Life in the collapsed world from scratch

Chapter 690 The Fourth Girl Wants to Know

Logically speaking, due to the failure of the terminal station, for safety reasons, the space elevator is not allowed to operate again until the repair is completed.

But who made Cheng Xi the executor of anti-entropy? For him, whose nominal authority in the organization was second only to leader Walter, restarting the space elevator was just a matter of one sentence, and he didn't even need to write a report.

Even so, he still found a reason to "investigate the damage of the terminal station on the spot".

After all, in addition to being an "executor", he was also the chief engineer of the space elevator project.

The so-called abuse of power for personal gain is probably what it feels like, right?

Cheng Xi thought to himself, and led the girl through the corridor of the space elevator to the inner carrier cabin.

Janna looked around curiously.

The scene inside the cabin was completely different from the boxy metal elevator car she knew. It was not so much an elevator as it was a luxury room in a five-star hotel.

Stepping on the soft carpet, Janna's eyes skipped over the sofa, coffee table and luxurious big bed, and looked at the huge floor-to-ceiling windows that occupied the entire wall.

Because there is no need to wait for other passengers, the elevator cabin has already started at this time, accompanied by a slight feeling of overweight, the scene outside the window is slowly but gradually accelerating "sinking", and soon the wide sea appears instead of the original floating island In view.

As the elevator cabin continued to climb, they were getting farther and farther away from the ground.

Unlike Xier, who was still a little nervous at the beginning, Janna did not show any anxiety or nervousness about the fact that she was gradually moving away from the ground and speeding towards the starry sky. The guide rail less than one meter wide connects the sky with the earth, and extends infinitely towards the distant starry sky until it disappears at the end of the dark deep space.

"Don't underestimate this thin rail."

Cheng Xi came to the girl's side, looked at the scene outside the window and explained,

"It is it that gives humans the possibility to explore and develop deep space."

What the space elevator represents is definitely more than just acting as a bridge between the terminal orbital space station and the ground.

It should be said that it is a bridge connecting human beings with the starry sky.

Its appearance means that human beings no longer need to worry about overcoming the shackles of the earth's gravity, and can completely abandon traditional chemical rockets, thereby greatly reducing the fuel load.

Prior to this, all human activities in space were nothing more than "exploration".

After that, it is possible to develop space in an all-round way... at least the first step has been taken.

It is precisely because of its unique and special significance that Cheng Xi regards it as a more important project than doomsday survival plans such as the core matrix.

Those are just continuing the past of mankind, but the space elevator represents the future of mankind.

"Are these also built by Cheng Xi?" Jana asked, tilting her head slightly.

"It was the engineering project I was leading." Cheng Xi replied.

Seeing such an expression on the girl's face, he shook his head and continued:

"It's just that it didn't use any Herrscher's power to help."

".々...When I built this space elevator, I wasn't even a Herrscher yet."

Cheng Xi... when she was not a Herrscher...

Janna was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, then turned her head and looked out the window

Below them, the guide rails continue to recede and extend, and the originally boundless sea gradually has its boundaries... The distant horizon reveals the outline of the earth, and the originally vast and boundless world becomes smaller and smaller, as small as a girl. You can cover it with your hands.

Janna was quite sure that if she wanted to, she could easily destroy the planet below.

But for the human beings living on it, this extremely fragile planet in their own eyes (Zhao Mo's) is their everything.

...Human beings are small and inconspicuous.

But at the beginning, Cheng Xi only relied on such insignificant strength to build this sky-high tower

"..."

I want to know.

the girl thought.

She wanted to know everything about Cheng Xi.

Whether it is the current Cheng Xi, or the Cheng Xi who was a human in the past,

So study

Looking at the blue planet below, the girl's heart suddenly rose for the first time, wanting to understand their thoughts...

.......

Chapter 690 Five Cheng Xi: I don't mean that...

The carrier cabin is still rising steadily, and as the altitude rises, the scene on the ground has become blurred

All man-made buildings and traces have disappeared from view, and only the landform itself has been preserved.

Janna stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, quietly looking at the world that was getting farther and smaller below.The long blue hair behind her fluttered gently under the gradually weakening gravity, but her body still stood firmly in place, as if she hadn't been affected in any way.

Everything... all gone...

Seeing the originally colorful world below gradually replaced by clouds, yellow-brown land and blue ocean, the girl thought silently in her heart.

