Chapter 369 369. Bigger is beautiful, more is better

The weeping sky had been brewing for a long time, and finally it rained heavily.

The raindrops fell on the leaves, making a pleasant crisp ticking sound. The dense tree canopy blocked most of the raindrops, and the ground was not so messy, only filled with moist water vapor.

Qiao Mu stood under the tree and looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, some kind of deep muffled sound burst out from the clouds.

The leaves began to tremble unnaturally and the trunks shook, like a sign of some impending disaster.

Through the cracks in the trees, Qiao Mu could see the sky in the distance beginning to burn.

The endless clouds were burned and evaporated, and the original leaden gray turned into a deep dark red.

The next moment, the flaming clouds came towards this side, passing through the sky silently, cutting a trail on the gloomy black clouds, like a sword cutting through the sky, even causing the shower to stop. Come down.

"I wonder what this thing is?"

Qiao Mu sighed with emotion.

After that, he and Qianyun walked for another half month and encountered a small ruins, a small lake, and a group of strange-looking beasts, but no traces of other metals were found. The remains of the machine dragon seemed to be a By accident, it happened to land around town.

The essence of the development of civilization is also a collection of coincidences. Countless small-probability events gathered into a tower under the erosion of time, and finally life and civilization came into being. It can be said to be accidental, or it can be said to be the inevitability of fate.

As for the research and development of the rocket, it has been completed. Although Qiao Mu and Qianyun did not provide much help, and they were walking in this foreign land for a month, at least they ensured that no wild beasts would attack the town.

"Maybe it's also a machine dragon."

Qianyun put his hand on the wet bark, feeling the dull roughness.

"Probably."

Qiao Mu felt that what Qianyun said made sense.

On the one hand, everyone already knows that there once was a mechanical civilization in this world, the main component of which was mechanical life. Through the contact between the logical core and metal, it can expand itself and recover from damage.

On the other hand, when the repaired machine dragon flew into the sky, the giant beast in the sky that would not have appeared immediately appeared, which made people think.

Rather than dreaming up a god, it is obviously more reasonable to use existing things to explain phenomena.

"But that thing is too fast. It must be a super powerful machine dragon."

According to the speed judged by artificial intelligence, the speed of this so-called god exceeds Mach 10, which is even faster than that of the machine dragon. Judging from the level of mechanical civilization, it may be much higher than the one Qiao Mu and the others encountered.

This makes people think about whether mechanical civilization still exists.

"Who knows, maybe when we can surpass it, we will know the answer."

Qianyun didn't care.

Because of the arrival of that thing, the clouds disappeared and the rain cleared, and the sun emerged from the clouds again, shining on the earth.

"At least, we know that it should fly between the troposphere and the stratosphere."

Although Qiao Mu is not very good at geography, he is familiar with concepts such as the stratosphere and troposphere from the Internet, especially after reading many cases of aerial disasters.

Cumulonimbus clouds are generally in the troposphere. When they reach the stratosphere, they are just like above the sea of ​​clouds in Nausicaa. There are almost no clouds, and there are no such changeable weather conditions.

Since everyone can see the trajectory of the giant beast in the sky from the ground, and its arrival will affect the clouds and weather, it is obvious that the altitude is between the stratosphere and the troposphere.

The premise is that the atmosphere of the school city is the same as that of the world where Qiao Mu lives. In this regard, Qiao Mu currently sees no difference.

"So what?"

Qianyun couldn't understand the stratosphere and troposphere, he could only understand that that thing flew relatively low.

"Judging from the visual size and distance, its size should not exceed the size of that town."

Qiao Mu said again.

"This size really doesn't look like a god."

“Does God have to be big?”

Qian Yun asked back.

"Big is beautiful, more is better."

Qiao Mu said firmly.

"What nonsense is this?"

Qianyun didn't know why.

"I saw it in the video."

Qiao Mu's eyes were clear, like a student who had just entered university.

At this time, the drone he sent seemed to have discovered something again and reported back the information.

"It seems like I found something again."

Without Xiao Ai's assistance, Qiao Mu could only roughly know that the drone had encountered something, but he didn't know exactly what it was.

"Let's go and have a look."

Qianyun acted immediately.

The two walked for a certain distance in the damp forest. Soon, they saw the boundary of the forest. There seemed to be a hole in front of them similar to the one where the Drag-Ride had fallen.

However, when walking through the dense forest and arriving at the border, it was not the case.

".Isn't this thing a bit out of place?"

Qiao Mu turned to look at Qianyun.

"No, its appearance confirms my thoughts."

Qianyun walked forward calmly.

In the town, Kiriyama raised his head and looked at the five-meter-tall rocket that might be the first rocket in the history of civilization in the academy.

Reconstructed from the core of the Drag-Ride, according to Aguang's calculations, this rocket theoretically has the ultimate performance close to the first cosmic speed, and can cruise at this speed for at least three minutes.

The gods who want to surpass the heavens seem to be very close at hand.

"strangeness."

However, when Wushan wanted to tell Qiao Mu and the others, he found that Xiao Ai's communication had been interfered with.

"Is it too far away?"

Kiriyama asked.

"Not sure, could be multiple reasons, distance, signal strength, interference, trying to reconnect."

The artificial intelligence answered on the phone in his palm.

"Why is something happening at this time?"

Kiriyama frowned.

In the distance, in the leaden clouds, burning flames were brewing, and the giant beast in the sky was heading towards the town, as always.

However, he probably never thought that the humans who had been looking up to him on the ground would one day create something that could rival him.

Just like humans walking by in a hurry, they never realize the actions of ants. Only one day, the ants crawling in the garden create a huge scarecrow, and the passers-by will stop and marvel.

"We can't contact them, do we still need to launch?"

Wushan looked at Aguang.

"Today is the best time. The moisture in the air can delay overheating. If you miss it, you may have to wait longer."

Aguang murmured.

The hazy sky at this moment is the most suitable weather for rockets to shuttle through.

"We have to launch, even if it fails, we can still get precious data."

He said seriously and firmly.

"Okay, nothing should happen to them anyway."

Kiriyama spread his hands. The two of them insisted that neither of them should die. Even if something went wrong, Kiriyama was beyond his reach and could not help him. It was better to focus on the task that could be completed in front of him. No matter what trouble they encountered, as long as the task was completed, Then you can finally get out of here.

"Ready to launch."

Aguang looked at Rocket.
