Luo Binhan rubbed his eyes.
"Are you feeling sleepy?" asked ∈. "Need something to refresh you?"
Luo Binhan really felt that he needed it. It had been a while since he had read something so long and complex. But when ∈ wanted to give him “something new and exciting,” he conservatively chose to get a regular candy drink. He leaned against the bed to rest, and ∈ began to play a wrap-around video: an emerald green and transparent sphere floated against the colorful aurora-like background. When the camera zoomed in close enough, Luo Binhan found that it seemed to be someone A planet with a glassy surface.
"Look, this is the Kingdom of Light." ∈ leaned on the pillow next to him and said, "One of their earliest territories. But other places look similar. Shining, smooth, and green, do you think it looks good like this? Is it? I think it’s a bit monotonous anyway.”
"It's okay." Luo Binhan stared at the screen and said, "Is this place a natural one?"
"Oh, of course not. They burned it themselves."
∈'s words reminded Luo Binhan of Ma Lin's hometown. He moved his arms and asked, "Why are they doing that? Are they fighting?"
"No, no, no, it's obvious that they did it voluntarily. Before they became what they are now, they heated the planet where they originated to form a vitrified environment. There was no mud, no sand, and no most air particles. The surface is all perfect glass, which is said to allow multi-level surface reflection to enhance the plasma spark tower effect. They used to do it really well. There is a whole system of research on the laws of physics, theory of engineering, infinite geology The framework... Anyway, it's what the alliance is doing now. Their tempers are similar to those in Chonghong Township, cold and diplomatic, worshiping perfection, and I'm sure they have severe mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. You think so, right? They Once you get the energy source, you won’t even want an extra blade of grass.”
Luo Binhan could not connect the description of ∈ with Momolo or Upsilon. And when he questioned it, ∈ just kept slapping his mouth and making a gurgling bubble sound.
"You will definitely be in trouble the way you look now." ∈ said, "But they were not so bright before. They were a standard first-class civilization at that time, do you understand?"
It patted the air between itself and Luo Binhan, and the image of a stack of books thirty centimeters thick appeared there.
"What is this?" Luo Binhan asked.
"The ancient history of the Kingdom of Light." ∈ introduced proudly, "From the Pansapien era before the establishment of the Alliance to the Year of Light when they rejoined the Alliance. All the information you can find online is here. Of course, Most of them can only be found in the columns of the White Tower, because they are the only ones who study laws and regulations all day long."
Luo Binhan looked at the pile of virtual books and began to seriously think about whether it was really worth it. He doesn't mind learning more about Momolo's origins, but in the final analysis, his purpose is just to find the missing Upsilon, not to become an expert on the history of the Yongguang Clan.
He only fought with his thoughts for more than ten seconds, and his deep-rooted prejudice against learning took over the high ground, so he cleared his throat and prepared to ask ∈ to leave his bed and room. Before he could speak, ∈ had already floated up from the bed with full anticipation.
"Slow down, slow down, slow down," he said, "Don't be so lazy, okay? You are the most idle and talkative person on this ship. You should study! Work hard! Otherwise, who should I harass? ? I have to find a way to keep the information flow changing, right? But what is going on? Don’t you have any desire to gain new knowledge? Can’t this bring you a little pure happiness? "
Luo Binhan nodded perfunctorily and said: "It will happen. It will happen in the next life."
He still planned to invite ∈ out of his sacred realm, which forced ∈ to make certain concessions. The latter began to persuade Luo Binhan, saying that he could organize the information into a simplified version and then provide only the relatively important part. He also emphasized that there must be content that Luo Binhan is interested in. If he misses it, Luo Binhan will regret it for the rest of his life.
That might just be a bait, but Luo Binhan couldn't deny that he was a little shaken. In the end, he failed to drive ∈ away, but reluctantly agreed to ∈’s proposal. That concession was disastrous. He watched helplessly as ∈ snapped his fingers, and the entire room was instantly swallowed up by the flow of light. The excessively bright white light almost blinded his eyes, and it was also mixed with the rich, solemn and affectionate background commentary.
