"Zhurong Hao" is trapped in endless darkness. At this moment, it seems to be the whole world. There are only 5 people in this "world". Yan Shaojun, Gao Tianjun, Ding Yushi, Zhang Nan, Lawrence, they are
The lone survivor in this world.
There is a dim light in the cabin, and you can barely see the figures around you. The spacecraft has long lost power, and the lighting system cannot be restored, but there is this kind of dim light in this small space. It is really mysterious and weird.
.
Ding Yushi thought of the "Escape Room" game she had played when she was in high school - in a dark room, several familiar playmates had to work together to find the hidden mechanism to escape - what was in front of her
The scene is almost exactly the same. The difference is that in the game she is the player's character, but now she and her teammates are just living "props", and the player is outside the darkness!
No one has spoken for a long time, and the atmosphere in the cabin is extremely depressing...
Yan Shaojun stared intently at the dark space outside the porthole. She was always looking forward to a miracle. When she drove the "Kunlun" into the black barrier of Mercury, she once faced the same situation. Fortunately, a star appeared.
The red light points guided them out of the darkness.
"I really hope that red light spot can appear again today!" She secretly prayed in her heart.
As if with divine help, Yan Shaojun finally saw a thin red line in the darkness - it was a trace of red light!
"Did you see anything?" she cried excitedly.
Everyone was startled by her cry. Gao Tianjun stared at her closely and asked alertly: "Shaojun, what's wrong with you? What did you see?"
"There's something outside the spaceship!"
Gao Tianjun and others immediately approached the portholes next to them and tried their best to look outside, but it was still dark there and nothing could be seen.
"I just saw a red light spot!" Yan Shaojun said. "Just like what I encountered when I experienced the black barrier of Mercury! Zhang Nan, did you see it?"
"No!" Zhang Nan replied while continuing to search outside.
"Young Master, did you hallucinate just now?" Gao Tianjun was a little worried. He knew in his heart that in such an environment, even the strongest-willed person may suffer a mental breakdown.
"Tianjun, please believe me! I have been paying attention to the outside. That couldn't be an illusion just now!" Yan Shaojun tried to stay calm. Although she was also worried about whether her consciousness was starting to become disordered, she would never give up easily.
The hope in my heart, and I don’t want to waver the will of my teammates.
Another thin red line crossed the window! This time everyone saw it!
"There is indeed a red dot!" Zhang Nan shouted.
The red light spot circled around the hull of the "Zhurong" several times and finally stopped in front of it.
"'Zhurong', start the propulsion system!" Yan Shaojun gave the order, but there was no response from the spacecraft's AI control system.
The astronauts looked at the red light spot outside the porthole in front of the spacecraft, as if they were looking at an out-of-reach beacon. They were anxious, nervous and anxious, but also suffered from helplessness.
The red dot began to grow rapidly until it turned into a red mist, wrapping the "Zhurong Hao"...
"Same as last time! We can be saved!" Yan Shaojun said happily.
Before he finished speaking, everyone felt the spacecraft shake slightly, and then the red light disappeared.
A spectacular picture of the galaxy instantly appears outside the porthole window!
"Are we out yet?" Ding Yushi asked.
Yan Shaojun, Gao Tianjun and others silently stared at the deep starry sky. An unprecedented sense of awe arose in their hearts. No one answered Ding Yushi's question.
The floodlight in the cabin gradually dimmed. Yan Shaojun instinctively pressed the power button, the lighting system miraculously recovered, and the instruments lit up one by one! She hesitated for a moment, sat upright, took a few deep breaths, and suppressed
He suppressed his inner excitement, and then issued an instruction to the AI control system in as calm a tone as possible:
"'Zhurong Hao', start the propulsion system!"
"Roger! The spacecraft propulsion system is activated!" the AI replied.
The hull shook slightly again. The instrument showed that the propeller had been started and was working normally.
A pleased smile appeared on Yan Shaojun's face, and she began to check the instrument data one by one.
"The spacecraft has lost its position information!" Zhang Nan suddenly exclaimed, "Report to the captain that the 'Zhurong' is no longer in the orbit of Saturn! And...Saturn has disappeared!"
Yan Shaojun also discovered an anomaly at this moment - the starry sky map had undergone fundamental changes. Not only had Saturn and its satellites visible to the naked eye disappeared, but even the sun, which was more than a billion kilometers away, had also disappeared! The surroundings were completely unfamiliar.
Universe space!
"Ah? Where are we?!" Yan Shaojun felt his head buzzing, almost exploding.
"What's going on?" Gao Tianjun asked alertly, "Have we entered another time and space again?"
"It's still unclear..." Yan Shaojun quickly switched the control system to manual mode and repeatedly checked the instrument parameters. "Is there something wrong with the AI system?"
"The time seems to have not changed!" Ding Yushi looked at the atomic clock. The number displayed on it was still "00:00" and it was motionless!
"Has the signal in the control center been restored?" Yan Shaojun asked.
"Still not." Zhang Nan replied. "No signal at all!"
