The Sabbath Chapter 292: The Lost Star
Although he wants to treat guests, Ronggui's manuscript fee is really very little.
Only 100 quarpicks.
For 100 quarpics, if you want to treat guests to dinner in Coral City, you can probably only invite fast food restaurants like "Kiyaya", which are probably McDonald's, and each person only has one hamburger, and you can't even buy a drink.
At that time, Ronggui not only said that he wanted to treat guests, but later added that he wanted to treat the three of them to a big meal.
Ronggui: =-=
This must be influenced by Professor Alufa's habit of "big meals" at every turn. Ronggui usually eats home-cooked meals at home, which are healthy and delicious, and save money.
"Well, Ancient Civilization is a non-profit magazine after all, it is placed in schools and newsstands, and everyone can use it for free." Scratching his head, Professor Alufa explained a few words in a low voice.
"Since it's to celebrate getting the first draft fee to treat guests, you can't use money earned from other channels!" No need to guess, Ronggui probably wants to use the money earned from singing to treat guests, Professor Alufa shook his finger , blocked his way.
Ronggui: =-=,,
Looking at the momentarily depressed apprentice, Professor Alufa was in a good mood, raised his eyebrows, and said, "But a big meal doesn't have to be rich and delicious—"
Ronggui looked up at him.
"It's like the big meal at the Balayabudo Restaurant I invited you to eat last month. The food there is small, right? It's still unpalatable." The eyebrows seemed to recall the food that time, Professor Alufa twitched the corners of his mouth, and then continued: "But the dinner plates they use are all antiques, and the dining environment is all antiques. The dining environment completely restores the situation when the antiques were used. No one can say that it is not a big meal."
Speaking of this, the corners of Ronggui's mouth twitched a little.
That was when he and Xiaomei were studying the Balayabudo civilization in the Department of Ancient Civilization last month. This is an even smaller ancient civilization, and there are very few research materials. I have studied it, and the rest have not been studied
It's at the Balayabudo Hotel.
The owner of the restaurant is an antique collector. Because he likes the unique patterns of Balayabudo civilization, he collected a lot of tableware, tea sets and decorations with similar patterns. Of course, he didn't know that at that time. It was something left by some civilization, and I didn’t sell it after I found out. Many ancient civilization lovers have asked him to buy it, and he doesn’t accept customers easily. In this case, is there any way to see antiques from that period? ?
No, that person opened a restaurant and decorated it with all his collections about the Balayabudo civilization. Not to mention, he also used real goods as tableware to restore the situation of the past and sell expensive meals!
In order to study these precious antiques, Professor Alufa took the students to "eat a big meal".
It's luxurious and unpalatable, and it's not full. Professor Alufa is right.
"So, if the dining environment is luxurious enough, it can also be called a big meal." Professor Alufa gave Ronggui a hint.
However——
Ronggui didn't understand at all.
Nod, and after nodding, Ronggui continued to lower his head, as if to think carefully about where the environment is good and the food is bad and cheap.
Professor Arufa: =-=
Hints are useless, the old man decided to make it clear to this stupid apprentice: "We can go to Keyaya to buy four three-layer cakes, and then go to your planet to eat. Now where is there a more luxurious meal than the New World? place"
Ronggui: "Hey? Can ordinary people enter the New Earth now?"
It’s no wonder that he asked this question. In the past year of his hard work, the New Earth has been in a state of strict lockdown, extraterrestrial flight is strictly restricted, and the people who can land on the new planet are strictly restricted. A very important job for Xiaomei every day is to process these applications.
During this period of time, the New World is closed to ordinary people. The so-called ordinary people are all kinds of people who have nothing to do with exploring the New World. Naturally, it also includes the New World Code promulgated by Ronggui's own Xiaomei. There is a clear stipulation that Ronggui will never violate it.
Hearing Ronggui's question, Alufa immediately knew that Ronggui must have read the law code before, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled and said: "You are the master of the new earth, not an ordinary person, However"
"Forget it, actually I wanted you to go there in person today, not only you, but Xiaomei is also going. It just so happens that you want to treat guests, so why not go to the New World to treat guests! There is something for you to see."
So far, Professor Alufa smiled, but refused to say a word.
Thus, feeling a little apprehensive and a little excited, Ronggui bought four three-layer cakes and left with Professor Alufa.
A group of four went to the new earth in Professor Alufa's private spaceship.
Flying for a total of three days, they went through a total of two safety inspections of the mobile mechanical fortress. Just when Ronggui was worried that the three-layer cake he bought would be broken, they finally came near the last mechanical fortress .
This is a huge mechanical fortress. The so-called "fortress" is actually a kind of mechanical base. A large amount of materials and materials can be moved, but the speed is much slower than that of ordinary spaceships. One of the greatest significances of its existence is to carry materials and personnel stationed in designated coordinates in the light, or to carry out defensive work, or carry out construction work.
