197, light years away
In a clearing outside the new base in the Fourth Corridor, the Milano was quietly parked there.
Ding Sheng, on the other hand, is making some simple modifications to this spaceship.
"Wrench. ”
"Screwdriver. ”
"Soldering iron. ”
After more than a year of upgrading, although the strength of the five sets of armor customized in the mold factory is still average, the core has evolved to be intelligent enough.
In addition to being responsible for the security and cleaning of the base on weekdays, he can also help Ding Sheng with some simple starts, just like a "walking intelligent robotic arm".
Of course, don't look at Ding Sheng knocking on the Milano with these tools, but it is accurate to forcibly say that it is modified.
After all, the Milano has the ability to jump in space that can travel freely in the universe, and even if Ding copied his classmates, it would be difficult to optimize it.
What Ding Sheng is doing now should be called "retrofitting".
Add a killer weapon that can deal with, intercept, force back, and even defeat skirmishes.
At this time, there was still 1 hour and 14 minutes before the skirmish arrived in the solar system.
"Okay, the new features have been installed, do you need to do a real combat exercise?"
After dozens of hours of continuous work from the Marvel world, the Milano retrofit mission has finally come to a successful conclusion.
"No need. ”
Ding Sheng directly rejected Guan Ju's proposal to rehearse, firstly because of absolute confidence in his craft, and secondly, because this new function is really not suitable for experiments.
"Well, the progress of the 'Outpost Interception Project' that was launched 72 hours ago is currently 7 hours and 21 minutes behind, and in terms of time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to return to the Imperial Neighborhood Garden to say goodbye to your parents as planned. Ding Sheng, my suggestion is to immediately enter the 'response plan' delivery process. ”
Although the current surface of the earth looks peaceful, there is no difference from the past, but some people know that this peace is based on the joint efforts of countries around the world to conceal the news of the evaporation of Titan and the attack of alien civilizations.
And Ding Sheng is the part of this group of people who know the most about the situation, and it can even be said that there is no one.
This is a handsome man who wants to save the earth on his shoulders, and the pressure can be imagined.
Ding Sheng's trip to the far side is nothing more than three results.
First, the interception failed.
Solution, none.
According to the inference of Ding Sheng, Catherine, and all the informed researchers of major aerospace organizations, observatories, astrophysics, theoretical physics, etc., the arrival of the sentinel in the solar system is the end of the earth.
One must build on a firm foundation.
As for what the United Nations is privately preparing to sow the seeds of humanity into the sea of stars, in order to continue the inheritance of mankind after the loss of the earth, it is safe to say that it will not happen.
Because strength does not allow.
So as long as Ding Sheng fails to intercept this, then the human race will be cold, and it's not interesting to talk about what to deal with or not.
Second, the interception was successful, and Ding Sheng returned.
The crisis has been lifted temporarily, and the earth and humanity have ushered in a precious period of respite.
Universal celebration.
Countermeasures, upgrade civilization.
Third, the interception was successful, and Ding Sheng failed to return.
The strength that has been shown in the previous sentinel battle is not small.
The response plan is a plan that he and Guan Ju specially supplemented for this special situation in addition to the outpost interception plan after careful discussion.
In more layman's terms, it is a will.
Of course, this will will only take effect after the interception of the outpost is successful and Ding Sheng's sacrifice occurs at the same time.
"The coordinates of the earth have been exposed, and we still have no way of knowing how many alien civilizations have captured them, so if the interception is successful, I won't come back, Guan Ju, I don't want you to perform the sleep program. ”
Ding Sheng's greatest wealth is the knowledge in his brain, and Guan Ju, who shares a considerable part of his knowledge, is obviously the second wealth that he deserves.
Take the Ark reactor as an example, once Ding Sheng dies, Guan Ju is the only "person" on this planet who knows how the Ark reactor was made.
Therefore, the first item of the "response plan" is about the future of Guan Ju.
Ding Sheng used to formulate a sleep program for Guan Ju because he was worried that once he left, Guan Ju would fall into the hands of people with bad intentions and endanger the world.