Yan Shaojun thought for a moment, then switched the control system to AI mode again, and issued the command: "'Zhurong,' immediately retrieve the 3D interstellar coordinates!"
"3D Interstellar Coordinates" is a navigation positioning software provided by NASA specifically for spacecraft of the United Space Fleet. It is based on the observation data of the stars in the universe from the two space telescopes Kepler and Webb, combined with the Voyager 1 probe along the way.
The 3D interstellar coordinate system integrated with the returned parameter variables can be effectively used within the solar system. Since the mission of the United Space Fleet only reaches the orbit of Saturn, none of the spacecraft has enabled this system.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now, when the "Zhurong Hao" has completely lost its direction, Yan Shaojun only thought of it.
However, this 3D interstellar coordinates are completely different from the space environment the spacecraft is currently in, and cannot serve as a reference positioning at all.
Yan Shaojun and Zhang Nan were at a loss when faced with this strange phenomenon. They did not believe that there was a huge deviation in the coordinate system, which was hailed as the "space pilot" by NASA, but the reality was that there were many things in the celestial sphere that they were familiar with.
The stars have indeed been displaced to a greater or lesser extent!
She fixed her gaze on several stars in an area in the deep sky. Even though their relative positions had changed significantly, Yan Shaojun could still tell that it was the well-known constellation Orion. She looked diagonally downward along the direction of Orion.
, she found the brightest star.
"Sirius!" Yan Shaojun muttered silently in her heart. She suddenly felt that this star looked a little different from before: not only was its brightness significantly enhanced, but it also seemed to be getting bigger!
"There is only one reason that can cause obvious changes in the brightness and size of stars, and that is the change in distance! Since Sirius cannot be close to the solar system, then the 'Zhurong' must be approaching it!" Yan Shaojun shuddered.
Gao Tianjun saw that Yan Shaojun had been thinking deeply and his expression was solemn. He felt something was wrong, so he asked: "Shaojun, what are you thinking about? Is there something wrong?"
"Tianjun, I suspect... we are no longer in the solar system, and may be very far away from it!" Yan Shaojun murmured.
Gao Tianjun was stunned.
"We are not in the solar system now?!" Ding Yushi said in surprise, "How is this possible? Even if the 'Zhurong' flies at the speed of light, it will take a year to leave the solar system, right?!"
"We are not flying ourselves, this should be caused by space transformation!" Gao Tianjun said, turning to Lawrence, "Mr. Lawrence, is our current time and space still real?"
"Unfortunately, Mr. Gao Tianjun, there is only space here, not time!" Lawrence replied, staring at the row of stationary clock readings.
The joy of getting rid of the "cloud body" was gone at this moment. Everyone looked towards the deep sky and stared at the dazzling Sirius.
Ding Yushi suddenly thought of Eisen. Since the "Zhurong" is outside the solar system, where is Eisen?
She closed her eyes and quietly recalled Aisen's appearance, hoping to establish a mental interaction with him. However, she could only play back the frames of Aisen in her mind according to her own imagination, but could not receive any messages from him.
His autonomous idea. She was disappointed.
"Should we go back to the solar system?" she asked with a trembling voice. In fact, she had realized that if they were really in a space outside the solar system now, then even if the "Zhurong" could return to the solar system, they would not be able to return to the solar system.
Limited life cannot penetrate the Oort cloud with a radius of 1 light-year!
They may not be able to return to Saturn or Earth!
"We can't find the direction of the sun..." Zhang Nan said frustratedly.
From the moment Yan Shaojun told everyone that they were no longer in the solar system, Zhang Nan was anxiously looking for the direction home. However, whether it was visual observation of the starry sky or searching through the 3D interstellar coordinate system,
It is impossible to find the location of the solar system. The boundless universe, the dazzling Milky Way, and countless stars, but I don’t know which star is the sun that gave birth to human civilization...
"It's meaningless to find it!" Gao Tianjun said. "Even if the 'Zhurong' flies at its highest speed, it will take more than 500 years to pass through the Oort cloud! It can't fly back, and we can't go back!"
"If we only look at it from the perspective of physics and life sciences, we really have nothing to do." Lawrence said. "But can we go back to the original concept?!"
Gao Tianjun and others all turned their attention to Lawrence. They seemed to suddenly realize that this immortal man with extraordinary abilities might be the pinnacle of their hope!
"I'm very sorry! There's nothing I can do at the moment," Lawrence spread his hands and said, "I just don't want to disappoint you. At this moment, everyone needs to have firm faith! Please allow me to think about the bright side: Since that magical red
The light point guides us through the boundary of the Oort cloud to the cosmic space 1 light-year away, so why can't it lead us back again?!"
"You mean, our hope lies in that mysterious point of light?" Gao Tianjun asked.
"Maybe it's it, maybe it's Eisen, maybe... it's the mysterious unknown in the universe!" Lawrence answered slowly.
"Can we still wait for Eisen? Outside the solar system?" Gao Tianjun continued to ask.
"The key element of the word 'wait' is 'time'. We don't care about 'time' now!" Lawrence said meaningfully.
