Metamorphosis - Extraterrestrial Adventures (8)
After a while, we suddenly stopped. I'm thinking about it, but I've arrived at my destination? So I asked Mugu No. 2, didn't you say that this journey was longer than any previous one? How did it arrive so quickly?
The people of Mugu went out to take a look, and as soon as they came in, they said that we were stranded halfway now, and we didn't know where this was yet. I got up later and realized that we were in a space vehicle, but it looked old. The people of Mugu said that this is also a pile of space junk, a space vehicle that has long been outdated. I thought that this time was the end, the first time our transport boat ran aground, the situation was better, at least I knew that there was a docking station not far ahead, and even if I really couldn't think of a way, it was not too difficult to call for help. But the situation is different now, now in a place where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, like a bus breaking down on the highway.
I wonder if there will be other lifeforms passing by on the same road, and if they can't help directly, they can at least send a message to the stop ahead so that someone can pick them up.
The people of Mugu said that it was impossible, because the frequency of use was different between the different people; Besides, we have stopped now, and the life forms of the past are moving at a very fast pace like we were before, and it is impossible to find us small.
I asked the people of Mugu, can't the communicator be used in these places?
It's not that we can't, but no, if you take a transport, you can still carry it, but now we are moving forward with a super light quality, and we can't take anything outside of our body with us.
The long-distance communication between me and the people of the Mutani is telepathy, but the people of the Mutani say that if the distance is too far, the more the signal will be interfered with, so it cannot be transmitted to a relatively distant place.
He can't save it, it seems that he has to save himself.
When I heard that we couldn't be rescued, my heart suddenly cooled, and I felt like I had fallen into an ice cave; The extreme feeling of being in a desperate situation is something that cannot be felt by people who have not experienced it firsthand.
The people of Mugu said don't be afraid, we are not completely hopeless, and we can still use our brains to find a nearby planet with life. So let's find something useful on that discarded flying machine under our ass.
As I was rummaging through the contents, I saw a discarded spacesuit with the word "Canada" printed on it. I remember hearing my sister mention it before, "Canada" is a country on the earth with relatively advanced technology, but I didn't expect their spacecraft to float so far away. Under that spacesuit, the words "2022" are also printed, and it is estimated that it will fly into the sky in 2022.
Somehow, after learning that it was "Canada's" space junk, I had a feeling of being a fellow countryman.
The people of Mugu are going to use some of the electronic components and machine parts on the aircraft to build a simple transport boat, as long as it can fly to a nearby planet with life.
After tossing for most of the day, although the prototype of the transport boat has come out, they can't make the transport boat move, it is estimated that some electronic components are in disrepair and maintenance, or they have been changed by other rays in the universe and have lost their original functions.
When I gave energy to the transport boat, I told them to lose a little less and try it first, in case it didn't work, it was only a very small amount of waste, but I didn't expect it to be said by my old pig now. Just when we were worried, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my head, and I suddenly remembered an old movie I watched a long, long time ago, the name seems to be called "Robot Wall-E". In that film, Eva and WALL-E used only a fire extinguisher inside the aircraft in order to embrace each other in space, and once the gas inside was released, the thrust generated could push the object in question in the opposite direction.
I told them about this idea, and the people of Mugu said that although it was very primitive, it was still a very good idea, as far as the current situation was concerned.
Finally, we found several large fire extinguishers from the other cabins and installed them at the tail of the transporter, with the valves connected to the cockpit as the throttle. After a lot of tossing, we can now finally move on again.
The people of Kitani explained that such space-time tunnels sometimes malfunctioned, which is why they were left halfway.
In the distance, I saw a big planet in front of me. I was very happy and said that I was finally able to be rescued.
The two of the Mutani said not to be too happy, although it seems that we are very close to it, but in fact there is still a long way to go; Besides, it's not certain if there are any living beings there, and if there are none, it will be a bad luck, and the situation will become more complicated.
Come to think of it, I once asked the second of the people of Mugu before, and asked how there was something he didn't know? Because he talked endlessly like a tour guide all the way before, as if he knew everything, why didn't he know where we are now? Mugu No. 2 said that the entire vast universe could not be fully comprehended even by the most advanced intelligent lifeforms, not to mention that he had not yet reached that level, so it was normal for him to be at a loss. Although he had passed through this space-time tunnel before, he had never seen this situation before, so he didn't know anything about the space outside the tunnel.
It was really accurate by the Mugu people, and the transport boat suddenly slowed down.
