"A data log here records a natural disaster that occurred after the construction of the Dengyuan site was halfway through." P03 said, "This directly led to the geographical location of the Dengyuan site here 'suddenly becoming inappropriate'." ”

The Lighthouse Boy and I listened quietly to P03's recounting of the past in the data record. I plucked the oranges, thought about it, and found a comfortable position to sit on the metal chair.

"At first, they built the Dengyuan site here - but during the construction process, they noticed that the 'environment' here seemed to have changed, and strange black powder began to fall from the sky, like dust after some substance had been burned."

"At first they didn't care, because they weren't very large – they weren't very visible. But in just a few days, this black powder gradually increased, the entire sky dome was stained black, and a thick layer of black substance accumulated on the ground. That's when they found out about it – and they started looking for why. ”

"After a few more days of research, they found that the gravitational equipotential plane, a kilometer above the geoid at sea level, seemed to be a 'cross-section', in which a steady stream of matter appeared out of thin air – at first it was black ash-like material, and then it began to become diverse, rocks, soil, metals, organic matter...... Mostly earth and rock, of course, and black ash. They found that the sphere was like a one-way portal, through which matter from nowhere descended into the world. ”

"Soon, the buildings at the Dengyuan site were 'buried'. Due to the large amount of material that had fallen, the entrance and exit were buried, apparently unusable, so they left the place. Another reason to leave here is because they found a more suitable place to build the Dengyuan site......"

Be...... Holy City.

After listening to P03's words, the lighthouse boy who was close his eyes and pondered opened his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said, "Do you start to descend matter from a high-altitude sphere?" Steady stream? ”

"Yes, at least it hasn't stopped after a few years." P03.

"Do you have any footage?" The lighthouse boy asked.

"Unfortunately, no. The carriers where many of the key data are located here should have been transferred. "P03." In fact, some of what I just talked about is my own speculation based on their records. ”

"P03, you are a sapient being, and your computing power should be stronger than ours." The lighthouse boy seemed to be thinking about something: "Based on the information you have so far, how fast do you think these falling substances are piling up on the ground, and how fast do you rise?" ”

"Ugh." P03 thought for a moment, "The rate at which matter appears out of thin air seems to be gradually accelerating, so I can't tell the exact time. But I don't think it will take a few years......"

At this point, P03 suddenly stopped talking, as if thinking of something.

I watched as they both fell into an eerie silence at the same time, not understanding what was happening for a moment.

"Uh, any new discoveries?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Ever since I came into this world, I've felt weird." The lighthouse boy said, "Aren't you strange? Why is Wasteland World ...... The terrain is so flat? ”

"Well, it's not a normal natural occurrence...... uh...... "I quickly realized the problem.

Nature.

What is Nature?

It is known that the Source Realm was born before the Wasteland World, and the Wasteland World was essentially born from the "inner world" and "small world" of the Source Realm - then at least the Source Realm is obviously closer to "nature" in this position.

And I vividly remember the first time I entered the Source Realm with the Doctor, overlooking the Giant Flowers and the Steel Forest at the edge of the Broken City, the terrain was one after another...... It's completely different from the Ichimahira River in the wasteland world.

There are also plains in the source realm, but there are also high mountains, low-lying valleys, and oceans......

The wasteland does not. Except for some unusual to abnormal terrain, it is completely "flat".

"So, I used to live in ......" I looked up at the ceiling of the hall, and my eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the cold and silent metal layer, through the deep earth and stone, and see the "ground plane" that did not actually exist—"living in ...... A matter transfer surface? ”

"At least not yet, Buddhism has not detected this phenomenon – I mean the phenomenon of new matter appearing in the heavens and on the ground. It must have stopped teleporting long ago—presumably after it had almost filled the sphere. P03.

I took a deep breath.

In this way, the wasteland world is not a "wasteland" in the first place, but the terrain of the source realm is the same - the water and land are distinct, the mountains are undulating, and the mountains are rugged. But since the appearance of the teleportation surface, the ocean has been filled, the ravines have been smoothed, and everything has been silenced. So there was the "wasteland".

I don't know how long later, the wasteland was born again, a kind of "wasteland ecology" that was completely different from the past.

My feet unconsciously rubbed against the metal floor. They are silent, buried deep in the dark underground for hundreds of years, witnessing the changes of a world, without sorrow or joy, and without the many pains and itches of the world.

It seems that the buildings of the Buddha Gate of the Holy City, and the basement of the ancient castle where the Holy City of the Source Realm is located, are also like them, and most of the time they remain silent. There is a clear difference from the liveliness of the utensils at home in my daily life.

There are various indications that Buddhism is likely to be related to the new Dengyuan site. On the eve of the destruction of the holy city, the Buddhist gate was also "busy" in advance as if it was an unpredictable prophet. Although it is a bit far-fetched to infer this from the similarity of the habits of the buildings, it is indeed possible.

"I see." The lighthouse boy seems to have figured something out. "I know what I'm going to do."

“？”

What do you understand?

Before I could put things in order, the lighthouse boy felt as if he had found his purpose in life, and his whole body was shocked.

"If an iron house is windowless and indestructible, and the people inside are living in peace, then suddenly many cracks appear in the walls, and people cannot get out, but some light comes in from the outside, and a lot of dark filth from the outside world pours in, so that the people in the house can no longer live as before. I ask you, what should you do at this time? ”

The lighthouse boy looked at me and asked.

I thought for a moment and said, "Uh, plug the cracks?" ”

"But the cracks have been around for a long time—the house has been almost completely polluted by the darkness that seeps in from the outside, and even if the cracks are plugged, the house will never return to its original state, and people will have to continue to struggle to adapt to the new room...... And I can't see the light of the outside world anymore. Is it all worth it? ”

I thought, "That'...... Do you want to first throw the dark stains and bad things in the house down the cracks, purify the house, and then plug the cracks? ”

I probably understand that the lighthouse boy is using this metaphor to refer to the current state of the world. Judging from the performance of the second middle school of the lighthouse boy, he estimated that he was going to save the world.

"Of course it works, but it doesn't work." "Just like a flooded ship sailing on the ocean, it is impossible to save it by scooping it out. Moreover, the iron house that is originally intact will 'produce cracks', not to mention the patched house after it has been 'repaired'. ”

"Uh......"

"So, there is only one way to break the game." The lighthouse boy looked firmly: "Completely break down this iron house, let the sunlight completely illuminate the whole space - it doesn't matter what 'the room gets dirty'." ”

...... "I don't know much, but I'm blown away.

"It just so happens that you have an orange, come on, recharge it, and we'll go to the outer world." Lighthouse Boy Road. "Right now, Huang Ji should have finished dealing with him...... If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask. ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at P03 again, "I don't know what the old data you want is referring to...... But come along, Huang Ji will definitely be able to help you too. ”

P03 had been silently looking at us since just now, and a sentence came out in the middle of the night: "Wow." ”

I don't know what that means, but it doesn't stop me from starting to recharge oranges. Take out the black block from the box and feed it to the oranges one by one, and soon the oranges are golden and prosperous, and from the brightness point of view, it definitely supports the three of us to enter the source realm.

Although it is not clear whether P03 can enter the Source Realm by dreaming as a smart machine...... But I guess there should be no problem, after all, oranges are trustworthy.

As for the notebook with the poems and its owner...... It shouldn't be too late to come back from the Source Realm and investigate again.

I lay back in the metal chair and got ready to sleep.

One thing to say, was the designer of a hundred years ago alienated in his brain to design this kind of metal chair that sits up cold?

After struggling for a while in the metal row chairs, I froze and fell asleep.

Cold, shaky......
