Text Chapter 1878 Blue Wisp

Yan Jinzhi took his mother's hand, and the two of them went through the lifting platform to the top observation platform of the giant immigrant starship "Yuanwang 24".

Here, Xu Yulan finally breathed the first breath of fresh air in hundreds of years.

Although the composition of the air in Bone Dragon Star is different from the standard atmosphere, it is more humid and has a strong fishy-sweet smell, Xu Yulan couldn't help but take a deep breath until her lungs ached and her eyes were colorful and colorful.

This phenomenon will occur after living on a starship for a long time, breathing artificially synthesized standard air, and then being exposed to fresh air full of various impurities. Many people call it "drunk oxygen".

"Look, mother!"

Yan Jinzhi pointed to the magnificent rivers and mountains, and cheered happily.

Xu Yulan's optic nerves had been frozen for hundreds of years, and she couldn't adapt to the strong natural light for a while. She squinted her eyes and built a pergola over her eyebrows with both hands. Most of the immigrant ships, including Wang 33, were scattered in a hilly area not far from the sea.

The light blue land is full of folds, sometimes it is a mountain peak tens of thousands of meters high, and sometimes it is a rift valley several thousand meters deep. Compared with it, the "hills" they are on can be regarded as flat hills up.

The crimson sea in the distance, rolling up the turbulent waves, is the most intense she has ever seen in her life. The waves rushed to the sky hundreds of meters high, like countless giant dragons dancing wildly with teeth and claws, even under the layers of defenses. Under the barrier of Boti, they could still see within dozens of miles of the coastline, almost submerging the hills they were on.

However, even on such a magnificent and moody sea, there are still countless man-made objects with strange shapes, like a strange ship made by piecing together countless sails, riding the wind and waves, chasing the clouds among the waves hundreds of meters high Switching on the electricity and galloping freely, it fully demonstrates the determination of human beings to conquer the world.

Xu Yulan's eyes continued to extend forward until, above the distant horizon, a huge planet appeared in the gray sky.

The outline is shining, like a crystal clear jade ring.

At first, Xu Yulan thought it was an annular solar eclipse.

But if it is a solar eclipse, the surrounding light is too bright.

And not long after, the halo trembled slightly, and countless tiny filaments of light split from it, all deflecting in one direction.

These filaments of light are like a wonderful force that affects the depths of the sea. As the filaments of light fluctuate, the frequency and intensity of the huge waves are faster and higher.

Xu Yulan even saw a huge wave at least several thousand meters high rolled up in the depths of the sea. The huge wave was mixed with flames and thick smoke, and it was about to break through the atmosphere and fly all the way to the sea of ​​stars.

Such a magnificent spectacle left Xu Yulan speechless for a long time.

"Mom, don't be afraid, this is us transforming the Skeleton Dragon Star!"

Just now she was holding her daughter's hand tightly, always trying to pull her behind her to protect her firmly, but now it was her daughter hugging her arm, warming her cold fingers with her warm palm.

The daughter smiled and said, "Everything is good on the Skeleton Dragon, but there is a satellite that is too close to it, and the orbit is very weird. The tidal force between the satellite and the Skeleton Dragon not only makes the sea here particularly violent, but the stormy waves invade the inland at every turn. Hundreds of kilometers away, even after a long time, this satellite will fall directly and bombard heavily on the surface of Skeleton Dragon.

"Because of these two factors, the Star Federation has not developed the Skeleton Dragon Star on a large scale in the past 100 years.

"But now that this place has become our new home, of course we need to carry out large-scale renovations. The first thing we need to do is to deal with the problems of tides and satellite crashes, and then level the mountains and deep valleys. For this reason, the Federation is determined to fine-tune this satellite. orbit, and push the 'moon' slightly away."

Xu Yulan widened her glasses and blurted out, "Push away the 'moon'?"

"Yeah, Star Federation has never attempted such a feat, and they didn't have the technical reserves in this area in the past."

Yan Jinzhi said, "However, now that we have the technology of the Black Wind Fleet, the technology of the Kunlun Ruins, the technology of the Firefly, and the Federation's own technology, there may be a chance of success!

"Of course, it's still in the stage of technical verification and data collection, and it's far from being able to truly 'push the moon away'. Seeing those monsters sinking and floating in the turbulent waves, it seems that their bodies are covered with sails. The ship, that is the exploration ship that collects tidal data and prepares for the arrival of the next stage of "promoting the era" in advance!

"Five years, ten years, twenty years... I think, at most, when I grow up to my mother's age, we will definitely push away the moon, tame the sea, cut down the mountains to fill the deep valleys, and build the Skeleton Dragon Star into Zhiyuan Star, a real paradise, right?"

The daughter's serious expression touched Xu Yulan's deepest memory.

