Li Zhanxiong led a few people wrapped in thick coats and patrolled the launch site in a tracked armored vehicle. The brilliance of the Milky Way disappeared in the sky, and the stars were gone. Only a few faint stars that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye could still be found on the horizon. At a distance from the earth
1.5 million kilometers away, the "cloud body" spreads its huge body across the sun and the earth, completely blocking the light of life for all things on the earth, forming an unprecedented darkness.
Base
The power supply, heating and water supply to the underground city will also soon be stopped.
Wherever the pale headlights shine, frozen corpses of birds, livestock, etc. can be seen everywhere. The land is in a miserable state, and has long lost its original vitality...
According to the emergency order from superiors, the underground city of Base
The city's public spaces are already overcrowded, especially the reserves of food and drinking water. Even if they are rationed according to the minimum standards, they can only last for about another week at most. People are facing the pain of cold, hunger and disease, and are anxious, restless and fearful.
Emotions gradually emerged, making the situation more and more difficult to control. Li Zhanxiong was anxious, but he was powerless.
He looked up at the black sky and thought of the long-lost astronauts. At this moment, he really hoped to get news about the "Zhurong"! He really hoped that Gao Tianjun, Yan Shaojun and Aisen could know what was happening to the earth now.
! However, at the same time, he asked himself with great frustration: "It is already uncertain whether they will live or die... Even if they are still alive, what can they do?!"
Nanbin City is in an unprecedented predicament. This southern coastal city was hit by a blizzard for the first time in history. The subsequent freezing weather caused the city's water supply, power supply and transportation to be almost completely paralyzed. The temperature has dropped to a rare -10℃
Around the world, factories were shut down, schools were closed, shops were closed, and communities were closed... people were forced to stay at home. Under the call and organization of the government, civil servants, garrison and armed police forces took action one after another to carry out emergency rescue and deliver necessary supplies to citizens.
daily necessities.
Due to traffic interruptions, it is difficult to replenish thermal coal, and the power generation capacity of urban power plants is seriously insufficient. In order to meet the living needs of citizens in extremely cold weather, power companies can only deliver small amounts of electricity in different sections and time periods, and each household is required to use a limited amount of electricity every day.
It is only enough to maintain water boiling, cooking and adequate indoor heating.
The originally brightly lit high-rise buildings became pitch black and lifeless. The streets were deserted and without lighting. Only the occasional police car, ambulance or transport vehicle passed by, crunching on the ice and snow on the road.
OK……
The rice, noodles, oil and salt that Cao Ziming and his wife bought back on the day of the solar eclipse are now running low. There are still several boxes of compressed biscuits and canned fruits stored in the closet, and several barrels of canned water are piled in the corner, which they prepared.
It should not be used for emergency needs unless it is absolutely necessary. It is very cold in the house, and the electricity consumption limit of 1 kilowatt hour per day, except for boiling water for cooking, can only allow the air conditioner in the bedroom to be turned on for a few hours while sleeping.
Both of them and their daughter Huanhuan put on thick cotton-padded jackets and did not dare to open the windows for ventilation to prevent the cold outdoor air from pouring in. Qiqi was pregnant with her second child and her belly was very big. She had been holding it in for a long time in a closed room.
He often suffered from dizziness and nausea. Cao Ziming had no choice but to open the window of the living room balcony a small crack every once in a while, take a brief breather and then quickly close it.
The community has organized a volunteer service team, which is busy distributing supplies to residents in the community every day. Cao Ziming also signed up as a volunteer. Because the elevator is out of service, he can only climb up and down the fire-proof stairs on foot, which is very hard. Community members have praised him.
He has a spirit of helping others, but he doesn't know that he has another intention, which is to maintain the heat energy in his body through constant exercise.
Although people don't know how long such a "super solar eclipse" will last, they still persist in the darkness and wait...
Cao Ziming and Qi Qi still have confidence in Aisen, even though there has been no news from Aisen.
In the endless darkness and extreme cold, the couple prayed that Eisen was still alive and hoped that he could bring miracles to mankind...
In order to satisfy the astronauts' requests, Ivenbo agreed to take them to witness the Venusians and Martians on "Planet Nine" with their own eyes.
The astronauts followed Ai Wenbo and took the mobile cabin to another underground hall.
The rock walls here are still covered with "flowing" luminous lines, some thick and some thin. Gao Tianjun couldn't help but ask: "What are the thin luminous lines on it? Isn't it a light strip for lighting?"
"Those are all flowing information." Ai Wenbo replied. "This is the home planet of Marginal Space. All our information is on it and is completely open to the public."
During the conversation, I saw two humanoid figures, one tall and one short, appearing one after another in the luminous lines on the rock wall - they are said to be humanoid because they have the same head, torso and limbs as humans, but the facial features cannot be seen clearly.
They are almost transparent down to their feet; the luminous lines on the rock wall are intertwined and flowing inside their bodies, gradually forming colorful patches, like internal organs, but they are constantly changing shapes.
They seemed to emerge from the rock wall and came to the astronauts lightly.
Gao Tianjun and his party stared at these two humanoid figures in great amazement. Without Ai Wenbo's introduction, they already realized that they must be advanced intelligent life forms from Venus or Mars.
"Your guess is correct, they are Venusians and Martians respectively." Ivenbo told the astronauts. "Actually, they do not have specific shapes in the 'marginal space'. Today is just for you to identify them.
Only then appeared in human form."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Nan waved to them and tentatively greeted: "Hi! Hello!"
The light spots in the Venusians and Martians both flashed at the same time.