The people of Mugu can't say it, it seems that there is not much foam in the fire extinguisher, we have to hurry down and throw away the transport.
So, the people of Mugu turned off the valve of the fire extinguisher, and we went down to the outside of the transport boat together, and removed the fire extinguisher from its tail and tied it to our backs. When I was looking for a fire extinguisher, there were originally five, but one of them looked like it had been hit by a passing space junk, and there was a big opening in the bottle, and there was not a single hair in it, so there were only four.
There are only three of us, but we have four fire extinguishers, so obviously we can't score evenly. The second of the people of the Mutani said that I was big and needed more push, so he decided to let me carry two at the same time, just in case.
So, we were really like Eva and Vali, rushing towards the planet ahead with white smoke from behind their butts. It is not necessary to open the valve for a long time when moving forward, but to open it occasionally, and then advance a certain distance with the help of limited thrust, and then open it again after the momentum slows down; In other words, most of the time we move forward with the help of inertia.
Gradually, we will be able to see some things on the surface of the planet more clearly. It seemed to have a lot of stuff piled up on it, all messed up.
The feeling of floating in space is generally quite comfortable, except that I don't feel that something exists, and my heart is a little bottomless.
The planet is getting closer and closer to us, and it seems that it is about to touch the ground, and our fire extinguisher seems to have been discussed, and suddenly it is gone, and it is still useless to unscrew the valves. The three of us happened to be arranged in the order of front, middle and back, and Mugu No. 2 suggested that the last Mugu No. 4 use the only bit of inertia to push me, and then push him when I advanced behind Mugu No. 2, and when Mugu No. 2 moved forward, he would use the safety rope tied to his waist to drive Mugu No. 4. In this way, according to the law of conservation of energy, the initial momentum of Mugu Ren 4 will be carried over and push us forward.
Fortunately, there is no other gravitational influence, otherwise this little power will have to be overcome sooner or later.
Somehow, we slowed down again, probably because the old pig's body bones were too heavy. Seeing that it was about to land, just a little bit worse, you can imagine the depressed mood of my old pig at that time. But there is no way to do this, the lost kinetic energy cannot be recovered, and we still have to think of another way, and victory is just around the corner.
The last method was thought up by my old pig, and the specific method is as follows: with your back to the direction of the planet, blow hard, and slowly move forward with the help of the thrust of the air blown out, the principle is similar to that of a fire extinguisher. Not to mention, it's a really good way to do it, because the surface of the planet is getting closer and closer to us.
Just when he was happy, a loud noise suddenly sounded on the ground, similar to the siren of a police car, "Ula Ula". It didn't take long for me to see people popping up from the ground and shouting in a ball. As soon as there was a shout here, all the places in the distance began to shout, as if they had passed the news to each other so quickly.
The Mugu man shouted "not good", and I asked why it was not good, but he kept silent again, and just stared at the moving lifeforms below.
Eventually, the very limited gravitational pull on the planet's surface slammed us to the ground. As soon as I landed, there were all kinds of life forms gathered around us, including the four-legged, two-eyed, round-headed werewolves we had seen before, the Bol people like aloe vera, the transparent people, the two-dimensional Slans, the Seguin people in the shape of inverted "people", the flattened Missians who looked similar to humans, and some strangely shaped moving objects that we had never seen before.
I'm curious, is there a grand cosmic lifeform party going on here? If that's the case, I'll be honored to be able to show my face on behalf of us earthlings. The only thing that I can't figure out is that if it's a cosmic lifeform party, why do these lifeforms seem so embarrassed? Isn't it just like us, who just came here?
Because of the difference in language, their discussion seemed chaotic, and the three of us were lying on the ground, observing the strange scene in front of us. I thought that it would be nice to learn some English from Sister Qing at the beginning, and maybe I could talk to some of the creatures in it now; So I vowed at the time that I would study hard when I went back in the future.
In a few moments, the crowd automatically made a way out of the way, and in the distance came a few loud-mouthed men in uniform, who escorted the three of us like police escorts. The people of Kitani say that they have to look at their luck now, because this is the most "rotten" prison in the universe; And the reason why Mugu No. 2 knows that this is a prison is because it is exactly the same as the rotten prison described by his ancestors.
The uniformed big-mouthed man is right, this is the most famous rotten prison in the universe!
