Chapter 489: Starry Sky
"It's much prettier than our villa." Alicia said.
After a pause, Alicia said, "But I still prefer our villa." ”
"Nowhere is a beautiful home." Char laughed.
After a pause, Char continued, "Let's go to the main control room and have a look. ”
There are thousands of rooms, and it is still very difficult for people who don't know the overall structure of the ship to find the main control room, so Char and Alicia went around for a few minutes, and it was still a kind of wayfinding magic to find some clues.
They walked up the stairs that resembled a duplex suite into the hallway on the second floor.
The corridor here is even more spacious, like a military column, and the walls on both sides are not lit, but there is a magical bar of light like an aurora overhead that illuminates the corridor.
Under the feet is not an ordinary wooden corridor, but a galaxy, and each bright star is a gemstone reflecting the light emitted by the aurora.
After about three minutes of walking, they entered the cockpit at the top of the ship.
Pushing open the door, there was a huge disc with no obstruction on all sides, with a view of the sea of clouds and Sky Island, as well as a castle docked at the edge of Sky Island and a very unique shape, but the ship was completely out of sight.
Although it appears to be an outdoor environment, they are still indoors, and the surrounding scene is nothing more than a projection.
There is a very unique device in the middle, some of which look like two intersecting apertures, and inside the aperture is a huge earth slowly rotating.
This Earth is almost a perfect replica of the real Earth, but it has shrunk countless times and turned into a sphere with a diameter of only about two meters.
"What is this?" Alicia asked, looking at the Earth, puzzled.
Char also stepped forward slowly, staring at the earth, his gaze gradually enlarging as his gaze began to expand.
They can even see through the clouds to see the earth below.
Char slid the globe and turned to the side of Britannia, where he saw the city from above and below, with all the houses reduced countless times.
They even saw many little people walking on the streets, and the traffic was very busy, like a satellite perspective, observing everything on the earth from the starry sky outside the earth.
"Is this some kind of surveillance magic?" Alicia asked.
Char stretched out his hand and pointed at the land on the outskirts of the imperial capital of Britannia, leaving it with a ray of light.
The spaceship began to move slowly, because the projection images around the disc were also moving, and the surrounding images were rapidly pushing and pulling backwards, and finally turned into afterimages, but they did not feel any impact or wind while standing on the disk.
Soon, as the afterimage gradually stopped, the surrounding picture gradually became clearer.
Almost instantly, Alicia realized that they were near the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, as the Maria Mountains on one side and the snowfields to the north were clearly visible from this angle.
Alicia looked at the Earth, which had shrunk many times on one side, and looked through the clouds, and she saw the ship floating there many times smaller.
"It's supposed to be some kind of map and control." Char muttered softly.
He raised his hand, and the Earth began to shrink, and the next thing they saw was the Moon revolving around it, and Mars on its side.
Eventually, Char continued to shrink, and they saw the dazzling sun, and the moment the star appeared, Alicia even felt that the temperature had risen a lot.
But by the time we got here, it was already the limit.
"So theoretically, is it possible to sail within this solar system?" Char muttered softly.
He quietly stared at the sun, which should have been the maximum range of activities of the gods in the past.
The entire solar system should be considered a whole, but other than that, they can't go too far.
This ship is the technological pinnacle of Norse mythology. Looking at the performance of this ship, it shows that the Protoss is not just a god, but more likely a "civilization" that is far more advanced than humans.
It has its own technical system.
Char found the location of their Avalon Peninsula on the map, clicked on the peninsula, and in that instant, the surrounding image changed rapidly, and they floated above the peninsula.
This should not only be as simple as moving fast, but even turning on high-speed movement when the distance is relatively long.
Char didn't know if the ship had stealth ability, but it was too big to float near the imperial capital for too long and cause a riot, so he drove to the peninsula.
"This ship was carried by the gods of Norse mythology Ragnarok, who took on this ship to face the giants." Char said.
After a pause, "In myths and legends, this ship is not only loaded with the Aesir and Warner Protoss, but also their weapons. ”
Char looked at Alicia, "You say, will there be some treasures left here?" ”
Alicia was also interested, "Where?" ”
Char looked at the miniature version of the Earth in front of him, continued to zoom in on the American continent, quickly found the peninsula, and saw the spaceship floating above the peninsula.
He reached out and tried to click on the ship, only to find that the map in the shape of the Earth had disappeared, replaced by a three-dimensional perspective of the ship.
Even in this perspective, Char and Alicia can be seen in the main control room, and above, Char and Alicia can see the room where they came.
After that, Char searched the ship for a warehouse or something, and soon they found a similar place under the cabin.
It seems to be a wine cellar with a lot of barrels, and it's a very large warehouse.
There's a lot of space magic inside the ship, so some of the rooms are actually much bigger than they seem, especially this wine cellar, which is bigger than the entire ship.
Look at the dwarves in the land of the elves, they also come from Norse mythology, and there is no doubt that the Norse people drank heavily.