But now it was different, Ding Sheng met a candidate worthy of trust in both science and character.
"I understand that if this happens, I will take your will with Miss Catherine to advance and retreat with this world. ”
The tacit understanding is like this, there is no need to say it completely, Guan Ju also understands what Ding Sheng means.
"As for space-time technology and the new base, I'll leave it to my friends. ”
The parents are slowly aging, and they have enough savings to enjoy their old age, and it is absolutely impossible for Ding Sheng to involve them in the company again.
On the contrary, it is a few of his friends, who know the roots, and there is nothing wrong with their character and ability, plus the relevant Ju Lining, squeezing toothpaste to maintain the normal operation of space-time technology should be no problem.
"Finally, in the newly created 1.017 folder, I have prepared some gifts for everyone. ”
Regarding gifts, when the Marvel Universe followed Steve Rogers to the north and south, Ding Sheng was already quietly preparing.
"If, I mean, if a third scenario does arise, don't worry, I'll do what you ask and arrange everything in order. ”
"Thank you, ready to start the execution of the interception plan. ”
Ding Sheng said, put on his armor, and strode into the cockpit of the Milano.
At this time, there are still 54 minutes before the skirmish arrives in the solar system.
"Autonomous driving and outer space contingency driving solutions are being set up, and the stand-alone version of 'Guan Ju' is being implanted in the nano-carbon acetyne armor and the Milano..."
Although he has a lot of skills, Ding Sheng really can't drive a spaceship.
And this goes outside the solar system, there is obviously no network signal, Guan Ju will also leave the coverage of the communication satellite offline on time, and Lu Dingsheng in the back can only advance and retreat with the stand-alone version of 'Guan Ju'.
"Implantation complete. ”
"The powertrain has been tested. ”
"The weapon system has been tested. ”
"The interactive system has been detected. ”
"The defense system has been detected. ”
"The Milano 9.0 Cosmic Translation System has been tested. ”
“......”
"The power engine is ready to take off!"
Ding Sheng's hands were also gently placed on the cockpit, waiting for the moment when the engine was ignited.
"Please note that an emergency declaration from the United Nations will be broadcast simultaneously on all television, radio, Internet and radio network communication channels around the world. ”
Suddenly, a broadcast message with the same content landed at the same time, in various forms and languages, on all platforms around the world that can provide timely communication.
"There's one thing, we think it's time to inform everyone..."
“... If the person you cherish is close by, embrace him or her from now on..."
“... Unfortunately, for the sake of global stability in the last 72 hours, we did not leave enough time for everyone to say their final goodbyes, and this is the end of this journey between the Earth and humanity in the universe, and it is a pleasure to walk with you and see you again. ”
This is not a prank.
This news was confirmed by all the authorities around the world in just a few minutes.
No madness, no despair.
Yes, just the dead silence that followed in disbelief.
Rumble~!
With the roar of the windy engines, the Milano was about to slowly rise into the air in the fourth corridor, and then turned into a streamer of light and broke through the atmosphere.
"It's about to leave the communication area, this system is about to go offline, Ding Sheng, goodbye. ”
"See you soon. ”
"The stand-alone version of the Guan Ju system is online, please instruct. ”
"Towards the target point. ”
"Currently 2.373 light-years away from the target point, initiating a space jump..."
Shout!
The space jump was completed in an instant, so fast that Ding Sheng only felt that he could shake his eyes.
By the time normal vision was restored, the ship was suspended in the darkness of space.
The clock is still ticking.
Soon after.
A dazzling light flashed, and after the space in front of the Milano distorted, a huge wing-shaped spaceship appeared in front of Ding Sheng's eyes.
Immediately, an unknown communication signal was connected to the Milano, and the translator used by the extraterrestrial high-level cosmic civilization directly converted the signal into Chinese.
"The progress and development of civilization requires a ladder, and when all resistance is meaningless, you should dance for joy that you can become a ladder..."
Listening to the other party's chatter, Ding Sheng was really afraid that he would be heard if he was sleepy.
"I'm sorry, but the solar system is closed today. ”
