Chapter 201 World Expansion
Chapter 201 World Expansion
Just as the survivors from the "High-rise World" stood under the Monument to the Unknown Heroes and bowed their heads in silence, Xiao Jian suddenly felt a slight shock.
It is not a vibration in the physical sense, but a vibration from the depths of the world, as if from the depths of the soul...
That's...some kind of rule was triggered! ?
Xiao Jian suddenly felt this way for some reason.
"Quick, look! Over there!"
Suddenly, a soldier seemed to have discovered something and pointed into the distance and shouted.
On the horizon, the fog is receding...
Originally, the world of N7183 was already very big, but it was just big.
For the people of Fortress Town, such a large and barren land has no other function except giving them huge strategic depth.
But at this moment...not just the fog in the distance is dissipating! Even the terrain is changing dramatically! !
"Wow..."
Countless black feathers appeared out of thin air from behind Xiao Jian, and then turned into a pair of black wings.
Xiao Jian took off with just one tap.
Zhang Jinyu fell half a step behind, then transformed into a flying feather and followed.
"Wow! Wings...are they so handsome?" The four red, orange, yellow and green will-o'-the-wisp youths exclaimed at the same time.
And the eyes of the other survivors... no, the comrades all fell on the two retreating figures.
"Don't you go and take a look?" asked the woman who had spoken to Zhang Weidong before.
"Ahem, I don't have that... I don't need it, the two of them can handle it." Zhang Weidong said a little embarrassed.
"Oh, who are they to you? Guards?" the woman continued to ask.
Zhang Weidong just pretended to be so big on them. Although it was probably because Xiao Jian gave him face, it would be a bit embarrassing for him to expose it himself.
"Junior, I can be considered a junior." Zhang Weidong scratched his cheek guiltily, "Oh, I will take you to see the dormitory first. You can live in the dormitory first...walk around..."
…
Just when Zhang Weidong was trying his best to confuse the matter, Xiao Jian and Zhang Jinyu had already flown to the place where the "High-rise World" merged one after another.
Here, the earth trembles slightly and slowly extends around...
The various terrains that seem to exist like texture errors are actually expanding simultaneously!
Xiao Jian watched helplessly as those tiny fragments absorbed the surrounding fog and gradually "grew" into a real swamp and a real virgin forest!
The fan that was originally placed at the edge of the fog has stopped long ago, but the surrounding fog seems to have no intention of recovering. It has even been absorbed and disappeared by the fragments of the world...
The fragments of the world that were originally just randomly stacked together expanded and grew like sprouted soybeans, and finally expanded the boundaries of N7183 by nearly a kilometer!
N7183 plus the "High-rise World", as well as the fragments of other worlds sandwiched between the two, are all integrated into one!
If the original outline of N7183 was an egg, then the outline of this aggregate now becomes a gourd.
The largest gourd is N7183, the smaller one is the "aggregation of world fragments", and the gourd mouth is the original "high-rise world".
"...It's really spectacular." Zhang Jinyu, who was parked next to Xiao Jianjian, admired in a low voice.
"Yes, there are so many terrains stacked together... If it were man-made, I don't know how much it would cost - it must be several hundred million, right?" Xiao Jian admired.
"It can't be built even if it's hundreds of millions." Zhang Jinyu shook his head, "This is completely a geological park... It would cost hundreds of millions just to keep these plants from different latitudes alive."
"Wow, that's a lot of money." Xiao Jian whistled.
Buildings are indeed worthless, but those plants are extremely expensive.
After all, if you can't create a good growing environment for them, the plants will die even if they are transplanted.
It is a collection of plants from different latitudes and different ecological environments from all over the world. Not to mention whether there are rare plants in it, a huge price must be paid just to keep some plants alive.
But now, the tropical virgin forest and the boreal coniferous forest echo each other, and the Populus euphratica in the yellow sand contrasts with the rice fields on the black soil next to it...
This is truly a wonder that even money can’t buy.
Xiao Jian turned around briefly and landed on the ground, while the researcher who had been guarding the equipment came over.
"Lord God, this is... do you know what's going on?" Almost all the researchers looked at Xiao Jian expectantly.
However, they were destined to be disappointed.
"I don't know." Xiao Jian spread his hands, "I'm not a real god... Don't use me as a wishing machine!"
Just when the faces of the researchers showed disappointment, Xiao Jian added: "But... I seem to feel a slight vibration at the level of rules."
"In other words, although we all live in world fragments, our understanding of world fragments is still relatively superficial..."
"I guess the expansion of those world fragments is inseparable from the integration of that tall building."
