Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 157: World Tree Capital (5800)
From the very beginning, Ian has been looking forward to the appearance of the world tree capital, the capital of Canaan Moor.
Speaking of which, Ian is not afraid of being laughed at. Back then, because Ian had no concept of the crazy world of Terra, he mistakenly thought that the imperial capital was just an ordinary medieval city. When he really saw the imperial capital, he was naturally killed. The century's ultra-technological planetary shield giant city gave a billion-point roar.
Since then, he has been in awe of all the well-known big cities in Terra, and Ian is fascinated by a big city like the capital of the world tree, which is named after the imperial capital.
—How outrageous is that city going to be? I'm really looking forward to it.
With such anticipation, Ian spent two full days on the airship with some friends.
On the first day, the speaker of Yafota left his family's airship for something, and Ian exchanged news with Isengard about the 'Absolute Way' in the void.
In fact, Isengard has long known the existence of meditation and the core of source matter, but this brand-new practice method was difficult to teach through simple language at the beginning of its creation. Ian had to demonstrate it himself, so that others could Know exactly what to do.
To put it simply, no one brought it with them. With the rule book alone, few people can 'quickly, get started with some complicated board games. In fact, even if someone took it, it would be difficult for people with dull aptitude to learn it.
But Isengard is indeed a genius. He was originally an excellent alchemist who was regarded as a future alchemist. Naturally, he is not too bad at sublimating his blood, not to mention that the South China Sea Labyrinth and his party sharpened his will , the soul and thinking patterns are formed, and entering the second energy level is just a matter of course.
Essential Furnace Core may take some time, but the method of meditation, Isengard learned on the same day, is faster than Qingchao.
"It's actually the advantage of my bloodline."
In Ian's psychic channel, Isengard said quite modestly: "The blood of Erosion Light Refining Dragon has requirements for micromanagement, and the soul of meditation is engraved... Tell the truth and control yourself It is not too difficult for the blood vessels to form the source matter circuit."
"But..."
Even though it was in the psychic channel, Isengard lowered his voice and said, "Aren't you going to teach Anfa and Xiou this?"
"Xio's dragon soul structure is too special. I think we should learn Xiou's soul structure, not the other way around. Of course, I also taught it. After all, the calculation structure of the meditation method is also quite advanced, which makes Xiou There is always no harm in learning from Europe."
Ian said: "As for Anfa, her identity is quite special—although I knew that there might be a big family behind her, I didn't expect her to be the princess of the Jindeng family."
This is really unexpected. Ian originally thought that Anfa's identity might be a key child of a big family, but he didn't expect that the other party was one of the ten kings, the jewel in the palm of the head of the Jindeng family. ——Of course, it could also be a unicorn in the clan. It mainly depends on what gender Anfa wants to use.
Now, Ian has to be careful... It's not the same level of difficulty and danger as recruiting a son of a big family into a gang, and pulling the first heir of a big family into a gang.
Even if the other party has a good relationship with Xiou and has invested in Xiahui Ling, he still has to be cautious about the Arcane path.
"So you didn't teach?"
Isengarde noticed this keenly, and Ian nodded: "Even you are teaching today, let alone Anfa. Why do you care about this?"
"Nothing."
Although it can be seen that Isengarde is in a good mood, Ian has no idea why Isengarde is happy.
The closer to the middle of Canaan Moore, the more towns there are, and the climate is more humid and humid. There is no concept of 'hot' in the vast plain land between the Thirteen River Basin and the shower wetland, only the four seasons are like spring cool and humid.
Even on the airship, Ian, who occasionally goes out to explore the wind, can still feel the humidity in the air, which is the humidity that can almost wring out moisture from the air. If ordinary people live here, even You may feel tightness in your chest, and the surrounding sky is also full of rain clouds. Light gray clouds gather above the forest, stirring the weather called southern drizzle.
Ian thought that this climate would continue, and the world tree capital is such a city located in the humid and southern rainforest, which is very cool, and it fits Ian's imagination of the elves and the world tree capital.
But this is not the case.
After the airship crossed the Noorguera Pass, which is the man-made mountain area surrounding the world tree capital, the scenery changed suddenly.