She seemed to recall the time when she just brought her family to the deserted Green Valley Castle, and she was full of hope and pride.

Those were the happiest, happiest, and most energetic golden years of her life.

Xu Yulan ignored the "Firefly" her daughter mentioned, but thought with a sour nose that after going through this long journey, her daughter seemed to have really grown up...

Under the guidance of Yan Jinzhi, Xu Yulan turned her eyes to the towering peaks all around. She saw countless tall towers standing on the top of the mountains, each of which was continuously emitting misty white mist, faintly hovering over them. Next to the landing point of the starship, a white barrier was constructed.

The daughter told her that it was a large array used to transform the atmosphere and purify the air.

After all, the Skeleton Dragon Star was the lair of the monster clan tens of thousands of years ago. There are too many impurities in the air, which is not suitable for ordinary people to breathe for a long time, and it will cause various chronic diseases. As the old saying goes, this place is a "smoky land" .

Fortunately, the Federation has accumulated a wealth of planetary transformation experience in the past hundred years of colonization. At least establishing a protection zone in a small area, purifying the air in a small area, and even creating a "microclimate" with a certain range of good weather is quite mature technology. .

The colonization technology of the real human empire is even higher than that of the Federation. The super-giant immigrant ship "Yuanwang" series that Xu Yulan and the others took is itself an all-encompassing, self-sufficient town and factory. During the year, they don't have to go outside to spread out fragile settlements at all.

Now, all the "Yuanwang" series of immigrant ships have all stretched out hundreds of spider-like fixed limbs, deeply inserted into the ravines between the hills, and firmly fixed themselves.

Based on this, the solid shell of the immigrant ship was disassembled piece by piece, revealing the intricate and dazzling variety of factories and facilities inside, either directly attached to the immigrant ship, or dragged a little farther away.

Defensive arrays, air purification towers, water purification plants, metal mining and smelting plants... Every immigrant ship is turning into small towns with all five internal organs at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even though Xu Yulan claims to be well-informed, she has never seen so many starships turning into small towns at the same time. This kind of heroic ambition to change the world and reverse nature deeply shocked her heart and made her feel a ray of hope. Inexplicable... moved!

Suddenly, Xu Yulan's gaze was drawn away from the dazzling construction scene, and fell on a giant fold surrounding the hills like a dam in the distance.

This circular fold, like a city wall built by giants, firmly sealed the hills inside, curbing their further outward expansion and development.

Therefore, it is necessary to destroy it!

The steep slope with ring-shaped folds of nearly ninety degrees divides different areas, and many giant spider-like eight-legged magic weapons are moving fast on it, and from time to time they use their tentacles with drills to penetrate deep into the slope. Drill holes one by one.

Xu Yulan knew that this eight-legged magic weapon, commonly known as "Mountain Cracking Crab", was an engineering magic weapon specially used to blast abandoned buildings and steep mountain rocks. The eight flexible limbs could fix them in various harsh environments and maintain high speed. Move, and the drill bit at the end of the tentacles can accurately drill blast holes one by one, sending spar bombs to the most vulnerable parts.

Xu Yulan is also an expert at driving the "Mountain Breaking Crab", so it is possible to see how powerful the pioneer who is driving the red Mountain Breaking Crab is.

His speed of moving and digging blast holes on the rock wall is more than five times that of others. The others have just finished digging a dozen blast holes, and he has embedded hundreds of spar bombs in the front mountain, weighing seventy The tons of broken mountain crabs are like an extension of his limbs, and his movements are smooth and smooth, which is pleasing to the eye.

The distance was too far, and Xu Yulan couldn't see how the blast hole he made, but judging from the mercury pouring down the ground and his consummate movements, it must be unmistakable.

Sure enough, there was a loud "bang" that didn't raise too much smoke, and a large mountain rock collapsed silently, but it didn't have much impact on the mountain-breaking crab that was being operated next to it.

"What a master!"

Blasting is also an art. How to use the least amount of spar, under the smallest influence and follow-up cleaning difficulty, but blow up the target to pieces is an extremely profound knowledge.

Xu Yulan faintly saw the red mountain cracker crawling out of the smoke, the "crab cover" behind it was lifted, and a guy in a red vest climbed out dancing, smiling and accepting the cheers and applause of the builders.

She sighed inwardly, but her palms were itchy. She wondered if she was infected by the turbulent construction scene, and she wanted to compete with that person.

"Daughter"

Xu Yulan was gearing up, "The man driving the red mountain crab is amazing, do you know who he is?"

Yan Jinzhi's expression became very strange, and after thinking for a long time, he still didn't know how to explain it: "Uh, Mom, don't be surprised, that is the new 'King of Black Wind', and his name is Li Yao!"
