The fusion reactor, suspended high at an altitude of 3,000 kilometers, began to work at a completely abnormal speed, and the strong magnetic coil used to hold the reactor core turned from dark red to bright yellow in a few seconds, and then was swallowed by the white ball of light at the reactor core, and the white light, which was dozens of times brighter than the real sun, instantly filled the sky, casting a vast white under the eyes.

Lin Xue's reminder was shouted a few seconds before the reactor exploded, which gave everyone time to react, although everyone didn't know why, but in the abrupt situation, someone shouted such a voice, and many people subconsciously chose to do it - just like if you suddenly yelled at the train station and fell down, someone will definitely lie down, although you will soon be pushed to the ground by the police uncle, but the effect of "sudden information appeal" is real. Lin Xue's shout made many people close their eyes at the moment of the reactor explosion.

I am not included......

Really, we are slow to react, if this girl had given a preventive shot a few minutes in advance, maybe I would have reacted.

His field of vision was still white, and not far away some people shouted in horror: "Eyes! My eyes! "I can't see anymore!"

Sandora snorted coldly, and a little mental oppression covered the square, making the townspeople who were almost completely in chaos due to the panic and commotion of a dozen people shudder, and then she said coldly: "Quiet, only temporarily blind." ”

After the mental oppression was removed, the people around them were obviously much calmer, but they could still hear uneasy whispered conversations. I blinked, and some figures blurred in my vision - although I had undergone a lot of ** strengthening, it seemed that "flashing blindness" was a normal function of the eye. I was tricked like those ordinary people.

Fortunately, there are many ways to observe the world realm now, and the meticulous mental power scan is much easier to use than the eyes, so he didn't care much about the pale in his field of vision for the time being, and just touched Lin Xue's elbow. muttered in a low voice, "Why didn't you remind me earlier?" ”

"Wood, are you so slow to react?" The eldest lady smiled mischievously, waved her hand in front of my eyes, and was knocked off by me: "Don't make trouble, you think you don't need your eyes to see things alone?" ”

Just like Sandora said. The white light just now was not enough to burn people's eyes, and even if it was blind, it was quite short-lived, and after a few minutes, the townspeople who had been hit by the extra-large flashbang recovered one after another, and I recovered a little earlier than them, and my naked eye vision was completely gone.

If the night before the flash of light was still dark, there was still a coil of red light providing illumination. Now the sky is really out of sight, and the dark red aura that was originally hanging in the sky has disappeared with the explosion, losing any light source, and the sky above is like a pure black curtain. The emptiness was vast, and the only light was the occasional tiny bright spot across the sky, the wreckage of the fusion reactor burning through space, but the last flash of light lasted less than ten minutes, and at the end, nothing was left.

There was a deathly silence in the square, and the townspeople looked around in bewilderment, their faces bewildered by the pale streetlights. What is happening now is something they have never experienced before, and they have never dared to imagine. Fusion furnaces hanging overhead will go out or even be blown to pieces. The impact on them may be no less than that of the earthlings who saw the sun turn green with their own eyes, and no one knew what they should do in such a situation, so all that left was to look around in fear, even more frightened after seeing the same uneasiness of others, but also find a sense of collective security.

After a while, I don't know who started the road, and there was a muffled voice from the crowd, which at first may have been talking to himself, but soon it became a spreading conversation:

"Greek said it, he kept talking about the reactor going out......"

"He? He's just a little crazy, isn't he? He also said that the ancient machines would also stop. ”

"But the fusion reactor is really finished now, although it wasn't made by the gods, but it's something left over from the age of the gods."

"Don't talk nonsense, there will definitely be a new reactor in the air, the church has a lot of ancient machines in their hands, they can use that to rebuild a fusion reactor......"

"I don't think it's reliable...... Do you still remember that when we were young, the public lights out time every day was three hours after dinner (the time unit of the Ruins World Realm), now it is two and a half hours, the lights out time of public lighting has been advanced, and the big energy furnace must not have enough power, as Gorrik said, all the energy furnaces have been used for at least 700,000 years......"

"Don't talk nonsense, Glick is just whimsical, he's a ......"

"My dad is not whimsical! He's a hero! ”

A young but exhausted voice suddenly pierced through the muffled whispers in the square, and little Grek struggled out of the crowd and stood in front of everyone and shouted, "My father has long said that all machines are going to break, and he said that he would find other big stars and bring us new reactors and synthesizers!" He's a hero, not a whim! ”

Such a little boy suddenly appeared in the square and shouted loudly, which suddenly made the people flutter for a moment, and Old Man Barnard looked at Glick in surprise: "Didn't you let you stay at home with the water droplets?" Now the situation is not good, children do not leave the room. ”

"I'm fourteen," Glick said loudly, his chest puffed up, trying to show his maturity, "I just saw a flash of light outside the room, isn't it a fusion furnace......"

Grek subconsciously glanced up at the sky in the middle of speaking, and what greeted him was the pitch black sky, and the place where the fusion furnace had been hung was already empty.

