The captain tilted his head back.
His gaze pierced through countless snowflakes and hailstones.
In the sky, a terrifying blue beam of light, in its jet-like motion, suddenly tore a shocking gap in the thick, dark clouds!
It's like a celestial river surging and rushing through the clouds!
But anyone could tell that it wasn't a real river; it was a beam of light!
Even the dark clouds, scattered by the strong sunlight, were tinged with blue and white. Upon closer inspection, the snowflakes falling nearby appeared to be blue as well...
What is that huge blue light?
Laser weapons?
However, it seems to be affected by Gravity, and its overall shape is curved, with a granular and fluid feel. Moreover, there are specks of blue "ghost fire" at the end that are falling to the ground, but they disappear before they can land.
Inside the building.
The trapped people also noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky immediately.
A flowing, intense blue light filled their field of vision.
Then everyone had the same question as the captain.
"What's that in the sky?!"
The blue light, reflected off the snowflakes and glass, was still clearly visible.
Many people were shocked, rushing to the elevator with goosebumps all over their bodies, quickly going up to the top floor of the building, and then looking up at the sky from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
With the tall buildings no longer obstructing the view, people could finally see the blue light in the sky clearly.
Everyone stared, speechless; no one knew how to describe the epic and magnificent sight before them.
The blue beam of light stretched across the sky, extending for at least several hundred kilometers from left to right!
Within their field of vision, countless strange halos of light surged within the gloomy clouds, like floating blue magma, while lightning streaked through the clouds, flashing brightly incessantly.
The clouds that had covered several cities and even a wider area had now been violently torn in two. The beam of light had a noticeable bend at its end, like a waterfall connecting with the sea on the horizon. A faint mist could be seen floating in the distant sky.
Wow!
Everyone couldn't help but shiver.
Given what they are seeing now, even if someone told them that a mythical dragon was hiding in the clouds and that these strange phenomena were created by it, they probably wouldn't have any doubts...
A colossal pillar of light hundreds of kilometers long—how could any human being create such a thing?
At this moment, everyone in several cities looked up at the sky and fell into a long silence.
The beam of light didn't last long, disappearing rapidly after about ten seconds.
It disappeared.
But before people could calm down, the beam of light reappeared, this time in a different direction, continuing to shred the clouds in the sky...
"The snow seems to have melted?"
Suddenly someone wiped their hand out the window. The hand that landed on it felt wet and not cold at all; in fact, it was quite hot!
Many people felt a pang of fear from the scalding water.
After the Typhoon and hail, it started raining... boiling water?
What's wrong with this world?
Outside the building.
A torrential downpour replaced the snowflakes, falling to the ground and quickly melting the accumulated snow.
The rescue team leader looked at the man in the strange black armored suit ahead, said "Mission accomplished," nodded to himself, and then gestured for him to hurry back into the building.
The man then got back into the car and drove away quickly...
Just then, another burst of blue light shot into the sky.
In the brief moment of light, the rescue team leader saw with his own eyes the strange license plates of the black cars, as well as the flags on their vehicles...
One side was the national flag, and the other side was an unfamiliar flag that resembled a yin-yang symbol.
Strange. m.
However, it's started pouring rain now, so these people should be fine.
The captain glanced down at his smartwatch; the real-time temperature displayed on it had suddenly jumped to 12...
On the bus.
Watching the rescue workers return to the building, Wang Lei looked away.
Location task complete.
I have applied to return.
The next second, a black Spacetime Tunnel suddenly appeared in front of the road. The driver, used to it, drove straight through it.
The convoy quickly disappeared from sight.
Wandering Spacetime.
Zhang Tianyuan is on the flood control dike surrounding the Equator No. 1 Steering Engine.
The engine, which has just undergone pulse injection, is now in the cooling-off period.
Every ten seconds of jet propulsion, the Planetary Engine enters a fifty-second cooling cycle.
Even steering engines are no exception.
Additionally, it's worth mentioning that the Wandering Spacetime hasn't yet entered the escape era, and Earth hasn't truly gone off track, so the propulsion engines in the Northern Hemisphere are not operating.
Only the steering engine will officially begin operation in 2039, preparing to use its enormous thrust to gradually counteract the Earth's rotation speed over thirty years.
Zhang Tianyuan temporarily retracted the Spacetime Tunnel above the Planetary Engine nozzle.
The blue light that just streaked across the sky in the Snowpiercer Spacetime was actually a plasma beam emitted from the steering engine.
countless
The high-temperature plasma brought with it a tremendous amount of heat, enough to heat the atmosphere, easily melting all the ice and snow that had not yet formed in the sky.
Liu Chunshi's voice came through the earpiece inside the helmet:
"President, satellite data shows a significant rise in atmospheric temperature within the jet area, and the heat is spreading outwards. We've successfully heated the newly formed cold air mass!"
Zhang Tianyuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
It now appears that the high-temperature plasma transfer is more effective than expected.
"Then let's continue. Let's smash the other forming cold air masses in one fell swoop."
"Understood." Liu Chunshi began to report the location of the new cold air mass, while the team that had been sent over earlier had already taken up their positions to ensure that the opening of the Spacetime Tunnel would not be off-target.
Fifty seconds passed quickly, and the engine began a new round of jetting, sending a huge blast of air sweeping in from the inside out, carrying with it the ice and snow on the ground, crackling and popping.
Zhang Tianyuan seized the opportunity and opened Spacetime Tunnel above the nozzle in advance, transferring all the high-temperature plasma ejected in this round...
Snowpiercer Spacetime.
The controversy surrounding the "sky river" has only just begun.
Satellites in the sky noticed the plasma flow as soon as it first appeared.
The plasma, which is hundreds of kilometers long and is high-energy, high-pressure, and high-speed, will spread far beyond hundreds of kilometers after being scattered in the sky by Gravity and other factors.
Even in other neighboring countries, the sky, dyed blue, can be observed using telescopes.
From space, a dazzling blue light can even be seen appearing in the darkness, more pronounced than the aurora borealis at the poles.
In a modern office with a classic style.
Cheng Wanli received the news immediately.
Looking at the briefing in his hand, his eyes were full of doubt.
"... There's a clear direction of the jet, the cause is unknown, and it carries enormous heat... Is that strange energy still being ejected?"
The assistant looked at the internal work phone and read out the latest message: "It's gone now. This situation lasted for a total of ten minutes, with a clear, rhythmic pattern."
"Their purpose is unclear, but the cold air mass that appeared due to atmospheric cooling has now been heated..."
As he spoke, the assistant suddenly paused, his eyes widening in surprise, as if he had received some unbelievable news.
"We just received news that this phenomenon has also occurred in New York..."
