Chapter 1054: Steal Half a Day's Leisure

The void is vast, so in such a vast void, any wonderful things are possible.

Before this, I thought I had been to many incredible universes: the Great Nebula, the Locked Universe, the Ruined World, the Fragments of Avalon, and even the void vortex composed of the Exiled Fleet. They can all be regarded as one world. Each of them has incredible characteristics, and the magic is amazing. After experiencing these wonderful universes, I don’t think I should be too surprised by the weirdness of a certain world, but now it seems, My own imagination is still limited - there is always magic in the void.

The world we live in now is probably not a "single-layered universe". At least on the land beneath our feet, there are multiple spaces stacked together. They may be parallel spaces, or they may be deep spaces similar to shadow technology. Or it may be a stable dimensional rift that has stacked the spaces that were originally located at the two coordinates together. Now we do not have enough equipment and data to determine how the strange state here was formed, but what is certain is that this The seemingly inconspicuous border area holds fascinating secrets.

At this time, Sandora has released hundreds of small detectors. These swarm-like silver-white probes are very fast, and their capabilities far exceed those of any artificial satellite. They can basically be used wherever data needs to be collected and it is inconvenient for you. Places to visit in person: including the center of the Earth and the surface of a black hole. Soon, we obtained a piece of video material taken from outer space, showing the planet beneath our feet...

"This is not a planet!" I exclaimed after seeing the images from the probe.

Shandora glanced at me: "That's right, not one. It's half a...well, a small half."

Suspended in the air in front of everyone was a holographic image with a radius of several meters, which showed the earth from the perspective of the probe. It was a very obvious planet fragment, with an arc-shaped remnant of the earth's crust at one end. At the other end is a fragmented inverted cone-shaped rock structure, like a corner cut off from a watermelon using rough and forcible techniques. There is no doubt that this should be the fragment formed after a certain planet was torn apart, judging from its curvature. This fragment may account for about one-fifth of the original planet's size, maybe a little smaller.

This is the true state of the savannah beneath our feet: a fragment torn from the planet.

This scene left everyone stunned. We never imagined that we were standing on the wreckage of a broken planet: and on this wreckage there was such a vibrant prairie, and such a sky-high and light atmosphere!

"Are we standing on a fragment of a planet?" Bubbles smacked his lips, "Where is this place? Draenor? Washugu Plain?"

Qian Qian patted the holographic imager on the ground: "Hey, is there something wrong with the equipment?"

"There is no problem with the picture, and equipment failure will not cause such a bizarre situation. We are indeed on a fragment of a planet. This fragment is the so-called 'ancient garden'," Sandora frowned tightly, "I am scanning this piece. The gravitational structure of the debris... it is too abnormal. This space follows physical rules that are very similar to those of the Earth. Within the constraints of these physical rules, the scene in front of us should not appear. We are now standing on the flat surface of the debris near the edge. . The gravity here should not be vertically downward, but no one feels anything unusual. And look at its atmosphere, which is uniform and dense. No matter what happened to this planet in the first place, it must have been a disaster. It was enough to destroy the entire planet. Ecosystem and atmospheric structure, how do we preserve the grassland under our feet and the surrounding atmospheric environment?"

"Instead of thinking about these unclear technical issues, we should discuss something more direct." Bingtis suddenly interjected, "Now we tacitly agree that some unknown basic rules allow this kind of planet fragments to exist stably—— So where did the rest of it go? See if there are any similar planetary fragments around."

After being reminded by Sister Bing, Shandora immediately controlled the zoom in, and a larger picture of space appeared in front of our eyes.

But the so-called second fragment did not appear. The fragmented planet we are on is floating alone in the empty and lonely dark space, with only one bright star accompanying it. A probe left the orbit and jumped outward. It only traveled twenty-four astronomical units before encountering a space fault. After detecting several times in other directions, we finally determined that the size of this small universe is only twenty-five astronomical units in radius. In this small closed space, a star and a strangely existing planet fragment are the only celestial bodies here.

I stepped on the ground involuntarily, feeling a little unreal. This was not a planet under my feet, but an incomplete star wreckage. However, it retained all the physical parameters of a normal planet, including gravitational balance and atmospheric environment. What kind of power was it? After tearing this fragment from the planet, everything here was preserved? According to the basic mathematical laws here, such a wonder would not naturally be born. Only advanced civilizations with superb skills may have this technology, so the world may not be born like this.

"There is a river here that runs through the entire planet fragment, and the flow direction is like this," Lin Xue pointed to a bright blue strip on the holographic projection, "We are at the edge, and the 'exit' of the river is not far from here. Don’t you want to go over and take a look?”

Everyone had no objections, so I recruited a good BMW with 700 billion, packed the whole family in, and rushed to the grassland border.

