The suspended magic vehicle made by Aerym Elves carried a group of people to the center of this floating island called the "Sun Island". The suspended vehicle flew lightly in mid-air and was hundreds of meters above the ground. This kind of car should be a very advanced thing in the Aerym world, but in addition to its higher technical level than the earth, it is even worse than the private car on the earth in terms of interior and appearance. Almost all parts inside and outside the vehicle are of the same off-white The artificial materials are cast, the colors and materials are extremely monotonous, and there are no decorative patterns, no soft seats, or any special materials wrapped in armrests or window frames.
It's like a cheap industrial product made by plastic injection molding. Although it has high-tech appearance and performance, as long as you experience it once, anyone can see at a glance that it is only manufactured in accordance with the "enough enough" standard. from.
Aerym Elves is generally taller and thinner than humans, but the overall difference is not too big (at least closer to normal people than Y’zaks), so the internal facilities of this car are also suitable for Hao Ren. Y’zaks was a little cramped to sit in, but he could bear it. There are a series of narrow windows on both sides of the car, which extend down to the seat. Through these windows, you can see the scene of the city flying below.
At first glance, those buildings are also beautiful. They have long arc lines and simple and elegant structures. Most houses seem to imitate the image of tree trunks and buds. The architectural style of Aerym Elves is Various tall towers and elliptical buildings with sleek lines dominate, which makes their cities look like the capital of a thousand towers-of course, just the name is so reminiscent. But these elegant-looking buildings hide the true situation of exhaustion of resources: the building materials of all houses are that kind of off-white man-made material, from the outer wall to the roof, and then spread to the spaces and roads between the houses, everywhere It is this kind of hue and lifeless composition. The original and natural construction materials should have been exhausted many years ago, or it can not be easily mined as the basic structure of the floating island. Therefore, the Aerym Elves uses industrial recycling Recycle these things in the rubble to build your own home. But a completely gray city is too oppressive, so some plants were planted between these elven buildings as much as possible. However, the number of these plants is not large. It seems that in order to maintain efficient urban functions, most of the plants are planted in special places such as ecological domes. Other than that, no decorations can be seen in the city.
There is no monument. There are no street sculptures, no parks or any other facilities that have nothing to do with survival, and waste construction materials in vain. The city is like a low-quality scene that chooses the lowest material and ignores all terrain details to reduce the pressure on the graphics card, no matter where it looks. There are only monotonous repeating houses and straight and simple roads. The elves in hurry are living in this monotonous city. It's like a set of faded slides.
Y’zaks looked at the city scene below and thought about it: "They still maintain an orderly life. It seems that no matter how bad the situation is, they are trying to ensure social order, and ... at least on the surface ' Normal '. "
Hilda's attention is not in the following cities. She has noticed the anxiety that can't be concealed on her son's face: "How bad is the situation? Can't it be maintained anymore?"
"If you survive, you can still maintain it," Vimm is a young man with a quiet voice, he inherited from his mother-or every elf is so-a near-perfect appearance, handsome and beautiful at the same time Manly temperament. "The astrologers and magician scholars at the scene suffered heavy casualties, but at that time the test site was as far away as possible from the main island chain, so the material losses were still acceptable, and the supply of the main residential areas and the ecological dome were no problem. We It can still maintain the standard of living in the past, and it can also be maintained for a long time. "
"The problem is in confidence ... right," Hilda knows the current status of Aerym very quickly, so he quickly wonders why, "You finally restored the social order, but I can feel a lifeless atmosphere." "
“Yes, this incident has a great impact on people ’s confidence. Even some members of the parliament,” Vimm nodded. “The Space - Time accelerator is the last large-scale project we can start. The only way to find the depths of the starry sky-the Big Bang destroyed the final confidence of many people. We still have survival supplies, but only survival. "
When Vimm said these words, he finally could n’t help but look at the group of “outlanders” sitting behind the car. The situations he reported were the social status before Hilda returned, but a group of people came from outside the stars … No, incredible guests from outside the universe completely upset his world view and upset his grasp of the current situation. His first thought was that the embarrassment of Aerym Elves for thousands of years finally ushered in the dawn. Now a group of highly civilized visitors who know how to travel between the stars appear in front of themselves, which may break the deadlock, but at the same time he is worried about a more realistic problem:
Is it too late? Will they help? Is their help useful?
