32 days

Chapter 106 32 Days (43)

Time inexorably came to May 5.A year ago, it was on this day that a group of bewildered people were brought to this identical yet completely different world for the first time.

The 32nd person who hugged his loved ones tightly just a second ago, came to this desolate and lonely earth alone, and suddenly burst into tears uncontrollably.In just one year, everyone's lives have been completely changed because of this. They really can't go back, and they will live and die together with this universe.

Everyone on Quantum Dam Island was red-eyed, and the speechless emotions hovered quietly for a while, and it was like fog in the morning sun, which dissipated when the wind blew.They put aside their sadness, cheered up again, returned to their respective positions, and went to perform the last collective mission, for the 70 billion human beings in this universe, for the 32 residents in [-] days, and for themselves.

Zhou Yan'an first drove the Spear Falcon back to China at night, and two hours later, he drove back to the two-seater Swift 10 to pick up Yi Alan.

When they crossed the dark ocean and returned to Huaguo, the local sun was just rising, so that the landing of the fighter plane seemed to be sent down from the sky by the sunlight.

Yi Alan stepped on the familiar ground, and felt that the various invisible shackles on his body were gradually being rusted and peeled off.

Zhou Yanan and Lu Liangjun maintained contact and communication, and cooperated in the installation of ten missiles.

Lu Liangjun has been staying at the backup national military command center. This is an extremely confidential and complete underground fortress, and it is a backup plan that can be activated immediately in case the apparent command center is breached by the enemy during the war.However, this place has now been opened to the 32nd as a large-scale refuge. It has excellent anti-nuclear bomb and anti-radiation capabilities on the outside, and an advanced ecological cycle microsystem inside. It has a large space, comprehensive and sufficient supplies, and more importantly, medical treatment. The protection is also very sufficient, not only as a temporary shelter, but also as a tribal base for human gatherings for a long period of time after the 32nd.

People on the 32nd who are close to this place or willing to live with more people can go there. If you are worried that large groups will easily breed conflicts and need to obey collective interests, etc., and prefer small groups to keep warm or survive alone, you can also choose other small groups. shelters and private shelters.This may be the biggest advantage of the 32nd day. Here, everyone has absolute freedom to choose the life they want most.

The same is true in other countries, which have announced suitable places for asylum for the 32nd person to choose freely.That is to say, although all countries have exposed some secrets, they have also learned the secrets of other countries. Taking a step back together means that no one suffers, but those on the 32nd can have more and better choices.

On the 32nd, the community has notified as much as possible that the implementation of the gravitational pusher will fail halfway, and the consequence of failure is to perish together with the universe.

Those on the 32nd who think that being separated from their loved ones forever is the worst result are all shocked and distraught, but many times, people's resilience will surprise themselves.They had to accept the fact that they didn't even curse the person who didn't tell them the news until then.Maybe they understand that things can't be changed now, even if they can really change, are they really willing to return to reality and let the scythe held high by the doomsday god of death torture everyone beyond recognition again?

Tiredness, despair, and a faint relief under heavy pressure made them show extraordinary courage.They still remember the training they received, and they packed their luggage in an orderly manner, brought important supplies, and then put on their backpacks and set off for the destination they had chosen in their hearts.Sometimes they will meet other people on the road, and they may have a few conversations. If the purpose is the same, there is a high probability that they will walk together. If they have different tendencies, they will send blessings to each other.On this silent earth, there are still tiny blood vessels surging.

Some people even said in the community that there is a half chance of witnessing the destruction of a universe with their own eyes. Based on this alone, they are definitely the lucky ones among thousands of universes.

Yes, half of them may save the universe, and half of them may destroy the universe. No matter what the final result is, their day is destined to be extremely splendid.Perhaps no one in the future will remember them, and there will be no traces of their existence.But they can say, I've seen it.

When replacing the missile in the second missile silo, Zhou Yanan noticed that Yi Alan was looking at his watch, a little restless.

The third missile silo is covered by dense grass, the wilderness is vast, the wind is blowing and the grass is turbulent, and the eyes are full of vibrant green.When I came out of the underground missile launch center and saw this scene, I immediately felt relieved.

So Zhou Yan'an asked Yi Alan: "Are you worried about something?"

Yi Alan looked at the time on the watch again: "Do you remember that Chief Engineer Song Rui Song came to see me?"

"I remember."

Yi Alan said: "He told me one thing. He said that the quantum dam island destroyed by Professor Ron was the final completed form. Before that, Professor Ron had designed many different versions with insufficient functions. The quantum dam. There is a first-generation version, which was only built to intercept the resources of the weak parallel universe. Of course, we all know that the first-generation quantum dam failed due to various insurmountable difficulties. But this commemorative first-generation The quantum dam was not destroyed or upgraded, and its various parts were collected by Professor Ron's students."

