Chapter 750 Deadly Sunshine
The lid of the sleeping cabin slid open silently, and Hao Renhu sat up from inside: "How is the situation now?"
The data terminal had previously moved the sleep capsule from the basement of his home to the bridge of the Giant Turtle Yantai. Now when Hao Ren opened his eyes, he saw the familiar sight of the spacecraft control room. He saw a large holographic projection suspended above the console in front of him, with a planet slowly falling into the sun in the center of the screen. Lily next to her stretched out her hand and pulled him up from the sleeping cabin: "You can see for yourself, anyway, I have never seen such a spectacular sight in my life..."
Hao Ren came to the console and asked, "Where are we now, while adjusting the angle of the external monitor?"
"Above the planet Zomu, 50,000 kilometers away from the ground, from the cross-section between the sun and the planet, you can clearly see the planet being ignited by sunlight," the data terminal immediately replied, "Judging from the current orbit of the planet , it should have been gradually captured by the star two thousand years ago, and then experienced a slow descent into orbit for a full twenty centuries. Now everything on the surface of the planet has been burned away, and the temperature on the sunward side has reached thousands of degrees. It is also melting and cracking on a large scale...The gravity of the sun is tearing it apart, and it is estimated that it will have to be torn into pieces first before being burned to ashes."
Hao Ren didn't say anything, just frowned and looked at the scene outside the spacecraft.
A young star with a mass about three times that of the sun is lighting up this space. Due to its close distance, its brilliant fiery corona occupies almost one-third of the field of view of the external monitor. At this distance, the brilliance of the sun can directly blind the eyes of most creatures, so the Giant Turtle Yantai opened a solar filter to weaken the power of the sun. And in this boundless sea of fire, a small dark brown planet is dragging a long tail flame towards the solar corona.
The planet has long been unrecognizable. The sun burned its surface and partially melted the rocky shell. The mountains, rivers, and deep valleys and trenches that once existed on the planet are no longer distinguishable. They are all stacked together due to the softening and collapse of the earth's crust. .
This is what Zhuomu is really like - although the reincarnations Nolan has experienced can be called disasters, they are nothing compared to what happens in the real world.
This is the truth: the "Droam" Nolan lives in is indeed a virtual world, and its reincarnations are nothing more than scripts that occur within a large program. The real Drom is right in front of everyone. There are no traces of human civilization on it, and the entire planet is slowly falling into the sun. Connecting these two points, Hao Ren believes that the virtual world Nolan lives in should be something similar to a shelter. Its body is probably a giant server, which is buried deep in the planet. Human beings have become humans in the server. Ghosts, hiding from the blazing sun of the real world in the virtual world.
As for the continuous "world reset" and the direction of the end, there should be a problem with the server. Perhaps the worsening of the surface disaster caused this failure, which caused the virtual world to continuously restart, and the "script" became increasingly worse.
There is still a lot to explain about the whole process, but this is what is known so far. As for whether that "server" really existed, Hao Ren believed that he could investigate clearly by going underground on the planet.
"The planet is still rotating, and it rotates once every twelve hours. During this process, the sunward side will quickly melt under the sunlight and eject a large amount of material, while the backside will quickly cool and solidify. When the first ray of sunlight rises the next day , those newly solidified shells will produce continuous explosions that spread across the entire continent. This process continues, intensifying the disintegration process of the planet." The terminal releases a holographic projection, simulating the evolution of the planet's continuous destruction process, "Surface No human remains can be seen at all, but there should be something like a shelter hidden deep underground: a virtual world shelter, maybe some kind of server or something like that.”
"Is there a suitable place to land?" Hao Ren frowned and looked at the thrilling scene in front of him. This scene was indeed much more exciting than most battlefields he had experienced.
"Honestly, it's not suitable anywhere. The surface of the planet is completely melted, and there are super high temperatures everywhere. The spacecraft itself is not afraid of this temperature, but it is not suitable for people to go out to work - your shield will be consumed very quickly, and others will The life-sustaining collar can only operate for a few hours at most."
Nangong Wuyue's tail was so frightened that she looked at the sea of fire stiffly: "Landlord... you are not going to take people up there, are you?!"
As an aquatic creature, seeing this scene of flames scorching the earth and drying up the world had a huge impact on her. At that time, the siren girl felt like she was starting to become dehydrated.
"We can't just leave it alone, there are more than a billion people down here," Hao Ren knocked on the console, "Terminal, land on the back side, choose the day-night line, and try to get as many hours of working time as possible. "
The Giant Turtle Platform caught up with Zhuomu's figure in the blazing sunshine, and slowly landed on the part of the planet's surface that had just fallen into darkness. At this location, the sun had just set below the horizon a few minutes ago, and the hellish day had ended. However, the night that followed was not cool either: the earth still maintained a high temperature of thousands of degrees, and the lava in many places had not had time to cool down. Covered with criss-crossing lava rivers and rocky steam vents that are still erupting, the environment is even harsher than the world inhabited by demons.