Hilda also turned her eyes to Hao Ren, but she did n’t ask anything, but just turned her head and looked at Vimm: "First, the news of the visitors from other worlds was announced, and then we said that we have mastered the key to voyage. Space - Time accelerator failed It ’s a great success from the point of view of technological progress. In short, it ’s just announced. The first task is to reinvigorate people and restore people ’s confidence. ”
Hao Ren nodded slightly, without expressing its position clearly. He is still thinking about the best disposal plan, so he did not take the initiative to promise anything, but at least Hilda said that these can be done. Vimm seemed to gain a little confidence from this slight nod, and the expression on his face stretched.
"Island of Rainbow Light ... How much is left?" Hilda asked about other things.
Island of Rainbow Light is the floating island where Space - Time accelerator test was conducted. It is the last space test field of Aerym Elves with complete facilities and large-capacity energy system. For a long time, because these elves have only one planet, and there are no other places to stay within tens of millions of light years, they have been unable to carry out many super-large-scale experiments until the planet is broken down and turned into a later As countless space islands, they began to test some dangerous projects that could not be directly placed on the parent star. For thousands of years, struggling on a daunting technical fork has cost them one test site after another, and most of the accidents are enough to pollute the entire planet-it is relatively optimistic to lose only one floating island in space. But even so, the number of floating islands in space is still limited, and thousands of years of continuous consumption eventually came to an end.
The island of rainbow is their last hope.
"Island of Rainbow Light is gone," Vimm whispered after a few seconds of silence, "Mother Mother, you should have seen the end of the island chain while in space? There is a new gravel ... That ’s the island of rainbow. After the big bang, the debris flew around, part of it was thrown towards the sun, and part of it was rushed into space, and we only had time to rescue its one-fifth of the material. Those gravel were temporarily placed on the remains of the island chain In the heap, some resources may be mined from it. The test site is gone, but its wreckage will probably allow you to live a good life for a few years. "
"I saw the rubble, but I didn't expect ..." Hilda frowned, "What about the island of stars?"
The island of stars is another space floating island, an important industrial town and energy furnace. It receives energy from the corona station and stores it. During the accelerator test, the island of rainbow light was pushed to the island The far end of the chain is to prevent threats to the residential area, but the island of stars must be powered next to it, it is so close to the test site, Hilda is very worried about the fate of the island.
She did n’t dare to carefully observe the situation of the entire island chain in space, so she did n’t know whether she saw the island of stars at that time.
"Island of Stars is still there, but suffered some injuries. Some debris broke through the anti-aircraft fire network, crashed part of the gravity generator and propulsion device of the island of stars, and a piece of debris was almost inserted in the energy hub. On—but fortunately it ’s a little bit off. The situation there has been brought under control, and the Technical Presbyterian Church is trying to restore its functionality. The magician mechanics have removed some equipment from the death place, and they seem to be working ... at least Much better than the one that broke completely. "
"Well, the situation is better than expected," Hilda breathed a sigh of relief. "After going back, let Cardillon come to see me. He, me, and our outworld friends, there are many things to discuss."
"Elder Cadilon ..." Vimm suddenly evaded Hilda's gaze, "Elder Cadilon went to the 'Praying World'."
"What ?!" Hilda's voice rose suddenly, "Who allows?"
"He volunteered and wished the world that something went wrong. The Happy Land organization 200 years ago seemed to be active again ... part of the parliament ..."
"So the current social order is just superficial effort ?!" Hilda's complexion was very ugly and severe at once, "I will hold a presbyterian meeting immediately after I go back, I want to reorganize the order!" (to be continued.)
