20 minutes later, at the east entrance of the new green city, the silver-white vehicle carrying Jiang Luochen's family slowly walked inside the mouth and drove past the station.

A blue beam of light scanned the vehicle back and forth three times, like a flood of information, and then an interface popped up on the car's central control screen.

Jiang Dayu chose the option of going directly to Xingreencheng after a wave of skillful operation, and then paid the outbound fee.

When the car gets on the track, the indicator light at the rear entrance of the car turns to a red light, signaling the vehicle behind to wait.

Then, there was a mechanical sound of snapping under the vehicle, and the vehicle followed a vertical upward passage.

There is a ring of strong electromagnets at intervals of 30 meters, and the center console of the car receives the command of the magnetic ring elevator and closes the power source of the whole vehicle.

The resonance came, and after a feeling of weightlessness that I often felt in my dreams, the car began to rise.

In 10 minutes, Jiang Luochen's family flew out of the end of the passage, and then, the car automatically started the flight system, and before the vehicle fell, the reverse thrust came, and the strong feeling of back pressure lasted for half a second.

Then Jiang Luochen saw the blue light on the windshield of the car light up, and then it became a transparent TV, and the prompt in the lower right corner: Assisted driving has been activated.

Car audio sounds at the same time: there are thousands of waterways, safety first; The speeding car is not standardized, and the relatives are in tears.

"Isn't this the line in "Little Wrecking Ball"..."Jiang Luochen complained secretly.

He silently pulled out his phone

[Dust.] What is the power of this car?

Nuclear fusion!

[Dust.] I'll go, humanity has even mastered nuclear fusion!?

[Nozomi] said you're not human/Funny

Jiang Dayu used voice navigation: "Ah Feng Ah Feng, go to the Yada No. 1 space elevator." ”

The microphone array in the center first collects the sound source, and after the CPU recognizes the owner with administrator privileges, it immediately issues the automatic driving command.

"Coordinates confirmed, I'm going to do it for you" A calm, reliable-sounding baritone voice comes from the car stereo, which seems to reassure people's hearts and reduce distrust of AI.

Although AI in today's era is far from being intelligent, it has reached a more humane level.

"Welcome to New Greentown, the weather is good today, I wish you a good mood!"

Jiang Luochen looked out the window, and the light passed through the car window, through his lens, at its eternal speed.

In the distance, the cold iron pillars rose into the sky, and the height of the anti-human was only to save plane space.

Red and blue channel indicators were suspended in the air, and cars were constantly pouring out of the east entrance of the new Greentown in the rear, and the air flow made the air waves roll in this area.

To the southeast of the new green city, there is a row of ring-shaped mirror arrays and central power towers, which will change their attitude with the change of the sun's orientation, and the circular energy gathering port at the bottom of the tower is emitting orange-red light, like the fire of the abyss.

Jiang Dayu: "It will take about 2 hours to fly to Asia-Pacific 1, you can sleep." Jiang Luochen was amazed at the development of science and technology in this world, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, so he decided to ask Jiang Luoxi more information about this world.

[Dust.] When did controlled nuclear fusion technology come about? How can a fusion engine achieve such a small size, even a car can be applied!?

At the beginning of the 21st century, history books say that science and technology developed rapidly at that time, and as early as the end of the 19th century, countries successively carried out exploration work on the earth's resources, and all came to the same conclusion:

The earth's resources can be said to be extremely scarce! As a result, countries have reached a consensus to focus on tackling the energy problem.

"No wonder science and technology are developing so fast, and human beings are always able to get rid of politics and strife when facing a common crisis, and stimulate the great potential of Nuoda," Jiang Luochen sighed secretly.

[Dust.] Thank you.

[Xiaoxi] It's okay, it's good if you can help Dusty remember.

Jiang Luochen smiled awkwardly, a little weak-hearted, and turned his head to look at Jiang Luoxi beside him, only to find that her big watery eyes were also looking at her. Then, Jiang Luoxi pounced on him with a smile...

At 1 p.m., Jiang Luochen's family was still on the road, and a piece of news played in the car caught the attention of the two people in the back row.

Affected by the comet last night, there are suspected mental confusion and temporary amnesia in various places, and some netizens even claim that they have supernatural abilities because of the comet; What's more, they spread bad language, believing that comets have brought extraterrestrial viruses, causing social panic and causing extremely bad effects.

Let's listen to astronomer Professor Zhang Huaiguo to refute the rumors for us:

As for this comet, it only passed by the Earth, and we assume that it carries an extraterrestrial virus, and even if a small part of the material on it enters the Earth, the high temperature and pressure experienced when passing through the Earth's atmosphere is enough to destroy the organic matter on it. So, this so-called virus is a .....

