Crane's Ark of Tomorrow Daily

"That's the route we're going for, at least five days."

Kong frowned, and asked a little puzzled, "Why do you want to go along this route? Isn't this a waste of time? Here, here, and that place? Why do you have to go around in such a big circle?"

At the places that Kong pointed to, the route was strangely bent into a big "U" shape, and looking at the signs on the map, there were no obstacles such as mountains in those places.

"The route is mainly to bypass the movement tracks of moving cities along the way."

Under normal circumstances, when the natural disaster has not yet come, the mobile city will stop moving and stay in place. Only when the signal of the natural disaster is observed, the mobile city will be restarted.After all, once the mobile city is activated, it will devour a large amount of pure origin stones every second. This kind of consumption must be avoided if it can be avoided.

"Every mobile city has its fixed trajectory...or in other words, it can only move within its own territory."

"I know this kind of thing, I didn't ask you to give me common sense of science," Sora said with some dissatisfaction, "I just want you to explain why there is such a big circle."

"Don't worry, I'll explain it right away. It seems that you really don't know about this... Yes, I saw this by accident, but I think it makes sense."

"Most people believe that although the occurrence of natural disasters can be predicted in advance, there is no trace of where the natural disasters will occur. However, some people have put forward such a point of view. Where the origin stone fluctuation is strong, the more It may attract natural disasters."

Perhaps in order to create an atmosphere, Li Ke's voice could not help but become low, "So empty, here comes the question, which place in the world has the most origin stones?"

"Mine lode... No, it's not right. It's a mobile city?!" "Hehe..." Li Ke smiled and said, "Yes, that's right, natural disasters are chasing the mobile city."

Move the city to avoid natural disasters, and then recycle the origin stones brought by the natural disasters to replenish the consumption of the mobile city. This complete cycle has been running for hundreds of years without any problems.

Hearing this, Sora couldn't help feeling a silent chill in his heart... The natural disasters were chasing the moving city, it sounded like there was nothing wrong with it, but Sora's intuition told her that there was something wrong with it.

However, Li Ke has no intention of continuing on this issue, "In short, over the past few centuries, the trajectory of mobile cities has basically remained the same, so there are usually a large number of sources left on that route. Stone radiation. Even after such a long time, the radiation will still remain in place, this car has limited protection, if you accidentally plunge into a radiation area above level 5, it will be a bit troublesome."

Kong snorted twice with a little dissatisfaction, and reluctantly accepted the answer, she was still thinking about what Li Ke said before.For some reason, she always felt that there were a lot of things she cared about in those words.

"Li Ke, have you seen this kind of statement? Why have I never heard of it?"

Natural disasters are chasing mobile cities, this kind of statement is too unbelievable.The ignorance of the outside environment is only because Kong has never paid attention to this aspect before, but natural disasters are closely related to everyone in the world of Terra. If what Li Ke said is true, she should never have heard of it. right.

"It's just a hypothesis put forward by an unknown scholar. It's normal if you haven't heard of it. I also found it in a corner of the Longmen City Library."

It was discovered by Li Ke when he was looking up information in the library. A manuscript with only one thin page was hidden in the interlayer of a history book.

The author's name is not marked on the manuscript, and there is only a logo of a spiral tower named "BABEL".It should be the name of an organization, but Li Ke searched the library for a long time, but found no similar hidden manuscripts, nor did he find any information related to this organization.

There is a certain resonance between natural disasters and origin stones, so natural disasters will continue to befall near the mobile city.

Li Ke thinks this statement is very reasonable, otherwise it cannot explain why there are still some places on this land that have not been hit by natural disasters... For example, Kjerag, Kiesta, and those unknown small villages far away from the mobile city .

If you think about it in this way, it can be understood that it is not that natural disasters will not hit these places, but that the natural disasters that should have come there are attracted by the mobile city.

"It turned out to be a hypothesis... Let me just say it," Kong patted his chest lightly, heaved a sigh of relief, and the inexplicable meaning that emerged in his heart subsided a little, "You say that like a natural disaster has consciousness."

"If you deliberately scare me again, be careful and I'll hit you." Kong waved his hand and threatened.

"Hey, look at the current situation clearly, I'm driving now." Li Ke said without turning his head.

He was running over the wasteland at a high speed of more than [-] yards. Although there were basically no obstacles in his field of vision, it was still a bit dangerous.

"So I'm just talking..." Kong lowered his head a little guilty, she really almost made a move just now, um, just a little bit.

"It's okay to chat with me. I can still do it with one mind and two minds, but don't touch me."

In order to avoid some troubles, Li Ke gave Kong a verbal warning.

"I see……"

"In short, regardless of whether this hypothesis is true or not, it is always right to trade a little time for safety."

Moreover, is it true that natural disasters are unconscious as Sora said?Thinking of that legacy, Li Ke frowned.

That thing should also be regarded as a special kind of origin stone. If there is such a thing, it is not a strange thing if the natural disaster that is a collection of origin stones really has self-awareness.

Natural disasters, infected people, and origin stones are intertwined, forming an inseparable cycle.The origin stones brought by the natural disasters, people mining the origin stones lead to the emergence of infected people, and the corpses of the infected people will turn into origin stones after death, becoming a beacon that invites natural disasters.

Think more deeply to understand the role of man in this chilling cycle.If the origin stone really has consciousness, then what is the purpose of "it"?

This time, when Li Ke went to Victoria, he also had the idea of ​​looking for information about this organization.As one of the oldest and most powerful countries in the world, Victoria may find some clues there.

In the world of Terra, there are only traces of history in the last few hundred years, and as it moves forward, there is only a blank space left.The Tower of Babel... symbolizes the wisdom and unity of mankind. Looking at the spiral-shaped tower reaching the sky drawn on the logo of this organization, Li Ke doesn't think these people don't know the meaning of the Tower of Babel.

Even if there is a certain connection between this world and the earth, which leads to various similarities between the two worlds, such a "Tower of Babel" also existed in the world of Terra, so interesting things come.

The Tower of Babel should be a name that has long been lost in history. How did that organization know the name and its meaning?

Just like the beginning of an adventure novel, the protagonist finds the information left by a mysterious organization in the library, and then embarks on an adventurous journey.This one called "Babel Tower" has successfully aroused Li Ke's interest.

"Ah--" While Li Ke was thinking about this, he suddenly heard someone sneezing beside him.

Li Ke asked, "Huh? Is the temperature in the car a little low? Do you want me to raise the temperature?"

"That... I wasn't the one who sneezed just now..." Sora was silent for a while before replying in a low voice.

"..."

"..."

A wordless atmosphere filled the air between the two... The sneeze just now was not for nothing, so who could it be?

Li Ke has silently slowed down the speed of the car.

The rear part of this car is big enough, except for the part where things are stored, there is a small room at the back, enough for one or two people to rest in it, and hiding one person is naturally not a problem.

Li Ke never expected that someone would sneak into the car while he was not paying attention... The only chance to do this was the few minutes when he returned to his room to pack his things...
