On the roof, a large piece ten feet square is glass (I'm assuming it's glass) because it's a transparent solid. Outside the glass, there is an extremely deep darkness, that kind of darkness is a very wonderful darkness, it is not black, but an extremely deep deep blue. That situation is like outside the spaceship, there is a boundless, huge dark blue frozen! From the dark blue sky outside, we couldn't tell whether the spacecraft was stationary or moving. Bai Su and I just stared blankly outside, didn't even know that Ge Dapeng had come behind us, until he murmured: "I've never seen such a space, never before! "

Even Ge Dapeng, the famous interstellar navigator on earth a hundred years later, has never seen such a space, how can we know where we are now? Ge Dapeng was stunned for a moment: "We must have been far away from the solar system, far away from all galaxies. You see, there is only space in front of us, and there is nothing, nothing." We just feel cold, which is hard to imagine: far away from all galaxies, where is that?I slowly turned my head to look at Ge Dapeng, only to see his face full of confusion. Even he is so confused, I want to explore this answer, isn't it too overwhelming?Because in terms of interstellar navigation and space, his knowledge surpasses mine by more than ten thousand times!

We had nothing to say, Ge Dapeng waved his hands and walked outside, saying: "We have nothing to do but wait? Anyway, our food is sufficient and can last for many years!" I blocked his way: "Apart from this method, is there any other way?" Ge Dapeng said: "You can't ask me to push this spaceship!" I didn't want to quarrel with him, so I just calmed down: "Think about it, you are the greatest interstellar navigator in the 21st century on Earth!" Ge Dapeng's arrogance and anger disappeared immediately, and he said in a voice almost crying: "Yes, I am an interstellar navigator, but—" He pointed to the dark blue sky above, and said: "You can see Is it a star? There is not even a 19th-magnitude star, we don’t know where it is, we may have reached the endless outer space that no one has ever been to, and no one has ever dared to imagine!”

My Bai Su lost his voice: "Outer space? What is that place?" Ge Dapeng shook his head and said: "I don't know, outer space is the limit of human knowledge, not to mention you, even we don't know how big the space is, and what is there in the far, far away place is simply unimaginable." .” Bai Su's voice was the calmest among us: "All the instruments are damaged, can't they be repaired?" In the hearts of the few of us, there is only the concept of "the instrument is damaged", but we never thought that the instrument is damaged, and they can be repaired!

That's because we were too panic-stricken by the sudden change, and Bai Su was the calmest, she raised this question first. Ge Dapeng's spirit was lifted, and he glanced at Farazi and Gele, and I hurriedly said, "Is it possible?" Ge Dapeng nodded and said: "I think that within ten days, we can repair some of the main instruments, first measure where we are, and our astronomical map is still there. I think there is no problem. Of course , we'll check the powertrain first—" Bai Su excitedly said: "Then what are we waiting for? Why don't you act quickly?"

Bai Su's excitement quickly infected us, and Ge Dapeng said: "Of course, we have to wear radiation-proof clothes first. You two can help to some extent, can't you?" Bai Su said: "Of course, it's always okay to pass the tools." Ge Dapeng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I can hardly understand what you said. We have only one tool for any work, and that is the light control and the sound wave controller. Apart from that, there is no second tool." Planted, come! Come with me first, we will check the power system." I was at the end, and when I stepped out of the main room, I looked up at the boundless dark blue sky and wondered in my heart: Can the five of us—two groups of people from different eras—be able to pass through this place? What about film space?

I only hope that we can cross this boundless sky. I don't even expect to go back to the earth. I just hope that we can see the sky with planets again, and then I will be very satisfied. After leaving the main room, under the leadership of Ge Dapeng, we used the elevator to descend three floors and entered a room. Everyone put on thick anti-radiation clothes. Then, Ge Dapeng and Farazi worked together to unscrew a circular steel door. As soon as the steel door was swung open, a dark red light immediately enveloped the entire house.Ge Dapeng walked in first, and Bai Su and I followed behind tremblingly.

