Not cold [Interstellar]

After leaving Abino, Ke Wei and Zhong Yue spent a year in the army.

The battle with the Zerg has never stopped, they have no holidays, no time to rest, they have been expanding their army non-stop, and fought in all directions on the border of the star map.

Jin Ran stayed in Abino for a year, which was beyond Ke Wei's expectation.Jin Ran has always liked the excitement the most. After everything in his body showed normal, he didn't even ask to return to the capital planet. Instead, he endured the desolation of the planet Abino and stayed there obediently.

Xuan Mian and Mrs. Jasmine's research progressed gradually, until one day, Jasmine communicated with Zhong Yue that she had nothing to study, and hoped to return to Abino once when Zhong Yue was free.

At this time, Zhong Yue decided to take a vacation.

He knew that Jasmine had already made the same choice as in another timeline.

There was no battle in the army, so he went back to see the old man for the last time.

Zhong Yue and Ke Wei decided to take military leave at the same time.Their vacation is short, and they have to go to many places like rushing to the market, but there is very little time for real rest.

Their first stop, Zhong Yue decided to take a detour to the alien space that he promised to take Ke Wei two years ago.

"Actually, this time is just right." After leaving the army, Zhong Yue poured red wine on the spaceship of the two of them.Because of Mrs. Jasmine's matter, he seemed to be in a heavy heart: "This heterotopic space is not something you can go to whenever you want 365 days a year, only this year, these few days, is the best time to go here. "

Ke Wei cooperated: "Oh, there is still time limit?"

Zhong Yue said solemnly: "You are right. Even if it is the same geographical location, I may not be able to enter. In addition to the three-dimensional coordinates, it is also necessary to add the calculation of time. Before the master left, mark me Out of all accessible time in 500 years."

"Heterotopic space." Ke Wei shook the wine in the glass, looking at the clear reflection on the wine surface: "Why is it called a 'heterotopic' space? Is there really a heterotopia in this universe?"

"When I was very young, my master brought me here once. He has been away for so many years, and this is the first time I have come here by myself." Zhong Yue fell into deep thought: "My master is from the Anta civilization, but he looks , It’s no different from us humans. He told me his identity before he left, and I asked him why he came to our human civilization? Do you know how he answered?”

Ke Wei listened carefully, and Zhong Yue seemed to be recalling his answer many years ago: "He told me, 'collect information'."

"What information are they collecting? I never figured it out. I asked him how I found him, but he didn't answer me. However, the next day, he disappeared from this world, and I never found him again. "

Zhong Yue said: "I have been looking for the Anta civilization for many years. No matter how I investigate, I can't find any clues. Until in another timeline, Jasmine voluntarily entered the crack of the universe, which made me understand one thing—— My master Mr. R, he may have long been gone in this universe we are in."

"This heterotopic space." Zhong Yue took a breath: "What kind of heterotopic method is it? If I have a chance, I would like to try it myself. But not now - the war against the Zerg cannot be separated from us now."

Ke Wei also said: "I don't know why, the Zergs are so rampant. I clearly remember that in another 6001 years, I was still studying at ease, and there were not so many Zergs on the border."

Zhong Yue also felt deeply: "And it's not that hard to fight. The terrifying improvement in the quality and quantity of the Zerg is obviously not good news for us humans."

"The military factory on Matthew's side has been established, at least we don't have to pay all of our own money to produce military equipment."

Zhong Yue also said: "Although the Holy See and the parliament tried their best to obstruct our military expansion, unexpectedly, an influential elder of the parliament turned his back on the court and expressed his support for the motion proposed by Yue Lais Those of us in Capital Star are going through a few months of bliss."

The same kind of bugs, after three months of fighting, Zhong Yue and Ke Wei discovered that they had evolved carapaces that were slightly resistant to human particle cannons.

Ke Wei looked worried: "Although we are all advancing with each passing day in weapon technology, the speed of Zerg evolution is really shocking."

Zhong Yue also said seriously: "Yes, at this speed... the possibility of human beings' future survival will be much lower than the world we were familiar with before."

Ke Wei sighed: "The current situation is really serious. Even the government members who frequently oppose our army, there are a few who have seen the situation clearly and no longer target our proposals like before."

"But this is also related to the Pope's serious illness." Zhong Yue changed the subject: "The Pope's physical condition has caused some pro-creationist parties to wait and see. My influence has risen rapidly, which is actually very important for us in the parliament. The expansion is very beneficial."

When Zhong Yue said this, he felt a little schadenfreude: "Although I don't know why the Pope suddenly became seriously ill, and his appearance is getting worse every year, but I still have a little hope that he should just get well."

Ke Wei remembered the cup of potion that the Pope forced him to drink, so he could only smile wryly.

