March 10, 1947, 9:25 a.m., Solar System, near Mars.

Hexi, dressed in a white military uniform with silver threads, got up from the captain's seat and gave a loud order in the bridge command room:

"Report the status of each department!"

After the bionic robots fed back the operation status of the Hyperion to "Yan", who held the position of first officer, the "Yan" wearing a white women's military uniform came to Hexi's side.

"Report! The Hyperion was running a full-system test and everything was normal. You can always be ready to go, please ask the captain to instruct you. ”

Bucky, who was dressed in a green military uniform, looked at Keisha and complained to Hexi when he heard this: "So, we are preparing to leave the solar system?" ”

And Boss Xiao, who was standing side by side with Bucky, smiled and teased: "How is it?" Excited or not? Nervous or not? Happy or not! ”

Keisha ignored the two men who were talking to each other and said to Hexi, "Okay, let's go." Go early, send Yue Bai and Bucky back early. ”

Nodding, Hexi turned his gaze to "Hiko" and began to give orders: "Attention of the whole ship, start to turn the farthest distance in the direction of 9 o'clock." ”

"After the fold is completed, pay attention to immediately turn on the shipborne radar, scan the star field and complete the star field map."

"Yes!" As Yan began to explain his work to the relevant departments, Hexi raised his arm and looked at the mechanical watch given to him by Boss Xiao on his wrist.

The time pointed to 9:28:26, and when the second hand reached 37 seconds, Hexi received a reply from the driver of the fold, saying that the fold work was ready.

The second hand had jumped to 50 seconds at this time, and Hexi continued to stare at the watch on his wrist to start the countdown:

“......。”

“3”

“2”

“1！ Start folding! ”

At the last exit of Hexi, the second hand of the watch also happened to come to 9:29 sharp, and the Hyperion, which was sailing outside Mars, was suddenly elongated at this moment, and then disappeared from the spot with a "whoosh".

In the solar system, in a star system 10 light-years outside Neptune's orbit, the Hyperion, which had just disappeared from the solar system, reappeared here with a flash of light in deep space.

As soon as the Folding Engine settled down, Hexi immediately gave the order: "According to the original plan, start exploring this star system." ”

On the bridge, Keisha looked at the starry sky outside the porthole, her eyes glowing white, and she was using her eye of insight to check the situation of the galaxy.

An hour later, Hiko took a folder and began to report to Hexi: "Report to the captain, this star system has been explored and integrated into the star map inside the ship. ”

"Hmm!" Agreed, Hexi said: "Detailed information archive, tell me the general news!" ”

"Yes!" Opening the folder in his hand, the bionic robot "Hiko" said:

"The number of planets captured by the gravity of the stars in this galaxy is 5, and there are no habitable planets, but there are abundant reserves of various resources, and the detailed resource distribution has been stored in the ship's database!"

With a wave of his hand, Hexi once again gave the order to end the exploration of this galaxy and go to the next galaxy.

For a long time after that, Hexi commanded the Hyperion and began to explore the vast universe of the Milky Way.

After the initial excitement, Xiao Yuebai and Bucky also left the bridge, and only Keisha and Hexi were on duty on the bridge in shifts.

On this day, Xiao Yuebai walked aimlessly in the residential area, and accidentally saw a guitar from an empty room.

At this moment, something that seemed to have been sealed in his memory for a long time was suddenly opened.

Silently walked into the room, picked up the dusty guitar, and gently blew off the thick dust on it, when the new lacquer surface was shiny, the smile on Xiao Yuebai's mouth became more gentle.

He suddenly remembered when he was just 24 years old before he crossed over.

A bright sun illuminated the sky spotlessly, and there was not a single cloud in the clear blue sky, and he sat quietly in the stern of the cargo ship, playing a guitar, and telling the sorrow in his heart with music.

Now, after counting the crossing, it has been 10 years, and this guitar that suddenly appeared, like a swallow building a nest under the eaves of its house, suddenly broke into its own life.

After trying the audition and finding that the guitar was well preserved, Xiao Yuebai seemed even happier, picked up the guitar and walked to the Hubelian bar.

took a bottle of wine in the bar, poured himself a glass, and Xiao Yuebai, who was holding the guitar, thought about it for a long time in his mind, how to play the guitar.

Time has passed too long, and these things, like many happy and sad things, need people to think carefully and taste carefully in the precipitation, in order to find the warm feeling at the beginning.

Putting down the wine glass, Xiao Yuebai put his hands on the guitar, and with the change of the fingers of both hands, a piece of music in the style of rural folk cuisine sounded, and he also sang along with the music:

“If you miss the train I’m on.”

(If you miss my train)

“You will know that i am gone.”

(You'll know I'm gone)

“You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.”

(You can hear the whistle sounding a hundred miles away.) ）

......。

“Lord I’m five hundred miles away from home.”

(Oh my God, I've been five hundred miles away from home.) ）

......。

“Not a shirt on my back.”

(Me in rags)

“Not a pennt to my name.”

(I don't have a penny on me)

“Lord I can’t go back home this a way.”

(Oh my!) How can I go home like this! ）

......

Xiao Yuebai's singing voice is low, as if telling a distant sorrow, which is human instinct, but also the attachment to home and relatives.

"Mom and grandma should think they're dead, right?"

Although he was playing the guitar in his hand and singing his favorite ballad in his mouth, he kept saying "I'm sorry" to his relatives in the other world. ”

When Xiao Yuebai felt that his shoulders were suddenly burdened, he was awakened and saw that Kaisha had come to his side at some point.

"Yes, I'm dead to them!" Xiao Yuebai, who never stopped whether it was his hands or mouth, looked at Kaisha's gaze becoming more and more gentle.

And his heart kept telling himself: "Don't worry about the living anymore when you die, in this world, you are married, and you may have children in the future." ”

The woman in front of her may be cold, but under her cold disguise there is a heart like fire. Maybe she's a lot stronger than herself, but she also needs to rely on herself. ”

Playing and singing, tears slipped from Xiao Yuebai's resolute cheeks, but his eyes became more and more determined.

Listening to the song in her ear, the queen gradually followed suit.

Although she was once a high angel queen, he knew the saying, "Men don't flick when they have tears, unless they are sad." ”

Looking at her lover singing the ballad of missing her hometown, tears kept sliding down his face, and she had been together for four years, she had long understood that her lover was missing his family in his original world.

As Keisha immersed herself in this gentle and mournful song, she couldn't help but think of her subordinates, disciples, and even the sister who gave her a headache in the original world.

What's more, in the near future, the two of them will be separated for an unknown amount of time, and the queen, who has led a race to hegemony for 30,000 years, finally cried for the second time.

The singing continued, still so low and sad, and feeling the gentle dependence around him, the corners of Xiao Yuebai's mouth suddenly turned into a warm smile.