This mobile fortress clearly does both.
Scholars who apply through Xiaomei naturally cannot live in the precious new world. They live here. After obtaining precious research materials from the new world, they can conduct research in the fort immediately. In addition, there are a large number of defense personnel, technical personnel, and construction personnel here.
"I also have a room here." Professor Arufa introduced to Ronggui.
However, this time he came here obviously not to do research work. After the last inspection, Ronggui's three-layer cake was turned over and checked for the third time, and they were finally let go.
When they came for inspection, they came in according to the designated orbit. They flew directly from the light into the interior of the fort along the orbit. The interior continued to fly at a slow speed until they reached the end, the hatch opened, and when the familiar scorching white light appeared before them, they finally entered the eternal light belt again.
Ronggui closed his eyes reflexively, and when he opened them again, he was stunned——
My God!
Across the huge space fortress, what is it that appears in front of his eyes at this moment?
A beautiful blue planet!
Most of the area is blue, then green, besides brown and white, this is really a beautiful planet, and it is so similar to the earth he only saw from photos in his memory
Ronggui was stunned.
Walking over, he lay down in front of the window and quietly admired the blue planet in front of him, until he noticed that the outside of the blue sphere seemed to be surrounded by a transparent cover.
Having sailed in the Eternal Light Belt, Ronggui knew that it was something outside every space city, and the folks called it a "protective shield". One of Professor Alufa's most outstanding contributions was to protect the Outstanding contributions in the field of hoods.
Due to physical reasons, I didn't look carefully when I left last time, but Ronggui vaguely remembered that there should be no such protective cover at that time, and it should have been erected in the past year.
No wonder there are so many Battlestars here.
"This is the protective cover of the earth. The erection of the complete protective cover was finally completed a minute ago. I want to invite you and Xiaomei to come here. The main reason is to let you see how the protective cover is fully opened."
"?" Regarding the protective shield, Ronggui didn't know anything about it, but Xiaomei next to him was quiet, her sky blue eyes were calm and unwavering, he should have known about it long ago.
Ronggui was not surprised at all.
After all, Xiaomei is the actual manager of the New Earth. After handing over the management rights to Xiaomei, Ronggui completely let go and never managed anything.
Their spaceship moved forward a little more, and then it was suspended in the light, and stayed in front of the blue planet without moving.
"Just wait." Professor Arufa said this, and then he stopped talking.
He didn't speak, Mr. Sadan was standing beside him, Xiaomei looked straight at the blue planet opposite, her eyes slid across the profiles of the three of them one by one, Ronggui finally looked forward and stopped moving .
Then, as if the electricity was turned on suddenly, the blue planet in front of Ronggui suddenly changed!
Half of it was still exposed to the eternal light belt, while the other half suddenly darkened and sank into the shadow.
This is
"Dark night?!" Rong Gui exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right." Professor Alufa nodded, affirming his judgment: "It's the night."
"My main work this year is this new type of shield, the dual-energy shield. Unlike the previous shields, this protection system can achieve the largest filtering of light."
"Simply put, it can simulate the night effect."
=mouth=! ! !
Ronggui's mouth opened slightly.
He may not know how difficult this technology is, but he does know: In Sky City, all planets have only daytime, and the Tower of Eternal Day has no night. Today's earth is actually the first planet with night. planet!
"Do you still remember your description of the sky when you woke up?" Professor Alufa suddenly said something completely irrelevant.
Turning his head to the side, Ronggui looked at him.
"You said, when you looked up, you saw that half of the sky was bright and half was dark, and there were faint stars hanging in the sky."
"You said, you saw the dawn."
Professor Alufa spoke quietly, with a flat tone, and stated the sentences that Ronggui excitedly said at that time.
Ronggui didn't think about anything at the time, he just described his feelings faithfully, but now he heard Master Alufa repeating his words, he suddenly felt that something was wrong
Wait!
Dawn?
By the way, the Sky City is Eternal Day, when has there ever been a dawn?
Could it be that I was sleepy and confused at the time, and misread it?
Ronggui tilted his head.
"Not long after the discovery of the new world, scholars and experts settled in one by one, and began to explore the earth one after another. Some scholars believe that there is a trace on this planet that indicates that it may have come from an environment with day and night. .”
"Others think it's not very scientific, but I immediately thought of what you said to me at that time."
"Then he and I continued to explore further in this direction, and finally we were surprised to find——"
"He is right, this planet really had day and night before!"
"The moment I proved this point, I suddenly thought of Agui saying that the sky was half-light and half-dark when he was awake."
"My God! Agui, do you know what you went through at that time?"
"You can't do it, no! You are definitely experiencing the moment when a planet slips into the eternal light belt from another place!"
"Like a lost child, and like a guide, he broke into our world from outside."
