Boundary Shattered [Interstellar]

Tang Chu squeezed Lian Ting's fingertips, and raised his voice to ask:

"Are they all there?"

Monley and Jialin responded immediately.

Jialin said: "This is the place. We each brought in a few parts and assembled the detector after we came in. Irus and I wanted to find out what the boundary of this gathering was, so we entered here. We didn't expect to detect Yi issued a reminder—”

After finishing speaking, she handed the detector to Lian Ting, and Lian Ting took it, and held the device very close to see the glowing screen clearly:

[A large ship is detected underground.A large number of ships were detected underground. ]

Tang Chu frowned and said, "Is there something wrong with the instrument, or why is there no depth of burial?"

"This may be because—" Lian Ting said.Tang Chu touched the side, and squatted down along Lian Ting's arm.

Lian Ting clung to Tang Chu's hand, leading him to touch the metal under a shallow layer of soil. "Because it's right under your feet."

He quickly contacted other people and assembled tools with the parts they carried to dig out the spaceship underground.Lian Ting used vines to shield this large area based on his feeling to prevent others from entering here.

It took half a day for more than 80 people to dig out the prototype of the flying boat.Lian Ting closed his eyes and looked at the appearance of the underground flying boat with his mental strength. He was surprised to find that the flying boat had actually lost its body, and what was left was only an empty skeleton filled with mud.

Tang Chu jumped into the pit where the flying boat was dug, stroked it, and said:

"continue."

I don't know how long it took to dig until Tang Chu called to stop.

"Lian Ting, I found this." Tang Chu walked up to Lian Ting, wiped off the dirt on the things in his hand with the cloak, and handed it to Lian Ting.

Lian Ting took it and got a square box made of stone.Then I heard Tang Chu say:

"Before I noticed something inside..." Tang Chu frowned, because what he detected was energy similar to the crystal nucleus in the brain of a supernatural person, but there is no crystal nucleus in the body of a supernatural person now. For this kind of thing, the energy that originally belonged to the crystal nucleus is distributed throughout the body to provide energy for the supernatural being.

Following this induction, he found this heavy stone box, but the thing that caused his induction was not inside the box.

Lian Ting put away the box, turned around and said, "Go back first."

The crowd dispersed and finally gathered at another rally boundary.This is an unoccupied house, Lian Ting sat down on the floor, and took out the box Tang Chu gave him.

This seems to be just an ordinary stone box, with the length of an adult's forearm, and the top is unpretentious.The box was not locked, and the gap in the box was sealed by mud. Lian Ting used a dagger to clean up the mud in the gap and lifted the lid.

The heavy cover was opened, revealing a neatly folded piece of cloth and a silver plaque inside.

Lian Ting brushed off the dirt on the cloth, held it in his hands, and slowly unfolded it.

Unexpectedly, it was full of words.On both sides of the fabric, it can be seen that the handwriting was written by two people.

Tang Chu leaned over curiously, and read the words on the first page:

"I woke up from the freezer. The previous teammate was old. I was the only one left."

"Everything in the freezer is normal, and they are still asleep. I hope that what they see when they open their eyes is not the same darkness as I saw, but a bright new planet."

"There is nothing outside. I found the information left by my former teammates, and I found an image, which is a beautiful and brilliant meteorite in the dark universe."

"The ark should be running normally, but I feel that it just stops in place. There is no other scenery outside the window except the darkness. I seem to be surrounded by graves."

"Our ark is still drifting. I don't remember how long it has been, but I can vaguely see the half-grey hair."

"Darkness, darkness, or darkness. When will I be able to see the light of other planets?"

"There is only a little energy left in the ark. I don't know if we can persist until we find a new planet. Our ark carries all the power of the Tia star. Could it be that the Tia star sent us away, or can we only take humans with us?" Is everything buried in the depths of the universe? If, if I must perish, then I would rather not come out, I will be buried on my mother Tia planet, at least perish in her arms."

The final signature is - "Fashion".

"It's a pity." Lian Ting sighed, "Finally, Ark found a new star field, a new planet, just before the energy was exhausted. But Mr. Feng Xing couldn't make it."

Tang Chu shook the cloth in his hands, mockingly said: "What a pity, he can't see hope, maybe it's just retribution. A group of powerful high-level executives squeezed out all the energy from the home planet and fled, abandoning the dilapidated home star Looking for new planets...you should think about the possibility of only seeing darkness for a lifetime."

Lian Ting read the words on the cloth again, and analyzed:

"This should be the Fengxing ancestor who led the human survivors to the Backlight Starfield thousands of years ago. They found a new planet, but they don't know why the spaceship was left here and what it has to do with this Wind City.—— There is writing on the back."

"Wait." Tang Chu suddenly pressed Lian Ting's hand.He winked at Lian Ting, "Don't reveal the answer yet, I'll ask someone first."

