Chapter 403: High-Dimensional Civilization·City of Star Rings

A few days later, at dusk, on the outskirts of the old town of Modu, a brand-new small garden-style manor was located, and the villas inside were remodeled from very retro buildings.

At this time, Su Mo stood on the balcony on the second floor in his pajamas and looked into the distance.

An incomparably spectacular scene came into view, the ruins of the old city that had been flattened, and a brand new interstellar airport had been built. The all-metal one-piece giant terminal building, each floor is 50 meters high, obviously this is not used to accommodate normal aircraft.

Su Mo has checked a little bit, and the entire federation has planned a total of 24 interstellar airports, of which 18 are built in M ​​area, Z area, E area, O area, and the remaining six branches are in other areas.

In two months, the twenty-four interstellar airports were basically completed in time in the rush work at all costs.

It can be regarded as the largest construction project in recent years.

Su Mo picked up his phone and took a look. Today is the last day of the year-end, and tonight is the New Year. In previous years, today is definitely very lively, and every household is welcoming the new year.

But today it was unusually quiet, because everyone was waiting for the start of the Cup of Heaven.

At the same time, this morning, Su Mo received a public text message from the federation. Since this morning, the entire federation has entered a first-level standby state.

Su Mo looked at the streets of Modu from a distance, and could see teams of heavily armed soldiers starting to patrol the streets. At the same time, armored vehicles and tanks drove out, and there were roaring planes flying past in the sky from time to time.

According to the prompt of the closed star ring game, the Cup of Heaven will officially open at 12 o'clock in the evening.

Su Mo also became more and more inexplicably curious about what the Cup of Heaven looked like.

Inside the administrative building of the Imperial Capital Center in the Federal District Z.

Long Ming was wearing a blue gown embellished with stars, sitting firmly on a chair, resting with his eyes closed, and there were various members of the federation sitting next to him. But most of them were fidgeting. As the time for the Cup of Heaven approached, everyone was very nervous. After all, everyone was about to face an unknown new world.

On the wall of the room, a huge mechanical clock kept moving.

When the hour hand reached half past eleven, a dull bell rang

Boom~

Long Ming opened his eyes and stood up, and said to Augustus and the others, "Let's go!"

All the councilors were shocked and followed behind him.

All the people, led by Long Ming, came to a special elevator inside the administrative building. The place is heavily guarded, and everyone descends to the depths of the ground through the elevator.

The elevator door opened, and everyone came out, and a 30-meter-tall alloy gate came into view.

Long Ming pressed his hand on the identification cipher.

"Fingerprint identification passed!"

"Pupil identification passed!"

"Biometric identification passed!"

After passing the identification instructions one after another, click!

The huge alloy gate slowly rose, and a super-spectacular underground mechanical room came into view. I saw countless optical cables densely covered inside, and those optical cables all extended to the central area.

In the very center of the mechanical room, there is a very special metal pointed pillar with a special metal Rubik's cube embedded in its center.

Everyone walked up to the metal pointed pillar, their hearts raised in their throats.

This is the cornerstone of the opening of the star ring, and it was also what they got from space.

Long Ming raised his hand to look at the time on the watch, when it reached twelve o'clock. He immediately stepped forward and led the crowd to bow to the metal pointed pillar.

The members of the House of Representatives also followed Long Ming's sonorous and forceful declaration.

"Long Ming, President of the Federation Council of Earth and Star Civilization, hereby swears."

"I am willing to use faith and life as fuel to ignite the fire of civilization and open the cup of the star ring to fight the star ring sky. Even if it is lost forever, I will never regret it"

"Willing to use faith and life as fuel, ignite the fire of civilization, and open the cup of the star ring to fight the star ring sky"

Amid the solemn and solemn oaths of the crowd, Long Ming stretched out his hand and pressed it on the metal pointed pillar.

In an instant, the entire metal pointed column is like a blossoming iron tree!

