Chapter 7127
In the waiting room, Buzzner, who was scheduled to travel to Kathmandu,
Was the first to be notified that he could board.
A beautiful ground staff member approached him and respectfully said in Chinese,
βMr. Wu, your plane is ready for boarding.β
βWe have a car to take you to the gate.β
βWould you like to depart now or wait a little longer?β
The three elders of the Wu family had spent a century in seclusion. Though they crammed a lot of common sense about the world afterward,
They couldnβt learn foreign languages in a short time.
Fortunately, Revender was considerate of these elders,
He had arranged for a Chinese-speaking staff member to assist them in advance.
Buzzner asked the staff member,
βHow long can I wait at most?β
The staff member said, βCurrently, your plane has just started notifying business and first class passengers to board.β
βEconomy class passengers are expected to board in ten minutes.β
βWe will use the VIP passage from the VIP terminal to go directly to the aircraft jet bridge,β
βSo you can wait with your friend for a maximum of twenty minutes.β
Buzzner nodded and said,
βThen come pick me up in twenty minutes.β
βOkay,β
The staff member said respectfully.
βMr. Wu, please have a seat.β
βIβll be back in twenty minutes.β
The staff member turned and left.
Buzzner looked at his boarding pass, which was covered in English and Arabic numerals,
And sighed to the other two elders,
βThe world changes so fast!β
βBack then, a trip from Suzhou and Hangzhou to the capital by canal would take three to four months.β
βStarting in early March and ending in late June.β
βTwo thousand li of waterway!β
βNow, it only takes two hours by plane.β
Bowen smiled and said, βBack then,β
βWe didnβt even know the Earth was round.β
βLater, Revender told me the Earth is a large sphere,β
βAnd that even if you go south and north, youβll eventually circle back to the other side.β
βI thought that ba5tard was just teasing me.β
βIf it were trueβ¦β
βEarth is a ball, wouldnβt people on the other side of the Earth fall off?β
βI only realized it after seeing it with my own eyes on a plane last time.β
He then looked at Brovnen and sm
βSenior Brother, now that youβre going to Antarctica,β
βAfter you pass that South Pole, will you be able to return to China?β
Brovnen smiled and nodded, saying,
βI scribbled a few lines on a globe.β
βRoughly speaking, the Earth looks like a red lantern hanging up.β
βThe South Pole is at the bottom, like where the tassels are hanging,β
βAnd the North Pole is at the top,β
βLike the end of the rope hanging the lantern.β
βNo matter which pole you stand on,β
βAs long as you choose the right direction, you can go anywhere.β
Bowen gave a thumbs up:
βSenior Brother is truly amazing; heβs always more diligent than us.β
βHa,β Brovnen waved his hand modestly,
βItβs nothing much, I just happened to get a globe from Revender,β
βAnd I fiddled with it a bit like a toy.β
Buzzner, standing beside him, said,
βSenior Brother, the Antarctic youβre going to this time,β
βAlthough not too far away, is said to be the harshest place on Earth, nothing grows there.β
βYou must be extra careful!β
Brovnen smiled and said, βWith the cultivation levels of the three of us,β
βAs long as we donβt go to the Ten Thousand Mountains or provoke those national armies,β
βWe shouldnβt encounter any danger anywhere.β
Buzzner sighed, βSpeaking of armies,β
βThe artillery these days is far more advanced than the artillery of the Eight-Nation Alliance back then.β
βWith our cultivation levels, we could hardly withstand the Red-Clad Warriors of the pastβ¦β
βCannons were easy to use,β
βBut modern artillery fire is incredibly cunning and deceptive.β
βThey say those high-temperature armor-piercing shells can melt even the best steel when they explode.β
βNo matter how thick your steel is, they can still burn a hole in it.β
βEven if we had three heads and six arms, we couldnβt withstand that thing.β
βEven a wise ruler couldnβt, right?β
Brovnen nodded and cautioned, βYou must be extra careful this time you enter the world.β
βItβs said that a certain earl was turned into mincemeat by close-in weapon systems.β
βThose things can chase after you,β
βNot only are they lightning fast, but they can also predict your trajectory.β
βBefore you even arrive, theyβve already fired dozens or even hundreds of shells towards where youβre going.β
βThereβs no way to defend against that.β
The two nodded frantically.
In fact, the more the three of them learned about modern society,
The greater their sense of disillusionment became.
Brovnen murmured and sighed softly,
βTo be honest, before I went into seclusion, I thought that after I came out, I would be able to roam the world without fear.β
βI never expected that in the past hundred years, although our cultivation has improved a lot,β
βThe world has improved even more.β
βThink about it, a hundred years ago, a cannonball could only destroy a small boat or a house at most.β
βBut in 1945, 80 years ago, an atomic bomb could destroy a city.β
βFifteen or sixteen years later, a Soviet hydrogen bomb was equivalent to two or three thousand of those nuclear bombs from 1945.β
βIt is said that this was a castrated version they made because they were afraid that the power would be too great,β
βAnd the power was only 30% of the original designβ¦β
At this point, Brovnen asked rhetorically,
βTell me, in the face of such world-destroying weapons, what the hell are cultivators?β
βEven before the end of the Dharma era, if all the cultivators from all the sects were gathered together,β
βAfter one hydrogen bomb, let alone anyone surviving, having a whole corpse would be a testament to their extraordinary cultivation.β
βYes,β
Bowen said with a chuckle.
βPerhaps those ascended cultivators can also destroy the heavens and the earth,β
βBut we were born at the wrong time.β
βIn this Dharma-ending Age, weβll never be able to cultivate to the point of transcending tribulation and ascending in our lifetime.β
Brovnen countered with a question:
βWhat do you think ascension was before the Dharma-ending Age?β
Bowen replied, βWhat else could it be?β
βLike the Western Paradise that Buddha spoke of, going directly to another world.β
Brovnen then asked another question:
βWhere is that other world after ascension?β
Bowen spread his hands: βWho knows?β
βWeβve never been there. Maybe other planets.β
