Volume 3: Dance of the Aurora Chapter 35: Dance of the Aurora
"If you're sleepy, you can take a nap. I'll call you when the time comes."
"No need. I'm very energetic now and can't sleep at all."
Now a small halo has appeared in the sky above the eastern sea, opening a small gap in the curtain of darkness.
Fang Cheng picked up a small piece of gravel from the shore, found a comfortable-looking position, sat cross-legged, and drew patterns aimlessly on the gravel ground in front of him.
His brain was working rapidly at this moment, and the movements of his hands were subconscious.
Even if I completely eliminated the protozoan, how would I deal with the remaining mess? Where would I go to find my relatives? How would I explain what happened to the people around me?
Most stories about kingly ways end with a happy ending. The process of establishing a new order after the disaster is glossed over, and in the end everyone lives happily together naturally.
If only it were that simple.
He was in a state of confusion for a while, and when he came to his senses, he found that he had casually written three Chinese characters on the ground.
Well, that's her name after all.
He stood up, dusted off his butt, swept away the three words with his foot, and then threw the small stone in his hand into the sea.
The rock created a small splash of water and was then swallowed up by the rolling waves.
Fang Cheng did not see the splash of water. His attention was completely attracted by the black shadows dotted with fluorescent light on the horizon.
"Here it comes! Is it going to take off?"
"Okay, although it's still a little early. Wouldn't you feel scared if you were farther from the surface?"
"It's okay, take off now!"
Unlike before, Fang Cheng felt a huge upward force under his feet pulling his body up. He suddenly lost his balance and fell forward. When his face was about to hit the ground, he was supported by an invisible force.
He flew up into the sky with his four limbs facing the ground. The scene was a bit like an upside-down skydiving. After a few seconds, he realized that the prone position did indeed reduce the fear in his heart.
At this moment, the silver-white dawn light on the sea has turned into a blood-red color. The lightsaber of dawn swept across the night sky, the remaining stars gradually went out, and the ocean whispered as it woke up from the mist.
The distant waves are like red scales, and the green mist opens like a golden plate.
And the colorful band of light also lost the contrast of the night and became less clear.
"Should we wait for it to come over? Can't we just go over there?"
"It's all right. Are you ready?"
Fang Cheng had already grasped the electromagnet in his right hand at this time. The metal plate was now covered with sweat from his palms, becoming wet and sticky.
"Do we need to wait until our current position is facing the sun before attacking?"
"No need. This magnetic field is strong enough. It's easy to draw all the particle flow here."
"Then let's do as we just agreed. We fly over it, drop the lens, and then remotely activate it?"
"Yes, I will obey your instructions completely."
"Then let's go now!"
After such a long time from the night before yesterday until now, Fang Cheng is already exhausted both physically and mentally, and he doesn't want to wait any longer.
He flew rapidly towards the location of the original body with his back to the sun, slowly descending as he approached. The complex textures and twisting tentacles on the monster's body in the center of his field of vision became clearer and clearer.
3000 meters, 1500 meters, 700 meters, 300 meters, 150 meters, 80 meters...
"Throw it."
He used up all his remaining strength to throw the discus towards the center of his sight. The discus drew a gentle arc in the sky and was caught by the monster's tentacles before landing.
"Do you want to activate the magnetic field now?"
"I suggest you stay away."
Fang Cheng felt a huge acceleration all over his body, much stronger than the force he felt when taking off in a plane. He quickly passed the black shadow in front of him and rushed forward along a straight line parallel to the sea surface.
"Is it okay now?"
"It's OK, but it can be further away..."
"Let's get started!"
At noon on May 9, people in America saw several bright red halos suddenly appear in the sky. The halos were arranged in several oblique lines along the east-west direction, and their brightness was no less than the scorching sun at noon.
Those are the claw marks left by the solar wind tearing through the atmosphere.
As soon as Fang Cheng finished speaking, he saw a sudden whiteness in front of his eyes. He was startled by the sudden dazzling light, but he couldn't help but look towards the place where the lens was thrown.
"The light of heaven and earth is as brilliant as the power of the Holy Spirit. Only a thousand suns can rival its brilliance."
If T800 hadn't filtered out 90% of visible light, Fang Cheng would have been blind.
The white light that filled the space lasted for a few seconds before gradually dimming . Then a blue-purple halo burst out from the center of the previous white light, instantly dyeing the entire sky.
The blue light curled and tumbled in the air into large and small rings, which nested and twisted together, entangled and spread toward both sides of the Pacific Ocean.
Fang Cheng stared at the scene in front of him in amazement, and then he felt an extremely violent shaking. The sudden and fierce shock hit his semicircular canals, and he almost vomited all over the floor.
Previously, the flight of the surface ring was very, very smooth, without even the slightest bump.
"Cough! Cough! Ugh..."
"These are all turbulences, and the oscillations they cause cannot be avoided by adjusting the attitude."
The photos of Jupiter he had seen before emerged in Fang Cheng's mind . The shape of the halo in the sky at this moment was very similar to the large and small eyes on the surface of the giant planet. He vaguely remembered that Teacher Jie said that those eyes were the turbulence caused by the rotation of Jupiter's tropospheric atmosphere.
Following the turbulence came lightning that covered the entire sky. The high-speed squeezing of the atmosphere tore apart the electric charge that had become uneven due to the cloudy sky. The powerful electric field penetrated the air at all scales at the same time, forming a dense network of lightning in the sky.
The dreamlike scenery before his eyes was extremely beautiful, yet extremely terrifying. The shock it brought was transmitted to Fang Cheng's brain through the optic nerve, causing him to temporarily lose the ability to speak.
Although they were trying their best to get away from the center of the solar storm, their speed was still not as fast as the spread of turbulence. Fang Cheng saw the luminous air rolling violently above his head, and the self-similar fractal pattern filled the entire sky and illuminated the vast ocean below.
The water surface that was shrouded in morning mist just now is now covered with tiny bright blue spots. Stimulated by the super strong airflow, huge waves tens of meters high surged on the sea surface, and the small island where Fang Cheng was standing before has been completely swallowed up.
Fortunately, this beam of solar wind did not hit the sea surface directly. If it did, the shallow sea water would evaporate violently, and the resulting height difference would cause all the Pacific coasts to suffer severe tsunamis.
Thinking of this, Fang Cheng glanced at the place where the original body was before. Now there was only a rolling sea water there, and there was no trace of the monster at all.
Ah, no way, I was struggling for so long, and ended up being killed in one blow?
