When the law of conservation of isolation is broken
Chapter 89: Going to the Universe
The place that passes through the tunnel and leaves the territory of Chongqing is called Xinhuangdi.At least Zhang Luotuo called it that.
That night, they left the city and broke into this place, flying over the land full of stars, Zhang Luotuo was completely immersed in this dazzling scene, the stars, the moon, the night sky.He stared at the sky without blinking, and his eyes moved with the spaceship that Joad was driving.He watched all night, refusing to close his eyes, and he saw the scene changing in front of him, like magic.
At the dawn of the next day, Zhang Luotuo saw the real sun for the first time. It was like a silver spoon, illuminating the whole land. It seemed that there was no heat on its surface, but it was hot only when it touched it. meaning.Zhang Luotuo felt its light burn his skin like an electric current.
Qiao De is more familiar with the rays of the sun than Zhang Luotuo, he has felt it for many years, so he is not as incredible as Zhang Luotuo, but when he saw the first ray of dawn hanging on his arm, his face glowed. There was a slight blush.
The bright sunlight allowed them to look down at the land from above. Zhang Luotuo found that the land was flat, vast and uninhabited, like a piece of bare wasteland—the yellow land on the edge of Chongqing City.But there is still a difference. The reason why Zhang Luotuo calls this place Xinhuangdi is because it has stars at night, and the sun rises on time during the day, illuminating the entire horizon.
He had never seen this in Chongqing, and the heavy gray fog enveloped everything.
But now, maybe Chongqing can also be shrouded in the sun again.he thought happily.But he didn't know the specific situation in Chongqing. Shortly after entering the new wasteland and coming out of the unnamed tunnel, the network and signal lost contact again. Zheng Zheng and his communication were cut off. He couldn't get in touch again. He tried many times, but the result was the same. This may be because they left Chongqing.
The last time he spoke with Zheng Zheng, Zheng Zheng told him not to wait for them anymore.
"We're fine," she said happily, her voice still crying from seeing the unthinkable.
"But—" Zhang Luotuo said worriedly.
"We will go to the south wall in a few days and leave Chongqing." Zheng Zheng interrupted him, her voice was relaxed and firm.
"But what if the south wall is closed?" Zhang Luotuo said.
Zheng Zheng seemed to shrug her shoulders over there, and there was a strong noise around her, which seemed to be the exclamation of other people. "What's that?" Zhang Luotuo heard the group say.Then a man answered him. "Polaris, I've only seen it in books."
"Don't worry, it can't be closed so quickly. And, even if it is closed so quickly, we already know how to crack it." She said.
"People, the most important thing is people, do you understand the camel—" Zheng Zheng said to him mysteriously, and the signal on her side gradually weakened again.
"Now, all people have seen the stars, and they can never forget, just like us."
Those were her last words, resonant.
So they had to continue to drive the spaceship forward, every day and every night.Zhang Luotuo remained ecstatically excited, a kind of happiness like a traveler filled his chest, which he had never experienced in many years before, he greedily breathed the dry but fresh air, watching the light shining on the earth Even though he had thought about it thousands of times in his heart, he still couldn't predict it—it turns out that the light of the sun is like this, even if all the holographic images of the city are superimposed to form a new image, it is absolutely incomparable it.The sun seems to be forever.
Compared with him, Joad is much calmer, although he occasionally has a forgetful smile on his mouth, but that smile is often produced by Zhang Luotuo.He looked at him, and smiled, and smiled when he looked at the sun, and the rest of the time, he was just as usual, poring over, trying to find the root of anything, and worrying about something.
After half a day of driving, when the sun rose high in the sky, the scene on the land was clear enough. Zhang Luotuo leaned against the window and found that every time he flew over the area, there would always be many garrisoned buildings in the empty yellow land. The sloppy buildings are next to each other, forming many roads, like a city, but it is smaller, a miniature city without any people living in it.
"This is the part of the earth other than Chongqing." Joad looked at those scenes and told Zhang Luotuo what he had learned at the Mars base, the history of those old worlds.But these places were completely forgotten after the end of the earth.When the tide gradually recedes and the doomsday goes back to the era of imitation humans, this place is no longer known, not to mention that Mars deliberately separates this place from Chongqing.Judging from the topography, this is probably a plain area, which used to be part of a country, but now, no one belongs here, because there is no one there.
"In the past—did the cities of the old world grow like this?" Zhang Luotuo asked curiously.
Joad shook his head, looked at the land, and replied softly: "I think this is an evacuation zone."
The evacuation area, Qiao De told Zhang Luotuo.Before the doomsday, people were scrambling to evacuate from the earth and fly to Mars, but there were too many people on the earth, and the spaceships were limited, so at that time, various countries issued orders to build evacuation areas in various regions. The names of the evacuation areas came from No. Named Infinity, before evacuating Earth and boarding a spaceship, people temporarily live in evacuation zones, which are scattered throughout the world.
Qiao De and Zhang Luotuo parked the spaceship at the end of the evacuation area and got off the spaceship.Joad took Zhang Camel and found a huge sign built on the ground: Evacuation Zone No. 102452.Decades ago, when there were still many people here waiting to leave, it had been lit to show them the way to Mars, but now, because of the lack of electricity, it has gone out.
They wandered around the city for a while, but not for long.Zhang Luotuo wandered casually in this miniature city, which can be completed in half an hour. He walked into supermarkets, streets or clothing stores, and found that everything that the city has is here, but here is more miniature, only Chongqing As big as one percent of the city, and because there is no one in the city, it is too empty, showing the appearance of being abandoned.There are even a lot of food, water and other things in the supermarket that are decades out of date, but they are also abandoned, thrown on the earth, on this city.
Zhang Luotuo remembered what Qiao De said. "Humans throw away a lot when they leave." It's true.He thought, including this evacuation zone, which was built to be abandoned.
They boarded their spaceship again at [-]:[-] p.m., and hurriedly left the evacuation zone—although they left Chongqing, they were afraid that Mars would find out that they had left, and sent troops to chase after them.
Joad took many of the batteries in the city, and although the batteries sold in the city's shops have been dusted after decades, they are still well preserved and can even be used as power fuel for spaceships.
They left the city and continued to fly forward. As for what they would do next and where they were going, Zhang Luotuo had no idea for the time being. The feeling of being free was like drinking alcohol, and he couldn't think of anything in the dizzy happiness. thing, they just go, go forward.Fortunately, the two of them are not lonely and boring. Apart from the unimaginable scenery and the diamond-like stars in the night sky, there are other partners to accompany them.Amei would always play the songs in its inventory and force them to sing together, he fell in love with singing, but no one compromised, so Amei had to sing with Mao Mao - this robot pet is walking through the south wall After that, they slept for five days and five nights. On the sixth day after they arrived in Xinhuangdi, they woke up from their seats and gently climbed onto Zhang Camel's shoulders.
"Chirp." It ushered in the dawn with a tweet.