"They are happy for your arrival." Ai Wenbo's voice. "In the 'marginal space', the transmission of ideas is the only way to communicate. It's just that your level does not yet have the ability to communicate with them."
"Are they real or illusory?" Ding Yushi asked.
"You can think that this is their true image. In fact, they can have many manifestations, but in front of you, they imitate the appearance of people on Earth."
"What do they think of the 'cloud' as a deterrent?" Gao Tianjun asked Ai Wenbo, "Does 'marginal space' also believe in the existence of the 'dark forest' law in the universe? Will the 'cloud' wipe out human civilization?"
The light spot in the Venusian body flashed again, and at the same time everyone heard Ai Wenbo's voice: "There is no 'dark forest' law in the universe. It is just your human's narrow understanding of cosmic civilization! The earth is still in its original state.
The world and the food chain environment limit human evolution, as well as human moral consciousness and ethical concepts. The universe has infinite space and infinite energy. Each advanced civilization has its own way of existence, and most of them no longer have real forms.
They each take what they need and do not interfere with each other, nor do they regard eliminating each other as their own rule of survival; there is no human being in their eyes, just as dust is invisible in human eyes."
"If that's the case, then why do you want to destroy their detectors?"
"Because we are not only protecting human beings, but also protecting our own solar system. If advanced civilizations in the universe detect the energy they need in the solar system, it will naturally endanger our living space. This is why we destroy that planet
The purpose of the detector. However, despite the measures we took, we were still unable to prevent the 'cloud body' from entering."
"How did the 'cloud body' enter the solar system? Did it get in under the nose of the 'marginal space'? Why didn't they discover your existence?"
"The 'cloud body' did not pass through the Oort cloud, nor did it pass through the 'marginal space'. Near the orbit of Neptune, a wormhole connecting to the high-dimensional universe appeared. Although we discovered its existence, we did not have the ability to block it.
.The 'cloud body' enters the solar system from there."
"In other words, the 'cloud body' came to the solar system from another 'parallel space' through the wormhole of the high-dimensional universe?" Gao Tianjun said.
"The form of life in the 'cloud body' can travel anywhere in the multi-dimensional universe. 'Marginal Space' believes that their entry into the solar system should be an accident."
"Accident?! Why?"
"The solar system is too small for them! Moreover, since they are looking for the detector, it means that they have not yet obtained the solar system information collected by the detector. They should not have come prepared. Therefore, we believe that they were accidentally trapped by the wormhole
Sent here!"
"I seem to have seen that wormhole!" Eisen said thoughtfully, "The first time I interacted with the 'cloud body', a rotating starry sky like a kaleidoscope appeared in front of me. At that time, I thought it was a black hole.
…Can we go there?”
"A wormhole may be a high-dimensional space."
"We have also experienced similar high-dimensional space in the 'cloud body'..."
"It should be that the consciousness of the 'cloud body' has protected your spaceship. They have never thought of destroying you. But in the wormhole, everything will exist in the form of information. When lower-level beings get there, their bodies will
It will completely die out.”
Eisen looked at Ai Wenbo and the two transparent humanoids: "Is that wormhole still there?"
"It's ever-changing! Parallel spaces move in interweaving and entanglement, and the same goes for wormholes, which we can't see. But unlike you, the 'marginal space' can be felt. Although the wormhole and the high-dimensional space are in
The clouds closed after entering the solar system, but new wormholes continue to appear. They will continuously send new matter and energy to the solar system, and at the same time absorb the matter and energy of the solar system. The reason why you
If you can't find any changes in matter and energy in this space, that's because these matter and energy are almost impossible to detect and sense by you. This is the dark matter and dark energy that you have begun to realize. This is how the universe circulates.
Eternal change.”
"Why can we see 'clouds'? Are they life or energy?"
"They are both life and an energy form. What you see is the projection of intelligent life forms of this high-dimensional universe in our three-dimensional space. They are not restricted by any laws in the solar system."
"Projection of high-dimensional life... wormhole... channel..." Eisen murmured to himself. "I hope one day, we can see the power hidden behind it... maybe... we can become that power!"
The light spots in the bodies of Venusians and Martians flickered again, this time with a faster frequency and a longer duration.
"Child! They know what you are thinking!" Ai Wenbo stretched out a hand to Eisen and gently stroked the top of his head. "I am happy for you! But how to implement your plan must be carefully considered!"
Everyone focused their attention on Aisen.
Ding Yushi was even more stunned - she had received the transmission of Aisen's thoughts and knew that he wanted to sacrifice himself in exchange for human living space. Moreover, once this plan was implemented, it would not be good for him, for humans on earth, and even for humans on earth.
For the civilization of the solar system, it will be an ultimate game, life or death, and cannot be changed!
"Are you really planning to return to the 'Cloud Body'? Are you sure it's still safe there? Aisen, this may be an adventure with no retreat!" she said to Aisen.
"Humanity and 'marginal space' have no retreat now!" Ai Wenbo's sonorous voice echoed in the astronauts' heads, "Only the courage to fight to the death and the transcendental will can win the last chance of survival!"
Gao Tianjun looked at Yan Shaojun and then at Lawrence, but he couldn't find the answer in their eyes. So he walked up to Ding Yushi and asked seriously: "What kind of plan does Aisen have?"
"Creating something out of nothing, driving the tiger away from the mountain..." Ding Yushi replied thoughtfully.
Gao Tianjun thought about it, then slowly turned to Eisen and patted him on the shoulder: "Eisen, this is not your mission alone. Tell me, what do you need us to do?"
"Not needed yet, thank you!" Eisen lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Facing his grandfather and the two transparent figures, he conveyed a firm idea to them: "I need to find a special space and the ability to reach it from the solar system.
