black sky

Chus originally prepared a day for the Golden Crow and the others to digest, but he didn't expect that he would end up among the people who needed to digest.

But in major matters, he is always rational, and it is not the first time to respond to such sudden events, so he digests and organizes quickly.When he came out of the medical cabin, his expression was normal, as calm as if he knew everything from the beginning.

What he didn't expect was that the group of Golden Crow digested it equally quickly.

They had a full meal, cleaned themselves up, and then gathered one after another at the management center where Chu Si and Sah Young were, and asked straight to the point without any preparation: "So what do you need us to do?"

When they asked this sentence, their tone was not friendly.

Chu Si didn't answer this question immediately, he looked at them quietly, and said: "I explained to you before that the reason why Sae Yang and I appeared here at this biological age is because of the appearance of the grid process. There were no surprises, and we believe that this surprise was caused by too many unexpected factors. The less interference, the more likely the success of the lattice process is naturally."

He paused, spread his hands and said: "So obviously, I need you to come with me to minimize the interference of unexpected factors and ensure the smooth progress of the grid. But the final decision is still in your own hands. "

The Golden Crow and the others showed a suspicious look, as if they didn't quite believe Chusi's last words.

"Don't look at me like this." Chu calmly said, "I admit that if your decision is contrary to my expectations, I will be very regretful, and I will not be very happy. I have countless coercive measures to force you You nod, I'm actually very authoritarian when I need to be. But today, at least in this matter, I'm not going to use any coercive measures.

"At the beginning, the experimental team didn't ask your wishes, and let you become the result of the experiment. Now that everything is over, I think you should have the opportunity to choose, otherwise there is no essential difference between me and the experimental team. gone."

The group of people was silent for a moment, and one of them suddenly laughed, and said half-coldly: "What you said just now is also playing the emotional card, isn't it? It is actually a kind of mental pressure."

"Of course." Chus nodded without hesitation, very calm: "I'm just trying to convince you, because I have expectations, and I hope you can do what I want. This is what anyone will do in anything. Some psychological tendencies do not need to be concealed or modified. As for whether you are affected or not, it is still up to you.”

Perhaps it was because he was too calm, but instead he had a natural driving force.

Perhaps it was Gray Wolf Set and the others who re-introduced themselves, the silent gaze of these people was not just pure silence.

Or maybe it was some other scene or a certain sentence that touched these people present.So after thinking for a while, they actually nodded like this——

"I don't mind walking with you."

"It doesn't matter."

……

The speed at which they agreed was also a little bit faster than expected, as if they were not making any major decisions, and it was just a matter of effort. What's more, this didn't mean that their tone was very friendly. Some even nodded with a slight smile on their faces. impatience.

They make decisions in a way that, at first glance, looks like they're walking out the door.

Chus thought they were too casual at first, but after thinking about it, if such a thing happened to Say Yang, with his character, it might not take two seconds to make a decision.

This may be the commonality of these experimental products. The particularity of their physique makes things big and small in their eyes.This kind of personality will make them seem dangerous and difficult in many cases, but at this time, it is a good thing.

Now that there is agreement on the outcome, there is no need to waste any more time.

Ding--

After a series of operating instructions, Tianyan said: "The location of the target Fort Barney has been confirmed, the protective cover has been opened, it is fully connected, and it is ready to jump."

"Count down for 5 seconds. 5—4—3—Successful transition ahead of time."

"The location of the target Fort Barney has been changed, the second confirmation has been completed, the protective cover is opened, and the jump is ready."

"The transition was successful."

"The location of the target Fort Barney has been confirmed three times—"

"The transition was successful."

……

The voyage this time was extremely smooth. The only episode was a confrontation between wanderers when passing by the border of the α star sector.

Chusi and the others didn't pay attention to which time and space it was, and didn't want to intervene at first, but at the moment they passed by, the besieged homeless suddenly forcibly cut into their public channel, with a young voice full of gangsters He shouted as if trying his luck: "Friend, don't watch the bustle when you pass by, just do me a favor!"

This sentence coincides with a previous wartime clip, when Truss used this sentence to let Carlos Black take his brothers on the aircraft to join the battle. Now that I hear this sentence, it is naturally impossible to remain indifferent.

He didn't know who the young drifter was, but for that matter, he didn't mind stepping in to help.

The homeless people who besieged that person were not small, but they were still not enough to see under the suppression of the space prison and the firepower of a hundred black swan combat aircraft.

That process was not even considered a "battle", and the group of wanderers withdrew immediately when they saw that the momentum was not right.

Chusi and the others didn't delay much, they were as silent and straightforward as when they came, and put on the jump shield after closing the fire.At the moment of the leap, the young voice of the besieged homeless man rang out again in the communication channel, smiling and exuberant: "Thank you, friend, we will see you later."

There will be a period later.

unnamed friend.

……

Nearly two hours later, they finally emerged from the jump point in the Fort Barney area and landed on that piece of land.