They continue to fly in the new wasteland, and they hardly need to worry about the power of the spacecraft, because there are many evacuation areas on land that can provide them with power. In 10 minutes they'll find an evacuation zone formed by people.
They flew day and night for a week, but they still didn't see the pursuers that Mars might send behind them, so they gradually let go of their hearts. At night, they began to choose to dock in a hidden place in a certain evacuation area. Turn on the heating in the car, get a good night's sleep, and continue to fly forward the next day refreshed.
Slowly, Zhang Luotuo began to get used to this kind of drifting life, flying forward every day, constantly flying forward, without a destination, just like this.
"Like gypsies." He heard Joad say, and he told him that gypsies are a wandering race, and Zhang Luotuo had never heard of such a race before, and he listened with relish to Joad's recounting of the mystery national story.
Zhang Luotuo felt very happy. He saw many different scenes from the night scenes in Chongqing: colorful sky, sun, moon and stars, those unusual natural scenes, which he had never seen before, or even imagined. He had to see them before, but now, they appeared in front of him, kissing his forehead like an acquaintance, and he could see them when he looked up.He felt a sense of fullness haunting him day and night—joy, happiness, a strange thirst for knowledge filled by these bewildering vistas.When he blinked, he saw the white sandy beach, the gentle birds, and all these overlapped with his eyes, merged together, became one.
It turns out that this is the world.he thinks.In the past, he always wanted to travel to Chongqing after retirement, but now, he never imagined that a world countless times bigger than Chongqing was in front of him, and he shuttled through it like an endless world.
And, more importantly, Zhang Luotuo felt that he was free, completely free, just like a gypsy.Occasionally, Zhang Luotuo will look up to the sky, looking at the sun or stars in the sky.And Joad would squint and look up to the sky with him.Then they looked at each other and smiled.
But at the same time, Zhang Luotuo felt that in this sense of satisfaction, he had a strange sense of longing. The sense of longing was hidden under the sense of satisfaction, and it was mixed in his heart a long time ago, but at that time, because of Chongqing, those things were hidden. , and now, as he looked at the stars in the sky, the endless land, the colored, black wind blowing, the longing crept out of its shell, and he could hear it and see it.Especially when he was with Joad, he felt that desire was even more faltering.
And, he knew, when he looked at Joad, he saw that there was also a slight sense of longing hidden in Joad's gray eyes, brightened by the stars of this sky.
Zhang Luotuo felt that he knew what Joad was thinking, and Joad also knew what he was thinking, and they both knew what the other was thinking.
It turns out that the outside of Chongqing looks like this, to be precise, it is the earth——
What about the universe?What the universe is like.
But they didn't say it.
They continued to fly through numerous evacuation zones and continued to enjoy their freedom.
One afternoon, as usual, they drove the spacecraft through numerous evacuation areas, looking out at the distant scenery.When they passed through the edge of an evacuation area, Zhang Luotuo found that there seemed to be a huge thing docked on the ground. He curiously asked Joad to slow down. He had never seen such a huge thing in the previous evacuation area.
Joad slowed down, let the spaceship stop over the thing, and then slowly descended, and found that it was a spaceship. The spaceship looked very similar to the spaceship they drove, but it was about four times the size of their spaceship , and it's dirty, all kinds of stains all over the wings, it's obviously been out of service for a long time.
They walked over, Zhang Luotuo hugged Maomao, and opened the cockpit of the spaceship. The inside was full of long-dried sand and dust, and Maomao sneezed involuntarily.
"This is a spaceship, type Z-215. It can travel in the universe, but it is a very backward technology. It is easy to maneuver. The technology is similar to that of spaceships on the earth, and it is safe, but the speed is slow." Joad stood Behind them, judged, he recalled every bit of what he had learned on Mars, "when it was just being made and used by people, mainly to rescue, to transport Earth people from Earth to Mars."
Zhang Luotuo tried to start the spacecraft, but there was no response after pressing it a few times. It was obviously damaged.
"I guess it was accidentally broken when transporting people from the extraction area to Mars, so it was left here." Joad said.
He circled around the spaceship, and sure enough, he found a notice stuck on the tail of the spaceship.
"This spaceship is broken and cannot be transported." It was written in Chinese.
Zhang Luotuo touched the chair covered with dry sand, lost in thought.
He raised his head, glanced at Joad, and found that Joad was also looking at him.
"Chirp." Maomao yelled at them, reminding them of its existence. It looked at them curiously, not knowing why they were distracted.
"Let's go?" Joad came back to his senses, asked Zhang Luotuo, and motioned to him.
Zhang Luotuo got up slowly and replied, "Let's go."
That night, they parked the spaceship at the edge of an evacuation area, sat in their own spaceship and listened to music, and Ah Mei played "The Moon Represents My Heart" for them.Zhang Luotuo stared at the moon above him. He couldn't get enough of it. It looked like a strange new creature.
He turned his head, and Joad's profile was illuminated by the moonlight. He looked very calm, and Mao Mao was sleeping in his arms, his belly rising and falling.Zhang Luotuo turned his head away again, trying to imitate him, focusing on what he wanted to see.
They were all silent, as if silence was everywhere.
"What are you thinking?" Qiao De suddenly interrupted the silence and asked Zhang Luotuo, but his tone was not like a question, they already knew each other enough, and sometimes all they wanted was a conclusion—that is, let The other party said it, that's all.
Zhang Luotuo didn't even turn his head, he stared at the moon.
"I'm thinking about that spaceship." Zhang Luotuo said.
He paused, then asked in a low voice, "What about you?"
Out of the corner of his eye he caught Joad with a thoughtful expression.
"Me too," he said.
He turned his head towards Zhang Luotuo.
"What were you thinking in the cockpit today?" he asked in a low voice.
Zhang Luotuo blinked, watching the moon dance slowly from his eyes, and then disappeared: "I was thinking..."
He cleared his throat and moved uneasily: "I was thinking... what if we could fly that spaceship..."
His voice gradually lowered: "Can we not only stay here, maybe we can also leave the earth, go to the moon to see, maybe there is Mars, you said Mars, I want to see what your hometown is like. "
Joad shook his head: "That's not my hometown, it doesn't accept me." His tone was very calm, "My hometown is you."
Zhang Luotuo turned his head and looked at him for a long time, showing a very shallow smile that he didn't know.
Another long time passed.
"So... what is the universe like?" Zhang Luotuo asked Qiao De softly.
"It's big," Joad said.
He hesitated for a while, and then his voice sounded again: "There are many other planets in this universe, some have not been developed, some have been developed, some are next to the nebula, some are next to the black hole, and some of them were hit by meteorites. However, there will be nothing left in the future, some are very similar to the earth in front of me... rivers, land, those green vegetation... walking through them, you can see the Milky Way like milk..."
They turned their heads and stared at each other. In the middle, Maomao's breath and "The Moon Represents My Heart" flowed quietly.
"Then this universe is much bigger than here—than Earth, even Mars?" Zhang Luotuo murmured.
