Aisen woke up from his dream and was still sitting in the cabin of the "Zhurong". Ding Yushi was sitting next to him, holding his hand tightly. Aisen looked around and everyone was looking at him.
He wanted to confirm what he had just experienced, so he turned and looked outside the porthole. It was dark outside.
"Are you awake?" Ding Yushi said with relief. "What have you experienced?"
Eisen did not answer immediately, but looked at everyone and asked: "Are we in the 'cloud body'?"
"It cannot be proven now," Yan Shaojun said. "It seems that at the moment when the spacecraft was supposed to enter the 'cloud body', all of us suffered a brief amnesia."
Aisen turned to Ding Yushi and asked: "Whether you were awake or hallucinating just now, have you always been holding my hand like this?"
"Yeah, I feel like I've been holding your hand."
"What else did you realize?"
"I seem to have seen something... there is the Summer Solstice, there is Deng Kai, and there is celestial body No. 52156XK-1... In short, it is very messy and the impression is not clear."
"I was only aware of Yu Shi just now," Aisen said to Gao Tianjun and Yan Shaojun. "I didn't see all of you, and I didn't feel your presence. Were you able to see me and Yu Shi just now? You guys
Can you sense our presence? This is important."
"I didn't see you and Yu Shi." Gao Tianjun replied. "Maybe I didn't focus on you. All I saw were fragmentary scenes that happened in the past."
Yan Shaojun lowered her head. She did not tell Aisen that she was only thinking about Deng Kai at that time.
"Fortunately, everyone is still safe and sound," Aisen said. "I just tried to interact with the 'Cloud Brain'. Although I can't see it, I can receive its mental information. Moreover, I can also control it.
own consciousness."
"How powerful do you think it is?" Gao Tianjun asked, "Do you feel threatened by it?"
"They belong to intelligent life forms in high-dimensional space. There is a huge level difference between us and them. However, during the entire interaction, I did not feel threatened. And... I believe they will give us a chance. They enter the solar system
Although it is to absorb energy, there are still many areas in our space that are unknown to them. They seem to be looking for the 52156XK-1 celestial body that disappeared more than two years ago, which is their three-dimensional space detector."
"Is the celestial body No. 52156XK-1 a detector sent from high-dimensional space?" Gao Tianjun said thoughtfully, "Can life in high-dimensional space detect low-dimensional space and enter it in the form of low-dimensional objects? This is hard to imagine!"
"I don't understand either. But it is determined to find that celestial body, so I suspect that they still have unknown areas in our space. Maybe that celestial body stores all the information in this space, and they can only master it by recycling it.
information."
"You just said that you believe they will give us a chance. What do you mean?" Yan Shaojun asked.
"I proposed to exchange with them - I suddenly wanted to test it out. I didn't think about the specific exchange. I just told it that we have their unknown. I just said this, and the interaction with it was just
Then it stopped. Does this mean that it needs to think about my proposal and the interaction is only temporarily suspended?"
"Is it waiting for you to play your cards?" Lawrence asked.
"We are waiting for each other to play cards!" Eisen replied.
Yan Shaojun turned his gaze to the outside of the spacecraft. There was nothing there, not even time. In this void, still space, only the light of consciousness was flashing...
"There's something on the monitor!" Zhang Nan suddenly exclaimed.
Yan Shaojun and Gao Tianjun heard the sound and looked towards the monitor. They saw a vague image on the screen, but they couldn't see what it was. Yan Shaojun checked other instruments, but there was still no reading, and the time was still static. Only the monitor
The image on it is flickering and shaking.
"That's the 'Fuxi'!" Eisen's consciousness has shown its complete outline. "They are starting to play their cards!"
The image quickly became clear. It was indeed the image of the "Fuxi"! Its outer shell looked very dilapidated, as if it had been damaged by space matter.
"Where is it?!" Yan Shaojun asked eagerly. "Can the radar detect its existence?"
"The radar is not working and cannot detect it, and astronomical telescopes and cameras cannot see it!" Zhang Nan replied, "It may be just a virtual image..."
"It's not a virtual image," Eisen said, "it's the way it exists in this space."
"'This space'?" Gao Tianjun repeated the word.
"We are in a high-dimensional space and cannot perceive its dimensions, but our consciousness is still in the three-dimensional space. What the 'Cloud Brain' shows us is the three-dimensional projection of the 'Fuxi'."
