56, Light Continent

After arriving at the destination, the seat belts on the passengers automatically retreated, and the hatch of the optical flow shuttle automatically opened, Cao Fang got out like a light cat, and then stretched out his hand to Shen Yun and said, "Cinderella in a crystal slipper, please get off the car, the dance party is about to start." ”

This person's ability to adapt to the world of ordinary people is not weak! As soon as he made a joke about him, Shen Yun's cheeks turned crimson again.

Finally arrived at the entrance of the Light Continent!

Walking out of the shuttle, as Shen Yun expected, this is a sea of light. But if it is changed to the ground, the person who is illuminated by the strong light will be extremely uncomfortable, but here it is different, the light that penetrates the eye is like the relationship between air and breathing, not only exists naturally, as if it is indispensable, giving people the illusion that if there is no light, there can be no life, and only in the sea of light, life will become stronger.

Feeling the softness and warmth of the sea of light, Shen Yun imagined herself as a happy fish, about to swim towards the depths of the bright sea, in that fairy tale kingdom, her father was looking forward to her arrival.

After completely adapting to the different environment from the ground, Shen Yun was able to see the surrounding scenery clearly. The first thing that caught their eye was a long wall of white light, and they were standing in front of the sentry post that passed through it.

There is a sentry box on the right side of the sentry post, which is dark green throughout, like a whole glittering dripping jadeite, but the center of the jade is hollowed out, leaving room for activities and becoming a small house that can accommodate two people at the same time.

At the entrance, two armed soldiers stood on the left and right, with solemn expressions and upright postures, as if they were two statues that could not even turn their eyes. Seeing Cao Fang coming, they changed their posture, "snapped" and put them together, and at the same time the spears were thrown behind their backs, each raised their hands to salute the standard military salute, and said in unison: "Salute!" Say hello to the Commander! ”

Cao Fang nodded, symbolically put his hand to his ear and saluted, then turned to Shen Yun, pointed to a small instrument panel erected at the entrance of the passage and said: "This is the photon identification system, from officers to soldiers, anyone must pass this verification before officially entering the Light Continent, otherwise they will be turned away." ”

Shen Yun took a closer look, there was no password input template or fingerprint reader on the instrument, nor could it find facial recognition or iris part, it looked like a black brick, the only thing that stood special was the gloss, and a round hole at the top. She was secretly wondering when she saw Cao Fang reach out and press the national flag badge on his left chest, and lightly touched it.

Suddenly, a beam of red light shot towards the black meter, which should have activated the laser induction system hidden in it, and an electronic pop-up window the size of a palm ejected out, and the content displayed by the pop-up window was Cao Fang's photo, gender, officer number, and military rank. It only took one second to identify, and the round hole kept emitting a green light strobe, indicating that he had successfully passed the level and could enter.

Next it was Shen Yun's turn, her identity was recognized by the system as a "visitor", and Cao Fang said that as soon as she entered the camp, she would be assigned a suitable identity, and she would be a member of the group in the future. Such a promise made Shen Yun feel cramped, thinking that if it weren't for her father, it is estimated that she would not even be a soldier of the Space Force, would this be regarded as a back door?

After passing the sentry, you will officially enter the city. Walking through the narrow corridor one meter wide, it suddenly became clear that the two of them were standing at the beginning of a street. Shen Yun was surprised to see that this place was full of metropolis style.

Compared with the real city on the ground, the light continent looks like a mirage in the light at first glance, and there are clouds of white fog floating in the air from time to time, which should be because some heat sources emit water vapor and do not condense into a solid state in time.

As soon as she looked up, Shen Yun screamed in surprise, it turned out that she saw a blue street sign erected on the side of the road, with the words "Wangfujing Avenue" written on it.

Cao Fang smiled: "There is no need to be so surprised, the place we are standing on is the Light Continent under China, and in order to give future immigrants a sense of home, most of the place names are set according to the original names on the ground." If you've been wandering around the city, you might even come across some of the city's most iconic street names, such as Binjiang Avenue or East Nanjing Road. ”

It is true that place names are determined by people, and Shen Yun was very moved that the first generation of residents of the Continent of Light could think so thoughtfully and long-term. Compared with the architectural style here, Shen Yun really didn't need to be surprised by the words "Wangfujing", because compared with the buildings built on the Light Continent, compared with the buildings on the ground, it surpassed more than just an era, it almost immediately stretched the human imagination from reality to the unreachable outer space civilization.

Although Shen Yun is full of commercial buildings, the scientific and technological content they embody is unimaginable even for those experienced and skilled architects on the ground.

The shortest building in the commercial district has more than 30 floors, and the tallest is like a white sail erected on a medieval sea ship, which makes people feel that the shadow of the sail covering the sky is illusionary, and the building is at least a kilometer high. The most amazing thing is that people standing on the street can see the whole picture without difficulty, so that no matter how high the building is built, there is no sense of oppression, and all the design elements appear natural and elegant here, as if they were not artificial, but natural.

The reason for this is that the sense of light perspective still plays a non-negligible role in creating this panoramic effect. In this city of light, even if the distance between the buildings is the same as the ground, it is visually elongated by at least two times, and all the building forms are elliptical to match the fantasy of the flow of light, which avoids the congestion and bulkiness of the ground buildings.

The streets on the ground are wide, but the traffic is all in the air. The suspended light tracks are set up like octopuses in all directions, and although there are no trams passing through, the fluorescence that occasionally passes by the edge of the light track is like a meteor, which is intriguing.

"This is the second world of human beings on Earth, which seems to exist parallel to mine, but there can never be a meeting point. Did Qu Zhaodi's phone call pull me out of my lonely dream into reality, or did it help me hide from reality into an illusory dream? Shen Yun asked herself quietly.

The street tiles also belong to the synthesis of light, but there is a sense of solidity when stepping on the soles of the feet, which is no different from stepping on the red brick avenue of Wangfujing. Shen Yun understands that all the touches actually come from the medium of military uniforms, but the medium does not cause any sense of blockage, and she does not feel any inconvenience.

Cao Fang took out a small rectangular communication device from his pocket, in the eyes of the "ground people", similar devices should be called "mobile phones", and the people there basically don't use flip phones now, Cao Fang took a rectangular sheet, but it can still bounce up a layer when he presses the side button. However, when he continued to operate, Shen Yun's eyes were a little straight, because such a thin communicator could not only turn over one layer, Cao Fangru used a portable notepad to turn over the display screen three layers, and then looked at it intently.

This mobile phone is by no means the same mobile phone, and the functions it contains must be countless times more powerful than those used by people on the ground! Shen Yun was convinced.

"The current time in the world of light is five o'clock in the morning, and you can see the sunrise in no time." Cao Fang said.
