Chapter 884: Columbus Who Failed to Discover the New World
This ruined world is indeed full of fascinating secrets, this world is full of exploration and puzzle elements to make the lively girl of the shallow excited, and make her decide to find out the information herself, for this grand goal, she has successfully mingled with several local bear children, and with the countless childish games she has accumulated in the past twenty years to win the throne of the local child king, and now she is busy turning the flower rope with the bear children......
Of course, I'm also very curious about this world, but my concerns are definitely more high-end than the shallow.
I wonder if the universe 720,000 years ago and the earth in another world have had their fates intersect...... Well, this sentence is literary, in fact, I just want to know if Viska turned two places over at the same time - two places, one is the ruined universe, and the other is the ancient civilization of Atlantis on the earth.
720,000 years ago, Viska was enthusiastically destroying the Atlantean civilization on Earth, fighting with a group of scientific expeditions, and at the same time, her destruction army had a fierce battle in this universe, resulting in the destruction of a universe, and countless warship wrecks and even piled up into a star system, what is the connection between these two things?
If anyone says that these two things have nothing to do with each other, I am absolutely willing to lift the front face with a brick.
I suddenly remembered a small detail that I had been concerned about for a long time: when we took Viska to discover the secrets of Barrier Star, she found that Barrier Star's Star Destroyer weapon was still locked on and ready to fire. This shows that its owner left the console abruptly before an order could be given, and did not even bother to shut down the device safely, and then contacted the records in the Atlantis database. It's easy to tell that Viska left the solar system abruptly at the end of the war of extermination against Atlantis, and because of this, she left Earth with survivors to tell the story of ancient myths—otherwise, with her terrifying fighting power and her murderous army, she would have collapsed after Earth's resistance collapsed. Will it take an extra second to burn the entire planet into a high-carbon mass?
We've always attributed Visk's sudden departure to her madness, but now it seems ......
Could it be that the great war that took place in this universe at the same time made her have to give up her "game"?
It's a pity that the person who should be the most qualified to answer this question is now more confused than us. Viska remembered the events of her crazy years in a mess, as if she hadn't realized that the moon above her head was her other body after living on Earth for so long, and she had forgotten about the things of this universe, she didn't even remember what battles her Legion of Destruction fought, let alone where they produced such exaggerated losses, and when she saw the emblem of her army appear on this town, her first reaction was to draw a backgammon board with chalk on it— You said this girl was weird like this. What else can I expect from her?
Of course, there is also a reason why I am reluctant to force Viska to recall the events of the past, after all, she finally came out of those black history.
The party in Condenser Town was actually quite boring, and even Asa lost interest in playing with the children not long after they finished singing the hymns. But the townspeople who attended the meeting themselves seemed very happy. In this world where there are only ruins, people's lives are suppressed in an extremely monotonous state, especially the people at the bottom here, go to the metal station to sort waste products, rough process the broken parts collected from all over the world, and then go home to eat those tasteless synthetic food and synthetic water, and wake up to work the next day, this is what the vast majority of ordinary people in this world do in their lives. And on each day off, I have half a day off, and I get together in the evening to sing hymns. Sighing to each other about how beautiful this world is, this has become their only entertainment in their occasional leisure.
It's a very absurd picture for me and Sandora. In all fairness, we can hardly imagine a place with a bleak future than this ruined world, this dead space built on corpses is gloomy and depressing, and people are desperate, but the natives who live here feel that this world is so beautiful, they have long forgotten what the real world world with sunshine and flowers looks like, and instead think that the endless scrap metal accumulation around it is heaven......
Today is a rare time to relax in the town, originally in this world, even children have to work where they can, but today, they can completely relax, and they can also get a piece of sugar cakes - that thing is probably one of the few luxuries in this world, at least for children, it is a supreme delicacy, I saw a group of little hairy children led by Glick gathered around a stout middle-aged woman who went to rest after singing the hymn, The latter pulled out a large pocket of white round cakes the size of a palm and distributed them to the children, causing a burst of cheerful screams.
The old man, Barnard, had finished his business and walked straight for him, very obviously, his target was me and Sandora, and we both looked at each other inexplicably.
"It's always pleasant to sing hymns, to forget the fatigue of work, and to remember how beautiful this eternal world is," Barnard, who was a little chubby but had the simplicity and stability of an old man, stood in front of us with a faint smile and turned his head to look at the cheering children, "isn't it?" ”
Sandora and I didn't know what this old man meant, so we could only make a perfunctory call.
