Chapter 780

Because of the protective cover above the atmosphere and the airflow channels inside the planet, the temperature of the stargate planet is relatively stable, and there is no obvious distinction between spring, summer, autumn and winter.

No matter weeds, reeds or trees, they all grow according to their own will.

This is a new civilization born from the dust of ancient civilizations, and it has not had time to form its own order.

There are not many kinds of animals and plants in this world, which seems a bit monotonous, which is probably the reason.

The yellowing of the ginkgo trees at Stargate University has nothing to do with the cold weather, but just because of more rain.

The use of water resources on this planet has reached the extreme level. There is not much exposed water surface, the evaporation is not enough, and there is very little rain. It wasn't until July and August that the only remaining ocean on the ground sent some water vapor to the three great rift valleys with changes in ocean currents, and then continuous rain formed, and then continued until the end of October.

This is how the October Water Sacrifice came about, and gradually evolved into a ritual of worshiping gods.

This year's October Water Ritual is very special because the priestess will choose her successor.

In the Galaxy Human Alliance, the priestess is a kind of detached existence.

She is the spokesperson of the gods and the inheritor of ancient civilization.

Until now, not many people know what kind of knowledge the priestess has passed on from the ancient civilization, but no one dares to show any disrespect to this ancient tradition. Even the Starship Alliance Management Committee and the military have maintained absolute respect for this for a long time.

The birth of a new priestess is naturally the most important thing on Planet Stargate this year.

The primary elections for the living quarters on each floor had already started. The one Jing Jiu and Zhong Lizi saw, the winners were Jiang and Xia.

As the rain fell, this event finally came to the second floor closest to the ground. The Shou Er Metropolis will initially select a candidate, and similarly, the other seven major cities will also select their own candidates, and then enter the final election together with the candidates from each district.

The main aspects of the priestess selection test are knowledge, morality, martial arts practice and willpower.

Knowledge is mainly biased towards history and humanities, and the remaining three assessments are carried out around the word "quiet".

Anthropologists and historians of the Galaxy Alliance have published countless papers on why it is related to the word "quiet", but there is no definite answer.

- Priestesses will not explain any questions related to them.

...

...

The gray building of Stargate University was surrounded by people.

Today is the registration day for the primary selection of priestesses, but most of them are here to watch the excitement, and only a few people really have the courage to apply.

Those are extremely famous gifted girls on campus.

The crowd suddenly became quiet, and countless eyes looked towards the road beside the lawn.

The ginkgo leaves on the road have been cleaned by the automatic cleaning machine, and the surface of the road made of black stones is extremely clean and shiny.

A black-haired girl and a silver-haired girl walked over, both of the same beauty, but with different temperaments.

People were a little puzzled, thinking that Jiang Yuxia had already obtained the third-tier candidacy when she was in the seminary. She was knowledgeable, calm, and her martial arts cultivation had reached the golden level. She was the most popular candidate for the priestess selection this year. What is she doing here at this time? Want to see who is your opponent?

Before arriving at the building, Jiang Yuxia stopped, looked at Zhong Lizi and asked, "Are you sure you want to participate in the priestess selection?"

Zhong Lizi hummed.

Jing Jiu doesn't talk much, but has a great influence on the people around him. Whether it's Zhao Layue, Zhuo Rusui from Chaotian Continent, or she here, they all unknowingly have some of his appearance.

Jiang Yuxia held her hand and said, "Then you have to work hard, I won't let you."

Zhong Lizi nodded and said, "Me too."

Jiang and Xia let go of their hands and said, "I wish you all the best."

Zhong Lizi turned around and walked towards the building.

It wasn't until this time that people knew that she was going to participate in the selection of priestesses, and they couldn't help being extremely surprised. They looked at her back with strange eyes.

This gray building is the main second floor of Stargate University, where many departmental offices are located, such as the most important student office.

The selection and registration of priestesses is at the student office.

The director of the Student Affairs Office is a teacher official with pale hair and a gentle temperament. He looked at the information read by the terminal from Zhong Lizi's bracelet, looked up after a moment of silence, looked at her and said seriously: "This is not the first time the children below have tried, but no one has succeeded. Even... some people's confidence has been severely frustrated and they have sunk."

