Chapter 984 The Beginning of the Myth Is Like This
The giant Ark ship roared mechanically, and the ancient steel shell with a history of 10,000 years slowly unfolded under the push of a powerful mechanical arm. The city inside the ship, which was close to the inner wall of the spherical shell, was gradually revealed along with this magnificent deformation process. As the outer shell of the spacecraft slowly split into more than a dozen arc-shaped parts and extended to both sides, the ancient city inside the ship also decomposed. Under the control of the artificial gravity system, it smoothly adjusted its attitude in the air and fell to the sea. The huge structures at both ends of the Ark have now touched the water. They occupy both ends of the city, and eventually turned into two sea islands connected to the city. On one of the islands is the magnificent Ancestral Forge-Central Reactor, and on the other island is A series of imposing steel towers: Once known as the Giant's Nose, these towers served as the atmospheric control centers of the ship's cities.
During the entire process of the Ark's shell unfolding, everyone was sweating - the power generated by such a huge mechanical activity is amazing, and the residents of the city inside the ship have to cooperate with hundreds of security systems. Only then can safety be guaranteed. As long as there is the slightest glitch in the unfolding process, countless people will be put in life and death crisis. From here, Hao Ren could even see the moving crowds in the city inside the Ark: these Ark people, who had been isolated for thousands of years, were facing great changes in the world, and this was a change that was far beyond what their worldview could understand, even with With the guidance of Lawrence and the appearance of the "Twin Goddess of Ice and Fire", they could not calmly face the majestic scene of the earth cracking under their feet, the heaven and earth hanging upside down, and the universe being reorganized. In this earth-shaking change, people were panicked and in chaos. Some people knelt down and prayed devoutly. Some people went into the house shivering and waited for everything to end. Some people simply closed their eyes as if waiting for the end of the world. Still waiting for the judgment of fate to come. And above the chaotic city, what Hao Ren saw was a swirling dark cloud and countless violent and jumping lightnings.
He was stunned for a moment before he realized that the dark clouds and lightning were all created by Vivian - she might be using these "miracles" to divert the Ark people's attention. As long as the illusion is made that divine power is moving the heaven and earth, the common people can feel more at ease with the changes in the Ark. As a veteran vampire who has personally experienced the mythical era, Vivian knows this well.
Eva was also "looking" at the scene in front of her blankly. Although she was not sure how she relied on to perceive the outside world, Hao Ren still believed that she was "looking" according to his habit. As the Steel Dome gradually expanded into a city, Eva seemed restless, and when Hao Ren told her the current situation facing Ark society, she began to think.
In Eva's incomplete and fragmented memory, she still vaguely retains the concept of "ship" and "ark". She knows that the sirens have made similar things, and she also knows what it would be like for a race to face the end of the world. She watched the Steel Dome open and saw a dilapidated and almost ruined city inside, and seemed to understand what Hao Ren said. However, she didn't say anything. She just caused a wave of waves and then suddenly disappeared into the water.
Katrina looked at the place where Eva disappeared in surprise: "What happened to her?"
Hao Ren didn't understand what was going on: "I don't know... I just told her that the people on the Ark were short of food and clothing, and I wanted her to accept these people."
Katrina suddenly showed a nervous look on her face: "Is she angry?"
In the mind of the Siren Queen, Eva, as the spirit of the race, plays an important role, and she has to pay great attention to Eva's every action.
"It shouldn't be...she doesn't seem to be so narrow-minded." Hao Ren was also a little confused, but he didn't think Eva would lose his temper because of these alien visitors. "She seems to be far away. She can’t be sensed here.”
"Maybe I just left for a while and came back soon." Nangong Wuyue guessed. But since Eva is an elf in this sea area, no one can control her actions, and no one can guess the thoughts of an ocean soul, so it is impossible to find her back at this time. At the same time as Nangong Wuyue's words fell, a long, melodious sound that pierced the sky came from the Ark giant ship.
The original starship had completely changed its appearance at this moment. After the hull was unfolded, the main part of the starship city turned into a roughly rectangular island floating on the sea. The structure of the city also changed significantly during the unfolding of the spherical shell. After a large amount of displacement and disintegration, its ground is now decomposed and reorganized like a checkerboard. A large number of connecting bridges and metal plates originally hidden deep underground have risen from the cracks in the earth that have just appeared, re-dividing the urban structure and strengthening the city. The stability of this "floating island". Hao Ren looked from a distance and saw a lot of chaos in the city, and there were even fires and smoke rising in some areas. Over the past thousands of years, Ark residents had significantly transformed the city, although most of the buildings were It was repaired and built on the original foundation, but there are also areas that have been completely redesigned. If such a building happens to straddle the deformation mechanism, you can imagine what will happen during the unfolding of the Ark.
