A collection of short stories about Qingshan as snow and yellow
Chapter 4 "The Nightingale"
[10,364: 06: 44]
all the best.Yu Wenzhou walked out of the command room, the two track doors were pulled by magnetic wires and closed behind him, and the central system began to broadcast: "There are still 82 standard minutes before the departure of the long-distance ship 'Yeyu'. This voyage is one-way, and there is no scheduled return voyage. Deadline. If the registration information is wrong, please contact the person in charge of the port as soon as possible, the captain, to revise the schedule..."
It was dusk in the time zone where the port was located.The star that provides heat for this planet is older than the "sun" sung in the poems of the old times. Its light penetrates into the curved skylight of the base through the atmosphere with a composition very different from that of the parent star. cyan blue.Yu Wenzhou walked alone through the promenade that looked like a deep sea. Outside the window on his right, the dome shaped like the wings of a bird was bathed in the rays of the setting sun.
The voyage ship "Ye Yu" is waiting in it.This may be the last time it, and its driver, saw the sunset of civilization.
The elevator carried Yu Wenzhou upwards, and the layout of the port gradually shrank in his field of vision, condensing into a structural painting with rich colors.When he stepped into the preparation room overlooking the entire base, he looked up at the projected clock on the wall, and compared it with the time on his communicator.
44:[-] p.m. local time, always.
Ten minutes later, the door of the preparation room slid open again, and Huang Shaotian, the independent captain of "Night Rain", appeared at the door.Holding a miniature mirror in his hand, he frowned, and with a look of confusion on his face, he said, "It's so strange, Wenzhou, I've never seen such a thing..."
"What's wrong?" Yu Wenzhou asked, "Is there something wrong with Ye Yu?"
"I don't know if that's a problem." Huang Shaotian sat down on the chair in distress, "But it's just...it's weird."
If we had to talk about who came first, the timing of Ye Yu's appearance in Huang Shaotian's life was more than 01:30 later than Yu Wenzhou.As early as when Huang Shaotian from the frontier planet came to Academy Star with his parents' career transfer, and entered a preparatory education institution to become a transfer student, his fate with Yu Wenzhou had already begun.After many years, until Huang Shaotian, as a well-known explorer, received the first funds for equipment improvement from the royalties, the long-distance ship "Yuyu" that accompanied his adventurous career began to take shape.
But judging from the time spent with him in the physical sense, Ye Yu came from behind.In addition, with its completion, Huang Shaotian also installed the portable recorder that he brought with him since he was a child to collect daily data into its shipboard system. From the perspective of data, what is carried in the night rain is his entire life so far. .
"That recorder." Huang Shaotian said, "You know that recorder, right?"
Yu Wenzhou nodded.
Huang Shaotian stretched out his left hand, and the bracelet on his wrist projected a two-color hexagonal screen in the air.He clicked on it and said: "I just finished the last round of inspections, and I have nothing to do to check the background data of the recorder. Guess what?"
The code on the screen flowed rapidly and then stopped at a string of numbers.Huang Shaotian slid his finger, marking the row of numbers in bright gold.
"770:18:43..." Yu Wenzhou read.
He paused: "Is this a time record?"
"Yes." Huang Shaotian circled it, "It's counted since I left Academy Star last time."
Yu Wenzhou: "Since then, 770 standard days have passed."
Huang Shaotian: "That's right. Then, if you look up the current time of the academy's ephemeris method and convert it with the various time losses during my expedition, the final calculated result should be..."
He crossed out "770" with his finger on the screen and wrote "405".
"Four hundred and five days. It's the same as the ship's time." Huang Shaotian sighed, "I've done the calculations several times and the result is the same. I still want to ask you to help me calculate the voyage, but I finally decided not to deceive myself... Although I really don't want any accidents to interfere with today's sailing, I also know that a simple miscalculation or data failure is not an excuse to ignore it at all, and I can't start sailing until this problem is clarified."
Yu Wenzhou thought for a while: "I can cancel your sailing schedule first."
"Stop it, stop it." Huang Shaotian lay down listlessly on the table, "And then, clever Mr. Yu, almighty Mr. Yu, you have to help me think about it—what are the extra 300 days? What's going on."
There is no absolute time in the universe.Any spaceship capable of navigating in the galaxy, the system on it must be equipped with the basic function of calculating the time difference, so that passengers can check the time they are in.
The actual time spent by the spaceship is the "shipboard time". Relatively, the "reference time" is calculated with the local time of a certain planet as a reference.The reference time on Huang Shaotian's recorder refers to the academy star he grew up on. It stands to reason that when Ye Yu landed on the planet where the port is - Watchman [-], its reference time should have been calibrated.On the other hand, the shipboard time is always under the driver's monitoring, and no abnormalities occurred during this period.
In other words, since Ye Yu left Academy Star last time, Huang Shaotian actually spent [-] days in the spaceship.
But for some reason, the time in the recorder is 770 days.
Huang Shaotian propped his chin with both hands, watching Yu Wenzhou pass through the port system, and calibrate the reference time with the academy star as the reference.A few minutes later, Yu Wenzhou turned over the screen and showed him: "It's true that only four hundred and five days have passed since you left Academy Star."
"Right? Right?" Huang Shaotian sat up straight, "Why did it become like this!"
Yu Wenzhou shifted his gaze to the screen, unconsciously fiddling with the sight glass that Huang Shaotian left on the table.Huang Shaotian muttered, "If the recorder hadn't been by my side all the time, I would have wondered if it secretly went on a day trip to the black hole! By the way, what if I lost my memory for more than 300 days? Is this possible? The loading time has always been correct. It is impossible for me to fly out of the ship and lose my memory in place during the voyage. Could it be that a hospitable local gave me an anesthetic when I stopped on some planet...Hey, don't play with me the mirror!"
"..." Yu Wenzhou put the mirror back on the table as if nothing had happened.He said, "Besides the recorder, what about Ye Yu's other equipment?"
"It's all four hundred and five." Huang Shaotian spread his hands, "So I said, the problem may be with the recorder. Since the recorder is always by my side, it is also possible that the problem is with me."
Yu Wenzhou: "In that case, I think you can do an in-depth inspection."
[3704: 08: 12]
Huang Shaotian put on the recorder for the first time when he was ten years old, and he had just arrived at Academy Star at that time.
Previously, he had experienced a rather boring interstellar trip for his age, and most children would take this opportunity to soak in the buffer and have a good time in the virtual game area that parents usually do not allow them to indulge in.Huang Shaotian was different, within a few days he started wandering around on the long-distance passenger ship.
When my mother brought him back, she asked wonderingly, "Don't you want to play games?"
"I've played enough." Huang Shaotian curled his lips, "The games I can play are too boring, and I'm not old enough to want to play. What's the point of winning games all the time?"
His mother didn't believe in evil, so she went up to play a game of strategy with him, but Huang Shaotian sent him back to his hometown with lightning-fast maneuvers not long after the game started, and was also mercilessly ridiculed by blocking the door for a military parade.
"...There are still games that don't consider winning or losing." Mom pressed the veins on her forehead and opened the game area, "Look, this farming game and this little wizard game are very popular. It will take 20 days!"
Huang Shaotian was unmoved: "I already know what will happen next, it's nothing fun."