Click!

Countless prismatic metal squares popped up.

The metal Rubik's Cube embedded in the center floated up, and then the metal ceiling above the head cracked open layer by layer.

In the next second, the metal Rubik's Cube automatically rotated and began to split, and then a beam of light pierced into the dark sky.

It is like a sharp blade piercing the dark night sky, and it is also like a road pointing to the light in the darkness.

For a time, everyone in the whole world can see this incomparably spectacular scene.

Su Mo's heart trembled slightly when he saw the beam of light shooting up into the sky.

Looking down from the sky, a beam of light can be seen piercing the atmosphere and spreading out, forming a huge circle of blue halo.

This is like an angel's halo, immediately enveloping the entire earth star together with the nearby moon star.

In the next second, the scenes around the Earth and Moon began to shift, and earth-shaking changes took place.

In the Earth Star, everyone looked up at the starry sky, only to see that the whole world was shrouded in a special halo, and the beam of light reaching the sky was like the only guiding light in this world, illuminating everyone.

Many people who were watching made horrified voices, and even involuntarily developed emotions such as curiosity, excitement, worry, and panic.

Su Mo's heart speeded up involuntarily when he saw this rare sight in a thousand years, it was indeed too shocking.

Fortunately, the whole process didn't last long, and within half an hour, the beam of light that reached the sky began to dissipate.

At this time, the cracked metal Rubik's Cube rotated again, and special halos continuously appeared on its surface.

Long Ming and the others subconsciously took a step back.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely cute loli in a colorful dress, the virtual holographic image of Goli who had led them into the star ring, emerged.

"Dear civilization pioneers, welcome to your arrival. I am Geli. I am honored to tell you that you are lucky enough to participate in the Cup of Heaven to gain a chance to be reborn. I also know that you must be very confused, but it doesn't matter, all your doubts will be resolved. After receiving the answer, I formally represent the will of the star ring and extend an invitation to you to go to the city of the star ring."

"Where is the city of star rings?"

Long Ming took a deep breath and asked.

Immediately afterwards, Geli waved her hand lightly, and a special virtual image emerged.

In the vast starry sky, there is a top shape, the whole body is made of metal, and it is several times larger than the giant planet. Its whole body is surrounded by seven circles of halos of different sizes and colors, and the star city emerges.

The illusory image began to zoom in, and it could be seen that its surface was covered with pitch-black gun barrels, and its reflected luster was daunting. Its interior, whether up, down, left, or right, was densely covered with various metal buildings, and there were magnificent interstellar shipyards. There are dense automatic mechanized processing plants, and there are extremely wide interstellar ports, where interstellar warships are docked. Looking inside, the intricate circular orbits are staggered.

The ultra-futuristic city around the stars, also known as the city of stars. Appearing in front of everyone, people are stunned.

"How do we go here?"

"As the winners of the Cup of Earth, you will get your last interstellar ship for free. You can take that ship to the City of Star Rings, and I will receive you at that time. In addition, I need to tell you that you will go to There are twelve other civilization winners in the Star Ring City, and they will also take the interstellar ship, and it is strictly forbidden to attack each other and conflict on the road."

Golly replied with a smile.

Just when Long Ming was about to ask again.

The light of the metal Rubik's Cube dimmed, as if its energy had been exhausted.

Golly's figure gradually disintegrated.

"I am waiting for your arrival in the Star Ring City."

Augustus and the others looked at Long Ming in bewilderment.

"President Long Ming, what should we do now?"

"Yeah, are we really going?"

"Could this be a trap?"

Long Ming was also a little undecided at this time, this happened too suddenly, and now it is different from the past. The Star Ring in the past could more or less be called a game, but now they were facing another advanced civilization, and once they made a wrong move, they would make a wrong move.

After all, people instinctively fear the unknown.

At this moment, Li Ruiqi hurried in and said to Long Ming.