Since she was "born", she has been staying in the anti-entropy base.However, at this moment, the anti-entropy base that occupied all the memories in her "life" could not even be seen.

Janna raised her head, because the two of them have gradually left the scope of the atmosphere at this moment, and the sunlight is no longer scattered by the 740 air, allowing the sky to reveal its original appearance.

……Total darkness.

Rather, in her field of vision, it seems that except for the planet below and the sun at its edge, other directions are a dark abyss.The countless stars seemed to be just shining dust, unable to fill this dark void, giving her a feeling of infinite vastness and depth.

It's cold and dark, and as the distance gets farther and farther away, it feels as if the connection with the world below is also getting farther away...

In the whole world, it seemed that only she and Cheng Xi were left.

Miraculously, Janna doesn't feel alone.

"It may have something to do with your race and previous experience."

Facing the girl's question, Cheng Xi thought for a while (bdff), and then gave such an answer.

After all, unlike human beings who are born to be herd animals, Janna, as an independent race, may not be born with a herd mentality... From the perspective of biological population, she may be more lonely than those living alone.

Of course, since what she is imitating is a human body, the reason why she doesn't feel anything should be more of a psychological habit.

Whether it was the interstellar voyage before or the longer imprisonment later, the loneliness in it is not something normal humans can bear. Compared with it, this kind of loneliness is nothing at all, right?

"Race……"

Janna murmured softly.

That's right, I and Cheng Xi are not of the same race... whether they are humans or Herrschers.

"Why are there so many races in the world?" the girl asked suspiciously.

To ask more precisely...why am I different from Cheng Xi?

"This is..."

Because this is the result of natural evolution... Wouldn't it be too boring to answer like this?

"Have you heard of the ethnic boundary theory?" Cheng Xi asked after thinking about it.

Janna shook her head slightly.

"To put it simply, the boundaries of ethnic groups are reflected in the interaction between different groups."

After organizing his language a little bit, Cheng Xi continued: "For example, I am a Han nationality. There are many other ethnic groups in this world, but if there are no other ethnic groups in the world, only the Han nationality is left. Then there will no longer be boundaries between ethnic groups, and the definition of the concept of 'Han nationality' will lose its meaning."

"The conclusion extended from this is that an ethnic group exists because of the existence of other ethnic groups."

Cheng Xi turned around, looked at the girl and continued:

"The same theory is also valid for individuals."

"There is a wall of heart between people, and the existence of self also has boundaries, and it is also reflected in the process of interacting with others.

If all other individuals in the world disappear and only the individual 'I' is left, then whether the concept of 'I' continues to exist has no practical significance. "

All those who destroy the world will eventually destroy themselves... Maybe this theory can also be used to explain it?

Cheng Xi thought in his heart.

On the other side, after listening to the boy's words, Janna's eyes flickered slightly

Does it exist because someone else...

it's not incomprehensible

She thought silently in her heart, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

After all, I also exist because of Cheng Xi

The girl "successfully" understood Cheng Xi's words from a strange angle.

.......

Chapter 690: The Honkai Beast also needs to cleanse itself...?

Just as Janna was looking at the increasingly clear starry sky outside the window, thinking about something, as if a certain critical point had been crossed, the gravity in the cabin suddenly changed.

The gravitational force that could barely keep the two of them standing was weakened in vain, to the point where they couldn't stop themselves from floating without additional force.

Cheng Xi knew that this was because the acceleration process of the transport cabin had finally ended and it began to decelerate, turning the original overweight into weightlessness, and it was superimposed on the reduced gravitational force as it moved away from the earth.

At the same time, this also means that most of their journey has passed, and they are not far from the end.

Cheng Xi raised his head and looked upwards. He could already faintly see the orbiting space station slowly rotating in the distance through the reflection of the sun.

And as the distance gradually approached, the giant man-made building made of pure steel gradually became larger in their eyes, and finally occupied the entire "sky", as if a steel sky appeared above their heads.

Because of the lack of reference objects in space, Janna could not roughly detect it until she was completely close. The huge building above was almost the size of a town.

Although she doesn't know much about human beings, judging from her current experience, the steel building in front of her has far surpassed all the man-made objects she has ever seen... It should be built by humans she knows Is it the largest single building?

"It's also the largest single-body building I know."
