In the whole universe, there was no sound at all, only a long and thick darkness, and the sparse starlight did not light up the space, but more and more contrasted with the darkness like velvet.

"Houston. Houston...... Houston, Houston...... Houston. ”

In the silence, a low voice calls relentlessly, the flat and straightforward voice does not feel anger or irritation, or even any ups and downs, as if it were a mechanical sound, but the rhythm of the call changes slightly, the interval of silence, the repetition of the template, or the long, cumbersome end, such subtle differences, but outline the despair in the words.

When connecting space with the ground, in addition to calling "Houston" as the beginning, you must also report your name and title to ensure that you can clearly locate in the communication process, which is an official procedure for normal communication, and every astronaut must know the rules.

But at this time, the voice of this call seems to be a prank, childishly constantly calling "Houston", without superfluous additional self-introduction, which is not in accordance with the rules and procedures, faintly revealing a willfulness, and the despair hidden behind it - it seems that there is no way to do it, so it breaks the jar and falls.

"......" was a long silence, and the repeated calls did not get any response, so a long silence was ushered in, only the murmur of the walkie-talkie band was slightly ringing, this silence was so empty that it was panicking, and then, the voice remembered again, steady and calm, calm and stiff, it seemed that it had begun to numb, and even the last trace of vitality had begun to slowly precipitate.

"Houston, I'm Space Missionary Ryan Stone, did you get that?"

At this moment, a chaotic and muffled voice sounded, and the curling tail note suddenly stopped, even if you didn't see the face, you could feel the heart that contracted violently, and it seemed that in an instant it had returned from the bottom of despair to the sun-drenched earth, "Houston! Houston, Houston!"

The hurried voice grasped that glimmer of hope with infinite longing, and it was painfully urgent.

"Houston, please confirm your identity! Houston! AM band received your response, received? Did you receive it?

There was a hint of anxiety and earnestness in his voice, and even a slight tremor - he was trying to suppress it, but after all, he still couldn't hide his instincts/abilities, and inadvertently leaked out, but, without responding, the noise of those bands disappeared instead, and the world fell into a silent silence again, as if a big hand had grabbed the heart and suffocated in an instant.

Taking a deep breath, you can vaguely hear the surging air flow of another deep breath, and after the voice sounded again, it forcibly returned to stability, "Are you a Chinese space station?

A voice finally came from the other end of the band, which seemed to be a little clearer, but still inaudible, and exhaled softly, trying to relax the tension and think of a more direct way to convey the message.

"Mayday, did you get it?" this is the international radio distress signal, "Help! ”

Ryan Stone finally appeared in the camera, his hands on the radio FM button, trying to find a clearer signal, that cold face without any expression, the beard above the chin outlined the neat face line, more and more set off the depth and softness of the eyes.

At this time, his eyes stared intently at the radio in front of him, immersed in it, but his sunken eyes revealed a sense of sadness, and the surging emotions were breaking the mask of calm and self-control little by little, trying to break free, more and more highlighting the surface control, control, and control, showing the turbulent torrent of the dark tide to the fullest.

Obviously, he didn't say anything, just a quick glance, but he said everything.

A messy voice came over the radio band, seemingly saying, "You're talking about May...... "It's not like English, it's not like conversation, it's more like singing.

The sense of absurdity did not shake Ryan's eyes in the slightest, but became more urgent and more surging, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, and said eagerly, "Yes, yes, please help, please help, please help!" Over and over again, over and over again, and over again, and at the end, his voice became rapid, slightly choked, as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed his throat.

However, the other end of the radio was still singing to himself, and then a sentence came out of nowhere, "An Ninggang." ”

Ryan was stunned like this, the corners of his mouth tugged slightly, paused for a moment, and pulled again, and the sense of absurdity and absurdity finally exploded, and he laughed like this.

The corners of his mouth are smiling brightly, but the sadness in the depths of his eyes is flowing thickly, and the helplessness of that desperate moment is vividly interpreted in the blink of an eye. Laughing and laughing, the pain and struggle in his eyes tied the happiness at the corners of his mouth fiercely, and he couldn't move.