"They're just one of its planets," Joad whispered.
They were silent for a while again, looking at the sky, which was as big as an illusion, and the stars were like closed eyes.
"...do you want to see the universe?" Joad said.
Zhang Luotuo bit his lip hesitantly, and then nodded very lightly and slowly.
"If you don't want to go back to Mars, we won't go back, but I want to go to the moon with you." He said softly, "Maybe——we can also go to the universe."
They stared at each other again, and this time, neither of them took their eyes off.
The next morning, they turned around and returned to the extraction area where the spacecraft was docked next to it.
"Why did you turn around? Are you going to surrender?" Ah Mei asked uneasily.
Joad glanced at him and said bluntly: "Yes, and we will say you are the main criminal."
That night, they took up residence in an evacuation zone not far from the spacecraft.There, like all evacuation zones, it was a miniature city, with apartments, streets, shops.
"If we want to repair the spaceship, we'd better find a place to live." Zhang Luotuo said to Joad.
Zhang Luotuo found an apartment, where the door opened as soon as he kicked it, obviously he didn't pay much attention to it when he built it.The room has been covered with the dust of time, but everything in the room—the TV, the bed, the wardrobe—are wrapped up in paper.
He cleaned it up, and it felt like a place someone had just left.He found a dusty group photo on the table. It was a family of three. They smiled at him from a distant time and space, looking very kind.He also found a videotape in the TV drawer, it was a TV series, very old, he had hardly heard of it, and the picture looked very strange.He showed this to Joad, and Joad only took one look at it and understood it all at once.
"This is the last TV series filmed before humans evacuate from the earth. It is called "Even if I Only Save a Bird". It is used to appease the people who are still in the evacuation zone and have not had time to go to Mars." Judd judged, he turned towards Look left and right.
Then, after packing everything up, they tacitly walked together to the edge of the evacuation area, where the defunct spaceship lay quietly.Zhang Luotuo first checked the condition of the spaceship. In fact, it was relatively easy. It was not too difficult for Zhang Luotuo to touch the spaceship 20 years ago. Can handle well.He checked the quality of those parts, and keenly found missing screws in the parts group. He started to record with a piece of paper from the apartment and a pen that could not write very well, and recorded all missing or missing screws. damage everything.That night, he gave the paper to Joad.Then he took the cleaning tool and cleaned the spaceship from the inside to the outside, and finally the spaceship became clean, from the exterior to the chairs, console, and floor.
After the sun rose again, Joad took the note and looked around the city. He ran all over the abandoned spare parts stores and gas stations, and found 80.00% of the items in the note.
Zhang Luotuo began to repair the spacecraft.But 80.00% is far from enough, Zhang Luotuo gritted his teeth, very troubled.
He aimed at both of their ships.With the consent of Joad and A Mei, he removed some parts and installed them on the spaceship without harming the operation of the spaceship.
"You have to think about what I should do." Ah Mei yelled, "If you remove the artificial navigator, I might die."
He thought for a moment, then added: "I mean without consciousness."
Zhang Luotuo thought for a while and found a way. He found a small radio in this city. He modified it, and then put the parts of Ah Mei into it, turning the microphone into hardware for Ah Mei to speak. In this way, Amei can communicate with them through the radio, and does not have to stay in the spaceship all the time.
Ah Coal likes this very much. Every morning, Zhang Luotuo and Qiao De take him from the apartment, they walk through the entire evacuation area together, arrive at the spaceship, and start repairing the spaceship until night. Pass the evacuation zone, and then return to the apartment where they temporarily lived.
"I feel like I am the master of this evacuation zone." Ah Mei exclaimed excitedly.
Zhang Luotuo has entered a state of repair. During the day, he almost stays by the spaceship, injecting its own power little by little, while taking the parts that Joad handed over, chatting with Joad, saying a few words words.At night, he and Joad left the spaceship behind and returned to the extraction area.There was no one in the evacuation area, but it didn't become scary because of this. Zhang Luotuo and Qiao De repaired the electrical equipment. At night, they would turn on the lights of some shops on the street to keep them on, and the city became useless. So lonely, but they are holding hands and walking here, just like walking on the streets of Nanping, with the lively game square behind them.When they don't want to go outside, they go back to the apartment, read a few books, watch a group photo of the family of three, or turn on the TV and watch the TV series that comforts the people who haven't evacuated.
"Just Save a Bird".Zhang Luotuo secretly wrote down the name of this TV series.It was from a movie made by real people, and he stared at it without blinking, trying to figure out how they were different from himself.But when those people shed tears, or began to smile, he realized with clarity and bewilderment that they looked just like him.Slowly, he became sleepy, and leaned on Joad's shoulder, put his hands on Mao Mao's belly, and listened to the soliloquy from Ah Coal - "I like this city", he has changed to "evacuate "District" was renamed "City" and slowly fell asleep.
Occasionally, they would run around in the city, looking for a lot of things, such as discarded toys, tattered world maps, and a certain record whose name had been pasted out. Every time they found something interesting, a piece of camel He couldn't help smiling, and waved to Joad. Joad nodded coldly, but couldn't help but smile with him.Gradually, their territory expanded, and the entire evacuation area seemed to become a paradise for the two of them.
The reason there are two people is because Ah Coal gradually stopped being with them. Although he is the only partner in the city who can talk to him besides them, Zhang Luotuo often talks to him and jokes with him. But it has become less and less like this recently, because since Ah Coal awakened from the spaceship, became self-aware, and rescued Zhang Luotuo from Fan Liu's men, he began to undergo profound changes, although his character remained the same as before, nothing changed , but his self-thinking ability and consciousness are getting stronger and stronger, especially after he stays in the evacuation area, he stays with Zhang Luotuo and Qiao De.
He said he loved it here, the evacuation zone.
"Because it's different from Chongqing, it has a calm and serene atmosphere." He claimed that he repaired the spaceship with Zhang Luotuo and Qiao De at first, but slowly, he began to hope that Zhang Luotuo would carry himself when repairing the spaceship. In the evacuation zone, he prefers to stay alone, in a certain corner of the city, listening to the voices of the city.
"I'm a resident here." He even began to proudly call himself, playing songs for the city obsessively.
Zhang Luotuo is aware of this, but he miscalculated how much Ah Mei loves this place. He thought that Ah Mei just liked this place, but he was far from expecting that Ah Mei could love this place like his own home.He didn't notice this until one time when he and Joad repaired the spaceship again and found that the repair of the spaceship was getting better and better, and it would be able to be restarted soon, he excitedly told Ah Coal, tell him it won't be long before they're out of here, during interstellar travel.
Ah Mei fell silent the moment he heard this, he didn't even sing anymore, but fell into a long silence.
Zhang Luotuo turned his head in confusion: "What's wrong?" He was dusty and wiped the sweat off his head.
After a long time, Ah Mei finally spoke.
"Sorry, I don't think I can go with you," he said.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Luotuo was stunned and didn't even react.