The land and sky that were originally covered by endless greenery and dense clouds suddenly changed, and the humid rainforest disappeared, replaced by a forested plain with a suitable temperature and lush vegetation, but it was neither wet nor completely occupied by the rainforest— —The right temperature, the right ecological group, the right woods and grasslands have built a perfect ecological area in front of Ian.
What is perfection? That is, everything is available, everything is suitable, no more and no less, one ecological area is enough for life to multiply, and it will not hinder the survival of life in other ecological areas.
Streams, lakes, artificial mountains... snow in the mountains, hilly areas below the mountains, plains and part of the jungle, and rainforest on the edge...After the Norguera Pass, Everything is perfect beyond human imagination. This is a land where any life can find a suitable place for them to survive.
What is Gaia Fields? This is Gaia's field without a doubt. Even if all the races in the entire universe come here, more than 95% of the races will be able to find a place to live satisfactorily!
However, the most shocking thing is the existence in the center of this Gaia garden.
Ian saw the world tree capital.
He saw that huge, majestic giant tree that looked more like a mountain than a mountain.
What kind of giant tree is that...
In the center of the vast Gaia garden, a giant tree supporting the sky stands in the center of everything. It has a huge golden crown covering thousands of miles, and it is surrounded by turquoise-based light. It shines on the whole garden like the sun.
This giant tree is integrated with all things. Its crown trembles slightly, like breathing, and all the life in the entire garden trembles accordingly. The tens of thousands of meters high crown reaches the depths of the atmosphere , the planet's spiritual energy field visible to the naked eye surrounds it, absorbed and utilized by the golden canopy.
"Golden Tree..."
Ian whispered to himself, he opened his eyes wide and stared at the giant tree in front of him: "No, those are not leaves...that is..."
"Dyson Cloud?!"
The crown of the world tree is not like a plant in the general sense, but a leaf structure. Under Ian's observation, he noticed that the golden structure that looked like a canopy was essentially a mist of super-giant solar energy conversion crystals suspended in mid-air, and in the center of this mist was a A small sun confined by a supergiant magnetic confinement field.
An artificial star.
Yes, in the center of the crown of the World Tree is a very stable 'artificial sun', and surrounding this sun are a large number of Dyson crystal clouds suspended in mid-air by the spiritual energy field.
Dyson cloud is a variant of Dyson sphere, which is a theory proposed by an earth scientist named Freeman Dyson in the 1960s. Celestial body, a nuclear fusion reactor that utilizes the natural nuclear fusion core of stars.
Of course, the so-called theories can only be theories most of the time. Even with the technology of Ian's previous life on the earth, it is impossible to create such incredible physical monsters as the Dyson sphere, but the earth at that time has already disintegrated Mercury, Created an orbiting Dyson cloud, covered a part of the sun area, and used the incredible energy to help the earth humans to open up the universe.
The canopy of the World Tree is very similar to the Dyson cloud structure Ian saw in his previous life. It is a super-giant solar energy conversion battery area made of tiny crystal fog as a carrier, which can make good use of the energy of artificial stars. So much so that from a distance, people thought it was just a cluster of golden tree crowns.
As for the green light, of course it is not the color of life that is green, so the world tree will glow green - that is only because the air at the outermost part of the canopy is tight
The speed is just to the point that it is difficult for the red and orange dichromatic wavelengths to be refracted far away, so what is presented to everyone is a circle of golden-green light.
Ian rubbed his eyes, he looked seriously again, and then found something incredible.
'World Tree' is not a living thing at all - its canopy is an artificial star and a small Dyson cloud, and its trunk is a super-giant metal bracket, and in this bracket, there are layers of similar The ecosystem of the imperial capital structure... In other words, it is a city of sanctuary.
These cities are evenly distributed inside the world tree in a symmetrical structure, until the part of the 'tree root' ends. There are as many as ten floors... The cities inside the world tree are completely Using the energy of artificial stars at the top of the world tree crown, it is extremely prosperous, and it is amazing enough to see it from a distance. It is hard to imagine how magnificent its interior is.
As for the tree root structure...
"Can't see."
Ian whispered to himself, his eyes flashed with silver-blue light, but he still couldn't see the end: "The roots of this thing go straight into the depths of the earth's crust... at least it draws from the mantle. Energy - what is this?!"
At this moment, apart from being shocked, Ian also felt a little absurd.
