The first volume sets sail Chapter 6 The Day Earth Sets Sail
First flight in outer space.
After leaving the space station, the pitch-black void all around gave Lin Xu great psychological pressure.
Fortunately, Miss Qiu was following behind him.
This relieved him a lot of psychological discomfort.
Miss Qiu did not take a space fighter. Instead, like Lin Xu, she wore a set of power armor that fit her body well, following behind Lin Xu and flying in the dark universe.
This made Lin Xu a little embarrassed. He initially thought that Miss Qiu could only ride in aerospace fighters, but who knew that Miss Qiu already had a power armor module in her body.
As the companion bionic person to Lin Xu, the only human , all of Miss Qiu’s functions are built to the highest configuration.
Because bionic people are half biological and half mechanical, the mechanical part of Miss Qiu's body was made at great expense. It is aggregated from nanorobots and can be flexibly transformed into various forms under Miss Qiu's control.
Power armor is one of them, but Lin Xu didn’t know it at all before.
Lin Xu controls the nano-powered armor, which is powered by nuclear fuel cells. The plasma thrusters on his feet eject plasma to propel himself towards the Earth's atmosphere.
At the same time, behind Lin Xu, on the originally smooth back of the power armor, nano-metal surged, generating a row of plasma thrusters, helping Lin Xu fly towards the Earth's atmosphere at a faster speed.
Soon, Lin Xu entered the outermost layer of the atmosphere, the exosphere.
While flying, the power armor also begins to capture the meager oxygen in the exosphere to replenish the consumption of compressed oxygen inside the armor.
In this way, Lin Xu passed through the exosphere and then the ionosphere, getting closer and closer to the surface of the earth.
The scenery before my eyes became more and more magnificent.
The golden sunlight spread over the sea of clouds, carving out all kinds of strange shapes of clouds, like mountains, like waterfalls, and all kinds of bizarre shapes.
It's like another world above the clouds.
Finally, Lin Xu faced the sunshine and saw the sea, mountains, jungle and everything else below.
At this point, Lin Xu finally stopped diving downwards, but stood up in the air, spraying plasma downwards with his feet. He just floated in the air, observing this earth that was both familiar and somewhat strange.
Then, he saw it.
He saw the sea was extremely calm with almost no tide.
He saw the disturbance of climate between the mountains and the plains.
And all this is because the moon is moving away.
During the twenty years that Lin Xu was in hibernation, the moon had already completely moved away from the earth and entered the orbit of Mars.
As a result, the earth is undergoing the changes that are happening before our eyes.
After a long time, Lin Xu sighed.
Changing direction slightly, Lin Xu flew towards the continental shelf in the northern hemisphere.
Because only the Eurasian continent and the American continent in the northern hemisphere can withstand the huge thrust of the engine, all planetary engines except for the steering engines orbiting the equator are built in the northern hemisphere.
Soon, a series of planetary engines that were far larger than Mount Everest and had been basically completed, with only the final cap missing, appeared in Lin Xu's sight.
On the huge aerospace transport ship that covered the sky were carrying planetary engine parts from factories on various planets in the solar system. Autonomous machines were busy between the aerospace transport ship and the planetary engines, installing various prefabricated parts in place.
The entire northern hemisphere, tens of thousands of planetary engines, and the huge aerospace transport ships running back and forth, formed a vast industrial picture. Lin Xu just watched all this from a distance, and an excited emotion echoed in his heart.
Lin Xu took Miss Qiu and slowly landed on the plain near the Qinling Mountains.
This place is located near the Qinling ecosystem selected by Lin Xu. An ecological dome covering an area of ten kilometers will shield this area so that even when the earth sails in the universe in the future, the original ecology can still be maintained here.
Compared with the huge ecological dome and the even larger planetary engine, Mount Hua in the distance looks like a dwarf and has lost its sense of steepness at all.
The power armor on Lin Xu's body was nano-transformed into ordinary casual clothes, and he was walking at the foot of Mount Hua.
Miss Qiu followed behind him without saying a word.
Because the moon leaves, the speed of the earth's rotation increases.
Today, a day on Earth is only about 22 hours long.
Soon night fell and without the moon, the whole earth was pitch black, with no sight of one’s hand in front of one’s face.
However, when you look up at the sky, the starry sky appears exceptionally bright and brilliant.
Lasting and unchanging.
One month later, Qinling Mountains.
On top of a mountain covered with lush trees, next to a waterfall, there is a two-story wooden house built on the edge of a cliff.
This wooden house looks antique. The balcony on the second floor faces the cliff, and you can see the mountains, flowing water, and clouds and mist below the cliff.
Lin Xu was sitting on the balcony of the wooden house, but his eyes were not looking at the scenery below the cliff, but looking up at the sky.
The biodome is closing there.
A large number of autonomous machines are installing prefabricated parts on the pillars that wind upward around the ecological dome like building blocks. Soon the ecological dome will be completed.
By then, this piece of landscape will still be preserved after the earth stops rotating and sails away.
The mountains and flowing water below are the beauty of nature.
The steel and machinery galloping in the sky represent the beauty of large-scale industry.
At this moment, the two reached a special kind of tacit understanding, and even Lin Xu was amazed.
In the distance, you can see planetary engines that are tens of thousands of meters high. They are ready to go, waiting for Lin Xu 's orders.
All 100,000 planetary engines on the entire earth have been built, with only a few finishing touches remaining.
According to the reports from Taiyin, Yinghuo and Qiming, in another hour, Lin Xu would be able to order the collective ignition of 100,000 planetary engines.
Miss Qiu carried a bowl of freshly made pudding and walked up the wooden steps to the second-floor balcony.
He placed the pudding on the wooden table next to Lin Xu, and then stood behind Lin Xu as usual.
Lin Xu has lived here for a month.
Over the past month, he has been able to cultivate his character.
Every day he would sit on the balcony and watch the new animation series that came out after he went into hibernation ten thousand years ago.
Or stay in your room and play a brand new game that was created thousands of years ago.
In addition, Miss Qiu took care of my daily life throughout.
In short, life is quite enjoyable.
It can be said that he has realized his ideal of lying down.
It was a bit tiring to always look up, so Lin Xu stopped looking at the ecological dome that was about to be completed and continued to watch the anime on the tablet on his lap. At the same time, he took the pudding that Miss Qiu brought and took a bite of it.
Until Taiyin's voice came from an old radio that looked like a decoration on the table.
"Human Lin Xu, everything is ready, the planetary engine can be ignited at any time."
"Is it done?" Lin Xu was stunned.
At this moment, Lin Xu's mood was a little complicated.
Looking up at the sky, he saw that the ecological dome of the Qinling ecosystem had been completely capped, and the originally busy autonomous machines had withdrawn without him noticing.
"Then light the fire."
In an instant, the entire northern hemisphere of the earth, including the steering engines surrounding the equator, ignited simultaneously.
A huge column of blue light shot straight into the sky.
From Lin Xu's angle, it looked like countless blue spears were pointing to the sky.
The Earth is setting sail.
