Chapter 5 The Three-Body Problem Zhou Wenwang Long Night(2/2)

"But along the way, I didn't see you have this ability."

"The prediction of the movement of the sun can only be made in Chaoge, because it is the intersection of yin and yang, and only the hexagrams taken there are accurate." The two of them traveled for a long time in the harsh chaos era, and during this period, they experienced a short epoch and finally arrived in Chaoge.

Wang Miao heard an uninterrupted roar similar to thunder. This sound was made by many strange things on Chaoge. They were huge single pendulums, each several dozen meters high. The pendulum pendulum was a huge rock, hanging on the overpass between two thin stone towers by a large bunch of ropes. Each pendulum was swinging. What drove them were a group of soldiers in armor, who worked together to pull the rope tied to the pendulum of the huge rock to maintain its swing. Wang Miao found that all the swings of the swings were synchronized. From a distance, the scene was fascinating, like moving clocks and watches standing on the earth, and like many huge and abstract symbols falling from the sky.

Surrounded by the huge swing, there was a huge pyramid, and in the night was like a towering black mountain, which was King Zhou's palace. Wang Miao followed King Wen of Zhou into a low-high cave door on the base of the pyramid. Several guards were wandering silently in the darkness like ghosts. They walked in along a long tunnel. The tunnel was narrow and black, and there was a torch very far apart.

"In the era of chaos, the whole country was dehydrated, but King Zhou was always awake and accompanied this lifeless country. If you want to survive in the era of chaos, you have to live in such a building with extremely thick walls, almost like living underground, so as to avoid the severe cold and heat." King Wen of Zhou explained to Wang Miao as he walked.

After walking a long way, I entered the main hall in the center of the pyramid. In fact, it was not big, it looked like a cave. The person wearing a large flowered animal skin sitting on a high platform was obviously King Zhou, but the first thing that attracted Wang Miao's attention was a man in black. His black clothes were almost integrated with the thick shadows in the hall, and his pale face seemed to float in the void.

"This is Fuxi." King Zhou introduced the man in black to King Wen of Zhou and Wang Miao who had just come in, as if they were there all the time, and the man in black was the new one. "He believed that the sun was a god with a bad temper. He was moody when he was awake, and it was a chaos era; he breathed evenly when he fell asleep. Fuyi suggested erecting the swings outside, swinging day and night, claiming that this had a strong hypnotic effect on the sun god and could cause him to fall into a long drowsiness. But until now, we see that the sun god is still awake, and at most it just takes a nap from time to time."

King Zhou nodded to King Wen of Zhou: "Ji Chang, I will erect a monument for you, which is taller than this palace."

King Wen of Zhou bowed deeply: "My king, let your dynasty wake up and prosper!"

King Zhou stood up on the stone platform, spread his arms as if he wanted to embrace the whole world, and he shouted in a very strange singing tone: "Soak--"

Hearing this order, everyone in the hall ran towards the cave gate. Under the instructions of King Wen of Zhou, Wang Miao followed him along the long tunnel toward the pyramid. When he walked out of the cave gate, Wang Miao saw that it was noon, and the sun was quietly shining on the earth in the sky. When the breeze blew, he seemed to smell the breath of spring. King Wen of Zhou and Wang Miao came to a lakeside not far from the pyramid. The ice on the lake had melted and the sun was jumping in the microwave.

The first group of soldiers shouted, "Soak! Soak!" They all rushed to a tall stone building shaped like a barn by the lake. On the way, Wang Miao saw this kind of building from time to time in the distance. King Wen of Zhou told him that it was a "dry warehouse" and a large warehouse for storing dehydrated people. The soldiers opened the stone door of the dry warehouse and moved out a roll of dusty rolls. Each of them held it, clamped several rolls, walked towards the lake, and threw the rolls into the lake. When the rolls encountered water, they immediately stretched out. For a moment, a thin human figure seemed to be cut out. Every "human piece" was floating on the lake.

Rapidly absorbed water and expanded. Gradually, the "human pieces" on the lake surface turned into round flesh. These bodies quickly showed signs of life, and struggled to stand up from the waist-deep lake water. They opened their eyes as if they were awakened from a dream and looked at the sunny world. "Soak!" one person shouted, which immediately attracted a lot of cheers: "Soak! Soak!!"... These people ran ashore from the lake, ran to the dry warehouse naked, threw more scrolls into the lake, and soaked resurrected people ran out of the lake in groups. This scene also happened in the lakes and ponds farther away, and the whole world was resurrected.