Mom worried: "Then what do you like?"
"The kind that I can't guess!" Huang Shaotian announced, "I like things that no one has ever known before!"
"It's a good idea," Mom commented, "You can be an explorer someday."
"Explorer?"
"They are people who sail in the universe and explore new planets." Mom said casually, "Although this profession is not very popular now, you can try hard?"
That was the first time Huang Shaotian heard about the career of an explorer.This word seemed to have an intoxicating magic power, which made him unable to sleep at night.While he tossed and turned in bed, their passenger ship was slowly passing through the Seven Rings Channel, and the stars of the Marigold twinkled in the universe separated from him by the wall.
During the rest of the trip, he spent all his time in the Science and Education District.After arriving at Academy Star, he took out the pocket money he had accumulated and asked his father to help him choose a good-quality and cheap memory stick. When his father asked him what he wanted to do with this, he replied: "I want to save my life. record it."
"Ideal is not bad." Professor Huang commented, "And you plan to pass it on to your children?"
"It's just that there's no need for that." Huang Shaotian held the box containing the memory stick with both hands, and announced seriously, "I will be an explorer in the future, go to planets that no one has visited, and then the records in this recorder will be Tell future generations how great my adventure was!"
Professor Huang applauded: "Please take getting A+ in the entrance examination and boarding the high-speed teaching area as the starting point of your career. I am looking forward to it."
Huang Shaotian: "...What kind of tone is that, don't you believe me! Let's wait and see!"
He did succeed in achieving this initial goal, but life in preparatory school was not as pleasant as he had imagined.The traditions of the residents here are quite different from those of the fringe star natives. Their daily life is as precise as a clock, and their aesthetics and entertainment methods are also unique.It's not that Huang Shaotian doesn't want to work hard to integrate into the group, but when he realized that integrating into the group would have a huge impact on his original living habits, and even completely change his fun and ideals, which are two important parts of his personality, he finally decided to do it. Just be yourself.
Even if the speed of thinking matured during the enlightenment period far exceeds that of the mother star era, this is still a difficult choice for a child.
Fortunately, he also has a partner, Yu Wenzhou who also transferred from another school.
At first he didn't like Yu Wenzhou, but this guy blended into the group perfectly, making him a living example of a negative example of going his own way.The campus life of the two had nothing to do with each other. If it wasn't for the fact that he was rescued by passing Yu Wenzhou once when he was using the simulation machine due to a data error, he might not have said a word to him until graduation.
When he was panting and sitting on the floor, looking up at Yu Wenzhou who was standing next to him, who was wearing a meticulous school uniform, he was sure that he saw a look of annoyance on the other's face.
When he had something to say, he asked, "What's that expression on your face! Did you regret knowing me?"
Yu Wenzhou said, "A little bit."
Huang Shaotian: "..."
Although he was too tired to fight, if he could move, he would really like to kick this guy in the leg.
"Even if I don't cut off the power supply, the machine will stop by itself, and you will sweat a little more at most, nothing will happen." Yu Wenzhou added.
"That's what you said!" Huang Shaotian frowned, "I have to thank you!"
"but……"
Yu Wenzhou hesitated for a moment, and sat down on the floor next to him.He said: "But I couldn't hold back and ran over. Forget what happened today."
"Forget about your size." Huang Shaotian said, "I won't forget even if you forget."
He took off his wristband and held it up: "These things are recorded in my recorder. It is said that the data can be stored for 600 years. Are you afraid! So why do you want nothing to do with me, you bastard? !"
Yu Wenzhou looked at him helplessly, and said seriously, "It's better for us not to get involved."
Huang Shaotian finally gathered enough strength to kick his calf.
In the following campus life, Huang Shaotian began to realize that Yu Wenzhou's attention was always focused on him intentionally or unintentionally.Under the influence of the aroused competitive spirit, after a series of tit-for-tat and stalking, they finally became friends stumbling.
Huang Shaotian was finally able to ask his question: "Why are you always staring at me?"
Yu Wenzhou said solemnly: "Because you are different from others."
"Really?" Huang Shaotian desperately suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to grin, "Really? Do you really think so? Am I very different?"
"It's very different." Yu Wenzhou suppressed a smile, "It's only when I'm familiar with you that you talk a lot."
"..." Huang Shaotian looked at him suspiciously, "Are you kidding, I saw it. Do I talk a lot? It's okay! Although my dad sometimes said that, he also said that it's not a bad thing Anyway, if I want to write a travel diary in the future, I will always have something to say, and I will treat it as a pre-preparation for my ideal."
Yu Wenzhou said: "Compared to this, not being picky eaters is also a good habit that needs to be cultivated."
"Don't even think about making me eat that slippery vegetable!" Huang Shaotian shouted.
Yu Wenzhou's habits in all aspects are very good.At one time, Huang Shaotian thought that he had a similar life rhythm to the star residents of the academy, and that's why he integrated into their group so quickly, but after getting acquainted with him, he discovered that Yu Wenzhou also had a different side to him.On the surface, he doesn't appear to be deviant, but he doesn't regard deviation from the mainstream as a big deal.
This is really a very strange person. Huang Shaotian feels that his strangeness can be said to be the strangeness of teenagers, but Yu Wenzhou's strangeness usually does not show it. Only at certain times will he feel that the person in front of him seems From countless light-years away.
"Sometimes I feel like you're an alien pretending to be an ordinary schoolboy," he said.
Yu Wenzhou nodded: "Very keen, you have discovered all of this."
Huang Shaotian sneered: "Alien, you can brag if you don't come in the bottom of the physical fitness test next time."
In various subjects, Huang Shaotian can also bully him in long-distance running and sprinting.He himself has always paid attention to physical training, because to become an explorer, he must be able to serve as an independent captain, and his extraordinary physical fitness allows him to cope with various emergencies in the lonely star travel.
Once, when Yu Wenzhou was unlocking the express cabinet with his voiceprint, Huang Shaotian happened to come to him.He heard Yu Wenzhou say to the collector: "Greetings to the stars."
"Wow, what did you just say?" Huang Shaotian asked.
Yu Wenzhou closed the cabinet door and paused for a moment.Huang Shaotian rarely saw this hesitant expression on his face, if I remember correctly, the last time was when they spoke for the first time.
"It was said by a great explorer." Yu Wenzhou seemed to have finally made up his mind and said, "When he traveled, he left a legend about this sentence."
Huang Shaotian pondered for a while: "Is there such a person? I should know all the famous explorers. What's his name?"
Yu Wenzhou: "Well, I actually made it up."
"Hahahaha! Don't be shy!" Huang Shaotian laughed and patted him, "Don't worry, when I become a famous explorer in the future, I will write it in my book!"
[10,364: 07: 02]
"Greetings to the stars," Yu Wenzhou said.
The door lock of the medical room turned on a blue light for identification, and a light curtain descended from the ceiling, covering them, and made a simple scan.Huang Shaotian touched his nose: "It's been so many years, and you're still using this password."
Yu Wenzhou walked ahead and said, "There is another set of commonly used passwords."
"What do you mean, you?" Huang Shaotian came to the airtight cabin, and saw Yu Wenzhou's slightly smiling expression in the dim reflection of the glass, "I'm here, so do you miss the time in Secondary School?"
