The fireworks all over the sky gathered into bullets, the flames were caged into the barrel, the scattered planetary fragments reassembled, the edges merged, and the cracks disappeared;
The rotten leaves fly back to the branches, the crushed petals are repackaged into a ball, and the morning star falls to the sea;
The people in the frozen capsule got up one after another and went back to the kitchen, living room, street, shopping mall;
The bright blue light in the dragon column suddenly returned to the starting point, and then returned to the disaster transfer device in the City of Silver;
When the start lever is moved to the original position, the accepted command disappears from the screen;
The experimental material jumped out of the reaction pool and returned to the carriage of the transport shuttle, the door was closed, and it quickly retreated along the track…
Chu Si felt that he had a very long and absurd dream. The scene in the dream was always switching back and forth between forward and backward. The flow rate was so fast that when he opened his eyes and tried to think back, he found that he couldn't think of anything. stand up.
The place where I woke up had snow-white walls with several warm and bright watercolor paintings hanging on the walls. I heard the slight sound of the nutrition machine running, mixed with the indistinct sound of breathing.
The smell of disinfectant and nutrient solution was mixed in his breath.
This scene was too familiar, he was stunned for a while, almost thinking that he had returned to the White Eagle Military Hospital in 5702.
He glanced at the left half of his body subconsciously, and actually saw the wiring of the instrument.
The consciousness that was still a little confused just now wakes up in an instant!
The final result of the grid process is to go back to 5702 and start again? !
And what about the people he met later
What about Sae Young
What about Jiang Qi
Chu Si's brows were deeply wrinkled, and when he was about to sit up with the force support, the action affected the nutrition machine next to him, DiDi's reminder sounded, the door next to him was pushed open almost at the same time, and some familiar faces were in a hurry. rushed in-
Mr. Shao wearing a mask, his assistant Miller, some young medical staff, and Shao Heng.
"Hey, don't move!" Even if he was wearing a mask, he could see that the old man was holding a coffin face. With his antibacterial gloves, he pressed Chu Si back to the bed, "What do you want to do when your wound hasn't healed yet?! The condition of the organs was only stable this morning, and it hasn't been long before the mechanical body has been replaced with cultivated limbs. In particular, half of it can't be too hard!"
When the old man saw that the patient showed signs of rebellion, he was furious, and after talking and training, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a place farther away, "Obviously they came in together, look at the little... What's the point of Yang Duoan?!"
Young
Chu Si was taken aback and opened his mouth: "Who is safe?"
His voice was so hoarse that even he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care about it, but turned his head to look at Old Shao's fingers.
There was a nutrition machine blocking the view before, but now the nutrition machine has been moved by the nurses who came in, and the scene behind is revealed—
Seeing on the bed next door, Sae Yang was lying on his side with his eyes closed, and fell asleep facing him.
There was a heavy tiredness on the man's face, and there was a slight wrinkle between his eyebrows, but he still did not hide his handsomeness.
Chu Si watched for several minutes before confirming that he was awake and that he had read it correctly.
It was indeed Sae Young.
So he quickly calmed down and was honestly pressed back to the bed, listening to the old man continue to use Sae Yang as a positive teaching material, and reprimanded him for not caring about recuperation.
Shao Heng, who was wearing a sterile suit, listened to it for nearly ten minutes, and finally couldn't help but remind him, "Old man, Mr. Yang is because he hasn't woken up yet."
"Go out!" Mr. Shao turned his head and pointed to the door, "Why are you following up? Can you afford to interfere with his recovery?"
Shao Heng was helpless, he first waved at Chu Si, hehe smiled and shouted, "Sir, it's good to wake up, the newly transplanted limb recovered almost yesterday, I have heard Miller's report results, and also Saying that you can get out of bed when you wake up, the old man is too nervous by himself."
Mr. Shao glared at Miller immediately.
Miller: "… "
The young and gentle doctor raised his hands high to show his innocence. He took two steps back with a helpless face, and after standing shoulder to shoulder with Shao Heng, he squeezed a sentence between his teeth: "Captain Shao, can you betray me one less time? "
Shao Heng maintained a smiling face and faced the old man, "No."
Miller: "… "
They buzzed something, but Chu Si didn't really listen to it. His body was sunk on the soft hospital bed, but his attention had been withdrawn from his limbs, and he was always focused on his right hand, feeling Sa There was a low but even breathing sound from E Young's side.
