  Chapter 543 Ecology of the Aurora Sea (33)

  Ian can fly, and in his previous life, he was used to riding in aerospace vehicles or rockets, and he had to ride in orbital space elevators several times a week.

  But for the saucer-shaped aircraft, it was really the first time someone tapped me on the shoulder at night.

  The core cockpit of the aircraft is high in the center, and the cylindrical space in the middle is the manned area, with two floors of fixed chairs, which can transport fifty people at a time.

  It is evening in the imperial capital, but the whole city and even the lower city are brightly lit, and the neon lights are full of people, and the factories and workshops that go all night are transporting a huge amount of materials.

Ian overlooked this scene from the air. He stared at the huge and incomparably bright beam of light in the center of the imperial capital. The swirling light particles continuously created a layer of cloud and mist over the central sky of the imperial capital, but it was not a real cloud and mist, but too condensed. Some kind of luminous phenomenon that is a mixture of natural psionic field and source matter.

This cloud is like snow, and it is also like some kind of light with a substance. Even though the saucer-shaped aircraft quickly reached the altitude of 10,000 meters, the height is still inferior to the huge jet port of the imperial capital, and it has not entered the light mist. .

   "It's so beautiful."

  Ian said softly, he has always liked this kind of thing, whether it is man-made or natural, this kind of grand and magnificent thing is so heart-wrenching.

  But it is precisely this overly powerful technology and overly transcendent power that has caused the sentient beings of Terra to sink into the current situation.

   It's just that Ian never thought that the current Tyra was an 'answer'.

   This is just a calculation, a question.

  A complex, difficult, but ultimately answered question.

  He will try to find the answer. An answer that satisfies most people.

   Today, the boy is already at the height of the mountain. At this height, both the city and the human beings are insignificant... The rulers of this world stand in this kind of place overlooking all living beings.

   They may not love others.

Inaiga II may be the strongest and most radical, and the one he loves the most, but the other fifth energy levels may not all be evil, they are all villains—all high-level powerhouses in this world must have a firm heart and a strong heart. Desires have their own dreams and rules.

  They are all in love, and they are all using another method to make their country and their people live better.

   At least, it is getting stronger.

  However, whether it is a strong person or an ordinary person, standing in such a place, standing at a height overlooking everything... At that time, what they think about may be what will happen thousands of years later.

  The survival of Terra, the survival of civilization.

  They can't see a person's happiness, don't know the meaning of a family's smile, and don't care about the survival of a city.

  They think about the survival of mankind as a whole, how to deal with natural disasters, and how to maintain the fragile balance of the world.

   And Ian knew that one day he would stand in that place, overlooking the world.

  The boy withdrew his gaze.

  —but definitely not just the top of the mountain.

  He wants to stand higher, see farther, and perceive people who are more subtle, so that everyone can understand some lofty wishes...

  Because, that's the only way...

   "Only in this way can I fulfill my dream."

  Ian whispered to himself, causing Frost Butterfly to stare at him. He stretched out his hand and touched the goblin's head: "Don't worry, Frost Butterfly. You just stay behind for this operation, you don't need to come here."

   Saying this, Ian sighed: "Actually, I was wondering if I should let you stay in the imperial capital...but that would be of no benefit."

   The future silver mist reflected from Frost Butterfly was only available when I went to the Avak region with Ian. Staying in the imperial capital is just light blue, and there will be no change.

  In any case, I can't give up the opportunity to make Frost Butterfly stronger—but Ian is also a little entangled, is it too dangerous for Frost Butterfly?

   But it is a fairy after all. And Hua An and Mo Feng took care of them.

   Unless you are in a virtual environment, otherwise, it will be difficult to die.

  In order to prevent being discovered, the pumice aircraft must be suspended at an altitude of about 15,000 meters for a long time, and after reaching the western border, it will quickly descend, fly close to the ground, and then reach the Avak area.

   During this process, the entire aircraft must remain silent.

