Chapter 15: Nirvana! Phoenix Girl! (2)

"Fantasy City, founded more than 1,100 years ago, the question is, what era was it?" Vladimir led the group through the tunnel that shimmered with a dark purple light, pointing to the ever-changing images on the walls. "It was probably the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Ye Ling thought about it, but he wasn't very sure, and Vladimir snapped his fingers when he heard it, "The answer is correct, but it only mentioned China, have you ever wondered what period the West is?"

"I don't know this very well, it should still be the dark times, the time of religion. Ye Ling thought about it and came up with an uncertain answer. Vladimir nodded, "That's almost right, the east is full of war at this time, and on the other hand, the west is not at peace at this time." ”

At this time, some people of insight realized that such a form was wrong. Vladimir whispered, pointing to a fresco-like image, "So long before the Crusades, there was a group of scholars who followed the route of Alexander the Great and wanted to find the world described by Plato, but well. Vladimir laughed self-deprecatingly, "They seem to be on the wrong track." ”

In the following ten years, the East has been in the midst of war, the emperors in order to ensure their power, constantly mythologize themselves, this era, can be said to be very dark, scientific and technological civilization is in a state of stopping or even regressing. Vladimir led the group forward again, and then proudly patted a picture scroll in front of him, "At this time, some of the oppressive scholars began to flee from the Central Plains, some fled to the sea, and some advanced to the west along the ancient road in the Western Regions. ”

"It was a very difficult time, we died a lot of people, yes, a lot of people. Vladimir led the crowd through one picture scroll after another, which was full of countless difficulties and obstacles, some natural disasters and man-made disasters, some like Shura hell, and some miserable.

"These people are our ancestors, and our ancestors overcame obstacles just to pursue a so-called ideal township. Vladimir sighed, "But the reality is very cruel, the Westerners and the Easterners finally meet, and they learn that there is no ideal land in this world." ”

"A lot of people committed suicide, it was a time of despair, our ancestors, didn't find the answer. This answer was too desperate for the people of that era, Vladimir looked at the scrolls on the wall, countless people knelt on the ground, some cried, some struggled, some covered their hearts, lying on the ground and pointing to the heavens, as if they were angrily denouncing.

Ye Ling doesn't know much about history, but she knows how hard people will be hit when her beliefs are shattered, and she can still understand this, "And then?"

Vladimir motioned to Ye Ling not to worry, and then led everyone forward to see the next picture. In the picture, a young man holds a flag and is planted on a bare rock, and the people below are holding out their hands to him, as if in prayer.

"We don't believe that there are gods and gods in this world, and there is no savior, if the ideal country is just an illusion, then we will create it ourselves. Vladimir smiled, "This young man, also called Vladimir, is that it was from him that the name Vladimir appeared frequently in Fantasy City." ”

"The flag was planted on a barren hill, and that day the city of fantasy was born, and people said that since the city was born in fantasy, then it was named after fantasy. In the next picture, Ye Ling saw that many people were building the city, "At the beginning, the city was very small, with only a few hundred people, but with the spread of war, people kept fleeing their original hometowns, and finally came here, and the people who kept coming made the city develop rapidly, which allowed our ancestors to spend thirty years of peace." ”

"Luckily. Vladimir's tone suddenly became relaxed, "Most of the people who come here in the city are people of insight, and there are also many officials who have been assigned from Dongtu. This place, in less than a decade after its completion, has gathered the vast majority of the world's scholars. ”

"Maybe ten years can't change anything, but a hundred years, a thousand years, can change everything. Vladimir's face became a little solemn, "The Middle Ages in the West and the wars of the Song Dynasty in Middle Earth allowed us to survive the first hundred years safely, and then the Mongol iron cavalry trampled everything to pieces. ”

"One hundred and twenty-three years after the city, the ancestors abandoned their original place of residence and hid in the vast mountains. Vladimir smiled bitterly, "This hiding, hiding for hundreds of years." ”

In the new picture, another new story is shown, for hundreds of years, these people are fighting with nature, but they have not forgotten to study natural science, in addition, the people in this world are also creating rumors in the outside world, describing them as an ideal township, here, science and technology have been greatly developed, and there are constantly outside scholars to join, but also for the city continues to inject fresh blood, and finally in the city calendar three hundred years ago, opened a vigorous industrial revolution, this move, ahead of the Western world for a full four hundred years!

People hollowed out the mountains, built huge factories, they crossed the mountains, built tunnels, they partially walked out of the mountains, opened up the sea routes to the outside world, and all the glorious deeds seemed to indicate that a powerful city was rising. And the people of the world still don't know anything.

