Life in space is boring and boring under normal circumstances.
However, since the destination of the spaceship is clear and people are constantly counting down to October 27, 3020 AD, this day is not difficult.
On the contrary, everyone just hates that the pace of time is too fast, and the days are getting shorter and shorter every day.
Previously, the fugitive faction decided to rush ahead of time, focusing on the day when the sunspots broke out. At that time, the fugitive faction had the tendency of sinking the boat if they failed or failed.
Now Chen Feng forcibly pushed back the escape date by one month, until October 27th. On the contrary, it completely changed the mentality of the general public in the escape faction, making people slightly worried about gains and losses.
September 21, 2020.
The spaceship is gradually approaching the end of human footprints.
Chen Feng stood in the command module, looking through the transparent ceiling at the distant starry sky.
He stared for a long time and found nothing.
It stands to reason that the distance to the so-called barrier is close enough, and the naked eye should be able to see something.
But in the void universe, there seems to be nothing.
He wanted to find someone to consult and say something, but unfortunately Tang Tianxin, Ou Qinglan and others were not around, and everyone was conducting experiments in the laboratory in the middle of the spaceship.
Asking the fugitives would easily expose his ignorance and shake his authority, so Chen Feng had no one to ask.
Then Chen Feng went back and asked the logistics department to call up various parameters and tried to analyze the differences from the perspective of data.
But we can see a little bit of clues.
At every moment in the universe, there is countless background radiation coming from far away and reaching the solar system.
The essence of cosmic background radiation is microwave radiation, which originates from the violent activities of stars and even the universe itself.
Microwave radiation carries a large amount of information.
Early humans could gradually glimpse the tip of the iceberg of the nature of the universe by analyzing microwave radiation.
Under normal circumstances, the changes in the cosmic background radiation should be within a very small range, very close to the black body radiation of the absolute temperature scale 2.725 K.
But this data underwent a slight mutation five hundred years ago and weakened slightly.
At first, people thought that this meant that the energy of the universe was weakening and had just reached a certain critical point.
Until 2501, the 327th unmanned scientific research spacecraft sent by humans to the outer solar system disappeared without any reason. In the following more than ten years, every spacecraft that tried to send a spacecraft disappeared without exception when leaving the edge of the gravitational field of the solar system.
Scientists finally figured it out.
The universe has not changed.
What has changed is the solar system.
The solar system is enveloped by an almost imperceptible but objectively existing film, so the cosmic background radiation received by the entire solar system is slightly weakened.
After many tests of launching unmanned spacecraft and spaceships in different directions, scientists finally calculated the shape and size of the barrier.
Like a giant sugar-coated pill, the solar system is the bitter, active part of the pill.
"Send a neutron fission missile over there and let me check the situation."
Chen Feng ordered.
Three hours later.
Multi-data modeling of telescopes to build three-dimensional models.
Chen Feng could see the scene when the neutron fission missile hit the barrier.
There was no explosion as he expected.
The missile first sailed calmly in space, and then disappeared from its head.
This disappearance occurs suddenly and without warning.
It's like passing a cross-sectional scan, and the other end of the scan is invisible.
Immediately afterwards, some data changes occurred outside the invisible barrier.
After passing the data simulation, a cloud of mist was formed and quickly dispersed.
The technician pointed at the dispersing mist and said: "Like our countless attempts in the past, the neutron fission bomb was quietly decomposed into basic particles, and then continued to diffuse in the universe until the concentration was reduced to an insurmountable level.
Test."
Chen Feng tried flipping the picture ninety degrees to simulate a perspective parallel to the barrier.
He pointed at the screen and asked: "Here is the material generated by the decomposition of the neutron missile, but this side is empty. Does it mean that this barrier is one-way, and the material can only be sent out after being decomposed, but not in?"
The technician nodded, "Yes, so our solar system is, in a sense, turned into an isolated island in the universe by this barrier."
Chen Feng said to himself, "This thing is undoubtedly unnatural and is a means for the invaders to block us."
"Of course, this is the consensus of all scientists."
"Let's leave it like this for now, and then gradually get closer, but remember not to make direct contact, strengthen the monitoring of various data, prepare for the sunspot outbreak in six days, and strive to collect more information. Our ultimate goal is to understand this layer
The mechanism by which the barrier decomposes matter. By the way, what are the basic particles generated by the final decomposition?"
Several technicians shook their heads in unison.
"I don't know. I can only confirm that its level is more than two levels lower than quarks, which is completely beyond our technological level."
"Then just do your best and obey fate."
Chen Feng left the command cabin and went to the medical cabin.
Just now, his personal communication system received a message, which was sent by Lin Bu who was still "sleeping".
"What do you want from me?"
Chen Feng found a stool in the medical cabin and sat down with his legs crossed.
Lin Bu has been in this state for some time.
Chen Feng, as the most emotional person in this era, after experiencing the initial sadness and discomfort, he finally adjusted his mentality and became very relaxed.
The reason why Lin Bu can still maintain consciousness was found.
His cells are very different from ordinary people, their vitality is very tenacious, and each cell has a strong ability to self-replicate.
This guy's entire being is a walking cancer complex.
In the 21st century, an ordinary person will die from cancer in a certain organ. His whole body will become cancerous, and he will become another life.
After the life support fluid and nutrition tube replaced the function of his neck, his brain was able to survive like a normal person.
Chen Feng is very special, and Lin Bu is not simple either.
But Linbu does not represent the next stage of human evolution.
The reason why he has such ability is because his genes have serious mutations.
This mutation completely isolates Lin Bu's DNA from that of ordinary people, without any possibility of successful reproduction.
In addition, Tang Tianxin's emotional recovery was due to Chen Feng getting her pregnant. Lin Bu's emotions have also recovered now, probably because he only had one head left.
In the first few days when his emotions began to recover, this situation caused great torture to Lin Bu, almost causing him to collapse on the spot.
It wasn't until the initial success of the cloning reconstruction project led by Scott that he slowly calmed down.
Scott intercepted a section of body cells from Linbu's neck, performed reverse gene expression, and finally formed a new directional culture embryo.
In another glass jar in the corner of the medical cabin, a headless embryo is being formed.
"I only have one head left."
Lin Bu said.
Chen Feng waved his hand and chewed another fish-skin peanut into his mouth, "I know, when you were dying half a month ago, you repeated this sentence at least a hundred times. I didn't mean to look down on you. I believe that in the history of mankind,
No one can remain calm when facing this situation and suddenly regaining their feelings. You have done a very good job."
Lin Bu hummed, "Thanks to Dr. Scott for giving me hope."
"You also acted like this to cover our retreat. We all supported each other."
Lin Bu added: "It's a pity that I don't have enough time. I can't wait for my body to grow up."
Chen Feng fell into silence.
That headless body must be at least twelve years old before it can bear Lin Bu's head.
Even if various means have been used to accelerate its growth process, Scott initially estimates that it will take at least three years, and he really cannot wait for that day.
"It's okay. When I come back next time, you will be a lively and heroic man again."
"But as you said, I won't recognize you by then, right? What a pity."
"What does it matter? Just get to know each other again."
"How do you know I must still exist?"
"I knew it, you care about me? Why are you sad about spring and autumn?"
"My fault. I wasn't such a sentimental person before."