The first thing we see is a row of crystals shining with strange colors. It is difficult to describe this row of crystals exactly. In general, it is like the so-called "electric eye" of some automatic cameras today-the photosensitive sensor of a semiconductor light meter. plate. The colors on those crystals are extremely changeable, but every other time, dark red will definitely appear. In the radiation-proof clothes, there is a radio transmission device, and what everyone says can be heard by the rest.I heard Ge Dapeng utter a very happy cry. Bai Su and I asked at the same time: "How is it? How is the situation?"

Ge Dapeng nodded his head—actually he was nodding, but we couldn't see it, because the radiation protection clothes had a big hood, and the human head was covered in the hood, only from two pieces of glass, One eye was visible, and we saw one of Ge Dapeng's eyes moving up and down, so we guessed that he was nodding. Ge Dapeng said: "It's not bad. The shock destroyed some power transmission lines, but others were only disturbed. I believe it can be restored after sorting out." Farazi added: "After the power delivery is restored, hopefully some gauges will work, because the powertrain itself, has not suffered much damage."

Bai Su and I couldn't help cheering, but Bai Su and I had no choice but to watch and couldn't intervene. Because they use tools that we have never seen before.Moreover, the so-called "power transmission lines" are by no means the wires and other substances that we are used to seeing. They are just strands emitting beams of various colors. The pistols of various beams are also tools to stimulate the beam of light that looks like a ball of thread scratched by a cat. Then, the light beam was gradually straightened——afterwards, I realized that this is a power transmission method based on the mutual induction of material molecular spectral reactions. I can only know this, because my brain cannot accept the existence beyond me. The age of things is as far as a hundred years old.

