The three of them disembarked to carry the goods.

The long needle used by the Gear Man to test the water quality hangs over the treacherously changing water, and the readings on it remain unchanged for a long time. And the death or life trumpet falls on the netherworld, like a stagnant, separated by a layer of waterwheels and sails, silent.

From a distance, the Dead or Living looked like a long beetle.

The waterwheel and sail are its crawling legs with its carapace exposed.

But the body of this huge myriapod was not completely silent at that time. Along the upper corridor, an unnoticed egg rolls down the glass-like floor all the way to the exterior observation chamber.

For the egg, rolling on the glass floor is much more comfortable than sand, but rolling itself is an uncomfortable thing, the head is constantly overturning, and one's little eyes have to run over the earth from time to time, so it is just a kind of suffering.

"Well, but I'm just an egg that can't hatch, so what can I do?"

Eggs don't walk.

Naturally, it did not come to the Great Wilderness on its own, but when it was still growing on a tree, it was carried away by the big wheel that was cutting down the tree and the branches. Big wheels don't eat it. Mr. Dandan couldn't do anything, and at that time he could only be extremely bored, blown by the winds of the upper atmosphere, and he didn't know what was going on from east to west, north and south. After that, it was thrown to the ground by large wheels. This earth is the edge of the netherworld.

But that's not all.

Mr. Eggball rolls for a moment on the edge of the Netherworld and the Wilderness, the kind of shore between liquid and gravel, when he is spotted by the strange creature Eyeless Snake that inhabits the Wilderness. The Eyeless Serpent swallows Mr. Eggball first, thinking that its suffering is coming to an end. But instead of digesting it, the eyeless snake spit it out and told it to stay with a bunch of snake eggs. At that time, Mr. Dandans was so angry that he scolded the stupid snake for mistaking himself.

The story after that can be expected. The aliens stole into the snake's den, found the talking egg, and sent it to the most prosperous market in the Great Wilderness.

"Mr. Chaos, it's always unlucky." Recalling his experience, Mr. Dandan couldn't help but lament, "But ...... After all, this is the punishment for a wicked death. Who made me die evil in my last life? ”

Then it saw that the three men were not there, and cried out in a loud voice:

"Killer? Assassin? Have it? You're showing up! Someone told me that you might kill me! I'm a very researched and delicious egg, and it's a good thing to make a specimen or cook it. You don't have to worry about me hurting you, everyone in the world will hurt you, but I only want to be hurt quickly. ”

Gu Chuan's intimidation of killing this egg, he forgot that this actually hit the itch of Mr. Dandan, and made his mind active. And long before it was locked in, it applied the serum from its own surface to the fasteners of the box, and the lubrication of the liquid allowed the fasteners of the box to be opened. It took a lot of effort to knock down the box, and then fled into the Dead or Alive, taking advantage of the absence of people.

But it screamed for a long time, and nothing terrible appeared, which made Mr. Egg very disappointed.

"Even if there are people who have pursuits and ideas, they will get bored because of time, and we should save each other's time, right? Or is it ...... Am I being scammed? ”

Mr. Dandan shook his head and muttered to himself.

It barely continued to roll forward, quickly rolling to the base of the central telescope, and then barely stood up with the slimy egg white liquid secreted from its body.

The door of the pedestal is irrelevant.

Therefore, it is easy to see what is inside with its small eyes.

The waterwheel, the sails, the unreadable but about silvery-white polygonal three-dimensional, and the dust on it......

Then, seeing something, it lay motionless on the board.

Waterwheels and sails are common things, and they are everywhere in and around the Netherworld. The silvery-white polygonal body is slightly different, but for Mr. Eggball, there is nothing to worry about.

Here's the problem......

"What is this?"

Waterwheels and sails are liquid-averse, and it is normal to reject liquids. But in the case of metal plates and silvery-white polygons, it is not that they refuse...... It's that they're rejected.

It looked at the thing as if it were droplets of water on a leaf in the morning, clear and unmoving, pure as crystals. On the surface of countless crystals which are invisible to the naked eye, light is reflected.

Mr. Eggball can see all this, this is the natural ability of this race.

"Is it gas, is it liquid, or is it solid...... I'm afraid not. So is it an animal, or is it a plant...... It doesn't seem to be. Isn't this a real substance? ”

Bewildered, Mr. Balls leaned on the metal, staring at the strange shadow of reality, and finally remembered the ancient rumors that had been circulating in a certain life of his genetic memory, and his eyes widened in surprise:

"Rather...... Is it a phase change substance? ”

In the material world, they are not purely material...... A supercontinuous fluid that is closer to the non-material anti-twelve transformation forms.

"What is this thing left behind?"

But it has no time left to continue observing.

It heard a series of footsteps behind it.

Then it rolled over, and saw that the shadow had covered its body. And the young man's eyes, right in the middle of the heavenly shadows, looked down on it condescendingly.

And the blood of the young man behind it.