After a while, he interjected a few questions in a hoarse voice: "Where is this? How long have I slept?"
"White Eagle Military Hospital." The old man put away his temper and replied seriously, "I've been dizzy for a year, and I was just moved out of the ICU yesterday afternoon."
The old man has a stubborn temper and insists on changing "sleep" to "dizzy", showing no mercy at all.
He wanted to say something else, but the reminder on his body started beeping again.
"You—" The old man looked a little worried at him.
Shao Heng has already opened his mouth, "The other beds are probably awake as well, you go, old man, don't stare at a person for training, I'm here to accompany you, if there is anything, I promise to call someone immediately."
Mr. Shao glared at him, checked the instrument display beside Chu Si's bed again, and then left with Miller with a stern face.
After the little nurse was busy beside her, with the help of Shao Heng, she re-adjusted the parameters of the nutrition machine for Chu Si, connected the wiring, and left in a hurry.
Shao Heng pulled the chair to the side of the bed and sat down, with his hands on his knees, and said to Chu Si, "It's like sending the Buddha away, my ears are getting hot."
"So what's the situation now?" Chu Si's voice was too hoarse, and he didn't like to use any effort to speak, so it was almost a low voice, "My memory is still stuck in the grid process of Barneysburg, and I can't keep up with you guys. topic of."
"You're asking what happened after the grid process?"
Chus nodded.
Shao Heng thought for a while and said, "How do you say this... In fact, when there was a problem with the grid process, we all fell into a state of shock, so no one can tell exactly what it was like. But according to the later extraction Judging from the data, after you restarted the grid process, the time began to adjust itself. And because the connection between the Dragon Pillar and the center of the City of Silver Experimental Zone was instantly cut off, it led to... A phenomenon similar to siphon, but the meaning of time and space Up."
He gestured and explained, "It is to go backwards at an extreme speed, and then move forward again, using the time difference and energy changes formed in the middle to change a lot of things, and at the same time achieve a kind of logical self-consistency in the space-time category. The original purpose of the grid process is only Cut off the link to prevent the City of Silver from getting worse and causing more irreversible consequences for us. But I didn’t expect the final result to be a bit beyond our expectations.”
"What's the meaning?"
Shao Heng said, "The results obtained by the research institute say that hundreds of times of continuous advancement and retreat have led to the stabilization of reality at a rather strange point - the City of Silver had a little time error when transferring the disaster, So our planet stopped the car at the moment of shattering."
"Just at that point - people have already hid in the frozen capsules and activated the cryonics and started to fall asleep. The global earthquake in the early stage of the collapse has destroyed many places. Rescue is still needed, and people who are against the time experiment will still appear. , the battle with the City of Silver has also started as usual, and you still went to the underground of Fort Barney to start the grid process to avoid further expansion of the disaster."
After he finished speaking, he shrugged and said: "Most of the things that should have happened still happened, but the total time was slightly advanced. Before the moment when the planet cracked, the rest was repaired by the seams of time. The lower series forms a circle. The research institute said, this is probably a kind of risk aversion of time? It avoided the energy disorder of the level of the collapse of the planet, and chose to gather those bad things in a small area. "
Chu Si couldn't help but ask: "Which small area is so unlucky?"
Speaking of this, Shao Heng became happy, and even gloated a little: "It's not bad luck, it's self-inflicted. A few months ago, a little news was leaked from the City of Silver, saying that their time experiment zone appeared. The energy and space-time disorder caused by the experiment, and because the shielding tape around the experimental area forgot to remove, caused the disorder to be enclosed within the experimental area, forming a closed space-time cube, and all the chaos will be in that closed area. The error value of each cycle is the consumed part. This situation will stop until the chaotic energy is completely consumed. It is conservatively estimated that it will take nearly 220 years. This time-space cube alone is enough for the city of silver. It's okay, at least for the past 220 years, they have some scruples about stopping."
220 years is such a long life.
Chu Si felt a little emotional.
"Just this matter made me believe two words." Shao Heng stretched out his long legs and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair with his arms folded.
"what?"
