Chapter 36: Evil Light Escapes
During the days when he came to Wisdom City, Mengqi kept hearing people mention two terms: earth movement and natural disaster.
It is said that in the past, small disasters occurred almost every month, and major disasters occurred at least once every six months. However, it has been quiet for two months in a row, and there has been no sign of any anomaly in the city.
Ordinary citizens are happy about this, they think that the defense measures made by scientists for a long time have been effective, and the smart city has finally entered a period of stability, and there is no need to fear being subverted by terrible disasters, maybe in a few years, the strict protective shell on the top of the head can be removed, and the city will be exposed to real nature and enjoy the natural sunshine and rain.
The scientists did not dampen the optimism of the citizens with the truth, but they did not deceive themselves, like Nivanchi, who feared the tranquility of the mountains and rains, but like him, were helpless against the impending destruction of their homeland.
Mengqi finally realized how terrifying the scene of the earth shaking and shaking the mountains was when the disaster occurred.
This earthquake came more ferociously than ever. Buildings built with solid light do not collapse and crumble into rubble, but because they are lighter than masonry and have unstable foundations, they will flip and roll in the vibration.
In order to overcome the defect that the Guanghua building is not earthquake-resistant, the architects racked their brains to find a solution, and the most effective solution was to find the position of the central axis of the house through precise calculations when laying the foundation, and erect a strong reinforced steel column there.
Light cannot penetrate the opaque soil and disappear at a certain stage, but the central axis is made of real metal, which is difficult to remove even with mechanical force, so when an earthquake or hurricane occurs, the houses of residents will not be pushed away, but will rotate around the central axis in place.
Nivanki's status in the Wisdom City Authority is second only to Yorkoff's highest level, and with his level of scientist, the Authority awarded him the title deed and the key to the Infinite Egg Building, allowing him to live in the most luxurious and safest villa in the Wisdom City. The structure of this building is a little more complicated than the main building in the city, the Yuji Egg Building, where the residents live. There are four fixed points in the building, and a positioning steel column is installed at each point. The bigger advantage is that the steel pillars not only play a fixed role as a whole, but also can rise from the ground according to the needs of the owner, figuratively speaking, they can act as a landing bracket for the spaceship, and can also be folded, so that the Wuji Egg Tower can leave the place and become a light-speed spacecraft that carries the owner around.
The Nivanch family lived in the Wuji Egg Building for decades, and the old professor's son grew up here, married and had children, until he and his wife both died in the swamp area, and the old man never moved the egg building.
He likes to wake up every morning and see the lush flowers and plants outside the garden, and it is best to never change that view. He deeply missed his son and his wife, and was reluctant to leave his original place of residence.
In the past two years, Nifanch has felt that he is getting older and older, and his time is running out, so he is naturally even more reluctant to move his residence. Although several of his friends in the Authority had quietly reminded him that he had been studying unidentified particles for so long that it was hard to say that he had already called the bad guys hiding in the atmosphere to target him, and that it would be better to push the house elsewhere to give the enemy a cover-up, he could not make up his mind, even though he knew that such precautions were necessary.
Unexpectedly, when the morning came, the disaster of earth shaking came at the same time, Nivanqi watched Mengqi trapped in the laboratory and was unable to save him, and he regretted it very much in his heart, a second before he fell into a coma, he prayed sadly to the heavens: Let this child go home, he is innocent, I don't want to involve him in the disaster of Wisdom City for no reason!
Mengqi fell on the other side of the metal door, his mind was quite clear, but he couldn't get up. There had never been an earthquake in the swamp, but several elders had taught him that if he encountered an earthquake disaster one day, he fell into a confined space from which he could not escape, and the best way to escape was to find a triangle to hide in.
Usually an earthquake lasts only a few seconds, but then a lot of things collapse, and the triangle is the only area that can protect him from being crushed.
Mengqi remembered the teachings of his elders, and when he saw a small square table beside him, he quickly grabbed the table legs, rolled to the corner of the wall, and then tried his best to turn the square table upside down.
The triangle area is caused! The combination of the table top and the soft walls gave Mengqi room to hide in, and he was safe for the time being.
The process of dodging the collapsed object is long to say and quick to do, from danger to safety, Mengqi only took a moment's time. As he gasped for breath and lay down in the corner, he looked out with wide, frightened eyes.
"Oh my God!"
He couldn't help but scream loudly, and he couldn't wait to cover his eyes.
The scene is terrifying! The equipment that led the test in the laboratory was glass tubes, which were not synthesized with solid light, but real glass, in order to create a real operating environment for the light.
The glass was fragile, and after a huge earthquake, the layers of glass tubes that surrounded the walls were all shattered, and the sharp glass shards were scattered all over the ground.
Those seemingly dazzling, but in fact extremely evil lights, which were originally imprisoned and could only move in a narrow space, are now finally freed by the movement of the earth and permeate the entire laboratory.
What terrified Mengqi was not the freedom of the Evil Light, but what they did after they left the glass tube.
It turns out that they are truly living, thinking creatures, not ordinary lights. After freeing themselves from the restraints, the first thing they had to do was to retaliate, and thousands of stinging colored lights converged into a huge ball of light, rushing into the negative sentiment analysis room isolated by light glass, destroying all the test equipment that Nivanki had so worked so hard to build.
"You scoundrels, stop it, that's the professor's brainchild, don't touch it!" Mengqi was so anxious that he grabbed his chest with his two claws, and his chest drew blood marks on the sharp claw nails, but to no avail.
Destroyed the entire surveillance room, that thing still has a big thing to do, which is to release the same kind that is still locked in a glass bottle.
Unlike glass pipes, the glass bottle does not shuttle through the bottle, so the professor uses solid light materials to make them. Solid light doesn't shatter, so even if hundreds or thousands of bottles all fall on the hard marble floor, they just "bone" rolling around, colliding with each other, and none of them cracked.
However, when the Evil Light accomplices in the glass tube have destroyed the equipment they hated the most, it is the turn of the other to help their fellow citizens get free.
Mengqi witnessed an incredible scene in despair: the light, which is equivalent to the existence of nothingness, actually has the power to touch the real thing and release the power, causing substantial changes to the real thing!
The balls of light made of the evil light spread out again, and at this point they turned into thin bands of light. The light band wrapped around the mouth of the glass bottle, skillfully rotating in the direction of opening the bottle, and after a few trials, the caps of several bottles were unscrewed, and the evil light inside bounced happily, as if rushing out of the cage with an imperceptible whistling sound.