Lian Ting was a little puzzled, watching Tang Chu fiddle with and assembled a simple communicator, and dialed it out.

"Who?" A lazy voice came from the opposite side.

Tang Chu said: "Old man, it's me. Let me ask you, how did Fengshi come about?"

Eagle smacked his head and smacked his lips, "I don't know."

Tang Chu snorted coldly, "Don't talk nonsense, you just know. When you let the camera follow me and Lianting into Fengshi, and took pictures of the night scene here, it was to prove something. What answer did you get, tell me chant?"

Eagle Head hummed dissatisfiedly over there, and spoke under the threat of Tang Chu:

"I think you're asking me this because you've already been in touch, so it's okay to tell you. In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of Wind City, it replaced the destroyed ark as a new place of human hope. At first, this place It was opened up as an extraterritorial place that does not exist in the real three-dimensional world. It wants to get rid of all the ugliness and desires of human nature and build the best life....It is a pity that they were unable to do so, and they failed. This place disappeared without being known to the public. After being discovered unexpectedly, it became a lawless place for those with desires."

Tang Chu asked: "What is the place of hope for human beings? The original reason for its existence here, you mean, is good intentions?"

"Who doesn't have an ideal utopia? After wandering through endless time, I finally saw a glimmer of light, and found this brand new star field, the birthplace of new life, and the beginning of everything. You don't allow people to be a little romantic Fantasizing? But we all know that a completely beautiful world is definitely impossible to exist. Even if we have it at the beginning, it will only become darker and darker in the torrent of time, and eventually it will become the current appearance of Fengshi... Sigh .”

"What else?" Tang Chu continued to ask, "How was it opened up, and how will it be closed?"

"Close?" Eagle Head suddenly heard this word, smacking, "...Yeah, unless it is closed. Tsk, don't ask me, I'm not the people who first sat on the ark, and I'm not you ancestors..."

Tang Chu was so angry that he immediately hung up the communication.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Lian Ting:

"Look behind."

The latter side is also described in the form of a diary.The first line does not form a word, as if a newborn baby struggles to pick up the pen, and childishly leaves the first trace.

Under this immature and irregular line, there are still immature notes:

"I see the light, it's outside."

"It's still dark, but I've seen the light, so I look forward to it coming again. I don't know why I have to stay in this cold guy, but I think it may be waiting for the light to come on."

"It's still black outside. I saw more things in the book left by my first friend. What color is there besides black?"

"Colors should exist, they are there. You can see them as long as you break through the darkness. I can't see other colors outside, it must be because there is no light. As long as there is light, there are all colors."

It is as if a baby has grown from infancy to adulthood, and the handwriting is also growing straight and mature from green onions.

"Moyo is because the Ark's energy is insufficient, and they all wake up from the freeze one after another. Hey, they don't understand anything. I want to teach them. Fortunately, there are videos left by my friends before. Everyone wakes up like this understand the world."

"I said that the world is such a flying boat, and the outside is black nothingness. But Ye Baobao told me no at the first sentence. I asked him why not, and he hasn't learned how to answer me in words yet."

"Baby Ye has an extraordinary ability, my God, the ability to open up a new space, is he the savior mentioned in the story in the book?"

"The ark's energy is about to run out, what will happen to us then? Will we die? What is death, just like the previous friends, one fell down and the other woke up to take over?"

"Everyone wakes up from the freezer, but there seems to be little food in the ark."

"Another little guy didn't move. He didn't speak or open his eyes. His body became cold, as if he was in a freezer. Did he fall asleep again? When will he wake up again? "

"We saw light! It was really light! There seemed to be many beautiful stars around, which were completely different from the darkness. Is this the 'color'? Our ark brought us here, and he seemed to be aiming for a purpose go ahead."

"It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. It's colorful and bright. It's getting closer and closer to the ark. It seems like we've all spent endless hours on the ark just to Waiting for this moment to come."

That's the end of the writing on it.

Lian Ting said: "It's here, it should be that they finally found the Imperial Capital Star."

Tang Chu frowned, with a puzzled expression on his face: "What's the meaning of this? Why are there...children in the ark? Tsk, Gutiya's high-level executives boarded the airship, left their home planet, and lived normally on the airship reproduced?"

He picked up the heavy stone box and looked it up and down, shaking the cloth, "Are these the only things? It tells us the story, so what if we know it."

"Wait a minute." Lian Ting leaned over suddenly, and tapped the box that Tang Chu was holding with his fingers, and the box made a dull sound.

Lian Ting took the box and fiddled with it, and everyone realized that after removing the thin layer of stone slabs inside, there was still a layer of space underneath.

It was an old tape-like thing that seemed to fall apart at the slightest touch.

What Lian Ting was concerned about was not the tapes in it, but the slate that was taken out.Blow away the dust on it, and the engraved handwriting will appear.

