Chu Si originally prepared a day of digestion time for the Golden Crows and the others, but he did not expect that he would end up in the crowd who needed digestion.
However, he is always rational in major matters, and he is not the first to respond to such sudden events, so he digests and organizes quickly. When he came out of the medical cabin, his face was normal, as calm as if he knew everything from the beginning.
What he didn't expect was that the Golden Crow's group digested it very quickly.
After a full meal, they cleaned themselves up, and then gathered one after another at the management center where Chu Si and Sae Yang were, and asked straight to the point, "So what do you need us to do?"
When asked this sentence, their tone was not friendly.
Chu Si didn't answer this sentence immediately, he looked at them quietly, and said: "I explained to you before that the reason why Sae Yang and I are here at this biological age is because the grid process appeared. There is an accident, and we believe that this accident is caused by too many unexpected factors. The less interference, the more likely the grid process will succeed.”
He paused, spread his hands and said: "So obviously, I need you to come with me to minimize the interference of unexpected factors and ensure the smooth progress of the grid process. But the final decision is still in your own hands. "
The Golden Crow and the others all showed a suspicious look, and they didn't seem to believe Chu Si's last sentence.
"You don't have to look at me like this." Chu said calmly, "I admit, if your decision is contrary to my expectations, I will definitely regret it, and I will definitely not be happy. I have countless coercive measures to force me. You nod, I'm actually pretty dictatorial when I need to. But today, at least in this matter, I'm not going to take any coercive measures.
"At the beginning, the experimental team didn't ask your wishes, and let you become the experimental results. Now it's all over, I think you should have the opportunity to choose, otherwise there is no essential difference between me and the people in the experimental team. already."
The group was silent for a moment, and one of them suddenly laughed and said half-heartedly, "You were playing emotional cards just now, weren't you? That's actually a kind of mental pressure."
"Of course." Chu Si nodded without shyness, very calm: "I'm just trying to convince you, because I have expectations, I hope you can do what I want, this is what anyone will do in any matter. Some psychological tendencies do not need to be concealed and modified. As for whether you are affected or not, it still depends on you."
Maybe it was because he was too calm, but there was a natural impetus.
Maybe it was Grey Wolf Set and the others, when they re-introduced themselves, the silent gazes of these people were not just pure silence.
Or maybe it was some other scene or a sentence that touched these people present. So after thinking for a moment, they actually nodded like this—
"I don't mind going with you."
"It doesn't matter."
…
The speed at which they agreed was also a bit faster than expected, as if they were not making a major decision, but just a little effort. What's even more strange is that this does not mean how friendly their tone is. Some even nodded with a slight expression on their faces. of impatience.
They make decisions in a way that, at first glance, looks like they're out and about.
Chu Si thought they were too casual at first, but then he thought that if such a thing fell on Sae Yang, with his character, it might not take two seconds to make a decision.
This may be the commonality of these experimental products. The particularity of their physique makes things big and small in their eyes. This kind of character can make them seem dangerous and difficult at times, but at such times, it is a good thing.
Now that there is an agreement on the outcome, there is no need to waste any more time.
Ding-
Tianyan said after a series of operation instructions: "The location of the target Barney Fort has been confirmed, the protective cover has been opened, fully connected, and ready to jump."
"Countdown is 5 seconds. 5-4-3-Ahead of the transition is successful."
"The location of the target Fort Barney has been changed, the second confirmation has been completed, the protective cover is opened, and the jump is ready."
"The jump was successful."
"Target Fort Barney location confirmed three times complete—"
"The jump was successful."
…
The voyage this time was very smooth. The only episode was a confrontation between wanderers when passing by the border of the α sector.
Chu Si and the others didn't pay attention to which time and space it was in, and they didn't want to intervene at first, but just as they passed by, the besieged homeless suddenly forcibly cut into their public channel, with a young voice full of bandit. As if by chance, he shouted: "Friend, don't watch the fun when you pass by, and do me a favor!"
This sentence coincides with a previous wartime clip. At that time, Chus used this sentence to let Carlos Black take his brothers into the aircraft to join the war. Now that he heard this sentence, it is naturally impossible to remain indifferent.
He didn't know who the young wanderer was, but for that, he didn't mind intervening to help.
There were not many wanderers besieging the man, but it was still not enough to see under the firepower of the space prison and a hundred black swan combat aircraft.
That process was not even a "battle", and the group of homeless people withdrew immediately when they saw that the momentum was not right.
Chu Si and the others didn't delay much, they were as silent and crisp as when they came, and they put on the jump shield when they stopped the fire. At the moment of the jump, the young voice of the besieged homeless man sounded again in the communication channel, with a smile and high spirits: "Thanks my friend, there will be a future."
There will be a period later.
anonymous friend.
…
Nearly two hours later, they finally emerged from the jump point in the Fort Barney area and landed on that land.
