Puppeteer [Interstellar]

And at night, the students basically lay on the bed and began to sleep with their heads covered. One fell asleep faster than the other, and after a while, all of them snored in different sizes.

Lyle and Ska spread two sleeping bags and slept together in a corner, because the container he slept in was full of girls except him and Ska, and it was not easy for Lyle to bother the girls changing clothes. , A simple curtain was erected to separate the two sides.

Before going to bed, Lyle fiddled with his personal terminal. He found that this container might also be able to screen the signal of the personal terminal. Although there is a space signal displayed on the terminal, the speed of connecting to the external network is extremely slow, and the progress is almost zero.

Lyle tossed for a long time, but finally chose to give up. It seemed that he felt that he had to get out of this container and find an open place to connect to the planetary network and get in touch with Clarence.

But if they go out, the soldiers of Major Gary outside will take turns to patrol. They will patrol around the entire container area at night in groups of two. Anyone who opens the container and comes out of it will be spotted by them immediately.

Moreover, the door of the container opened very loudly. If Lyle opened it casually, the sound would be discovered soon, and he had nowhere to hide.

However, if he stays in the container, his personal terminal cannot be used.

In fact, there are many opportunities to use personal terminals during the day. After all, Major Gary and his group of soldiers just lead the team to rush forward during the day. Lyle can open his own terminal and find an opportunity to give Claren Sent a message out.

It's just that Lyle also overlooked one point, that is, he really didn't expect it to be so cold outside, the environment was so harsh, it was so cold that he exhausted all his energy just by walking forward with all his strength.

So much so that Lyle didn't have time to bother with his personal terminal, let alone take the terminal out of his pocket, and then press a button to edit a message and send it to Clarence. Such a simple process was extremely difficult for him. Something that takes time and energy.

When Lyle thought about it, he suddenly felt agitated. What he thought was simple, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult in practice, so that Lyle felt restless.

So he huddled in his sleeping bag and rolled over and over. Ska, who was next to him, felt him rolling, and crawled out of his sleeping bag and into Lyle's sleeping bag.

The sleeping bag was not that big, so two people were squeezed in, and the whole space became suffocated. However, after being warmed by Scar's body temperature, Lyle felt very heartwarming. He lay happily on Scar's chest, Unable to restrain the corners of his mouth, he buried his face into Scar's neck.

As long as he thinks that a beautiful man as big as Scar belongs to him from head to toe, Lyle will feel so happy, so happy that he wants to hang on Scar's body for the rest of his life and never let go.

It may be that his happy emotions overflowed, and Scar couldn't help but put his arms around Lyle. He lowered his head and bit Lyle's lips, licked his lips, and bit a red mark on his cheek.

The two hugged each other and rolled around in the sleeping bag, wanting to have a deeper lingering hug, but they couldn't make it too obvious, because it would wake up the sleeping classmates next to them, so Lyle could only endure it , it seems that I can't be too close and loving with Scar this week.

The night passed peacefully like this, but in the middle of the night, which was around 4:[-] a.m. based on earth time, Scar woke up Lyle.

He woke up Lyle with a lingering kiss. Lyle woke up and opened his eyes in a daze. It was too dark in the container to see clearly. The container was also very quiet, and Lyle could only hear The sound of the howling wind outside crazily blowing against the metal outer wall of the container, and the shallow breathing of the girls sleeping on the other side of the curtain.

Scar slowly crawled out of the sleeping bag. After he climbed out, Lyle felt that most of the warmth in the sleeping bag was taken away by Scar's getting up, which made Lyle hold Scar's hand reluctantly, and Scar loved him. , leaned over and kissed Lyle on the forehead.

Lyle knew that it was not too late, so he also crawled out of the sleeping bag. The air outside made him shiver uncontrollably, and he shivered all over. Five divided two wrapped Lyle.

After putting on the clothes, he put on the protective clothing and backpack, and then Lyle and Ska sneaked to the door of the container. Lyle looked down at the time displayed on the terminal.

In the end, Lyle decided to get in touch with Clarence as soon as possible. After all, if Lyle's actions were one night later, Clarence's spaceship would arrive one day later. At that time, wouldn't Caesar still be unable to get on the one sent by Clarence? spaceship.

So in any case, Lyle must get in touch with Clarence this evening.

For this purpose, he ordered Scar to observe the shift time and patrol trajectories of the patrolling soldiers outside at night. This was easy for Scar, as he only needed to listen to the movement of those soldiers.

Although it will make it harder for Scar, because he probably didn't sleep much tonight.

