In this way, the Sky City flew very smoothly.
In this prairie, the next generation of children received a brand new education model.
It seems to work pretty well.
If you teach others, you will never be able to teach them; if you teach them by things, you will learn it once.
Time has passed again, 19 months.
The fertility of this grassland is far inferior to that of underground fissures. Fortunately, it has not been explored by other civilizations, so it is not considered barren.
Thanks to the efforts of the treasure-digging team, the ideal minerals of human civilization can barely balance the balance of payments, but it is even more difficult to significantly replenish the national treasury.
And maybe due to luck, the wealth dug up has been slowly decreasing in the past six months.
"I really want to find a big mine! I have really faded away in the past few months."
Lieutenant Colonel Lu Ying rolled off the "Flying Dragon" and yawned boredly.
He took out a camera and uploaded the captured map to his computer.
By splicing these maps together, a small part of the real landforms of Pangea can be restored. This work actually lasted for a long time. It was drawn by hand by Lu Yuan more than a hundred years ago, and now it is drawn by computers. Technology is advancing.
, but the work is the same.
"In 19 months, we have advanced 80,000 kilometers... This grassland is too big, I don't know how many times larger than the equatorial radius of the earth?"
Lu Ying muttered to himself, tinkering on the computer for a long time, but found that there were always some contents that could not be spliced ​​together, and he didn't know where the mistakes were.
He made a phone call: "Brother Yun, we have a big problem. Please help us deal with it."
"I'm very busy too, Uncle Ying, can you please stop looking for me?"
Hai Zhiyun was helpless. Ever since the power of the humanoid computer was exposed, people asked him for help every three days. People are really afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.
"Brother Yun, I will definitely take you with me on my next treasure hunt. I will pick up some garbage ore and give it to you."
Brother Yun has a hobby, which is collecting garbage. He immediately smiled and said: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk! If you send the document over, it shouldn't be a military secret."
"No, no, no, it's just an ordinary map."
But this time the processing time exceeded expectations. In the past, the work that could be completed in one minute took about ten minutes.
Hai Zhiyun called back again: "Uncle Ying, is this map of yours from today?"
His tone was somewhat serious.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"We may be back to where we were half a year ago...I found that the map is more than 95% similar to half a year ago."
"Especially the geographical locations of several large lakes, they are almost exactly the same." Haizhiyun marked several similar lakes with red boxes and sent the photos over.
Everything is changing, including lakes and grasslands.
Although the lake was shallower than half a year ago, everyone in the investigation room immediately discovered that it was indeed the same one.
At this moment, everyone was shocked and took a breath of cold air - it turned out that such a long time was just a big circle!
"What's going on?"
Lu Ying did not dare to neglect and immediately reported it to the superior.
This matter quickly attracted the attention of the upper-level parliament.
"Now we can confirm that we have encountered a ghost wall-breaking incident."
"It's serious, but it's serious. All the compasses are out of order, and even the sun's rising in the east and setting in the west are out of order... We wasted half a year in vain, and we just went in a circle."
"If we don't find a reason, we may be stuck here for a long time."
Lu Yuan sat in the center of the conference room, looking at these maps with surprise and confusion in his heart.
In addition to the compass and the sun, the poppy tree can communicate with the sycamore trees in Yunhai City through its dream ability, so it can also know the general direction.
But even this kind of guidance failed!
It took Green City half a year to complete a 10,000-kilometer circle.
This scene is really strange.
"But it's not a life-and-death crisis. We carry a lot of supplies, plus there are dense aquatic plants and numerous wild animals, which means... we should have enough time to solve this problem."
"If we can get out of this strange place within a limited time, I won't be in a hurry to inform the public."
“Try going in a different direction.”
Therefore, under the leadership of Lu Yuan, many soldiers stepped up their investigation efforts. They rode flying dragons and spent two months investigating an area covering thousands of kilometers.
But the thing is so strange, except for the prairie, there is almost nothing here... Various wild animals live here, survive and reproduce, it is quite vibrant, and it looks harmonious.
The three king insects sailed at supersonic speeds and tried in all directions, but no matter which direction they flew, they could only make a large circle of more than 20,000 kilometers and eventually return to the same place.
Although Lu Yuan has the ability to teleport in space, he doesn't know where to teleport.
