Electromagnetic Tyrant

This hotel is not big, only three floors.

Ji Xinghuo walked to the balcony outside the room and could see the streets dozens of meters away, bustling with people coming and going.

Looking into the distance, only a small part of the city of Olympia can be seen.

This city is the center of the earth in the astral realm. When it was first founded, it was managed by the "Astral Defense Council (ADC)". However, in the following decades, the ADC gradually lost power, and disputes over the global geopolitical structure gradually evolved into what it is today. A multi-polar world of "two superpowers and two powers".

The sovereignty of Olympia simultaneously reflects the political ecology of the earth.

Starting decades ago, the city of Olympia was roughly divided into four urban areas, controlled by the four major powers on the earth.

As the two super hegemons, the Asia-Pacific Community and the American Federation naturally have the largest spheres of influence.

One controls the Eastern Xia District, and the other controls the Southern Star District.

The remaining two powers are the New Roman Empire and the Western Democratic Alliance.

The rest of the countries have to rely on the four great powers to have a place in Olympia.

Ji Xinghuo is located in the Dongxia District, which occupies a quarter of the city. More than 70% of it belongs to the Asia-Pacific Community, and the remaining 30% is divided among the allies or economic partners of the Asia-Pacific Community.

There are more than five million people in Dongxia District alone!

The entire city of Olympia has a permanent population of more than 20 million. In ancient times on earth, this was an unimaginably large population.

For a city without technology and modern architecture, the only way to accommodate such a large population is to expand the urban area.

Therefore, the length and width of the city of Olympia are more than fifty kilometers.

The buildings in the city are endless and there is no end in sight, but no matter which direction you look, you can see a tall city wall.

In addition to Olympia, various countries have other cities built far away from the Star Gate.

For example, the "Yanhuang City" of the Asia-Pacific Community is more than 400 kilometers east of Olympia; the "New Philadelphia" of the American Federation is to the south.

A total of more than 20 cities have opened up more than one million square kilometers of territory for all mankind.

But the most important thing is Olympia.

Only here can one travel between the star realm and the earth. It has the largest population, concentrated resources, and millions of troops stationed in various countries. The surrounding dangerous factors have been completely eliminated, so it is also the safest.

Ji Xingyan plans to stay in Olympia for a while.

There are more than 20 million people in Olympia, so be careful. Although it is not like finding a needle in a haystack for the Sword Bureau to find you, it is still very difficult.

As soon as he senses that trouble is coming, he immediately changes places.

After watching on the balcony for a while, Ji Xinghuo returned to the room.

When he opened the Vientiane Star Pupil interface, the three arrows were still there. He turned his body towards the largest arrow and immediately sensed guidance from the distance again.

"what is it?"

Ji Xinghuo was looking forward to it, but he didn't go there on impulse.

He remained still and concentrated on sensing the direction of the arrow, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not get more information, only that clear connection.

"Um?"

Ji Xinghuo suddenly frowned, "Can it move?"

He sensed it for another ten minutes and finally confirmed that the direction pointed by the arrow was moving. Although the movement is very small, it can be confirmed that it really moved!

Ji Xinghuo's heart sank, this was definitely bad news!

There are two possibilities.

First, the thing itself can move, but the probability is very small, and Wanxiang Xingpu has no ability to move.

The second is that it is moved by other creatures.

"Did it be eaten by some astral creature?" Ji Xinghuo guessed, "Or was it obtained by someone else?"

if the latter one……

Ji Xinghuo was shocked. He could sense the other party, but could the other party sense him?

What if the other party is a terrifying astral powerhouse and kills him directly? If he hides here, wouldn't it bring disaster to Olympia City and even the earth?

Ji Xinghuo suddenly became restless.

But he did not act rashly and stayed in the room, focusing on sensing the changes in the direction of the arrow.

Time passes slowly.

The flow rate of time in the astral realm is the same as that on the earth. The difference is that there are 49.6 earth hours in a day in the astral realm, and there are more than just day and night.

Between day and night, there is also a "starry night", and the day is divided into three stages.

A few hours later, the "golden glow" in the sky fell from the western horizon, and the setting sun gave Olympia a golden light.

When the last ray of sunlight disappeared, a "moon" rose on the eastern horizon.

Ji Xinghuo observed this wonderful scene on the balcony.

A "moon" slowly rose into the sky. It was half as big as Jinhui, but not as bright as Jinhui. The silvery white light was mixed with brilliant blue, and it fell down, covering the whole world in a dreamlike moonlight. Like a sweet dream.

At the same time, stars lit up in the distant sky.

There are billions of these stars, countless in number. They form a galaxy that covers the entire sky. Most of them are extremely dim, but a few are very bright.

Everyone is very familiar with this galaxy.

"Galaxy Reflection!"

Ji Xinghuo let out a sigh of praise.

Unlike viewing the Milky Way on earth, you can see the entire Milky Way in the star realm without any hidden zones or dust obstructions.

It's like looking down at the entire galaxy from the front of the Milky Way tens of thousands of light years away.