In addition, there are lines, pipelines, and mechanical facilities that were added later. During such a deformation process, these should have suffered huge damage.
But this is all within Lawrence's plan - and he has also taken measures to allow Ark residents to avoid the "joint area" affected by the deformation mechanism in advance. The original urban planning of Ark City took into account the situation where the shell would one day be opened. All main roads and urban distribution were divided according to deformation mechanisms. Even after thousands of years, these obvious divisions are still easy to identify, Lawrence It took a long time to popularize this knowledge to the residents, and before the transformation began, he also asked Vivian to use a "miraculous" method to disperse those people who were unwilling to move and take refuge (mostly refugees living in the wilderness ). Therefore, although the damage to the building was serious, the personal injuries should have been minimized.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lawrence to send a message: "The transformation of the Ark has been completed. Thank you for your assistance."
"How is the situation in the city?" Hao Ren put aside Eva's matters for the time being and asked Lawrence about the situation there.
"Everything went according to plan," Lawrence nodded. Judging from the screen on the communicator, he should be near the Ancestral Furnace at the moment. "All the buildings in the connection area have collapsed, but they are all simple shanties. There are still some machines that fell into the gaps of the deformation mechanism, but we have two hundred years to clean these things up. The biggest problem is the royal city of the Tower Kingdom. Part of the wall of this 'city' is right on the edge of the deformation mechanism, and a lot of things happened. It was a serious collapse, but because of the timely evacuation, no one was injured."
As he spoke, the old man suddenly laughed: "At least we know what to do next: repair the house first."
Hao Ren smiled, and then his expression became serious: "What about the chaos among the people?"
"The expected chaos," Lawrence shook his head, "but at least no one is shouting about the end of the world. The nobles and soldiers did not disappoint me this time. They are thinking of ways to restore order, and the twin goddesses of ice and fire are the key to reconstruction. An important part of order. I hope to form a new religion, a worship group for the goddess of ice and fire that spans the Four Kingdoms system, to replace the chaotic faith and spiritual groups in the current Ark society."
"That's right," Hao Ren immediately felt interesting when he heard this, "If Vivian doesn't say anything, Lily will definitely be the first to agree. She is eager to join in the fun..."
Before Hao Ren finished speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of a huge wave coming from a distance!
The sound of the huge waves was like rolling thunder, or like a tsunami. Hao Ren turned his head to look in shock. The scene on the horizon surprised him: he saw a mountain-like wave rushing towards this side. It seemed like a wave just now. It was just a bright line, but it rushed to the eyes in an instant. It was like a majestic wall that reached the sky and the earth, rushing towards the Ark Fleet with an astonishing momentum!
Lawrence also saw a huge wave coming from afar on a high ground in Ark City. He was suddenly shocked: "What is that?! A natural phenomenon on this planet?!"
Having grown up on the Ark, he didn't quite understand what was in front of him.
"It seems to be a wave... not a natural product!" Hao Ren instantly judged that the wave with an alarming speed was strange. He immediately calculated the possible impact of the wave on the ark, and at the same time a thought came to his mind, "Could it be? Eva?!”
The sudden huge waves surprised everyone. Hao Ren even subconsciously thought that this was Eva throwing a tantrum. He immediately jumped into the sea and tried to establish contact with the latter, but Eva's mental focus was obviously not here. He The attempts received no response. And in these chaotic minutes, the huge wave had already surged to the edge of the Ark Fleet!
However, then it suddenly weakened, quickly became smaller and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and completely unnaturally turned into a tiny wave in the blink of an eye. And behind the waves, the things carried by the huge waves were finally exposed to everyone, and everyone looked at each other in shock after seeing those things.
It was a stretch of green seaweed, with various strange marine plants mixed in the middle. Large pieces were tangled together, like a messy thread, washed up by the waves next to the Ark of the Throne.
The breaking waves around the seaweed quickly gathered and slowly formed a transparent female figure. This female figure continued to grow larger and taller, as if to be able to "speak to the city." She eventually even grew to several hundred meters tall. Then she pushed the seaweed and other messy things to the side of the city, making a loud sound of water: "Washing, rushing."
Hao Ren finally heard Eva's voice again. She was just repeating one word excitedly: "Eat, eat, eat~~"