A few minutes later we stood at the end of the land, watching a wide river drop from the edge of the land into the endless darkness below. This is the crustal boundary of the planet's fragments. The landscape in front of you can more clearly and intuitively recognize that this is a cone-shaped remains that has been removed from the entire planet. Below your feet is a vertical and smooth abyss. The crust is like layers cut by a knife. The cake clearly exposes the layers of rocks inside it before our eyes, and the river that runs through the entire prairie forms a super waterfall with an incalculable drop here, hanging like a ribbon floating in space. the end of the earth.

"You know, I think of the God Realm, where this kind of scene is quite common. You know, all the continents of the God Realm are floating in the sky."

Bingtis crossed his arms, nodded and commented.

"But the physical rules of the God Realm are different from here. The direction of gravity in your place depends on the mood of Father God, but here it depends on a fixed mathematical formula." Sandora squatted next to the vent of the waterfall, He put his hand into the flowing water and followed the small jumping water splashes with great interest. "This mathematical formula tells me that this planet fragment should not appear. Don't say anything else. Look at this water flow, it goes vertically downward. Rather than flowing along the cliff, this indicates that there is a gravitational force pointing in the opposite direction of the earth's crust at this location, rather than pointing towards the center of the continent. I have sensed the direction of gravity across the entire prairie, and they are all pointing straight down."

"It's like when the planet was still whole," I echoed.

Viska and Pandora were squatting by the river studying the flowing water - well, Pandora was in a daze. Huesca was studying the river, and she was curious about everything. After a while, she suddenly jumped over and grabbed the corner of my clothes: "Brother, brother, where do you think this water comes from? Can't it flow all the way?"

Visca's question is a good one: What if the river fell directly into space. Then it should disappear in a short time, but looking at the scene here, this river has been flowing for a day or two. Does it have an infinite origin?

We got on the bus again and headed straight to the other side of the earth to find the source of the river. Qian Qian is already happy. She loved these weird puzzles that could not be solved for a while. Also happy with her were Viska and Little Bubbles. Viska was happy because she also had a strong curiosity. Little Bubble is happy because... because she has always been happy.

Saeko lay on the car window and looked outside, with a leisurely tone: "Although it is a very strange place, the scenery is really good - brother, please slow down, the scenery outside is hard to see clearly." Her mentality It's all for sightseeing.

Nodding in agreement, if you don't pursue the bizarre scenery of this place. Then this world is indeed a good place for vacation, especially for Qianqian: this girl likes exploring and solving puzzles the most. Although she has never been able to pass a puzzle game - game makers generally don't have as much imagination as she does.

Because we slowed down for a while, it took us more than an hour to reach the other end of the continent and find the source of the river that runs through the grassland. Sandora checked the front and said loudly: "This is the river, a small cliff. The river is definitely cut off, and the water gushes out of the air."

There is such a common sense that large rivers in plains or similar areas should generally be many small valleys and lakes. These water systems gradually merge together to form large-scale rivers. However, in front of us, there are sudden and torrential rivers. The river suddenly appeared from the foggy air and rushed into the distance. A few hundred meters away is the land border.

"The water may have come from another space. In this case, the river water that fell into space may have entered other spaces through other channels after dissipating." Sandora gestured in the air with interest, "This The spatial structure of the world is three-dimensional and interconnected. Each space exchanges matter and information in its own way. Perhaps this can explain the source of the gravity under our feet: it may even come from another complete planet and be projected onto this fragment of the planet. On the planet, the original gravitational pull of the planet fragments was canceled out."

While I was talking, there was a burst of children's laughter from the side. I looked back and found that Little Bubble and Viska had begun to roll on the clean grassland. Although I didn't want to say it, but with her The two of them rolled together and Qian Qian: These guys started playing. By the way, Qianqian, you don’t plan to continue exploring the truth about the world?

"The probe hasn't found a stable parallel space interface yet," Sandora let out a long breath and sat on the grassland, stretching. "The edge rules here are very strange and are constantly changing. I scanned at least a dozen The spatial signals with overlapping coordinates don’t know which one is the main space. Why don’t we take a rest here first, let the equipment analyze it slowly, and then join your sister and the others after cracking the spatial structure here.”

I was a little worried about my sister and the others before, but now I thought that nothing would happen anyway, so there was no need to worry, so I nodded and agreed: "Just treat it as a temporary outing here - by the way, do you want a picnic?"

Sandora's eyes lit up at that moment, and she instantly poured out snacks covering an area of ​​more than ten square meters on the grass next to her...

Bingtis is a guy who believes in not taking advantage of the bastard. At this time, she immediately pounced on her like a wolf. Sandora stood in front of the female gangster and made a gesture of protecting her food: "Eat your own food! This is my food!"

Bingtis shouted while trying to dig into the pile of food: "What's yours and mine? Didn't you listen to your husband, it's a picnic!"

