"Oh... Xiao Zheng, escape cabin." Wang Quanran called the female secretary over.
The female secretary had already walked over with the crystal plate. She looked at it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you two, the escape cabin is still in the original place. As long as you return to the established track, you will definitely find it. In addition, there are There are specific coordinates.”
The crystal plate was handed to Yan Sichen.
Yan Sichen took a look and nodded: "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome."
…
After another ten minutes, the spacecraft was ready.
The five people who entered the spacecraft simply assigned work tasks and then sat down.
The five people who sat down were all silent. It seemed that this experience was too shocking and difficult for them to let go.
It seems to me that I have just left here not long ago, but I feel like I am in another world.
Su Wanxia took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.
…
The process of returning to the universe is somewhat similar to when they mistakenly entered the realm of the transcendent.
When those strange winds became noisy again, the surrounding space was blown away like sand paintings.
Chu Xiaoming is responsible for controlling the spacecraft, and Shen Yinuo assists.
Su Wanxia was sitting behind Chu Xiaoming, and he witnessed this extremely shocking scene.
They haven't had time to explore those mysterious buildings like huge crosses in the distant sky. Perhaps they will never have the opportunity to set foot in such a mysterious territory in this life.
During this period of time, Su Wanxia has been thinking about a problem.
It is about the connection between science and theology.
Su Wanxia, who has received scientific education since childhood, has never been interested in theology. In his subconscious, theology is imagination, not concrete science. It can be called art, but it cannot affect reality.
But now, Su Wanxia suddenly felt... maybe there really is a god in this world!
This kind of power possessed by gods cannot be competed with or even understood by mortals, but this does not mean that gods are unscientific.
An objective and appropriate statement should be that the science we have is extremely limited, but we cannot classify the power that we have not yet been able to understand and use as "unscientific", or even deceive ourselves and others.
At this moment, Su Wanxia was like the ant who discovered the bullet hole left by the cowboy's revolver on the target and suddenly realized that in his past cognition.
This bullet hole is the black hole in the universe that he knows, the end that can swallow everything.
But now he suddenly realized that his cognition might have been parallel to his imagination from the beginning.
Reality became illusory at this moment.
Isn’t that too much to say? Are humans really just tiny, ignorant ants who mistake bullet holes for black holes?
of course not.
Su Wanxia didn't think so either.
But after his imagination was liberated, he suddenly realized.
Is the world created by imagination necessarily false?
Or...is the world depicted by our brains generated by the consciousness generated by neuronal stimulation received by various organs real?
This reminded Su Wanxia of the time when Su Corporation demonstrated an epoch-making prototype that broke through the bottom line of human ethics and morality at the World Scientific Development and Innovation Conference. It can be said that it subverted the existing established concepts of human beings' cognition and communication with the world. of immoral machines.
At the same time, it is also a device that can bring "rebirth" to vegetative people or people whose physical existence cannot be cured and are destined to die.
A device that can fully unleash your imagination.
When this device was displayed, a volunteer's brain was already stored in the device.
With the assistance of an external neuron stimulation and supply system, the terminally ill volunteer entered the "afterlife" world.
A world completely composed of external neuronal stimulation helps him make full use of his imagination to build a world that may appear to us to be completely "virtual".
Through mind mapping, on-site reporters relayed the morning of the first man on earth to live in "The Truman Show."
In that dream built from beautiful memories, he had breakfast with his family, and after the meal, he took a car to his ideal workplace, an endless green field.
Although the core of this technology is not essentially different from virtual reality technology.
But no matter how mature virtual reality technology is, it still needs to stay within the system.
But this technology has completely broken down the existing barriers to human ethics and morality.
For a time, public opinion was one-sided in condemning the "boldness" of Su's company.
That was also the first time that Su's Enterprises suffered a sharp decline in the stock market since its establishment.
But in less than a week, with Su Che's public statement, all doubts disappeared.
Su Wanxia had studied this statement many times, but at the beginning his purpose was not to study and research, but to fight against his father and to completely break with the Su family.
Thinking about it now, when Su Wanxia recalled that statement again, he seemed to suddenly realize something.
I vaguely remember Su Che’s impassioned speech at the press conference.
He asked the whole world.
"If technology has given us more choices, then what makes us still indulge in the old moral infancy and unwilling to grow up? This condemnation sounds so harsh, like the cry of a child! Can we only
Surrender to instinct? Or can we achieve progress and transcendence in the true sense? The bell of the times rings, awakening us that the real elite society is coming! By then, if the sun 'disappears', can we still see tomorrow?
?”
When she thought of this passage, Su Wanxia felt a chill running down her spine.
Because his father's consciousness was really too far ahead... It was even very possible that he had known that the "sun" would disappear many, many years ago.
This obviously cannot be simply regarded as accidental.
At least Su Wanxia can't.
Because he clearly knew why Su Che treated their mother and son so coldly, and he also knew why the Su family had tolerated Su Wanxia's various unjust acts for so many years.
…
When the last light on the horizon disappeared before our eyes, the whole world suddenly fell into darkness.
There was obvious vibration in the spacecraft, and various instruments sounded alarms.
