Wandering Meteor-Chapter 104: The Transformation of Fields and Seas

Wandering for thirty-one years.

On this day, the weather on Earth was clear and breezy, with bright and beautiful sunlight.

A certain school on Earth organized a day tour for all of its elementary students.

Because this day marked the end of Earth’s wandering and was also the day the life community (Wandering Alliance) was established, it held extraordinary significance.

In fact, not only schools, but this day was also declared a legal holiday by Earth Civilization, so many Earth People would take this opportunity to visit historical relics left from the past to commemorate the day Earth and Earth Civilization were reborn.

On this morning.

All teachers and students first gathered in the school, went through a solemn speech by the principal, and then the school teachers led the students to embark on their day tour.

They boarded the maglev school bus outside the school gate and flew to the first stop of the tour.

The maglev school bus flew smoothly in the air, the new and splendid skyscrapers swiftly receded backward, and the occasional blips that zipped by were very fast-hovering crafts. Because Earth Civilization had enacted flight regulations, only hovering vehicles were encountered at this altitude. Looking down from the school bus, one could see well-planned architectures and streets, fresh green belts, and cars flowing like water on the spacious avenues.

Every view fully demonstrated the progress and achievements of Earth Civilization after becoming a second-level civilization.

However, although Earth Civilization had become a second-level civilization, because it had not been long, society still primarily relied on hydrogen nuclear fusion for energy, and annihilation technology was temporarily used only in critical areas.

Since the cost of producing antimatter is higher than extracting the hydrogen element, nuclear fusion will remain the mainstream energy in society until the cost of annihilation technology is reduced. Both nuclear fusion and annihilation are pollution-free energy technologies that do not cause any damage to the Earth’s environment.

After an hour of flying, the hovering school bus stopped above an abandoned quarry.

The leading teacher explained to the elementary students that this was the first stop of their tour - the Underground City!

After Earth Civilization completed the urban development above ground, all Earth People moved from the Underground City to live above ground, naturally abandoning the Underground City. Earth Civilization preserved it, regularly cleaning and maintaining it for public visits.

At that moment, a young girl curiously asked what the surrounding quarry was.

The leading teacher explained that it was a quarry from the wandering era, primarily used for collecting stones to provide energy for Earth’s wandering.

After explaining, the teacher led the students to the front of a well ladder.

The well ladder is a high-speed elevator from the wandering era that connected the Underground City with the surface. It’s now referred to as a "well ladder" because it resembles a slowly ascending and descending lift in a deep well.

Descending five thousand meters underground in the well ladder, the ancient, oppressive, and dim Underground City finally appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The elementary students could hardly imagine how their ancestors lived in such an oppressive and dim place for endless years; they estimated they couldn’t stay even for a day.

Fortunately, they were just here for a visit.

During the tour of the Underground City, the leading teacher acted like a tour guide, introducing special items they encountered, and patiently explained each one if the students had questions.

Among these, the most frequently explained by the teacher was the construction of the Underground City.

At that time, to build the Planet Engine, Earth Civilization made huge sacrifices. They had considered the enormous thrust produced by the Planet Engine that would cause surface collapse and earthquakes, so to avoid this problem, Earth Civilization first carried out a surface strengthening project at the construction base before starting to build the Planet Engine.

This, Constant Star Lu Chen had already learned from Earth Civilization when he assisted Earth in entering its orbital path.

Lu Chen also asked many questions about Earth after it entered the Wandering Era and even had the Wandering ask about his former wife in a very discreet manner.

Unfortunately, the era was too long ago, and his wife wasn’t a notable figure, so there are no records passed down about her, and no one knows the situation back then.

Lu Chen had anticipated this and was not surprised; he was just curious and wanted to ask, but since there are no records, he has let go of the past and doesn’t cling to it anymore.

After visiting the Underground City.

The teacher took the elementary students back to the surface.

Next, they were going to visit the second stop of the tour—the Planet Engine.

Like the Underground City, the Planet Engine had also become a sightseeing spot since related plans had already ceased.

The teacher and students took a hover school bus to the base of the Planet Engine and switched to a ring mountain sightseeing vehicle. They drove along the ring road built around the Planet Engine, spiraling towards the summit.

Since there weren’t many restrictions on visiting the Planet Engine, as they rode the sightseeing vehicle upwards, the elementary students saw many people hiking and even some setting up tents on the roadside to rest for the night. They planned to watch the sunrise over the sea of clouds the next morning before continuing their hike.

The students were puzzled by this, wondering if these people were so poor that they needed to hike? Should they donate some money to them?

The teacher couldn’t help but explain with a laugh. These people were not poor; after Earth Civilization became a Secondary Civilization, social wealth exploded, and there were hardly any poor people left.

Most of those hiking were doing it to experience life and seek inspiration, as the height of the Planet Engine was enormous, piercing the sky. Above five thousand meters, layers of fog and seas of clouds would appear, and hiking up to it could greatly enrich one’s spiritual and physical experience.

Many people drew inspiration from this and created numerous outstanding works.

Now is also a time of literary explosion, with all sorts of excellent works emerging constantly.

Works about the Underground City, Planet Engine, and Life Community are especially prevalent, presenting a flourishing diversity.

However, as the Wandering continued, works about the Life Community began to outpace the others, showing a prominent rise.

Since the mystery of the Universe deepened during the wandering journey, and the concept of Celestial Civilization gradually gained acceptance, many people’s wild imaginations were fully unleashed. A surge of works about the universe and Constant Star Lu Chen emerged, and because of Constant Star Lu Chen’s unique status, any work of this kind received favorable treatment from literary organizations.

Thus, this could be said to be the most splendid era in Earth’s history.

Earth not only returned to the embrace of the Constant Star but Earth Civilization also ascended to a Secondary Civilization.

Today’s Earth Civilization, whether in terms of technological level, societal advancement, cultural richness, or openness of thought, has reached a brand new peak!

When the sightseeing vehicle reached the peak of the Planet Engine.

Each elementary student put on a temporary oxygen mask and donned a thick coat, then followed the teacher to the nozzle of the Planet Engine.

Looking inside from the nozzle, the very top part had accumulated a large mass of white ice because it lacked heat supply. The middle part, however, was not that cold and even had some plants with a high metal content growing; the very bottom was a complete deep black, where nothing could be seen.

Four hours later, the visit to the Planet Engine concluded. frёeωebɳovel.com

With not much time left, the teacher immediately took the students to the last stop of the tour—the Wandering Base!
