Extraordinary Era
Chapter 539 The Countdown Begins
At noon on June 11, 2043, Sun Chen and Mo Xiu separated from their families on the grounds of cultivation.
When leaving, Sun Chen finally couldn't help but blush. At this moment, he finally showed his reluctance. Mo Xiu beside him lowered his head and said nothing, feeling equally heartbroken.
Little did the family know that Sun Chen's farewell might be an eternal farewell.
Sun Chen didn't look back, gritted his teeth and used space transfer to quickly leave, heading straight to the location where the wormhole opened.
The wormhole opened in the desert of Xincheng, and it took the two of them half a day to get to the wormhole base.
The two came to a desert based on their location. Mo Xiu looked around and said, "No normal person would have thought that this would be a wormhole base."
After the last wormhole base was destroyed by the Sacrifice Cult, under the protection of the Zodiac, another wormhole base was built underground in the desert, still within the scope of the new city.
Saishenjiao also did not expect that China actually had a backup of wormhole technology and rebuilt a wormhole base, still located in Xincheng.
"It's quite big." Sun Chen smiled.
Even though there is no entrance, the two of them have used their mental power to detect the underground situation and know that this underground wormhole base is very large, at least as big as ten football fields.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, the sand dune in front of the two people suddenly sank, a crack appeared, and finally turned into a hole, from which Rat Head, Rabbit Head, and Lin Shuangyi walked out.
Lin Shuangyi's face was solemn. The moment he saw Sun Chen, his face turned pale and his mood was very low.
"The day has come!"
The rat head looked at Sun Chen and sighed, with unbearable expression in his eyes. If possible, he would be willing to replace Sun Chen with himself.
"Someone has to explore the darkness, why can't it be me?" Sun Chen said with a smile.
"Come on, everything is ready." Rat Head nodded, and then he, Rabbit Head and Lin Shuangyi led the two of them into the wormhole base.
Under the leadership of the three people, Sun Chen and Mo Xiu entered the underground, and the hole behind them quickly closed.
However, the underground is not darkness, but light.
"Da da……"
"Buzzing..."
This is a large and noisy environment, with countless machines running and working, some moving things, and some welding.
Sun Chen saw holographic image projections everywhere. White walking robots and flying robots were busy everywhere. Every staff member wore a uniform and had a sign on their chest. They all looked very busy.
Because they were led by Rat Head, Sun Chen and Mo Xiu passed the level without verifying their identities.
Coming inside, Sun Chen saw a countdown above his head, which was accurate to the second. Before he could ask, Rat Head explained: "We made a countdown with the goal of 3:21:43 on the 12th, and now it's still Less than 14 hours left.”
Sun Chen stared at the countdown, which would be his last time on earth, feeling inexplicably nervous and reluctant in his heart.
There were too many things in his hometown that he couldn't let go of, but he had to choose to leave. This was his fate.
Then they came to an empty place.
Sun Chen and Mo Xiu saw at a glance that a white wingless spaceship was ready. It was as huge as a mountain. From the outside, there were no exposed glass windows and it was completely closed.
"This is the second spaceship. We named it Yangfan, which means sailing and is a good sign." Rat Head introduced.
Mo Xiu flew around the Yangfan quickly, and then said strangely: "How can you see the scenery outside without a window?"
Tushou said: "Our space glass will shatter under the pressure of the wormhole. In desperation, we have to seal the entire spacecraft. If we want to explore the outside, we can only use mental power to explore."
In the final analysis, the level of technology is still not good enough.
But with Sun Chen here, there is no problem in exploring the surrounding area for dozens of miles.
"I'll take you in to get familiar with it." Rat Head said to Sun Chen.
The cabin door of the Yangfan was open, and the stair shelf in front of the cabin door had not been removed. Several people entered through the shelf.
The color inside the spacecraft is still mainly white. There are two main control positions at the front. The consoles are all written in Chinese characters. There are five seats in the back. In total, this is a seven-seater spacecraft.
Seeing seven seats, Sun Chen frowned and said, "Is there anyone leaving with me?"
"Of course, otherwise you know how to control the spaceship?" Rat Head said.
"Okay, I thought that after one-button activation, the artificial intelligence would control it, allowing the spacecraft to fly and shuttle automatically. All I had to do was sit down." Sun Chen said.
The rat head smiled and said: "It can indeed be so. When we did the wormhole stress test before, we used artificial intelligence to control it, but artificial intelligence is an emotionless thing, and some operations still need to be controlled by humans."
Humans know too little about wormholes. Faced with unknown environments, many complex judgments simply do not exist in artificial intelligence, so human choices are needed.
Then, the rat leader introduced Sun Chen to other places in the spacecraft cabin, including living areas, rest areas, entertainment areas and other small areas.
After the introduction, several people came out of the spaceship cabin. Sun Chen looked at the rat head and said: "This may be a departure without return. Didn't the senior tell the other six people?"
The rat head sighed slightly and said: "Of course they know how dangerous this mission is, but every era needs pioneers. China will remember your efforts and theirs, not to mention that you, a thirteenth-level genius, personally went out , it doesn’t hurt if they accompany you for a while.”
"I have to go, unlike them." Sun Chen said.
In Lu Ju's prophecy, he is the most important person, and it can only be him.
Tushou explained: "Don't worry, we didn't force anyone. We selected six astronauts from more than a thousand astronauts to drive for you on a completely voluntary basis. They already wrote their suicide notes yesterday. Do you want to write them?" ?”
A total of more than a thousand people signed up to participate in this dangerous task, and after screening, six people were finally selected.
They all knew the difficulty of this mission, and even prepared suicide notes, facing the danger calmly.
"My handwriting is too ugly, so there is no need for a suicide note." Sun Chen said with a smile.
In fact, he had already recorded the video and gave it to Mo Xiu. After he left, Mo Xiu showed it to his family.
Mo Xiu lowered his head and said nothing, not wanting to see Sun Chen leave. Like Lin Shuangyi, he was in a very low mood.
The head of the rat said: "This voyage is a secret mission. There will be no press conference and it will not be disclosed to the world. Only we know your contribution. Maybe many years later, this history will be made public. To outsiders, you are An unknown national hero.”
Sun Chen smiled and said: "When we were studying atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, didn't our ancestors also come here like this? I didn't expect that one day I would be like them. This is my honor. What's more, every person in this base People have been doing research in obscurity since the day they received the assignment. Compared with them, I am still a little behind."
Seeing Sun Chen smiling, they couldn't laugh.
Rat Head knew that the reason why Sun Chen was so optimistic was actually just to show them off, but the more he was like this, the more worried they became.
Feeling the low mood of Rat Head and others, Sun Chen said with a smile: "Be happy, don't make the atmosphere too tragic, just treat it as a space trip, and you will come back sooner or later. When the time comes, remember to line up a table of Sichuan food and wait for me. Celebrating my triumphant return.”
The rat head was deeply moved. He patted Sun Chen on the shoulder, grinned and said, "Okay!"
But, is there really a return date?
Raising his head, Shusou looked at the countdown above and said solemnly: "There are still twelve hours left. You go to rest first and get familiar with the other six pilots."
Sun Chen nodded and entered the rest area accompanied by Mo Xiu and Lin Shuangyi.