"President Long Ming, an unknown ship appeared in the sky and is landing towards the interstellar airport of the imperial capital. It has caused extreme panic now, and the fighter formation has locked on that ship. But no response has been received from any calls. The formation leader is seeking instructions for the next step, whether to launch an attack?"

Long Ming took a deep breath, raised his head and said, "No attack."

"I see."

Li Ruiqi turned and left in a hurry.

Long Ming turned to look at Iserine and said, "Iserin, you should come forward immediately and give a public speech to calm the panicked people. Augustus and others, let's go to the interstellar airport and see that interstellar ship."

"Are we really going?"

Spade also frowned.

"Take over the spaceship first. I guess we don't have much choice. Inform Zhang Wei and other doctors to go to the interstellar airport together."

Long Ming gradually calmed down.

"good."

Everyone didn't say much.

Su Mo checked the latest developments of the Star Ring Forum with his mobile phone to see if there was any latest information update.

As a result, a sticky post was swiped as soon as I swiped, and the eye-catching title fantasy came true!

This post was posted by an anonymous player, and the hit rate has reached hundreds of millions.

When you click on the post, you can see a photo that was taken at the Imperial Capital in Z District. In the sky of the imperial capital, a gray giant interstellar ship with a length of five kilometers and a span of one kilometer broke through the clouds and landed towards the interstellar airport.

At the same time, there is another photo attached to the post. This photo was taken at the civilization ruins in the center of the continent where the star ring was left behind. The ship of its internal propeller is exactly the same as the real ship, exactly the same.

This poster wrote a paragraph in bold red characters.

"Brothers and sisters, look clearly! The things in the star ring have appeared in reality. Is this fantasy reflected in reality, or are we entering fantasy."

Su Mo took a deep breath.

At this time, a live notification popped up on his mobile phone. Of course, it was obviously sent by the Federation indiscriminately, and it should be to deal with panic.

Although everyone had prepared a little before, when the reality came, the inner fear was born involuntarily.

Su Mo clicked and entered the live broadcast to watch.

Soon the image of Estherine appeared in front of everyone, and she saluted everyone.

"Dear people, don't have any panic about the occurrence of various changes. Everyone stays at home. We have now officially participated in the Cup of the Star Ring Sky, but the specific situation is still unclear, but everything will happen soon. It will be revealed, the federal government promises to disclose all front-line information, and will not conceal it from everyone. But at the same time, I also hope that all the people will not create any commotion at this juncture, otherwise everything will be treated as treason."

I have to say that Estherine's speech is still very effective, directly killing the hidden danger of instability in the cradle.

On the other side, when Long Ming led everyone to the interstellar airport, the interstellar ship had landed steadily in the middle of the airport.

Li Shijie has led his subordinates to surround him.

When he saw Long Ming and others rushing over, he saluted one after another.

"President of the Council."

"How is it going?"

"This interstellar ship suddenly appeared and landed. After landing, the landing hatch opened automatically, but no one came out. To be on the safe side, I didn't let anyone in."

"Well done, how long will it take for Zhang Wei and others to come back?"

Long Ming nodded slightly, then turned to ask the subordinate next to him.

"They'll be here soon."

The subordinate next to him responded quickly.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhang Wei and other doctors hurried over. When they saw this interstellar ship, the old man shouted excitedly.

"Propeller!"

Seeing Zhang Wei and the others, Long Ming recognized this ship as the Thruster at a glance, and nine times out of ten it should be correct. This ship should be the spaceship that the Cup of Earth finally obtained.

"Get on board."

Long Ming said.

Zhang Shijie said a little worriedly: "My lord, is this too reckless? Why don't we go up and take a look first?"

"There is nothing to worry about. The craftsmanship and technology of this interstellar ship have long surpassed our time. If the other party really wanted to harm us, we would have died long ago. There is nothing to worry about. Let my old man go up first. "

Zhang Wei and other scientific research doctors couldn't wait any longer, and their eyes were full of excitement.