"And the reason why that tall building can be integrated seems to be related to Captain Zhang's sudden... ahem, speech."
Xiao Jian pointed to the Monument to the Unknown Heroes, and then gave a general explanation of Zhang Weidong's operations.
"...So, is it consent?" A researcher thought for a while and came to this conclusion.
"I think it's more than just approval."
Xiao Jian suddenly remembered that the group of survivors he raised in "Windmill World" had not been able to prevent "Windmill World" from continuing to shrink.
"Perhaps, this is also related to the master of the world... As for why it is related to the master of the world, and what the master of the world is, you need to study it slowly."
As he talked, it was already getting late - unlike the "simple day and night" in Xiao Jian's courtyard, the "animation" of day and night alternating in giant world fragments like Fortress Town was still very smooth.
At this time, the "sun" has moved to the center of the sky, and it is obviously noon now.
"Did you eat just now?" Xiao Jian turned around and asked.
"I've eaten." Zhang Jinyu said.
"Oh, I haven't eaten yet...I'm going to get some food to eat, bye."
Xiao Jian had just been busy observing the survivors, forgetting about his own body and Shao You, who was researching things on the second floor, hadn't eaten yet.
After he remembered it, he hurried to the canteen, grabbed two meals and took them back to the small courtyard.
Putting down his share first, Xiao Jian went directly to the second floor.
After knocking on the door several times but getting no response, Xiao Jian simply pushed the door open and walked in.
Shao Youxian was lying in front of the computer. From the reflection of his glasses, he could see that various data codes were constantly sliding down the screen like rain.
Xiao Jian first took a look at his character card, and then placed the dinner plate on the computer table after making sure it was okay.
"Take a break first and have a meal... Today is scrambled eggs with tomatoes!"
Not sure whether he heard Xiao Jian talking or smelled the aroma of the food, Shao You struggled to move his eyes away from the screen, then held the plate and started eating.
"Slow down...slow down!"
Xiao Jian quickly opened a mineral water resource card, took a bottle and handed it over.
"Gudong Gudong..."
"Wow, I'm alive, thank you."
Shao You touched his lips first, and the stiffness on his face finally faded away, becoming a little more flexible.
"How did you..."
"I have made a major discovery!" Shao Youxian said excitedly, "I probably know the arrangement of these runes!"
"Let me tell you, there are 33 of these runes in total, and each rune has at least 4 variations, so the total number will exceed 150!"
"As of now, each rune has a fixed meaning and function. If the order of inscription is different, the meaning will be completely different, and the functions will be even more different."
"And through known laws..."
"..."
Shao Youxian became more energetic as he talked, but Xiao Jian became more and more sleepy as he talked.
"...With a slight change, we can get a brand new one...Wait, something is not right here, please wait a moment, I will check it again..."
"..."
As he spoke, Shao Youxian went back to his own world, staring at the screen in a daze, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.
After Xiao Jian repeatedly made sure that there was nothing wrong with his character card, he carefully exited his room. '
"Gulu..."
Xiao Jian endured his hunger and listened for a long time. When he finally got to eat, the food was already cold.
but……
"tasty!"
Eggs from Ranch Town, tomatoes and rapeseed oil from Farm Town, the combination is a magical dish for cooking.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Jian looked at the various scrolls stacked all over the table, and his head suddenly felt big.
He simply summoned his clone to become a raven and flew through the fog to the "Windmill World" to have a look.
Just as he told those researchers, the "Windmill World" is still shrinking.
But fortunately, the fragments of this world are large enough to accommodate more than a hundred human survivors.
However, when the raven appeared in the "Windmill World", Xiao Jian found that the survivors were either lying down or leaning, and only a few of them were still busy.
As the fog gets closer and closer, the sawmill that was originally located on the edge of the fog is also at risk of being swallowed by the fog.
Therefore, some sturdy "salvagers" are taking advantage of the fog to cover the deep forest, seizing the time to cut and transport wood, and are very busy.
But the mental state of others is a bit worrying.
"Well……"
Xiao Jian thought for a while and decided to test these people first.
Of course, this is not a crazy experiment. I just want to see if this group of refugees can prevent the invasion of the mist if they feel a sense of belonging to this land.
So, how do you create a sense of belonging?
Food, clothing, housing and transportation will probably have to be taken care of.
Needless to say, food is just a matter of farming. You can get some seeds from the farm town.
Clothing also depends on growing flax or cotton.
As for travel...it's such a big place in total, so traveling doesn't seem to be a problem.
So, the most important thing is probably "living", right?
Xiao Jian thought like this, took out a lot of rock resource cards that were left before, and started to "pinch" the house out of thin air.
