Chapter 724: Well of the Stars
There is no doubt that the huge deep well in the center of the model is the escape tower.
The area that the Salvation Church has not yet explored is fully presented on this map. Although it is just a simple outline, it is already a rare intelligence for them.
"Wait..." Xia Fan widened his eyes slightly. Isn't this escape tower too deep? If those interlaced tracks are regarded as dense tree canopies, then it is like a long tree trunk, holding the entire tree canopy on top of the head! Considering the ratio of the two, isn't this escape tower at least one or two thousand kilometers?
What is this concept?
The entire diameter of the moon is only more than 3,000 kilometers!
Although the moon is small, the temperature of the core can reach more than 1,000 degrees. Coupled with extremely high pressure, 30% of the core material can still be in a molten state. The difficulty of building a permanent project here is no less than building an elevator into space.
And he also noticed that there were straight cross-section marks around the bottom of the tower-this usually means omission or segmentation in architectural drawings.
It is hard to imagine that such a large project was built just for escape.
The more Xia Fan looked, the more shocked he felt.
First of all, there is more than one road leading to the patio area. Judging from the illustration alone, there were more than ten tracks running in the east, west, south and north directions, and the distribution was very three-dimensional. In addition to the special train they were riding, there were at least three track layers below, and the deepest road could reach the middle area of the escape tower directly.
Secondly, the living area of the escape tower has as many as a hundred floors. If it is just a platform for launching spacecraft, why are there so many residential rooms? After all, the faster the better when escaping. People finally passed the review and arrived at the escape tower, but they could not board the ship and take off immediately. Instead, they had to live in the tower for several weeks, watching other spacecraft leave one after another. This was a complete torture. It would be strange if they could live there peacefully!
But according to the outline map, it not only has a living area, but also a shopping and entertainment area. It is like a fully functional city!
Does escaping need to go to this extent?
Xia Fan shook his head and temporarily suppressed the doubts in his mind.
The top priority now is to bring everyone back to the patio, and other issues can be studied later. And since there are so many routes shown on the outline map, it would be a shame to not explore them.
But when it comes to specific operations, Xia Fan is a little hesitant.
The whole system does not have any prompts. The human-computer interaction is really rough.
He tried to raise his hand and clicked the patio area.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he realized it, several options popped up in front of his finger!
So that's it, this is the will control system... Because it can read thoughts directly, it does not need any guidance. As long as the controller shows what he wants to do, it will automatically respond.
Among these options, there is a command to restart the train.
Seeing this, Xia Fan's heart is at ease.
He made a gesture of speaking, and a virtual shadow of a walkie-talkie appeared directly in his hand-"Everyone, please return to your own carriage and make sure that the protective clothing is fully worn. The special train will be on the road again."
"This voice... is Xia Fan!?" Li and others looked up in surprise.
From their perspective, Xia Fan was just lifted up by the seat. It seemed that there was no change, but her voice replaced the previous woman and came directly from all over the carriage. This really caught everyone off guard.
"Xia Fan, are you talking?" Fox Demon couldn't help asking.
Xia Fan, who became the driver, also saw everyone's figures from the stereo monitor. "Yes, I have taken control of the special train. You go back to the carriage first and wait until everything is over."
From entering the cave to now, everyone has witnessed endless unexpected situations, and no matter how many surprises there are, there is only numbness. This time they just looked at each other, accepted this statement, and left the front of the train with a confused look.
Soon, the special train closed all the closed doors and set off again.
Half an hour later, it stopped steadily at the upper station of the platform.
...
"So, the forerunners have not all left?" The Pope looked at the Ai Di card in his hand and said solemnly. The exquisiteness of this card is really beyond imagination. It looks like a piece of paper, but the surface is smoother and more transparent than glass. The portrait printed on it is almost the same as the real person, and every stroke of the font is clearly identifiable, which is absolutely impossible for outside merchants to imitate.
Having been here for so long, he is already very clear about one of the characteristics of the ruins, that is, any seemingly ordinary thing will reveal its extraordinaryness upon closer inspection.
"Yes." Li Mengyun nodded and replied, "And Xia Fan also found another underground passage, but it has been damaged and can no longer be used."
After Jinxia and his party arrived at the courtyard area, they were not warmly welcomed by the Salvation Church - for them who have lived here for a long time, the Princess of Qiguo is no different from an outsider, and both may bring additional troubles of evil spirit infection. As for those high-level alchemists who once belonged to the Privy Council, they were basically viewed with a surveillance eye. Li Mengyun knew that before the situation was clear, this concept would be difficult to change for a while, so he did not immediately let Xia Fan participate in the exploration of the courtyard, but met with the Pope and other venerables alone, intending to start with the ideas of the upper level.
As long as the Pope has a detailed understanding of Jinxia and decides to cooperate with Her Royal Highness the Princess, other believers will gradually accept Jinxia's intervention.
“…” Wu was silent for a long time before putting down the card, “My prophecy… may not be correct, right?”
“That’s not what I meant.” Li Mengyun said quickly, “It’s just… the prophecy cannot fully and comprehensively express the situation at that time. Since the number of people in heaven is limited, it is inevitable that some people failed to catch up with the time to leave.”
“Since I awakened, no matter how I prayed, I never heard the whispers from heaven again.” The Pope’s voice gradually became lower, “Sometimes I also think, if the scene I saw does not represent the truth, then what should be used to compensate for the price everyone paid… cough cough…”
A violent cough interrupted his voice.
He covered his mouth, and a slightly fishy smell of rust came from his tongue.
"Sir, this discovery does not prove that the prophecy is wrong!" Venerable Qi Tian said loudly, "Isn't it because of your guidance that we finally determined the location of the Kingdom of Heaven?"
"There has never been a listener who awakened multiple times in various historical records. Venerable Sheng Tian only mentioned this hypothesis, which does not mean that the man surnamed Xia must be correct." Venerable Ping Tian's voice was as cold as ever, "I even think that contacting Jinxia itself is a mistake. Don't forget how strange and unpredictable Prince Yong's methods are. The independence and remoteness of this place itself is the best barrier."
Li Mengyun frowned slightly, and when she was about to say a few words, the Pope shook his head and signaled everyone to be quiet for the time being.
"Regardless of whether contacting Jinxia is good or bad, I am sure that the Salvation Church still lacks some key elements in order to find the Kingdom of Heaven. It is for this reason that I agreed to Venerable Sheng Tian's request." He closed his palms, so that everyone present could not see the dark red in his palms. "Since Honorable Li has returned, why not first listen to what she saw and heard along the way, and then we can discuss it."
At this point, Wu had changed to a relaxed tone, "Meng Yun... What do you think of Jinxia City?"
Today is Qingning's birthday O(∩_∩)O
