Chapter 204 Extra: Swimming Fish Transformed into Flying Birds
(Extra added temporarily as a commemoration)
Time: After the start of the second semester, mid-February.
Location: Inita Academy
After class, students walked on the spacious steps of the seven-story tower. Outside the tall pillars, they could see the blue sky outside. Occasionally, some birds swooped down from the sky, passing through the seven-story tower, and the school building area in front and below.
White birds passed by, and these flying birds were like white pearl necklaces passing through this magnificent building, dotted against the background of the verdant mountains and fields, and were particularly beautiful.
Tilan and Mel held their books and looked down, gazing at this short and beautiful scenery.
"Spring is here." Mel whispered softly.
"It's a pity that among all the northern districts, only here can we see the verdant green." She remembered something.
"Tilan, do you know about giant companies?"
"I know a little bit. They are said to be companies with various unique technologies or extremely powerful influence."
"That's true, but not many people know the true strength of giant companies." Mel shook her head, her dark purple hair tied up behind her head and rolled to one side in front of her.
"If you want to change the climate and poisonous rain problem of the entire Emerald Skirt, it's not impossible." She suddenly talked about the pain in the north for many years.
"In the distant Beixuan Star Region, there lives a special sea beast called the Cloud Swallowing Beast. It is a special beast of Tide Sequence 8. It is said to be a descendant of the Cloud Splitting Beast in ancient times. It can tear space, travel through heaven and earth, and swallow the sea of clouds." Mel stopped.
"This type of giant beast lives around gas planets all year round, devouring the inexhaustible combustible atmosphere and often sneaking into the interior of the gas planets, making it difficult for outsiders to observe and capture them."
"However, even for such powerful and giant beasts, there are people who try to communicate with them and look for the possibility of cooperation."
"'Wind Whale Courtyard', this is not only a courtyard for cultivating extraordinary life, but also the name of a giant enterprise."
"The predecessor of our school, 'Wind Kite Courtyard' came from one of its branches, but the two have been separated for almost 700 years."
"Riding the Cloud-Swallowing Wind Whales that shuttled through the starry sea, the ancestors of the 'Wind Kite Courtyard' passed through several star fields, looking for a place to build a courtyard. The whale herding career for many years was very boring, and they longed for a more colorful and vibrant world."
"So they encountered the Emerald Skirt planet that was still being cultivated with great difficulty. At that time, the Emerald Skirt was still barren, with a thin atmosphere. Only the magnificent purple ocean attracted the attention of passing travelers."
"Green photons carry the highest energy in the solar spectrum band. After absorbing and utilizing these photons, the reflected light lacks green and appears purple."
"The purple algae throughout the ocean absorb the energy in the sunlight, then decompose water to produce oxygen to precipitate sulfides in the atmosphere and iron in the seawater."
"Although this can transform the planet's environment, the instability of the planet's core at that time led to successive volcanic eruptions and huge amounts of toxic substances rushing into the atmosphere, which exceeded the ocean's purification capacity. A large number of algae began to die. If not handled in time, the planet's transformation plan may have to be extended for hundreds of years, and by then the Planet Transformation Planning Committee would have insufficient funds."
"So the committee at that time turned to the wandering ancestors of the 'Wind Kite Courtyard' for help, and finally promised to return a vibrant planet, and the ancestors of the Wind Kite Courtyard agreed to help this time."
"The cloud-swallowing wind whales swam and swallowed and digested a large amount of toxic gases, which greatly reduced the damage to the marine algae, but the consequence was that those wind whales died one after another in the next few decades."
"Later, the Emerald Skirt planet was finally transformed successfully. A large amount of oxygen formed a shielding ozone layer, and plants could grow on the ground. As batches of plants that improved the soil were scattered, the originally barren planet began to show various colorful colors and gradually became full of vitality."
"The committee fulfilled its promise. They gave a large area of land in the north of the planet to the ancestors of the 'Wind Kite Courtyard' to build their new home and courtyard, ending their century-long wandering career."
"Thus, the real 'Wind Kite Courtyard' was established. Although there were no more Cloud Swallowing Wind Whales, they raised various birds that were good at flying, and also cultivated silver-scaled fish that could swim in the sky. These were extraordinary creatures with the tiny genes of the Cloud Swallowing Wind Whale."
"Heading towards a colorful world, the 'Wind Kite Courtyard' finally cultivated the Sky-Revelation Wind Kite that reached Sequence 8. The swimming fish in the sea finally turned into flying birds, and this also announced their parting ways with the former 'Wind Whale Courtyard'."
"However, the good times did not continue. As a newly reclaimed planet at the time, the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region was discovered to have many rare minerals. Coupled with the large amount of available water resources, it became an excellent industrial production site."
"Because of these conditions, during the war, the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region received a large amount of resources and personnel injection. The newly established planet ushered in rapid development, and countless high-rise buildings rose from the ground. The residents who became wealthy because of the emerging industry also arbitrarily built various grand landscapes to record the moment when it gradually reached its peak."
"I'm sure everyone knows what happened later."
"The poisonous rain poured down, and a large number of vegetation on the surface died. The buildings corroded and collapsed. The once prosperous 'Wind Kite Courtyard' also gradually died. Now only our small school is lingering."
After saying that, Mel sighed and picked up the cat in his arms and rubbed it.
"In fact, my ancestors are descendants of the Wind Kite Courtyard, so I know so much."
"Since there is a solution, why don't you ask the 'Wind Whale Courtyard' for help?" The girl was a little puzzled.
"No, it can't be done." Mel shook his head.
"First of all, it's too far away. The Cloud-Swallowing Wind Whales are too large to travel on starships. Although they have the ability to travel faster than the speed of light, it will still take hundreds of years for them to travel south from the distant Beixuan Star Region."
"In addition, the parting of ways between our ancestors was actually somewhat out of anger. The relationship between the two sides was not that good, and if the climate of the Emerald Skirt is to be reversed, it is estimated that a lot of Cloud-Swallowing Wind Whales will have to be sacrificed. We can't talk about such things."
"So, sometimes I feel sad. If our ancestors had not chosen to stop on this planet, would there be another future? Or maybe if the civil war had not broken out, the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region would have developed normally, and the 'Wind Kite Courtyard' should have flourished. As time goes by, multiple Sequence 8 Sky Oracle Wind Kites may not be able to change the environment."
"This is how the times change. Sometimes even if you know the correct answer, you can only do nothing about it."
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Heshia, do you want to come to my house to play? My house is in the North First District, and your grandma has always wanted to see you."
"Your grandma?" the girl was curious.
"Yes, she is one of the directors of the academy, so she knows you. I have told her a lot about our life in the academy before, and she seems to like you very much."
"Meeting... But I may be busy recently, so let's wait for a while. When I finish my training this time, I will visit your home."
"It's a deal, Heshia." Mel stretched out her finger.
"It's a deal." The girl smiled and hooked the finger, making a promise.
