Tiago Carlieto followed Greg Yorn obediently and continued to move forward.
Various things in Academy City.
He was also dazzled along the way.
Not long.
The dome above began to flicker.
Before Tiago Carlieto could ask, he saw an extremely huge figure covering most of the sky.
Was it a fish? Was it a bird? For a moment, Tiago Carlieto could not tell what the beast that passed through the dome was.
only.
In a trance.
Tiago Carlieto remembered a sentence he had once heard from a Chinese friend.
【Wings like clouds hanging from the sky】
This giant beast in the sky is so aptly described with this sentence.
Those outstretched wings.
It is definitely bigger than the clouds in the sky.
He wanted to scream out loud.
But the surprises along the way had made him numb.
And looking at the pedestrians around him, they just looked up and had no extra expression.
Tiago Carlieto understands.
Such scenes may be encountered frequently in the eternal daylight in the future.
It’s probably not a big scene.
“Those are the freshmen who chose to take the water route.”
Greg John saw Tiago Carlieto staring at Kun in the sky in a daze.
So he began to explain to him.
These words also made Tiago Carlieto stunned.
"waterway?"
"But……"
Tiago Carlieto was a little confused.
The giant beast floating above the sky was indeed being scanned and detected by various formations that appeared out of thin air, just like when he first arrived.
It really looks like he just brought back a new student.
only……
What puzzled Tiago Carlieto was: the giant beast was clearly flying into the venue, so why did it say it was traveling by water?
"Its name is Kun. It just dealt with several nuclear power plants that exploded in the disaster some time ago. Now it has been sent here to take care of the new students."
"It also has a form that transforms into a large fish."
"The new students had cast a water-repellent magic array on its back before they wandered in the sea until here."
"Until I turned into a bird at the coast not far from Tromsø, and then soared into the sky and flew here."
Greg Yorn explained Tiago Carlieto's doubts very well.
The new students brought by Kun were indeed the ones who chose to travel by water.
They spend most of their time in the water.
They can be on Kun's back.
Appreciate the profound and depressing deep sea scenery.
You can also experience the feeling of flying into the sky after arriving near Tromsø.
Overall.
It is one of the more interesting and shocking modes of transportation.
"Then...what about choosing the sky?"
Tiago Carlieto asked with some curiosity.
I will try out other modes of transportation soon.
He wanted to know some information as soon as possible.
"Hey, have you heard of orbital skydiving?"
“The kind without an umbrella bag.”
Greg Yorn looked at the curious Tiago Carlieto and chuckled.
There was a hint of gloating in his tone.
These interesting and exciting projects are the result of collective thinking by these seniors.
The purpose is to give the newlyweds a little courtesy.
Those who choose the earth will be transformed into human high-speed railways on an adventure to the center of the earth.
Those who choose the ocean will ride on ancient strange beasts to the bottom of the blue sky.
As for choosing the sky.
It will be an exciting skydiving experience from far above low-Earth orbit.
They will be sent to low-Earth orbit by Yong Zhou using special means, and then ruthlessly thrown directly in the direction of Tromsø.
This is called skydiving.
But in fact, there was no umbrella bag at all.
Only the protective runes covering their entire bodies prevented the freshmen from falling to death.
Of course, the freshmen themselves don't know this.
They were given a simple mental induction, and only realized that they did not seem to have an umbrella bag on them when they were pushed down.
This can help the new students understand the most authentic process of falling.
“No… no umbrella bag?!”
Tiago Carlieto's eyes widened.
When he heard about orbital skydiving, he thought it was nothing special.
Although it is difficult, it is also exciting.
But it's barely acceptable.
But when I heard that there was no umbrella bag.
He immediately suppressed the urge to speak out.
Although I can now guess that in this situation without an umbrella bag, Yong Zhou will definitely add some protective measures to ensure that people are safe.
But when he goes up, Yong Zhou will definitely give him some mental hints so that he will always feel that he has an umbrella bag on him before he jumps.
Join the Path of Eternal Day.
In fact, there is still a long way to go.
