Not cold [Interstellar]

three months ago.

The surface of the planet HS-464 is a boundless desert, and 30 out of 29 days a month, there are strong winds.When the wind blows, the sky is full of yellow sand, and you can eat a mouthful of sand by opening your mouth for a second.

It's just that the sand is poisonous, so you can't just put it in your mouth. The sand of planet HS-464 has unique physical structure and chemical properties, and carries radioactive elements that disturb the magnetic field of the planet.Therefore, if the sand enters the stomach, it may lie directly in the hospital.

Logically speaking, no one would run to this damned planet.

But there are exceptions to everything.

Zhong Yue's figure appeared in the yellow sand. He didn't lack any windproof sand hood, protective clothing, boots, and gloves. He was fully armed from head to toe, and carrying a hoe, he diligently dug holes in the sky full of loess.

A gust of wind blew against the direction the wind was blowing just now, lifting up the piles of soil he had just dug out, and blowing them neatly into the pit.

Zhong Yue swung down the hoe, seeing that the hole he just dug was filled up, he was very speechless.

"Forget it." He thought: "Let's wait for the good weather. In this kind of weather, except for a crazy person like me, probably no one will be outside."

Zhong Yue put away the hoe, carried it on his shoulder, and slowly walked back to his spaceship.

Before taking two steps, he heard the roar of the engine overhead from far to near.When Zhong Yue turned his head, a small personal airship with its left wing folded, made a hard landing with its hull kissing the ground in front of his eyes.

The strong air current was strong enough to blow people away, but Zhong Yue, who was a few steps away, stood firmly and did not move at all.

"How could someone come to this planet?" Zhong Yue frowned slightly, and his mind was full of thoughts: "No one knows that I am here, and no one knows... What is buried under this piece of yellow sand."

The vortex machine of the plane tilted to the ground burst into sparks with a "bang", smoke filled the cockpit glass, and the inside of the cabin could not be seen. The cabin door was closed tightly, and there was no trace of living people.

There was a burning smell in the wind, and Zhong Yue knew that the plane might explode, which was very dangerous. If the cabin caught fire and the fuel in the cabin was burned, it would cause an explosion.

Zhong Yue has rich experience and knows that in this situation, for the sake of safety, he should rescue the wounded as soon as possible and leave immediately.

Zhong Yue dropped the hoe, walked over to the outside, separated the restraint with a laser knife, and forcibly opened the locked hatch from the outside.

The door opened, and a person fell out of the half-tilted cockpit. Zhong Yue caught it, but before he could see the face of the person in his arms, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he turned the person in his hand over, took off his heavy gloves, and brushed away the hair sticking to his face with sweat and blood.

The person in his arms had lost consciousness, and after his body was turned over, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

This person... is Ke Wei who absolutely shouldn't be here at this time!

Zhong Yue was shocked beyond words.

Ke Wei frowned, as if he was in great pain in a coma, revealing half of his face cut by broken glass, unconsciously rubbing against Zhong Yue's arms.

Zhong Yue remained motionless, and said bitterly: "Ke Wei..."

He knew he had to do nothing but put him on the ground and walk away.Ke Wei, who was seriously injured like that, would end in this piece of yellow sand before his life started.

Zhong Yue revived his life and had already taken the lead.Knowing what will happen in the future, he already has the greatest advantage in the multi-party game.

Get rid of Ke Wei, the only variable will disappear, and he will have no worries.

As long as he is killed here... Zhong Yue thought, and his heart was stabbed severely.

He thought that his hot heart was frozen to ice by Ke Wei's ruthless betrayal.In the end, I was still reluctant to let go.

In the yellow sand all over the sky, Ke Wei became very difficult to breathe. He coughed a few times, with blood foaming from his mouth, but persistently grabbed Zhong Yue's sleeve, and weakly called out: "Help, save..."

Zhong Yue lowered his head, his eyes gradually turned red, and he couldn't do anything no matter what.

The wreckage of the plane behind made a "clack" and "clack" sound, and the explosion seemed not far away.Zhong Yue didn't hesitate anymore, touched Ke Wei's scarred side face, took off his wind and sand protection hood, put it on his head, and carried him into his spaceship.

Zhong Yue sent him to the nearest planet with a medical institution, and after ensuring that Ke Weihui would receive proper care, he left quietly.

He thought, since Ke Wei can't be killed, then stay away from him and don't let him get involved in this dispute.

Three months later.

Different time, same place.

After several jumps, Ke Wei finally arrived at the planet HS-464. His spaceship was suspended in the air, and was stopping at the crash coordinates reported to him by the Galactic Empire Spaceship Administration, but he could only see the continuous yellow sand in the sky and the earth.

Ke Wei: "Start the underground scan and scan the coordinates."

