Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

A scorching sun that shines brightly in a summer day.

In a round of winter, the sun is hazy and orange-red.

Between the two suns, there is a scene of dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

There is also a large area where the blue sky and white clouds cannot be seen at all, but the black night sky and the vast sea of ​​stars.

In the seemingly unattainable but extremely chaotic sky, there is even a large area full of holes, like a beehive, like an invisible giant beast, which opened its bloody mouth and devoured the sky. Potholes.

Through the ugly holes, faint metal domes and even fragmented rock formations can be seen faintly.

Meng Chao's thoughts turned.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath.

Sure enough, although he seemed to be standing in the middle of the field.

Inhale the air in the lungs, but there is no refreshing freshness.

He neither smelled the fragrance of flowers or grass.

I didn't smell the unique smell of earth when the thunderstorm fell.

Instead, there was a lingering rancid smell in the air, as well as a faint smell of disinfectant.

Even the scorching hot summer sun in the sky shone on his face and hands, but he didn't feel the slightest burning sensation.

It's like, everything - blue sky, white clouds, scorching sun, thunderclouds, fields, mountains, cities, abysses.

It's just a painting hanging on the wall, not a real scene.

"ah!"

Meng Chao roared towards the horizon.

The sound wave that was supposed to be transmitted to the distance like a sea wave hit an invisible barrier after a short moment, rolled back, and turned into layers of echoes: "Ah... ah... ah... ah... …ah……"

This is enough to show that the space Meng Chao is in is not as vast as it seems.

The surroundings are not real mountains and rivers, and naturally the sky above is not real.

It's the cold wall, the shell of the spaceship that brought the Turanian civilization to this planet.

"What I saw should be projected onto the outer shell of the spacecraft, something like a 'holographic projection'.

"The activity space in the spaceship is destined not to be too large. Living in such an iron coffin for a long time, floating in the vast sea of ​​stars, rushing from the long-destroyed homeland to the extremely slim hope-in ​​such an environment and In this state, the crew is prone to 'claustrophobia', delirium, and frenzy.

"If a large number of display screens can be installed on the inner wall of the cabin, or holographic projection technology can be used to create the effect of nature, making people mistakenly believe that they are in the vast expanse of heaven and earth, it will greatly comfort the homesickness of the crew.

"The same is true in Dragon City. I heard that during the cruelest years of the monster war, two-thirds of the main urban area was burnt to ashes. Many citizens lived in residential buildings converted into fortresses for many years. , Fear, and even despair, the windows were transformed into electronic display screens, simulating the effects of beautiful wind and sunny days, singing birds and fragrant flowers, and gurgling water.

"Since the Turan people are not much different from the Earth people physically, everyone's spiritual needs should also be the same.

"It's just that it has been tens of thousands of years since this spaceship traveled deep into the crust of another world.

"Even if the Turanian civilization has advanced technology in the field of materials science, it cannot prevent this spaceship from slowly rusting, damaging and collapsing.

"As a result, the orderly natural scene that was supposed to surround the inner wall of the spacecraft has become mottled, riddled with holes, and messed up.

"Having said that, these 'holographic projections' still exist, indicating that the spacecraft has not completely lost its function.

"Although the air here is thin and stuffy, it barely meets the breathing needs of large carbon-based intelligent life forms. There are not too many toxins and impurities in the air. Earthlings whose physical fitness exceeds the average line don't even need to carry oxygen tanks. You can directly go deep here—as a spaceship that has fallen for thousands of years and has been dormant for three thousand years, it is already very powerful to be able to maintain the internal environment to this extent.

"In short, this spaceship, or as the Turan people call it - 'City of Falling Stars', is very valuable for development and utilization.

"However, from another point of view, since holographic projections always exist, and the temperature and oxygen content here are always maintained at the level where carbon-based intelligent life can survive, then it is very likely that there is 'living' some something like the totem beast we found up there."

Meng Chao was thinking silently in his heart.

Suddenly, I heard the shout of "Jackal" Kanus from a seemingly empty place not far away.

He was slightly taken aback, raised his vigilance, and took a few steps forward.

It was as if it had crashed through the curtain in a movie theater, and the holographic projections of the sky, clouds, and wind-blown grassland just now disappeared, leaving only innumerable afterimages like mirages, still lingering.

Without the cover of the holographic projection, the so-called "City of Falling Stars" revealed the tip of the iceberg in front of Meng Chao.

The real "City of Falling Stars" is a metal jungle composed of criss-crossing, meandering, and intricate huge pipes.

Even the thinnest pipe is thicker than the girth of an elephant warrior.

The thickest pipe can even accommodate a Dragon City armored airship, rampaging inside.

There are also handrails and ladders on the pipes, allowing people to climb up and down and walk through the gaps in the pipes.