"That's not true." Yu Wenzhou pressed the button, and the hatch slowly opened, "Although others will only think that I'm your book fan...but that's not the problem."
Huang Shaotian stepped into the cabin and skillfully found a more comfortable position to lie down.As the hatch closed, countless instruments rushed towards his body, and a 120-second countdown was displayed in front of the hatch.
After making some basic settings, Yu Wenzhou sat down in the chair next to him.There are no real windows in the medical room, and the entire wall to the south is a visual screen. If the medical room is still operating normally, there should be soothing pictures that make visitors feel relaxed, such as the little rabbit eating grass, Corgi Running or something.Now there is no need to abide by these regulations. Under Yu Wenzhou's settings, not only here, but also the video screens in the entire Starport are synchronously displaying the outside world.
It wasn't that he didn't like little rabbits.
Now the dim star had sunk into the far end of the sky, and the afterglow of twilight floated among the thin clouds.In the footage of the base, there are no lights as far as the eye can see, only the bright searchlights of Xinggang slowly turning around, standing alone on the dark land.
Watchman 100 is not the last planet visited by humans in the Cape Starfield. In the early planning, its neighbors had a total of more than 76 numbers, and the actual number of developed mining areas was 76.However, their locations are too bad. Not only is the transportation inconvenient, but it is also difficult to receive returns for the resources invested in developing them into livable areas. Therefore, with the end of mining, these [-] planets will soon be ignored.
And they returned to the vision of the Human Federation, still because of their own position.
Belt ten, that's a term all citizens will hear over and over in any set of elementary cosmic geography courses.Compared to its meaning, this name is a bit mundane, but people did not give it a loud name back then, which made it easier for future generations to remember.
Not everyone can casually name planets, theorems and devices named after great scientists and pioneers of exploration, but everyone knows that the ten star belt is the "boundary".
The starry sky has boundaries, and this theory never works for philosophers and poets.But objectively, at present, human beings really cannot cross the tenth star belt and explore the universe on the other side.It is like a full sail, blocking the way for human beings to sail in this direction, and countless people who want to cross it are buried in the turbulence and tide.It is both a boundary stone and a tombstone.
In the era when people were still keen to explore, they expanded the airport on Overwatch [-].This is the planet with the best relative position to the tenth star belt, and its number happens to be ten, so in the official records, its name has changed from "Tenth Star" to "Watcher Tenth Star".On this abandoned and depleted planet, many explorers set off from its port, throwing themselves into the fascinating and terrifying blue galaxy of the tenth star belt, never to return.Some believe this place symbolizes new beginnings, while others see it as a gatepost to the end.
First miners, then explorers, then travelers, couples looking for romance, writers, film crews, and even people who want to end their lives.Gradually, people stopped coming.In the end not even the explorers came.
As is the case, today's citizens of the Commonwealth no longer yearn for the unknown as they did hundreds of years ago.Explorers roamed the known planets, took video, tasted food, chatted with viewers on the optical network, and wrote travel journals.The exploration of the Belt Ten has been reduced to vanity heroism, and the prevailing opinion is that until the technological breakthrough allows for voyage around the Belt, attempting to cross it is tantamount to suicide.
On Overwatch [-], the star port that once bid farewell to tens of thousands of explorers has also gradually declined from prosperity.Most of the staff were replaced by new automated machinery, and the Federation-affiliated management team left shortly thereafter.As of now, only one person in charge is stationed in this empty starport in rotation to maintain its establishment which has not been expunged from the records.
In this standard year, it was Yu Wenzhou who was transferred here.
Huang Shaotian sat up from the cabin with his shaggy hair that was sprinkled wet during the inspection.He paused for a few seconds to recover from his dizziness.
In the medical room, there is a slight mechanical sound from the operation of the equipment.Yu Wenzhou handed him a towel, then continued to look down at the screen.
Huang Shaotian wiped his hair and asked, "How is it?"
"The good news is that your indicators are normal." Yu Wenzhou swiped the data on the screen, "The bad news is that this inspection did not provide us with clues to solve the case."
"Oh, I knew it." Huang Shaotian said dejectedly, "This must be a supernatural event."
Yu Wenzhou beckoned, and the auxiliary equipment began to clean the medical cabin and the ground.Huang Shaotian looked down at the spherical machine rolling past his feet: "The current automation of the airport is really scary. I heard that many people in the central area can't leave the door a few times a year."
"If it wasn't so automated, I might still have a few colleagues." Yu Wenzhou kept the medical records. "Now I can maintain the operation of the airport by myself. Although it is efficient, it is not very interesting."
Huang Shaotian: "Don't you often chat with me on Xingwang! How interesting I am!"
"Well, you're the most interesting." Yu Wenzhou agreed, "However, it's more fun for the same person to sit in front of me alive."
"That's true." Huang Shaotian handed the towel to the robot, "Do you know how shocked I was when I contacted for a long time and found out that you were watching the port of Star Ten?"
"Even if I'm not here, I might be in another star port." Yu Wenzhou said, "Anyway, in this system, it's all the same."
"It's not the same. Overwatch No. [-] is not a place where you have to come. Even if you are really in line, with your resume, you should not have to come at all."
"It is my obligation to comply with the federal arrangement." Yu Wenzhou smiled.
Huang Shaotian looked at him for a few seconds, then stood up from the chair.
"Let's go to the communications room," he said. "Maybe I should contact the academy star."
[7678: 23: 02]
Huang Shaotian got his independent captain's license when he was 21 years old.In the same year, Yu Wenzhou entered the Federal Starport complex and became a young dispatcher.
The efficiency of the high-speed teaching area allowed them to receive the required education faster than their peers. Later, they studied very different subjects, but the two still often spent their leisure time together.Huang Shaotian used his scholarship and business loans to buy a small ship that was about to reach its end of life, sprayed it a gleaming goose yellow, and looked like a flying banana among the various vehicles in the star port.When Yu Wenzhou was invited to visit his "first car of a great explorer", he couldn't help showing a surprised expression: "What is your intention of painting it in this color..."
"Because it's very conspicuous!" Huang Shaotian put his hips on his hips, "I don't have the ability to make it look good right now, so I'll settle for the next best thing, making it conspicuous enough. If it is conspicuous, the chances of being rescued are higher."
Yu Wenzhou: "There seems to be no statistics to show this?"
"Don't expose me." Huang Shaotian said painfully, "Actually, I made a wrong adjustment of the program. I thought it was spraying black paint, but the broken device automatically matched me with the cheapest plan because I didn't have enough balance."
"..." Yu Wenzhou was silent for a moment, then said pertinently, "Cheapness is also an advantage."
Two people stood on the platform next to the mooring area, and one of them was holding a tiger skin coconut - this is the signature item of the port restaurant, which provides a set of exotic local delicacies for travelers to choose every day.Huang Shaotian bit his straw and said vaguely: "Sooner or later, I will build the coolest boat."
"Is it the blueprint you showed me last time?" Yu Wenzhou thought for a while, "That's pretty good."
"That's the one!" Huang Shaotian knocked on the bracelet, and a small projection appeared in the air.The ship was not entirely black, but the wings and stern were embellished with a pattern lighter than cobalt blue, flowing and elegant like a bird.He looked at it fascinated: "This is the light of my life, the fire of my soul..."