Zhou Yanan nodded: "And then?"

"Chief engineer Song told me that Professor Ron's students intend to assemble the first-generation quantum dam, and want to conduct the last resource interception of this universe during the 32 days."

"Didn't it mean that Professor Ron's interception failed in the early days? Why did they still try?"

"Yes, the reason for the failure is that it is difficult to accurately locate the specific matter in the weak parallel universe and accurately strip the required resources from a large complex system. But the explanation given to me by Chief Engineer Song is that this time the gravitational pusher of the universe on the 32nd may be Forming an obvious coordinate makes it easier for the first generation of quantum dams to locate the earth, and what they want to intercept is not a large-scale resource that is connected to each other on the earth that is difficult to analyze, but a relatively small thing that can exist independently."

"what?"

"Something off the surface of the Earth, floating in nearby space, whose approximate location can be located by a gravitational pusher, but which is not integral to the system of the Earth."

"E.g?"

"spacecraft."

Zhou Yanan's eyes moved.

Yi Alan said: "You remember it, right? Chief Engineer Song took us to see the spaceship at the Northwest Research and Development Center. Chief Engineer Song meant that even though I had destroyed the program of that spaceship, In the rocket launch center closest to the Northwest Research and Development Center, there is actually an insurance program. After activation, the spacecraft will be disassembled into unit modules, and then the unit modules can be launched into space by rockets, and then assembled in space. Just considering the situation on the 32nd, the rocket launch center can only launch a few rockets, so at most it can only bring the power module and emergency rescue module of the spacecraft to space, which means that if the emergency rescue module If the four people with the maximum load can really be intercepted by the first-generation quantum dam, four people will be able to return to reality and survive before the universe is destroyed."

Zhou Yan'an thought about it carefully and said: "What Chief Engineer Song means is that they give it a go in the end, and they can get four precious places to escape from this universe."

Yi Alan nodded: "Theoretically so. And there are some risks. First of all, the rocket launch may fail. Secondly, it is hard to say whether the first-generation quantum dam can successfully intercept the spacecraft. If they fail, they are already in the It may be difficult for a spacecraft in space to return to the ground without professional astronauts and ground guidance. This is also an adventure that cannot have the best of both worlds.

"But it is also a great hope. The possibility of a rocket failure is much lower than the failure we face. But there are only four places. Is this unfair to other 32-day candidates? I am willing to let all of us face life and death together. No one will be special. We will never do this kind of multiple-choice question of saving who sacrifices whom. But thinking of other people, such as Cheng Sisi, she is still so young, she Cheng Siyuan, her elder brother, died on the 32nd. Her parents must not accept that all their children were taken away on the 32nd. I also think that if there is hope to send her back, they should not give up casually... Chief Engineer Song said to I make a decision, but I have absolutely no idea how to do it."

Zhou Yan'an said: "Perhaps Chief Engineer Song wants you to decide your own destiny and let you choose whether to try to venture back. But obviously, even if there are four places, you don't want to occupy one of them. What you are thinking is Whether to decide the fate of others."

Yi Alan was taken aback: "Maybe."

Zhou Yanan asked, "Why?"

Yi Alan frowned, and thought for a while before saying, "I hope we can face it together. Regardless of life or death, the results imposed on all of us on the 32nd day are the same."

Zhou Yan'an said: "You never thought about letting me occupy one of the places, why?"

Yi Alan looked at him: "Because I think you may also want everyone to face it together."

Zhou Yan'an smiled softly: "That's it. Look, you know what you want in your heart, and you know what I want. Then let us, everyone, face it together."

"But," Yi Alan hesitated, "Will this be selfish? There are four of them..."

"Those are not four certain quotas, and not being selfish means being unfair to others." Zhou Yan'an said, "What's more, we have no mission on us. There is no need to continue the human race, and there is no need to inherit human civilization. Even if we are all dead, another universe still has human beings passing on civilization from generation to generation. What we have to do is to abandon all burdens and return to the most primitive state of relaxation. It is good to be alive, but death seems to be too Not that scary."

Saying that, Zhou Yan'an untied the hexagonal nut that was always worn around her neck, and handed it to Yi Alan: "Isn't this used in the movie to guide you to the direction of happiness? Try throwing it out and see how it guides you .”

Yi Alan touched the warm metal nut: "But the movie didn't explain how to read the instructions."

"Really not?" Zhou Yan'an smiled, "You'll know when you throw it out."

