Ling Yi liked this pair of glasses very much. He not only looked at the starry sky for a while, but also walked around the corridor of the spaceship wearing them.
Many invisible bands in the spectrum are converted into visible light, making the entire spacecraft shrouded in a hazy multicolored halo, especially those experimental instruments, which reveal blue-purple or light red from the silvery white of the machine. Shimmer, nothing like the usual cold look.
As soon as Ling finished reading them, he turned back to look at Lin Si.
Lin Si stood on the transparent platform, looking at himself in a sea of light, those lights were slowly flowing and surging around him, and the scene was beautiful and dreamy.
The light of this moment is so indelible, it is almost the limit of his imagination of the beautiful things in the world.
The law that governs the universe says that all that is alive will die, all that is possessed will be lost, and that time will never turn back.
So one day, like his relatives who are no longer alive, he will leave this world forever, forever.
Then at that time, what I will never forget must be this scene—Ling Yi suddenly thought.
This scene - Lin Si looked at himself, behind the eternal silent stars and the ocean of dust, together with the light of those stars from thousands of light-years away, will be entangled in his life for a long time.
Lin Si looked at Ling Yi, seeing that he was looking around excitedly, but suddenly fell silent when he turned to look at him. He just wanted to ask Ling Yi what's the matter, when he saw him looking at him, and slowly took off his glasses.
At that moment, Lin Si was also taken aback because he saw Ling Yi's eyes filled with deep sadness.
He quickly dispelled this idea, thinking it was an illusion—a child of this age would not have any reason to be sad other than being trapped by love, and he knew all of Ling Yi's friends well, and felt that there was no possibility of him being trapped by love.
But Ling Yi's state is definitely not the excitement at the beginning.
He asked, "Tired? Do you want to go back to sleep?"
Ling nodded.
He walked over, took Lin Si's hand, followed Lin Si in the corridor, and didn't speak for a long time.
Lin Si naturally noticed something was wrong with him: "Unhappy?"
"Hmm." Ling Yi said sullenly.
"What's wrong?"
"The poem says that all our love is a parting," he said, "because what we have now will be lost, so we love something... which means accepting that one day , will you be sad to say goodbye to this thing?"
Lin Si thought for a while and said, "That's right."
"Then if I remember it, does that mean I haven't lost it yet?"
Lin Si nodded: "If the memories don't bring you pain."
"Then..." Ling Yi lowered his voice, "Will I lose you too?"
"Yes." Lin Si looked into his eyes, "I'm not young anymore, and all kinds of radiation in the laboratory have made my health not very good. Death will take me away before taking you away."
Ling Yi stared at him in a daze, tears suddenly filled his eyes: "But I don't want to..."
In the past three years since he woke up, he has been learning all kinds of things. Until today—the day he grew up, he finally knew death.
Tears were streaming down that pretty face, Lin Si looked at Ling Yi, stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, and then kissed him lightly on the forehead: "But before that, if you don't want to Leave me, I will accompany you well."
Ling nodded.
He stopped talking, took Lin Si's hand, and went back to the room together.
Since then, things on the spaceship have progressed steadily day after day. Under the leadership of Su Ting, the neuron chip project has been carried out very smoothly. There are hints of success.
Mrs. Chen successfully persuaded the marshal to agree to the plan to send a fleet to explore other planets, and the persuasion process went very smoothly.
Of course, this is not because the Marshal is also full of worries about the development of human civilization-he scoffs at such concerns.
In fact, the Marshal didn't think about it at all. When he heard Madam's idea, he laughed: "Isn't this just colonization! We use this as a base to explore other habitable planets—eventually we can even Develop into a large country spanning many planets, even galaxies!"
—Well, although the purpose is completely different, it can be regarded as an agreement.
The referendum was held immediately, and four out of five people chose "agree", the plan was passed, and various tasks began to proceed intensely.
After weighing the pros and cons, the data stored in the eighth area and the tens of thousands of frozen bodies stored in the ninth area were transferred to the ground base. The emptied eighth area and the ninth area will be equipped with enough materials to carry the most advanced Exploration tools to break away from the Voyager for independent voyages.
The personnel it will carry has yet to be determined. The only thing we know is that it will be mainly soldiers and will not bring too many scientific researchers. The focus of scientific research is still on the "voyagers".
While all matters were going smoothly, neuron chip and antimatter weapons projects were announced to be completed.
On this day, the marshal was sitting in the main control room of the eighth district, accompanied by Mr. Lins and Mr. Lambert.
The eighth area broke away from the main body and flew to the meteorite belt two hundred light years away, where they were going to test antimatter weapons.
Meteorite belts are a common celestial phenomenon. Its predecessor was the asteroid belt. The gravitational force of these asteroids could have made them orbit planets regularly, but unfortunately they were disturbed by the gravitational force of the nearby giant planets, and they began to run chaotically in a certain area and collide frequently. Countless pieces of meteorites and cosmic dust are being produced every day. If such collisions continue, the asteroid belt will become extremely fragmented, and it is rare to see complete spherical planets, most of which are large and small fragments, so they become meteorite belts.
Through the turbid dust cloud, the chaotic meteorite field appeared in the field of vision, this kind of place is a high-risk area for navigation accidents, and the spacecraft rarely sets foot—but today is different.