"It's not very gentlemanly to talk about the girl of your dreams in front of your current Miss Banana." Yu Wenzhou poked the projection.
Huang Shaotian: "I'm sorry, I'm such a bastard. For it, I'm willing to only take nutritional supplements every day."
"According to your design plan, its cost will not be enough to save 100 years of food." Yu Wenzhou pointed out, "Increasing income is more important than reducing expenditure, and health is the capital."
"Oh, I know! I know!" Huang Shaotian took a big mouthful of golden coconut water angrily, "It's really expensive! But there's no other way, I just want the best."
Yu Wenzhou said: "In short, you have passed the license test now, and the hardest part is over. Next, you only need to make a few challenges that will make you famous, and it will be easy with sponsorship."
"No..." Huang Shaotian said dryly, "Although I know that you have always had confidence in me, you don't have to be so confident, right? The hardest part is over, the adventure is the biggest difficulty, okay? good!"
"For others, maybe." Yu Wenzhou put an empty coconut on top of a passing cleaning machine, "But I believe that no adventure can stop you."
"You man," Huang Shaotian turned his head, "don't always say things that stress you out all of a sudden."
He rubbed his slightly red ears, and added: "But... anyway, just wait and see!"
The person who sold that old spaceship (the current Banana) to Huang Shaotian had no idea that his own spaceship would be in the news so quickly.When the buyer who just graduated said to him, "I'm going to drive it to explore", he said that you should practice driving this car first, and change to a better one when you have money.Not long after, he saw the video record of the banana ship passing through the Convergence Star Ring, and the rice ball in his mouth was scared away.
"I'm really glad that it didn't fall apart at a critical moment." As the former owner of the spaceship, he said fearfully to the Starnet reporter who came to interview him, "That kid...is called Huang Shaotian, he is too courageous."
After trying out his skills on several planets in tourist areas, Huang Shaotian set the target of the first challenge at the converged star ring area on the edge of the galaxy.An extremely chaotic force field is distributed in the center of the star ring. In the early years, there were one or two cases of successfully passing through the center of the star ring, but no exact content records were left.According to oral information, it is said that when passing through it, passengers on the spaceship can see strange sights that do not yet exist in this galaxy area from the middle.
Huang Shaotian successfully completed this challenge, at the cost of almost [-]% of the Banana being damaged.The rescuers brought him back in time, and brought him back to the nearby Xinggang—the place where Yu Wenzhou had recently worked.
When he woke up drowsily from the medical cabin, the nurse next to him said happily, "You're awake!"
"I'm awake." Huang Shaotian said blankly.
"You did it!" The nurse was even more excited than he was, "You are the third person to pass through the Convergence Star Ring in recorded history!"
Huang Shaotian recovered a little strength, and murmured, "That's right."
Yu Wenzhou was the first person who was allowed to visit the sick, and Huang Shaotian was almost recovered by then.The walls of the medical room in Xinggang are painted powder blue, and the little rabbits on the screen are running around on the grass.
"You look fine." Yu Wenzhou sat down beside his medical cabin and looked at his face.Huang Shaotian's hair was a little faded in the treatment liquid, and his skin was also a shade of white, but he was in good spirits.
"It's okay." Huang Shaotian tried his best to suppress his expression, but his tail seemed to have been raised, "Am I great?"
Yu Wenzhou said, "You really don't want your life."
"You're praising me, right?" Huang Shaotian asked.
Yu Wenzhou: "Obviously."
He made a move that Huang Shaotian didn't expect - hugged him hard.
"Ouch!" Huang Shaotian yelled, "I'm dizzy! I'm dizzy!!"
His face was flushed to the tips of his ears.Yu Wenzhou let him go, and calmly said, "You're not dizzy. I watched you play games when I came in."
"Why are you so nervous." Huang Shaotian tried to change the subject, "Don't you have great confidence in me?"
"Yes." Yu Wenzhou said, "I know you can. But it doesn't prevent me from worrying."
Huang Shaotian whispered, "That means you don't have enough confidence in me."
Yu Wenzhou: "That's not fair, I may be the person who has the most confidence in you in the whole world."
"I believe it." Huang Shaotian patted him on the shoulder, "By the way, how is my Miss Banana?"
"It's hopeless." Yu Wenzhou said succinctly.
"..." Huang Shaotian stared at him, "Can't you comfort me?!"
"At least it has fulfilled its mission." Yu Wenzhou said, "It has protected you and allowed you to speak here."
"Its mission is to help me complete the challenge." Huang Shaotian shrugged, "It's just a matter of protecting me..."
Yu Wenzhou laughed.He opened the jar at hand, and inside was a golden-red fruit pudding.Huang Shaotian brought it over happily and started to eat: "Is this a special product of the academy stars? I have already started to miss it not long after I graduated!"
"By the way," Yu Wenzhou asked, "did you see anything special when you traveled through the star ring?"
"Well..." Huang Shaotian dragged his voice, and said after whetting his appetite: "Actually, no, I think I just had some messy hallucinations. Because it was in the complete master control mode at that time, and the degree of self-regulation of the system was limited, the spaceship could not control itself." Out of control."
The nurse came in at this time to update the data in the medical cabin.She said happily: "I made a special news series for you, you can enjoy it later."
"Although it's a bit embarrassing...but thank you." Huang Shaotian rubbed his face, "It seems that I'm really famous?"
"Of course." The nurse said sincerely. "Are you going to write a book next? Or accept those things, various invitations?"
"I will write, and I still need to save money for my new spaceship." Huang Shaotian said, "The invitation is fine, I still want to continue to take risks."
"But you have completed an adventure that no one else can do!" The nurse shook her head incomprehensibly.
After she left the medical room, Huang Shaotian muttered, "But I'm not the first person to do it, am I?"
Yu Wenzhou said: "Nowadays there are not many risks that no one can take."
"—there are still."
Huang Shaotian raised his head, his eyes sparkled, "There are still."
[10,364: 07: 45]
In the promenade above the star port, the two walked side by side.
"I heard that there should be a wall with lip prints here." Huang Shaotian looked around.
"It does exist, but it's not here." Yu Wenzhou pointed to the front, "In the auditorium, we will see it after we pass through."
"Isn't it in the corridor?" Huang Shaotian looked a little regretful, "I read in the records that during the most prosperous time of Overwatch [-], explorers left records here every day. At the beginning, there was a small piece of permanent material message board, which later turned into a wall of lip prints that stretched down the hallway..."
"It used to be, but because it was not easy to preserve, it was moved to the auditorium." Yu Wenzhou said, "Nowadays, there are occasional travelers who come to pay their respects to this relic, and the management team thinks that putting the auditorium and these souvenirs together will make it feel like a scenic spot. "
"Although I can understand this arrangement...but I still think it's better to put it here." Huang Shaotian said.
Yu Wenzhou nodded: "I think so too."
They didn't say the main reason: because no new adventurers left their mark here.
This promenade connects the main tower of the port with the outer harbor which is ready for navigation.Although there are ground vehicles, most of the explorers back then chose to walk from here to board the ship, which has almost become a customary ceremony.Pressing the lip print is also part of it: even if technology continues to develop and the territory of the starry sky continues to expand, it is still human enthusiasm, persistence, and love that can create and explore all of this.