The whole world was vastly covered with prairie, but it seemed to be shrouded by an invisible border. What was more important was that he had no idea where the border was.
It is impossible for three-dimensional creatures to touch the boundary of four-dimensional space, just like two-dimensional creatures never know the concept of "height".
"Things seem to be a bit serious..."
On this day, after busy work to no avail, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of a very mysterious natural disaster - a [strange] vision!
If I accidentally entered the [weird] territory, wouldn't it be like this?
Of course, [Monster]'s combat effectiveness is not high, and he is good at mental attacks and raising his little brothers.
It doesn’t look like it from this perspective. Human beings have been here for more than half a year and there hasn’t been a single missing person. This is not consistent with [weird]’s behavioral tendencies.
"Don't relax your vigilance. [Monster] is different from other natural disasters. It is as timid as a mouse. Once it finds that the enemy is too powerful, it will not take action rashly." Lu Yuan asked many soldiers, "You continue to investigate the surrounding areas and explore more
clue."
"I'll stay here."
He doesn't dare to leave the city rashly now. He controls the "Devil of Greed" at all times, sitting at the top of the poppy tree, staring at the entire city.
Once [the monster] activates his space ability and kidnaps the people, he will immediately activate his space teleportation and follow them in.
As long as the Greedy Demon God breaks into the [monster's] alien space, defeating this natural disaster shouldn't be a big problem...
…
So, in the fourth month of waiting, a turning point finally appeared!
After a "flying snake" that went out for reconnaissance returned to the city, the soldiers quickly removed the camera from its head, processed it with a computer, and fed it exquisite food.
There is no way, the current investigation has yielded nothing, humans can only expand the scope of investigation, from a radius of thousands of kilometers to a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers. In the case of insufficient manpower, the method of investigation through flying snakes has become the first choice.
One operation of Fei Shen directly detected a distance of 20,000 kilometers for 12 consecutive days, which is quite cost-effective.
Today's AI technology is gradually catching up with the previous level of the earth. Abnormal conditions in videos can be discovered by AI in less than a few minutes.
Because there has been no information for a long time, the morale of the investigation team is actually not very good, and everyone is just doing routine work.
"Beep!" Suddenly, a big screen sounded an alarm, and the fast-playing picture stopped.
"This is..." The staff of the identification team suddenly rubbed their eyes and stared at the big screen in disbelief.
A... city!
A lonely city floating in the sky?!
This city is not too big, with a length of about 8 kilometers and a width of 2 kilometers. Its overall shape is like a beautiful large palace!
The main building is octagonal, with a hemispherical dome in the center and sixteen small domes around it. The domes are generally engraved with vague patterns like the sun god.
A bright blood-red flower filled every corner of the palace, making it look like a city filled with flowers.
Ancient palaces, decaying pillars and beams.
The fading light is filled with darkness.
Gray color, cold light.
The bright red flowers speak of horror.
Everything you look at is absurd.
The staff member stared at it for a few seconds and jumped up from his position in fright. Even though the information seemed nothing special, at most it was that this palace was particularly luxurious and the flowers were particularly red, he had an extreme feeling inexplicably.
Fear, as if facing a real natural enemy of life.
After "Flying Snake" explored the palace, it turned a corner and escaped back, and the footage it investigated was very limited.
So investigators can only analyze the video over and over again, trying to analyze more clues.
"Look here!"
A sharp-eyed worker pointed at a picture.
I saw suspicious life forms standing on one of the platforms.
Its body is slender, with hands and feet, a pink tongue with forks, and its cold eyes seem to have no focus, looking into the distance.
These snake-like creatures hold rusty weapons in their hands and wear tattered armor. People can't even tell whether they are mummies or serious creatures.
"Is this a statue?"
"No, absolutely not."
"Why were they so motionless...for several minutes, they didn't even blink an eyelid."
The leading investigator shuddered and reported to the superiors: "Report! We discovered a small floating city 76 kilometers northeast, which may be left by prehistoric civilization. The specific technological level is unknown."
"The footage captured by the flying snake is deeply disturbing."
After Lu Yuan received this notice, he did not dare to neglect it.
He first looked at the photo for a few times. The mysterious palace decorated with a large number of flowers seemed to be suffering from syphilis. It really gave people a very uncomfortable and weird feeling.
As for those weird snake people...he couldn't tell whether they were dead or alive.
Chapter completed!