Zhong Lizi said: "I am mentally prepared and courageous."

The director looked at her and persuaded her earnestly: "In some moments, courage is meaningless, because it requires miracles, and there are no miracles in this world."

"Teacher Cui, there are miracles in this world."

Zhong Lizi looked at him and said seriously: "I'm very sure of this."

...

...

A few days later, the sky on the other side of the Great Rift Valley was dyed red, there was no rain, and there was no sunrise—it was still on the other side of the mountain.

More than a hundred students gathered at the gate of Stargate University, preparing to visit the school on the surface.

Most of these people are exchange students from various institutions, but for some reason, the dozen or so girls who signed up for the selection of priestesses are also in the team.

Those girls have beautiful faces, each with their own attractive features, and their breath is as calm as water, standing together is really pleasing to the eye.

Several male students couldn't help but kept peeking over there, but they didn't dare to be too blatant.

Jiang Yuxia did not stand with those girls, not because she was already a candidate, but because she was waiting for Zhong Lizi.

What she didn't expect was that the boy in the blue sportswear also came over with Zhong Lizi, and asked curiously, "Are you really a student of Stargate University?"

Jing Jiu ignored her, as long as he wanted, not to mention his student status at Stargate University, even his status as a member of the Alliance Management Committee would be fine.

Zhong Lizi explained: "He just doesn't like to talk, don't get me wrong."

Thinking about what happened to the lawn that day, Jiang Yuxia laughed at himself, stopped talking to Jingjiu, and talked to Zhong Lizi in a low voice about the things that need to be paid attention to in the primary election of the priestess.

At this time, the chief official of the student office surnamed Cui and two teachers came over.

His administrative level is quite high, and he actually led the tour in person, which should be related to the girls who participated in the selection of priestesses.

I don't know if it was because there were too many people or for some other reason, the group of people did not take the aircraft, but took the suspension train to Chunyuan.

Walking out of the station from the underground, looking at the cliffs that appeared in front of them like a huge wall, and looking at the high-speed elevators passing between those cliffs, some exchange students from the lower world couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, and two young girls who participated in the selection of priestesses frowned slightly, it seemed that they were not very satisfied with the school's arrangements.

Looking at the cliff and those elevators, Jing Jiu naturally thought of the overalls assassin. He walked into the elevator unobtrusively behind Zhong Lizi, thinking that there had been no news from Yinwang for a long time, what was that "Hare" with an unusual family background doing?

The speed of the high-speed elevator is really fast, and even through the extremely thick glass, you can hear the whistling wind outside.

It didn't take long for the elevator to reach the top of the cliff, which is the real surface.

The visiting students walked out of the aisle without having time to speak. They saw the scenery in front of them and couldn't help being stunned on the spot.

In front is a sea-like grassland with a few lonely trees growing on it, and a round of red morning sun hangs quietly on the horizon in the distance.

They have seen this scene on TV, but they have not seen it with their own eyes.

It turns out that the horizon is really a line.

It turned out that Chaoyang really jumped out from under that line.

It turns out the sun can be so low.

It wasn't until this time that many visiting students understood why the school wanted them to take the suspension train instead of the aircraft.

Because it takes such a period of upward movement in the dark to remember such a sun that leaps into our eyes.

...

...

The means of transportation for the visiting students on the ground is still the suspension train, but the suspension train here is obviously more advanced than the one in Shouer City. It does not have any tracks and connections, and should use an expensive anti-gravity system.

Boarding the suspension train, the students looked excitedly at the grassland and the herd of running animals outside the window, discussing non-stop.

After all, they were young people, and the lack of change in the scenery could not attract their attention for a long time. Soon they looked away and began to whisper about today's tour itinerary.

From time to time, some people's eyes would fall to a certain corner at the back of the carriage, especially those girls who participated in the selection of priestesses, they were very concerned about that side.

Jing Jiu, Zhong Lizi, Jiang and Xia sat at the back of the carriage.