"I mean I'm afraid I won't be able to star travel with you guys, I want to stay in this city," he said.
Zhang Luotuo was stunned. It took him a long time to understand. He hesitated and said, "Are you alone?"
Ah Mei said without hesitation: "I am alone."
Zhang Luotuo was stunned for a while.
"Sorry." Ah Mei said in a low voice, "But I really—" He was stunned for a long time, as if he didn't know how to describe his love for this city.
"I really like it here," he said.
"But where do you live?" Zhang Luotuo put down the radio and said to him worriedly, not even sure if he could see him through the radio.
But Ah Mei's tone was very relaxed, and he replied seriously: "It's okay, when you are leaving, please put the radio I am in in your apartment, and I will just stay there."
Zhang Luotuo sighed and reminded him in a low voice, "But you will be the only one left here—"
He doesn't have to ask Ah Mei to accompany them to the universe, but Ah Mei may be lonely-there is no one here, not even a ghost. When night comes, the electricity in the whole city is fully charged, and there are only stars and wind under the lights.
Ah Mei pondered: "This is exactly the reason why I stayed. Because this city is completely lonely, so I want to stay with it."
"And." He said jokingly, "If someone breaks into here alone, I can accompany him. You can put me on the radio, and he can hear my singing at that time, so he won't be too lonely. .”
Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhang Luotuo has no reason to bring him back.
"If you change your mind, you can always tell me." He sighed, frowning.
"We're friends, forever," he promised.
That night, Zhang Luotuo told Qiao De about this decision.Joad froze for a moment, but he wasn't surprised.
"It's his own decision," he said.
They stared at each other quietly for a while, and "Even if I Only Saved a Bird" was being played on the TV.
Zhang Luotuo let himself lean on Joad's shoulder and closed his eyes.
They went on repairing the spacecraft, slowly, slowly, but surely.
Zhang Luotuo often thinks of Zheng Zheng and Lu Xing. He doesn't know what's going on with them, but when he looks at the night sky, which looks like a star in the night sky that will last forever, he feels that they will be very good, very good, Like they're going to fix this ship someday.Joad agreed with him, and together they looked at a star so sharp and silvery they called it the North Star.
Slowly, the spaceship went from dilapidated to only missing parts in a few places.Zhang Luotuo made up his mind and took a few necessary parts from the spaceship that had been with them for a long time, and embedded them in the spaceship. He heard the spaceship make a "ding" and a flash of blue light flashed.
One night under the light of the Polaris, the spacecraft was finally repaired. When Zhang Luotuo tried to put the last part in, the cockpit of the spacecraft lit up and made a humming sound like a machine turning.
Zhang Luotuo sat in and saw the green light of the switch that was ready to operate.
He called Joad very excitedly. Zhang Luotuo couldn't restrain his joy. He grinned and smiled at Joad. He didn't get the smile from Joad in return, but got the smile in the gray eyes, like As gentle as singing.
They began to prepare for their interstellar travel, they began to run around the evacuation area, rummaging through every supermarket, spare parts store, power station, and some apartments with their doors open, trying to find anything that could be used by their interstellar travel. s things.
They began to bid farewell to Amei and the city.Zhang Luotuo came to the small radio guiltily, and took off the chip of Ah Mei in the artificial navigator. Ah Mei was used to losing consciousness instantly, and did not even make a sound when it was removed.Zhang Luotuo carried him, walked through the streets and unmanned shops, came to the apartment, carefully found another radio that the family of three kept in the storage cabinet, it was very old, but Zhang Luotuo repaired it, Make sure it's compatible with the latest technology and will last a long time.Under Qiao De's watchful eyes, Zhang Luotuo gently inserted the chip into the radio, and soon, after two seconds, Ah Coal's voice rang out happily, and he looked at his new home with satisfaction. The indicator light flashes blue.
"It's fine here." He said with satisfaction.
He chatted with them excitedly and couldn't stop.
"I am a resident of this city," he said proudly.
"We're leaving in a few days." Zhang Luotuo told him.
"Although I can't go with you, I can still bless you." He thought for a while, and said solemnly to them, "On the day you take off, I will control this tape recorder and turn the volume to the loudest for you. Play a song."
"What song is it?" Zhang Luotuo asked curiously, holding Joad's hand.
Ah Mei snorted triumphantly, and said with a smile, "A song of the century."
He didn't make it clear, Zhang Luotuo narrowed his eyes suspiciously, looked at Qiao De, and decided not to ask him any more, and let him be proud of himself.
"What do you think?" he asked Joad suspiciously as he walked out of the room.
Joad shrugged at him, who, like him, couldn't figure out what Ah Mei was thinking.But Zhang Luotuo suspected that Qiao De had colluded with Ah Coal. In fact, he knew it, but he didn't tell him.
They settled on a night that was likely to be cloudless and starry, and they decided to take off that night and send themselves into space.
When that night came, the stars really covered the entire night sky like stones in the lake.Zhang Luotuo raised his head, and he could see that the stars are like actors in a stage play, coming out one by one to call the curtain, hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands, they are like a painting with frenzy, pouring from the sky to the end of the world .
Qiao De, Zhang Luotuo and Ah Mei said goodbye for the last time, left the evacuation area, and reached the edge of the evacuation area.
They raised their heads together and looked at the sky like a diamond mine.
They watched for a while.
Zhang Luotuo took a deep breath, patted Mao Mao in his clothes bag, turned his head, and looked at Joad, then reached out and held Joad's hand.
They nodded at each other.
"Let's go." Joad said softly.
They walk towards the spaceship.
Joad opened the hatch, he opened the hatch, and they boarded the spaceship together.
Joad activated the switch, turned on the automatic mode, and let the spacecraft warm up for 5 minutes to prepare for the subsequent flight.Zhang Luotuo grabbed Joad's hand uneasily. He didn't know what they would face when they flew out and left the earth. Joad leaned over and held his hand tightly.Zhang Luotuo took a deep breath, just like countless times before, he got strength from that palm.
5 minutes later, they took off.
The spaceship flew towards the sky, because it hadn’t flown for a long time, it vibrated so violently that Mao Mao retracted into Zhang Luotuo’s arms, and Zhang Luotuo felt the weight of gravity pressing on him—but he only felt a little uncomfortable, after all, in When he hit the south wall, he experienced everything.
After a while, the flight of the spaceship gradually stabilized, the vibration disappeared, replaced by smooth and silent, if it wasn't for the black sky flowing like a waterfall outside the window, Zhang Luotuo would have thought they were still on the ground, without any move.
He leaned his head against the window, looked out the window, he saw the sky below them, the exclusion zone became very far away, like a small city of blocks, set in the vast wasteland, not worth mentioning, those distant, smells The icy white stars are all bigger than it.
Zhang Luotuo silently said goodbye to the quarantine area.
Then the moon and gray clouds covered those exclusion zones.
Then thin gray clouds covered those clouds, the moon.
Then even the clouds disappeared.
They are still flying upwards.
Out of the atmosphere.
out of the earth.