"Warning, the planet's magnetic field is disordered, the scanner cannot operate normally, the effective propagation distance of the rays, and the deepest area that can be detected is expected to be 5 meters."

Ke Wei: "How far is it, measure how far it is."

The artificial intelligence received the order and automatically turned on the ray scanning.After a while, the real-time scene underground was transmitted back to the plane.

Within a visible distance of 5 meters, he saw only a few parts of the plane that had been blown apart, but it was enough to be sure that the coordinates were correct.

Ke Wei studied the distribution of the wreckage of the plane underground, and determined that his plane had an explosion after the crash.The explosion blasted out a deep pit in the underground yellow sand, and the wreckage of the plane fell into it in pieces. The storm pushed the yellow sand back into the pit, deeply burying everything that happened on this land.

Ke Wei couldn't help sighing: "It's a wrong shot... I just hired a platoon of robots."

Ten drones landed under the command of Ke Wei, and more than [-] robot armies poured out mightily inside, and began to dig on the spot.Ke Wei landed the plane on a pile of sand not far away, quietly waiting for the excavation to be completed.

This time, they waited for a full twelve hours. From noon to late at night, they dug a full 20 meters into the pit.Removing the quicksand was laborious and took so long to finally unearth most of the wreckage found.

It was night, and the surface of the planet was not as hot as it was during the day. The temperature dropped sharply at night, and it was bone-chillingly cold.Ke Wei put on his protective clothing and walked into the yellow sand in the dark.

The drone lifted off, turned on the searchlights, and illuminated Ke Wei's body.Ke Wei stopped and walked, and looked carefully at the wreckage of the plane around him. He didn't find the black box, and he couldn't find anything else.

The explosion of the plane was very thorough. Even if there were any materials and information left, they were wiped out in the explosion. After three months of burying in yellow sand, what else would be left?

It's still a waste of time.

Ke Wei looked at the wreckage that had been blown into pieces of metal, and all the luster was worn away by the sand, and wondered: "Who is near this planet and saved me so precisely?"

He was seriously injured at the time, but he vaguely remembered the temperature of the man's palm across his face.Every nerve in him told him that the person who saved him was Zhong Yue.

But put aside his feelings, think and analyze rationally, at this time, Zhong Yue, why would he come to such a place where no shit?It's almost impossible.

Taking a step back, even if Zhong Yue went crazy and came to this kind of place, how could he be saved at the right place at the right time?To meet the coincidence of the two Arabian Nights, the probability is so low that it can not be counted at all.

Ke Wei sighed, he looked down at his personal terminal, operated to connect to the airship, told the airship to open the hatch, and was about to return.

But I saw a new scan from the spaceship—after digging a nearly 20-meter deep pit, the deeper underground image was transmitted to Ke Wei's personal terminal.

At 20 meters and more than three meters down, something was buried in the sand. It looked small and I didn't know what it was.Before, because it was covered with too much sand, I didn't even search for its existence.

Ke Wei suspected that this was the lost black box, so he was shocked and ordered: "Dig it out."

A mighty army of robots rushed forward.Two hours later, the thing was dug up.

This thing is not a black box, but a very small box.This kind of box is probably not used by anyone except antique lovers in the highly technologically advanced Galactic Empire.

This is a box made of logs, and its preservation method is also very "retro". After special treatment, the plastic film wraps the box into a rice dumpling. Ke Wei didn't even dare to cut it with a laser knife, because the laser scans the box. Wood will burn directly.

Ke Wei carried it back to his spaceship, found a short knife, and peeled it off with his own hands.

The antique-grade wooden box can be opened with a slight push without any protection measures.Ke Wei checked the contents of the box with the equipment in the plane, and after confirming that there was no danger, he opened it carefully with gloves on.

At this moment, the veil of time is removed, and the truth of history is gently revealed.

On the top is a stack of photos. This kind of static photos, developed on film paper, is not used in Interstellar. Except for museums and exhibitions, they are almost completely extinct.

The photo has turned yellow, with a heavy sense of time.The photo is of a slender, petite female human.Women's clothing is extremely rare in this era.

She was dressed in a plain black veil, which completely covered her from head to toe, and she wore a veil as thin as a cicada's wings, but it failed to cover her face.

She has a fair complexion, long black curly hair, a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and a light and demure temperament, which makes people forget the commonplace.

But at the moment when he saw this woman, Ke Wei's whole body froze.

He couldn't help but know this woman. In her previous life, she was called Mrs. Jasmine.

Her origin is mysterious and her identity is a mystery. In the entire universe, there are only a handful of people who know her existence.

In the previous life, after Ke Wei woke up in the dormant cabin of the Central Holy See, all the possibilities of him and Zhong Yue reuniting in the future were cut off by Mrs. Jasmine.

She is the reality that Ke Wei least wants to face.