Just 100 years later, the city once again began a new industrial revolution, and then less than 100 years, they began to step into space, the information age, the atomic age, and they were too long ahead of the people on earth.

In the middle of the eighteenth century, human civilization also began their industrial revolution, and the people of Fantasy City knew that they could no longer hide in the mountains, and sooner or later someone would come here, so they moved the entire city to the bottom of the sea, and used their technology to build a city of eternal glory. Everything that was original has long been gone with the wind, and only this name is left - Fantasy City.

"This city has long been able to go to the universe, they already have perfect technology, but there is one thing that catches our eye. Vladimir led everyone to the end, "A hundred years ago, we found a world that is the opposite of our world, we can call it the dark side, and the cut in it is against the common sense of this world, that world has the same quality as my world, and it seems to maintain the balance of this world. Ye Ling didn't understand a little, and Vladimir smiled slightly, "Forget it, you don't need to know, we are still on the earth now, just for this thing, maybe one day we will figure it out and leave here." ”

"Ah, it's finally done. Vladimir shouted and moved his arms, "This is what everyone who comes here for the first time should listen to, the ancestors told us that their footprints are for us to remember, we must recognize the path of tomorrow, and do not forget where we came from yesterday." ”

Ye Ling, who was quickly instilled with a bunch of history by Vladimir, was a little blindsided, her eyes kept looking around, and these complicated pictures made her a little dizzy. "Don't worry, it's okay if you can't remember these things, I was dizzy the first time I came. Xie Liu was beside Ye Ling and said quietly, "These things will be mentioned in the future lessons." ”

Vladimir, who was walking in front, also smiled: "Xie Liu is right, but this process still has to be followed, it has been a tradition for hundreds of years, Xie Liu, you still don't understand the meaning." After speaking, he pointed to the exit ahead, "It's already here, and in front of you is the highest place in Fantasy City, which we call the "Top of Star City". Here you can see the whole city. ”

"Take a step forward, it's heaven there, because that's the infinite future. Take a step forward, it's hell there, because that's the future that has come!" Xie Liu whispered, Ye Ling didn't understand, and looked at Xie Liu with some annoyance, looking at his delicate face, he could hardly see what he looked like in school. seemed to feel Ye Ling's gaze, Xie Liu's gaze turned around, for the first time, Ye Ling looked directly at Xie Liu's eyes, only to find that Xie Liu's eyes were very beautiful, like a pair of girl's bright eyes, flashing with luster, but these eyes were a little unfocused in a daze, without a trace of brilliance. But the occasional bad feeling was still captured by Ye Ling.

"What are you looking at me for?" Xie Liu asked coldly, and Ye Ling turned his head away, not wanting to pay attention to this guy who looked a little baby-faced. At the same time, Vladimir stepped out of the rippling light curtain in front of him, "Welcome to Fantasy City!"

Ye Ling walked out of this light curtain, and the next moment, she opened her mouth wide, and above her head, there was an endless starry sky, nebulae circulating, and the Milky Way swirling, as if encompassing the whole universe. Ye Ling is like standing in the universe at this moment, the vast world, evolving above her head and under her feet.

Spanning tens of billions of years, the operation of the universe seems to have been completed in an instant, and Ye Ling raised his hand, as if he could touch those shining stars. "This is the top of Star City in Fantasy City, and you are in the universe right now. ”

"This can't be!" Ye Ling looked at the few people around him in surprise, "We were still at the bottom of the sea just now." ”

"Don't doubt our technology, we've been working wonders. Vladimir smiled and pointed in the void. "Permission recognition, welcome to Fantasy City, may miracles be with you. "The universe in front of you begins at the moment when Vladimir points in the void, and the entire universe shrinks. "Don't be afraid, this is space compression technology, okay, we're going to Fantasy City. ”

The world in front of her disappeared, Ye Ling felt that she was standing on solid ground, but she almost knelt on the ground, "vomit ......" She covered her chest to prevent herself from throwing up, "The first space crossing is definitely not used to it, just get used to it." ”

"Although the entire city is located on the earth, it has developed a lot of independent spaces using dimensional technology, which we call [dimensional space]. These spaces are generally not large, as the energy required to maintain them is simply too large. As far as I know, there will not be more than ten dimensional spaces, and the top of Star City just now is the largest one. Vladimir held Ye Ling, who was about to fall, "Okay, let's take a good look here." ”