Standing in front of this metal jungle made up of endless pipes, Meng Chao felt like a tiny ant that strayed into the giant's palace and saw the beams supporting the palace.

Despite the erosion of tens of thousands of years, many pipelines still seem to be rumbling, like mysterious giant beasts, moving forward at lightning speed inside the pipelines with a diameter of more than three to five meters or even ten or twenty meters...

Meng Chao noticed that the outer walls of almost all the pipes were densely engraved with countless mysterious and complicated runes.

Even through the torn parts of several deformed, distorted and fragmented pipes, it can be seen that the inner wall of the pipe is also covered with similar runes.

He inexplicably felt that these runes looked familiar.

His mind turned, and he quickly remembered that he had seen similar runes on the "planetary surface short-distance jumping device" of the Dragon City Ruins Research Institute.

"Planet surface short-distance jumping device" is a by-product of the "traversal technology research and development project" of the Institute of Relics.

The source of its technology is the power that instantly transfers Dragon City from the earth to another world.

"Could it be that the huge system composed of these giant pipes is the legendary 'traversal engine', which can convert hundreds of millions of tons of matter into astronomical pure energy, and penetrate the four-dimensional space through the promotion of space ripples, and then Recombination into 100% identical matter - in this way, to carry out interstellar travel that is almost impossible in the three-dimensional universe?"

Meng Chao couldn't take his eyes off it, and was amazed.

It wasn't until "Jackal" Kanus not far away called him again that he reluctantly looked away.

The eyes cast on the wolf king are full of strong thirst for knowledge and full of anticipation.

The wolf king frowned and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm waiting for you to explain, what exactly is this place, and what are these huge pipes for?"

Meng Chao said, "Also, what are we going to find in the depths of the Holy Mountain Temple, and what should we do next?"

The wolf king was serious and deep in thought.

He put the index finger and middle finger of both hands together, first gently rubbed his temples, and then pinched it from the bridge of the nose to the center of the eyebrows, the corners of his eyes kept twitching, as if he was caught in a distant memory.

Finally, the wolf king suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of energy.

"I don't know," he said apologetically.

"Are you kidding me?"

Meng Chao couldn't believe it, "How could you not know?"

"The holy mountain temple has been sealed for three thousand years. Before you and me, no one has ever set foot on the top of the holy mountain. So, how can I know what the interior of the holy mountain temple looks like, and we have to How can we find the huge legacy gifted by the ancestors?" The wolf king was full of calm.

"But, but—"

Meng Chao was going crazy, "You know the Achilles' heel of that fusion beast, you know how to follow the cracks in the earth to find the giant hole leading directly to the holy mountain temple, you know how to pass through the magic storm in the giant hole, you even know, When facing the 'totem pole' statue at the entrance of the temple, fight it instead of kneeling and surrendering - you know so many secrets, it means you have been here before, and even opened the entrance to the holy mountain temple.

"Then, how could you not know the internal structure of the Holy Mountain Temple and the truth about the heritage of the ancestral spirits?"

"because……"

The Wolf King frowned, as if he had been thinking about it for a long time, and he didn't know how to explain what happened to him. Finally, he could only forcefully say, "Well, you can understand that I have indeed been here, but last time we When I came here, I just climbed to the top of the holy mountain, met the fusion beast, found the huge hole leading directly to the temple of the holy mountain, analyzed the shape of the magic storm, and sacrificed dozens of lives before I found it. Ways to pass the 'totem pole' test.

"But at that time, we... fell short and did not enter the holy mountain temple."

"Wait, us?"

Meng Chao had a keen sense of the secret, "Who are 'we'?"

"It's another expedition."

The wolf king said, "You know, in order to help the Lion King explore the way forward, I have led people into the Holy Mountain of Turan many times."

"Isn't it?"

Meng Chao stared at the wolf king and said, "You have indeed gone deep into the holy mountain of Turan many times, but you have never climbed to the top of the holy mountain. Otherwise, the super-giant war wreckage on the ruins of the ancient battlefield is so fragile. will leave traces.

"Also, you have never seen that fusion beast before, otherwise you wouldn't be so embarrassed, as if you didn't suddenly remember its fatal weakness until the last moment.

"As for going through the magic storm and cracking the 'totem pole', it doesn't even make sense-if you really took the expedition team, landed at the bottom of the giant cave, on the shell of the holy mountain temple, or even passed the 'totem pole' 'The test, with your ambition, will you just hang around outside but not go in, and go back to the house obediently, and report to the Lion King?

"I want to believe you too, but with so many doubts, it's completely contradictory.

"If you sincerely hope for 'sincere cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win', you should at least give me a reasonable explanation. Even if it's a lie, at least it should be more logical and technical?"
