"Dong dong."
Xing Biqi was startled when he heard the knock on the door. He hurriedly stuffed everything into his bag and said anxiously: "Who... who is it?"
"I am the Master of Time and Space UP."
"U...Up Lord..." Xing Bi's consciousness tightened his foreskin.
"Um."
"What's up?"
"Ward rounds."
"Check...ward rounds?" The girl was stunned.
"Everyone checks and asks how the living experience is. Open the door, or I can open it myself."
"Ma...will be here soon." Xing Biqi stuffed her bag into the quilt, took a deep breath, walked to the door, nervously opened the door, and timidly stretched out her head: "Hello...hello..."
"Hello." Chen Yu nodded, squeezed into the room, and pretended to look around: "It's been more than twenty minutes. How do you feel about the room? Is there anything that needs to be changed? It can be changed soon."
"No." Xing Biqi shook his head violently and took a few steps back: "Great, very satisfied."
"Really..." Chen Yu had no idea what politeness meant. He sat carelessly on the sofa in the living room and pushed up his mask: "But your mood has been very low since you boarded the spacecraft. I thought you were dissatisfied with the voyage."
"You...I'm flattered that you say that."
"Don't think too much, everyone has gone on rounds." Chen Yu said nonsense in a serious tone.
"Thank you very much. It's really nice here." Xing Biqi bowed.
"Is it because you haven't waited for your boyfriend?"
"Ah? Ah..."
"I didn't wait for him, did you feel dissatisfied?"
"No! Not at all!" good."
"Actually..." Chen Yu leaned back on the sofa and looked up at the stars: "Maybe he is very lucky."
"What?"
"Nothing." He stood up, pointed upward, and said, "Do you know the name of that star?"
Xing Biqi looked in the direction of Chen Yu's finger and narrowed his slightly short-sighted eyes: "No... I don't know. I don't know anything about astronomy. I don't know anything."
"That star is called Sirius, also called Alpha Canis Major. On Earth, apart from the sun, it is the brightest star we can see, and is often even brighter than Mars in the solar system. It is very close to us, only 8.6 light years."
"Really..." Obviously, Xing Biqi was not very interested in this topic.
Being alone in a room with the Master of Time and Space UP in front of her made her feel nervous, embarrassed, and a little irritable.
"That is a romantic star. He has a very beautiful legend about love."
"..." Xing Biqi took a step back in silence.
"Want to hear its story?"
“…”
Seeing the girl's uncooperation, Chen Yu didn't care, and said to himself: "According to legend, a long time ago, there was an orangutan named Sirius who was pursued by a human girl who sold matches. But Sirius always felt that he was in conflict with the other person. There will be no good results if people of different races get along. But it couldn’t bear to reject her for fear of breaking Match Girl’s heart. So, it killed the girl.”
Xing Biqi: "..."
"The road to the underworld was long and dark. Knowing that the girl was afraid of the dark, Sirius did not hesitate to light himself on fire with the match in the girl's hand, sacrificing his life just to light the way to the underworld."
Xing Biqi: "..."
"When the passing God saw this scene, he was immediately moved by the pure love. He added a fire without hesitation, making the Sirius burn even more intensely. In the end, the Sirius had nuclear fusion and became the brightest star in the night sky. That star will always burn for that girl.”
Xing Biqi: "..."
Smacking his lips, Chen Yu closed his eyes, comprehending the bond between Sirius and Match Girl, and said quietly: "How is it? Is this story romantic?"
"Lang...lang...romantic..."
"Then..." Chen Yu looked at Sirius: "Do you want to go to that star?"
Xing Biqi didn't know how to refuse, so she forced a smile on her face and said, "I want to go."
"Then make a wish for it. If Sirius hears your wish, he may grant your wish."
"I… "
"Close your eyes and make a wish."
Helpless, the girl had no choice but to close her eyes, leaving a gap, and while monitoring Chen Yu, she said silently in her heart: "I don't want to go to that bad place... unless I am with Chen Yu..."
"I...I'm done with my promise."
"Yes." Nodding, Chen Yu said nothing more and went straight to the door: "We will pass through the asteroid belt soon. We will come out to see the faster-than-light voyage in a while."
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome, goodbye."
"Thank you! Thank you very much!" Xing Biqi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "Goodbye (no more goodbye!!)."
"Wow."
Opening the metal door, Chen Yu walked out of the room and then closed it tightly.
"Sure enough, I am an expert at picking up girls. I can easily make girls fall in love with me..."
Thinking back to Xing Biqi's ever-appreciative look when he went out, his steps were a little shaky: "Does this count as being green?"
…
Three minutes later, the R-type deep space ship quickly passed through the asteroid belt. Chen Yu put on his helmet, gathered all the interactors, restored the audio input in the live broadcast room, stood in front of the camera and said loudly: "Half an hour has passed. I believe everyone Have you been waiting for a long time? The spacecraft has successfully passed through the asteroid belt and has reached the outer layer of the solar system in a narrow sense. After that, we will wait for the spacecraft to slowly slow down until it stops completely, and then we can start the ultra-high-speed engine."
"In order to shorten the flight time to the greatest extent, I am going to move forward at full power regardless of the consumption of dark matter. Friends in front of the screen, please fasten your seat belts. By the way, the number of IDs following the live broadcast room at this time has exceeded 180 million .”
[It finally started!]
[Sit and wait.]
[Nearly 200 million people! Awesome.]
[The anchor is really popular.]
[Some people have already discussed it on the post bar and in the bib, but it doesn’t seem to have been deleted officially.]
[It cannot be deleted at all.]
[I really look forward to what the world will look like after today’s live broadcast. (dog head)]
[100% global headlines.]
[I am an old viewer! I watched it when the UP master reviewed the 404 hot wire gun! Come and worship me.]
[Shadow, am I pretending to be cool since I started evaluating nuclear energy laboratories?]
[Having grown up watching UP, am I pretending to be cool?]
[Having competed for egg cells with UP, am I pretending to be cool?]
[…]
[Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend...]
[I don’t know if blue shift can be seen after exceeding the speed of light.]
[Where has the female assistant gone?]
After another five minutes, the spacecraft completely reduced its speed to 0 meters per second.
"That's it."
After carefully observing the data in his mind, Chen Yu turned the camera to a better angle and said in a serious tone: "It took thirty-nine minutes, and we finally arrived at a position close to Jupiter. Without the strong gravitational constraints of the solar system, now we are Can initiate faster-than-light travel.”
"Soon, we will step out of the cradle. This will be the greatest moment for mankind. Everyone in front of the screen will witness history again."
"Target Proxima Centauri and see if there are any Trisolarans there." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the starlight ahead. Under the attention of hundreds of millions of people, Chen Yu loudly announced: "The hyperlight engine..."
"start up!"
"hiss-"
