Chapter 756 The Earth in the Gray Rain
Chapter 756 The Earth in the Gray Rain
Droplets of rain fell from the dark grey sky and landed on the steel-colored ground, boiling instantly and creating a dense mist. Even in the humid rainy season, the roar continued here. Thousands of huge chimneys stood like volcanoes, with countless white smoke and mist coming out of them, forming a spectacular scene.
Under the protective layer made of layers of steel plates, dense tracks crisscross, continuously inputting the processed raw materials, and then dragging out the finished products that have not yet completely cooled down. The sound of machinery running can be heard everywhere, and the rough blanks of various parts of large warships are formed here.
In the past, such a piece of land was the hometown that many people would never leave in their lifetime, but in the interstellar era, such an area with more than 300 million employees is just a production base under a giant enterprise.
The development of technology and the opening of information channels have made war no longer the battle of wits and courage between small groups as it used to be. Many strategies and arts of war studied by generals in ancient times have become simple and plain clashes of power in the vast space.
What really determines victory in a war is no longer whether the soldiers on the front line are brave or whether the generals have profound military strategies, but the industrial productivity and organizational level of the entire organization.
On a distant hill in the steel-gray earth, a figure holding an umbrella walked slowly up the ridge.
She was wearing a wine-red classical long dress with a straight waist. Many parts of the skirt were wet with mud and water, revealing a heavy black color. However, she never paid attention to what was beneath her, but always looked into the distance. The endless steel-gray hills were hazy in the rain and fog, and long columns of water smoke reached the sky, as if supporting the sky.
Finally, her footsteps stopped at the concrete platform at the top of the mountain, which was the highest place around.
She took a few steps forward, as if she wanted to touch the distant mountains in her sight, she raised her hand and stretched it out from the umbrella. Then heavy raindrops kept falling and hitting the back of her hand. The cool and cold touch finally woke her up from her gaze and turned her eyes to the gray sky.
The black umbrella slowly turned, throwing out drops of water that flew into the rain outside. She stood quietly there, gazing at the endless steel-gray earth in the distance.
Judging from her appearance, this woman does not look old, but she does not have the youthfulness and innocence of a young girl. She is like a solid piece of jade, with a restrained and profound temperament.
Stone, Jade, Grass, the titles of the singing girls in the western star region all seem to be related to tenacious things. They are not as elegant and refined as those in the central star region. However, such titles can always win the kindness of local residents because this is exactly the spirit they need and is in line with the environment they are in.
'Red Carnation' Chi Wanxin, sixty years ago, she was also a rookie singer in the Federation. She became famous together with 'Green Snake' Youlandojia. However, her fame and influence were always suppressed by her peer 'White Rose Harp' Ewen Qilin.
She did not achieve outstanding results when she was young. As she grew older, her spirit and energy faded. Like many of her predecessors, Chi Wanxin gradually retreated to the second line and became a relatively ordinary singer.
Originally, she thought that she would spend the rest of her life in this ordinary and stable life.
"I didn't expect that innocent child back then would eventually change everything." She silently said this in her heart, and when she recalled that figure again, she felt as if she were in a dream.
When she first met Blanche, she was not too surprised. The child with ordinary talent and appearance that did not stand out among the singers was just like herself in the past.
Bamboo sounds elegant, but it is actually a plant of the Poaceae family, which is a type of grass. Places where bamboo grows densely are sometimes called green deserts because they are extremely strong weeds.
'Golden Sun Grass', 'Red Carnation'... Chi Wanxin silently recalled the titles of the singing girls of the Western Star Region throughout the ages, and could always feel a simple vitality.
She had been young and crazy before, and had even fought against the 'Green Snake' Youlandojia. The two competed with each other, but when faced with Iwen Qilin, whose talent and strength far exceeded theirs, both felt a sense of despair as if they were looking up at a mountain.
Regardless of her family background, support from the power of the background, or even her appearance, manners, and temperament, Ewen Qilin was a mountain that could not be climbed over by the singers of the same generation. She was promoted rapidly after her debut, reaching the pinnacle of the Moon-level singer. In the era when there were no Sunday-level singers, she was the uncrowned king of all singers. Even if she had been in seclusion for a long time, she was still someone that many people could not catch up with.
As a classmate, friend, and familiar peer, Chi Wanxin certainly knew how terrifying Yiwen Qilin's strength was. That was a height that she and Youlan Duojia would never be able to catch up with in their lifetime, so at a very early stage, she gradually gave up on continuing to climb along this path.
If someone far away succeeds, it will not affect your life and you may only feel envious occasionally. However, if people around you who seem to have the same background and conditions succeed, it will bring a lot of pressure. At this time, you will doubt whether you have missed something in the past.
Facing Blanche who had become the 'Sun of Ten Stars', Chi Wanxin's initial emotions were very complicated. She felt gratified, admired, but also had a slight regret and jealousy. She wondered if she had been bolder back then, would the result have been better?
Ten years later, Blanche passed away after a busy and hard life. Before leaving, she transferred the core position of the Western Star Region to Arosa, who was still ten years old. Chi Wanxin witnessed almost the entire process.
When facing Blanche, her mood changed again, from past envy to deep respect and love.
She was so young, and as a singer she had not even reached the peak of her life, yet she left this complicated world so prematurely.
If she were honest with herself, Chi Wanxin felt that even if she had the same opportunity and timing as Blanche, she would not be able to achieve this, and all the regrets of the past disappeared.
No great achievements are ever achieved by accident, especially those that turn the tide of the times, which cannot tolerate any water.
Eight years passed quickly. After Blanche left, the country was still running smoothly under her afterglow. The new singer who was the heir also grew up gradually. Everything was developing in a good direction, if not for some accident.
Chi Wanxin didn't know much about 'Flame Candy' Pulin Koko, she only knew about this younger singer from Youlandojia.
I thought she would go through a passionate adolescence like Yulandojia, and then gradually become ordinary. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, this previously inconspicuous junior set off a huge wave, completely controlled the powerful federal center, and became the volcano queen who brought huge deterrence and oppression to all parties.
"Young people today are all monsters."
Chi Wanxin lifted her heels and tapped the soles of her shoes on the ground to shake off the mud and water. She then lifted the hem of her skirt slightly and wrung out the water on the edges. After doing this, she looked back at the steel-gray earth in the distance, then slowly walked down the ridge with an umbrella in hand.
I don't know what the end of this land will be.
Everything has changed so fast since you left
You made a good start, but the road ahead is still difficult.
There's not much I can do but pray for it silently.
Pray that its final destination is what you wish.
Make sure your wishes and efforts are not forgotten
This gradually cold world
It has been a long time since I heard a gentle fairy tale.
