Odd Containment Specialist

The true shape of the earth is a Möbius strip. Once this is set as the premise, the educational theories about the motion of celestial bodies that ordinary people have received since childhood will become strange.

Even now, Xia Shou feels that the Möbius Strip planet is too abstract and incomprehensible. It is more ridiculous than the Flying Pasta Cult and the Flat Earth Theory. It is the kind of statement that will definitely be regarded as a sarcastic statement when posted on the forum.

If you say that the earth is flat on the Internet, netizens may regard you as a civilian idiot, but if you say that the earth is a Möbius strip, there is a high probability that it will be made into an ironic emoticon.

In ordinary astronomy education, the planets move around the sun, and then there are spring, summer, autumn and winter.

This makes sense, because of distance and orbit, there are temperature differences and day and night lengths.

The equator is the hottest and the poles are the coldest, which makes perfect sense.

But if the earth becomes a Möbius strip, then the originally simple and clear conclusion becomes complicated, confusing and difficult to understand.

Where is the equator?

How do the sun and moon shine?

If you go to the edge of the Möbius strip, what will you see? Will you fall directly, or will the city and land on both sides appear symmetrical mirror images standing on the left and right?

While Xia Shou was still thinking about these absurd and interesting astronomical questions, there was a slight vibration underneath him and the plane took off.

The plane began to taxi and sprint, and the scenery outside the window began to accelerate backwards. Then the fuselage broke away from the ground, and the altitude began to rise, and then got higher and higher.

Soon, the plane reached above the clouds.

So far on this journey, the scene outside the window is still the same as Xia Shou's usual impression. However, as the altitude of the plane continues to rise, the clouds below are getting further and further away, and soon there is only one cloud left outside the window. The sun and a patch of blue.

The visual environment became unreal, the sky became extremely clear, there seemed to be no dust, and even the sunlight did not produce the Tyndall effect. The sun was like a decorative pendant on a blue canvas, and the windows of the airplane seemed to have stickers on it. One layer of oil painting.

"Minister, do you know how high we are now?" Xia Shou couldn't help but ask Shangguan Yan in the front row.

"Height is meaningless. Do you really think you can go to the moon by rocket? Just forget your previous knowledge of astronomy. Don't think about applying chimeras to each other. It's not the same thing at all.

For example, the sun is not actually a planet, but an occasional super-critical anomaly that has manifested itself differently in various places throughout the ages.

It is recorded in the literature that nine clones of the sun once appeared in China, and eight of them were shot away by Hou Yi.

There are also allusions similar to Amaterasu in Japan.

In short, the sun is a very changeable phenomenon. It usually shines on everything, but when it is dangerous, it will bring terrible disasters.

What ordinary people see with astronomical telescopes is the canopy set up by the predecessors. This arrangement was much earlier than the birth of the Control Bureau. This also shows that the ancients' use and understanding of the extraordinary may be even more advanced today. "

"I went to school in vain." Su Yue said with emotion.

"It's not in vain. Astronomical knowledge can still be applied to reality. All locations on ordinary maps can perfectly match astronomical knowledge. Astronomical theory may not match the truth as a tool, but it is still easy to use. Our predecessors have helped us. Considered."

After finishing speaking, Shangguanyan continued to add like a teacher: "Human cognition is always being refreshed, just like the heliocentric theory back then, the speed of light remains unchanged now."

Although it was outrageous, Xia Shou actually found this novel thing very interesting.

Outside the window, the sun's position in the sky is motionless, the blue background remains unchanged, there is no movement without a reference object, and the plane flying smoothly seems to be stationary.

Su Yue quickly accepted this bizarre world view and began to watch the Control Bureau's online courses.

Xia Shouze opened the official website of the Bureau of Control and passed the time by looking at Vogt's case.

In the middle, he took a nap. When he woke up, the still picture outside the window was no longer the same. The billowing clouds reappeared, and the sense of reality returned again.

The plane's announcement began to announce that it was about to arrive at its destination, reminding passengers to pay attention to safety, and the land below also appeared in view.

They were flying towards a huge prosperous city.

Next to this city is another ruined city filled with smoke.

Jiang Wengao, who was sitting in the back row, asked a question, and Bai He answered succinctly:

"Zombie City."

Jiang Wengao was very curious: "Aren't you going to clean it up? It's just zombies, not difficult to deal with, right? Even without nuclear bombs, thermal weapons can be enough to deal with it, right?"

“If it were just a phenomenon like a biohazard, it would have been dealt with long ago, but this anomaly appears to be a virus, but is actually a natural disaster.

The active status of humans and zombies in this city determines the extent of the spread of this abnormal phenomenon, so there are hundreds of thousands of civilians living in this dangerous city.

Like you said, it's not difficult to rescue all these people. The combat capabilities of zombies, let alone extraordinary ones, can be solved by ordinary thermal weapons.

But if you really do that, it will allow the zombie virus to spread.

And the spread of the virus cannot be stopped. It is currently believed that this is a causal effect.

Just like the yin and yang fish, the zombies here cannot die, but neither can the people. The active indicator of humans is survival, and the active indicator of zombies is infection. There must be people who cannot resist zombies living in this city.

The more people there are, the smaller the city can be, and the easier it is to control the zombies' combat effectiveness.

Once, the control failed, which led to the virus spreading further and invading surrounding cities. The zombies that could be suppressed by hot weapons evolved into steel bodies that were invulnerable to swords and guns, and underwent large-scale mutations.

That period was called the zombie frenzy period, and it was Captain Li Wei of the Lion Army who resisted this wave of attacks.

A large group of reservists gave up their weapons and moved into the city to live, eventually curbing the spread and reducing the city's area to its original level.

During that period, Lin Rizhe replaced Li Wei to guard the city for a long time. ”

Jiang Wengao in the back row was silent, perhaps because he was shocked.

After waiting for a long time, Jiang Wengao asked: "What about the civilians living inside? Don't we help them?"

"Limited help, neither zombies nor humans can gain too much advantage. If the balance is broken, expansion will occur. There is nothing we can do about it.

There is no need to be sentimental about such things. The annual death rate in the war zone is much higher than that in this city.

Even though more than 100,000 people live in a pile of zombies, after scientific research on survival strategies, the annual casualty rate of city residents has been reduced to 5%.

Compared with physical risks, mental damage is now more worthy of attention. "

Xia Shou frowned slightly and couldn't help complaining about Baihe in his heart.

It doesn't feel good to instill such pessimistic and negative thoughts into newcomers at the beginning.

This unsolvable weird phenomenon can easily dampen their work enthusiasm.

Goro, who was sitting opposite, immediately added: "The annual death rate of our three departments is higher than this. Relax, this city is safer than us."

"Can you talk!" Kurosawa Ye of the Ninja Wind Team cursed.

Then there was Goro's pain, and then the air was quiet.

No one spoke.

Xia Shou sighed and looked at Su Yue.

Her expression was also a little solemn, probably because she was stimulated by Goro's words.

The vibration came from under her again, and the plane slowly landed at the airport outside the city of Vogt.

The destination has arrived.