Chu Si temporarily handed over the controlled and imprisoned rebels to the Grey Wolf Set and the gang, and he and Sae Yang took the Golden Crow and his party to the Black Swan. Before leaving, Sae Yang rudely put the The core disk of the main body of Tianyan was also removed and taken away with him.
The sound of the metal colliding with the loosening of the grabbing rope and the sound of the rollers retracting the long chain continued one after another. The black swans surrounded by the space prison re-launched, forming a formation in the countless connection and buckle sounds, full of chaos. The gust of wind swept across the sky, and once again disappeared into the vast sea of stars.
Under the synchronous driving of Sae Yang, the Black Swan Brigade accurately found the entrance of the time-space curve.
In the humming sound, the blue protective cover suddenly fully opened, reflecting the large starry sky, and hundreds of black swans jumped instantly, all entering the curve.
The tremors and bumps in the curve are much stronger than any jump, and even wearing protective clothing, you can feel the tearing feeling that is about to fall on the flesh. Chu Si and Sae Yang have experienced it, so the reaction is good, but the faces of the Golden Crow and the others are a bit ugly.
It's not that they can't bear this level of discomfort, but this feeling may remind them of the days they spent in the experimental cabin.
But even so, no one temporarily regretted that he wanted to leave, but his impatient expression became heavier.
This time, the black swan did not fold halfway and successfully reached the apron at the end of the curve. Hundreds of aircraft landed suddenly, the running sound gradually stopped, the entire underground space returned to silence, and only a little white light at the end of the long track could be vaguely seen.
"I just checked the time." When everyone was walking on the track, Sae Yang tilted his head and said to Chu Si, "Guess what time it is?"
Chu Si thought for a while and said, "There is a problem with the grid program, when we fainted in the middle of the curve?"
Sae Young smiled, "That's right."
Everything is like a huge circle, after a long journey, it circles back to the original point again.
In the huge underground space, perhaps because of the cold and white light, people feel a little gloomy and cold, and even when they speak, there will be some faint echoes.
This is the first time Chus has actually stood in this space, the first time he has really seen those huge interconnected complex devices. This confrontation has paved the way for decades, lasted for decades, and spanned two generations, and now it is finally coming to an end.
They passed through those single cockpits, most of which were locked, and the transparent cover was covered with frost. Jiang Qi and the others should be sitting inside. Chu Si tried several times, but couldn't open the cockpit to take a look.
In the inner part of these cockpits, there is a transparent cylindrical monitoring booth, and the instrument screens are all inside, but there is a person lying crookedly there.
Chu Si strode forward, turned the man over and glanced, frowned and said, "Master Shao."
He probed the old man's breath and heartbeat, and immediately called Sae Yang over to put the old man on the ground and raise his neck.
After a series of skilled first aid measures were completed, the old man gasped and woke up, but his eyes were still a little hard to open.
"I can't continue to stare at the grid process in this state." Chu Si said, "The body will collapse."
Sae Yang thought about it, stood up, took out the core plate of the main body of the sky eye, turned it over in his hand, raised his eyebrows and asked him for credit: "Then try this?"
"Heaven's Eye?" Chu Si was a little worried, "Are you sure you can do it?"
"There won't be a better choice. After all, this thing has been upgraded. It can independently design a plan to stimulate the frozen capsule. It shouldn't be a problem to keep an eye on the data of the grid process." Sae Yang thought for a while and added. , "What's more, the old man is awake and can't bear the long-term consumption. It should still be possible to use voice commands to remind Tianyan a few words occasionally."
As he spoke, he entered the monitoring booth, connected the Sky Eye core disk to the port, and quickly tapped a series of settings with his fingers.
Ding-
Sky Eye: "Sky Eye, the most advanced intelligent system of Sky Eagle γ Star, sincerely serves you."
Ding-
Tianyan: "Why am I not in the space prison anymore..."
Sae Young fiddled with a temporary remote control starter and said, "I took you out. Since you've upgraded, you have to do something serious."
Ding-
Tianyan: "Have you asked my opinion?"
Sae Yang turned to Chu Si and said, "Sir, where is your 50001 highest authority?"
Ding-
Tianyan: "Sincerely serve you."
Chus: "..."
While adjusting the remote control device, Sae Young flipped through the historical data on the screen. After scanning more than ten pages at a glance, he tapped on the table and said, "If I understand correctly, the old man and the others seem to understand too much. understand the meaning of the grid process."
Chu Si was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him: "What do you mean?"
"Looking at the prompts and data after the program actually runs, the point is not isolation." Sae Yang said, "It's the connection. Because these are the so-called unexpected factors, when the time is readjusting itself, Take these factors into account. Especially… you, sir.”
In the words of Mond Hollis, Chus's growth is intertwined with the contraction of time. Time is a part of him, and he is also a part of time.
So... how is it possible to exclude a part of yourself when time is self-regulating
Exclude these unexpected factors, and a part of yourself, and the result of the adjustment will not be truly balanced and stable.