"Don't worry, go up."

Long Ming pondered for a few seconds and replied.

"yes!"

Zhang Shijie backed away.

Long Ming and others boarded the ship from the entrance and came to the slender metal corridor.

Soft lights are embedded in the ceiling of the passage.

Zhang Wei was familiar with the road and led everyone in. When he got the ship in the Xinghuan game, he traveled all over the ship, and he was very familiar with every corner of the ship.

Soon they came to a three-way intersection.

Three metal gates cut off the road, and Zhang Wei pressed the switch of the gate on the right.

The metal gate opens automatically.

Zhang Wei led everyone in, and introduced them to everyone as he walked.

"The channel we come in is called the login channel. There are three gate openings here, leading to the ship's area A, B, and C. But one thing is the same. After the gate is opened, we will arrive at a sealed and transparent In the isolation room, people who are normally on the ship need to be checked here. On the one hand, it is to prevent people from intruding in. On the other hand, it is to prevent people on the ship from carrying viruses or parasites. Its design concept is very advanced. Through Going further inside the first isolation room, there is also an inspection room, which is used for secondary inspection. azimuth coverage"

Augustus and the others couldn't help reaching out to touch the smooth wall. Although they had touched it in the game, it felt different in reality.

The cold walls made people feel inexplicably excited, as if the stars and the sea were beckoning to them.

Soon after, Long Ming and others arrived at the central control room smoothly.

The huge control room was empty, without a single figure. At the same time, the central console was activated, and prompts popped up constantly on the virtual video screen.

"Please bind identity permissions"

Several people from Zhang Wei immediately stepped forward to enter their identity and authority.

Long Ming and the others stood in place and looked at the surrounding control room with increasingly complicated expressions.

Spade said in a deep voice: "What should we do now? I guess we don't have much time left to make a decision."

"As the head of the Federal Parliament, I have to go there myself."

Long Ming took a deep breath, made a decision and said.

"We'll go with you too. There are so many people that we can negotiate."

Augustus and the others shook their heads.

"Okay then, leave Etherine behind and let the others go together, but I have another proposal."

After some calculations, Long Ming estimated that the danger was not high.

"What proposal?"

"Bring some reporters and live broadcast the whole process to reduce the panic of the people."

"Will it work? I'm talking about the technical side."

Augustus was also very surprised by Long Ming's proposal.

"No problem, the Propeller is advanced enough, and its internal information transmission device is very powerful. As long as this ship is used as an information transmission transfer device, there will be no problem."

Zhang Wei replied with certainty.

"Then do this, how long will it take for you to finish debugging?"

Long Ming asked.

"All the parameters of this Thruster have been adjusted. You don't need to move much, you just need to get familiar with it. But the cold storage of this ship's survival material reserve is empty, and we need to fill it ourselves, so the fastest It will be twelve hours before we can set off."

"Resupply the ship immediately and set off in twelve hours"

Long Ming gave the order decisively.

"yes!"

Twelve hours later, the Booster was resupplied.

In the control room, Zhang Wei and others sat in their respective operating positions, and two reporters stood aside with live broadcast equipment on their backs, extremely nervous.

After everything was ready, Zhang Wei turned to look at Long Ming.

"lets go."

After Zhang Wei received the instructions, he issued orders in an orderly manner.

"Close all access hatches."

"The gate breaks the peripheral closed passage."

"Activate the concentrated power unit CS1."

"Starting, power output is normal."

"Check all wiring, and loops."

"R1-R2342 line is normal"

"Activate the anti-gravity assist system, and the jetting device is ready to activate."

Following the issuance of operation instructions one after another, special device ports at the bottom of the Thruster were opened one by one, and the huge Thruster floated up little by little, and then the jets at the tail were ignited.

The Thruster began to slowly leave the interstellar airport.