As if in the tone of an old man, I wrote these words wearily:

[For posterity who may find it:

I named this place "White Night".

This is the last thing I leave to this brand new world, in my last hours, all I have left is my strength.My ability is called "Hope" by everyone, but the name Hope is not something people can afford.I can only keep it here, it may become the beautiful world that we dreamed of from the very beginning when we saw this beautiful star field, or it may become the same as time develops.

Because nothing stays the same, I just leave it.

I dismantled the metal body of the ark into a sign for entry, engraved with the last stroke of the first child to wake.I think that's hope, not my so-called gifted ability to create the world.

Hope does not lie in the gift of God, but in the human being itself.

A new era for mankind is about to begin.

Maybe one day, it won't need to exist here anymore.Then please find the control room of the Ark. I have left behind the key to close it—my supernatural core.

All things are constantly in a state of being and passing away.Don't miss it, don't hate it.

Let them develop freely.

Because what you want or don't want to see will always exist where people can't see it.

--night. ]

After everyone read these words, Tang Chu said:

"This is... the way to close this place?"

Lian Ting nodded hesitantly.

Tang Chu scratched his head: "...Tomorrow the White Night Gathering will end, shall we..."

Lin Yi said: "What do you want? According to the above, close this place? But what about those people? Just let them go?"

Tang Chu asked back: "Otherwise, what do you think?"

Lin Yi choked and didn't speak.

Tang Chu said: "Killed all of them? Captured?"

He pointed to the slate covered with handwriting, "Although I don't think that a group of Gutia high-ranking officials who abandoned their home planet and fled to a new planet to continue to dominate, what is there for such human beings to be proud of? Yes. But it is undeniable that there is some truth in these words. The things you don’t want to see will always exist in places you can’t see, and they don’t just exist here. It’s like arresting them all. It may be possible, but it is meaningless. It is better to pull out these people who have been trapped in the depths of the muddy swamp and let them see the light of day. After all... the filth will naturally dissolve."

Lian Ting took Tang Chu's hand and intertwined his fingers.

Lin Yi on the opposite side said "Yo", "I can't see that you can still use these great principles, it sounds like that."

Tang Chu's face darkened immediately.

But just like what he said just now, it's still a suitable place to let this dark and filthy place to sleep underground.

The light above is scattered, and those of them who hide in the depths of the mud will be thoroughly illuminated after all.

In this world, there will always be exploitation, injustice, greed, and longing.

After all, it settles into sludge and cannot be stopped.

There was still no dawn on the second day, and when the night was at its thickest, a bell rang throughout the assembly.

The carnival slowly dissipated, and everyone left through the arches in every corner and returned to the place where they should go.

Tang Chu and Lian Ting stood in the darkest place at the end of the street, watching these people gradually leave the banquet hall, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"...They all went back?"

"En." Lian Ting turned his head, and behind them was most of the excavated skeleton of the ark.The size of the ark is huge, as if it is an island, stretching to a long place in the darkness.

In the exposed cockpit-like place, a silver light flickered faintly.

Everyone had already left, and only Tang Chu and Lian Ting were left in the entire White Night Gathering.Lian Ting didn't wait too long, gathered his mental power to a point on his fingertips, and headed towards that spot of light.

Then, the world was in turmoil.

Tang Chu leaned on Lian Ting's shoulder to stabilize his figure, looked ahead faintly, and said suddenly:

"The inferiority of human beings..."

"Huh?" Lian Ting turned his head slightly.

"The people here and before are all the same. Even though the survivors who left Tiya almost saved this race and allowed humans to continue to multiply, they still cannot deny their despicableness. Abandoning their mother planet, Destroying myself, and finally leaving myself without a home, I can only wander in the dark universe all day long, and even change my genes to a mess... Find a way out. What an extraordinary blindfold..."

Lian Ting said, "Anyway, we are all latecomers."

"Yes." Tang Chu shrugged, "The one before us will end in our generation."

The world seemed to be slowly collapsing, and Tang Chu even saw a shooting star.

If you look carefully, you can see a silver light streaking across the sky in the distance, getting closer and closer, dazzling.In the end, these silver meteors sank into the skeleton of the ark behind the two of them one after another, and it was slowly re-wrapped by the silver metal, taking shape.

The surrounding black mist was also dissipating, and Tang Chu saw the wind city of the night before entering here.

Here is the blood after a fight, and the breath in the wind is disgusting.The dead body lay horizontally, the silent pupils, the coagulated blood scabs, were covered by a dark cloud.

Then, slowly disintegrate.

The huge and luxurious ark behind them showed a complete shape, as if it was an old silver continent.

Then, it fell to the ground suddenly.

Looking around at the beginning of Tang Dynasty, this place is no longer in Fengshi, but on the cool grassland on the night breeze on planet B-7.Behind them is the huge but old ark, standing quietly under the moonlight, watching them tenderly.

