409: Chapter 402 High-Dimensional Civilization: Star Ring City 409: Chapter 402 High-Dimensional Civilization: Star Ring City Several days later, at dusk in the outskirts of the old town of Demon City, a brand-new, garden-style small manor was nestled, its inner villa was a very retro building remodeled.
At this moment, Su Mo, wearing pajamas, stood on the balcony of the second floor, gazing into the distance.
A spectacular sight caught her eyes, the ruins of the old town that had been leveled were now the site of a newly constructed interstellar airport.
The massive all-metal terminal building, with each level reaching fifty meters, was clearly not meant for ordinary planes.
Su Mo had done some research; the entire Federation planned a total of twenty-four interstellar airports.
Eighteen of them were being constructed in zones M, Z, E, O, and the remaining six were distributed in other regions.
In two months’ time, all twenty-four interstellar airports, rushed regardless of cost, were essentially completed on time.
It could be considered the largest construction project in recent years.
Su Mo picked up her phone and glanced at it, today was the last day of the year, after tonight it would be New Year’s.
This day in previous years would definitely be bustling, with every household welcoming the new year.
But today was unusually quiet, as everyone was waiting for the beginning of the Heavenly Cup.
That morning, Su Mo had received a public text message from the Federation, stating that from morning onwards, the entire Federation had entered a Level 1 state of war readiness.
From afar, Su Mo could see squads of fully armed soldiers beginning to patrol the streets of Demon City.
Armored vehicles and tanks were also brought out, and from time to time, planes roared across the sky.
According to the disabled Star Ring Game prompt, the Heavenly Cup would officially start at 12 midnight.
Su Mo was increasingly curious; she wondered what exactly the Heavenly Cup was like.
Inside the administrative building at the Imperial City Center in Federation’s Z Area.
Long Ming, dressed in a blue robe adorned with stars, sat firmly in his chair, resting with his eyes closed, surrounded by various councilmen of the Federation.
But most of them were restless, as the time for the Heavenly Cup drew near, everyone was nervous since they were about to face an unknown new world.
On the walls of the room, a large mechanical clock kept ticking.
When the hour hand reached half-past eleven, a dull bell rang.
Long Ming opened his eyes and stood up, addressing Augustus and others, “Let’s go!”
All the councilmen were startled and followed him closely.
Under the leadership of Long Ming, they came to a special elevator inside the administrative building.
The area was heavily guarded.
The group used the elevator to descend deep underground.
When the elevator doors opened, a thirty-meter-tall alloy gate came into view. Follow current novels on novęlfire.net
Long Ming placed his hand on the recognition scanner.
“Fingerprint recognition passed!”
“Pupil recognition passed!”
“Biometric recognition passed!”
After a series of recognition commands were approved, click!
The massive alloy gate slowly rose, revealing an incredibly spectacular underground mechanical room.
Inside, countless fiber-optic cables stretched to the central area.
In the center of the mechanical room, there stood a very unique metallic spire, embedded with a special Metallic Rubik’s Cube.
The group approached the metallic spire, hearts in their throats.
This was the cornerstone for activating the Star Ring, which they had initially obtained from space.
Long Ming looked at his watch.
As the time reached midnight, he stepped forward and led everyone to bow before the metallic spire.
The councilmen echoed Long Ming’s firm declaration.
“Earth Star Civilization Federation Council Chairman Long Ming hereby declares.”
“Willing to offer our faith and lives as fuel, ignite the flame of civilization, embark on the conquest of the Star Ring Sky Cup, even if it results in inevitable disaster, with no regrets…..”
“Willing to offer our faith and lives as fuel, ignite the flame of civilization, embark on the conquest of the Star Ring Sky Cup….”
Amid the solemn oaths of the crowd, Long Ming stretched out his hand and pressed it on the metallic spire.
In an instant, the whole metallic spire, like an iron tree blossoming,
Released countless hexagonal metal grids.
The Metallic Rubik’s Cube at the center floated up, and right afterward, the metallic ceiling overhead began to split open layer by layer.
The next second, the Metallic Rubik’s Cube started to rotate and began to split, immediately sending a pillar of light soaring into the dark sky.
Like a blade cutting through the dark night sky or a pathway pointing towards the light in darkness.
At that moment, everyone in the entire world could witness this incredibly spectacular sight.
Su Mo watched the towering pillar of light, her heart trembling slightly.
Seen from the sky, a column of light pierced through the atmosphere and then spread out, forming a huge blue halo.
This halo, like an angel’s halo, suddenly enveloped both Earth Star and the nearby Moon Star.
The next second, the surroundings of Earth Star and Moon Star began to undergo transformation, altering dramatically.
On Earth Star, everyone looked up at the starry sky, seeing the world enveloped in a special halo; the towering pillar of light acted as the sole beacon in this world, illuminating everyone.
The observing crowd let out cries of astonishment, their emotions ranging from curiosity and excitement to worry and panic.
Watching this rare spectacle, Su Mo’s heart raced uncontrollably, truly a heart-stopping experience.
Fortunately, the entire event did not last very long, just over half an hour, as the towering pillar of light began to dissipate.
At that moment, the split Metallic Rubik’s Cube began rotating again, its surfaces continuously emitting a special glow.