As a 'planetary shield generator, the imperial capital is essentially a super plant-based biological structure at its core.
The capital of the world tree, which is most likely to be the center of Gaia's garden, is a purely mechanical structure from beginning to end...even, a bit like a permanent space colony.
This is not Ian's random guess, but an evaluation made by a visitor from the interstellar era.
The world tree capital... If the golden tree in front of you is the world tree capital, then the most suitable area for it to exist is definitely not the surface of the earth, but the outer space area.
Under the observation of the silver chip and the vision of foresight, Ian noticed that the energy area of the world tree capital, that is, the canopy, is maintained by relying on a certain strong man to control the planet's psionic field. Some kind of powerful power and exquisite sublimation skills can only be achieved at least at the peak of the fourth energy level.
Similarly, the underground tree root area, another energy area, obviously needs to be maintained by the strong. The two fifth-level powerhouses of Canaan Moore spend most of their time guarding the 'crown' and 'root' places, and the reason is obviously self-evident. They need to contend with the gravitational and psionic fields of Terra to maintain their existence.
However, such maintenance is very simple if it is in space-only a certain amount of computing power is required, and an artificial intelligence can easily maintain the stable operation of artificial stars and surrounding energy-absorbing devices, while the trunk city located in the center The region can also obtain a certain amount of artificial gravity through space rotation, and obtain cheap energy from artificial stars.
Even...
"It's a bit like a 'generation spaceship,'?"
A thought flashed in Ian's mind.
The so-called generation spaceship is a super-giant spaceship with a permanent ecosystem inside. It has a power source and a solid structure that can continue to sail for thousands of years. It can carry a civilization inside, and a whole race can reproduce for several Tens of hundreds of generations.
The generation spaceship is a civilization that cannot travel at the speed of light or faster than the speed of light. It is a necessary tool for interstellar migration. When it arrives at the destination, the passengers and drivers in the entire spaceship will be replaced for several generations, and a generation spaceship itself can Think of it as a small world.
Obviously, World Tree Capital... meets this condition.
An artificial star as an energy source can last at least hundreds of thousands of years, and as long as it passes through a suitable gas giant star, it can be replenished with fuel, and the residential area wrapped in the spiritual energy field is also very safe. Sometimes you can disperse and escape separately... The more Ian looked at it, the more he felt that this thing was probably a spaceship that hit Terra, but the angle of insertion was very straight, so it looked like a tree That's all!
"Ian?"
Isengard also came to the outside of the airship. He looked at the world tree capital in the distance following the boy's gaze, and immediately smiled clearly: "How about it, isn't it spectacular? It's simply not
It's inferior to the imperial capital... But when it comes to grandeur and fortification, the imperial capital is not inferior to any strong city. "
Isengard’s words carry a feeling of patriotism that is quite common in this world. Our country’s things are not inferior to other countries-he is indeed right. When it comes to outrageous, planetary shield launchers and The center of the Gaia Garden or the fallen alien spaceship is indeed a level of existence, but seeing one outrageous thing does not mean that you can adapt to another outrageous thing.
"I'm just emotional."
So Ian expressed his thoughts unpretentiously: "This ghostly place in Terra can always bring people surprises, even shocks - the capital of the world tree is actually such a super giant creation, don't come and see Once is really unimaginable.”
"Is that so?"
Anfa and Xiou also came over. The aborigine elf looked at his hometown with some doubts, and couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't this normal? The world tree capital should be like this."
"Maybe Ian, you were born in South Ridge. There are quite a few big cities like this in Terra, so there's no need to be too surprised."
Ian turned his head and saw that Isengard and Xiou also had the expressions of "Of course", this small town boy from Nanling countryside couldn't help sighing: "You people... ..Forget it. The locals have no concept of this.”
Under Ian's silent gaze, the Yinmen family's airship is gradually approaching the world tree capital.
This elf city on a tree has hundreds of entrances and exits, most of which are located in mid-air, so people use airships or other means of air transportation to enter.
It is evening now, and the sun is gradually setting.
In the light of the world tree capital itself, everything looks a little dim.
Before they approached, Ian and the others saw dozens of airships with lights on, swaying in mid-air like giant whales in the air, undulating around the world tree capital.