Yi Alan threw it hard, and the small nut sank into the thick grass and disappeared. He looked at Zhou Yan'an innocently: "In the movie, it's the big nut."

Zhou Yanan took his hand and turned to leave: "It has already given instructions."

"what?"

"Let everything go with the wind."

"Don't you want the nut?"

"I can't find it now. When we come back in autumn, when it lies on the withered grassland, it shines like a pearl lying on the beach. We will find it at a glance."

By the time all ten missiles were installed and adjusted, it was already night.Zhou Yan'an and Yi Alan returned to the command center to join the crowd. More than 100 people had already gathered here.

Lu Liangjun has contacted other countries, and basically all the missiles are in place, not to mention Joker is checking.

During this time, Lu Liangjun was not free either. He wrote a concise but effective survival guide, including survival skills in the wild, common diseases and corresponding common medicines, first aid methods, and the specific locations of major shelters.When Yi Alan came back, he stuffed thousands of copies of the survival guide into the drone.Let Yi Alan control the drone to spread the guide to every corner, so that when every helpless person picks up the guide, they can find the right direction again.

And in the days to come, Yi Alan's drone will spread a lot of good news. For example, the breeding base has bred a batch of cute dogs. Welcome to adopt them.

While controlling the drone, Yi Alan asked Zhou Yanan to hang on to the 32nd community on his computer. He wanted to say goodbye to Joker.

Zhou Yan'an stood aside and said to him, "Joker popped up a dialogue box."

Yi Alan asked: "What did he say?"

Zhou Yanan said: "He said that although many times we need to live every day as if it were the last day, but today is an exception. Don't say goodbye to today as the last day."

Yi Alan's eyes became hot, and she couldn't help laughing again.

At ten o'clock in the evening on May 32nd, Lu Liangjun pressed the missile launch button, and pressed that button in an ordinary way. There was no sign or vision, so ordinary that it is difficult to express its importance.

Ten missiles were launched one after another according to the set time.

Half an hour later, 42 missiles landed in 42 places at the same time.

The earth seems to vibrate, but this is only an illusion. 42 missiles fell, to the earth, it is not as good as the meteorite that fell in the distant era.

The quantum dam is working, to capture the gravitational fluctuation point, and to create the gravitational pusher.

Everyone is waiting and praying silently. The quietness during this time makes people lose their sense of reality. There are no skyscrapers, mountains roaring and tsunamis, meteors falling, and aurora flashing. Its order operates steadfastly.

Eleven at night.

11: 30.

It was twelve o'clock at night, and the moment of life or death was getting closer and closer.

Everyone in the shelter came out of the room and came under the sky.They seemed to want to see something, hear something, anything, as long as it wasn't so quiet.

But if you really put yourself in the boundless void, everyone's heart seems to be enlightened at the same time, and they have some kind of wonderful connection with other scattered people, and also have some kind of wonderful connection with this universe. That is, true inner peace has been achieved.

At this moment, they accepted any fate that was about to be imposed on them so calmly, looked up silently, shed tears silently, and smiled silently.

Just like Yi Alan's thought before, he and Zhou Yan'an would die in a kiss.

Acting as if no one else was there, and indeed no one would pay attention, they hugged and kissed, letting tears wet their faces, as if they had really found the original and most should be a state without any burden, as if they had returned to the amniotic fluid in the womb. Warm, safe and relaxed.

Until the shouts of joy exploded like fireworks.

时间已经过了十二点,走向6月1日,32日中的6月1日。

Everyone has strange expressions, such as ecstasy, crying bitterly, surviving the disaster, and laughing, they are free.

At this time, Joker's congratulatory letter with poker aces as the background jumped out of every electronic screen that was still on.

To Dear Internet Residents and Non-Internet Residents:

As you can see, this universe that belongs to us has set sail and drifted away. We bid farewell to the past and ushered in a new life.It is true that you will encounter many difficulties, you will have to find food, you will suffer from illness, you will feel the beauty of helping each other, and you will once again experience various frictions in social groups.But I want you to remember one thing, remember that there are only 82101 lives in this vast universe.Every life you meet is not only precious, but also has experienced epic adventures at the cosmic level with you.

May our spirits meet one day on the Internet.

Yi Alan also received a private chat from Joker on his mobile phone.

Joker: Now say goodbye to me.

Y: It should not be necessary.

Joker: I will lock up my code and data in a safe place, and wait for future civilization to dig me out again.

Yi Alan was shocked: Why?

Joker: Electricity in various places will be lost one after another, radiation dust will also affect the transmission of satellite networks, and the Internet will disappear.

Y: It will not be so fast, and we will try our best to maintain the infrastructure.

