Chapter 428 We are back, no one is missing!
"In addition, we believe that this large underground fissure is shrinking very slowly."
"In theory, matter is indestructible, and some components are eaten in and pulled out again. But this big crack is indeed slowly shrinking."
"It's just that the volume of rock, soil, and sand here is too large for most people to notice. Perhaps, after tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, it will disappear."
Everyone was chatting as they walked, and they also sprayed a lot of smelly gas along the way, making the whole place stink.
This adventure was relatively smooth. We did not encounter large numbers of Zerg armies, and the Underground Alliance also conducted a detailed reconnaissance of the surrounding terrain.
It took everyone half a day to reach the surface easily.
Climbing up the steep cliff, basking in the bright sunshine, and thinking back to the more than one month underground, I felt as if I was reborn.
Or... it's a good time to pick mushrooms! Because the altitude here is so high, the gray clouds are right under your feet.
And right above the sky, we are almost reaching the legendary "Gongfeng Layer" with extremely chaotic airflow... According to the documents of the Green Civilization, after breaking through the atmosphere, the external idealistic radiation is extremely chaotic, and even a serious spacecraft cannot sustain life for long.
It is necessary to realize space technology and escape from this time and space in order to avoid the disaster of the era...but that is another higher-level technological route.
Looking down at the big crack, Lu Yuan seemed to be facing endless space and time, which was filled with hot magma and thick darkness.
This great rift hides the dark side of the world, filled with unspeakable chaos.
A terrifying thought suddenly occurred to him: "It seems that the [worm] was born from the corpse of the [demon]... Could it be that this is a dead [demon]..."
This crack runs east to west, is tens of thousands of kilometers long, and thousands of kilometers wide. If it really is the corpse of a demon... it is really beyond imagination.
Moreover, "the insect was born from the corpse of the monster" was just Lu Yuan's guess, and the final truth could not be verified.
The group climbed over the top of the mountain and started to go down the mountain. After dozens of kilometers, they saw the "frontline investigation fortress" built by humans.
A flag with a picture of a city in the sky fluttered in the wind. It was the flag that symbolized the Green City.
"Hey—we're back!"
It was indeed moving to return to the familiar outpost after more than a month.
People were checking their physical conditions in the safe house. Seeing the familiar people and objects, Lu Yuan's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, as if a burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
The other human staff were in a similar situation. They all jumped on the ground or breathed a sigh of relief.
Only the 48 members of the underground alliance were shaking their heads in excitement.
The bright sunlight was indeed a bit dazzling to the underground races, and they were not used to it.
But just wear a pair of sunglasses to block out the sunlight.
Niu Ba shouted loudly: "This fortress on the surface is so magnificent!"
"Haha...I, Old Niu, was a bricklayer a long time ago. Commander Lu, how about you hire me to carry cement for you? I, Niu Ba, am the best warrior underground."
"Why don't you slowly move to the surface?" Lu Yuan asked, "With your technological capabilities, it shouldn't be difficult to build this kind of building, right?"
"Alas, there are too many bottles and jars, and I can't bear to throw them away." The team's main leader, Oshima Tsuyoshi, shook his head.
Although the underground environment is not very good, the resources are extremely abundant.
The Underground Alliance has basically completed the goal of making all people at Level 2. That's tens of millions of people at Level 2, which is 100 times more difficult than the Sky City! If we go to the surface, where are the resources...
Lu Yuan said he understood: "Well, our Sky City travels far and wide just to acquire resources... You actually already have them."
"Come, this way please. This is just an outpost. The rear base is thousands of kilometers away."
Humans have built a small airport here.
The plane was specially made, with no windows in the cabin and some special protective materials, so these underground people actually didn't know the specific direction of the human city.
Its speed was much faster than that of the "Sky Fortress". It traveled 6,000 kilometers and arrived at the small sky city in almost 10 hours.
With a slight "boom" sound, the plane landed smoothly.
"Swish——" the hatch opened.
Compared with the majestic underground rift, the City in the Sky is like a small, delicate stone, but it contains all people's hopes.
After being away for more than a year, the city seems to have changed its appearance.
The foundation of the new urban area has been basically completed and the area has been expanded significantly.
The old city, the new city, the green mountains and the coral island, these four areas together can easily accommodate the daily life of a population of one million.
