Chapter 5: The New World
Li Meng woke up. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info woke up from the darkness.
Pull the switch a few times.
"Out of power?" Li Meng was a little puzzled.
Rummaged through the bedside table for a while. Li Meng finds the flashlight. While thinking to myself, didn't this base say that there would never be a power outage? While rummaging through everything that could be illuminated. Because, the flashlight is also out of power!
"What happened?" After rummaging for a while, Li Meng finally found a few glow sticks in his personal Xiaoice box. After a few folds, I found that it can still be used.
With the light of the glow stick, Li Meng walked out of the bedroom and went all the way to the office of the head of the base.
"What's going on, Wen ...... What about people?" asked Li Meng as he pushed open the door, but suddenly found that there was no one.
"Li Siming?" knocked on the door and shouted several times. Li Meng confirmed: "Li Siming is not here either. What the hell is going on?!"
Li Meng began to inspect room by room. Knock on the door with a lock, and go in without a lock.
"No one ...... in the settlement"
"No one ...... in the office area"
"No one ...... in the lab"
"Wow, what's the artificial planting area...... It's all overgrown with ...... Grass?"
In less than half an hour, Li Meng ran the entire base, but there was no one! Li Meng, whose head was filled with anxiety and questions, did not notice his own difference at all: he ran for half an hour without breathing, hit the wall without pain, and was so strong that he smashed open several wooden doors.
"The fusion reactor is extinguished, so start the backup generator. ”
Li Meng walked towards the backup generator as he sorted out the doubts in his mind.
"The artificial planting area is all grass, which means that no one has taken care of it for a long time. However, the grass is all green, I am not bad in biology, I remember that green grass must have light, probably...... However, there is no dust in the base, and if you leave for a long time, you can't say that, right? Besides, I slept for a long time? Also, the flashlight ran out......
The more I thought about it, the more doubts I had in my head. Moreover, many of the conclusions that Li Meng himself has drawn are conflicting, and some of them are even opposite.
"Forget it, I don't want to. Turn on the generator and see what's on your computer. ”
"Bang bang ......" a continuous and powerful burst sound sounded in the diesel generator set. The indicator on the meter lights up. Li Meng hurried over, pressed the start button, and started the entire thermal power generating unit of the base.
The darkness of the base ushered in the light - most of the lights at the base were not turned off.
The lights came on, and Li Meng searched again—there was no one in the base except Li Meng himself. With the help of the bright light, Li Meng once again discovered some suspicious points. Li Meng realized that it seemed that something had happened at the base that caused everyone to leave so quickly that it was too late to pack up their things, and it was not a short time at once.
"I'm really not fit to think about things that are too complicated...... There are still some suspicious points that cannot be connected at all. I can't use the methods I learned from watching "Conan", right......"
"Ding Dong ......" The crisp startup sound of the computer interrupted Li Meng's self-deprecation.
"This ...... How is that possible!"
"How could I possibly sleep...... Ah, I slept in 2050...... Hah, how is that possible...... Wake up, 2787?"
"No!but, yes!," shouted Lemon.
"Yes. Right...... There must be something wrong with this computer. It must be!"
Li Meng ran out of the chief's office, and said as he ran: "All computers can go wrong, the main computer of the base that controls nuclear fusion...... Supercomputing ...... There's that strict whatever...... Hundreds of thousands of years to the one second error or something. With that, there will be no problems!"
After the supercomputer was activated, the bright 7:29 a.m. on January 5, 2787 on the independent timer made Li Meng temporarily lose his ability to think.
After a long time, 3 minutes to be exact, Li Meng came back to his senses.
"I've slept for 737 years, should I be so exaggerated? I haven't changed at all, I don't have a white beard, I don't have gray hair, I don't have age spots, I don't have eyes...... In 737, immortality, what are you kidding? In 737, there is no dust in the base, what are you kidding? In 737, not a single lamp is broken, what are you kidding?"
"What are you kidding, ah!!" Li Meng shouted and punched the console hard.
The facts cannot be believed. But Li Meng didn't want to believe it.
"yes, go to the ground. Li Meng, who turned to leave, did not see the deep fist mark on the metal table of the operating table.
"Drink, so neat, ah. Li Meng looked at the passage in front of him that seemed to be covered with a piece of transparent glass, and then filled the outside of the passage with dirt, and thought, "Yes, even if I dig a way with a shovel, I will also get out!"
Another round of rummaging. Li Meng found a map of the passage and a shovel cart.
"From here, 100 meters in a straight line to the wall. Digging!"
Li Meng violently scooped up a shovel of soil and threw it behind him. Then move on.
In the middle of the night, Li Meng had already dug out more than ten meters, and there was already a hill behind him.
"Whew. Li Meng took a breath, wiped the light sweat on his head, and looked at the small mound in the distance, "Hmph, I've slept for 737 years...... A shovel of dirt can be thrown that far, hehe. ”
After a while. Li Meng stopped to eat something, looked at the map in his hand and calculated: "I dug a little slanted, so calculated, dig another three or five meters, the top can touch the top of the passage, and the front is the wall." ”
After eating, take a break. Li Meng continued to dig.
However, after three meters did not touch the wall.
Five meters, still not touching the wall.
"It's really evil. I didn't really sleep for 737 years, did I, this head is all knotted? Why didn't it touch the wall?"
Li Meng felt that something was wrong, and dug another ten meters, but he still didn't touch the wall, not above, not on the opposite side. According to calculations, at this time, the scope of Li Meng's excavation had exceeded the wall of the passage by more than ten meters.
Li Meng retreated, looked at the drawings carefully, and looked at the passage for a long time, and finally pointed to the junction between the passage and the soil, and nodded: "Yes, yes, dig a little forward along the wall of the passage, and then dig horizontally." If there is a wall, it will inevitably hit the wall, and there is no ...... That is to say, the outside has ...... There are no more walls!"
"No! really not!" Li Meng dug along the joint, and he could clearly dig out the passage section of the joint.
"Then, the way of digging needs to be changed. The inclination could be a little greater. Just throw it directly behind you, and you can save a lot of effort without pushing it with a small cart. ”
Li Meng, who did what he wanted to do, solved a problem, and found that he had no problems in his head, was full of motivation. Soon, the dirt behind him obscured the passage.
Through the illumination of the glow sticks he carried, Li Meng didn't feel tired and kept digging. In the end, when I got tired, I realized that I couldn't get out - either dig up or down. Li Meng only took a sip of water, spat fiercely, and continued to dig again.
Day and night, Li Meng didn't know how long he had been digging. Strangely, he never suffocated from lack of oxygen, recovered quickly from exhaustion, and of course, did not starve to death. Although the light of the glow stick was faint, Li Meng could still see it. Li Meng, who was bent on digging out, didn't pay attention to these at all.
Finally, after a burst of collapse and mud fell on Li Meng's body, the sun shone in.
Coming to the ground, Li Meng looked at the towering giant column several kilometers away, and was shocked to think that according to the sentence "All the impossible is eliminated, the remaining one is the answer, no matter how bizarre it is", should be - "I crossed with the base...... ......."
