Comprehensive Laboratory of the Astronaut Physical Fitness Center of Base
There are several small instruments placed, and against the opposite wall is a whole wall of data processing terminals. Between the laboratory and the corridor outside, there is a partition composed of a single piece of floor-to-ceiling glass. Standing in the corridor outside,
You can clearly observe the situation inside.
There are already five or six researchers in white coats waiting in the laboratory.
"This laboratory can be said to be the most advanced in the world!" Ding Yushi introduced to Eisen, with a hint of pride on her lips. "You will lie on the chair to rest later and try to relax yourself. We are going to give
You do a hypnosis experiment. Please give us your mobile phone for safekeeping first."
Aisen handed the phone to Ding Yushi, then looked at the furnishings in the laboratory curiously, and finally his eyes fell on the recliner. He asked: "In front of so many of you...what if I can't sleep?" "Don't worry, we have a sleep aid system that can help you fall asleep quickly! This set of equipment is not available to ordinary people!" Ding Yushi said, handing Aisen's mobile phone to the assistant, and asked the assistant to take it.
It is put into a small shielding box.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses guided Eisen to lie down on the recliner. Through the open collar of his white coat, Eisen saw the sky blue air force uniform and golden olive branch collar inside.
The man wearing glasses asked his two assistants to help Eisen put on a helmet made of flexible material. Eisen did not feel any discomfort at all. The assistants carefully connected the dense data cables on the helmet to the small instrument next to the recliner.
Above. Finally, the man wearing glasses picked up a huge eyepatch and said to Eisen:
"Mr. Eisen, if you are ready, we will put on this sleeping eye mask for you."
"I seem a little nervous!" Eisen muttered.
The man wearing glasses smiled: "Don't be nervous, this is just a hypnotic device, just like the one you wear when playing VR games. It will not have any impact on your body."
"Is there a picture in this?"
"Yes. But it may be a bit monotonous, just to help you fall asleep as soon as possible."
The man wearing glasses helped Aisen put on the sleep-aid eye mask and asked again: "How do you feel? Are you feeling well?"
Eisen's eyes went dark, and he gave a thumbs up to indicate there was no problem.
"Okay!" He heard the man saying, "Ding Bo, let's start now!"
A starry sky appeared in front of Eisen's eyes, and then, a burst of soothing and ethereal music began to swirl in his mind...
"Can this thing really make me fall asleep?" Driven by curiosity and a joking mentality, he planned to keep himself awake as much as possible and enjoy the feeling of traveling in space accompanied by beautiful music.
The rhythm of the music rises and falls slowly, and it feels like a child's hand is gently playing with the chords of the wind. The endless stars are drifting slowly with dim halos, they are so far away...
Eisen couldn't help but think of the scene when he was a child, lying in his grandfather's arms and looking up at the night sky. His grandfather would often point to the stars in the sky while patiently telling him the names of those stars. Eisen still remembered that when he was a child, he often followed
Ai Bin argued endlessly over the name of a certain star. As a result, he was the one who was wrong almost every time, so he was criticized a lot by his grandfather...
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of Eisen's eyes, which made him unable to open his eyes. He subconsciously raised his hand to block the light and saw a blurry figure. When the light gradually dissipated, he finally saw the person in front of him clearly.
——It’s Ai Bin!
Eisen felt as if his brain had been cleaned instantly. There was no universe, no stars, no music, and only darkness around him. He didn't know how he got here - if this endless black space was still there
If it can be labeled as "here" - I have forgotten the wonderful feeling I experienced before.
"Ai Bin!" Aisen grabbed his brother's arm. It was an absolutely real touch - different from every previous dream, this time he really "caught" Ai Bin!
"Ai Bin, where have you been in the past few years?"
"I'm in the 'marginal space', and grandpa is too!" Ai Bin whispered.
"Grandpa is still here?!" Eisen exclaimed excitedly. "Where is the 'marginal space'? Why have I never heard of it? Why do I always meet you in..." He suddenly stopped here.