Tang Chu touched his body, but the silver plaques were all gone.

Lian Ting looked at the red arch in front of him, the water curtain was no longer inside the arch, as if it was just an ordinary building.

The wind with the smell of fresh green grass gently passed by the side of his face, lingering around a strand of hair.

The clear brilliance of the moonlight also carries a warm meaning, and there are some faint clouds in the sky.

Everything in the wind market seems to have never existed.Serenity is placed amidst noise, and darkness is hidden under purity.

...a grave without even a tombstone.

Starting today, it's over.

The next honeymoon trip finally had no light bulbs. Lin Yi and everyone in the Glorious Legion had already returned, while Tang Chu and Lian Ting were heading for the next destination in a spaceship made of Hei Yao and Long Er Zhuang.

Tang Chu looked at the universe where light occasionally appeared outside, suddenly remembered something, and shouted:

"Lian Ting, is that stone box still there?"

Lian Ting cut the fruit and walked over, sat next to Tang Chu, and fed him a piece.

"It's still there, I put it away. Here."

Tang Chu took it in his hands, opened the cover, and saw the unread tape inside.

"This..." He carefully picked up the tape and looked at it repeatedly, "Can it still be used? Read it and try."

He looked for the projection device with great interest, and a half-sized machine automatically moved in front of him, and Long Er's proud voice sounded:

"Use this, ordinary devices can't read something so old."

Tang Chu returned to Lian Ting, put the tape into the instrument, and looked at it nervously.

It was running slowly, and after a long while, light and shadow finally appeared, and a picture appeared on the opposite wall.

It's a gray sky.

The camera slowly fell, and there were many people gathered on the scorched black land with no vegetation at all.And very close to the lens is a piece of silver metal, Tang Chu recognized it for a while, and said uncertainly:

"This is...the Ark?"

Lian Ting nodded, "It seems so."

The screen was a bit noisy at first, but then slowly zoomed in and became clear.

The people inside seemed to be divided into two teams, dozens of teenagers stood in the center, and everyone else gathered around, as if to see them off.

Amidst the noise, Tang Chu heard "They are coming" from the screen.

The crowd cleared a path through which a procession of many people was coming—many people with children in their arms were coming.

The noise of the machine in the picture is very loud, but the scene inside Moyo should be quiet.

The babies were handed to the central youths, who carried them and carried them into the ark.

Many children were sent, and the teenagers sent all the children into the ark one after another, and this scene lasted for a long time.

Until, no more children were sent over.

The Ark began to count, a total of 2 people, and the freezer was turned on.

The teenagers got on the ark, and the ark took off.

They are getting farther and farther away from the ground and people, gradually rising, as if waving goodbye.

The people on the ground with their heads up include old people, young people, women, and teenagers.

Looking up at the rising flying boat, it is getting farther and farther away.

The screen suddenly entered the inside of the ark, and Tang Chu and Lian Ting heard a mechanical voice counting:

"The ark has a capacity of 10 passengers, and there are already 2 passengers."

"Biological seeds: 300 million; frozen biological genes: 210 kinds; books and materials: 12 copies..."

"The ark is full..."

The screen stopped abruptly.

The last thing I faced was the dark and boundless universe outside the window.

Tang Chu suddenly felt his mistake.

He believes that human beings did not hesitate to deprive the mother planet of energy to build an ark that can leave. According to the human psychology in the chaotic apocalypse, only a small number of people who can ride on it must be at the top of the pyramid.

They will have the right to find hope for a new life, and they will fight for it. Although they leave their home planet, what they see is not hope, but the deep black universe day after day.

But Tang Chu didn't expect that the one who actually sat on the ark would be the surviving...baby on the planet.

and teenager.

One person left in the ark, watching the mother star getting farther and farther away, he left his hometown, and could no longer look back.

He didn't know how many years he would have to wander, because human beings had never really left their home planet and far away from their homeland before.

He looked at the universe outside the ark, like a big black mouth, swallowing up all his years.In the end, one person will die of old age while wandering, and the other person will wake up from the freeze, continue his mission of watching, and record the home planet that exists in his memory.

...until the last who still remember their homeworld are gone, along with the hope they carry—the child.

A group of people left, a group of people came.

As long as they are there, the home will be rebuilt.

"It's time to prepare." Lian Ting suddenly said, interrupting Tang Chu's thoughts.He put away the tape and rubbed Tang Chu's hair.

"The next stop is coming, don't be in a daze."

Tang Chu smiled, took Lian Ting's hand and bit his fingertips.

He turned to look outside.

A blue and gentle planet is approaching, and a small planet emitting light comes out from behind it.

Reflecting the surrounding universe, it becomes a piece of dark blue, while in the distance, it shows a brilliant dawn.

--Finish--