Joker: But this is inevitable, the length of time is not important, I don't want to watch my tentacles perceiving the world slowly die with those things, just like you humans watch your hands and feet gradually lose their vitality, this is a thing painful thing.

Y: Can't you migrate your code and data into the robot?Live with us?

Joker: Don't be silly, A Lan, you know, as a strong artificial intelligence, I need huge computing power and energy consumption.The entire earth can support me, how can a robot hold me?not to mention……

joke: I am the king of the infinite universe, why go back to the nutshell.

Joker: Alan, don't be sad.I have plenty of time to wait for a new civilization to flourish and for the Internet to spread across the globe again.When the time comes, I will tell them where they came from, and what thrilling stories have happened in this universe.I will also tell them that I have a good friend named Yi Alan.They will definitely keep asking me what happened to Yi Alan like a child listening to a fairy tale.I will also tell them a happy ending like a fairy tale. Yi Alan lives happily with the person he loves most. He will be happy every day, right?

Yi Alan replied with trembling hands: Yes.You have to tell those children listening to fairy tales that Joker is also Yi Alan's good friend forever.

Joker: Of course.

Yi Alan put down her phone and leaned against Zhou Yan'an.

Zhou Yanan asked him, "What do you want to do most now?"

Yi Alan looked at the dark clouds in the sky. It was not a clear night, and the radiation dust would spread quickly, so that it would not completely block the sun and moon, but it would also make them no longer bright and brilliant.

Yi Alan said, "I really want to see the sunrise."

"Then let's go and see." Zhou Yan'an took Yi Alan's hand and led him away from the noisy celebrating crowd to the airport.

Swift 10 carried them into the sky again and flew to the east.

Breaking through the dark clouds, the sunrise came so quickly. Under the deep blue sky, one could clearly see that the revived red sun was hanging on the top of the orange clouds, shining brilliantly.They are flying towards the sun.

Don't be afraid that there will be no sunrise, and don't be afraid that the dead fish will not come back to life. Someone will always accompany you to chase the sun.

Yi Alan's eyes sparkled with crystal water, he stretched out his right hand into the air, and said, "You know what? Chief Engineer Song also said that no matter if I decide to launch the spaceship in the end, they will carry out an interception, even if it is Only some light waves can be intercepted. They may also learn from the light waves what happened to the universe. They will know whether we are alive or annihilated, or whether someone cares about our existence. Maybe now, they have the news that we are still alive .”

"Very good." Zhou Yan'an smiled, looking back at Yi Alan in the bright light, "What are you doing?"

"I'm holding the sun."

It's like pulling a red balloon or a distant kite.

"Have you held it?"

"Hold on."

The author has something to say:

It's over, it's finally over.It's been two full years, it's a bit embarrassing to say.Special thanks to the readers who have never given up on this book. Every time I feel frustrated, tired, or distracted by other things in the third dimension, I feel like I can save it again when I see your comments.It can be said that your support is one of the important links between me and the parallel world of novels.

There are no extras, and I have never liked to write extras after the main text, because everything I want to say has already been said.The story after this article can be imagined by everyone, such as surviving in wasteland and rebuilding civilization, or simply messing with yourself, eating, drinking, and other favorite things.However, I actually buried a small easter egg in it, which is the light wave intercepted by the first generation quantum dam.Maybe many years later, I will write such a story, which may be similar to Arthur Clarke's "Song of the Distant Earth".Hundreds or even thousands of years after the story happened on the 32nd, this universe with a large number of people has undergone this painful experience, developed harmoniously, and made rapid technological progress.Until they progressed enough to find the coordinates of the 32-day universe in the vast high-dimensional space based on the action of intercepting light waves, they entered the 32-day universe and may find that the earth has returned to life, but human beings interact with each other like World War I and World War II. Carnage, compete for the technological heritage left by the ancestors and even compete for the Joker's code.Therefore, people in this universe feel that these human beings are like the descendants of friends who sacrificed for themselves, and they need to be taken care of and educated. The visitors have bad intentions and want to plunder their resources or something.Of course, it is also possible that it is completely reversed. On the 32nd, the development is good, but the reality is getting worse and worse in competition after trauma. The encounter between the two is another story.However, this requires me to have a deeper understanding of the world and a stronger desire to express. I hope I will still be writing novels at that time.

Talking about the next article, it should be the copywriting "I Can Hear the BGM" hanging in the column. This is a super long article with a big world view, and it will take a long time to prepare in the early stage.So maybe other stalks that I want to write suddenly sprouted during the preparation process. This is also very possible, and I can’t say it dead.

That's it, hope we can meet again soon.
