Chen Xu saw through the fogstone glasses, a world in black and white, where all the objects that could be seen were black, some deeper in color, others lighter.
Moreover, there were floating black specks in the air, which were the larger dust particles.
According to Chief Engineer He, these glasses were a first-generation product and relatively rudimentary. In the future, they could be improved to ignore the presence of floating dust.
At first, he was very unaccustomed to this perspective, having to take off the glasses after about ten minutes to rest his eyes. Over time, he adapted to them. Generally, once he put them on, he wore them for hours.
Now, what he saw were shapes of trees everywhere, and further away were undulating black lines, which were mountains.
They were traveling on a national highway, which was steep in this section. After climbing over several mountains, they'd cross the provincial border.
