What is there in space?

There are almost complete mechas—although the mechas were more or less damaged due to the self-destruct of the spaceship, it can be seen from the video that the overall skeleton of the mechas has not been damaged. Except for the precision instruments, it can generally be maintained as it is.

There are interstellar spaceships—even though they have self-destructed, it is impossible for such a large spaceship to be reduced to fly ash, and there must be many wreckage left.It’s just that they were sent a little far by the aftermath of the explosion, and it’s impossible to collect them all, but as long as one or two important parts can be retrieved, their value is equivalent to an escape pod.If you can get a recording device such as a black box that records the flight journey and important data of the spacecraft, it will be like a dream.

There are also those monsters that can come and go freely in a vacuum-although they have all died inexplicably and even their bodies can't be found, but if they can collect a little hair, bones, flesh and other things that carry genes , it is possible to grow them in the laboratory.Moreover, the reasons for the sudden death of those monsters also need to be investigated, and there may be other discoveries.

As a result, all countries rushed to send the spacecraft that had been researched for a long time into the sky, intending to seize the biggest piece of cake in the ruins of the battlefield.However, aerospace technology is not something that you can have if you want it. Except for countries like sugar country and nut country that have been researching and innovating technology for decades, countries that are almost even close to launching communication satellites have to rely on the power of other countries. No matter how envious looking at space at this time, he can only hope that the big country can eat some meat for himself and leave some soup to drink.

In the next period of time, spacecraft carrying people or robots were launched one after another. Because it was too hasty, even two rockets were not technically qualified, and they exploded shortly after launch.This is because the news of the discovery of Moon City by the Sugar Country has accelerated the space race among countries. Many countries have recently greatly increased their investment in aviation technology, resulting in nearly ten spaceships joining in just a week or two. Explore the ranks.In the past, even if there was a space war, all countries could only watch helplessly, and it was impossible to send spaceships to explore at such a fast speed.

But who is closest to the battlefield?

It wasn't Huang Yanxin and others.Although the lunar module has the ability to lift into the air, its supplies, power and space are limited, and its members are complex, and people all over the world are watching them. Even if they all want to do something, they can only do it at this time. Carry out the exploration of the moon city that has become boring in a regular manner.

The closest one with the ability to clean up the battlefield is the spacecraft that the sugar country picked up and sent the joint exploration team of various countries to the moon and is now orbiting the moon.

So Sugar Nation unceremoniously ate the first bite of the cake, picked and picked the two most complete mechas and the largest pieces of spaceship wreckage nearby, and sent them back to Earth.Then came the second spacecraft of Sugar Country, and the space shuttles of four or five countries, such as Nut Country, Cake Country, and Wine Country. Because the technology has matured, almost all of these countries have successfully developed spacecraft, but most of them are still in development. In the stage of modulation and experimentation, not to mention whether it can carry people, even whether it can return to the voyage safely cannot be guaranteed.But at this time, the time was urgent, and there were not many things to consider. The spacecraft from all countries arrived almost at the same time, tacitly carve up the remaining few mechs, and then searched around, trying to find more valuable things.

All kinds of space junk were sent to the aerospace technology research institutes of various countries on earth like precious treasures. Among them, a silver-white, intact box was mixed inconspicuously among various parts and fragments.

……

The raindrops fell on the surface of the sea in a continuous piece, and from time to time, small fish came out of the sponge and spit bubbles, but they disappeared suddenly.Numerous small pits have also been smashed on the golden sand, and three or five colorful shells can be seen faintly.

With a sound of "wow", a person emerged from the sea, his short black hair wetly stuck to his face, dripping water continuously, his face was pale, and his eyes were cold, which made people feel chills at first glance.Just at this time, there was a loud "rumbling" sound in the sky, and a dazzling arc shuttled freely among the clouds. The dazzling white light illuminated the darkness between the sky and the earth, contrasting the sea water and the clouds that seemed to be pressing down on the sea surface. Darker and blacker than ink.

The man who emerged from the sea looked up at the crackling thunder and lightning in the sky, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, as if showing a sneer, and then he walked unhurriedly to the shore.His upper body was bare, his left hand was wrapped in rags from fingers to shoulder, and in his right hand he was holding a simple harpoon made of bamboo, on which was a large, foot-long fish that was still struggling.

This person is Rong Yuan.

He walked onto the beach barefoot, stopped after walking a few steps, and squinted to see a tall coconut tree in front of him, with clusters of oval-shaped blue coconuts hanging from it, hidden among the trembling leaves.

Rong Yuan thought about it, he should have a balanced diet.Eating fish alone may provide enough energy for activities, but coconut is rich in protein, sugar, vitamins, fat, trace elements, etc., and can provide various nutrients needed by the body.

So he took a deep breath, turned sideways, raised his leg, and kicked hard on the tree trunk!

The trunk broke into two pieces with a "click", and fell to the ground with a bang.Rong Yuan walked to the front and saw that there were a dozen or so coconuts squeezed together into a ball, it was not easy to pick just one or two.So he stomped off the front end of the tree trunk, handed the harpoon into his left hand, and lifted the top of the tree with his right hand, as if he was carrying it back lightly.

