Chapter 1139: 1139
In the Dark Desolate Domain, on the other side of the Thunderous Sound Mountain, the super warship Burning Prairie was struggling in the thunderstorm .
The clouds and thunders were not terrifying, but the turbulence of spiritual energy and the space gaps that occasionally appeared among it were like the fatal reefs in the shallow sea that Burning Prairie must avoid carefully . If the warship crashed into a space gap by accident and part of it was teleported to the other world, it would be the most horrible disaster .
Drowned in the endless night, Burning Prairie, which was dozens of kilometers long, was still nothing more than a canoe in the surging tides, unable to move fully at its own will . The lightning was hitting the spiritual shields and raising dazzling brilliance .
It was partly because of the crew members' lack of experience and teamwork and partly because the mainframe crystal processor was jumbled recently and not stabilized yet .
But more importantly, Burning Prairie had never been a ground warship designed for the high-gravity environment within the atmosphere .
In the Flying Star Sector, other than Iron Plateau and Spider Den, everybody lived in the starships and world fragments . Heavenly Saints City, the largest city in the Flying Star Sector, was almost a metropolis made of countless star fortresses .
In the universe, gravity was not a problem . The only thing that needed to be considered was how to generate gravity stably from inside but not how to resist it .
Burning Prairie was produced in outer space . It was a classical starship that was adapted to the environment of zero gravity and high radiation .
The strong attraction of the Heaven's Origin Planet and the complicated environment in the Dark Desolate Domain were unseen before for Burning Prairie .
However, since a lot of resource planets would have to be developed on a large scale in the competition against the Imperium of True Human Beings and many battles might be fought in the orbits of the major planets where the warships would be under the influence of gravity and weather, Burning Prairie, as the first-generation flagship of the Burning Prairie Fleet, was determined to make up for the shortcoming and educate the crew members to fight in high-gravity environments .
Therefore, the Flying Star Sector had sent Burning Prairie to the Heaven's Origin Sector and even deployed it in such a complicated environment as the Dark Desolate Domain for practical training .
Such training was quite a challenge for the crew members of Burning Prairie . The warship that was as enormous as a mountain was fluctuating up and down in the thunderstorm .
But it was quite a different view inside the warship .
Since Burning Prairie was a warship designed to cross the universe, most of the crew members would spend their entire life on it . Inevitably, they would have to consider getting married and having children on the warship .
The Flying Star Sector was even planning to produce more super-large starships that could both support 'life' and 'battles' with Burning Prairie as a sample .
Such starships were not just meant to resist the Imperium of True Human Beings .
More importantly, should the resistance fail and the Imperium of True Human Beings occupied or even destroyed the Flying Star Sector, the Heaven's Origin Sector, and the Blood Demon Sector, those super-large starships would be able to carry as many people as possible and flee deeper into the universe, turning into another 'starship civilization', a bigger, nomadic Flying Star Sector .
Everybody was saving the future based on their own experience from their own perspective in their own way . The Flying Star Sector had always been a starship civilization . It was not strange that they came up with such a backup plan .
Therefore, the middle part and the rear part of Burning Prairie was an enormous living area, where all kinds of facilities, including schools, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment places, had been established . It was an out-and-out independent town .
Other than the crew members and the boy scouts of the Burning Prairie Fleet, five thousand ordinary people had also boarded on Burning Prairie and arrived in the Heaven's Origin Sector . They were mostly the families of the crew members, volunteers, and sociologists .
If possible, more natives of the Heaven's Origin Sector would be invited to live on Burning Prairie to run the social experiment of 'starship refugees' in order to create a more comfortable living environment .
After reaching the Heaven's Origin Sector, a lot of local entertainment facilities were moved to Burning Prairie, many of which were bizarre and new to the visitors from the Flying Star Sector . Therefore, the crew members after work and the boy scouts on holiday all liked to enjoy themselves in the living area .
Despite the thunderstorm outside, the living area was still peaceful under the control of the stabilization rune arrays .
In the living area, in an alley that was full of tubes and steam, more than ten teenagers were shouting even more passionately than the thunder outside .
"Six! Six! Six! Six!"
A transparent bubble was floating in midair, in which twenty dice, ten black and ten white, were flying, rolling, and crashing . Every once in a while, several dice would be blown away .
Two young men wearing the uniform of the boy scouts stood next to the dice . One of them was tall and strong . His arms were as thick as others' thighs, and his thighs were as thick as other people's waists . He looked ferocious and intimidating .
The other guy, however, was as slim as a skeleton . His hair was dry and yellow, his eyes were bloated, and he seemed to be dying of starvation . He was like a depilated mouse .
The two of them were like a troll versus a gremlin . They both bulged their eyes and stared at the bubble . One of them was rubbing his temples, and the other was twisting fingers and making seals quickly .
The dice in the bubble, under their manipulation, were fighting like twenty soldiers .
"Give up!" the muscular teenager shouted . Another several white dice were blown away, but the bubble suddenly exploded . The remaining dice all fell to a tray below .
All the bystanders craned their heads and observed . The black dice, which belonged to the muscular teenager, had eight left, while the white dice, which belonged to the slender one, had only three . In terms of numbers, the muscular teenager had fix sixes . He was a winner either way!
