Welcome to the 22nd century

I fell asleep trying to read the magic book and woke up the next day to Abdullah yelling "We get to see the 22nd century now!".

I was extremely confused and said "but aren't we in the 41st century?"

He said "Yes, but we are in the 21st century city, and we are going on a field trip to the 22nd century city"

I said sarcastically "Oh, I guess that makes about as much sense as Olga of Kiev complimenting my dick drawings"

Then I heard a knock on my door

I opened the door and saw Emrah

Emrah said "time to go on the train"

And so we went to the train station in the school and waited for a train

We saw a transparent tube and a train moving on it. It had no wheels. I recognized it as a hyperloop.

The doors of the train opened up and we saw that the inside was just one big room with a bunch of comfortable looking chairs and couches. There were also a lot of windows so that you could see the city as you passed by. Abdullah said "This is the best part, you can see everything!"

I sat down in one of the chairs and Emrah sat down next to me. The train started moving and it felt like we were floating on air.

We soon found ourselves hurtling through the city at breakneck speeds. The buildings and people outside became a blur as we sped towards our destination.

I looked out the window and saw the environment around us. For the first time I really got to look at nature in this dazzling new world.

I thought we were just in a normal temperate zone, like my hometown of Seattle. But I looked at the environment and noticed just how alien it was. Tree trunks growing out from the ocean with their branches supporting clear tubes with trains moving through them in every direction.

I noticed we weren't going straight but ascending. Then I noticed we were on a curve, and there were tubes above and below us.

It seemed we were corkscrewing up clockwise around a point to my right.

Then I looked up at the sky, and I saw what looked like a leafy barrier.

As we reached the top of the spiral, I could see the leafy barrier more clearly. It was made up of thousands of interconnected trees, and it stretched out as far as the eye could see in every direction.

Then we moved through a tube in the barrier, and I saw beyond the barrier.

We were in space.

I looked down and saw the planet below us. It was like an inflated beach ball. I looked at the center of the spiral and saw a giant spaceport with numerous craft docking and departing.

Then I asked Abdullah "We're going on a train through space?"

He replied "Yes, I watched a YouTube video on this topic. We essentially just went up a combination of a mass driver and a lofstrom loop, presumably supported by space fountains. If I'm understanding this correctly we will go on an orbital ring soon."

Suddenly I felt we started turning to the right.

I felt the train flipping upside down and found the planet was above us.

Abdullah exclaimed "We are certainly on an orbital ring now!"

I looked out the window and saw other trains on different parts of the ring. Some were going faster than us, and some were going slower. But all of them were moving at incredible speeds.

I saw one train that was going so fast that it was almost a blur. It was followed by a second train that was going even faster. Then I saw a third train that was going even faster than the second train.

It was like watching a race. The faster trains were overtaking the slower ones. But eventually, all the trains started slowing down and converging towards the center of the ring.

As we continued on our journey, I saw other trains on different parts of the ring. Some were going faster than us and some were going slower. I even saw a few trains that were stopped at stations.

I looked out the window and saw the different environments that the ring passed through. There were forests, deserts, mountains, and even oceans. I even saw a section that was entirely artificial with bright lights and cityscapes.

I was amazed at how diverse and beautiful the world was. I had never seen anything like it before.

And then I noticed something! The planet seemed to be growing further away

Abdullah said "I bet we're on an eccentric orbital. Going for escape velocity"

And then I felt the train going down, the planet quickly fell from view and I saw something else. A massive bright green sphere behind the planet.

We were on a moon all along.

Abdullah said "want to get on whether we're going to a different orbit or a Lagrange point?"

And I said "Bring it on, I bet we're going to L5!"