"I just saw 'Express No. 1' in my dream!" Yan Shaojun said. "I believe it was driven by my subjective thoughts. At that time, I also entered the cabin of 'Express No. 1', and
I saw Deng Kai...but everything there was still. Now that we all have seen the 'Fuxi Horn', is this the result of our common thoughts?"
"No. This is the message sent to us by the 'Cloud Brain'. I guess it wants to understand the purpose of our trip. If we want to enter the 'Fuxi' together, we need to form a common idea."
"'Fuxi' can only carry three astronauts, and we can't all go in."
"Then it's up to me, Aisen and Zhang Nan to go!" Gao Tianjun said decisively. "Shaojun, you stay on the 'Zhurong' with Yu Shi and Lawrence."
"I..." Ding Yushi stopped talking.
"You need to stay." Gao Tianjun understood Ding Yushi's thoughts. "You and Aisen can communicate with each other mentally. I'm worried that the 'Fuxi' is in another parallel space. After we pass there, at least we can communicate with you at any time."
Report the situation over there to Shaojun."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What is a common idea?" Zhang Nan asked Aisen.
"We just need to focus our thoughts on the 'Fuxi' and the three of us, and don't think about all other people and things."
"I have a feeling," Lawrence said with a frown, "that there seems to be something else in that space..."
"What are you referring to?" Gao Tianjun asked. "Is it a spacecraft? Or a sign of life?"
Lawrence looked at Eisen and asked: "Mr. Eisen, don't you feel it?"
"I'm sorry, my mind is still a little confused right now..." Aisen frowned a little, seeming to be troubled by something.
In fact, he has already felt that some kind of information is emerging continuously, which is very messy. But at this moment, he is focusing his efforts on the "Fuxi Horn". These unexpected messages are like some mixed in the symphony performance in the theater.
There was a faint human voice, and for a moment I couldn't tell what it was.
"It's a sign of life!" Lawrence said cautiously. "In other words, it's a subjective idea derived from life. It exists in that space!"
According to Eisen's request, Gao Tianjun and Zhang Nan closed their eyes, calmed down, and focused their awareness on the cabin structure of the "Fuxi" - which they were relatively familiar with. Soon, the space in their consciousness
A transformation began to occur, and then "entered" the spacecraft.
Aisen, by establishing a "common dream" with Gao Tianjun, allowed his consciousness to enter the "Fuxi" along with the two of them.
"Fuxi" is the first generation of ultra-long-range spacecraft, and its sister ship is the "Kunlun" that later carried out the Mercury exploration mission. Since it was an unmanned test flight that year, the cabin structure of "Fuxi" is different from that of this "Fuxi" mission.
The "Zhurong" of the "Amazon Butterfly" project is very different. Not only is the hull long and narrow, but it is also equipped with a backup automatic control system, so the cabin space is very cramped.
The surrounding images were very dim, but the layout of the cabin could be vaguely distinguished. The three people stood there and looked at each other for a while. Each person's eyes showed some trance and confusion, as if they were confused about the environment and environment they were in.
They expressed doubts about the purpose of coming here. However, in their subconscious, they still felt the pull of some indescribable idea.
Eisen was the first to react. He asked Gao Tianjun and Zhang Nan: "Are we already on the 'Fuxi'? Is its condition still normal?"
"All the equipment on the spacecraft has obviously stopped working." Zhang Nan said, walking to the bridge. "I'll see if I can restart it first."
"Wait!" Gao Tianjun stopped him, and then turned to Eisen, "Eisen, are you sure this is real and operable?"
"Everything here is virtual relative to 'Zhurong Hao', but it is real to us." Aisen murmured. "We have been separated from 'Zhurong Hao'! Now we can't see it because it is relatively
For us, we are also in a virtual space. Even if we can activate the 'Fuxi Hao', I haven't figured out a way to return to the 'Fuxi Hao' space yet."
"You can take this spaceship out." A voice suddenly came from the cabin, startling the three of them. "But do you need to tell me what the unknown is?"
Gao Tianjun looked at Eisen: "Whose voice is this? Is it...its?"
"It is it." Eisen "But before telling it that it is unknown, I need to know the whereabouts of celestial body No. 52156XK-1."
"Why must we find that star? What it wants now is the unknown."
