Chapter 573 Death Star
The final work did not take too much time for the two of them. After all, most of the jigsaw puzzles have been spliced together. corresponding position. When the last vacant part was filled, a giant work that almost occupied the entire ground appeared before Allen's eyes.
Vera's brush strokes are black and white, and the works painted by these two monotonous but opposite colors give people a sense of death and desolation. And some black blocks that look like children's graffiti by themselves, but now they are put in this work, but it turns out to be a corner of the endless star universe. Allen opened his mouth slightly, and the masterpiece under his nose turned out to be a picture of the universe and starry sky.
This gigantic painting is taken from a top-down perspective. In the whole picture, those black parts fill the background of space. And some blank spaces that seemed meaningless before have now become stars shining in space. As for the protagonist of the painting, it is a planet.
This is a white planet, and Vera uses the original blank of the drawing paper as the main color of the planet. Using different depths of black shows that majestic mountains, running rivers, endless forests, and some complex canyons can be seen on the surface of the planet. But without exception, these deep and shallow details only occupy less than one-third of the entire planet's area.
From the huge blank space, what it brings to people is dead and barren, without any sense of vitality.
Judging from the extremely tough lines and realistic painting techniques used in the entire painting. Since Vera uses blank space to express in these places, it means that there is really nothing in the blank space on this planet. But neither Ellen nor Lucy can imagine what kind of environment it would be for Vera to use blank space to express. It was probably an endless barren plain, without mountains, forests, canyons, or rivers. There are only empty lands that have existed since ancient times, and judging from the area of the blank parts, this empty land may be so vast that people think it has no end.
This is a planet that smells of death.
There are countless planets like this in the universe, and they are generally dead stars after their energy is exhausted. In the end, it either explodes into a supernova, or the core collapses into a black hole. Alan and Lucy exchanged glances, neither knowing why Vera drew such a death star, and what does this death star have to do with Alan?
"Anyway, if you encounter such a planet in the future, you have to be careful. Didn't Vera say that whenever she has this strong feeling of foresight, usually the main character of the premonition will have a major event in the picture she sees?" Misfortune." Lucy said with some worry: "Perhaps something terrible will happen to you on this planet."
"Maybe, but the foresight doesn't necessarily mean it will happen. What Vera can see is just a wave of the river of fate, and the wave cannot represent the whole of the river.
"
Lucy shook her head and said, "But until now, none of Vera's predictions have come true. This is also the intuitive reason why she has become worshiped by thousands of believers. I don't think you should ignore her predictions too much."
Allen's gaze fell on the desolate Death Star, nodded and said, "I know, if one day, I encounter such a planet. I will be careful."
It was already night in a blink of an eye, and the night was dark tonight. The thick clouds that slowly filled the entire sky blocked the brilliance of the stars and the moon, and the night seemed to hang down to the ground, but the lights of the city below stubbornly illuminated the night sky. Even such a depressing night couldn't completely cover the brightly lit Storm City.
Allen left the city alone, and came to the mountain leading far away from Storm City. He climbed up a huge rock protruding from the mountainside, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the shining city with a slight smile, and then let out his own breath.
After a while, there was a sudden wind in the mountain collar. Amidst the roar of the wind, there was a strange sound of something scraping the ground. Another breath was coming towards Allen at a very fast speed. When it came very close, Allen turned around and saw two halos of yellow light in the dark forest behind him. Then a huge darkness rushed out of the mountain, and under the dense night, the shadow swam to the huge rock before stopping.
At this time, a gap opened in the clouds in the sky, and the moonlight took the opportunity to penetrate through the thick cotton-like clouds, and sprinkled a few silver beams of light towards the mountain forest. One of them landed not far from Alan, and threw it on the body of the huge monster, so Alan saw a section of snake thick as a bucket. And as the clouds surged, the moonlight gradually moved forward, and a huge head was clearly presented in Alan's eyes.
"White." Allen smiled and stretched out his hand, and the giant snake lowered its head, letting Allen's hands touch its head.
Bai's body, which he hadn't seen for a long time, was thick again, and the single horn on his head was as thick as an arm, and the bat-like fins spread out on both sides were slowly flapping up and down. Today's Bai already has the power and power that a king snake should have, especially those two big golden eyes, which are like fine golden pine amber, with circles of silver patterns lingering inside, full of nobility and mystery a feeling of.