Gritting his teeth vigorously, he didn't let his emotions collapse completely, regrouped, and continued the communication again, "Is that your name?An Ninggang?is this your name?An Ninggang?" After a slight pause, Ryan called out cordially as if a friend was having a conversation, "An Ninggang." ”

"Woo-la-la...... An Ninggang ...... Mayday. ”

The voice replied, all of which were strings of unintelligible syllables, pieced together meaningless words, and when Ryan heard "Mayday" again, he realized that he didn't understand the meaning of the international distress language, and was just repeating it.

It's like a babbling baby.

Reason was aware of this, but emotion was still unaware of—or refusing to admit it—and he reflexively said, "No, no, no, no, my name is not Medi, my name is Stone, and I am Dr. Ryan Stone." I need help and I ......"

As he spoke, his emotions began to gradually fall apart, the focus and focus of his eyes began to collapse little by little, and he began to float his gaze blankly and helplessly, but he could not find a place to stay. Reason finally hit his chest, dispersing the last umbrella of emotion, and sadness and despair filled his eyes.

The smile on the corner of his mouth rose again, and before he could let go, hope was cut off again, and that mixed taste swept in with an incredible absurdity and funny, and he smiled and laughed, and his eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, and then he chuckled, "Huh." That deep despair rippled, but it stirred up turbulent waves.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

……

The whole crew was silent, and even the instinctive/energy breathing had been forgotten, let alone the action of holding their breath, but they were completely integrated with the boundless space, as if they were also in the vast universe, no matter how they struggled, but human beings were just a speck of dust in the vast universe, and all the resistance, all the efforts, and all the struggles were so insignificant.

The stark contrast between majesty and insignificance, grandeur and humility, slammed heavily and fiercely on everyone's chest.

Suddenly, tears rushed out of the eyes and slipped to the ground, and the real magic is that there is no nasal acid, no sadness, and even no emotional fermentation process, as if tears instantly condense in the depths of the soul, skipping all the physical and chemical reactions of the body, and falling directly. I didn't even have time to react to the action of wiping away tears.

What kind of despair is that, what kind of helplessness is that, everyone's tongue tastes different.

Then, they saw a glow flowing in the depths of Ryan Stone's eyes, which was refracted very clearly on the camera, as if it was full of vitality, which could not be hidden or suppressed, and it burst out like this, which was eye-catching, but then, after realizing the truth of the matter, the sadness was released exponentially.

"Dog barking? That's dog barking......

Ryan listened attentively, a flash of happiness crept into him, and then whispered, "That's the Earth's signal." Because in space, you can't hear a dog barking, "that's a signal from Earth." Repeating himself again, Ryan lowered his eyelids and couldn't help but repeat the same words for the third time, "That's a signal from Earth." ”

The vague words are almost inaudible, but they faintly reveal an obsession and nostalgia, the belief of yearning to return to the earth.

What kind of loneliness is that, what kind of bitterness is that, it will be like this, just because I heard the signal from the earth, the whole person slowly melted away, like a wanderer returning home, all the strength and pretense were completely gone, revealing the truest and most fragile self.

On the radio, An Ninggang laughed heartily and heartily, and even with it, Ryan couldn't help laughing, the mellow and warm laughter rang deep in his throat, obviously smiling brightly, but the loneliness that was so thick that he couldn't dissolve made the smile so bitter.

Suddenly, Rooney's eyes were full of tears, her vision was completely blurred, and the corners of her mouth were still smiling, but the tears were like pearls with broken threads, falling down one by one.

At this moment, she saw Ryan Stone, and she also saw Lan Li Hall - the Lan Li Hall who looked up at the stars after the Oscars and whispered "Who cares if another light goes out", the loss and loneliness in her bones were buried deeply, deeply, carefully, refusing to reveal the vulnerability of her heart, but she ruthlessly broke all of Rooney's defenses.

At this moment, Lan Li is Ryan, and Ryan is Lan Li, as if all of them are in space, witnessing a hymn of life. The passionate and surging emotion made Rooney's emotions completely burst.