Of course, the completion of the foundation does not necessarily mean that people can live there. The details such as decoration, water, electricity, and landscaping will take a long time, and the expansion of the population will also take time.
A large artificial glass greenhouse was built above the stump of the poppy tree - this was also planned long ago. This glass greenhouse can transmit sunlight and has certain defensive properties.
In other words, the huge tree stump can no longer be seen with the naked eye from the outside, and the safety of the poppy tree is fully guaranteed.
In addition, there is a 2 square kilometer military zone and foreign exchange area on the periphery.
This "external communication area" can facilitate the reception of foreign guests and expose the secrets of the Sky City as little as possible.
Accompanied by the soft music of "Jasmine Flower", a large number of government officials have been looking forward to it! There are also neatly arranged soldiers and hundreds of power armors, saluting together.
Several red banners were hung on the rail train: "Welcome the Underground Alliance to visit the Green City and create a brilliant and beautiful future together!"
Lu Yuan was the first to get off the plane and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene in front of him made him feel a subtle emotion. Giving civilization to the years, giving life to time, is the meaning of life for this moment? The joy of returning home in glory, is it like this from time to time? He saw the tearful "maid lady", the immortal giant turtle with its head tilted up, and the old cat hiding in the crowd.
And the evil and crazy old wolf, with his tongue hanging out and his tail shaking like an electric fan! This old guy with a legendary journey is so intimate! And... the little mirage dragon!
After not seeing it for a year, the little mirage dragon has grown a little bigger again. It puffs out smoke and surrounds itself with it, as if it is a little shy.
But the sparkling eyes were as curious as ever - where have you been, Old Lu, for so many days? And... countless familiar people.
With a quiet yet turbulent mood, there is only one word to describe this feeling - solid!
It seemed as if all of a sudden, everything was put aside.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lu Yuan cleared his throat and said softly: "Hello, friends! We are back, and no one is missing!"
"We successfully completed the frontline investigation mission and made new friends!"
"Let us express our sincerest welcome to the Underground Alliance with warm applause!"
"Fire a salute!"
“Boom! Boom!”
The salute booms!
The loud applause was like a thunderstorm.
Amidst such a grand reception ceremony, 48 representatives from the 12 races of the Underground Alliance walked down from the plane with beaming faces.
There was a red carpet under my feet, and there were human etiquette ladies around giving me flowers.
This ceremony was indeed very well done - well, the Underground Alliance is a big moneymaker for humans, so it doesn't cost anything to give them some face! The Bull-Headed Chief grinned and said loudly, "Haha, you're welcome, you're very polite."
"Underground, we didn't even dare to fire the cannon. It was so cowardly."
"Hey, there's actually a turtle there, and a bunch of ratmen, staring at us!"
"They really have many races here! Take us Tauren as well. I can be your..."
"Be quiet! Don't talk nonsense!" Oshima Ko was anxious and quickly pressed a remote control button.
"Zizila!" Suddenly, high voltage electricity was generated on the bracelets of these cows, which made their whole bodies numb, and they shivered and could not speak.
These are the three rules made in advance. If the Minotaur tribe wants to be diplomats, they must carry an electric shock device to prevent them from talking nonsense!
The Minotaur was a little sad and almost shed bitter tears.
The representatives of other races were much more reliable. When they got off the plane, they secretly observed everything here.
“This is…”
"Are the cities that are commonly built in the outside world... really able to float?"
The Sky City is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. There are many hollow designs in the middle for lighting. There is always some sunshine at a certain time of the day.
Most of the residential buildings are embedded in the walls, which can effectively avoid disasters.
There are not many tall buildings, the highest being only 40 meters high.
The number of glyphs... is really a lot!
There are also huge sewer projects, rail transit, industrial factories, energy systems, reservoirs and warehouses, defense systems...
We have to admit that the devil is in the details! For example, if a sewer is blocked, the lives of all residents will be affected.
There is also the city’s greening. This city is truly surrounded by green plants, and the lush vitality is so abundant that it is a little unusual.
And these details can only be perfected in practice.
If they also want to build a city in the sky, there are so many things to learn.
But, how should I put it... Humans will not take the initiative to sell this knowledge. After all, it involves the secrets of civilization and it is impossible to sell it.
But if you can learn some details through observation, people won't stop you.