This phenomenon is completely unexplainable in astronomy.

There are still many things in the astral world that are incomprehensible.

For example, the "moon" is not actually a moon, it is also a star. Astronomers identify it as a blue-white giant star. According to the name of the aborigines in the star world, it is called "Yilin Yao".

The volume of Yin Yao is more than a thousand times that of Jin Hui, but it is extremely far away, so it is not as bright as Jin Hui, and it seems to be only half the size.

In addition to Yin Yao, there are four other "moons" in the sky.

The one that emits scarlet blood light is the "Red Flame Star";

The one that emits a faint blue light is the "Blue Star";

The one that looks like a spherical jadeite is "Cuiweixing";

Finally, there is the "Purple Pole Star" shrouded in strange purple light.

Astronomers don't know whether they are stars or planets. They are about the same size, located in different directions, and each has its own orbital speed.

Sometimes the four stars can be seen during the day, but sometimes they disappear during the starry night.

But in the dark, most of the time they are not visible.

Based on the summary of observational phenomena, astronomers have come to a shocking conclusion: whether it is Jinhui or Yinyao, including four-color stars, they all revolve around the star world.

This is somewhat similar to the "geocentric theory" of centuries ago, but it is different in many details.

However, it is not clear whether the astral plane itself is a planet or not.

I don’t know how many astronomers have been troubled by this.

The length of the starry night is not fixed and changes every day.

According to the cyclical pattern of the starry night, the star world is divided into two seasons a year, the hot season and the cold season. Each season has 328 days, and is divided into nine months. Each month has a separate name. Most months have 36 days, and a few months have an extra day.

One "day" here is the length of time in the star realm, which is 49.6 earth hours.

It’s the “warm month” of the hot season, the fourth month of the year.

The starry night lasts 11 Earth hours.

Ji Xinghuo has been in the hotel room without leaving or sleeping, sensing the direction of the arrow every half minute.

As the silver rays fell, the sky completely fell into darkness, and the reflection of the Milky Way and the four-color stars disappeared.

This is when it truly enters the dark night.

The combined length of the starry night and the dark night is fixed, exactly as long as the day, which is equivalent to 24.8 Earth hours.

A cycle of day, starry night and dark night is a complete day in the astral world.

But tomorrow, the starry night will be 272 seconds longer.

During the hot season, the starry night will lengthen by 272 seconds every day until the last day of the "full moon", when the starry night lasts 24.8 Earth hours, as long as the day, while the length of the dark night decreases to zero.

This day is the midpoint of the astral year, and it is also the hottest time.

The cold season begins the next day.

During the cold season, day is followed by night, then starry night.

On the first day of the cold season, the night lasts only 272 seconds. After that, the night gets longer day by day and the temperature begins to drop. Until the last day of the "cold month", the night is the longest and the starry night shortens to zero.

In this way, two seasons are completed in eighteen months, and one astral year ends with 656 days.

One year in the astral world is equal to 3.7 years on earth!

Even in the dark, Olympia is still brightly lit. Although there are no electric lamps or oil lamps, there are many means of lighting in the astral realm.

The most commonly used crystal lamp in Olympia City is "luminous crystal" as the main material.

It absorbs sunlight to store energy during the day and emits light at night. Although the brightness is not high, as long as there are enough, the lighting effect can be achieved.

There are also several fluorescent plants that can illuminate both streets and homes.

Looking out from the hotel balcony, Olympia is dotted with bright lights like stars, and the city looks like an island in an endless ocean of darkness.

Ji Xinghuo looked outside the city and had an illusion.

There seemed to be great horror hidden in that invisible darkness.

In fact, the night in the star realm is the most dangerous. For most hunting teams and aliens who go out on adventures, the night is the biggest enemy they face.

Ji Xinghuo didn't sleep all night.

More than ten hours later, the golden light rose again, illuminating the earth.

This was his first day in the star realm, and he spent the whole time in the hotel room, without even stepping out of the door to eat.

While he concentrated on practicing, he paid attention to the changes in the arrows.

The second day, the third day...

Ji Xinghuo stayed in the hotel for three days, then moved to a hotel further away in the city, where he stayed until the seventh day.

He has become accustomed to the environment and climate of the star realm.

The most important thing is that Ji Xinghuo finally confirmed one thing through these seven days.

The movement pattern of the thing pointed by the arrow is synchronized with the day, starry night and night of the star world. It moves most frequently during the day, and the starry night also moves, and it is completely still at night.

This means that the other party is indeed a "person", an intelligent race!

However, the opponent's activity area is limited to a certain range, and there is no sign of approaching him.

Ji Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Only I can sense it, but the other party can't sense me."

Although he didn't dare to be 100% sure, he was more than 99% sure. Otherwise, he would have to return to Earth immediately, and he would not dare to stay in this star realm for a day.

When it comes to your own safety, and even the safety of Olympia City, you can never be too cautious.

Day eight.

When entering the starry night, Ji Xinghuo put a backpack full of cash on his back and walked out of the hotel.