There are shining lights on these airships, and various advertising signs are painted on the hulls. Among them, several airships are obviously more advanced, and they can even project huge 3D projection advertisements, just like real ones. Projection creations are spinning on the outside of the trunk, while bright neon lights flow from the urban area inside the trunk.
Building in the flyover bracket outside the World Tree, the bustling crowd is shuttling back and forth, walking between different layers. They are bathed in the lights of these advertisements, and they have long been accustomed to it.
The empty boat of the Yinmen family is gradually approaching the top floor of the World Tree Capital'Trunk Area, where most of the government divisions of Canaan Moor are built.
Ian originally planned to go back to pack his luggage and get off the airship with Isengard and Anfa, but as the Yinmen airship gradually approached, those walking in the top area and the surrounding flyovers The South Moore elves cheered.
"Wow! It's the Yinmen family's airship!"
"It's so lucky that I can meet you at such a late hour!"
"Okay, now the expenses for the next half month will be enough!"
In a short while, many elves took out a small crystal plate from their bodies, and then scanned it at the silver gate airship.
【——Thank you for your support to the Yinmen family, Yafoda Yinmen sincerely serves you——】
[——1500 Ona, payment has arrived——]
"...what?"
Although there is no crystal plate, Ian has a silver chip. He directly captured the flowing electronic signal in the air, and then slightly opened his eyes: "This is..."
"This is just a propaganda strategy of the Ten Kings Blood Family."
The green-haired elf girl quietly came to Ian's side. She stood on the edge of the airship, staring indifferently at the elves who were cheering: "Just see and take pictures of the elves with the logo of the Ten Kings' Blood Family." Airship, and then like to express support in the personal crystal board, then every witness will receive a large amount of rewards.”
"I remember, it seems to be 1,500 ona a time? It's about 12 to 15 thalers, and the average worker's salary is a few months. So every time an empty boat with ten king's blood appears, it will be very exciting.
Send cheers and compliments. Very simple strategy for gaining popular support. "
“…sprinkle money.”
Ian was silent for a while. He could notice that those elves who photographed the Silver Gate Airship were joyful from the bottom of their hearts, and how much of this joy could be transferred to the Ten Kings Blood Family? Maybe not many, but there must be. After all, as long as it appears, it can bring wealth. As long as the blood family of the ten kings does not do outrageous things, in this world with sublimators, no elves will try challenge their domination.
Simple. rough. effective. For sublimators, as long as there is an effect, everything else is trivial.
"Oh! It's the eldest lady of the Jindeng family!"
Not far away, an elf who was closer saw Ian and Anfa beside Ian. Good luck?! To be able to meet such a dignified person!"
"Too lucky, is the spirit blessing us?"
"Huai Guang is above..."
Accompanied by praises, many elves began to take pictures of Anfa, and the elf girl who was exposed to the eyes of the public did not feel annoyed at all. Instead, she brought a business-like smile and raised her hand to everyone who was taking pictures of herself. Wave to the crowd of elves who like you.
"Wow—the lady is waving at me!"
"Ms. Anfa, we love you!"
The cheers of the elves even formed a wave in the air.
【——Thank you for your support to the Ember Lantern family, Anfaruian De Ember Deng is dedicated to serving you——】
[——1000 Ona, payment has arrived——]
Obviously—except for the airship and other facilities that represent the family, seeing the person directly will naturally reward money.
Wealth far beyond the needs of people's life is controlled by the blood of the ten kings. They have no need for these assets that ordinary people would pay attention to, so they simply allocated some of them and converted them into the people's admiration and respect for them and their family individuals. support.
Think about it... If there is a family member whose mere presence brings wealth to all witnesses, can he still escape the public eye? Can he still not be recognized by the public?
And if such a person becomes a ruler, when people see him the first time, do they think of joy and harvest, or a lofty and fearsome 'Master'?
——The point that needs to be feared by others is enough to be a sublimator.
——The blood of the ten kings does not need the awe of the elves, but only their support, yearning and respect.
"Welcome to Canaan Moor."
When the airship gradually entered the special airship entrance and disappeared amid the cheers of many elves, Anfa lowered his eyes and whispered to the silent Ian: "Welcome to the world tree capital."
"This is the most prosperous and enthusiastic city in all of Terra."
"None of them."
