.
"I can't see it...... I said," Xinglan laughed, pointing to the outline of the land on the planet's surface, "That's right, if I hadn't investigated the changes of the continental shelf in detail, it would have been difficult for me to guess such a huge geological change." ”
"The impact of the space gate that only existed for a short time on the earth's crust was so great that even with the purpose of renewing species by the way, I would still hesitate whether it was worth it." Xinglan apologetically marked a small red dot on the image, and her slender finger lightly swiped the figure, "The Yuan Continent was torn apart by the changes in the earth's crust, the upper part drifted to near the Arctic Circle, and the lower half sank all the way to the Tropic of Cancer and the equator, so let's simply name the Northern Yuan Continent and the Southern Yuan Continent." ”
"The shape of the macro continent has changed a lot of details, but the general location is still a little south near the equator, so you don't have to worry too much about this, but this is a dense belt of biological races, which is worth exploring."
"Strange...... Not only the macro continents, but even the polar continents do not have much scale shift. Xinglan frowned slightly, looking at the continent in the southern hemisphere that seemed to be outside the world, "It is also stable in the area near the South Pole." ”
"Isn't that weird?" Xijie looked up a little tired from looking up, so he skillfully jumped onto Xinglan's shoulder and looked at the projection in front of him, "Maybe it's because the movement of the continental plate just hasn't affected me too much?" ”
"I don't think it should be...... This kind of structure is obviously a trigger that affects the whole body, so forget it and leave it alone. Xinglan ravaged with some irritation. Trampling his hair, he looked away, "I speculated about the New World before this place appeared, and it is a pity that the nuclear radiation contaminated land in the middle of the southern hemisphere is also a pity for this vast land." The leakage of the silver tungsten metal sphere, which stores a large amount of radioactive elements, prevents the nuclear radiation in the air here from easily dissipating with the passage of time, and it is still a gray continent without vegetation, so it is simply called a nuclear continent. ”
"Strange, where did the Star Continent go?" After seeing the location of the planet projection on the left, Shiojie strangely searched around the planet on the right, "What about the continent I was born in?" ”
"Nope." Xing Lan stretched out her hand and fiddled with the projection on the right, enlarging the broken archipelago in the picture, "The plate of the Star Continent has declined, and the small islands have all sunk, and only some of the large islands are still partially left on the surface of the sea...... Do you feel sad? ”
"I can't remember it, how can I be sad...... Sister is a fool! Xijie's eyes were a little gloomy, and it could be seen that she was not really so calm, she tilted her head slightly, "This island, let's call it the Shattered Star Islands, to commemorate the former Star Continent ......"
"Yes, listen to you." Xinglan touched Xijie's little head and comforted with a smile, "Okay, let's go as soon as I fix the mechanical arm that I broke just now, okay?" ”
"Go?"
"Well, go to the field and see the current Lan Xing, the Lan Xing of the Sixth Age."