"Glick had never been to Big City," Barnard said slowly, the expression on his face unwavering, "He's only seen it on the screen in the town hall, and like many children, he's full of unrealistic visions of Big City, but overall, Big City is the best place in the world...... People from the big cities can also be respected by many people. ”
Barnard seemed to be rambling aimlessly. It's like an ordinary old man who suddenly opens up the conversation after meeting a stranger he can talk to, and talks about his old sesame and rotten grain, but even the dullest person should see it at this time. Obviously, it's not just about tourism and big cities......
"The people of Ayutthaya have only been in this town less than ten times, and Glick has only seen them from afar, so I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the people who really come from Ayutthaya......" Barnard rambled for a long time, just as Sandora and I were about to lose patience and prepare to interrupt each other. He finally got to the point, "You say you're here from the big city...... That's impossible...... The people of Ayutthaya would not be in this mood, and even if they were more curious about the desolate area, they would at most glance at it from a distance in a flying machine. So. If you are curious about the desolate area and come to visit it, even a child like Gorrick who is full of fantasies will believe it. ”
Barnard finally voiced his doubts about us, apparently the other party did not believe our public identity, and he made a point, after all, it is really different to observe the ant nest and live in the ant nest yourself, and you say that you just visit this town with one or two hundred inhabitants - and you are deceiving the children.
But even if something goes wrong with our identity, Sandora and I don't have a lot of headaches. Originally, we just wanted to casually contact the residents of this world and get a general understanding of the situation here, but after spending half a day with Glick, we should almost know the Dao. It doesn't matter to us whether the identity is "revealed" or not, it's just a pity, Glick's kid is actually quite likable, although sometimes his curiosity is too strong, but his tiger energy honed in a hard life is impressive, and his simplicity and warm-heartedness are also a valuable asset - it is rare for such a solid-eyed child to be seen in these years, it is said that now elementary school students start to write notes to each other in the third grade, and in the fifth grade, they know that they gang up to grab girlfriends or boyfriends. A few people even dared to plan to subvert the world at just 1.09 meters, how bad you said the bear children in these years are. When I was in the third grade of elementary school, I didn't do anything other than put bugs in the pencil case of the girl at the back table......
"It's really an old man, and we didn't plan to hide it for long." Since it wasn't a big deal for us, I happily admitted, "I only said that to Glick because ......"
"I know that he is only a child after all, and even the church will forgive the sins of children—not to mention that he really doesn't know anything."
Barnard interrupted me in the middle of my sentence, and what he said made me look at Sandora and my sister.
Looks like the situation is not what you just expected?
Seeing that we didn't speak, Barnard thought that we were waiting for him to continue, so he sighed: "Actually, I expected you to come ten days ago, but I didn't expect that it was not the military who came, but the special agent...... Well, I hope I'm not mistaken, but I think in this case there are only agents besides the military. Glick's father was born and raised in this town, and he's always been a source of pride: it's a great thing to have a ship mechanic in our small place, which isn't even a formal village, even though he's only supposedly repairing pipes. As you know, Glick has always called himself 'the son of the old Glick', and he thinks it's an honorary title. If it weren't for the conclusive news, I wouldn't want to believe that Big Glick, who had worked hard all his life, would do such a risky thing......"
Sandora and my sister and I continued to look at each other, and this matter really unfolded.
Well, why do I say so?
"Since you're here, you must have wanted to know about his father from little Glick, but I can tell you right now that the kid really doesn't know anything." Barnard is indeed a person who keeps talking after opening the chatterbox, and probably in order to protect the little boy as much as possible, he didn't even wait for us to speak, he took the initiative to say everything he knew - this simple old man has already regarded us as "agents" from the big city, and this dilapidated and ridiculous ruin world is difficult to say whether there is a so-called identity authentication system, maybe the luxurious clothes on our bodies and the generosity of giving away a "master craftsman" are enough to explain our identity, The other party didn't even think to ask us for an identity certificate. In fact, I just want to remind this old man: Have you ever seen a public servant who is still holding a doll on a business trip?
Of course. In the spirit of the crooked fight is a rare opportunity, I didn't remind him......