"Sacrifice is always worth it. And... sins are always repaid." Captain Shao felt at ease, but he paused after shaking his feet a couple of times, and said seriously, "But if you lie down for a whole year, you will be dead. Physiological data, it looks like a row of tombs waiting to be sealed, especially yours! If you follow the normal procedures, the critical illness notice you received this year can be made into a planetary civil code, plus Mr. Yang the Penal Code—"
He laughed dryly, "The old man is going to have a heart attack from you, otherwise he is so nervous."
Chu Si turned to look at Sae Yang, "That Sae-"
"Don't worry, sir, it has stabilized, but it may take another two days to wake up completely." He said and tapped his temples with his finger, "This is actually good news. Because the time self-adjustment is nailed to the current stable state. , it will no longer fluctuate arbitrarily, so the experts from the hospital and those from the research institute observed together for three months, saying that the chip found in your brain, and the time experiment biomimetic tissue in Mr. Yang's body, Finally, it can be removed safely. Otherwise, it may be troublesome in the future, and it is easy to consume excessive physiological energy. In the middle of last month, the doctor performed an operation on each of you. Mr. Yang peeled off and replaced too much tissue, so he would wake up a little later. "
"Oh, by the way, without the influence of the chip, you don't need to continue to use the machine on the left half of your body. The old man used your DNA to grow the limb, and it has been replaced for you just like the original one. If you don’t go out, you can move properly, but it’s best to be gentle on the left side for the past six months.”
Chus: "..."
He was silent for a while, then opened his mouth and said: "Since time has found a stable point in countless times of running-in, and it continues, why do I still remember those things after the crack?"
Shao Heng said: "I also remember, in fact, everyone involved should remember it. According to the conclusion of the research institute, what happened during the process of self-adjustment and running-in hundreds of times over time is also left in our brains. The traces, we just don’t think we remember them. Maybe one day, we suddenly feel that a certain scene is familiar, just happened in the repeated running-in. This kind of memory remains... Maybe it is a wake-up call, or a commemoration. "
But whether it's a wake-up call or a commemoration, it's all good.
"So it's over?" Chus asked.
Shao Heng nodded, "Yes, it's over."
He said, and remembered how he got up and walked to the window and opened the curtains, "The location of this ward is very good, the field of vision is wide, you can see far away, it is too wasteful to block the curtains. You can see that the sky is already white. Well, I guess the sun is coming out soon."
Chu Si made a sound of "um", then looked at Sae Yang's hospital bed next to him, and said to Shao Heng, "Since you have stood up, just do me a favor."
"what?"
"Put the two beds together."
Shao Heng: "..."
He looked at Chu Si silently, and Chu looked back at him calmly, as if he was asking for normal requests that patients all over the world would have, like pouring a glass of water.
After a while, Shao Heng said with a subtle expression: "Fortunately, the old man is not here."
Chu Si raised his eyebrows: "What?"
"You don't know, when you and Mr. Yang restarted the grid program, my old man just regained consciousness, and he could see..." Shao Heng stopped and said.
Chu Si nodded as usual, "So?"
Shao Heng thought for a while and said, "For my old man who feels uncomfortable when he sees people hugging in the street, you and Mr. Yang gave him a lot of stimulation. I guessed rationally, and I guess he was conscious at the time. Immediately blurred for a few seconds."
Chu Si finally couldn't help laughing.
Shao Heng murmured, and in the end, he honestly loosened the rollers under the bed and moved the two beds a lot closer, but they didn't fit together completely, lest it would be inconvenient for doctors and nurses to come.
After the bed was adjusted, Shao Heng said that it was almost time, and brought Chu Si some medicine to moisten his throat.
When he went out, Chu Si could clearly hear the guards guarding outside saluting with their heels together.
Sae Yang was still sleeping soundly, Chu Si squeezed his exposed fingers and pulled the quilt back.
While doing this, a bright color suddenly appeared in his peripheral vision, and when he looked up again, he found that the sun came out at the far edge of the field of vision outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
It wasn't until this moment that he really realized that the long seemingly endless black sky finally passed, and a large tract of morning light came up from the sky, and even a few beams had crossed the boundless land and passed through the clean glass. , spread it all over the house.
The clock on the wall shows planet time and weather—
April 12, 5715, sunny.
Chu Si turned off the lights in the room and quietly watched the clear sunlight come in little by little, coating the beds, tables and chairs with a furry edge, wrapping everything bright and gentle.
You see, after all, there is still a period of time.
He woke up at the right time, just to be able to reunite with the person he missed in a gentle warm spring.