Sail into space.
Then there will be endless freedom.Zhang Luotuo thought.his
That night, they left the city and broke into this place, flying over the land full of stars, Zhang Luotuo was completely immersed in this dazzling scene, the stars, the moon, the night sky.He stared at the sky without blinking, and his eyes moved with the spaceship that Joad was driving.He watched all night, refusing to close his eyes, and he saw the scene changing in front of him, like magic.
At the dawn of the next day, Zhang Luotuo saw the real sun for the first time. It was like a silver spoon, illuminating the whole land. It seemed that there was no heat on its surface, but it was hot only when it touched it. meaning.Zhang Luotuo felt its light burn his skin like an electric current.
Qiao De is more familiar with the rays of the sun than Zhang Luotuo, he has felt it for many years, so he is not as incredible as Zhang Luotuo, but when he saw the first ray of dawn hanging on his arm, his face glowed. There was a slight blush.
The bright sunlight allowed them to look down at the land from above. Zhang Luotuo found that the land was flat, vast and uninhabited, like a piece of bare wasteland—the yellow land on the edge of Chongqing City.But there is still a difference. The reason why Zhang Luotuo calls this place Xinhuangdi is because it has stars at night, and the sun rises on time during the day, illuminating the entire horizon.
He had never seen this in Chongqing, and the heavy gray fog enveloped everything.
But now, maybe Chongqing can also be shrouded in the sun again.he thought happily.But he didn't know the specific situation in Chongqing. Shortly after entering the new wasteland and coming out of the unnamed tunnel, the network and signal lost contact again. Zheng Zheng and his communication were cut off. He couldn't get in touch again. He tried many times, but the result was the same. This may be because they left Chongqing.
The last time he spoke with Zheng Zheng, Zheng Zheng told him not to wait for them anymore.
"We're fine," she said happily, her voice still crying from seeing the unthinkable.
"But—" Zhang Luotuo said worriedly.
"We will go to the south wall in a few days and leave Chongqing." Zheng Zheng interrupted him, her voice was relaxed and firm.
"But what if the south wall is closed?" Zhang Luotuo said.
Zheng Zheng seemed to shrug her shoulders over there, and there was a strong noise around her, which seemed to be the exclamation of other people. "What's that?" Zhang Luotuo heard the group say.Then a man answered him. "Polaris, I've only seen it in books."
"Don't worry, it can't be closed so quickly. And, even if it is closed so quickly, we already know how to crack it." She said.
"People, the most important thing is people, do you understand the camel—" Zheng Zheng said to him mysteriously, and the signal on her side gradually weakened again.
"Now, all people have seen the stars, and they can never forget, just like us."
Those were her last words, resonant.
So they had to continue to drive the spaceship forward, every day and every night.Zhang Luotuo remained ecstatically excited, a kind of happiness like a traveler filled his chest, which he had never experienced in many years before, he greedily breathed the dry but fresh air, watching the light shining on the earth Even though he had thought about it thousands of times in his heart, he still couldn't predict it—it turns out that the light of the sun is like this, even if all the holographic images of the city are superimposed to form a new image, it is absolutely incomparable it.The sun seems to be forever.
Compared with him, Joad is much calmer, although he occasionally has a forgetful smile on his mouth, but that smile is often produced by Zhang Luotuo.He looked at him, and smiled, and smiled when he looked at the sun, and the rest of the time, he was just as usual, poring over, trying to find the root of anything, and worrying about something.
After half a day of driving, when the sun rose high in the sky, the scene on the land was clear enough. Zhang Luotuo leaned against the window and found that every time he flew over the area, there would always be many garrisoned buildings in the empty yellow land. The sloppy buildings are next to each other, forming many roads, like a city, but it is smaller, a miniature city without any people living in it.
"This is the part of the earth other than Chongqing." Joad looked at those scenes and told Zhang Luotuo what he had learned at the Mars base, the history of those old worlds.But these places were completely forgotten after the end of the earth.When the tide gradually recedes and the doomsday goes back to the era of imitation humans, this place is no longer known, not to mention that Mars deliberately separates this place from Chongqing.Judging from the topography, this is probably a plain area, which used to be part of a country, but now, no one belongs here, because there is no one there.
"In the past—did the cities of the old world grow like this?" Zhang Luotuo asked curiously.
Joad shook his head, looked at the land, and replied softly: "I think this is an evacuation zone."
The evacuation area, Qiao De told Zhang Luotuo.Before the doomsday, people were scrambling to evacuate from the earth and fly to Mars, but there were too many people on the earth, and the spaceships were limited, so at that time, various countries issued orders to build evacuation areas in various regions. The names of the evacuation areas came from No. Named Infinity, before evacuating Earth and boarding a spaceship, people temporarily live in evacuation zones, which are scattered throughout the world.
Qiao De and Zhang Luotuo parked the spaceship at the end of the evacuation area and got off the spaceship.Joad took Zhang Camel and found a huge sign built on the ground: Evacuation Zone No. 102452.Decades ago, when there were still many people here waiting to leave, it had been lit to show them the way to Mars, but now, because of the lack of electricity, it has gone out.
They wandered around the city for a while, but not for long.Zhang Luotuo wandered casually in this miniature city, which can be completed in half an hour. He walked into supermarkets, streets or clothing stores, and found that everything that the city has is here, but here is more miniature, only Chongqing As big as one percent of the city, and because there is no one in the city, it is too empty, showing the appearance of being abandoned.There are even a lot of food, water and other things in the supermarket that are decades out of date, but they are also abandoned, thrown on the earth, on this city.
Zhang Luotuo remembered what Qiao De said. "Humans throw away a lot when they leave." It's true.He thought, including this evacuation zone, which was built to be abandoned.
They boarded their spaceship again at [-]:[-] p.m., and hurriedly left the evacuation zone—although they left Chongqing, they were afraid that Mars would find out that they had left, and sent troops to chase after them.
Joad took many of the batteries in the city, and although the batteries sold in the city's shops have been dusted after decades, they are still well preserved and can even be used as power fuel for spaceships.
They left the city and continued to fly forward. As for what they would do next and where they were going, Zhang Luotuo had no idea for the time being. The feeling of being free was like drinking alcohol, and he couldn't think of anything in the dizzy happiness. thing, they just go, go forward.Fortunately, the two of them are not lonely and boring. Apart from the unimaginable scenery and the diamond-like stars in the night sky, there are other partners to accompany them.Amei would always play the songs in its inventory and force them to sing together, he fell in love with singing, but no one compromised, so Amei had to sing with Mao Mao - this robot pet is walking through the south wall After that, they slept for five days and five nights. On the sixth day after they arrived in Xinhuangdi, they woke up from their seats and gently climbed onto Zhang Camel's shoulders.
"Chirp." It ushered in the dawn with a tweet.
They continue to fly in the new wasteland, and they hardly need to worry about the power of the spacecraft, because there are many evacuation areas on land that can provide them with power. In 10 minutes they'll find an evacuation zone formed by people.