When Allen let go of it, Bai shrank his head. Opening his mouth, Bai spit out the red letter and licked it on Alan's face, so Alan's face was wet with Bai's saliva. He smiled bitterly and said, "Bai, I'm going back to Earth. Before that, I have something to give you."
The intelligence of the young king snake is no longer below that of an adult human being. Although he cannot speak human words, Kebai can understand what Allen said. It tilted its head, watching Alan curiously take out a blue vial from his pocket. The material of the bottle seemed to be jade. When Allen opened it, a strong blood rushed out of it. Bai suddenly raised his head, his eyes were shining golden. White smoke spewed from its two nostrils, and it could be seen that it was very excited. Although Bai didn't know what was in the bottle, he instinctively felt that it was of great benefit to him.
"The Blood Essence of Beasts." Allen shook the bottle and said, "I heard that it can give a life like you a chance to evolve. I think it should be useful to you."
At this time, Bai actually nodded like a human being, his eyes full of solemnity. Allen smiled and said, "It's yours now, but it can't be used yet."
Throwing the jade bottle, Bai opened his mouth to catch it, and swallowed it into his stomach. Allen turned around and pointed in a certain direction in the vast night: "Go there, Bai! That's a suitable place for you, where you can complete your transformation. Just wait for me there, and when I come back, I will take you to A wider world!"
The direction Allen was pointing at was the barren highlands, and Bai looked in that direction, narrowing his eyes slightly. The King Snake's keen sense told it that there were several particularly tyrannical auras there. And these breaths are extremely delicious to it. Coupled with the bottle of beast blood essence kept in his stomach, Bai knew that the time for his first transformation was very close.
Two days later, a convoy left Storm City and headed towards Sur City.
Allen was in the convoy, and he brought hundreds of kilograms of Thames silver with him. On Earth or Idaho, Themis Silver is priced in grams. The output of the silver mine in Storm City is mediocre, but if there are Themes silver veins here, then there must be such veins in other places on Paradise Star. As Allen's territory expanded, when more veins fell into his hands, the profits brought by Themes Silver alone were enough to make people crazy.
What's more, with the rich resources of Paradise Star, it is hard to guarantee that there are other rare mineral deposits in the universe on this planet. And even if not, it would be a fortune for Allen if he controlled some gold mines, silver mines, and precious metals.
Wealth can be transformed into combat power, and combat power is a powerful guarantee for territorial expansion. When the trade chain between the planets is formed and consolidated, Allen will be able to establish a virtuous cycle from territorial expansion, wealth accumulation, and transformation of combat power, so as to ensure the strategic goal of finally laying down the entire colonial planet.
Of course, in order to conquer a planet at the level of the Tiandang Star, Allen felt that he had to advance to at least the level of a ruler before he could do so. After all, after advancing to the rank of Dominator, the life form undergoes an important transformation. The most intuitive benefit brought to him by this kind of transformation is to break the limit of human life, thus prolonging the length of life to a large extent. And a longer life is the cornerstone of the Outland Expedition.
In the convoy, there are also two daughters, Lucy and Adele, as well as Regis and Belmode. They will return to Earth with Allen. As for Lin Si and his technical backbone, they will be mainly responsible for the transformation of Sur City. Allen thought to himself, maybe when he returned from Earth, his starship would no longer need to land on the Aspen Mountains.
All the way without words.
A few days later, the city of Sur was in sight. This city is an important turning point on Allen's expedition to the stars. Here, Allen successfully integrated into the civilization of Heaven Star. It is also in this city that Allen obtained the first cornerstone of territorial expansion. Allen was very fortunate that he did not land in the Shadow Principality full of alien species, otherwise, the expedition would not have been as smooth as it is now.
In his emotional gaze, the city of Suer kept approaching, and finally, they entered the city. Walking on the streets of Sur City, Allen really felt how desolate and empty a city is after losing the role of human beings. With the development and completion of Edward's city relocation plan, there is only an empty city left in Sur City. There are only less than a hundred defenders left in the city. Of course, with the implementation of the base renovation plan in the near future, more workers will flood into the city.
But that was after Allen left.
As for now, what Allen saw was a desolate city, and the wind passed through the empty doors and windows, sending out lonely echoes.