Bai Su and I just looked around curiously and waited anxiously.After a while, Ge Dapeng turned on a communicator and spoke a word to it. Immediately, some zigzag ripples appeared on the fluorescent screen on the intercom.Ge Dapeng said excitedly: "A small part of the TV system in the main room is available. You two, go back to the main room and accept my order to test the restoration of the TV function." Bai Su and I are of course happy to accept this order.We backed out, took off our anti-radiation clothes, and then ran into the elevator hand in hand. In the elevator, Bai Su and I hugged each other tightly involuntarily. It has been so long since the two of us broke up. Until now, we have the chance to be alone. Although we don't know where we are, good or bad, but at this time, we both feel that everything is not important. The important thing is : We are together, we are finally together again.The elevator has already reached the floor where the main room is located, but we don't know it yet. Until Ge Dapeng's voice suddenly came from the elevator: "The two of you can start working?" With blushing faces, Bai Su and I smiled at a device that looked like a TV camera tube, and went to the main room together.We immediately saw very messy lines shining on the fluorescent screens of several televisions.Under Ge Dapeng's instructions, we adjusted it, and a total of five TVs were working normally. But on the screens of these five TV sets, there is only a piece of dark blue, a piece of endless dark blue. I reported this situation to Ge Dapeng in the power room through the sound transmission equipment, but I couldn't hear Ge Dapeng's answer, only the three of them sighed in unison, and another time passed. After a long time, Ge Dapeng said: "We are here, you wait." It didn't take long for Ge Dapeng and the other three to return to the main room. The expressions of the three of them were very depressed. I could see that something was wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong. After staying for a long time, Ge Dapeng pointed to a TV: "Have you seen it?" I glanced at the TV again, and said, "I see, there is no difference, it is still dark blue." Ge Dapeng smiled bitterly: "Yes, there is no difference. The camera tube of this TV is a light wave remote camera device. What you see is the situation ten light-years away." The complexions of Bai Su and I changed abruptly, and we said in unison: "You mean—" After speaking three words, Bai Su stopped, and I continued: "You mean, even if With the speed of light, if we fly for another ten years, we will still be surrounded by dark blue?" Ge Dapeng nodded: "The simplest explanation is this." Farazi crossed his hands and shook it vigorously, as if it wasn't his own head at all.While shaking, he groaned and said: "What is this place, what is it!" Ge Dapeng stood up reluctantly, and moved some buttons. There were dozens of pointers, which kept vibrating, and it took a long time before they stopped. Ge Dapeng turned his head, with a very strange look on his face: "Atmosphere, this dark blue layer is actually an air layer similar in composition to the earth's atmosphere. It contains oxygen, nitrogen, and a small amount of other gases. Humans can breathe here. Survive in the atmosphere." I smiled bitterly: "If we find a planet, then we may be the first immigrants on this planet." Ge Dapeng said: "If there is a planet near here, then this planet must be very similar to the earth. We can indeed become residents on the planet, but unfortunately there is no one here." Gele suddenly said: "Navigator, it may not be possible that there is no such thing. The light wave camera tube of the TV does not rotate properly. What it captures is only one direction in front, or in another direction. Maybe there are stars? According to the instrument in the power room , we are flying at an extremely high speed, which is beyond the speed of our power equipment, and there is the gravitational force of stars, so this kind of situation will happen.” Ge Dapeng smiled bitterly: "I hope so." He went to try other buttons, and after a while, he sat down again: "We still have no way of knowing what—" Before he could finish his sentence, he froze abruptly. Not only was he stunned, but we were all stunned too! On the dark blue screen of one of the televisions, a bright blob suddenly appeared. Not only can we see this cluster on the TV screen, but even when we look up through the transparent dome of the main room, we can also see that bright cluster, that cluster of bright light, which is undoubtedly a star. The light it emits is not strong, with a soft light blue color, and it also has edges and corners, which looks extremely beautiful. It was suspended in the dark blue sky, as if it was waiting for our arrival, Ge Dapeng got busy again, and after five minutes, he announced: that is a star, the speed of our spaceship, the closer it is to the star, the faster it will be. It is an increase, which is naturally caused by the attraction of this star.According to the ratio of acceleration, according to calculations, our spaceship will hit the surface of this star in seventy-one hours and fifteen minutes. Originally, we should have discovered this star long ago, but because most of the instruments were damaged, we didn't find it until we were only nearly three days away from it. With this change, we have nothing else to do but wait to land on that body for the time being. Ge Dapeng and the other three are still actively repairing everything that can be repaired, while Bai Su and I are responsible for observing the stars that are getting closer.The star is getting closer and more beautiful, and it seems that the whole thing is that pleasant light blue. And when we get closer to it, its light seems to gradually dim. Sometimes, we stare at it for a long time, and our eyes are dazzled for a while, and we can hardly find it in the dark blue sky.After forty-eight hours, we could clearly see the shape of the star.It is a planet because it is spherical.And around it, there are light blue clouds that seem to be very harmonious. We still don't know its true appearance. As for whether there are people above, we have no way of predicting it. At