Chapter 07: The Age of Soaking

The night sky, far from mainland China, is also as vast as the sea.

Dotted with stars, the starry sky on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean is forever dotted. There is no wind, the moon has not yet risen, and the sky appears deep and mysterious. The earth was as still as a virgin, and the white light masks lay peacefully in the arms of the mother.

Everything seems so harmonious and beautiful.

However, what is invisible to the eyes is that there are countless crises quietly brewing under the night sky, and there are also countless games going on. Those seemingly wonderful star spots may be an alien spaceship that can bring great disasters, and maybe the next moment, the ghostly little demons will suddenly appear in the empty black sky.

Huaxia rules the global village, but in the true sense, he only rules the daylight of the planet. No matter how beautiful the night is, it doesn't belong to his world. The farther away this situation is from the East Asian continent, the more pronounced it feels.

As far as the city of Cambridge is concerned, the city government has a clear decree: return home at sunset, and do not sail at night.

Xiao Zhang sat on the windowsill of his house, quietly looking at the starry sky. In the dining room next door, Ji Lanhua and the black-faced father were still drinking each other, making whispers and simple laughter, they were enjoying life and enjoying the happiness that their son suddenly brought them.

The 'Clean Treasure' in his mind rotated steadily, and nothing changed except for the scale being a little higher.

In fact, this is just a performance, just like the starry sky outside, the essence is always hidden in the darkness. Xiao Zhang had already noticed the subtle changes in himself, especially after absorbing the red and blue light rods of Director Qiao's Daystar Shuttle, the changes were particularly obvious.

At least he felt that his reaction was much faster, his insight was much sharper, and his body strength was much greater, and the slap from the black-faced father was no longer lightning fast, and he even had an impulse, whether it was an opportunity to secretly repair the black-faced father and tell him that he was no longer a bear son.

It was the last night before school started, the last night he walked towards the dawn to meet the light. From this moment on, he officially bid farewell to the 21st century, farewell to yesterday, and farewell to the era when he was ignorant and bullied by others.

The dawn was still flickering at the edge of the shield, and Xiao Zhang was awakened by the sound of a propeller explosion.

Pushing open the window, the sky was still dark, and the outside of the shield was gray.

The two shuttles parked on the side of the yard were missing, and there was one more helicopter with the August 1st badge and the word WZ80 painted on it. This helicopter is similar to the first professional armed helicopter equipped by the military in the 21st century, the Wuzhi Shi.

Wuzhi Shi, also known as Thunderbolt, was developed by Changhe Design and Research Institute and manufactured by Hafei. Under full load, it has the ability to resist armor, dense fire support, and effectively deal with all kinds of soft and hard targets.

When Xiao Zhang was in the academy, he had the honor to participate in the evaluation and test of Wuzhi 10 once, and also experienced its flight control ability under the leadership of test pilots. THE WUZHI 10 IS A TANDEM TWO-PERSON STRUCTURE, THE REAR COMPARTMENT IS MAINLY RESPONSIBLE FOR DRIVING, THE FRONT CABIN IS MAINLY RESPONSIBLE FOR FIRE STRIKES, THE CHASSIS AND SIDE ARMOR DEFENSE IS STRONG, AND IT CAN WITHSTAND THE CLOSE-RANGE STRAFING OF 12.7MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT MACHINE GUNS.

The WZ80 in front of him is an upgraded N-generation gunship, he has never piloted it before, but for children in the 28th century, this helicopter is as simple as a toy, and there are really many children who play with it as a toy.

As long as there is a shuttle driving license issued by the Chinese government, all the eliminated helicopter models can be piloted freely, without any air traffic management fees, and are also protected by the air police.

Xiao Zhang understands the painstaking efforts of his parents, and they want to take a eliminated helicopter for themselves. This yard does not have a subway interface, so it can only be flown over from the air. The distance from Harvard Middle School is about three to five minutes by shuttle, and at least twenty minutes by helicopter.

A crack opened in the door of the small room, and Ji Lanhua walked in wearing the orchid nightdress with a smile and a blue and white schoolbag in her hand.