"Because the 'unknown' is the hope for human survival!" Eisen whispered to Gao Tianjun in a low voice.
Gao Tianjun didn't understand, but he didn't think about it any more. Now the only bet for mankind is Eisen!
"The star you are looking for is in the 'marginal space'!" Eisen raised his head and answered loudly.
"'Marginal space'..." the voice repeated.
"'Marginal space' is your unknown territory!"
Just after Aisen said these words, he disappeared from the eyes of Gao Tianjun and Zhang Nan...
When Gao Tianjun and Zhang Nan opened their eyes again, they found that they were still sitting in the cockpit of the "Zhurong", their bodies tightly buckled by their seat belts. The first thing they did when they woke up was to look for Aisen.
Shi Yanshaojun and Ding Yushi looked as confused and uneasy as they did...
Aisen has disappeared on the "Zhurong"!
At the X base control center, Li Zhanxiong was awakened by the alarm. From the day the "Zhurong" lost contact, he had not gone home to sleep for 50 days in a row. In order to get the news about the "Zhurong" as soon as possible, he specially asked someone to
There is a folding bed placed in a corner of the control center, where you can rest when you feel tired or sleepy.
The control center was still quiet. On the big screen was the picture of Saturn taken and transmitted back by Tiangong. Due to the "cloud body", the image was a bit hazy, especially the rings of Saturn. It seemed that the "cloud body" did not want to let
Humans on earth know what they will look like after "transforming" Saturn - Li Zhanxiong thinks so.
The big screen switched to an extravehicular image of a spacecraft, which was taken by the camera of the "Gagarin". At this time, it had left the orbit of Saturn and was staying in space 15 million kilometers away. After emergency communication between CNSA and RKA
, after the "Zhurong" entered the "cloud body" of Saturn and lost contact, the "Gagarin" first evacuated to a safe airspace and was on standby, and was ready to respond to the "Zhurong" at any time.
The two spaceships "New Enterprise" and "Planet Guardian" have never appeared again. They now seem to have completely disappeared from people's hearts.
Li Zhanxiong and others analyzed the signals sent back by the "Zhurong" before entering the "cloud body" and found out that the two European and American spacecrafts were cleared by the "cloud body brain" after they mistakenly thought they were attacking. Therefore, they also
I am sweating for "Zhuronghao".
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the past few days, Li Zhanxiong and his colleagues at the base have been spending every day in suffering.
Is the "Amazon Butterfly" plan formulated by the pan-regional cooperation organization a failure, or is there still a glimmer of opportunity? Now we can only wait and see whether "Zhuronghao" can appear again!
During this period, the base received the latest astronomical photos taken by Tiangong from CNSA. The content of the photos shocked Li Zhanxiong - in the space millions of kilometers outside the sun's corona, "clouds" seemed to be pulling
Four or five slender "cotton strips" appeared, as if to circle the yellow dwarf star! After that, the pan-regional cooperation organization also sent a message and a NASA space telescope picture, confirming the incident discovered by Tiangong.
"They are weaving a 'Dyson sphere', and the sun is about to be wrapped by a 'cloud body'..."
"The 'cloud body' is competing with humans for solar energy, and humans are obviously unable to compete with it..."
"The earth's life will end much earlier than human scientists expected..."
Many professional media and self-media began to exaggerate this incident, which made the society already in panic and turmoil even worse. However, the incident of the "Cloud Body" building a "Dyson Sphere" near the sun has put a damper on the upcoming "Mars Immigration Plan"
"Throwing a basin of cold water on it finally paralyzed this plan that had been criticized and ridiculed...
Now, the world's attention is focused on the "Gagarin" spacecraft, the only remaining spacecraft of the "Amazon Butterfly" project. Although this spacecraft is now left alone in the distant space more than one billion kilometers away, people know in their hearts that
After the other three spacecrafts disappeared or lost contact, the "Gagarin" did not return. It must have its mission - it was waiting to pick up the "Zhurong".
Li Zhanxiong knew in his heart that only the "Zhurong" could carry the last hope of all mankind.
When he was woken up by the alarm for the 50th time, the control center finally stopped repeating the monotony of the past. The chief of staff came over and reported to him: "Jacob suddenly arrived at the base last night. He said he must see you!"
"Jacob?! Why is he coming to the base at this time?"