"Let's go home and wait, there should be news from Ayutthaya soon," Barnard coughed and said loudly, "Maybe a new fusion reactor is already on its way to lift-off, but it will take time." Today's work is canceled, and no one is allowed to leave the town, and preferably not to leave the room. Prepare something to keep warm, if the fusion reactor is shut down for too long, it will definitely blow cold wind...... Gorrik, you too. Hurry up and go back, you're fourteen years old, but Shuizhu is only nine years old, and she needs someone to take care of her. ”

Old Man Barnard's instructions were clear and resolute. Glick could only choose to obey unconditionally, and a few townsfolk who still had something to say nodded in agreement, and the crowd began to disperse after a while. The only ones left in the square were us and Old Man Barnard.

"I'm sorry, but there is no transportation in the town to take you back, and the road between here and the outside world is probably blocked by the darkness," the old man rubbed his hands anxiously and observed our expressions, "Until the fusion pile is repaired, I'm afraid a few guests from Dacheng will have to stay in the town for the time being......"

"It doesn't matter. Just experience life," Lin Xue habitually wanted to run the train with her mouth full, but I glared at her, and then her expression became serious. "Old man, do you really think the new fusion reactor will be in place anytime soon?"

Barnardwan didn't expect such a question from the guest from Ayutthaya, he paused for a moment, and then said hesitantly, "I don't know what to do...... But isn't that a given, those ancient things will always last, the priests said, 'their light will never be extinguished,' and the fusion pile will always be repaired. I wish the town hadn't been blown down by the cold winds until then. ”

"Yes, 'never extinguished'. Scold. Lin Xue repeated a few words in a noncommittal whisper, and shook her head imperceptibly. But without saying anything more, we first said goodbye to the old man and found Glick's hut.

The hut was still lit with that warm pale yellow light, and unlike what I had seen on previous visits, it was much cleaner after being cleaned up, and many of the broken parts had found their proper purpose, and the machines and equipment that had been assembled into a sleek, sleek, place where they could be used, or at least less occupied. Greek was sitting at his tin table, in a daze, with a half-eaten loaf of bread in front of him, which we had brought last night, and the droplets of water curled up in a large chair in the corner of the room, huddled on their knees, with a frightened shadow in their eyes.

In fact, just repairing the fusion reactor is a breeze for all of us, but the current situation is definitely not as simple as the scrapping of the fusion reactor, all kinds of signs, including Lin Xue's prophetic dream and the fact that the various living quotas in this world have been reduced, all indicate that something worse is happening here, this system that has been closed for more than 700,000 years is coming to an end, and those fusion reactors that are not made by the empire are the first batch of ancient equipment to die due to technical limitations.

Under normal circumstances, those imperial machines that maintain this world should be able to last longer, at least far beyond the lifespan of those fusion reactors, but it is not a normal situation now, those things are all dilapidated equipment dismantled from the wreckage of the spaceship, thinking of Lin Xue's prophetic dream, I am afraid that those key equipment such as food synthesizers and atmospheric generators will only be shut down overnight.

In this case, repairing a fusion reactor is irrelevant. If we don't want to see the natives of this world be wiped out, sending them all to a safe world is one of the easiest and crude ways to do it, but until then, Sandora and I don't think we should rush into action: it will take some time for those systems to collapse, and what we need to do is unravel the other secrets of this space before the worst moment comes.

Glick looked a little sullen, but that's all, he still looked quite composed. A thirteen-year-old child, after facing such an event that can make adults panic, his composure or coarse nerves are very surprising, maybe this is related to the fact that he has been taking on the responsibility of the family since he was very young, or it may be that the plumber father who holds the apocalyptic theory of the world every day is influencing this child, making him appear calmer than others in the face of disasters.

The water droplets too, although she seemed more frightened than Glick, but a nine-year-old girl in this situation did not cry or make a fuss, it was also very surprising, now it was an endless night outside, in order to save energy, the street lights in the town had just been turned off halfway, in the "noon" on weekdays, the streets were shrouded in darkness, the water droplets leaned on the window and looked outside, then shrank back in fear, and looked straight at this side.

"Uncle, will the sun come up?"

The little girl asked timidly.

I really wanted to remind her that she should be called brother in this case. But after one glance at Gorrik, I don't think it's better to be the same age as the thirteen-year-old bear kid.

"The sun is out of order, but the adults have gone to fix it."

My sister gently pressed Shuizhu's thin shoulder, took out some small snacks from her pocket and stuffed them into her hands. "Don't worry, with us, no matter how bad things are, they will get better."

The wonderful snack made this simple child immediately forget his fear, like a little squirrel in eating. Droplets were eating a small packet of puffed food quickly, while Glick suddenly glanced at us and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, why are you the only ones back in town?" What about the older brothers and sisters? ”

"You said Bingdes and mercury lamps?" I was a little confused about how to answer. "A few of them seem to be ......"

"We're back!"