Chusi temporarily handed over the rebels who were under control to Seth the Gray Wolf, and then transferred to Black Swan with Sauer Young and the Golden Crow. The core disk of Tianyan's main body was also removed, and it was taken away with it.

The sound of metal collisions when the grapples were loosened and the sound of the rollers pulling up the long chain continued one after another. The black swans surrounding the space prison rose again, forming a formation amidst countless connections and snapping sounds, full of turmoil. The gust of wind blew across the sky and sank into the vast sea of ​​stars again.

Under the synchronous driving of Say Young, the Black Swan Brigade accurately found the entrance of the space-time curve.

Amidst the buzzing sound, the bright blue protective cover suddenly fully opened, reflecting a large expanse of starry sky, and hundreds of black swans leaped instantly, all entering the curved path.

The tremors and bumps in the curved track are much stronger than any jumps. Even wearing protective clothing, you can still feel the tearing feeling that is about to fall on the flesh.Chu Si and Say Yang had experienced it, so they responded well, but the Golden Crow and the others looked a little ugly.

It's not that they can't bear this level of discomfort, but this feeling may remind them of the days they spent in the experimental cabin.

But even so, no one temporarily regretted that they wanted to leave, but their expressions of impatience became heavier.

This time, the black swan did not break in the middle, and successfully reached the tarmac at the end of the curve.Hundreds of aircraft landed suddenly, the sound of running gradually stopped, and the entire underground space returned to silence, only a little white light at the end of the long track could be vaguely seen.

"I just checked the time." When everyone was walking on the track, Sae Yang turned his head and said to Chu Si, "What time do you think it is?"

Chu Si thought for a while, and said: "There is a problem with the grid program, when did we faint in the middle of the curve?"

Say Yang laughed, "That's right."

Everything is like a huge circle, after a long journey, it circles back to the original point again.

In the huge underground space, perhaps because of the cold and white light, it makes people feel a little chilly, and there will be some faint echoes even when speaking.

It was the first time Truss had actually stood in the space, the first time he had actually seen those huge interconnected complexes.This confrontation has been paved for decades, continued for decades, and spanned two generations, and now it is finally coming to an end.

They passed those one-man cockpits, most of which were locked, and the transparent covers were covered with frost, and Jiang Qi they should be sitting in them.Truss tried several times, but failed to open the cockpit to take a look.

Further inside these cockpits, there is a transparent cylindrical monitoring booth with instrument screens inside, but there is a person lying crookedly inside.

Chu Si strode in and turned the man over for a look, then frowned and said, "Master Shao."

He checked the old man's breath and heartbeat, and immediately summoned Say Yang to lay the old man on the ground and prop up his neck.

After a series of proficient first aid measures, the old man woke up with gasps, but his eyes still couldn't open.

"It's impossible to keep staring at the progress of the grid in this state." Chus said, "The body will collapse."

Say Yang thought for a while, stood up, took out the core plate of the main body of Tianyan, turned it over in his hand, raised his eyebrows and asked him for credit: "Then try this?"

"Sky Eye?" Chus was a little worried, "Are you sure it will work?"

"After all, there won't be a better choice. This thing has been upgraded anyway. It can independently design a plan to stimulate frozen capsules. It shouldn't be a big problem to keep an eye on the data of the progress of the grid." Say Yang thought for a while and added. , "What's more, the old man woke up and couldn't sustain the long-term consumption. It should still be possible to remind Tianyan with voice commands occasionally."

As he spoke, he entered the monitoring booth, connected the Tianyan core board to the port, and quickly tapped a series of settings with his fingers.

Ding--

Sky Eye: "Tianying γ Star's most advanced intelligent system, Sky Eye, sincerely serves you."

Ding--

Tianyan: "Why am I not in the space prison..."

Sae Yang fiddled with a temporary remote start device, and said: "I took you out, since you have upgraded, you have to do something serious."

Ding--

Tianyan: "Have you ever asked my opinion?"

Say Yang turned to Chu Si and said, "Sir, where is your 50001 highest authority?"

Ding--

Tianyan: "Sincerely serve you."

Chus: "..."

While adjusting the remote control device, Sae Yang flipped through the historical data on the screen, and after scanning a dozen pages at a glance, he knocked on the table and said: "If I understand correctly, the old man and the others seem to understand too much. I understand the meaning of the grid process."

Chu Si was taken aback, then turned to look at him: "What do you mean?"

"Looking at the prompts and data after the program is actually running, the point is not isolation." Sae Yang said, "It's connection. Because these are the so-called accidental factors present, when time is re-adjusting itself, Take these factors into account. Especially...you, sir."

In the words of Mond Hollis, the growth of Truth is intertwined with the contraction of time, time is a part of him, and he is also a part of time.

So...how is it possible to exclude a part of yourself when time is self-regulating?

Exclude these unexpected factors, as well as a part of yourself, and the result of the adjustment will not be truly balanced and stable.