"How did you escape?"

Gu Chuan asked coldly.

"Are you going to kill me?" Mr. Dandan blinked and said excitedly, "If you're going to kill me, can you eat me?" When the ancient barbarians killed wild beasts, they would never waste meat. But modern people are strange and always wasteful...... If you waste it, don't eat it, even if you don't eat it, you kill me, and then feed the small animals! ”

Gu Chuan originally wanted to listen patiently, but the more he listened, the more the suspicion and anger in his heart were discharged.

By the time Mr. Balls started talking about the words that waste was bad enough to convince him, he couldn't help but laugh and guessed why this thing had run out of the box.

"I can't help you, but I also said that I won't eat you, I can only kill you...... But now, I don't want to kill you either. I think you're here looking for the hidden cogs I mentioned earlier, aren't you? ”

"No, that's what you guessed?" Mr. Dandan said, "Hehehe, I really think highly of you, I thought you still had something in your head that wasn't mush. Now it seems that you are only being toyed with by me, and you can't extricate yourself, and you can't even see through my little bit of intrigues...... Let me explain it to you, shit, I-"

Despite Mr. Dandan's use of insulting words, the young man only found the thing funny:

"The more you say, the less I want to kill you."

So the white and tender boiled egg immediately shut up.

It looked at Gu Chuan expectantly.

And Gu Chuan turned his head sideways and looked at Chu Yun by the door. The girl's fingers were stuck between her hair, and a pair of gray eyes were also looking at him, and she smiled at him with her white teeth:

"You've found it."

"Yes."

Her feet on the ground were so white that they almost glowed on the glassy floor. This kind of white is not untempered whiteness, not so ladylike and princess, it is a strange pale that does not resemble human things. But the contours of the muscles that have been exercised have a sense of beauty that is just right.

She resembles a living alabaster sculpture of a human body.

The first clouds are the last. Together, they had found the box in which the egg was being held and had been knocked to the ground. Gu Chuan ran back first, looking for traces of this egg. And Hatsuyun is pushing the cogwheel man's cart. The car was tired of the base supplies they were determined to carry into the ship.

Gu Chuan looked at her for a while, and then she said:

"What do you think I'm doing?"

So the young man flashed his eyes, and quickly turned his head, not daring to look behind, but nailed his gaze to the strange creature in front of him:

"I've decided to leave you in the wilderness."

The boiled egg panicked all of a sudden, and it said anxiously:

"You can't do that! It took a lot of effort for me to find it...... How can you just leave me behind? It's even harder to find the next one, so hard that I'm going to die halfway through...... No way! Nope! Alas, I really don't understand why you guys are so boring. ”

Exposing the corpse wilderness seems to be a bad way to die for boiled eggs, which is about the same as the probability of drawing a good card in the next reincarnation will have a greatly reduced negative effect.

Thinking of this, the young man continued:

"But it's not a matter that you're pestering us like this, isn't it?"

Mr. Dandan secretly wants that if it is not a huge wilderness, I only found you, so I will not chase you! If something else had taken me away during the chase, I wouldn't have come.

It puffed up and didn't make a sound.

"Then I have another proposal."

The young man smiled, and his hand grasped the egg, and picked up the egg, which could not be said to be young or old. Mr. Dandan was a little flustered, but soon he felt the strange temperature he had felt in the young man's hand.

It is not like the warmth of the creatures of the earth.

Gu Chuan said:

"If you think you're smart, do you need to prove it?"

Gu Chuan held the giant egg with one hand, closed the maintenance door of the telescope with the other, and then gently fiddled with the focal length gear of the telescope, so the picture in the mirror was infinitely enlarged and reduced, from meticulous to blurry, and back again, and back and forth, like a dream.

The eyepiece of the telescope is large.

When it was not fully activated, Gu Chuan could see his reflection in the mirror.

"Well, would you like to consider coming with us...... Help us go a little farther, haha! Well, we won't eat you, because we don't eat talking things! But maybe you can meet some ogres and the like that will eat you, and when the time comes, we will never forcibly keep you, and we will definitely let you die a good death as you wish, okay? ”

As he spoke, the young man laughed.

After all, it's a strange statement. You must know that there is never a wish to die a wish.

But after all, it's a different world.

He turned his head, smiled, and looked into the eyes of Mr. Chaos, who was holding his hand.

"As for the days we are about to spend, I think it is at least a little better than wandering alone in the wilderness."

His expression was so serious that Mr. Dandan lost his mind.

It pondered for a while, and then the young man began to move, and it staggered with the joy of being in the cradle of past lives.

The strange creature with incomplete memories nodded in disgust:

"That's not bad!"

It doesn't like to move much anyway.

"If you can make a soft bed, it will be a good little day......

"Then you're thinking too beautifully!"

Gu Chuan threw the egg away.

It fell roundly into the box of silk wool fabric. Layers of silk wool continued to collapse, and Chu Yun handed over the car to Gu Chuan.