"Oh my God! My finger—"

Wang Miao looked in the sound and saw a man who had just soaked in the resurrection standing in the lake, holding up one hand and crying, "The hand was missing the middle finger, and blood dripped from the broken finger on his hand into the lake." Other resurrected people rushed past him and ran towards the shore happily, but no one paid attention to him.

"Okay, just be content!" said a resurrected man passing by. "Someone has lost their entire arm and leg, and some have a hole in their head. If we don't soak it, we will be gnawed by the rats in the chaos!"

"How long have we been dehydrated?" asked another resurrected person.

"You will know how thick the sand and dust accumulated in the palace of the Great King. I just heard that the king is no longer the king before dehydration. I don't know if it is his son or grandson."

The soaking lasted for eight days before it was completely over. At this time, all the dehydrated people were resurrected and the world was reborn again. During these eight days, people enjoyed the sunrise and sunset with accurate cycles for twenty hours a day. Bathed in the breath of spring, everyone sincerely praised the sun and the gods who ruled the universe. On the eighth night, the bonfires on the earth were denser than the stars in the sky. In the long chaos, the abandoned towns were filled with lights and noise. Like countless soakings before civilization, everyone would revel all night to welcome the new life after the sunrise.

But the sun never rose again.

All kinds of timers indicate that the time for sunrise has passed, but the horizons in all directions are still pitch black. Ten hours have passed, and there is no shadow of the sun, and even the faintest morning light cannot be seen. One day has passed, and the boundless night has continued; two days have passed, and the cold is like a giant palm pressing against the earth in the dark night.

"Please believe me, this is only temporary. I saw the sun in the universe gathering, and the sun is about to rise, and the eternal era and spring will continue!" In the hall of the pyramid, King Wen of Zhou knelt under the stone stage where King Zhou was sitting upright and begged.

"Let's burn the cauldron." King Zhou sighed and said.

"King! King!" A minister stumbled in from the cave gate and shouted in a crying voice, "There are three flying stars in the sky!!"

Everyone in the hall was stunned. The air seemed to solidify, and only King Zhou was still silent. He turned to Wang Miao, who had always been disdainful of his concern, "You don't know what it means to appear three flying stars, right? Ji Chang, tell him."

"This means long and severe years, so cold that it can freeze stones into powder." King Wen of Zhou sighed and said.

"Dehydration—" King Zhou shouted again in the singing voice. In fact, on the ground outside, people had already begun to dehydrate one after another, and turned into humans to spend the long night. The lucky ones among them were moved back into the dry warehouse, and a large number of people were discarded in the wilderness. King Wen of Zhou slowly stood up and walked towards the bronze cauldron that was set on the fire. He climbed up the edge of the cauldron and stopped for a few seconds before jumping in. Perhaps he saw Fuxi's cooked face chuckling at him in the soup.

"Use mild fire." King Zhou said weakly, and then turned to others, "If you need to EXIT, just EXIT, there is no need to play games here."

A red EXIT sign appeared above the cave door, and people walked there one after another. Wang Miao also followed, passing through the cave door and the long tunnel to the outside of the pyramid. He saw heavy snow in the night, and the biting cold made him fight a cold war. A corner of the sky showed that the game time was speeding up again.

Ten days later, the snow was still falling, but the snow was large and thick, like condensed darkness. Someone whispered in Wang Miao's ear: "This is dry carbon dioxide ice." Wang Miao turned his head and saw that he was a follower of King Wen of Zhou.

Ten days later, the snow was still falling, but the snowflakes had become thin and transparent, and a detached light blue color appeared in the glimmer of the torch from the pyramid cave door, like countless flying mica pieces.

"The snowflakes are solidified oxygen and nitrogen, and the atmosphere is disappearing in absolute zero."

The pyramid was buried by snow. The lowest layer was water snow, the middle layer was dry ice snow, and the upper layer was solid oxygen and nitrogen snow. The night sky became extremely clear, and stars were like silver flames. A line of words appeared on the background of the starry sky:

The night lasted for forty-eight years, and civilization No. 137 was destroyed in the severe cold, and the civilization evolved to the Warring States level.

The seed of civilization is still there, it will restart and begin the unpredictable evolution in the Three-Body World again. You are welcome to log in again.

Before exiting, Wang Miao finally noticed three flying stars in the night sky. They were very close to each other and surrounded each other, dancing some strange dance in the abyss of space.