Across the beach, through a dense forest, there is a huge natural rock.One side of the rock is slightly concave, and Rong Yuan built a temporary shelter here with bamboo and palm leaves. Although it is simple, it still has an area of ​​34 square meters.He dragged the fish and the coconut tree head in and set them down on a relatively flat, clean stone.There are also flat beds made of bamboo, a stove made of stones, and some wood chips, dead branches, stone knives and the like in the room.

There are various large and small containers outside the house to catch rainwater. Although there is no shortage of water in Rongyuan at present, the more fresh water reserves, the better.He went outside the door and took several bamboo tubes filled with water, poured the water into a sunken stone basin, and put the bamboo tubes outside to continue collecting water.

Then Rong Yuan took off the cloth strips wrapped around his left shoulder and threw them into the stone basin, the originally clear water immediately turned a faint red.

His left arm has almost changed its appearance. The large black and red blood scabs look disgusting. Looking carefully, these scars extend from the shoulder to the chest like spider feet, and suddenly when they are about to touch the heart. And stop.

Looking at his wound, Rong Yuan frowned in distaste, dipped the cloth strips torn from his coat into water to wash the wound, then dug some green medicinal paste from a half-emptied coconut shell and spread it evenly Apply to left arm and rewrap arm with two dry cloth strips.

This process is naturally painful, but compared to the pain of being struck by lightning, it can be said to be nothing.Except that Rong Yuan's face became paler, there was no other change.

To this day, looking back at the time, Rong Yuan still feels that it is a miracle that he survived.

It is said in the rules that the first thunder is actually the weakest, and the power will double every time thereafter.When preparing to break out of the Bhikkhu planet, Rong Yuan once imagined that he might need to kill innocent people, and he also made some preparations for Tianlei, but when he actually faced it, it was useless.

When the countdown ended, Rong Yuan found that he had suddenly arrived in a pure white space, and all the exchange items such as the ring, mecha, mimetic suit wristbands, etc. were gone, and only the unique ones in the mall remained. Special Items - Eyes, Stones and Peas.If it wasn't for Rong Yuan never spending merit on the things he usually wears, he might be running naked now.And all the commodities he exchanged for resisting thunder disappeared together, and among the special commodities, there were no props that could protect against lightning.

All the previous preparations were in vain. In front of him, Pea raised her small hand, and an ominous blue-white electric light crackled in the palm of her hand.Rong Yuan stared at it, seeing Pea looking at him expressionlessly, not seeing the faint yearning, relentless pursuit, and soft joy on his usual face, there was no emotion in those dark eyes, but without hesitation, he put his hand in his hand. The thunder and lightning swung down!

A small ball of lightning suddenly became overwhelming, that kind of supernatural power with the aura of destroying everything, but it is not Rong Yuan's style to close his eyes and wait for death. He subconsciously put his left hand in front of his body, hoping to wear it The stone ring on his hand can exert a little [legendary] power.

Like a "buzz", the lightning is close in front of you, but the time seems to be stretched infinitely.

He saw the thunder and lightning approaching at a millimeter-by-millimeter speed, and the surroundings fell into absolute silence. However, when the silence reached the extreme, he seemed to hear a lot of voices suddenly——

"Om... Ding... Boom... Boom... Ac... Woo... Mi... Hiss..."

Small voices that filled the sky and fields came to his ears, slow, illusory, ethereal, traceless, yet ubiquitous.

It was the voice he had vaguely heard from the stone countless times, but it was elongated a lot, clearer, and more chaotic, without any pattern, or even the exact same voice.

This time, Rong Yuan no longer tried to catch or understand it deliberately, he just listened quietly, immersed in an unspeakable mystery, without any force in his body, as if the sound came from millions of pores The sound penetrated into his body, and it seemed that he himself melted into the sound.

He closed his eyes and saw a scene he had never seen before in the darkness - he couldn't feel the existence of his own body, but saw countless things, big and small, like cotton candy surrounding him, and they were changing all the time : Stretch, compress, bounce, deform, sometimes like a flower, sometimes like a thorn ball, sometimes become a shuttle, sometimes become a tangled fishing net.

Those voices are what they come out when they change.

There seems to be a voice in the dark asking him:

—Is it amazing?

--Do not.

--why?

— because I already knew what it was, I just didn't think of it.

It was as if the last layer of cloth covering his eyes had been lifted, and in an instant, Rong Yuan understood everything he saw and heard.

This is string.

As big as the universe of galaxies, as small as electrons and protons, time and space, creation and death, everything in the universe is made of strings.The different vibrations and motions of strings produce various elementary particles. Particles form atoms, atoms form molecules, molecules form matter, and matter and energy are transformed into each other.One-dimensional strings and two-dimensional space-time energy lines contain all the mysteries of the world.

"It is said that this stone contains all the principles of the universe. Those who own it can comprehend all the rules of the world, such as the evolution of stars, natural life and death, and changes in time and space. There is nothing unknowable and unsurpassable. "

Pea once introduced the [Legendary Stone] like this, before Rong Yuan didn't understand, he thought the stone itself contained some mysteries.Only now did he understand that the stone was just a medium, and this medium allowed him to hear a sound that no creature could hear... No, that was not a sound, it was the law of string fluctuations.

Rong Yuan opened his eyes, the wonderful scene disappeared in an instant, the destructive white light had swallowed his entire left arm, his face remained unchanged, his hand fell like a sharp sword——

The thunder and lightning dissipated suddenly!