When Char's tavern was still open in the land of the elves, I even heard about some dwarves in the past who discarded their weapons and replaced them with wine because they couldn't carry so much wine during war.
However, Char searched around, but he was never able to find the rest of the treasures.
"It looks like it's gone." Alicia said.
Char nodded, but it was not surprising, in fact, even if there were, it was estimated that it was similar to the weapons scattered by Olympus, and most of them had lost the aura of magical power.
In fact, even the Gungunnir that Char obtained before was almost in this state, but because it was an artifact, it was in slightly better condition.
Char looked at the star map in front of him, and an idea sprung up in his heart.
He slowly raised his hand to shrink the star map in front of him to the sun, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed at the sea of stars beyond the earth.
Char raised her hand, and a wave of magic enveloped her and Alicia.
The screen in the main control room began to move rapidly again, and they went straight to space.
The holographic projection around the disc in this main control room is a great vantage point.
At the moment when the spacecraft broke through the atmosphere and came to the outside of the star, Alicia's eyes widened violently.
In fact, Char has been to the extraterrestrial environment in the past two hundred years, but Alicia has not, because her magic is not enough for her to survive extranelarly, and Char does not want to take this risk.
So this is the first time Alicia has seen the Earth outside of the atmosphere.
She used to think it was similar to her looking at the Earth from above, but when she actually came to the extrastellar world, she realized how stupid her old idea was.
Looking down from this angle, the whole globe looks like an oversized blue glass marble.
They are not very far from the earth, and they can still have a clear perspective. They can see the curves of the Earth and the atmosphere.
It was probably the most beautiful sight she had ever seen.
She saw the Himalayas they had been to, and while in the mountains, Alicia had no real sense of the world's highest peak.
But at the moment in space, the Himalayas are like a white dragon, winding across the earth, awe-inspiring.
She also saw the pyramids, which looked like sharp triangles from space, in stark contrast to the surrounding desert and cities.
She also saw the Grand Canyon of Britannia, like a deep knife scar that scratched the red and brown earth, in sharp contrast to the surrounding plains. The Amazon River is like a giant snake that winds its way through the green forest, showing the vitality of life.
It's a completely different feeling from looking at the star map on a spaceship.
When she is on Earth, she will feel that Earth is very big and everything is endless.
Char had spoken to her about the limitations of human beings, but she had always had a hard time understanding.
And when she took a step back and looked at the Earth as a whole from space, she found that the Earth they lived on was simply a desert oasis in the universe.
There is nothing around the earth, no life, incomparable darkness and emptiness, absolutely nothing.
Alicia realizes that leaving the blue planet with everything in it, their lives are incomparably fragile and can provide everything people need.
They soon discovered that there was air inside the spacecraft, and that even the radiation in the universe could not affect them.
Char himself withdrew the magic, and after a moment of exposure in the air, he also unraveled the magic that had shrouded Alicia.
Char's gaze moved away from the earth, looking at the empty cosmic starry sky, there was no starlight, and there were endless darkness all around, like an abyss, which made people feel creepy.
In fact, the question of whether the stars can be seen in space has been raised for a long time.
If it was a very early period, people's answer to this question would definitely be: nonsense, you can see it on the ground, and you can see it more clearly in space?
However, with the upgrading of people's scientific outlook and thinking mode, people have doubts about the phrase "the stars can be seen with the naked eye in space", and this doubt is not unfounded, and it can be seen from the pictures of the moon landing in the United States that the background of the universe is pitch black.
As you can see from the display of the space station, the background of the universe is also pitch black.
People began to wonder if there were really no stars in space. As soon as this conclusion came out, some people speculated that the fundamental reason why the stars can be seen on Earth and cannot be seen in space is the atmosphere.
The Earth's atmosphere acts as a lens, magnifying the light and allowing us to see the twinkling stars in the sky, but without this lens, the starlight will be very weak and difficult to observe with the naked eye.
This conclusion is very convincing, Char once thought so.
However.
Char came to the side of the star map and began to input magic power, manipulating the ship to start moving, and came to the back side of the earth.
It is night on this side of the human race, and the sunlight is blocked by the earth, and it can't shine on this side.
As Alicia adjusted to the light, her eyes widened slightly.
In the vastness of the universe, the pale white starlight emitted by the stars and the rest of the stars flows through the universe, like countless diamonds set in the riverbed.
It's much more shocking than looking at the stars from Earth.
Of course, the stars can be seen in space. There are two reasons why the background of the universe is black in those pictures, one is because it is on the sunny side, such as the moon, and the moon's daytime sky is also dark.
The sun is strong and it is natural to see the stars. Another reason is that due to the accuracy of some shooting instruments, the faint starlight is not enough to take pictures on the camera.
Looking at the vast sea of stars, Char's voice echoed on this platform.
"The darker the sky, the brighter the stars, and the same is true of people, where there is despair, there will always be hope." (End of chapter)