The colonel manipulated his skeleton, exited the port, and was exposed to the universe.
A pitch-black cylinder appeared on the right arm of the skeleton. This cylinder lost the unique luster of metal and was dull. It seemed that it had been carburized, and it looked very dangerous.
The colonel slowly raised his right arm and clenched his fist.
The nuclear fusion energy furnace emitting blue light on his chest suddenly went dark, and then became extremely bright, as if a huge power had been accumulated invisibly, and then—the miniature curvature propulsion device on the right arm was activated at maximum power, and the dark circle The barrel seemed to fluctuate a bit.
The vacuum environment cannot transmit sound, and the volume of the cylinder is not large, so the fluctuation is very difficult to detect.
The marshal looked at the energy furnace that had returned to normal and the colonel who retracted his right arm, and frowned: "Launched?"
The moment his voice fell, something exploded deep in the meteorite belt!
There is no sound, no light, but... shocking!
In the distant dust cloud and meteorite group, a point appeared, a point of nothingness. Then, with this point as the center, everything around was quickly annihilated—the form and energy completely disappeared in the real world, they still existed there before, and the next moment, that place became a vacuum with nothing.
The point where the antimatter weapon explodes is like the center of a circle, and around it is a huge void—the void was born just in an instant that cannot be caught by the naked eye.
If the diameter of this void is expressed in kilometers, I am afraid that it has to be expressed in scientific notation.
In other words, as long as an antimatter bomb is needed, the planet they live in can be wiped out.
"... very good." The marshal let out a breath and nodded: "You are very good."
It is rare for the Marshal to praise others so sincerely.
But no one is surprised, because this result is really amazing.
"It must be kept strictly confidential!" The Marshal changed the topic, "The same is true for the participants of the experiment. When the results of today's experiment are released, the data must be reduced by at least a hundred times!"
Mr. Lambert nodded. He also knew that this thing was too dangerous. If someone with malicious intentions got it and used it on the Voyager—the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, only the three of them were present today, and the data can be falsified as much as you want, and not everyone can operate this thing.
"Only bones have assembly conditions?" Marshal reconfirmed.
"Yes," Mr. Lambert said, "the density of the device is too high, ordinary people can't handle it at all."
Lin Si said: "In addition to being equipped on the skeleton, it can also be added to the weapon system of the spacecraft."
"Let me think about it," said the marshal, "what do you think about its use?"
"First of all, it can be used for navigation," said Mr. Lambert. "When we encounter a harsh navigation environment, we can directly destroy it to create a safe absolute vacuum. In this way, we hardly have to worry about navigation accidents."
The marshal nodded.
Lin Sidao: "Theoretically, we are no longer afraid of alien civilizations that may exist that are more advanced than us. Under the premise that we all have anti-matter weapons, no one will choose to attack each other."
"What if they have more advanced weapons?" asked the marshal.
"It's impossible to be more advanced than anti-matter weapons," Mr. Lambert replied for Lins. "Physics has a limit. They may have some weapons that are more powerful in close combat. We can't beat them, but if we They have no choice but to annihilate with us if they want to detonate an antimatter bomb to carry out suicidal resistance."
The marshal pondered for a while, then nodded again.
"But, first of all, we have to ensure safety..." the marshal said, turning his gaze to Lin Si.
Lin Si knew that the marshal had thought about the chip again.
Before, the Marshal insisted on implanting the control program in the chip. Now that the skeleton has the conditions for assembling anti-matter weapons, it must have aroused the Marshal's deeper fear—an experienced hunter, after getting a powerful gun Finally, the first thing that comes to mind is not how to use it, but how to prevent it from going off.
It's not that Lin Si couldn't understand the marshal's mood. He took the initiative to make a concession: "I can add instructions to the bone's control system. When there is an abnormal operation, the entire bone will be completely paralyzed."
"No," the marshal refused very simply: "The instructions in the control system can be changed only by a powerful hacker!"
"Let Tang Ning write the program, there is no better hacker than him," Lin Si said.
"Not now, what about in the future? What about in a hundred years?" The marshal said, "Only the chip is implanted! The bone is operated through the chip, but anyone who uses the bone has a chip in the brain, and after taking it out, the bone cannot be used! Only This is the safest way! Unless someone can open his own head again and change the program of the chip, but such a big move will definitely be discovered in advance!"
The marshal looked at Lin Si: "I know you still disagree, but I can take a step back... The current emitted by the chip can not kill people, but make him temporarily unconscious. I can leave this speed to you! Otherwise , no matter how powerful the bones are and how much value they can create, I will not allow them to be used!"
Lin Si closed his eyes, as if he was making a decision, and when he opened them again, his expression was calm: "Yes, but I still have requests."
Marshal: "You say."
"To realize such a function, the chip must be controlled through an external terminal," Lin Sidao, "The authority of this controller must be held by you and Mrs. Chen at the same time. Only when you two operate at the same time, the order will be issued. implement."
"This request is reasonable." The marshal said.
"Then, I asked them to keep it a secret. I didn't want them to know that my life could be controlled by others for some reason."
The marshal thought for a while, then nodded: "It's okay. If you have no other opinions, you can immediately hand it over to the fifth district for design and manufacture."
Lin Si pressed his eyebrows wearily: "No more."
