The weeping sky had been brewing for a long time, and finally it was raining heavily.

The raindrops fell on the leaves with a pleasant crisp ticking sound, the dense canopy of trees obscured most of the raindrops, and the ground was not so embarrassed, only damp moisture.

Qiao Du stood under the tree and looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, a low, muffled sound erupted from the clouds.

The leaves began to tremble unnaturally, and the trunk shook as if it were a sign of some impending disaster.

Through the cracks in the trees, Twilight could see the sky in the distance begin to burn.

The endless clouds were scorched, evaporated, and turned a dark red from the original leaden gray.

The next moment, the fiery cloud came towards this direction, silently skimming the sky, and streaked a trail over the gloomy black cloud, like a sword opening the sky, and even the shower stopped.

"I don't know what this thing is?"

Qiao Du sighed.

After that, he and Qianyun walked for another half a month, and came across a petite ruin, a small lake, and a group of strangely shaped beasts, but no other traces of metal were found, and the remains of the machine dragon seemed to be an accident, and happened to fall around the town.

The essence of the development of civilization is also a collection of coincidences, countless small probability events in the long river of time under the erosion of sand into a tower, and finally there is life, with civilization, it can be said that it is accidental, it can also be said that it is the inevitability of fate.

As for the research and development of the rocket, it was all done, and although Qiao Du and Asamu didn't provide much help, even if the two of them walked around this foreign land for a month, at least they made sure that no beasts would attack the town.

"Maybe it's a machine dragon."

Asuimo rested his hand on the wet bark, feeling the dull roughness.

"Quite possibly."

Qiao Du felt that what Qianyun said made sense.

On the one hand, we already know that there was once a mechanical civilization in this world, in which the main body was composed of mechanical life, and through the contact between the logical core and the metal, it was able to expand itself and recover from damage.

On the other hand, when the restored machine dragon flew into the sky, the giant beast in the sky that would not have appeared immediately appeared, which caused people to reverie.

It is obviously more reasonable to explain phenomena by what is already there than to imagine a god.

"But that thing is too fast, it has to be a super powerful machine dragon."

According to the speed judged by the artificial intelligence, the speed of this so-called god exceeded Mach 10, which was more than that of the machine dragon, and judging by the level of mechanical civilization, it might be much more advanced than the one they encountered.

This makes people think about the question of whether mechanical civilization still exists.

"Who knows, maybe we'll know the answer when we can surpass it."

Asamu didn't care.

Because of the coming of that thing, the clouds disappeared, and the sun came out of the clouds and shone on the earth.

"At least, we know, it should fly between the troposphere and the stratosphere."

Although Qiao Dui's geography is not very good, she has heard about it on the Internet, especially after watching many cases of aerial catastrophes, and still knows concepts such as stratosphere and troposphere.

Cumulonimbus clouds are generally in the troposphere, and when they reach the stratosphere, like the sea of clouds in the Valley of the Winds, there are almost no clouds, and there are no such variable weather conditions.

Since you can see the movement of the giant beast in the sky from the ground, and its arrival affects the clouds and the weather, it is clear that the altitude is between the stratosphere and the troposphere.

The premise is that the atmospheric conditions of the school city are the same as the world where Qiao Dui is located, and Qiao Dui currently looks no different from this.

"So what?"

The shallow clouds can't understand the stratospheric troposphere, they can only understand that the thing is flying relatively low.

"Judging by the size of the sight, and the distance, it shouldn't be bigger than the size of that town."

Qiao Du said again.

"This size really doesn't look like a god."

"Does God have to be great?"

Asanomo asked rhetorically.

"Big is beautiful, more is good."

Qiao Du said firmly.

"What kind of fallacy is this?"

The light clouds are unknown.

"I watched it in the video."

Qiao Dui's eyes were clear, like a student who had just entered college.

At this time, the drone he sent seemed to have found something again and reported back the information.

"Looks like I've found something again."

Without Xiao Ai's assistance, Qiao Du could only roughly know what the drone had encountered, but as for what it was, he didn't know.

"Let's go, let's see."

Qianyun acted immediately.

The two walked for some distance in the damp forest, and soon, the two saw the border of the forest, and there seemed to be a crater similar to the one that the dragon had fallen before.

However, when crossing the jungle and coming to the border, this is not the case.

"Isn't this a bit out of place?"

Qiao Twilight turned her head to look at the light clouds.

"No, it confirms what I think."

Qianyun was not in a hurry and walked forward.

In the town, Kiriyama looked up and saw that this five-meter-tall rocket that might be the first rocket in the history of the school's civilization.

Reconstructed from the core of the machine dragon, this rocket theoretically has the ultimate performance close to the first cosmic speed according to Ah Guang's calculations, and can cruise at this speed for at least three minutes.

If you want to transcend the gods in heaven, it seems that you are close at hand.

"Strange."

It's just that when Kiriyama wanted to tell Qiao Du about this, they found that Xiao Ai's communication had been interfered with.

"Is it too far away?"

Kiriyama asked.

"Not sure, there could be a number of reasons, distance, signal strength, interference, trying to reconnect."

In the palm of his hand, the artificial intelligence replied.

"Why is there a moth at this time?"

Kiriyama frowned.

In the distance, in the leaden-gray clouds, burning flames were brewing, and the behemoths of the sky were coming towards the town, as always.

However, it probably never occurred to him that the human race, who had been looking up to Him on the ground in the past, would one day make something comparable to Him.

Just like a human in a hurry, never aware of the action of the ants, only one day, the ants crawling in the garden make a huge scarecrow, and those passers-by will stop and be amazed.

"We can't contact them, do we still want to launch?"

Kiriyama looked at Hikari.

"Today is the best time to do it, the moisture in the air can delay the overheating, and if you miss it, you may have to wait longer."

Ah Guang muttered.

The hazy sky at this moment is the most suitable weather for rockets to shuttle in it.

"We have to launch, and even if we fail, we can get valuable data."

He said earnestly.

"Okay, they shouldn't be able to do anything anyway."

Kiriyama spread out his hands, those two people pay attention to one can't die, even if something goes wrong, Kiriyama is out of reach now, and it is difficult to help, it is better to focus on the task that may be completed in front of them, no matter what trouble they encounter, as long as the task is completed, they will always be able to leave here.

"Ready to launch."

Ako looked at the rocket.