As I was thinking about how to explain to Glick the whereabouts of the gang of men, Ice's loud and uneducated voice rang out outside the door, as if he were going back to his own house, and the female scoundrel who had never known what politeness was, pushed the door in a grand manner, carrying my mercury lamp on her shoulder—but when he entered the door, he slammed into the door beam, and when he was in front of me, he was carried upside down by Ice.

This is the tragic lesson of high overruns.

"Wow! Sorry, sorry! The sloppy goddess hurriedly slammed the mercury lamp that had been bumped into the alloy door frame from behind to the front of her, nervously to see if it hurt the other party. I really couldn't look past it, so I reminded me next to me: "Hey, hey, you've taken ......"

It seems that since the acquaintance, mercury lamps have always been associated with collisions. When she first arrived at home, she often forgot that there was an energy shield outside the house and crashed into the balcony, and when she was flying around the house, she always forgot that there was a corner in front of her and hit something to stop.

It took me a bit of effort to stop the little puppet's desperate urge to find some goddess, and the price came with a lot of desserts, two large tubs of yogurt, and the promise of a pillow when I got back, while I was busy calming the grumpy water chairman. Bingtis, however, took possession of the only upholstered chair in the Glick house without a big grin, and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Whew—good fellow." It was really bright enough at that moment, and it startled the concubine. ”

I raised an eyebrow. Asked with a psychic connection, "You mean the fusion furnace?" ”

"Fusion furnaces? Well, that's what mortals call it," Bingdis's voice sounded in his head, "The artificial suns in this sky are all extinguished, and the layman of the concubine can see that they are seriously overlived and wasted, don't you see, their shells are all potted patches." There are some mortals who want to forcibly pressurize one of the artificial suns, oh, it's this one above your head, and when the pressure is pressurized, the concubine and the others are just hanging out on the track, and we watched its shell vaporize with our own eyes, and the pipes were twisted into twists like rubber bands in an instant, if it weren't for the impact of the 123 gang of mortals, and Lilina secretly treating radiation, I'm afraid it would have been bloody at an altitude of 3,000 kilometers......"

"You've saved people."

My sister looked very happy.

"Of course, we are gods, and we can't watch mortals die innocently, right?" Bingtis spread his hands, "But to be honest, if it continues to develop like this, this world will be finished." PL-15 analyzed the information sent back by those probes and scouts, and the professional concubines didn't understand, but one thing was certain: eighty percent of the most basic mechanical systems in this space were in serious decline, and now was the concentrated outbreak period when all systems were shut down, for hundreds of years, or as short as a few months, and the various ancient factories that guaranteed the minimum life support in this world would be completely stopped, and the mortals of this world world could no longer find parts that could repair those ancient machines. That's what it says. ”

"I really don't know if this is luck or what," my sister shook her head with a subtle wry smile, "As soon as we came to this world, the maintenance system of this space was about to shut down completely, and it had survived for hundreds of thousands of years, so we just had an accident when we came here?" ”

"If we hadn't shown up, this world would have collapsed silently," said Sandora, "and from that point on, this world world would have been very lucky. ”

Gorrik couldn't hear these conversations on a spiritual level, and it took us less than a second to talk about these things in the spirit connection, so he didn't realize that the few people in front of him were discussing the survival of the world he grew up in, he was now busy sharing a small packet of puffed food with his sister, and he was just an ordinary kid in front of the snacks.

And at this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the direction of the square, which caught our attention.

When I led them to the square, there were already a dozen people gathered here, and the hero of the commotion was standing in the middle, and one of them was an acquaintance: the chubby honest old man, Barnard.

"Ayutthaya will take care of everything, now the only thing we can do is to go back and wait," Barnard cast his gaze on the person in front of him, his eyebrows twisted into a pimple, "Tieke, I know that you are very bold, but it is useless to be bold at this time, the nearest big town is more than ten kilometers away from here, and the road has to pass through a valley that is not completely opened, there are no lights, there is no supply station, and we have no transportation!" ”

Old man Barnard was talking to a bald uncle who was as strong as an iron tower, although he was two heads lower than the latter, but his tone was really stern, and the bald man called Tieke lowered his head slightly, not daring to refute loudly, but he still insisted on his opinion: "Are we just waiting here?" If the fusion reactor can't be repaired in a month, we will spend a month in the dark! Until then, the town and the roads outside will be even more blocked than they are now, and it will be too late to call for help. Dacheng can't notice that we are such a small settlement, and if you want to find rescue, you can only take the initiative to go out and ask for help......"

We listened to the side, and at this time we roughly understood what was going on, the big man named Tieke in front of him was obviously a radical in the town, he felt that the fusion furnace had exploded, and I was afraid that this place would be shrouded in a long night, and before that, it was wisest to get in touch with the big towns that had official settlements nearby, and the old mayor Barnard was from a safety point of view, and his reasons were also very strong: the town had no transportation that could be used for long distances, There is no safety in the town and the traffic roads outside, especially in the current dark conditions, the road does not even have a place to replenish lights and energy, and it is no different from suicide to trek more than ten kilometers in the dark night to ask for help.
