Du Qiu's father used to be the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Corps. He had done homework in the corps' office since he was a child. Most of the criminal policemen in the corps knew him.
He once thought that he would become one of them, but he didn't expect that in his senior year of high school, he discovered some details about the incident in his childhood, which almost caused him to break up with his father.
Du Qiu even gave up applying for the Police Officer University and chose the mechanical major of Shanghai University. With his cleverness, he obtained a doctorate in mechanical and electronic engineering in just six years.
Until more than a year ago, his father joined the peacekeeping police and left the Criminal Police Corps. That time Du Qiu secretly ran to the Criminal Police Corps to watch his father lead the team to set off.
Who would have thought that that time would be our farewell forever.
More than a month ago, Du Qiu received a notification from Uncle Tang that an earthquake occurred in the area where his father was performing his mission, and five peacekeeping police officers died, including his father.
Among the five, two are from the Shanghai Police and three are from the Jiangsu Provincial Police.
A grand memorial service was held in the city.
It was also at the memorial service that he unexpectedly met his ex-girlfriend Zhang Mingliu, whom he had broken up with and lost contact with for two years.
Zhang Mingliu's brother Zhang Shangqing was another police officer from Shanghai who died.
"Du Qiu, Du Qiu...don't let anything happen to you..."
As soon as he put on the earphones, Du Qiu heard Zhang Mingliu's mumbling voice coming from the earphones, and then realized that he had forgotten to hang up the phone just now.
"Liu Liu, I'm fine. I'll be at the door of your community in a few minutes."
After Du Qiu finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator, and the car immediately accelerated and drove forward.
Just a few minutes later, Du Qiu met Zhang Mingliu at the gate of a community. Seeing that her clothes were all wet, it was likely that the umbrella in her hand would not work when she started running.
It can be seen how frightened and panicked she was at that time.
Du Qiu sent her back to her residence. After listening to Zhang Mingliu's intermittent narration, he realized that she had to work overtime tonight and came back late, which was why she encountered such a thing. Fortunately, she hid in a convenience store on the road for a while.
Du Qiu comforted you with a joking tone: "Maybe it's your secret admirer, deliberately following you to scare you, and then looking for an opportunity to show up again to comfort you, but I didn't expect it to be ruined by me."
Although Zhang Mingliu is a woman, she has a strong personality. Now that Du Qiu is around and he has returned to his home, his energy and energy have suddenly recovered a lot.
After hearing what Du Qiu said, he couldn't help but glared at him and said, "It couldn't be you. You still miss me so much that you deliberately followed me to scare me. Were you secretly having fun when I called you?"
"I will miss you with all my heart?" Du Qiu was about to argue with her as he did in the past, but suddenly he felt a little soft-hearted when he saw her wet look.
He immediately continued: "You should take a hot bath quickly, otherwise you will catch a cold. I will go back first, there is still something to do."
The moment he opened the door, Du Qiu turned around and said, "Lock the door!"
"Hey, are you really leaving?" Before Zhang Mingliu could finish his words, the door was already closed.
Zhang Mingliu looked at the closed door, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
It has been almost two years since the two broke up. Even though they live in the same big city, they have never interacted with each other.
If we hadn't reunited on that sad day a month ago, we might have never seen each other again.
Two years was neither long nor short, but after seeing Du Qiu again, Zhang Mingliu found that he had not forgotten him at all.
Du Qiu returned to his residence and didn't think much about what happened at night.
In fact, after he simply washed up, he immediately went to bed and turned off his mobile phone because he didn't want to be disturbed and interrupt his good sleep.
In the past month, Du Qiu fell asleep with anticipation every night.
Because ever since he fell asleep on the crystal pillow given to him by his father, he began to have some bizarre dreams every night.
Oh, no, not every night.
I had dreams for six consecutive nights, and on the seventh day there were no more dreams.
That is to say, this kind of dream stops for one day every six days.
At the beginning, Du Qiu couldn't remember what was in his dream, but in the latest round of dreams, he could remember the content of the dream more clearly.
It was precisely because he remembered the content of the dream that Du Qiu felt strange.
At first, the dream he remembered was actually in the vast, dark universe.
Although he has a Ph.D. in engineering, he has seen photos from the American Space Agency and experienced various American interstellar science fiction movies in IMAX theaters.
But it was not as real as the space he saw in his dream.
It felt as if he was in space and could observe the universe and stars in all directions, up and down, left, and right.
The deep darkness when far away from the star system, the dazzling light when close to the star, and the colorful star light that becomes colorful after observing the reflection of the planet at close range...
The star system he saw in his dream was so clear and real that he felt infinite melancholy every time he woke up.
Some of these star systems are like the solar system. In addition to stars, they also have a large number of planets of various sizes.
There are also some star systems with two stars, and either two, three, or three or four planets, rotating around the center points of the two stars.
There are also some star systems, like the Trisolaran galaxy, the neighbor of the solar system, with three stars, and there are still planets in such star systems.
There are also star systems with four stars, that is, standing on a planet in such a galaxy, you will see four "suns"
…
Speaking of stars, Du Qiu saw all kinds of stars in his dreams, some were main sequence stars like the sun, some were white dwarfs, giant stars, and supergiant stars.
Every night in his dream, Du Qiu could see hundreds of star systems, and it felt like he was swimming in a sea of stars.
Just traveling through hundreds of star systems in one night, this speed is many times faster than the speed of light.
Just when Du Qiu thought that tonight was the same as his previous dream, that he was still wandering in the sea of stars, he found that the feeling of traveling in the sea of stars tonight was a little different.
He felt as if he was traveling through the sea of stars following a certain path, and the starting point actually started from his own blue star.
The first thing that comes into view is the celestial body that humans are most familiar with - the moon. Soon the moon is left behind and passes through the orbit of Mars. Next is the asteroid belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune...
The process of passing out of the solar system only lasted a few seconds, and then there was the endless void. Du Qiu was not familiar with the sea of stars, so he didn't know which constellation direction he was heading now.
However, he soon felt as if he had passed Sirius, a very bright star in the dome, and Du Qiu had some impression of it.
But it was also passing by so fast that it was not even possible to see clearly what was going on inside the Sirius Galaxy. This situation was very different from the previous dream.
Du Qiu felt as if he was traveling in the starry sky.
Over time, Du Qiu became a little numb. He couldn't figure out the direction anyway, so he simply continued to perform according to the dream.
Suddenly he felt like he was traveling through an endless darkness where there were no stars.
This darkness seemed extremely vast and vast, and Du Qiu didn't know how long it had been before he finally let go of his nervousness when he saw the star system again.
But after traveling through thousands of star systems, he suddenly fell into endless darkness again. Just when he was panicking, a voice seemed to sound deep in his consciousness.