But this is already a rare "safe area". At least the sun cannot shine here, and without the illumination of that deadly star, everyone's shields can last longer.
The data terminal reported the surrounding situation after controlling the landing of the spacecraft: "The radar showed that there was a crack three hundred meters ahead. It is very unusual for there to be a crack in such a crust. It may be the entrance to the shelter. The crack The scale is less than 100 meters, and the spacecraft cannot enter, so you can only explore it yourself."
Hao Ren checked the status of his shield, and then gave an extra set of life-support collars to everyone who wanted to disembark with him. Since the environment this time was really harsh, he only chose the few people in the team who could withstand the harsh environment the most: Lily, Vivian, and the father and daughter Yzaks.
Wuyue and Elsa are sea monsters who are most afraid of dehydration. Nangong Sanba and Nangong Wudi are both half-baked demon hunters. In this case, they are not strong enough, so they can only stand by on the spaceship.
"Put on both life-support collars. When the energy of the first collar is low, switch to the second collar immediately. Don't worry about the energy," Hao Ren told everyone, especially Lily, who was always unreliable. Your physique can resist for a while after the energy of the collar is exhausted. Don’t be brave then, just teleport back directly, do you understand?”
Lily happily tied the collar around her neck while puffing out her chest confidently: "I know, isn't that just a coward? I'm good at it."
Yzaks looked outside with a smile: "This place is quite suitable for us husband and wife - it reminds me of my hometown for some reason. The place where I took a bath at that time was similar to here. Elizabeth and I should go there later You can explore a little further.”
Hao Ren quickly reminded him: "Just take it easy. When the sun rises, it's not the same thing as now. Even demons can't withstand high-energy particles."
"Go" squatted next to the chair and watched everyone busy, and suddenly tugged on Hao Ren's clothes: "Big cat, are you going on an adventure?"
Hao Ren had never noticed that this guy was here before (mainly because this stupid cat was so used to finding a corner to catch a cat), and then he was stunned: "Hey, why is she here too?"
The data terminal yelled: "Didn't you say that you should bring out all the fighting power in the house to suppress the situation? This machine still has Doudou in the pot behind you, but she fell asleep again."
Hao Ren then remembered that he had indeed given such an order before, but now he felt a headache: At that time, he had no idea that the real situation in Zhuom was so thrilling. He thought that calling a few gold medal thugs and an armed spaceship would be enough. It's enough to cope with the situation. At most, there will be one more shot to clear up the grudges, but looking at the current situation... just "get out". In addition to being a cat, can it also be used to control the fur?
"Go away" reluctantly grabbed the owner's clothes and began to purr, obviously wanting to follow him out. Seeing this, Hao Ren pressed the cat girl's head: "You know about dried fish, right?"
The cat girl immediately purred and nodded vigorously.
"Have you seen the scene outside?" Hao Ren pointed to the scorching earth displayed on the holographic projection, "If you want to go out, if you are not careful, it will become drier than dried fish in an instant."
Silly Cat thought for a while, then very reservedly snuggled under the chair and went to sleep.
Hao Ren led the team out of the spacecraft. The moment he came outside, he seemed to feel a wave of heat rushing towards him.
However, this was just his illusion. It was the impression given to him by the scene of the planet falling into the sun and the overflowing magma on the surrounding ground. The shield did a good job of isolating the heat from the outside, including the temperature of the ground coming from under his feet. At least until the energy of the shield was exhausted, he did not need to use his body to resist this thousand-degree hell on earth.
Although he felt that his strengthened body should be able to withstand it for a while, he had no intention of actually trying this sour and refreshing feeling of drying human flesh.
Elizabeth jumped up and down when she came to the ground, and shouted in surprise: "Wow! The ground is still soft!"
"After all, the sun has just passed, and the ground has not had time to completely harden." Lily analyzed it professionally, and then her attention was unconsciously attracted by a golden stream of light on the horizon.
That's the direction in which sunlight disappears: Although the planet's atmosphere has dried out, each sweep of sunlight causes large amounts of rock vapor and other gases to erupt into the sky. These gases synchronize with the day and night cycle, forming a A huge wall of gas is constantly sweeping across the surface of the planet. This wall of gas acts like a lens and magnifies the already huge corona, thus forming the golden streamer in the distance that covers the entire horizon.
Although it is essentially a storm with a high temperature of two to three thousand degrees, it is still beautiful when viewed from a distance.
Lily stared at the stream of light formed by the corona for a while, and suddenly sighed softly. Hao Ren knew that this girl who was very artistic at heart must have felt something again.
"The dog is blind."
Lily sighed.