In the final analysis, Jiang Qi and the others who have entered the cockpit actually occupy only a small part. The ones who really influence the process the most are those who are late, especially Sae Yang who is the finished product, and Chu Si who is part of the time.
"That's almost it." After adjusting the last bit of settings, Sae Young hit the next button.
Ding-
Tianyan: "The analysis of the past operation data has been completed, and the monitoring plan has been designed."
Sae Yang took the temporary remote control device and helped Chu Si relocate Mr. Shao to the seat in the monitoring booth. The old man is still a little unconscious and is slowly recovering, but at least there will be no life problems.
Chu Si glanced at the old man again, then walked back to the single cockpit, and said to the golden crows and the others: "Although I have mentioned it on the way here, I still want to remind again that the final adjustment result of this grid process is correct. For ordinary people, there may be only joy and no worries, but for everyone present, it is difficult to predict. Whether there is pain in this process, and how much pain it will be, I have not experienced it, so I can't know, but it may be better than when you were in the experimental cabin. The more received—"
Before he could finish speaking, the golden crow had already waved his hand first to signal that he was too lazy to listen any more. He still had a face that said "no one is happy", opened a single cockpit and sat in, while sneering at Chu Si. He said: "The word 'consequence' has no meaning to me, just like I can't understand the kind of 'cautious consideration', so there is no difference between saying it twice and saying it once, it is better to spend less Mouth."
The reactions of the others were similar to his, and they all entered the cockpit one after another.
This is a habit of thinking that they have formed over the decades, or it has been melted into their roots and become their nature.
When Sae Young solved the countdown problem of Chus, he truly realized the meaning of time crunch and death, so he gradually changed slightly.
But the Golden Crows they didn't.
Maybe this time the end will be an opportunity.
According to the parameters and settings mentioned by Tianyan, Chu Si and Sae Yang connected the twelve ports one by one to the ports in the cockpit. The wires extended from the huge cylindrical metal instrument, long and tangled. When everything is connected, it is like a huge net implicated in the body.
When the golden crow and the others held the gripper of the transparent cover with their fingers, Tianyan opened his mouth at the right time.
Ding-
"Warm reminder, according to the most accurate design plan, the cockpit screen can be left off. Generally speaking, being able to feel the presence of others around you will give people confidence and courage—"
The word "Qi" has just been exported.
The Golden Crow and the others slammed on the screen with expressionless faces. It seemed that they had no courage even a second later.
Sky Eye: "..."
The wiring in the cockpit was long enough for Sae Young and Chus to stand by the cockpit and help each other connect each one.
Every time one is connected, the sniffer tip that extends into the ear socket will make a light "beep" sound, like a countdown before some kind of ceremony, which makes people feel inexplicably excited.
Not long ago, when Chu Si was nestled in the inner cabin of the Black Swan, leaning against Sae Yang and looking out of the porthole, he was still thinking about a question—if the final choice of the fathers fell on his own head, to what extent can he do it? Woolen cloth
At that time, he felt that this kind of question was actually meaningless. After all, he had not really experienced it. Regardless of whether it was positive or negative, all assumptions were just assumptions.
But now it's different...
He stood where his fathers stood, doing what they had done before, and every time he connected to an interface, the figures of the two generations overlapped more.
Will it live? Will it die? Will it be painful? Or will it be forgotten
It turned out that those things that were assumed out of thin air before, really didn't think about it at this time.
It turned out that when they encountered the same thing, they ended up making the same choice.
He and Jiang Qi, Sae Yang and Elena; executive officers and prisoners, researchers and experimental subjects;
No matter how opposed the identities are, no matter how different the experiences are, in the rushing years, some things can always be passed down from generation to generation and will last forever. It's as if no matter what era, no matter what kind of disaster they encounter, there will always be groups of people who make the same choices as their predecessors.
This may also be another sense of immortality and immortality.
Ding-
"Monitoring scheme is loading, ready to start, waiting for instructions."
Sae Yang stood in front of Chu Si, looked at his eyes and smiled, and then pressed the remote control starter in his hand towards the surveillance booth where the eyes were located.
Ding-
"Received the command, the grid process continues. The countdown is 3-2-1-0."
Dear ones, there will be an appointment later.
Sae Young threw away the invalid remote control backhand, put his crooked fingers on Chu Si's chin, bowed his head and kissed it.
Behind them, the wires that connected the limbs like cobwebs lit up at the same time, and the frost overflowing from the open single-person cockpit instantly turned into a cold mist, billowing and rising, and the whiteness became a piece.
All the equipment suddenly restarted at that moment, and the huge humming sound was like the most magnificent tide, resounding in the underground space.
The stagnant world slowly turned the gears, and the chaotic time quickly returned to its original position.
When the gods fall to the ground and turn into hills, when the devil chooses to discard the scepter, when time crowns the tombstone, all living beings return to the world. - "Never Land"