In the final analysis, Jiang Qi and the others who have already entered the cockpit are actually only a small part. Those who really affect the process the most are those who came late, especially Say Yang as a finished product, and Chu Si as a part of time.

"That's almost it." After adjusting the last bit of settings, Sae Yang hit a button.

Ding--

Tianyan: "The analysis of past operation data has been completed, and the design of the monitoring plan has been completed."

Say Yang took the impromptu remote control device and helped Chusi relocate Mr. Shao to the seat in the monitoring booth.The old man is still a little unconscious and is slowly recovering, but at least there will be no life problems.

Chu Si glanced at the old man again, then walked back to the side of the single cockpit, and said to the Golden Crow and the others: "Although I mentioned it on the way here, I still want to remind you again that the final adjustment result of this grid process is correct. Ordinary people may only have happiness but no worries, but for everyone present, it is difficult to predict. Whether there will be pain in this process, and how painful it will be, I have not experienced it, so I can’t know, but it may be better than you once in the experimental cabin. Those received are more—”

Before he finished speaking, the Golden Crow waved his hand first to signal that he didn't want to listen anymore. He still had a face of "seeing no one is happy", opened a single cockpit and sat in, and sneered at Chu Si He sighed and said: "The word 'consequence' doesn't make much sense to me, just like I can't understand such things as 'careful consideration', so there is no difference between saying it twice and saying it once, it is better to spend less Thumb up."

The reactions of the others were similar to his, and they all entered the cockpit one after another.

This is a habit of thinking they have formed over decades, or it has been fused into their bones and become their nature.

When Sae Yang solved the countdown problem of Chusi, he truly experienced the meaning of time urgency and death, so he slowly changed slightly.

But the Golden Crow did not.

Maybe this time the end will be an opportunity.

According to the parameters and settings mentioned by Tianyan, Chusi and Say Yang connected the twelve people to the ports in the cockpit one by one. Those cables extended from the huge cylindrical metal instrument, long and tangled, When everything is connected, it is like a giant net implicated in the body.

When the Golden Crow and the others held the handle of the transparent cover with their fingers, Tianyan opened his mouth in good time.

Ding--

"A warm reminder, according to the most accurate design plan, the cockpit screen can be left open. Generally speaking, being able to feel the presence of other people around you will give you confidence and courage—"

The word "Qi" just came out.

The Golden Crow and the others slammed the screen cover expressionlessly.It seemed that even a second late seemed to them to have no courage.

Sky Eye: "..."

The wiring in the cockpit was long enough for Thay Young and Truss to stand by the cockpit and help each other connect each one.

Every time one is connected, the sniffing probe extending into the ear socket will make a soft "beep" sound, like a countdown before some kind of ceremony, which makes people feel a little emotional.

Not long ago, when Chu Si nestled in the inner cabin of the Black Swan and looked out of the porthole against Say Yang, he was still thinking about a question - what could he do if the final choice of his parents fell on him? to what extent?

At that time, he felt that this kind of question was actually meaningless, after all, he hadn't really experienced those things, and no matter the pros or cons, all assumptions were just assumptions.

But now it's different...

He stood where his fathers had stood, doing what they had done before. Every time he connected an interface, the figures of the two generations overlapped more.

Will it live?will die?Will it be painful?Or will it be forgotten?

It turns out that those things that I had assumed out of thin air before, when it really came to this time, I didn't think about it at all.

It turned out that when encountering the same thing, they finally made the same choice.

He and Jiang Qi, Sah Yang and Elena; the executive officer and the prisoner, the researcher and the experimental subject;

No matter how opposite the identities are, no matter how different the experience is, in the rushing years, some things can always be passed down from generation to generation and remain forever.It seems that no matter in which era, no matter what kind of disaster they encounter, there will always be groups of people who make similar choices to their predecessors.

This may also be another sense of immortality and immortality.

Ding--

"The monitoring program is loading, ready to start, waiting for instructions."

Say Yang stood in front of Chu Si, looked into his eyes and smiled, then pressed the remote control activation device in his hand in the direction of the monitoring booth where the Sky Eye was located.

Ding--

"The order is received, and the grid process continues. The countdown is 3-2-1-0."

Dear people, there will be a period later.

Say Yang threw away the useless remote control with his backhand, put his curled fingers on Chusi's chin, and bowed his head to kiss it.

Behind them, the wires connecting their limbs like spider webs lit up at the same time, and the frost overflowing in the open single cockpit instantly formed a cold fog, billowing and rising, forming a vast expanse of whiteness.

All the equipment suddenly restarted at that moment, and the huge buzzing sound resounded like the most magnificent tide, resounding in the underground space.

The stagnant world slowly turned its gears, and the chaotic time quickly returned to its original position.

When the gods fall to the ground and turn into hills, when the devil chooses to discard the scepter, when time crowns the tombstone, all living beings return to the world. ——"Neverland"