………………………………
Mars manned spacecraft.
Four astronauts from several major countries were lying in the camp built with the help of the New Qin Empire.
Hongcheng Sun, Giovanni Gabrielli, Dieter Jung, Qiya Weibena.
The four of them have nothing to do now.
The Earth sent over some simple information, which roughly explained the current situation.
To sum up:
BNULM is gone, and no further efforts will be made to explore Mars in the short term.
Now the task of the survivors around the world is to work hard to restore order, and they don’t have much energy to organize things like going to Mars to pick people up.
It just so happened that the manned spacecraft had sufficient energy supply and organic material production capabilities, enough for the four of them to survive for a long time.
so.
The Earth has temporarily extended the plan to bring them back to Earth indefinitely.
The four of them.
Became the loneliest person in this post-order era.
They are far away in space.
There is no way to return to Earth on your own.
Looking at the glass cover that isolates the harsh external environment.
Qiya Weibena sighed and said, "Although we learned from the last communication that our relatives are basically fine, it is still a bit lonely to be alone on Mars with nothing to do."
"There is also the New Qin that is developing rapidly on Mount Olympus. We can see their rockets launching into space every day."
"It's not that lonely."
Dieter Jung responded with a smile.
But most of this laughter was filled with helplessness.
After all, the four people present knew that the New Qin Empire only had one consciousness, AI Zheng.
It's just an artificial intelligence.
The four of them were indeed alone.
So no one else present said anything and no one responded to Dieter Jung's words.
As for asking the New Qin Empire to send them back, they had also thought about it.
Just because they asked someone to give them a ride, they already owed him a favor.
Now everyone can’t die on Mars.
Plus, my family on Earth is fine too.
There's no need to look for someone else deliberately.
so……
These days.
Basically, after completing some simple observation and material collection tasks, the few of them lay down together under the glass cover provided by the New Qin Empire during the previous exchanges and cooperation.
The same is true today.
A feeling of boredom surrounded everyone.
After a while.
The experience of those two people driving mechas to fight monsters is worth talking about.
only……
"I've said it eight hundred times."
Sun Hongcheng rolled his eyes at Giovanni Gabrielli helplessly.
These days when I'm bored.
He kept bragging about the story of how he and Qiya Webena drove a mecha and killed a bunch of monsters in the Earth-Moon system a month ago.
Until now.
This story has been told too many times.
He believed that Giovanni Gabrielli and Dieter Jung, the two people who did not go, already knew all the details of his encounter with Chia Wibena.
So next.
Everyone fell silent again.
Until soon after.
The sound of footsteps rang in everyone's ears.
Everyone stood up immediately and took out the pistols from their waists and pointed them in the direction of the footsteps.
I saw a human appear here at some point.
The glass cover, which isolates the harsh external environment and has defensive warning functions, did not give any warning about the sudden appearance of this human.
Obviously, this person is special.
but.
When the four people saw this man's face, they all showed expressions of surprise at the same time.
"Professor Du Xing?!"
"What are you doing?!"
Sun Hongcheng widened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise.
Under the glass cover where oxygen was present, the sound was transmitted accurately.
Sun Hongcheng recognized this man.
Du Xing is one of the key scientific researchers in the four-nation joint Mars landing plan.
He holds a Ph.D. in mathematics and astrophysics from Princeton University. He is a Fields Medal winner and has published twelve papers in top journals.
He has worked in space agencies such as ASI, Roscosmos, CNSA, and ESA, and participated in many aerospace research programs such as Venus Express, large satellite flight programs, and ExoMars.
What's more.
The ancient starry road on Mars that is suspected to be related to eternal daytime is somehow related to this person.
According to his explanation.
He had met a great man from Yongzhou when he was a child. Perhaps his brief ability to open the ancient starry road came from this.
Sun Hongcheng remembers.
Professor Du Xing took the initiative to resign and leave BNULM when the four countries represented humanity in establishing diplomatic relations with the New Qin Empire.
And now it suddenly appears here.
This obviously shows that it was not as simple as resigning.