"Zhang'er, today you went to Harvard Middle School alone, and your parents are busy and don't have time to accompany you. You are a man now, and you must learn to take responsibility. I remember that I must arrive at school before five o'clock, the first thing is to change into a cleaning uniform, collect and take away all the garbage on the school points, the cleaning robot I have asked your dad to arrange in place, the operating procedures have also been planned, a total of 1024 places, after the completion of the personal once, can not leave any dead ends, can not see the ground falling a piece of confetti or leaves. Ji Lan Lace handed over the schoolbag and took the trouble to explain.

"Don't worry, Mom, I promise to complete the task!" Xiao Zhang gave his mother a military salute, and then carried his schoolbag neatly behind him.

Ji Lanhua is still not at ease: "Zhang'er, remember one thing, garbage first, study second, if the cleaning work is not completed, you are not allowed to enter the classroom, and you are not allowed to play with other classmates and friends!" ”

"Mmmm, garbage is my mother, study is my father, it must be treated correctly." Xiao Zhang nodded solemnly.

"Little cub, your mother is garbage in your eyes? I'm telling you, you have to take time out of your spare time every day to check on those cleaning robots, don't let them stop......" Ji Lanhua feigned anger and said.

"Okay, okay, if you don't talk about it, I won't be able to make it to school at six o'clock." Xiao Zhang hurriedly interrupted Ji Lanhua's words, and dodged out of the room, leaving only his mother with a thin back.

Xiao Zhang sat in the front cockpit of WZ80, put on the flight suit stacked on the side, and was roughly familiar with the cockpit layout.

Flying an airplane is about the same as driving a car, and in fact, it's easier than driving a car. The process is nothing more than a few points: familiarizing yourself with the cabin overview, checking the fuel system, checking the avionics system, checking the flight control system, and finally correcting the flight map.

Just as he opened the first check control, his left wrist suddenly vibrated and a palm-sized virtual watch floated from his wrist. The imaginary watch flashed rapidly a few times, and after the blue light passed, a thin little face appeared on the surface, which was his current appearance.

At the same time, a deep voice came out from the main flight display:

"Identification, Xiao Zhang, age: sixteen, senior at Harvard High School, student number: NO2700222; Home address: 13210, Cambridge, Boston, North America; Parent's occupation: the director and deputy director of the Cambridge North Blue Flower Garbage Station. Blood type: Type O; IQ value: 22. Given that the IQ value is too low, it is recommended to use the autopilot mode. After confirmation, you can take off. ”

Xiao Zhang shook his head and chuckled, although he was completely sure to control this helicopter, but in order to save his physical strength, he still accepted the helicopter's suggestion.

"Target: Harvard High School, Autonomous Driving!"

"Yes! Target search, target locked, Harvard: at a distance of two hundred and eight kilometers, flying at the third cruising speed, taking about twenty-eight minutes, now taking off. The helicopter answered.

After speaking, the helicopter automatically issued a series of commands, and in a whistling sound, the helicopter circled up, circled around the garbage building, and then flew diagonally to the southeast.

He glanced back and vaguely saw Mother Ji waving at him with tears in her eyes.

When the WZ80 helicopter passed through the light mask, the imaginary watch on Xiao Zhang's wrist surfaced again, emitting a few blue lights, which quickly retracted into his wrist, and the helicopter also flew out without hindrance, heading southeast under the pre-dawn sky.

Dawn is the most peaceful and silent time of the day, when evil and strifeth recede with the darkness and there is no sinister.

The helicopter flew smoothly at an altitude of three thousand meters. On the instrument screen, a set of data is conjured up from time to time: altitude: 3000M, cruising speed: 800KM, distance to target: 160KM, effective power range: 1800KM, high-energy particle radiation value: 90PM (good).

The instrument screen also shows that it is 4:28 a.m. New York time on September 1, 2713, and 16:28 Beijing time on September 1.

At an altitude of 3,000 meters, through the clouds, you can vaguely see a blue sky in the east, if there is no accident, it should be the Atlantic Ocean.

Xiao Zhang once came to Boston, that was in 2010 to attend an academic exchange at Harvard University, he flew over the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean in a Boeing 777 passenger plane, at that time, he saw the sea and the sky, in addition to the blue sea, there are also skyscrapers on the coastline.

However, now, there are no skyscrapers to be seen anymore, only countless giant light masks dotted on the ground, the largest ones are tens of miles in circumference and about 500 meters high; The ordinary ones are also ten miles in size. From a distance, these masks resemble large blisters growing on the earth.

In 2713, the reinforced concrete Boston was gone.

Humanity has entered the age of bubbles.
