The brilliant sun shines on the Rising Sun Island after the disaster. The collapsed and cracked city may take a long time to repair. As for the giant engine that has been completely scrapped, I don’t know when it will be repaired. The thrilling tumbling last night allowed the island to spend an unprecedented night and a rush of dawn, and all the city's institutions were forced to run at high power to treat the wounded and repair critical equipment that was damaged. The only good news now is that the casualties of the people are not as serious as they might be. The collapses and cracks are mostly marginal or overly urban, the residents of those places are limited, and the earthquake-resistant design of the city itself makes it shake. At the beginning, it persisted for a long time, and the citizens had plenty of opportunities to take refuge in the relatively stable floating island center.

Overlooking the earth at high altitudes, you can see the dust and smoke columns that have not yet been scattered. The dome has already entered traffic control. The air is flying the engineering airship or speeding vehicle that performs the most urgent tasks, while the street below can be seen. To the well-ordered citizens: they are all spontaneously in need of help, and they spontaneously queue up to receive the supplies that have just been rescued from the collapsed warehouse, and spontaneously declare whether they have been injured in the previous disaster, and this Injuries affect how much work capacity they have. There was no confusion, no complaints, and even a rare look at the elf's face. They organized themselves in surprising order. The disaster was sudden, but everyone in the city seemed to have practiced too many times.

Some huge shadows cast on the dome, a large transport ship that was sent from other floating islands. These bulky ships were quickly completed when the Rising Sun Island exploded, and now they bring in valuable medicine and extras. The air filter, the latter is essential: the air circulation in the dome relies on purification equipment buried in the underground and surrounding hoops, but this explosion caused some damage. Now the smoke and dust in the city must be removed as soon as possible, and only external equipment can be used.

Hao Ren and Hill are standing on an open terrace above the minaret of the Royal District, and Hill is pondering. Hao Ren used his vision beyond ordinary people to see all the things in the city. He admired the reaction of these elves in the disaster.

Wim stood quietly behind the two without sound.

“My people are used to this kind of thing. When the island of tranquility disintegrated seventy years ago, they saved the island’s most important material warehouse with great calm. About one-tenth of the citizens in this city are The survivors of the island of tranquility," Hill said softly. "More and more floating islands are approaching the limits of use. The technical elders are trying to fix some of the dead islands that have been extinguished, but the progress has been small."

Hill's face was full of exhaustion, and she had been the most stressed in the past few hours. She began to direct refuge and rescue after the end of the Presbyterian Church. When the floating island rolled, the urban areas began to crack. It was her first time to distribute the evacuation of each urban area and the evacuation plan for the Royal District. After the propulsion unit was completely destroyed, she also cooperated with the command to re-stabilize the floating island. : This queen is not an authority who can only give orders. She is also an expert who knows all the technical parameters of floating islands. Now that all the dust settled, she did not listen to the advice of the guards and went back to rest. Instead, she took Hao Ren to the minaret's terrace and overlooked the city.

"This is our status quo."

Hao Ren is still thinking about the best solution for the Arim Elves. He already has a few ideas, but he still needs to wait for the data terminal to come and confirm which one is most feasible. Before that, he cautiously asked Hill a question: "If I have the ability to get you out of trouble, how much are you willing to pay?"

Hill's back is spread out against the edge of the terrace, as if the whole body would melt into the sky under the dome: "You can see what we have left. What do you think is what you need to take it away." As long as you can make my people live a better life and have a real sky like any other race, you can take everything in your vision."

Hao Ren quickly waved his hand: "Don't be like this. It's easy to misunderstand - I don't want to marry you or the lion." I want to help out of a friend's mentality, but to be honest, I am not alone enough. My ship is dead five or six hundred meters long - so I may need help, those helpers are not free."

Hill thought for a moment: "That is still those words, anyway, we have nothing else. There is no resource in this place. The things we have are no different from the stones in the eyes of higher civilizations. We should only have our own. Labor, but this does not seem to be anything valuable."

"Forget it. Don't mention it first," Hao Ren scratched his hair. I feel that these problems are getting bigger and bigger, "still first..."

When he hadn't finished speaking, he saw an elf running out from the back door and kneeling down in front of Hill: "Her Majesty, praying for a rough scan of the world, did not find Cardinal Adult information."

Said, the elf sent a rolled up file to his hand in front of Hill, who took the file and quickly scanned it. The brow frowned: "The main memory was moved... they actually penetrated So thoroughly. Inform Ekalom, temporarily closing the three auxiliary memories of the world, while strictly reviewing the citizens who apply for each application... temporarily forbid the citizens of the origin of the island to enter the pledge world, they consume extra The ration is paid out of the Royal Storage."

The elf commander retired, and Hao Ren curiously asked: "What is this praying world?"

Hill sighed: "Actually, this is our own trouble... But it doesn't matter to tell you. Pray that the world is a virtual world. It was built by my upper class. It has been running for more than two thousand years. It is the place where we place the souls of the dead, and it is also a special test site."

Hao Ren suddenly thought of a lot of things, and he knew that his guess was not far from ten.

“The earliest establishment of the world was for scientific research tasks,” Hill said slowly. “You know, we are nervous, many things can’t be consumed, and every major trial is a failure for the entire Arim society. A cold winter, so another queen more than 2,000 years ago built a virtual environment called 'Pray World' with the support of the Technical Presbyterian Church. It runs on a giant server, by the best The design and construction of the magician and the astrologer is our last major technological achievement. Pray that the world will simulate the Arim galaxies: a sun, a planet, 100% of the homes we live in, and we have entered our Every rule of the world is known. We even accurately quantify the trueness of the world to every grain of sand, and later add a lot of restrictions on the microcosm. The world mimics reality as much as possible, so that it can be Various large-scale experiments were carried out with the consumption of material resources - the then Technical Presbyterian Church hoped to find it in the world of pledge Other possible ways of star systems to the next star system resource constraints Ruimu, but they do get some results early: Now we are in some spaceship is so used to verify the analog out. "

"But the latter is certainly not so smooth." Hao Ren is easy to think that there will be a turning point in the second half of this story.

Hill nodded. "Yes: Pray that the world will make everything too good, but the technology that really takes tens of millions of light years to travel to other stars is more stringent and precise than we think. We Only by fully grasping the truth can we create a virtual world that is exactly the same as reality. Otherwise, the imitation that is close to it is only imitating. The shadow that is infinitely true is the shadow. There are still many unknown secrets in this universe. We are This little cradle can't be guessed out of thin air. Some scholars even speculate that the mathematical structure of the universe is not necessarily continuous. The rules that come into effect in the Erim stellar system may not be available elsewhere - or at least a few The deviation of the decimal point. In addition, many technologies will be affected by the microcosm when they develop to a certain extent, and even if we make the world of the praying world more accurate, it is impossible to describe its microscopic part in detail, and only one patch can be added continuously. - This is not enough. In any case, after working hard for hundreds of years, pray that the super-light engine made in the world is now Produced in the big bang, there are two floating island wiped out in the explosion, the Pledge world plan of this enthusiasm faded, who in those days such thing as female Wang Yuyu and eventually died. "

Hao Ren knows that this story has a follow-up. (To be continued)