They flew day and night for a week, but they still didn't see the pursuers that Mars might send behind them, so they gradually let go of their hearts. At night, they began to choose to dock in a hidden place in a certain evacuation area. Turn on the heating in the car, get a good night's sleep, and continue to fly forward the next day refreshed.
Slowly, Zhang Luotuo began to get used to this kind of drifting life, flying forward every day, constantly flying forward, without a destination, just like this.
"Like gypsies." He heard Joad say, and he told him that gypsies are a wandering race, and Zhang Luotuo had never heard of such a race before, and he listened with relish to Joad's recounting of the mystery national story.
Zhang Luotuo felt very happy. He saw many different scenes from the night scenes in Chongqing: colorful sky, sun, moon and stars, those unusual natural scenes, which he had never seen before, or even imagined. He had to see them before, but now, they appeared in front of him, kissing his forehead like an acquaintance, and he could see them when he looked up.He felt a sense of fullness haunting him day and night—joy, happiness, a strange thirst for knowledge filled by these bewildering vistas.When he blinked, he saw the white sandy beach, the gentle birds, and all these overlapped with his eyes, merged together, became one.
It turns out that this is the world.he thinks.In the past, he always wanted to travel to Chongqing after retirement, but now, he never imagined that a world countless times bigger than Chongqing was in front of him, and he shuttled through it like an endless world.
And, more importantly, Zhang Luotuo felt that he was free, completely free, just like a gypsy.Occasionally, Zhang Luotuo will look up to the sky, looking at the sun or stars in the sky.And Joad would squint and look up to the sky with him.Then they looked at each other and smiled.
But at the same time, Zhang Luotuo felt that in this sense of satisfaction, he had a strange sense of longing. The sense of longing was hidden under the sense of satisfaction, and it was mixed in his heart a long time ago, but at that time, because of Chongqing, those things were hidden. , and now, as he looked at the stars in the sky, the endless land, the colored, black wind blowing, the longing crept out of its shell, and he could hear it and see it.Especially when he was with Joad, he felt that desire was even more faltering.
And, he knew, when he looked at Joad, he saw that there was also a slight sense of longing hidden in Joad's gray eyes, brightened by the stars of this sky.
Zhang Luotuo felt that he knew what Joad was thinking, and Joad also knew what he was thinking, and they both knew what the other was thinking.
It turns out that the outside of Chongqing looks like this, to be precise, it is the earth——
What about the universe?What the universe is like.
But they didn't say it.
They continued to fly through numerous evacuation zones and continued to enjoy their freedom.
One afternoon, as usual, they drove the spacecraft through numerous evacuation areas, looking out at the distant scenery.When they passed through the edge of an evacuation area, Zhang Luotuo found that there seemed to be a huge thing docked on the ground. He curiously asked Joad to slow down. He had never seen such a huge thing in the previous evacuation area.
Joad slowed down, let the spaceship stop over the thing, and then slowly descended, and found that it was a spaceship. The spaceship looked very similar to the spaceship they drove, but it was about four times the size of their spaceship , and it's dirty, all kinds of stains all over the wings, it's obviously been out of service for a long time.
They walked over, Zhang Luotuo hugged Maomao, and opened the cockpit of the spaceship. The inside was full of long-dried sand and dust, and Maomao sneezed involuntarily.
"This is a spaceship, type Z-215. It can travel in the universe, but it is a very backward technology. It is easy to maneuver. The technology is similar to that of spaceships on the earth, and it is safe, but the speed is slow." Joad stood Behind them, judged, he recalled every bit of what he had learned on Mars, "when it was just being made and used by people, mainly to rescue, to transport Earth people from Earth to Mars."
Zhang Luotuo tried to start the spacecraft, but there was no response after pressing it a few times. It was obviously damaged.
"I guess it was accidentally broken when transporting people from the extraction area to Mars, so it was left here." Joad said.
He circled around the spaceship, and sure enough, he found a notice stuck on the tail of the spaceship.
"This spaceship is broken and cannot be transported." It was written in Chinese.
Zhang Luotuo touched the chair covered with dry sand, lost in thought.
He raised his head, glanced at Joad, and found that Joad was also looking at him.
"Chirp." Maomao yelled at them, reminding them of its existence. It looked at them curiously, not knowing why they were distracted.
"Let's go?" Joad came back to his senses, asked Zhang Luotuo, and motioned to him.
Zhang Luotuo got up slowly and replied, "Let's go."
That night, they parked the spaceship at the edge of an evacuation area, sat in their own spaceship and listened to music, and Ah Mei played "The Moon Represents My Heart" for them.Zhang Luotuo stared at the moon above him. He couldn't get enough of it. It looked like a strange new creature.
He turned his head, and Joad's profile was illuminated by the moonlight. He looked very calm, and Mao Mao was sleeping in his arms, his belly rising and falling.Zhang Luotuo turned his head away again, trying to imitate him, focusing on what he wanted to see.
They were all silent, as if silence was everywhere.
"What are you thinking?" Qiao De suddenly interrupted the silence and asked Zhang Luotuo, but his tone was not like a question, they already knew each other enough, and sometimes all they wanted was a conclusion—that is, let The other party said it, that's all.
Zhang Luotuo didn't even turn his head, he stared at the moon.
"I'm thinking about that spaceship." Zhang Luotuo said.
He paused, then asked in a low voice, "What about you?"
Out of the corner of his eye he caught Joad with a thoughtful expression.
"Me too," he said.
He turned his head towards Zhang Luotuo.
"What were you thinking in the cockpit today?" he asked in a low voice.
Zhang Luotuo blinked, watching the moon dance slowly from his eyes, and then disappeared: "I was thinking..."
He cleared his throat and moved uneasily: "I was thinking... what if we could fly that spaceship..."
His voice gradually lowered: "Can we not only stay here, maybe we can also leave the earth, go to the moon to see, maybe there is Mars, you said Mars, I want to see what your hometown is like. "
Joad shook his head: "That's not my hometown, it doesn't accept me." His tone was very calm, "My hometown is you."
Zhang Luotuo turned his head and looked at him for a long time, showing a very shallow smile that he didn't know.
Another long time passed.
"So... what is the universe like?" Zhang Luotuo asked Qiao De softly.
"It's big," Joad said.
He hesitated for a while, and then his voice sounded again: "There are many other planets in this universe, some have not been developed, some have been developed, some are next to the nebula, some are next to the black hole, and some of them were hit by meteorites. However, there will be nothing left in the future, some are very similar to the earth in front of me... rivers, land, those green vegetation... walking through them, you can see the Milky Way like milk..."
They turned their heads and stared at each other. In the middle, Maomao's breath and "The Moon Represents My Heart" flowed quietly.
"Then this universe is much bigger than here—than Earth, even Mars?" Zhang Luotuo murmured.
"They're just one of its planets," Joad whispered.
They were silent for a while again, looking at the sky, which was as big as an illusion, and the stars were like closed eyes.