The sky has completely darkened, the corridor
all the best.Yu Wenzhou walked out of the command room, the two track doors were pulled by magnetic wires and closed behind him, and the central system began to broadcast: "There are still 82 standard minutes before the departure of the long-distance ship 'Yeyu'. This voyage is one-way, and there is no scheduled return voyage. Deadline. If the registration information is wrong, please contact the person in charge of the port as soon as possible, the captain, to revise the schedule..."
It was dusk in the time zone where the port was located.The star that provides heat for this planet is older than the "sun" sung in the poems of the old times. Its light penetrates into the curved skylight of the base through the atmosphere with a composition very different from that of the parent star. cyan blue.Yu Wenzhou walked alone through the promenade that looked like a deep sea. Outside the window on his right, the dome shaped like the wings of a bird was bathed in the rays of the setting sun.
The voyage ship "Ye Yu" is waiting in it.This may be the last time it, and its driver, saw the sunset of civilization.
The elevator carried Yu Wenzhou upwards, and the layout of the port gradually shrank in his field of vision, condensing into a structural painting with rich colors.When he stepped into the preparation room overlooking the entire base, he looked up at the projected clock on the wall, and compared it with the time on his communicator.
44:[-] p.m. local time, always.
Ten minutes later, the door of the preparation room slid open again, and Huang Shaotian, the independent captain of "Night Rain", appeared at the door.Holding a miniature mirror in his hand, he frowned, and with a look of confusion on his face, he said, "It's so strange, Wenzhou, I've never seen such a thing..."
"What's wrong?" Yu Wenzhou asked, "Is there something wrong with Ye Yu?"
"I don't know if that's a problem." Huang Shaotian sat down on the chair in distress, "But it's just...it's weird."
If we had to talk about who came first, the timing of Ye Yu's appearance in Huang Shaotian's life was more than 01:30 later than Yu Wenzhou.As early as when Huang Shaotian from the frontier planet came to Academy Star with his parents' career transfer, and entered a preparatory education institution to become a transfer student, his fate with Yu Wenzhou had already begun.After many years, until Huang Shaotian, as a well-known explorer, received the first funds for equipment improvement from the royalties, the long-distance ship "Yuyu" that accompanied his adventurous career began to take shape.
But judging from the time spent with him in the physical sense, Ye Yu came from behind.In addition, with its completion, Huang Shaotian also installed the portable recorder that he brought with him since he was a child to collect daily data into its shipboard system. From the perspective of data, what is carried in the night rain is his entire life so far. .
"That recorder." Huang Shaotian said, "You know that recorder, right?"
Yu Wenzhou nodded.
Huang Shaotian stretched out his left hand, and the bracelet on his wrist projected a two-color hexagonal screen in the air.He clicked on it and said: "I just finished the last round of inspections, and I have nothing to do to check the background data of the recorder. Guess what?"
The code on the screen flowed rapidly and then stopped at a string of numbers.Huang Shaotian slid his finger, marking the row of numbers in bright gold.
"770:18:43..." Yu Wenzhou read.
He paused: "Is this a time record?"
"Yes." Huang Shaotian circled it, "It's counted since I left Academy Star last time."
Yu Wenzhou: "Since then, 770 standard days have passed."
Huang Shaotian: "That's right. Then, if you look up the current time of the academy's ephemeris method and convert it with the various time losses during my expedition, the final calculated result should be..."
He crossed out "770" with his finger on the screen and wrote "405".
"Four hundred and five days. It's the same as the ship's time." Huang Shaotian sighed, "I've done the calculations several times and the result is the same. I still want to ask you to help me calculate the voyage, but I finally decided not to deceive myself... Although I really don't want any accidents to interfere with today's sailing, I also know that a simple miscalculation or data failure is not an excuse to ignore it at all, and I can't start sailing until this problem is clarified."
Yu Wenzhou thought for a while: "I can cancel your sailing schedule first."
"Stop it, stop it." Huang Shaotian lay down listlessly on the table, "And then, clever Mr. Yu, almighty Mr. Yu, you have to help me think about it—what are the extra 300 days? What's going on."
There is no absolute time in the universe.Any spaceship capable of navigating in the galaxy, the system on it must be equipped with the basic function of calculating the time difference, so that passengers can check the time they are in.
The actual time spent by the spaceship is the "shipboard time". Relatively, the "reference time" is calculated with the local time of a certain planet as a reference.The reference time on Huang Shaotian's recorder refers to the academy star he grew up on. It stands to reason that when Ye Yu landed on the planet where the port is - Watchman [-], its reference time should have been calibrated.On the other hand, the shipboard time is always under the driver's monitoring, and no abnormalities occurred during this period.
In other words, since Ye Yu left Academy Star last time, Huang Shaotian actually spent [-] days in the spaceship.
But for some reason, the time in the recorder is 770 days.
Huang Shaotian propped his chin with both hands, watching Yu Wenzhou pass through the port system, and calibrate the reference time with the academy star as the reference.A few minutes later, Yu Wenzhou turned over the screen and showed him: "It's true that only four hundred and five days have passed since you left Academy Star."
"Right? Right?" Huang Shaotian sat up straight, "Why did it become like this!"
Yu Wenzhou shifted his gaze to the screen, unconsciously fiddling with the sight glass that Huang Shaotian left on the table.Huang Shaotian muttered, "If the recorder hadn't been by my side all the time, I would have wondered if it secretly went on a day trip to the black hole! By the way, what if I lost my memory for more than 300 days? Is this possible? The loading time has always been correct. It is impossible for me to fly out of the ship and lose my memory in place during the voyage. Could it be that a hospitable local gave me an anesthetic when I stopped on some planet...Hey, don't play with me the mirror!"
"..." Yu Wenzhou put the mirror back on the table as if nothing had happened.He said, "Besides the recorder, what about Ye Yu's other equipment?"
"It's all four hundred and five." Huang Shaotian spread his hands, "So I said, the problem may be with the recorder. Since the recorder is always by my side, it is also possible that the problem is with me."
Yu Wenzhou: "In that case, I think you can do an in-depth inspection."
[3704: 08: 12]
Huang Shaotian put on the recorder for the first time when he was ten years old, and he had just arrived at Academy Star at that time.
Previously, he had experienced a rather boring interstellar trip for his age, and most children would take this opportunity to soak in the buffer and have a good time in the virtual game area that parents usually do not allow them to indulge in.Huang Shaotian was different, within a few days he started wandering around on the long-distance passenger ship.
When my mother brought him back, she asked wonderingly, "Don't you want to play games?"
"I've played enough." Huang Shaotian curled his lips, "The games I can play are too boring, and I'm not old enough to want to play. What's the point of winning games all the time?"
His mother didn't believe in evil, so she went up to play a game of strategy with him, but Huang Shaotian sent him back to his hometown with lightning-fast maneuvers not long after the game started, and was also mercilessly ridiculed by blocking the door for a military parade.
"...There are still games that don't consider winning or losing." Mom pressed the veins on her forehead and opened the game area, "Look, this farming game and this little wizard game are very popular. It will take 20 days!"
Huang Shaotian was unmoved: "I already know what will happen next, it's nothing fun."
Mom worried: "Then what do you like?"