Blue, silver and black are so eye-catching, yet so harmonious.

Those concerns came from curiosity and vigilance towards Jiang and Xia, confusion about Zhong Lizi, and some related to Jing Jiu.

Who doesn't know that there is a perverted boy in blue sportswear in Stargate University?

The suspension train passed through the vast grassland, passed through a forest and more than ten lakes connected like pearls, and finally reached the end of the journey.

Some buildings appeared on the horizon in front of them. The outer walls of those buildings were made of huge stones, which looked quite ancient, and some places looked a little dilapidated, and the alloy structure could be seen faintly. It was presumably the wounds left by the monsters from the Sea of ​​Dark Things that invaded decades ago, but I don’t know why they haven’t been repaired yet. In the sky farther away, there is an extremely thin black line, from the ground all the way to the height of the sky, there is no end in sight, only something shining at the end of the line can be vaguely seen.

"That is the No. 7 space elevator, which is connected to the Tianxuan space transfer station, where more than three cargo ships unload every day."

A teacher explained to the students: "This space elevator is dedicated to our school's school-run factory, which currently supplies about 14 percent of the food on the planet."

After being reborn from ancient civilizations, human beings expanded into the universe at an unimaginable speed. Now the Galaxy Alliance has many resource planets, and countless cargo ships sail in the universe, transporting the resources on those planets to the main star and various colonial planets. The problem of food supply has long been solved, but the taste of synthetic food is difficult to solve...

When the students got off the suspension train, teachers and students from the school were already waiting to take them on a tour.

Galaxy University's main school on the ground now only has a few departments left, and the number of students is small, which seems a bit deserted, and the historical meaning emanating from those buildings becomes more real. After visiting those antique buildings and listening to a simple lecture in the school history exhibition hall, the students were taken to another place.

That building looks very ordinary, very square, from the structural point of view, it looks a bit like a factory building, some people wonder if they still want to visit the synthetic meat factory?

"This is Laboratory No. 3 of the Mecha Department."

A student from the school said with a blank expression: "Everyone, don't touch anything casually after entering, and don't disturb the work inside, do you understand?"

The visiting students couldn't help feeling a little nervous when they heard this sentence.

Jing Jiu looked at the building, felt that disliked aura, and knew that there must be many gravitational field devices inside.

After rigorous inspection and scanning, the students were brought into the factory-like laboratory.

The laboratory is very empty and large, there are many exposed cables on the walls, and there are many devices that the students do not know.

A railing surrounds the surroundings, and the ground inside is made of alloy, which seems to be larger than the grassland of Stargate University.

The students thought that the railing was a passageway for visitors, but who knew that as the student from the school pressed the button, the alloy floor in the railing was slowly opened.

Accompanied by humming currents and heavy muffled sounds, the underground world appeared in front of the students.

There is a giant mecha underground.

This giant mecha is dozens of stories high, and it is about the size of the hotel where Zhong Lizi lives. Even if the students stand on a high place and look down, they will feel that this mecha is extremely tall, and they will naturally feel small.

There are dozens of small mechs and aircraft surrounding the giant mecha, and there are many people who look like engineers, doing something with terminals and equipment.

"This is the Thunder God who killed three monsters from the Sea of ​​Dark Things in the Battle of the Court Gate last year."

The student from the school introduced: "It was seriously damaged in that battle. After two years of maintenance, it was completely repaired, and now it is undergoing final debugging. In addition to engineers from the military department, there are also a large number of students from our school who participated in the maintenance. If you have the opportunity to enter the military department in the future, you may also join in."

The students have all read the news two years ago and know how brutal the Battle of Tingmen was, and they have been famous for this famous giant mech for a long time. Hearing this, they are very excited.

Jing Jiu quietly looked at the giant mecha, the ring on his hand shimmered.

Suddenly, there were countless exclamations in the laboratory, because the giant mecha actually moved!

Several light green rays of light shot out from the helmet of the giant mech, and thousands of components made heavy but unstoppable rotation sounds. The extremely huge left mechanical arm was slowly raised, aiming at the sky, as if it had come to life.