this time, our moods are very conflicted. We hope that there are advanced creatures similar to "people" on this planet, and we hope to be able to talk and deal with "them": but we are afraid that if there are "people", "people" may not be friendly to us. No matter what we thought, the spaceship was approaching that planet faster and faster. Ge Dapeng's calculations were quite correct. After more than 70 hours, the spaceship entered the "cloud layer" - light blue smoke -. The closer the spacecraft is to the planet, the faster it will be. It is conceivable that if it hits the planet, there will be extremely violent shocks. We have to prepare in advance.We came to a room in the middle of the spaceship. The surroundings of this room are all equipped with the best shock-absorbing equipment, and the walls, ceiling, and floor of the room are all made of sponge-like plastic, so people will not feel pain even if they hit it hard. In that shock-absorbing room, we waited for the last moment.Among the five people, no one spoke, it was strangely quiet. Ge Dapeng kept looking at the watch on his wrist. Suddenly, his voice broke the silence: "There are three minutes left, and the spaceship is about to land. Hold your head with your hands and bend your body to avoid shock." He hugged his head first, shrunk his body into a ball, and squatted on the ground. Every one of us followed his example, shrinking our body into a ball like that. When violent shocks come, it is easy to protect yourself. Those three minutes were the most difficult moment, because we had no idea what would happen after the spacecraft hit the planet, and we were like criminals who were sentenced. However, that second finally arrived.I first saw Gele and Farazi jumping up suddenly. Their bodies were still huddled together, but they jumped up suddenly. When I was about to ask them, Ge Dapeng and Bai Su also jumped up, and then, it was me. An extremely strong force bounced me upwards, causing my back to hit the ceiling heavily. Even though the ceiling is made of very soft plastic, I was hit almost out of breath. As soon as I hit it, I immediately fell down again. After the fall, the five of us were hit in all directions like five dice being shaken violently in a bowl. We don't know when this situation stopped. Because when this situation lasted for about five minutes, all five of us passed out. I was the first to regain consciousness among the five. I felt as if I was swinging very high. Then, I reached out and grabbed something to stabilize my turbulent body. . However, I immediately discovered that my body had stabilized and was no longer moving, and I didn't need to grab anything. When I opened my eyes, I first saw Ge Dapeng and Ge Le, with a strange twist, in one corner of the shock-absorbing room, while Bai Su was in the other corner, her hands were moving slowly Then, Farazi lay in the middle of the room with his hands and feet tied. I struggled to stand up and shouted: "Su, Su!" Bai Su opened her eyes and raised her head, with a blank expression on her face: "Where am I? Where am I?" Bai Su's words made me laugh, but I really couldn't laugh at all.I stumbled forward.Although the spaceship was motionless at this time, I still walked like I was drunk.When I came to Bai Su's side, Bai Su took my hand and stood up, but even though the two of us were close together, we still couldn't stand stably and had to lean against the wall. When the two of us were able to balance our bodies gradually, Ge Dapeng, Farazi and Gele also opened their eyes one after another. Farazi cried and asked, "Am I still alive? Am I still alive?" Ge Dapeng smiled wryly: "The five of us are still here at last, and we finally survived." Gele responded: "What new crisis is waiting for us ahead?" Ge Dapeng stood up abruptly: "We want to see, not stay here and think about it!" He leaned on the wall and walked forward, and when he reached the door, he stopped abruptly and said in a low voice: "Oh my God! " It was only then that the four of us noticed that the door of the room had become horizontal. Of course, the door of the room will not be changed. Since the upper and lower sides of this shock-absorbing room are all made of soft plastic, and there are no furnishings in the room, it is difficult to distinguish which one is the ceiling and which one is the floor. When he first woke up, no one had noticed the door. It wasn't until this moment that Ge Dapeng was about to open the door to go out that we discovered that the door was broken horizontally, that is to say, after the spacecraft hit the planet, it stopped horizontally, and the entire spaceship turned sideways. I hurriedly said, "It doesn't matter, we can still climb out." Ge Dapeng stood at the door with a gray complexion, and turned his head to look at me: "Although the spaceship is spherical, it has been specially designed. It should always be downward, and it should never be sideways." I couldn't say anything more. , because I don't know anything about the structure of this spaceship, I can only ask questions, and I said: "Then, now that it is horizontal, what is that for?" Ge Dapeng said: "I guess it may be because the impact force of the spaceship when it touched the planet was too great, causing it to sink into something solid, so it couldn't maintain its normal position!" Farazi exclaimed again, and he exclaimed, "If the ship is completely sunk in solid—" He yelped and clasped his head tightly in his hands. The four of us, when we first heard Farazi call it that, all wanted to reprimand him for making a fuss, but then we realized that Farazi's concerns might be exactly our current situation! The spaceship hit the planet with great momentum and sank deep into the planet. Isn't this very possible?This also just explains why the spaceship is fixed horizontally. Ge Dapeng said nothing more, opened the door and walked out. The spaceship's oxygen supply, pressure equipment, etc. are all supplied by the most perfectly sealed part of the center of the ship, no matter what the situation is, it will not be damaged, so we can still survive in the spaceship.When Ge Dapeng walked out, his feet were not on the floor of the corridor, but on the wall on the left.