"The first stage is the age of man." ∈ rumbled with triple echoes. "The original planet surface was treated with high heat and became a unified and stable glassy substance. On this perfect artificial earth, the rulers of the planet Conducting research on whatever they cared about. They occasionally communicated with outside forces, but never really got involved."
∈Floating up and down in the white light, there are a dozen beautiful and transparent spheres like emeralds wrapped around the fingertips. And his head turned into a burning sun, radiating fiery brightness to the outside. His voice still came from within the sun.
"The second stage is the Year of Change. When everything seems to be going smoothly and naturally, in all areas controlled by the Kingdom of Light, stars suddenly begin to rapidly age and extinguish, skipping the expansion stage and directly collapsing into black holes. This sudden change The phenomenon forced them to accelerate their research on Abyssal Engineering and develop an energy system to replace stars - the plasma spark tower. Until the spark tower effect covers the entire Eternal Light Realm, stars no longer become a necessary resource."
∈'s head went out and turned into a dark void. His hair floated up, each hair extended outwards, sparkling with countless star-like sparks. At this time, Luo Binhan had recovered a little more than before. He squinted his eyes dimly with tears, watching the sparks jumping back and forth in his hair.
"Then came the years of great calamity and everlasting darkness. When the threat of star death faded away, the rulers of the Eternal Light Realm discovered that the plasma spark tower had undergone incredible mutations, which plunged all the irradiated residents into an irreversible situation. The regularization process. The technology of the past was unable to save them, and asking for external help never appeared in their thinking mode. The huge disaster caused the residents in Yongguang to die on a large scale, and the last survivors concentrated in the light. Within the country, they began to use the only conventional side-plantation technology they had tried in the past. They stayed quietly in their homeland, slowly losing their past, wisdom, knowledge, glory, reserve... those who perished under the endless illumination of the Spark Tower. The planet is still glorious, while the era slides into darkness and death."
∈'s voice gradually became lower. The light in the room also disappeared. Not only was it the light and shadow effects added by ∈, Luo Binhan also discovered that he had controlled the lighting system in his room at some point and made them go out together. The gloomy environment and sad background music made Luo Binhan relax his vigilance. He let go of the hand covering his eyes, and the next second he felt an unprecedented light crack open above his head. It was just like the thunderbolt that Jing Huang struck at the Rubik's Cube spaceship, from his Tianling Cap to the soles of his feet.
"Finally! In the long, desperate, and quiet radiation of the Spark Tower, the Fire Thief led the newly formed alliance to excavate and inspect the ruins of the Eternal Light Realm. They concluded that the civilization here had been destroyed, and that there could be rumors in the depths of the Solidification Nebula. A weak distress signal came. What could it be? What could it be? The fire thieves brought in the starship with the highest power output at that time! They blew it up, chiseled it, and then many light bulbs popped out of it. Eyes! Those lightbulb eyes flew around, saying that they heard the voice of light and felt hope and love in the seemingly eternal darkness and despair. At that moment, they understood the new form of their lives and decided their new path. , and will go on for it forever. The fire thief was surrounded by light bulb eyes flying around. While he was surrounded, he wrote a report to the alliance. He wrote the light bulb eyes as the Eternal Light Clan - that is the beginning of the Year of Light !”
∈'s face was filled with the radiance of a holy statue. Behind him, there are real five-color light belts rotating in turns, and the whole room is filled with aurora clouds and green planets floating in them. In the majestic and high-pitched music, ∈ stretched out his arms and said loudly: "So what I bring to you today is the story of the Yongguang Clan. So what is going on with the Yongguang Clan? Do you understand it now?"
Luo Binhan covered his eyes with his hands and did not answer for a long time.
"My friend over there, are you touched?" asked ∈ passionately, "Feel the light? Feel the love? Feel the miraculous power of this fateful encounter?"
Luo Binhan took a deep breath and slowly and desperately lowered his hands that were covering his eyes.
"Turn out the lights!" he shouted hysterically.