"...do you want to see the universe?" Joad said.
Zhang Luotuo bit his lip hesitantly, and then nodded very lightly and slowly.
"If you don't want to go back to Mars, we won't go back, but I want to go to the moon with you." He said softly, "Maybe——we can also go to the universe."
They stared at each other again, and this time, neither of them took their eyes off.
The next morning, they turned around and returned to the extraction area where the spacecraft was docked next to it.
"Why did you turn around? Are you going to surrender?" Ah Mei asked uneasily.
Joad glanced at him and said bluntly: "Yes, and we will say you are the main criminal."
That night, they took up residence in an evacuation zone not far from the spacecraft.There, like all evacuation zones, it was a miniature city, with apartments, streets, shops.
"If we want to repair the spaceship, we'd better find a place to live." Zhang Luotuo said to Joad.
Zhang Luotuo found an apartment, where the door opened as soon as he kicked it, obviously he didn't pay much attention to it when he built it.The room has been covered with the dust of time, but everything in the room—the TV, the bed, the wardrobe—are wrapped up in paper.
He cleaned it up, and it felt like a place someone had just left.He found a dusty group photo on the table. It was a family of three. They smiled at him from a distant time and space, looking very kind.He also found a videotape in the TV drawer, it was a TV series, very old, he had hardly heard of it, and the picture looked very strange.He showed this to Joad, and Joad only took one look at it and understood it all at once.
"This is the last TV series filmed before humans evacuate from the earth. It is called "Even if I Only Save a Bird". It is used to appease the people who are still in the evacuation zone and have not had time to go to Mars." Judd judged, he turned towards Look left and right.
Then, after packing everything up, they tacitly walked together to the edge of the evacuation area, where the defunct spaceship lay quietly.Zhang Luotuo first checked the condition of the spaceship. In fact, it was relatively easy. It was not too difficult for Zhang Luotuo to touch the spaceship 20 years ago. Can handle well.He checked the quality of those parts, and keenly found missing screws in the parts group. He started to record with a piece of paper from the apartment and a pen that could not write very well, and recorded all missing or missing screws. damage everything.That night, he gave the paper to Joad.Then he took the cleaning tool and cleaned the spaceship from the inside to the outside, and finally the spaceship became clean, from the exterior to the chairs, console, and floor.
After the sun rose again, Joad took the note and looked around the city. He ran all over the abandoned spare parts stores and gas stations, and found 80.00% of the items in the note.
Zhang Luotuo began to repair the spacecraft.But 80.00% is far from enough, Zhang Luotuo gritted his teeth, very troubled.
He aimed at both of their ships.With the consent of Joad and A Mei, he removed some parts and installed them on the spaceship without harming the operation of the spaceship.
"You have to think about what I should do." Ah Mei yelled, "If you remove the artificial navigator, I might die."
He thought for a moment, then added: "I mean without consciousness."
Zhang Luotuo thought for a while and found a way. He found a small radio in this city. He modified it, and then put the parts of Ah Mei into it, turning the microphone into hardware for Ah Mei to speak. In this way, Amei can communicate with them through the radio, and does not have to stay in the spaceship all the time.
Ah Coal likes this very much. Every morning, Zhang Luotuo and Qiao De take him from the apartment, they walk through the entire evacuation area together, arrive at the spaceship, and start repairing the spaceship until night. Pass the evacuation zone, and then return to the apartment where they temporarily lived.
"I feel like I am the master of this evacuation zone." Ah Mei exclaimed excitedly.
Zhang Luotuo has entered a state of repair. During the day, he almost stays by the spaceship, injecting its own power little by little, while taking the parts that Joad handed over, chatting with Joad, saying a few words words.At night, he and Joad left the spaceship behind and returned to the extraction area.There was no one in the evacuation area, but it didn't become scary because of this. Zhang Luotuo and Qiao De repaired the electrical equipment. At night, they would turn on the lights of some shops on the street to keep them on, and the city became useless. So lonely, but they are holding hands and walking here, just like walking on the streets of Nanping, with the lively game square behind them.When they don't want to go outside, they go back to the apartment, read a few books, watch a group photo of the family of three, or turn on the TV and watch the TV series that comforts the people who haven't evacuated.
"Just Save a Bird".Zhang Luotuo secretly wrote down the name of this TV series.It was from a movie made by real people, and he stared at it without blinking, trying to figure out how they were different from himself.But when those people shed tears, or began to smile, he realized with clarity and bewilderment that they looked just like him.Slowly, he became sleepy, and leaned on Joad's shoulder, put his hands on Mao Mao's belly, and listened to the soliloquy from Ah Coal - "I like this city", he has changed to "evacuate "District" was renamed "City" and slowly fell asleep.
Occasionally, they would run around in the city, looking for a lot of things, such as discarded toys, tattered world maps, and a certain record whose name had been pasted out. Every time they found something interesting, a piece of camel He couldn't help smiling, and waved to Joad. Joad nodded coldly, but couldn't help but smile with him.Gradually, their territory expanded, and the entire evacuation area seemed to become a paradise for the two of them.
The reason there are two people is because Ah Coal gradually stopped being with them. Although he is the only partner in the city who can talk to him besides them, Zhang Luotuo often talks to him and jokes with him. But it has become less and less like this recently, because since Ah Coal awakened from the spaceship, became self-aware, and rescued Zhang Luotuo from Fan Liu's men, he began to undergo profound changes, although his character remained the same as before, nothing changed , but his self-thinking ability and consciousness are getting stronger and stronger, especially after he stays in the evacuation area, he stays with Zhang Luotuo and Qiao De.
He said he loved it here, the evacuation zone.
"Because it's different from Chongqing, it has a calm and serene atmosphere." He claimed that he repaired the spaceship with Zhang Luotuo and Qiao De at first, but slowly, he began to hope that Zhang Luotuo would carry himself when repairing the spaceship. In the evacuation zone, he prefers to stay alone, in a certain corner of the city, listening to the voices of the city.
"I'm a resident here." He even began to proudly call himself, playing songs for the city obsessively.
Zhang Luotuo is aware of this, but he miscalculated how much Ah Mei loves this place. He thought that Ah Mei just liked this place, but he was far from expecting that Ah Mei could love this place like his own home.He didn't notice this until one time when he and Joad repaired the spaceship again and found that the repair of the spaceship was getting better and better, and it would be able to be restarted soon, he excitedly told Ah Coal, tell him it won't be long before they're out of here, during interstellar travel.
Ah Mei fell silent the moment he heard this, he didn't even sing anymore, but fell into a long silence.
Zhang Luotuo turned his head in confusion: "What's wrong?" He was dusty and wiped the sweat off his head.
After a long time, Ah Mei finally spoke.
"Sorry, I don't think I can go with you," he said.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Luotuo was stunned and didn't even react.
"I mean I'm afraid I won't be able to star travel with you guys, I want to stay in this city," he said.