"The kind that I can't guess!" Huang Shaotian announced, "I like things that no one has ever known before!"
"It's a good idea," Mom commented, "You can be an explorer someday."
"Explorer?"
"They are people who sail in the universe and explore new planets." Mom said casually, "Although this profession is not very popular now, you can try hard?"
That was the first time Huang Shaotian heard about the career of an explorer.This word seemed to have an intoxicating magic power, which made him unable to sleep at night.While he tossed and turned in bed, their passenger ship was slowly passing through the Seven Rings Channel, and the stars of the Marigold twinkled in the universe separated from him by the wall.
During the rest of the trip, he spent all his time in the Science and Education District.After arriving at Academy Star, he took out the pocket money he had accumulated and asked his father to help him choose a good-quality and cheap memory stick. When his father asked him what he wanted to do with this, he replied: "I want to save my life. record it."
"Ideal is not bad." Professor Huang commented, "And you plan to pass it on to your children?"
"It's just that there's no need for that." Huang Shaotian held the box containing the memory stick with both hands, and announced seriously, "I will be an explorer in the future, go to planets that no one has visited, and then the records in this recorder will be Tell future generations how great my adventure was!"
Professor Huang applauded: "Please take getting A+ in the entrance examination and boarding the high-speed teaching area as the starting point of your career. I am looking forward to it."
Huang Shaotian: "...What kind of tone is that, don't you believe me! Let's wait and see!"
He did succeed in achieving this initial goal, but life in preparatory school was not as pleasant as he had imagined.The traditions of the residents here are quite different from those of the fringe star natives. Their daily life is as precise as a clock, and their aesthetics and entertainment methods are also unique.It's not that Huang Shaotian doesn't want to work hard to integrate into the group, but when he realized that integrating into the group would have a huge impact on his original living habits, and even completely change his fun and ideals, which are two important parts of his personality, he finally decided to do it. Just be yourself.
Even if the speed of thinking matured during the enlightenment period far exceeds that of the mother star era, this is still a difficult choice for a child.
Fortunately, he also has a partner, Yu Wenzhou who also transferred from another school.
At first he didn't like Yu Wenzhou, but this guy blended into the group perfectly, making him a living example of a negative example of going his own way.The campus life of the two had nothing to do with each other. If it wasn't for the fact that he was rescued by passing Yu Wenzhou once when he was using the simulation machine due to a data error, he might not have said a word to him until graduation.
When he was panting and sitting on the floor, looking up at Yu Wenzhou who was standing next to him, who was wearing a meticulous school uniform, he was sure that he saw a look of annoyance on the other's face.
When he had something to say, he asked, "What's that expression on your face! Did you regret knowing me?"
Yu Wenzhou said, "A little bit."
Huang Shaotian: "..."
Although he was too tired to fight, if he could move, he would really like to kick this guy in the leg.
"Even if I don't cut off the power supply, the machine will stop by itself, and you will sweat a little more at most, nothing will happen." Yu Wenzhou added.
"That's what you said!" Huang Shaotian frowned, "I have to thank you!"
"but……"
Yu Wenzhou hesitated for a moment, and sat down on the floor next to him.He said: "But I couldn't hold back and ran over. Forget what happened today."
"Forget about your size." Huang Shaotian said, "I won't forget even if you forget."
He took off his wristband and held it up: "These things are recorded in my recorder. It is said that the data can be stored for 600 years. Are you afraid! So why do you want nothing to do with me, you bastard? !"
Yu Wenzhou looked at him helplessly, and said seriously, "It's better for us not to get involved."
Huang Shaotian finally gathered enough strength to kick his calf.
In the following campus life, Huang Shaotian began to realize that Yu Wenzhou's attention was always focused on him intentionally or unintentionally.Under the influence of the aroused competitive spirit, after a series of tit-for-tat and stalking, they finally became friends stumbling.
Huang Shaotian was finally able to ask his question: "Why are you always staring at me?"
Yu Wenzhou said solemnly: "Because you are different from others."
"Really?" Huang Shaotian desperately suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to grin, "Really? Do you really think so? Am I very different?"
"It's very different." Yu Wenzhou suppressed a smile, "It's only when I'm familiar with you that you talk a lot."
"..." Huang Shaotian looked at him suspiciously, "Are you kidding, I saw it. Do I talk a lot? It's okay! Although my dad sometimes said that, he also said that it's not a bad thing Anyway, if I want to write a travel diary in the future, I will always have something to say, and I will treat it as a pre-preparation for my ideal."
Yu Wenzhou said: "Compared to this, not being picky eaters is also a good habit that needs to be cultivated."
"Don't even think about making me eat that slippery vegetable!" Huang Shaotian shouted.
Yu Wenzhou's habits in all aspects are very good.At one time, Huang Shaotian thought that he had a similar life rhythm to the star residents of the academy, and that's why he integrated into their group so quickly, but after getting acquainted with him, he discovered that Yu Wenzhou also had a different side to him.On the surface, he doesn't appear to be deviant, but he doesn't regard deviation from the mainstream as a big deal.
This is really a very strange person. Huang Shaotian feels that his strangeness can be said to be the strangeness of teenagers, but Yu Wenzhou's strangeness usually does not show it. Only at certain times will he feel that the person in front of him seems From countless light-years away.
"Sometimes I feel like you're an alien pretending to be an ordinary schoolboy," he said.
Yu Wenzhou nodded: "Very keen, you have discovered all of this."
Huang Shaotian sneered: "Alien, you can brag if you don't come in the bottom of the physical fitness test next time."
In various subjects, Huang Shaotian can also bully him in long-distance running and sprinting.He himself has always paid attention to physical training, because to become an explorer, he must be able to serve as an independent captain, and his extraordinary physical fitness allows him to cope with various emergencies in the lonely star travel.
Once, when Yu Wenzhou was unlocking the express cabinet with his voiceprint, Huang Shaotian happened to come to him.He heard Yu Wenzhou say to the collector: "Greetings to the stars."
"Wow, what did you just say?" Huang Shaotian asked.
Yu Wenzhou closed the cabinet door and paused for a moment.Huang Shaotian rarely saw this hesitant expression on his face, if I remember correctly, the last time was when they spoke for the first time.
"It was said by a great explorer." Yu Wenzhou seemed to have finally made up his mind and said, "When he traveled, he left a legend about this sentence."
Huang Shaotian pondered for a while: "Is there such a person? I should know all the famous explorers. What's his name?"
Yu Wenzhou: "Well, I actually made it up."
"Hahahaha! Don't be shy!" Huang Shaotian laughed and patted him, "Don't worry, when I become a famous explorer in the future, I will write it in my book!"
[10,364: 07: 02]
"Greetings to the stars," Yu Wenzhou said.
The door lock of the medical room turned on a blue light for identification, and a light curtain descended from the ceiling, covering them, and made a simple scan.Huang Shaotian touched his nose: "It's been so many years, and you're still using this password."
Yu Wenzhou walked ahead and said, "There is another set of commonly used passwords."
"What do you mean, you?" Huang Shaotian came to the airtight cabin, and saw Yu Wenzhou's slightly smiling expression in the dim reflection of the glass, "I'm here, so do you miss the time in Secondary School?"
"That's not true." Yu Wenzhou pressed the button, and the hatch slowly opened, "Although others will only think that I'm your book fan...but that's not the problem."