Chu Xiaoming acted very calmly at this time. His eyes quickly scanned various data, and he would immediately start dealing with matters that may pose a threat to the spacecraft.
Shen Yinuo and he cooperated very well, and the two of them constantly exchanged information and passed on instructions.
When Su Wanxia, who was brought back to reality, saw this scene, her heart suddenly lost the dullness and pain she had felt before. He began to calm down, and finally there was a sincere smile on his face.
Xian Qianhua and Yan Sichen sat behind Shen Yinuo, and they did not disturb Chu Xiaoming and Shen Yinuo.
In fact, in this critical moment, staying quiet and not causing trouble is really helping.
After about ten minutes of turbulence, everything suddenly became quiet.
The vibration disappeared, and so did the sound of the howling wind outside the spacecraft.
A few stars appeared in the darkness.
When the spacecraft truly stabilized, a fiery red planet appeared before them.
That's Mars.
The moment they saw Mars, everyone was stunned.
Almost subconsciously, without any communication, the five people all reached a tacit understanding.
Chu Xiaoming immediately controlled the spacecraft to face the direction of the sun.
Then!
The moment the sunlight entered the cockpit through the special aerospace glass, everyone was stunned.
It's back!
Yes!
The sun is "back"!
At that moment, silent cheers sounded in the cockpit.
Excited, Chu Xiaoming, Su Wanxia, Shen Yinuo and others hugged each other. No one knew what the excitement was about.
But when they saw the sun again, they were still so excited that they couldn't express it in words.
After a few minutes, the few people who calmed down received a communication invitation from Wang Quanran.
After the communication was established, Wang Quanran said with a smile: "It seems that everything went well, you should be okay?"
Chu Xiaoming hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "It's much better this time, thank you Mr. Wang!"
"You're welcome." Wang Quanran smiled and then said: "You can go home now. I believe you will enjoy the hero version of the courtesy when you go back."
"Heroes? Us?" Chu Xiaoming was stunned, then pointed at Yan Sichen and Xian Qianhua and said: "Mr. Wang, you are talking about them two."
Wang Quanran shook his head: "You are all heroes. Well, I have something important to do and I will send it to you soon. Everyone, have a safe trip."
King Yuluo completely interrupted the communication.
"Hey! This brother!?" Chu Xiaoming wanted to call back, but found that the other party did not leave any definite signal coordinates. It seemed that he did not intend to let them know too much.
Yan Sichen also felt that Wang Quanran was leaving in a hurry, but there was really no need to delay here, so he sighed and said: "Don't think too much, we... still want to find the escape cabin and collect those After data, let’s go back to the space station.”
Chu Xiaoming is still trying to contact Wang Quanran.
Shen Yinuo slapped the back of his hand and said, "Well, give me the coordinates, and we'll go over now and finish the unfinished work for him."
Yan Sichen handed the crystal plate to Shen Yinuo, then yawned and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. I'm so sleepy and want to take a nap."
After saying that, Yan Sichen left.
Shen Yinuo was stunned, thinking that this friend was too lazy, why did he just go to bed when he said he was going to bed?
As a result, before anyone could react, Xian Qianhua also yawned and left.
In the blink of an eye, Su Wanxia and the three of them were the only ones left in the cockpit.
"The three of us are enough." Su Wanxia didn't mind very much. After he finished speaking, he looked at the sun and said, "Now that the sun has risen, the first priority should be to get in touch with the space station."
"Well, I'll contact you right away. Hey, Xiaoming, I've given you the coordinates. Hurry up."
Chu Xiaoming took the crystal plate but still muttered to himself: "How did he do it without leaving any traces?"
…
On the other side, Yan Sichen, who returned to the lounge, did not really sleep.
He sat on the bed and stared at the stars outside the spacecraft through the soapbox-sized window in a daze.
"Are you okay?" Xian Qianhua was the same. She stood in front of the door and looked at Yan Sichen with concern.
Yan Sichen came to his senses after hearing this. He forced a smile and said, "Well, I'm fine."
"Hey, don't come here. How much time have we spent together, and you can still deceive me?" Xian Qianhua said, walking over and naturally putting her hand on his shoulder.
Yan Sichen doesn't feel disgusted at all with this kind of intimacy, or rather... he's already used to it.
He said nothing and turned his head to look at the vast universe.
Xian Qianhua didn't say anything. She leaned against Yan Sichen, feeling the scent of each other, closing her eyes and humming a song.
…
"Can't contact the space station?" Su Wanxia, who had just put on her space suit and was about to perform data recovery work, received a very bad news.
"Well! I have tried dozens of times and confirmed all the frequency band codes, but there has been no response from the space station!" Shen Yinuo also realized the seriousness of the problem.
Their spacecraft was not intended to land on the ground from the beginning.
Therefore, if they cannot contact the space station, even if they return to earth orbit, they will not be able to return to the earth or their homeland.
Su Wanxia's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition suddenly arose, but he was much calmer than before.
He comforted Shen Yinuo and said: "Don't worry, we are still far from the earth now. We have plenty of time to figure out the situation. Let's finish the recycling work first."
