Chapter 671: Elevator to an unknown location
But soon, the elevator smoothly went down from the sixth floor to the first floor, and the elevator door opened automatically.
Xu You carefully stepped one leg into the elevator door. After hesitating for a moment, he did not step into the elevator with the other leg. Instead, he pressed it against the elevator door to prevent it from closing directly.
Even if he had to take the risk of taking the elevator, Xu You would first assess the safety of the elevator.
The space in the elevator is very large and can accommodate more than 20 people at the same time. It is considered a very large elevator.
"It should just be that there is not enough lubricant. There is basically no problem with safety."
After some evaluation, Xu You determined the safety of the elevator.
Due to the lack of lubricating oil, the elevator needs to withstand greater friction during operation, and may even experience some jamming.
Of course, even if it was completely stuck, Xu You was confident that he could open the elevator door as quickly as possible, or crawl out from the gap, or escape to the nearest floor via the elevator rope.
Another new situation was that Xu You noticed that among the floor buttons in the elevator, there was only one other floor besides the first to sixth floors above.
This floor, independent of the six floors, can be considered as the "underground basement".
"Is there only one other floor below?" Xu You asked puzzledly.
At this time, Xu You no longer cared about the potential danger and made up his mind to put both feet into the elevator.
Immediately afterwards, Xu You pressed the elevator button representing the next floor.
When the elevator door closed, Xu You's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
This is an elevator that leads to an unknown place. Even someone as calm as Xu You is filled with a hint of fear about the unknown future.
In this short period of time on one floor, Xu You felt as if a long time had passed.
"wrong……"
At this moment, Xu You suddenly realized that things were not that simple.
Xu You had a very clear concept of time. He knew very well that if it was just the time it took to jump over one floor, it would be too long.
At a normal speed, the elevator should have descended at least several dozen meters.
In addition to moving downward, Xu You vaguely felt that the elevator seemed to be slowly rotating at the same time.
Xu You couldn't be sure of this feeling, because from the perspective of gravity, Xu You could be sure that the elevator was not tilted at all.
Xu You didn't understand for a moment why his feelings were so contradictory.
finally.
After a long run, the elevator finally stopped.
At this moment, Xu You's heart was beating wildly, worried and looking forward to the scene after the elevator door opened.
When the elevator door opened a crack, Xu You immediately felt a beam of light pouring into the elevator.
This light made Xu You feel familiar and natural, and it didn't seem like artificial light such as lamps.
As the elevator door opened, the light became brighter.
This made Xu You's eyes unable to bear such strong light for a moment, so he had to squint his eyes and walked out of the elevator.
"Here... is such a wide open space?" Xu You asked in surprise.
As his eyes were not yet able to adapt to the strong light, Xu You did not dare to look up too much. He could only squint and look forward carefully.
Even so, Xu You could feel that the world here was indeed very open and there was no sense of enclosure like in an underground shelter.
It feels like stepping onto the land of a new planet.
"This light... seems to be as strong as sunlight."
Xu You felt that perhaps it was because the elevator had just descended a long distance that there was enough space here.
After a few minutes, Xu You gradually got used to this feeling and no longer felt the light was so dazzling.
At this time, Xu You finally dared to look up and see the detailed situation here.
"Um?"
But when Xu You looked up, he found that the scene here was far beyond his imagination.
This new "floor" cannot be described as very spacious, but rather it has almost infinite space!
This even made Xu You feel that there was no ceiling above his head, but an endless sky.
And the object that produced the light was not a lamp or something like that, but a huge sphere like the sun!
“This…how is this possible?”
For a moment, Xu You wondered whether everything he saw before his eyes was just an illusion.
Although the elevator took a long time to descend, it would not be necessary for it to travel such a long distance in one go and reach the deep underground of the moon.
However, all of this felt so real that Xu You couldn't sense any falsehood at all.
Xu You's willpower is very strong and he will not be easily deceived by illusions. Xu You himself is very confident about this.
"Wait a moment……"
Xu You suddenly thought of something and turned around to look in the direction he came out.
When he saw the elevator exit behind him, Xu You suddenly solved all his confusion.
"Sure enough... all this is indeed not an illusion !"
Xu You clearly saw that there was actually nothing on top of the elevator.
Yes, nothing.
Logically speaking, since I just came down from above, there should be a very long passage above the elevator.
In connection with the suspected spinning feeling he just felt, Xu You finally understood it completely.
"It turns out that just now, without my noticing, the elevator flipped 180 degrees. Now the direction above my head is actually the direction of the moon's core ."
Xu You guessed that there must be a device similar to an artificial gravity system at the bottom of the elevator, which allowed Xu You to rotate the angle without realizing it.
In this way, it is no longer difficult to explain the vast and almost endless space above our heads.
Looking at the center of the moon from a location not too deep underground is naturally a very long distance.
This sun-like thing in the sky should be an artificial "star" that continuously emits light through a method similar to controlled nuclear fusion and provides all the energy for the operation of the moon's interior.
"Great, what a great design!"
After understanding the underlying logic here, Xu You couldn't help but shout out loud.
Even Xu You had never imagined such a design before, which could accommodate a large population while providing them with ample space for activities.
This huge "artificial sun" in the center of the moon combines the functions of lighting and energy, allowing everything to continue to operate.