"It shouldn't be hard to tell, right? I'm from Eternal Day now."
Du Xing smiled slightly.
He said this while looking at the four outstanding astronauts in front of him.
In today's situation where humanity has suffered heavy losses, it is naturally impossible for him to come to Mars by relying on the rockets of the human government.
Then he could be here.
There is only one possibility.
That is when he joined Everday.
After all, Yong Zhou was able to land on Mars quietly thousands of years ago, so it seems that sending him up now is not a problem at all.
And he joined the time of Eternal Day.
That was the day.
The Star Sage ignored BNULM's heavy security forces and appeared in front of him silently.
I asked this question: "You said that people who like the starry sky are the ones who really want to run towards the future. So, do you want to run towards the future?"
Du Xing has this question.
The answer is definite: yes.
If he didn't want to, he wouldn't have worked so hard to become a master in the field of astronomy and astronautics just for such a small desire as to see the stars.
so.
Not long after, he joined Yong Zhou and became an outer member.
"Then you come here..."
"What do you want to do to us?"
Sun Hongcheng asked seriously.
He understood that there must be a reason why Du Xing joined Yong Zhou and came here for no reason.
And on this desolate Mars.
The only four of them are probably the most valuable.
"I responded to the call a few days ago and became an early batch of the third recruitment of Dawn Academy."
"Then I suddenly remembered you guys."
"Isn't it a bit of a waste for the four of you to stay on Mars?"
Du Xing smiled slightly.
Although the words clearly mentioned recruitment, the meaning of recruitment was also expressed very clearly.
He submitted an application to his superiors after thinking of these four talents three days ago.
Then.
He was sent to the Moon Palace Battle Fortress through the secret realm gate, and took the New Qin spaceship stationed at the Moon Palace Battle Fortress port, which took three days to reach Mars.
His mission.
That is to persuade and take the three of them on a spaceship to the Moon Palace Battle Fortress.
Then, under the arrangement of the lunar scientific research department, he took an orbital skydive directly to the academy city Tromsø to participate in the third recruitment of Dawn Academy.
And after Du Xing said this.
Sun Hongcheng and the other three couldn't help but look at each other.
They are definitely elites, have a great liking for Yong Zhou, and are extremely bored these days.
only……
They are all soldiers after all.
They are all soldiers who were ordered to come to Mars.
Even if the Earth cannot control them for the time being, it is not a reason for them to rebel.
So just ponder for a few seconds.
Sun Hongcheng, as the leader, said: "Sorry, we..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
Du Xing handed over a document.
Obviously he had anticipated what Sun Hongcheng was going to say.
Sun Hongcheng was stunned.
Then he swallowed his words and took the document to read it.
It was a treaty secretly signed by the top leaders of the four countries, ordering the four of them to change their affiliation and join the Everday Dawn Academy, dedicating their lives to the noble future of mankind.
Obviously.
The problem that the four people were most concerned about had already been solved.
Yong Zhou only wanted four people, and the four countries released them very readily.
This time.
That left Sun Hongcheng and the other three silent.
They don't feel that they have been sold out by their respective countries.
After all, the family members were well accommodated.
Moreover, joining Eternal Day does not mean betraying the nation and the motherland. They are still recognized as their own people by the top leaders of the four countries.
The most important thing.
In fact, they all wanted to join Eternal Day.
only……
They were just about to refuse.
Now I am thinking about how to tactfully withdraw my previous rejection.
Rejected too quickly.
Now I don’t know how to agree.
But if you think about it carefully.
It seemed that the words of refusal that I had just spoken were interrupted before I could finish speaking .
Sun Hongcheng, Qiya Weibena, Dieter Rong, and Giovanni Gabrielli looked at each other again.
Then they nodded in unison, barely perceptible.
Then Sun Hongcheng spoke again: "Actually, I also think it's a bit of a waste for the four of us to stay on Mars."
The four of them laughed happily.
I had no idea what I would face soon.
It is an exciting parachute jump without a parachute, as well as many thrilling and interesting tests.
Join Everday.
There is still a long way to go.