"Hey...that's all we have to do. Hey, Xiaoming, why don't you go change clothes?"
"Ah? Should I go too?"
"Nonsense! Don't worry, let Wanxia go alone!"
"Oh! I'm going right now!"
"No, it's just a small amount of work without increasing the risk. Just adjust the attitude of the spacecraft and wait for me to come back." Su Wanxia had already entered the pressure chamber.
Chu Xiaoming was stunned. He looked at Shen Yinuo and didn't know whether to go or stay.
Shen Yinuo rolled his eyes at him: "Look at you, you are so stupid! Sit down!"
"Oh!" Chu Xiaoming has indeed been a little silly recently. He returned to the driver's seat to control the mechanical recovery arm.
The escape capsule that has been floating in the universe for a long time is being slowly recovered.
[Beep! Tsk————Pressure is normal!]
When the green light came on, Su Wanxia opened the door, controlled the spacesuit and began to fly towards the escape capsule.
"Be careful." Shen Yinuo is now much more timid than before, especially after experiencing several lives and deaths, she cherishes the people in front of her even more.
"It's okay, Sister Yinuo, play some jazz for me. Only with music can you be energetic."
"Okay, which one do you want to listen to?"
"Anything is fine, feel free to do whatever you want." As she spoke, Su Wanxia had already arrived at the entrance of the escape cabin.
The twisted and deformed safety door could not be opened by normal means, so Su Wanxia stepped back and mobilized the recovery arm to prepare to forcefully break open the safety door.
During this process, music has started playing.
The soothing jazz music gave Su Wanxia a long-lost sense of intimacy.
Chu Xiaoming also lay down relaxedly and said, "Brother Wanxia still has good taste. He hears things that we don't understand."
Su Wanxia rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Shen Yinuo was more direct, and she kicked him over.
"Ouch! Hohoho! It hurts so much!"
"Don't come here, I'll give you a light kick, look at you like that!"
"Hey!" Chu Xiaoming stopped pretending when he saw that he couldn't deceive Shen Yinuo. He changed the subject and said: "Hey, do you think we will really be regarded as heroes when we return to Earth?"
"Who knows." Shen Yinuo didn't really care about this: "I only care about whether your promise counts."
"Promise? What promise?" Chu Xiaoming was stunned.
"you!"
"Ouch!! Yinuo, you are really cruel! I'm kidding! Of course I remember! One pair of shoes every day, never the same in life! I remember them all! Ouch... hiss... it's broken, it won't really happen The kick must have been broken!"
"Huh! You deserve it!" Shen Yinuo's face was red and his mouth was stiff, but he still looked at it with some concern.
Su Wanxia was a little bored as she waited for the robotic arm to complete its work. He said, "Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero? I never thought in my life that one day I would be regarded as a hero."
"Hey? You really think so?" Chu Xiaoming was a little surprised: "I thought Brother Wanxia, you were the most indifferent to fame and wealth!"
Su Wanxia smiled and said nothing.
Shen Yinuo said: "You and I have different ideas. I don't want to be a hero. It's very troublesome to think about it. What's more, we haven't done anything, so why should we be heroes?"
Chu Xiaoming is now a little expert at adapting to the wind. When he heard what Shen Yinuo said, he immediately stood up and said: "Yes, yes, yes! We are just here to take the hero home! How can we take away the credit from the real hero? !Do you think so, Brother Wanxia?"
Su Wanxia smiled and sighed: "Yes, everything you said is right. Okay, the door is open, I'm going in."
"Oh, wait a minute, I'll help you clean up the surrounding area, so there won't be any accidents."
"OK."
After the mechanical arm opened the safety door, the escape cabin deformed visible to the naked eye, but it was very slight and did not affect the main structure of the escape cabin.
After the cleaning work was completed and there were no tiny debris floating around the escape cabin, Su Wanxia slowly entered the escape cabin.
The moment before entering the escape cabin, Su Wanxia's heart was extremely calm.
But when he saw everything in the escape cabin clearly, his pupils instantly dilated to the extreme.
Almost at the same time, Chu Xiaoming also issued an alarm.
Shen Yinuo was startled and hurriedly looked up and found that Su Wanxia's heart rate had increased abnormally!
"Wanxia, are you okay? Is there any danger over there?"
no respond.
Chu Xiaoming was stunned for a second: "Fuck! I'll save him!"
As he spoke, Chu Xiaoming rolled and crawled towards the pressure chamber.
Looking at the still Su Wanxia in the picture, Shen Yinuo panicked, and she asked again and again: "Wanxia! Wanxia!!! Are you okay!!!! Su Wanxia!!! Answer me!!! Answer me ah!"
"Huh..." Breathing heavily.
"I'm fine." Su Wanxia closed her eyes and slowly entered the escape cabin.
"Then what happened to you just now? Why did your heart rate suddenly jump to 140?! What did you see?" Shen Yinuo asked while trying to remotely activate the image recorder carried by Su Wanxia.
But after the recorder was started, what we saw was pitch black.
"It's nothing. I have started to recover the data and will go back soon. Xiaoming, you don't need to come over."