Although these soldiers are patrolling in turns, it feels uncomfortable to wake up at night, and it is still freezing outside, which will make people feel physically and mentally exhausted. It may be okay in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, the vigilance of the patrolmen The sex will be greatly reduced, and there will be some gaps in the shift time, allowing Lyle to seize the opportunity.

Therefore, Scar will wake up Lyle in the morning after grasping the patrol trajectories and free time of these soldiers. They will get out of the container in advance, and then spend a little time outside to contact Clarence.

When they came back, at that time, Major Gary probably woke up the students and assembled the whole team.

Immediately afterwards, Lyle and Scar could pretend to be one of the students who had just woken up and sneak in to gather together.

Ska grasped this little action very well. He woke up Lyle at the most suitable stage. When he felt that it was about the same, he nodded to Lyle, and the two of them pushed the door of the container slightly. Through the gap, some of the cold wind from outside came in, drowning out the loud noise when the door was opened.

Then the two quickly came out again and closed the door of the container. There was no need to worry about the girls sleeping in the container, because Lyle greeted them before going to bed.

Just now when Lyle and Scar got up, Scar also went over to wake up the girls carefully. After waking up, the girls were temporarily put on air filter masks, and after Lyle and Scar went out and closed the door, the next day After a while, the air optimizer will purify the bad air that seeps in from the outside. At this time, they can take off the air filter masks, and then continue to lie safely in the sleeping bags for a long sleep.

At this moment, Scar and Lyle were already outside the container, and the temperature suddenly dropped a lot, which made Lyle tremble all over, but he quickly endured it firmly and followed behind Scar, Observed the surrounding environment.

The far star is a planet very, very far away from the star, so it is dark all year round on this planet, without any light at all, it is a real "eternal night".

At the same time, the rotation of the distant star and the rotation around the star are relatively slow. If calculated according to the time on the distant star, the planet has about 68 hours a day, that is to say, a rotation of 68 hours is equivalent to three days on the earth. Four hours less.

And there are 887 days in a year on the planet, which means that it takes 887 days to go around the star, which is a little less than three years on the earth.

But human beings are used to 24 hours a day, eight hours of labor, eight hours of sleep, and the remaining eight hours are used for eating and leisure.

This kind of view of time is not very reflected in the base at first, but it is very obvious outside the base. The rotation speed of the planet is very slow, and at the same time the gravity of the center of the earth is relatively heavy, which also makes people feel It is very uncomfortable, and the air is completely unsuitable for the human respiratory system. It is indeed a very deadly act for human beings to move around in such a harsh place.

And the behavior of Lyle and Scar to leave the camp alone is also a desperate act. They bypassed the opportunity to meet those patrolling soldiers, walked into the strong wind not far away, and found a A depression in the ground so that it's out of the wind, Lyall began testing his personal terminal.

Thanks to the crystallization of human wisdom, the great technology of civilization, things like the planetary network are undoubtedly the greatest technological invention in the history of mankind, Lyle thinks.

Star Network, referred to as Star Network.A super giant network coverage area covering the entire central galaxy, but beyond the scope of the central galaxy, the star network area cannot be covered, such as the earth, which is also a place that the star network cannot cover.

It is said that the star network was first proposed by a scientist who specializes in the study of the Zerg language. The scientist said that the Zerg can communicate in the universe and use their special senses.

The Zerg has an extraordinary sense of direction in the universe, knowing where to go to find a suitable planet with food, the Zerg can also be in the universe... even if separated by hundreds of thousands of light-years, they can still be with very The same kind of communications in distant places get in touch with each other.

The star network was established based on this principle. They studied the communication and communication between the Zergs. They used technological means to simulate this communication method. After countless failures and experiments, they finally established the so-called " Star Network".

Generally speaking, Starnet is somewhat different from Zerg's communication method. Firstly, this kind of network is not flexible enough and is easily blocked; secondly, it is not stable, and there are often disconnections; It is susceptible to interference, so it is not safe enough.

But it also has advantages. Being able to cover a super-huge range of a galaxy is its advantage; being able to achieve instant communication anytime, anywhere in the galaxy is also its advantage; these two advantages can make up for all its shortcomings.

So Lyle and Clarence communicated. When he used the communication software to call the old man and saw the sleepy yawning old man appear on his screen, Lyle almost cheered.

And obviously, Clarence over there was woken up by a call while he was in a drowsy sleep. When he was about to yell at someone who was up late at night and making harassing calls, he saw Lyle was a little bit frozen in the cold wind. With a flushed face, Clarence was instantly shocked, so shocked that he shivered all over!He leaned back inadvertently, and stared at Lyle in a daze.

"Good morning, Clarence." Lyall smiled grimly at him through the transparent cover of the helmet.