He never told Zhong Yue about it.

Since all the medical equipment can't detect his physical condition, he doesn't want to drag Zhong Yue to worry about him.

After all, it is the Pope, and none of the things he can show have simple origins.

Ke Wei sighed silently.

After a long voyage, they finally arrived at the coordinates of the heterotopic space.

The nebula was magnificent and gorgeous, but he didn't see any aircraft or planets nearby, so Ke Wei couldn't help wondering: "Is it this place?"

Zhong Yue also seemed to be a little skeptical: "It hasn't arrived yet, I'll go to the Nebula to have a look."

The spacecraft shuttled among the colorful nebula composed of charged cosmic particles, and the fine light rushed towards them. They walked forward for a while, and finally saw a very strange-shaped building in the nebula.

It was half a small planet, connected to half a base building.

A complete planet and a complete building are cut into two completely different halves by a ruthless knife.Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is only half.

The nebula is also broken into two distinct areas here.

The planets and buildings on the side facing them have colorful nebulae, but on the side of the disappearing half of the planet, there is no light, only a black hole of darkness.

And when they were outside the nebula, they couldn't see the strange scenery here.

Ke Wei called up his personal terminal and shot a holographic video from a distance.

Zhong Yue's expression was very serious: "Master once told me that if I want to come here, I must enter through the main entrance. Absolutely, never go around to the side, and cannot enter that area without light."

Ke Wei also looked at the ominous black area, and murmured: "Heterogeneity...is there really a heterogeneity in the universe here?"

They entered through the main entrance, and when Zhong Yue walked to the main entrance of the base, the gate opened without a sound.

Zhong Yue walked in first.

Heterotopic space, empty and unsettling.

It was a vast expanse of whiteness that could not be seen, with no rooms, no people, and nothing.

There is only one passage at the entrance, leading to a long passage.The passage was so crystal clear that it was almost suspected that it was the road paved for them by the white mist.

Zhong Yue intertwined with Ke Wei and embarked on this road.The road they walked behind shattered like dust.

Ke Wei stopped and looked behind them.

The entrance has been hidden in the white light, and there is no retreat.

"Don't worry." Zhong Yue still looked calm: "Before my master left, he permanently opened the permission of his office area for me, and we can go to his place."

They walked forward, this place was indescribably weird, and all the existences did not conform to common sense. Walking inside, it felt like time was frozen into an abstract concept.

I don't know how long I walked before I came to a white round platform.

White light appeared from the bottom of the feet, covering Zhong Yue and Ke Wei respectively under the bright beams of the beam.

Feeling Ke Wei clenched the back of his hand suddenly, Zhong Yue stroked the back of his hand with the other hand, comforting softly: "It's just confirming our identities, don't be afraid."

The beam of light enveloping Zhong Yue disappeared, and in the void of the white light on the right, the white mist began to shrink, almost opening out of thin air, opening an entrance for them.

Zhong Yue heaved a sigh of relief, his forehead was covered with slight cold sweat, and he finally relaxed at this moment: "Baby, this is here, my master's work area... What are you looking at?"

The light beam surrounding Ke Wei still did not disappear, but Ke Wei did not look at Mr. R's office area.

There was something wrong with his expression, with empty eyes, he looked at the endless white light in the distance.

Zhong Yue felt uneasy, he walked over and grabbed Ke Wei's shoulder: "Ke Wei?"

Ke Wei raised his hand and said softly, "Look."

As Ke Wei's words fell, the white light in the distance dissipated like rain and fog, revealing a gray road.

At the end of the road, from gray to pure black, it is a darkness leading to nothingness.

Zhong Yue thought of what they saw from the outside, the other half of the split base.

In his ears, it seemed that what the master had said to him sounded.

"You must never enter that area without light."

The beam of light around Ke Wei turned gray, but spread into a gray wall of light.

The characters floating on the light wall do not exist in any human language.

Zhong Yue hurriedly said: "Translator!"

A piece of equipment flew out of Mr. R's work area in response, and was caught by Zhong Yue.

With a stride, Zhong Yue rushed into the area where Ke Wei was.

The gray wall of light accepted Zhong Yue, so the hands they held were still intertwined.

The translator translated the string of characters into human language: "The identity of the target is determined, it is the second subject of S reagent."

Zhong Yue suddenly turned his head to look at Ke Wei: "What experimental subject!?"

The voice of the translator is flat: "The target has met the 'death' condition, and the mirror world channel has been established."

Ke Wei asked blankly: "...what is it talking about?"

Their questions went unanswered.

At the dark end, a black shadow split from the black.

It walked out of the darkness and took the shape of a human body without any facial features. It just approached them step by step.