The two men carried the boxes in the corresponding storage room, and then walked to the door of the boat, where they saw the carriage also coming in.

"How many more?"

"In our labor force, we still need about thirty standard hours of labor."

Do the math, you have to sleep twice in between!

"That's just around the corner!"

"No, it's a little less. You haven't finished the manual yet. ”

Gu Chuan's face suddenly turned bitter:

"Yes, yes, and this...... It's a bit harder. ”

Hatsuyun tapped his lips and nodded with a slight smile.

Under the pontoon, the water ripples, just as time passes, and the people on the bridge point to other directions.

In the philosophy of the Cogwheel Man, the so-called problems of the world are divided into two kinds.

What the world is like is the eighth question.

Why the world has become the way it is is the ninth question.

In fact, for explorers, I am afraid that they are destined to be unable to answer these two questions. What the so-called Netherworld is, they don't know. They don't know what the clouds and water in the netherworld are. They also know nothing about the size of the Great Wilderness, or the size of the Netherworld, or the Gear People, or everything in the heavens or everything on the earth.

They didn't even know that behind the mountains would be a never-ending desert and the hundreds of tribes that inhabited it. Before talking to Kyung-kyu, Kyung-kyu didn't know about the sun. After talking to Jing Yuan, they learned that behind the distant storm of the Great Wilderness, there was an endless netherworld sea.

But assuming they knew in advance what they were going to explore, it wasn't exploration, it was proof.

Proof is to fill in a known frame with sufficient evidence.

Exploration, on the other hand, is to explore a framework based on evidence that you didn't know existed.

On the day before leaving, Gu Chuan asked Zaiyan:

"Have the Gear People ever wondered what the world is like?"

"Once upon a time, the Gear People thought our world was spherical."

"Spherical?"

"Because the moon in the sky that we see is also spherical." "The moon was frozen in the sky, and we thought our world was another ball similar to the moon, far away from the moon. ”

By that time, the fixing bolts in the shipyard had all been opened. The channel that introduced the Netherworld made a gurgling sound.

The appearance of the Dead or the Living appears to be opaque, but in fact, it has a strange optical refraction effect, which has a mirror-like function, which can not only be invisible to a certain extent, but also can refract the light from the outside world inside the metal, all the way into the glass wall inside, forming an effect almost like a window.

"Then why don't you insist on that?"

Gu Chuan looked at the bleak scenery outside the window. Mr. DanDan sleeps in a box. Hatsuyun sat on the side, studying the design of the glass book repeatedly. As for the gear man in the telescope, he was leaning on the gear machine flying in the air, curiously and cautiously observing the movements of the three people.

Zai drew a ball, and drew a point outside the ball, saying:

"The reason for this is very simple, because if it's a sphere, should the telescope that we launch into the air be able to see the marginal line?"

He then drew a point outside the sphere, a tangent that extends to both sides of the sphere, meaning the view of the world from a telescope launched into the air.

Gu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and said in a trance:

"That's right...... Is that the case? ”

It was also the first time he had known about this phenomenon. Speaking of which, Sunset City can also launch some balloons to the upper floors, did they find anything?

He looked at Chu Yun, who shook his head and said that he didn't know either.

Zai continued:

"The second problem is more. For example, our ground doesn't glow. Obviously, our world and the glowing moon are by no means the same thing. At the same time, since our world is illuminated by the moon, what is blocking the moonlight? Or does this prove that the laws of light that our moon follows are not the same as the principles of optics on the ground? ”

"Ah, that's ...... true"

Gu Chuanyuan wanted to say that this may be the relationship between the earth and the moon and the sun.

But he remembered all the visions he knew, and he did not dare to speak confidently.

After all, it's something that can't be said for sure.

After all...... None of this is known until you see it with your own eyes.

And if the world is really a circle and a ball, then sooner or later, he will finally return to Sunset City in one direction of the world, and then he will be able to prove everything.

Why listen to the "Way of the Earth" now?

The young man laughed happily.

Behind him, the compass was mounted on an upright pole, pointing forever in the only direction.

And the water gate of the underground shipyard has been completely opened. The galloping Netherworld, the viscous liquid, no longer in any way, rushed into the base of the Cogwheel Man.

The terrible sound of water brings the sound of howling wind. The sound of the wind and the sound of the water rolled together, and endless clouds and mist rose from the water, forming large expanses of strange shapes.

The water was like a whirlpool, and the clouds were like a dream.

The Death or Life let out a long chirp towards the exit of the underground water, and then struggled forward in the netherworld like a flying fish coming against the water.

Foam splash, big river soup soup.

Then, hit the road!

With the sound of the water and the wind.

Don't be afraid!

At that time, the young man was softly reciting the poem that popped into his head.

The boundless world expands infinitely to my left and right, and the eternal south is my only direction.

Don't care what happens next, or what happens next.

Don't even ask us where we're going.

What we are going to be for eternity and greatness is to come.