  Ian carried the same weapons as before. Charged Water Gun, Steel Pattern Sword, Heavy Abyss Iron Sword and Void Armor. A box of medicine and various observation instruments. After all, he is only an alchemist on the surface, even if he is good at swordsmanship (everyone thinks it was taught by Viscount Grant), he will not bring too sophisticated weapons.

  The disc-shaped aircraft flashed by from a high altitude, and it was almost non-existent from the surface. Even a sublimator could see a light spot flickering in the clouds at most, which was easily overlooked.

   However, this is still not high.

Above the saucer-shaped aircraft, there is a rather gorgeous layer of 'light sea', which is probably Terra's ionosphere, in which there are a large number of psionic fields and natural source matter, but they are too violent and have no structure at all. It is not as convenient to absorb as the surface that has undergone biological transformation.

  But if there is a way to use it, this may also be regarded as a rather huge energy pool.

   And in this huge energy pool, there are some kind of extremely huge creatures that are several tens of kilometers long.

  Ian was shocked for the first time.

  But soon, he discovered that it was not a whole creature, but a collective of a large number of 'atmospheric plankton'.

These plankton that absorb the source quality of the sun in the ionosphere of Terra are the first layer of the Terra ecosystem to deal with the natural source quality, and they construct most of the source quality fragments into a system of source quality The structure, with the rain or the strong wind, sinks into the ecological circle, and can be used by all living beings.

  Their settlements gather together, like some kind of whale, some kind of huge bird, or a winding snake... They emit a bright light stream like an aurora, and from time to time across the sky, it is extremely gorgeous.

"I heard that after the thunder-hunting jellyfish reaches the second energy level, they will float there by magnetic levitation and hunt those 'aurora mayflies'. It is precisely because they have such power to chase thunder and aurora that they are called Thunder-hunting jellyfish."

Hua An showed off her demeanor as an elf bachelor at this moment. She noticed Ian's gaze, so she explained to Ian very seriously: "At that time, the king of the mine-hunting jellyfish swarm, or the 'brain' ' will be truly born...that is the third-level behemoth known as the Aurora Devourer, 'Thor'."

"And Ian, your friend, Isengarde's bloodline of refining the dragon, the inheritance known as the Skystalker, also lives in this ecological cycle, and is one of the top predators .”

   "It's so."

   Ian suddenly realized that he nodded seriously to express his gratitude.

   It seems that apart from the surface, Terra also has a fairly rich ecosystem in the atmosphere.

  Because he has been studying alchemy recently, Ian has not increased his knowledge. After all, the priority of these encyclopedic knowledge is relatively low. If you want to know, you can ask other people, or let the silver chip identify it.

  Then the question comes—who is the highest-level ruler of this ecosystem?

  Ian asked so.

   "Of course it's a real dragon."

Mo Feng spoke bluntly, and answered Ian's doubts: "The lairs of most real dragons are located in the orbit above the atmosphere, flying around Terra—but there are also types that like to build their lairs on the surface, such as the steel dragon. Even if it is one kind, the ice dragon is also considered, and there are some sea dragons."

   "But the wind and fire attributes, as well as some magnetoelectric dragons, all live in the void."

"True dragons are also top-level intelligent races. Like us goblins, they will not rashly participate in the disputes among the nations of Terra. And many ecological creatures derived from the true dragons as their core also live in the sea of ​​atmosphere. Dragon Island on the balance track is a very lively place."

   "Balance orbit... I see. Is it a space eco-city, or a simple cluster of space islands?"

  So thoughtful, Ian raised his head and looked at the sky above his head... He suddenly felt that this world was really an unexpected danger, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's terrible."

   "But it's also surprisingly exciting."

  I really want to go and see these strange scenery and see this dangerous and interesting world.

  With such a feeling of worry or expectation, the pumice aircraft flew silently all the way, and soon arrived at the western border at night.

  The saucer-shaped aircraft descended in a quiet wooded area, and slowly lowered the transport vehicle, making a slight bang.

   And Ian and the others came to the edge of the Avak region.