He didn't want to mention the word "dream", and he didn't want to accept the reality that this meeting might be in a dream. At this time, he saw clearly that Ai Bin was wearing a strange one-piece suit.
——Or it doesn’t look like clothes at all. He couldn’t help but feel sad in his heart: Could this be Ai Bin’s ghost?!
"Where are we?" Eisen's voice trembled badly.
"Aisen, you don't have to be afraid! We are in a very safe space now. You and I are real. Moreover, grandpa and I are both fine!" Ai Bin easily lifted his arm from Aisen's.
He took out his hand. "I will explain these to you slowly later. This time I come to see you for the exoplanet probe. 'Marginal Space' believes that it entered the solar system with bad intentions. Now it has entered the asteroid belt.
It is expected to reach the Earth's orbit in 60 days! Moreover, according to the 'marginal space' judgment, the probability of this celestial body colliding with the Earth will be greater than 1%! I have sent you its orbital parameters, haven't you reported it yet?"
"I only received a lot of symbols and I don't know what they mean...Ai Bin, what do you mean by 'marginal space'? Why don't you report this directly to the government?" Aisen was a little anxious. "I can't establish contact with them directly. Eisen, I can only inform you. At present, no one knows about 'marginal space' and our existence, and I can't tell you in detail. Now, you have caused the government
The space monitoring department is concerned, so only you can pass this news to them!"
"Will that thing hit the Earth?"
"Maybe it's possible! If necessary, Marginal Space will consider final intervention... but you must also be prepared!"
"'Final Intervention'?! Are you going to destroy it?" An idea suddenly appeared in Aisen's mind that made him think deeply, "Ai Bin, isn't the 'marginal space' not on the earth?!
”
"..."
Ai Bin's voice suddenly turned into noise, like the "sizzling" sound of electricity coming from the radio, and his shadow disappeared in an instant.
"Ai Bin——"
Aisen opened his eyes and found that he was still lying on the couch in the laboratory. Ding Yushi and the man wearing glasses were standing next to him, watching him in horror.
"Why do you look at me like this?" Aisen asked Ding Yushi. "Did I fall asleep just now?"
"Mr. Eisen, you've been sleeping for two full hours!" The man wearing glasses said while wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief. "You suddenly sweated a lot just now, and there was a change in your brain waves.
An instant peak. What did you dream about? Can you tell us?"
Aisen stared at Ding Yushi and murmured: "I saw Ai Bin again..." He suddenly seemed to remember something, "Mobile phone! Where is my mobile phone? Check to see if there is any message on it!" Ding Yushi asked her assistant to bring the shielding box over. The moment the shielding box was opened, she couldn't help but let out a "yeah" and was stunned for several seconds——
The phone screen turned black again, with white symbols flashing all over the screen!
"Record it immediately!" Ding Yushi said to his assistant.
Aisen described in detail his conversation with Ai Bin in his dream to Ding Yushi and everyone present. What everyone found unbelievable was that Aisen said that he had at least seven or eight conversations with Ai Bin in his dream.
Minutes, but the abnormal peak of Eisen’s brain waves detected by laboratory equipment lasted less than 1 second!
"'Marginal space'?" Ding Yushi asked, "What does 'marginal space' refer to? Ai Bin, didn't he tell you?"
"I couldn't hear the last words he said clearly."
"Have the symbols on the phone been recorded?" Ding Yushi turned around and asked her assistant.
The assistant came over with Eisen's mobile phone and a piece of recording paper and said: "You can't take screenshots with your mobile phone, and you can't download them. These symbols can only be copied. I don't know if it's correct." He handed the recording paper to Ding Yushi. p>
Ding Yushi took the recording paper, glanced at it, and said: "Give me your phone!"
The assistant looked down at the phone with a confused look on his face: "Ding Bo, the phone screen has gone black..."
Ding Yushi saw that the mobile phone, which was still flashing white symbols when it was taken out of the shielding box, was now completely black. She tried restarting it several times, but failed.
