fountain of heaven 阿瑟·克拉克 897Words 2018-03-14
The huge artificial lake, known as the Balawana Sea for two thousand years, is quietly lying under the eyes of the stone statue of its creator.Although, for a long time, only a few people have come to visit the lonely statue of Karidasa's father, but the project he created has outlived the longevity; because the Barawana Sea has provided food and drink for hundreds of generations, it has given the The benefits of this country are innumerable.And generations of birds, goats, buffaloes, monkeys, and beasts of prey such as the sleek, sly leopard, are now drinking from its banks to quench their thirst.These great felines had multiplied too much; and now, when the hunters who had once made them fearful were dead, the beasts were a nuisance to all.Of course, they wouldn't attack people if they weren't provoked or offended.

A leopard, confident in its own safety, was walking leisurely. At that time, twilight was gradually rising from the east.Suddenly, the leopard became alert.At this time, the dull human senses have not noticed any changes between the heaven and the earth at all.As usual, the dusk hour always seemed extraordinarily peaceful. Then, there was a faint whistling sound directly from the high altitude, and gradually, this whistling sound turned into a violent roar that had nothing in common with the noise made by the spaceship entering the atmosphere.High in the sky, in the afterglow of the sun, there was a metallic gleam; the gleam was growing brighter, and behind it trailed a long line of black smoke.At that moment, the object exploded, and the wreckage fell, flaming fragments flying hissing in all directions.During these few seconds, if one's eyes were as sharp as a leopard's, one would probably be able to see that cylindrical thing split into countless pieces in an instant.It's just that the leopard didn't wait until the incident was over, it had already disappeared in the tropical jungle.

A thunderbolt from the blue hit the Baravana Sea.A hot fountain with a height of 100 meters and water foam mixed with mud rose in the air - it far exceeded the fountain of Jacques Kajara and almost reached the height of the Devil's Cliff.Defying gravity defiantly, the hot geyser hangs in the air for a second before falling back into the churned-up lake. The air was filled with swarms of swimming birds fleeing for their lives in panic, and a swarm of giant bats that looked like pterodactyls that had inadvertently intruded into modern life.Birds and bats were frightened and panicked, and a tumultuous battle for the sky was launched among them.

After the last echo of the thunder disappeared in the tropical jungle, the surroundings of the artificial lake sank into silence again; only the lake surface continued to fluctuate, and under the blind eyes of the great Balawana, the thin ripples back and forth.