The two queens with a long history started making a fuss on the grass. The core idea of ​​the fuss was to fight for food. I felt like I couldn’t stand it any longer - so I turned around and watched Sister Jill making garlands for Little Bubbles.

Well, I feel like this scene is even more unbearable: when did the idiot Jin Shining degenerate into such a girl-like creature?

"Hey, Mu Mu, why do you look so worried?" Lin Xue's voice sounded from behind, before he turned around. He received a light punch on the back of the head. It is said that this girl has changed a lot since the relationship was established. In the past, when she punched her, she would be more merciful without wearing a finger. Without looking back, I grabbed the eldest lady's fist and rubbed it on her face: "I'm used to it. Whenever I go out, I never worry about it. Now I've developed travel anxiety syndrome. And you see, this time we go out again. Directly encountered an accident.”

The eldest lady curled her lips and took her claws out of my hand. She came over and sat side by side with me. She seemed to have made up her mind and rested her head on my shoulder: For this unexpectedly innocent guy, this was the most intimate thing she could do in front of other people. .

"It's useless to think so much. Didn't I accidentally go astray with Sister Chen Qian and the others? I said it was fine, but you still don't believe in this prophet's intuition?" The eldest lady rubbed my shoulders and changed into a comfortable position. " And we are going out this time for an outing. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. I feel like you are running around saving the world all day long. Now you are showing signs of neurasthenia. So what, don’t get me wrong, it’s not because I care about you. Let’s talk. Mainly because seeing your serious expression makes me feel uncomfortable all over, and I feel like my worldview has been subverted.”

When you are being arrogant, you don’t need to add so many rhetorical words at the end. I will be serious occasionally, okay?

I connected to the spiritual connection with Lilina and told myself that it might take some time to figure out this complicated world here. Lilina didn't seem too worried about our delay, but when she heard that we were holding a picnic here, when. The little girl immediately started yelling, shouting that it was unfair: it seemed that she had been busy with her missionary work during the few days there. We were supposed to go out to play, but we made ourselves miserable. So when we heard that we were having such a good time, the little girl got hairy. I could only promise to make up for her next time. I asked about what she was doing there, and whether she had raised the banner of religion to harm others, but Lilina was quite mysterious and insisted on waiting until I got there before talking. After finishing the correspondence with the other party, I sighed a little: That guy who always caused trouble was really a headache sometimes. Originally, she didn't need to do many things, at least not to this extent, but Lilina would do it every time. She worked hard when I wasn't paying attention. I didn't pay too much attention when I established the Goddess Cult. If she hadn't explained her plan in front of me this time, maybe I would still have accidentally ignored her efforts.

With Shandora here, our picnic could be said to have ended with great fanfare. A total of twenty-six square meters of food were eaten and the grassland in a larger area was barren of grass. Several small ones ate their faces, and now they are following Gilmei and Seiko went to the river and lined up to wash their hands and faces. After eating, drinking and having fun, the five members of the God Clan lay in a mess on a small soil slope not far away to bask in the sun. The level of depravity was unbearable to witness. What's even more unbearable to witness is that after a while, Bingtis fell to the point of ordering the obedient Lin to give her a back massage. Lin was also really obedient and did whatever he was told. By the way, will I do it next time? Try it too, it feels like that Dragon God is easy to bully...

When I really had nothing to do and was thinking about taking a nap after eating and drinking, Qianqian came over happily, holding the garland she had just made in her hand: "Ajun, here it is."

Taking the wreath, I saw that it was woven with white wildflowers collected from nearby hills and pliable long grass that could be seen everywhere. The technique was surprisingly delicate. I looked at Qianqian and saw a peaceful smile on the girl's face. Suddenly something moved in my heart.

Probably, this is what is called...happiness. The way Qianqian looks forward to the most happiness is to be together lively with many family members, to be able to do the whimsical things that she likes with great interest, and then to have a lover by her side who can be used to act like a spoiled child or be loved by others. Compliments - I casually put the garland on Qian Qian's head and patted the girl's smiling face: "It's so beautiful."

It seems good to occasionally travel as a family and relax without thinking about anything.

Qian Qian became quiet in a rare moment, and lay down on the grass with her head on my lap. She smiled like a child. She was not the Queen of Time, nor the Mistress of the Empire, nor the God of Decline and Evolution in the future. Qianqian once again became the simplest Xu Qianqian, just like the two of them were leaning on the deck chair in the yard on a summer night when they were children, discussing whether there would be a building floating in the clouds behind the blurry cloud shadows in the sky. In the castle, the happy family of Sun Wukong and Astro Boy lived - I'm sorry that Qianqian really discussed it with me like this - yes, she is still discussing the shadow in the sky with me now.

"Ajun, do you think that's a mirage?"

Qian Qian asked, pointing to a piece of land in the sky that was becoming more and more obvious.

: "..."

Damn, this is such a big deal! !
