Chapter 119 Chunming City

"Take a look for yourself." Yang Qi handed over the tablet in his hand.

Just as Yang Qi said, the entire Shuzhou area was completely dark when viewed from low-Earth orbit - no matter whether the camera was zoomed in or out, there was no change.

"Tianshu Tower will send research teams to Shuzhou one after another, but these experts will not participate in the actions of the Disaster Response Committee. They have other purposes." Yang Qi said.

"Study the eternal night?" Sun Hang thought of the answer immediately.

"That's right." Yang Qi nodded. "This is a rare opportunity. Many people will never see the Eternal Night come in their entire lives. For those crazy scientific researchers, the danger of the Eternal Night is not enough to stop them. Some people even proposed to move the Tianshu Tower to Shuzhou."

"Does Eternal Night have such high research value?" Sun Hang asked doubtfully.

"In the entire weird creature ecosystem...assuming that weird creatures have an ecosystem," Yang Qi said, "Eternal Night is a very important part. From those primitive weird creatures that humans cannot understand to the undead spirits transformed from the dead, they are all inextricably linked to Eternal Night...Do you think it has high research value?"

"How come it ranks only third among the Type B monsters?" Sun Hang muttered, "Who are the first and second ones? And how powerful is that original primary monster?"

"Your question..." Yang Qi couldn't help but hold his forehead, "To be honest, it's hard for me to explain it to you in a few words. If you are interested in these things, after we get off the plane, I can take you to the Tianshu Tower's information library. Your permission level has been updated yesterday. You can freely access information below the confidentiality level A in the Tianshu Tower information library."

"Okay." Sun Hang turned his gaze to the window - Shuzhou, shrouded in eternal night, had been left far behind. From this distance, it looked like a black curtain wall reaching straight to the sky.

……

……

Two hours was neither short nor long. When the escorting fighters spread out to both sides and the transport plane began to lower its altitude, Sun Hang knew that they had arrived at their destination.

The transport plane slowly passed through the clouds, and an extremely magnificent city appeared on the earth.

Sun Hang originally thought that the prosperous Tianfu City was already a big city, but compared with the huge building in front of him, Tianfu City suddenly pales in comparison.

It is hard to imagine how many generations of effort and how much resources are needed to build a city of this scale... to give birth to such an amazing miracle.

"Chunming City, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is the largest city in the entire Xiazhou continent, the Xiazhou Federation... or in other words, the cultural, economic, political and military center of the entire human society, and the location of the highest decision-making body of human civilization." Yang Qi said beside Sun Hang, "Although I have been here many times, every time I look down at this city from a high altitude, I can feel the shock from the bottom of my heart. I always feel that even a city like Chunming City can be built, and human civilization is simply omnipotent. Even those territories occupied by monsters, we will be able to take them back sooner or later... Not only me, for many people, Chunming City can be regarded as their inner spiritual pillar." "..." Sun Hang frowned as he looked at the city below.

Chunming City is very majestic, but it is also very unfamiliar to Sun Hang - which means that he had never been to this city before he lost his memory.

For the people of Xiazhou, Chunming City is not only a city, but also a symbol. Even those who live in remote cities have to come to Chunming City to take a look at it in their lifetime. It is like a pilgrimage, as if their life is incomplete without visiting Chunming City.

But Sun Hang had no memory of this city at all.

Chunming City is just a symbol to him, symbolizing the title of "Capital of Xiazhou Federation"...that's all.

"Why do I feel that Chunming City looks like there is an illusion of space with layers upon layers?" Sun Hang said to Yang Qi, "It feels like those roads are floating in the sky, and those buildings are stacked like building blocks, making it difficult to tell where the ground is and where the roof is..."

"It's not your illusion. Chunming City is originally a 'three-dimensional' city." Yang Qi smiled. "Even though Chunming City covers a large area, more than a hundred years ago, the population in the city had exceeded the upper limit of the land's carrying capacity. While expanding the city horizontally, a genius planner came up with an idea - instead of extending the city to the suburbs, it is better to look to the sky."

"Throw it into the sky?" Sun Hang was slightly startled. "Does it mean to build the building higher?"

"Not entirely correct." Yang Qi explained, "Chunming City is a city with five layers, two underground and three above ground. From top to bottom, they are clearly 'Taiwei', 'Ziwei', 'Tianshi', 'Huangdao' and 'Hou Tu'. As for the horizontal area, it is divided into nine large areas and 28 small areas, which just correspond to the Three Enclosures, Four Symbols, Nine Fields and Twenty-Eight Mansions in ancient Chinese astrology."

"In other words, they built another 'layer' of city on top of the city?"

"To be precise, it is two layers." Yang Qi said, "The original Chunming City is now the 'Tianshiyuan'. The builders of Chunming City built an extremely huge steel structure platform 350 meters above the ground. The high-rise buildings of the original Chunming City were transformed into the pillars and skeleton of this platform... After this platform was built, the second layer of 'Ziweiyuan' was built on it. As for the 'Tianshiyuan' covered below, artificial suns were used to provide light. Under the Ziweiyuan platform, a large number of 'virtual skylights' were installed, which can fully synchronize the weather conditions on the upper layer. Except near those high-rise buildings that penetrate the two walls, people can't feel that there is another layer of city above their heads at all - how about it, isn't it a genius design?"

"Yeah." Sun Hang nodded. "But compared to the design plan, what's more surprising is that they can actually turn what's on the drawing into reality..."

"It took a full fifty years to build Ziweiyuan. The construction of Taiweiyuan began twenty-three years ago and it has not yet been completed." Yang Qi said.

The transport plane continued to descend in altitude, the escorting fighter jets had disappeared, and a huge floating platform separated from the top of Taiweiyuan and slowly moved towards them.

"The floating port in Taiweiyuan." Yang Qi said, "When necessary, it can also be used as an aerial combat platform."