Zhang Luotuo was stunned. It took him a long time to understand. He hesitated and said, "Are you alone?"
Ah Mei said without hesitation: "I am alone."
Zhang Luotuo was stunned for a while.
"Sorry." Ah Mei said in a low voice, "But I really—" He was stunned for a long time, as if he didn't know how to describe his love for this city.
"I really like it here," he said.
"But where do you live?" Zhang Luotuo put down the radio and said to him worriedly, not even sure if he could see him through the radio.
But Ah Mei's tone was very relaxed, and he replied seriously: "It's okay, when you are leaving, please put the radio I am in in your apartment, and I will just stay there."
Zhang Luotuo sighed and reminded him in a low voice, "But you will be the only one left here—"
He doesn't have to ask Ah Mei to accompany them to the universe, but Ah Mei may be lonely-there is no one here, not even a ghost. When night comes, the electricity in the whole city is fully charged, and there are only stars and wind under the lights.
Ah Mei pondered: "This is exactly the reason why I stayed. Because this city is completely lonely, so I want to stay with it."
"And." He said jokingly, "If someone breaks into here alone, I can accompany him. You can put me on the radio, and he can hear my singing at that time, so he won't be too lonely. .”
Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhang Luotuo has no reason to bring him back.
"If you change your mind, you can always tell me." He sighed, frowning.
"We're friends, forever," he promised.
That night, Zhang Luotuo told Qiao De about this decision.Joad froze for a moment, but he wasn't surprised.
"It's his own decision," he said.
They stared at each other quietly for a while, and "Even if I Only Saved a Bird" was being played on the TV.
Zhang Luotuo let himself lean on Joad's shoulder and closed his eyes.
They went on repairing the spacecraft, slowly, slowly, but surely.
Zhang Luotuo often thinks of Zheng Zheng and Lu Xing. He doesn't know what's going on with them, but when he looks at the night sky, which looks like a star in the night sky that will last forever, he feels that they will be very good, very good, Like they're going to fix this ship someday.Joad agreed with him, and together they looked at a star so sharp and silvery they called it the North Star.
Slowly, the spaceship went from dilapidated to only missing parts in a few places.Zhang Luotuo made up his mind and took a few necessary parts from the spaceship that had been with them for a long time, and embedded them in the spaceship. He heard the spaceship make a "ding" and a flash of blue light flashed.
One night under the light of the Polaris, the spacecraft was finally repaired. When Zhang Luotuo tried to put the last part in, the cockpit of the spacecraft lit up and made a humming sound like a machine turning.
Zhang Luotuo sat in and saw the green light of the switch that was ready to operate.
He called Joad very excitedly. Zhang Luotuo couldn't restrain his joy. He grinned and smiled at Joad. He didn't get the smile from Joad in return, but got the smile in the gray eyes, like As gentle as singing.
They began to prepare for their interstellar travel, they began to run around the evacuation area, rummaging through every supermarket, spare parts store, power station, and some apartments with their doors open, trying to find anything that could be used by their interstellar travel. s things.
They began to bid farewell to Amei and the city.Zhang Luotuo came to the small radio guiltily, and took off the chip of Ah Mei in the artificial navigator. Ah Mei was used to losing consciousness instantly, and did not even make a sound when it was removed.Zhang Luotuo carried him, walked through the streets and unmanned shops, came to the apartment, carefully found another radio that the family of three kept in the storage cabinet, it was very old, but Zhang Luotuo repaired it, Make sure it's compatible with the latest technology and will last a long time.Under Qiao De's watchful eyes, Zhang Luotuo gently inserted the chip into the radio, and soon, after two seconds, Ah Coal's voice rang out happily, and he looked at his new home with satisfaction. The indicator light flashes blue.
"It's fine here." He said with satisfaction.
He chatted with them excitedly and couldn't stop.
"I am a resident of this city," he said proudly.
"We're leaving in a few days." Zhang Luotuo told him.
"Although I can't go with you, I can still bless you." He thought for a while, and said solemnly to them, "On the day you take off, I will control this tape recorder and turn the volume to the loudest for you. Play a song."
"What song is it?" Zhang Luotuo asked curiously, holding Joad's hand.
Ah Mei snorted triumphantly, and said with a smile, "A song of the century."
He didn't make it clear, Zhang Luotuo narrowed his eyes suspiciously, looked at Qiao De, and decided not to ask him any more, and let him be proud of himself.
"What do you think?" he asked Joad suspiciously as he walked out of the room.
Joad shrugged at him, who, like him, couldn't figure out what Ah Mei was thinking.But Zhang Luotuo suspected that Qiao De had colluded with Ah Coal. In fact, he knew it, but he didn't tell him.
They settled on a night that was likely to be cloudless and starry, and they decided to take off that night and send themselves into space.
When that night came, the stars really covered the entire night sky like stones in the lake.Zhang Luotuo raised his head, and he could see that the stars are like actors in a stage play, coming out one by one to call the curtain, hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands, they are like a painting with frenzy, pouring from the sky to the end of the world .
Qiao De, Zhang Luotuo and Ah Mei said goodbye for the last time, left the evacuation area, and reached the edge of the evacuation area.
They raised their heads together and looked at the sky like a diamond mine.
They watched for a while.
Zhang Luotuo took a deep breath, patted Mao Mao in his clothes bag, turned his head, and looked at Joad, then reached out and held Joad's hand.
They nodded at each other.
"Let's go." Joad said softly.
They walk towards the spaceship.
Joad opened the hatch, he opened the hatch, and they boarded the spaceship together.
Joad activated the switch, turned on the automatic mode, and let the spacecraft warm up for 5 minutes to prepare for the subsequent flight.Zhang Luotuo grabbed Joad's hand uneasily. He didn't know what they would face when they flew out and left the earth. Joad leaned over and held his hand tightly.Zhang Luotuo took a deep breath, just like countless times before, he got strength from that palm.
5 minutes later, they took off.
The spaceship flew towards the sky, because it hadn’t flown for a long time, it vibrated so violently that Mao Mao retracted into Zhang Luotuo’s arms, and Zhang Luotuo felt the weight of gravity pressing on him—but he only felt a little uncomfortable, after all, in When he hit the south wall, he experienced everything.
After a while, the flight of the spaceship gradually stabilized, the vibration disappeared, replaced by smooth and silent, if it wasn't for the black sky flowing like a waterfall outside the window, Zhang Luotuo would have thought they were still on the ground, without any move.
He leaned his head against the window, looked out the window, he saw the sky below them, the exclusion zone became very far away, like a small city of blocks, set in the vast wasteland, not worth mentioning, those distant, smells The icy white stars are all bigger than it.
Zhang Luotuo silently said goodbye to the quarantine area.
Then the moon and gray clouds covered those exclusion zones.
Then thin gray clouds covered those clouds, the moon.
Then even the clouds disappeared.
They are still flying upwards.
Out of the atmosphere.
out of the earth.
Sail into space.
Then there will be endless freedom.Zhang Luotuo thought.his