Huang Shaotian stepped into the cabin and skillfully found a more comfortable position to lie down.As the hatch closed, countless instruments rushed towards his body, and a 120-second countdown was displayed in front of the hatch.
After making some basic settings, Yu Wenzhou sat down in the chair next to him.There are no real windows in the medical room, and the entire wall to the south is a visual screen. If the medical room is still operating normally, there should be soothing pictures that make visitors feel relaxed, such as the little rabbit eating grass, Corgi Running or something.Now there is no need to abide by these regulations. Under Yu Wenzhou's settings, not only here, but also the video screens in the entire Starport are synchronously displaying the outside world.
It wasn't that he didn't like little rabbits.
Now the dim star had sunk into the far end of the sky, and the afterglow of twilight floated among the thin clouds.In the footage of the base, there are no lights as far as the eye can see, only the bright searchlights of Xinggang slowly turning around, standing alone on the dark land.
Watchman 100 is not the last planet visited by humans in the Cape Starfield. In the early planning, its neighbors had a total of more than 76 numbers, and the actual number of developed mining areas was 76.However, their locations are too bad. Not only is the transportation inconvenient, but it is also difficult to receive returns for the resources invested in developing them into livable areas. Therefore, with the end of mining, these [-] planets will soon be ignored.
And they returned to the vision of the Human Federation, still because of their own position.
Belt ten, that's a term all citizens will hear over and over in any set of elementary cosmic geography courses.Compared to its meaning, this name is a bit mundane, but people did not give it a loud name back then, which made it easier for future generations to remember.
Not everyone can casually name planets, theorems and devices named after great scientists and pioneers of exploration, but everyone knows that the ten star belt is the "boundary".
The starry sky has boundaries, and this theory never works for philosophers and poets.But objectively, at present, human beings really cannot cross the tenth star belt and explore the universe on the other side.It is like a full sail, blocking the way for human beings to sail in this direction, and countless people who want to cross it are buried in the turbulence and tide.It is both a boundary stone and a tombstone.
In the era when people were still keen to explore, they expanded the airport on Overwatch [-].This is the planet with the best relative position to the tenth star belt, and its number happens to be ten, so in the official records, its name has changed from "Tenth Star" to "Watcher Tenth Star".On this abandoned and depleted planet, many explorers set off from its port, throwing themselves into the fascinating and terrifying blue galaxy of the tenth star belt, never to return.Some believe this place symbolizes new beginnings, while others see it as a gatepost to the end.
First miners, then explorers, then travelers, couples looking for romance, writers, film crews, and even people who want to end their lives.Gradually, people stopped coming.In the end not even the explorers came.
As is the case, today's citizens of the Commonwealth no longer yearn for the unknown as they did hundreds of years ago.Explorers roamed the known planets, took video, tasted food, chatted with viewers on the optical network, and wrote travel journals.The exploration of the Belt Ten has been reduced to vanity heroism, and the prevailing opinion is that until the technological breakthrough allows for voyage around the Belt, attempting to cross it is tantamount to suicide.
On Overwatch [-], the star port that once bid farewell to tens of thousands of explorers has also gradually declined from prosperity.Most of the staff were replaced by new automated machinery, and the Federation-affiliated management team left shortly thereafter.As of now, only one person in charge is stationed in this empty starport in rotation to maintain its establishment which has not been expunged from the records.
In this standard year, it was Yu Wenzhou who was transferred here.
Huang Shaotian sat up from the cabin with his shaggy hair that was sprinkled wet during the inspection.He paused for a few seconds to recover from his dizziness.
In the medical room, there is a slight mechanical sound from the operation of the equipment.Yu Wenzhou handed him a towel, then continued to look down at the screen.
Huang Shaotian wiped his hair and asked, "How is it?"
"The good news is that your indicators are normal." Yu Wenzhou swiped the data on the screen, "The bad news is that this inspection did not provide us with clues to solve the case."
"Oh, I knew it." Huang Shaotian said dejectedly, "This must be a supernatural event."
Yu Wenzhou beckoned, and the auxiliary equipment began to clean the medical cabin and the ground.Huang Shaotian looked down at the spherical machine rolling past his feet: "The current automation of the airport is really scary. I heard that many people in the central area can't leave the door a few times a year."
"If it wasn't so automated, I might still have a few colleagues." Yu Wenzhou kept the medical records. "Now I can maintain the operation of the airport by myself. Although it is efficient, it is not very interesting."
Huang Shaotian: "Don't you often chat with me on Xingwang! How interesting I am!"
"Well, you're the most interesting." Yu Wenzhou agreed, "However, it's more fun for the same person to sit in front of me alive."
"That's true." Huang Shaotian handed the towel to the robot, "Do you know how shocked I was when I contacted for a long time and found out that you were watching the port of Star Ten?"
"Even if I'm not here, I might be in another star port." Yu Wenzhou said, "Anyway, in this system, it's all the same."
"It's not the same. Overwatch No. [-] is not a place where you have to come. Even if you are really in line, with your resume, you should not have to come at all."
"It is my obligation to comply with the federal arrangement." Yu Wenzhou smiled.
Huang Shaotian looked at him for a few seconds, then stood up from the chair.
"Let's go to the communications room," he said. "Maybe I should contact the academy star."
[7678: 23: 02]
Huang Shaotian got his independent captain's license when he was 21 years old.In the same year, Yu Wenzhou entered the Federal Starport complex and became a young dispatcher.
The efficiency of the high-speed teaching area allowed them to receive the required education faster than their peers. Later, they studied very different subjects, but the two still often spent their leisure time together.Huang Shaotian used his scholarship and business loans to buy a small ship that was about to reach its end of life, sprayed it a gleaming goose yellow, and looked like a flying banana among the various vehicles in the star port.When Yu Wenzhou was invited to visit his "first car of a great explorer", he couldn't help showing a surprised expression: "What is your intention of painting it in this color..."
"Because it's very conspicuous!" Huang Shaotian put his hips on his hips, "I don't have the ability to make it look good right now, so I'll settle for the next best thing, making it conspicuous enough. If it is conspicuous, the chances of being rescued are higher."
Yu Wenzhou: "There seems to be no statistics to show this?"
"Don't expose me." Huang Shaotian said painfully, "Actually, I made a wrong adjustment of the program. I thought it was spraying black paint, but the broken device automatically matched me with the cheapest plan because I didn't have enough balance."
"..." Yu Wenzhou was silent for a moment, then said pertinently, "Cheapness is also an advantage."
Two people stood on the platform next to the mooring area, and one of them was holding a tiger skin coconut - this is the signature item of the port restaurant, which provides a set of exotic local delicacies for travelers to choose every day.Huang Shaotian bit his straw and said vaguely: "Sooner or later, I will build the coolest boat."
"Is it the blueprint you showed me last time?" Yu Wenzhou thought for a while, "That's pretty good."
"That's the one!" Huang Shaotian knocked on the bracelet, and a small projection appeared in the air.The ship was not entirely black, but the wings and stern were embellished with a pattern lighter than cobalt blue, flowing and elegant like a bird.He looked at it fascinated: "This is the light of my life, the fire of my soul..."