Long Ming and Augustus stood on the observation deck, looking at the gradually shrinking city and land, their hearts also lifted.

It would be a lie to say that they are not nervous. In fact, they are not too worried about their own safety. What they are more worried about is the fate of all mankind.

It didn't take long for the Thruster to break through the atmosphere, sail out of the earth and stars, and come to the vast starry sky.

The moment they flew out of the starry sky, through the looking glass, they saw the incomparably magnificent city around the stars at a glance. The halo emitted from its body was so bright and dazzling, just like the sun.

At this time, Zhang Wei quickly entered instructions on the console to set the flight trajectory, and at the same time issued an order: "Go at full speed, aim at the city of the star ring."

"clear!"

Many operators responded one after another.

At this time, the two reporters swallowed their mouthfuls of foam, walked up to Long Ming's side bravely, and asked.

"Sir, are we going to start the broadcast?"

"Rebroadcast it! Everyone is entitled to know what happened."

Long Ming replied calmly.

"yes!"

Immediately the reporter began to debug the equipment.

Soon the live video was sent back to Earth Star.

At this time, Su Mo was sitting at home watching TV, waiting for the latest developments.

At this time, the TV image was inserted into a live broadcast, and a rather young reporter said excitedly: "Everyone respects the audience, I am Nick, the federal news reporter, and now I will broadcast the latest progress of the Sky Cup for you. Now you can watch It turns out that I am in the control room of a ship. This ship is called the Propeller, and it is the final reward for winning the Earth Cup. Now the president of the Federal Assembly is leading a large number of members and is heading to the city of Star Ring. It is too clear what the Star Ring City is."

"Actually, I don't know where it is, but it doesn't matter. I can point the camera to the viewing glass and let everyone take a look."

Speaking of the video screen began to switch.

From a distance, everyone can see a mechanical city in the shape of a top, but because the distance is a bit far, they can't see it clearly.

"Because of the distance now, we can't see very clearly, but it doesn't matter. When it gets closer, I will show you the city of Star Ring in all directions. Now let me tell you about the situation. Currently, the ship is traveling at sub-light speed. Going forward, we are expected to arrive at the City of Star Rings in seven hours. The Thruster we are riding on now, as far as I know from the doctor on board, its technology is at least five hundred years ahead of our existing technology, but this ship There is a high probability that the ship is not the highest technological achievement in the City of Rings, and it is estimated that the technology in the City of Rings may have an epoch-making gap with ours."

"So if the communication goes well, we really win the Cup of Heaven, and maybe our civilization can really get a new life."

Nick kept explaining.

Watching the live broadcast, Su Mo couldn't help giving Long Ming and the upper-level members of the Federation a thumbs-up.

He also did not expect that the Federation did not choose to go to the invitation alone this time, but chose to broadcast live publicly.

This is really intended to be transparent, without any cover-up, and is ready to unite all mankind to deal with this cup of heaven.

Su Mo walked to the refrigerator and took out instant noodles and drinks from the refrigerator. He didn't go anywhere today, so he just stayed at home and watched the live broadcast.

His heart is also getting more and more excited. Now that the interstellar ships are real, then the mechs also exist, and when he thinks about turning around, he can actually touch the mechas.

The blood in Su Mo's body boiled involuntarily.

After getting everything ready, Su Mo picked up his phone and glanced at the Xinghuan Forum. The forum is still very lively, countless players are posting to discuss the city around the stars, and the Cup of Heaven.

They panicked from the beginning, gradually adapted, and began to look forward to the upcoming bright future.

Of course, there are also quite a few sensible people who extinguish their illusions with words.

"Don't have too good an idea. If you think about it carefully, the difficulty of the Earth's Cup must be lower than that of the Sky's Cup. Even if we win, how many people will survive in the end, let alone the Sky's Cup. And the worst One point, this is the real world, not the world of the Cup of Earth, you can be resurrected after death.”