From Barnard's tone, it was not difficult to tell that Glick's father had definitely committed something outside. As a result, we appeared again, so the old man in front of him mistakenly regarded us as the staff who came to investigate and collect evidence, and for ordinary people like Barnard who have lived at the bottom of society all their lives, it is a habit to confess leniency in the face of "official errands": "Big Greek hasn't been back to town for two years. He only communicated with this place with information, and the last time little Greek received a message from his father was a few months ago, he only knew that his father had gone to work on a large warship, but he didn't know what kind of warship it was. So if you have anything to say, just ask me. ”
"Uh. Okay, then tell me everything you know, what the hell is Grek and his dad doing. I was stunned, and said weakly, where do you say this problem should start, I don't even know what the legendary old Glick looks like, so I can only let the other party pick up what he knows. Barnard was not suspicious, though, as he probably took the question as a routine inquiry, and simply motioned for us to follow him to a quiet corner where no one was disturbed.
"Glick — I mean little Glick's father, I grew up watching." Old Man Barnard led us to sit under a small shed in the corner of the square, where the only "bar" in the town of "Condenser" was located, and of course, I kept a wait-and-see attitude towards what the so-called wine in this world was like, "He was a little bit of a no-brainer since he was a child, and like little Greek now, his mind was full of unrealistic fantasies, and now you know it. So it's nothing to say - yes, little Glick's father has always been interested in the end of the world. He wanted to know what was on the other side of the Storm Sea, and he had brought up this deviant idea in front of everyone more than once. At that time, no one cared about the crankiness of a small metal sorter. Even the occasional church member who passed by to bless the newborn would not take such a rebellious thing seriously, but only reprimanded a few words, after all, who would have thought that a coolie who knew nothing but tossing scrap metal would one day set foot on a spaceship?
At first, he just accidentally caught up with a cargo ship driver who was passing by here to transport scrap metal, and at that time two small stations near this metal station were transferred, so the local scrap metal cargo ships were all concentrated in this town, and the cargo ship drivers who came and went here would always rest in the town when the workers were loading and unloading things, and Glick usually liked to study flying machines, and he actually began to learn the energy supply science of civilian spacecraft with the pilot, which is incredible, we all know it, All the energy in the world comes from the crystals and reactors left by the ancient gods, only the priest and the captain of the spaceship know how to distinguish those crystals in the Dao, and a spaceship pilot knows how to adjust the energy output of the crystals at most, but Grek has really learned how to repair the energy pipeline with the shallow knowledge he has learned, so when he excitedly announced to everyone one day that he was going to be an apprentice on the cargo spaceship, although many people were stunned, but I was not surprised at all. ”
"Getting to the point." Sandora saw that Barnard would definitely go off topic as soon as he spoke, and finally couldn't help but remind him out loud.
Barnard finally remembered that he was still "cooperating with the investigation", and immediately rubbed his hands nervously: "Yes, anyway, this is how Glick became a crew member of the spaceship, but I don't know how he got to that ship, I only learned a few months ago that he boarded the 'Hope', and the captain of the 'Hope' has always been a visionary trying to rush through the storm ocean, I know that you have been looking for opportunities to shut him up." Of course, I'm a supporter of the church, and normal people wouldn't be interested in the other side of the stormy ocean, so when I heard that Glick was on the Hope, I wanted to remind him that he was playing with fire...... But it was too late, they had already rushed into the storm ocean, and the last news on the radio said that they had been lost in the blue storm, and Grek didn't know what to do......"
Nozomi!!
At this moment, Sandora and I jumped out of the somewhat boring state of listening at the same time, those three crucial words were shocking, and the drama of the event was so unexpected that we never expected that Barnard's rambling would finally pull out the Empermata that crashed on Mars.
Glick's father, the metal sorter who had been away from home for two years and who had reportedly boarded a large warship in recent months, ended up aboard the Hope......
However, this is really not good news.
My sister gently pinched the back of my hand, and I turned my head to see a gloom in her eyes.
The Hope, the apostate ark that may have once reigned in the Ruined Realm, has long since been reduced to a twisted and burning metal wreck in the distant Otherworld, and none of its crew members have survived.
I am reminded of my sister's unintentional words: they are the Columbus of this world.
It's a pity that they didn't make it to the day of the discovery of the New World.
The church in this world should be the official power, and the huge super battleship "Hope" is undoubtedly an unstable element that the official power does not dare to act rashly, they dare to ignore the ban and explore the ghost energy storm several times, relying on a huge ship in their own hands that can be called absolute power in this universe, I don't know how a group of deviants in the Dao obtained such a thing, but it is obvious, They eventually capsized in the gutter: the official version is that they were lost in the Ghost Storm, but we all know that they were suddenly attacked by the Church's superweapon before they could enter the Ghost Storm Zone, and in an instant the shield armor was all red and forced to sail into the Void, and finally failed to withstand the deadly Void Impact, and the ship disintegrated and exploded......