"It's not very gentlemanly to talk about the girl of your dreams in front of your current Miss Banana." Yu Wenzhou poked the projection.
Huang Shaotian: "I'm sorry, I'm such a bastard. For it, I'm willing to only take nutritional supplements every day."
"According to your design plan, its cost will not be enough to save 100 years of food." Yu Wenzhou pointed out, "Increasing income is more important than reducing expenditure, and health is the capital."
"Oh, I know! I know!" Huang Shaotian took a big mouthful of golden coconut water angrily, "It's really expensive! But there's no other way, I just want the best."
Yu Wenzhou said: "In short, you have passed the license test now, and the hardest part is over. Next, you only need to make a few challenges that will make you famous, and it will be easy with sponsorship."
"No..." Huang Shaotian said dryly, "Although I know that you have always had confidence in me, you don't have to be so confident, right? The hardest part is over, the adventure is the biggest difficulty, okay? good!"
"For others, maybe." Yu Wenzhou put an empty coconut on top of a passing cleaning machine, "But I believe that no adventure can stop you."
"You man," Huang Shaotian turned his head, "don't always say things that stress you out all of a sudden."
He rubbed his slightly red ears, and added: "But... anyway, just wait and see!"
The person who sold that old spaceship (the current Banana) to Huang Shaotian had no idea that his own spaceship would be in the news so quickly.When the buyer who just graduated said to him, "I'm going to drive it to explore", he said that you should practice driving this car first, and change to a better one when you have money.Not long after, he saw the video record of the banana ship passing through the Convergence Star Ring, and the rice ball in his mouth was scared away.
"I'm really glad that it didn't fall apart at a critical moment." As the former owner of the spaceship, he said fearfully to the Starnet reporter who came to interview him, "That kid...is called Huang Shaotian, he is too courageous."
After trying out his skills on several planets in tourist areas, Huang Shaotian set the target of the first challenge at the converged star ring area on the edge of the galaxy.An extremely chaotic force field is distributed in the center of the star ring. In the early years, there were one or two cases of successfully passing through the center of the star ring, but no exact content records were left.According to oral information, it is said that when passing through it, passengers on the spaceship can see strange sights that do not yet exist in this galaxy area from the middle.
Huang Shaotian successfully completed this challenge, at the cost of almost [-]% of the Banana being damaged.The rescuers brought him back in time, and brought him back to the nearby Xinggang—the place where Yu Wenzhou had recently worked.
When he woke up drowsily from the medical cabin, the nurse next to him said happily, "You're awake!"
"I'm awake." Huang Shaotian said blankly.
"You did it!" The nurse was even more excited than he was, "You are the third person to pass through the Convergence Star Ring in recorded history!"
Huang Shaotian recovered a little strength, and murmured, "That's right."
Yu Wenzhou was the first person who was allowed to visit the sick, and Huang Shaotian was almost recovered by then.The walls of the medical room in Xinggang are painted powder blue, and the little rabbits on the screen are running around on the grass.
"You look fine." Yu Wenzhou sat down beside his medical cabin and looked at his face.Huang Shaotian's hair was a little faded in the treatment liquid, and his skin was also a shade of white, but he was in good spirits.
"It's okay." Huang Shaotian tried his best to suppress his expression, but his tail seemed to have been raised, "Am I great?"
Yu Wenzhou said, "You really don't want your life."
"You're praising me, right?" Huang Shaotian asked.
Yu Wenzhou: "Obviously."
He made a move that Huang Shaotian didn't expect - hugged him hard.
"Ouch!" Huang Shaotian yelled, "I'm dizzy! I'm dizzy!!"
His face was flushed to the tips of his ears.Yu Wenzhou let him go, and calmly said, "You're not dizzy. I watched you play games when I came in."
"Why are you so nervous." Huang Shaotian tried to change the subject, "Don't you have great confidence in me?"
"Yes." Yu Wenzhou said, "I know you can. But it doesn't prevent me from worrying."
Huang Shaotian whispered, "That means you don't have enough confidence in me."
Yu Wenzhou: "That's not fair, I may be the person who has the most confidence in you in the whole world."
"I believe it." Huang Shaotian patted him on the shoulder, "By the way, how is my Miss Banana?"
"It's hopeless." Yu Wenzhou said succinctly.
"..." Huang Shaotian stared at him, "Can't you comfort me?!"
"At least it has fulfilled its mission." Yu Wenzhou said, "It has protected you and allowed you to speak here."
"Its mission is to help me complete the challenge." Huang Shaotian shrugged, "It's just a matter of protecting me..."
Yu Wenzhou laughed.He opened the jar at hand, and inside was a golden-red fruit pudding.Huang Shaotian brought it over happily and started to eat: "Is this a special product of the academy stars? I have already started to miss it not long after I graduated!"
"By the way," Yu Wenzhou asked, "did you see anything special when you traveled through the star ring?"
"Well..." Huang Shaotian dragged his voice, and said after whetting his appetite: "Actually, no, I think I just had some messy hallucinations. Because it was in the complete master control mode at that time, and the degree of self-regulation of the system was limited, the spaceship could not control itself." Out of control."
The nurse came in at this time to update the data in the medical cabin.She said happily: "I made a special news series for you, you can enjoy it later."
"Although it's a bit embarrassing...but thank you." Huang Shaotian rubbed his face, "It seems that I'm really famous?"
"Of course." The nurse said sincerely. "Are you going to write a book next? Or accept those things, various invitations?"
"I will write, and I still need to save money for my new spaceship." Huang Shaotian said, "The invitation is fine, I still want to continue to take risks."
"But you have completed an adventure that no one else can do!" The nurse shook her head incomprehensibly.
After she left the medical room, Huang Shaotian muttered, "But I'm not the first person to do it, am I?"
Yu Wenzhou said: "Nowadays there are not many risks that no one can take."
"—there are still."
Huang Shaotian raised his head, his eyes sparkled, "There are still."
[10,364: 07: 45]
In the promenade above the star port, the two walked side by side.
"I heard that there should be a wall with lip prints here." Huang Shaotian looked around.
"It does exist, but it's not here." Yu Wenzhou pointed to the front, "In the auditorium, we will see it after we pass through."
"Isn't it in the corridor?" Huang Shaotian looked a little regretful, "I read in the records that during the most prosperous time of Overwatch [-], explorers left records here every day. At the beginning, there was a small piece of permanent material message board, which later turned into a wall of lip prints that stretched down the hallway..."
"It used to be, but because it was not easy to preserve, it was moved to the auditorium." Yu Wenzhou said, "Nowadays, there are occasional travelers who come to pay their respects to this relic, and the management team thinks that putting the auditorium and these souvenirs together will make it feel like a scenic spot. "
"Although I can understand this arrangement...but I still think it's better to put it here." Huang Shaotian said.
Yu Wenzhou nodded: "I think so too."
They didn't say the main reason: because no new adventurers left their mark here.
This promenade connects the main tower of the port with the outer harbor which is ready for navigation.Although there are ground vehicles, most of the explorers back then chose to walk from here to board the ship, which has almost become a customary ceremony.Pressing the lip print is also part of it: even if technology continues to develop and the territory of the starry sky continues to expand, it is still human enthusiasm, persistence, and love that can create and explore all of this.
The sky has completely darkened, the corridor