Eh, Chen, I remember that you lost your memory that night, I feel like you're the comet's pot nine times out of ten. / Dog's head

[Dust.] You can't talk nonsense about this, maybe one day your brother will be captured by scientists for experiments. / Vomiting blood×3

System Prompt: Dust. A message was retracted

Subsequently, Xiao Xi withdrew a message

1:10 p.m., at the entrance of the Asia-Pacific One space elevator

Jiang Dayu parked the flying car in the parking lot of the Dakong Elevator and took the ticket from the ticket office.

"Greentown!" (Jiang Luochen's nickname) A voice came from behind Jiang Luochen, and Jiang Luochen was concentrating on looking through his space and talking, and was caught off guard by that person. Jiang Luochen turned around and recognized that person at a glance, wasn't it his good friend Zhang Chenjie.

Today, Zhang Chenjie is wearing a white T-shirt, with a red crossing machine printed on the front, and the entire fuselage is tilted to the left, which has a great visual impact.

Zhang Chenjie is a black-skinned guy, although he is a little darker, his facial features are upright, and he has a pair of thoughtful eyes.

"When did you arrive, it's really barbaric, it's addictive to bumping people, isn't it??"

"I've just arrived, let's go, get on the elevator." Zhang Chenjie

"You and we are an elevator?"

"Or else? Ladder is affordable, I talked to your dad before, don't worry, it won't bother you and your sister. I saw him show a mouthful of neat and shining white teeth, smiling at Jiang Luochen.

"I'm really a sister control, I have to change it......" Jiang Luochen was speechless.

It is said to be a space elevator, but to be precise, this elevator is actually a satellite in geosynchronous orbit. The elevator is in line with the Earth's rotational speed, its center of mass is always in geosynchronous orbit, and its bottom is always located in the equatorial zone of the Indian Ocean.

In order to keep this giant man-made object balanced, there will be a ring structure at every interval on it, and the ring station 300 kilometers above the end of the elevator is the largest, which can carry up to 1,000 people on it for scientific research, observation and sightseeing, and its role is equivalent to that of a space station.

All the annular structures are the counterweights of this elevator, and the sum of their masses is exactly equal to the mass of the elevator body.

Outside the porthole, the sparkling sea was gradually fading away, and Jiang Luochen and his party rose in an endless distance.

The elevator bay is a streamlined spaceship, fixed to the orbits of the elevator, and its interior layout resembles a small suite, with four sets of immaculate white vertical space beds on both sides of the bulkhead, and a fixed metal table in the middle, the smooth surface reflecting the scenery outside the cabin.

Jiang Luochen turned off the elevator cabin's full transparent landscape function, which made him uneasy. Looking at the outside world in the distance, there is a sense of remoteness in the thriving urban buildings of the Asian continent at sea level.

He was homesick, he missed his hometown, where there were no speeding cars, but simple buildings and forests full of life.

Three hours later, the elevator rose to the low-earth track, and the feeling of gradual weightlessness was mixed with the pleasant broadcast sound of the elevator, and the group woke up.

Jiang Luoxi was still leaning on Jiang Luochen's right shoulder at this time, the sluggling saliva at the corner of her mouth was clearly visible, and she opened her eyes without sleeping enough.

The elevator enters the penultimate circular space station, the Eastern Traveler.

They were lying on the leather sofa in the reception center, Jiang Luochen looked out the window at the dark space in a daze, this angle, the moon occupies most of the picture.

This natural satellite, which has attracted the sighs of poets through the ages, looks at the earth silently, and I wonder how many lonely souls will stare at her tonight.

Ten minutes later, they followed the receptionist of the "Huanxing" hotel onto a small passenger boat, the spacecraft flashed a faint fluorescence, and flew everyone to the hotel not far away.

The "Huanxing" hotel is a large civilian leisure space station, and its hull is surrounded by a ring of passenger cabins, a giant structure that rotates slowly around the hull, and through this rotation, artificial gravity can be created.

And in order for passengers to see the full Earth, it is in low-Earth orbit and orbits the Earth once every 90 hours. As a result, the arrival time of new guests is fixed, i.e. the time period during which the hotel passes through the Oriental Traveler.

In the pressurized access cabin, the receptionist motioned for everyone to put their luggage into a box.

"Your luggage will be automatically transferred to the reserved room after passing through the hotel's second security check (the first time is the space elevator), thank you for your cooperation."

Then, the access capsule rotated around and arrived at the two rooms they had booked. After everyone packed their bags, it was 6:42 p.m. Earth time.

Outside the window, in the condensed deep space, above the boundless darkness, the earth suddenly exuded her blue light, which was both beautiful and a little melancholy, after all, blue is the color of melancholy;

In the upper left corner of the Northern Hemisphere, the last rays of sunlight are like warm spring water, bathing the earth and soothing people's heartstrings.

Earth, the tiny planet, the home of humanity, slowly rotated, she was unique and fragile......