The uniformed big-mouthed man led us into a small room built down the hill. In this small house, there are several big-mouthed people like Loudmouth Warning, also in uniform. At first, the big-mouthed man looked fierce when questioned, but then a big-mouthed man who looked like an official came over and stopped him, motioning for him to come by himself.
I will call the big-mouthed man who brought us here just now the big-mouthed man No. 1, and the big-mouthed man who is an official the big-mouthed man No. 2, so it's more convenient to describe it.
Bigmouth Two looks very casual and asks how we got here? Mugu Ren No. 2 explained to him using the "Thousand Miles of Sound Transmission" method, saying that we fell from the space-time tunnel and couldn't find a place to replenish energy for a while, so we floated here, and said that we didn't know that this was a prison in advance. In addition, Mugu No. 2 also showed the logo on his chest to the big-mouthed No. 2, saying that it was his ID card, and it was easy to find out whether what he said was true.
Bigmouth Two looked satisfied, and then asked the other Bigmouths to check it out.
Then, Big Mouth Man No. 2 turned his gaze to me again and asked me how I got here.
I didn't know how to answer, and the Mutani 2 spoke, saying that I was a life form called "human" on an asteroid in the outer space of the Milky Way, and this time I was going to Kotani with him to do some personal business.
The big mouth man No. 2 asked me to take out a valid ID card, and I said that my ID card was still at home and I had never brought it with me, but if you have a telephone and a fax machine here, I would ask my wife to fax a copy of my ID card...... Before I could finish speaking, the big mouth man No. 2 muttered impatiently: Nonsense!
It wasn't until Big Mouth Two came to me that I could see his face very clearly, except for the head, they were almost the same as us earthlings, except that the legs were slightly longer and thinner, and the arms had an extra joint - we all had one, but they had two. The biggest difference between them and humans is their facial features and lack of ears; The nose does not have a nasal bridge, only two small nostrils that grow on top of the mouth; Although the eyes are there, they are deeply sunken in the sockets, and the whole thing is black, and I can't see what the eyes are, as if they are always motionless. What's funnier is their mouths, and the reason why I call them big mouths is because they all have a big mouth: not ordinarily big, but very big; It took up almost half of their faces, as if their faces were born to grow that mouth.
The old pig wants to make it clear that I didn't mean to tease them. People might say you're no better, with a big nose and big ears. This is true, but for the big-mouthed people in front of me, I observed and described them from an aesthetic point of view, but I thought it was really fun to express their facial features in more detailed words.
The big-mouthed man who had just gone in with the ID card of the Kiya Man No. 2 came out and reported that there was indeed this person, and that they were indeed going to a distant planet on an errand. It's good that we can finally clarify our identities, or they would have thought we were here to rob the prison.
But then the words of the big mouth man No. 2 surprised me, he said that only Mugu No. 2 and Mugu No. 4 can leave after replenishing energy, and I can't provide identity proof, so I have to continue to stay here to cooperate with the investigation, and wait for the identity to be confirmed before releasing people.
I stared blankly at Mugu No. 2, hoping that he could also come up with a good idea this time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
The second of the Mugu people told me not to worry, saying that it would definitely be done. As the two of the Guys said, they finally convinced the Big Mouth and proved that the old pig did not come to rob the prison.
I said thank you, the second of the Mugu people said yes, since it was entrusted by my compatriots, then there must be a beginning and an end.
Later, those big-mouthed people treated us as guests, and said that it was not too late to replenish our energy after eating.
In the process of eating, I learned the origin of these big-mouthed people.
They were originally inhabitants of this planet, and like many other planets, they had their own houses, fields, wives, children, and old people, and lived happily. But later, a group of savages on a nearby planet with higher intelligence than them took a fancy to the flat terrain of their planet, and actually used it as a battlefield for them to fight the enemy. And the big-mouthed people who live here have become innocent victims and cannon fodder for strangers for no reason, but it's a pity that the wisdom of the big-mouthed people can't compete with the wisdom of the barbarians, although they grit their teeth in the bottom of their hearts, but they are helpless. In this way, many big-mouthed people were "killed", and only a very small number of hidden big-mouthed people survived. Later, the Cosmic Military Tribunal decided that the barbarians were too barbaric, so they sent people to charge them and bring them all to justice in order to pay for the heinous crimes they had committed. As a result, the barbarians were arrested, and relying on the special operations forces sent by the combined army, they came to their base overnight to catch the barbarians. Later, the Cosmic Military Court converted this place into a labor camp, where all felons were to be forced to work here, and the surviving big-mouthed people became the prison guards here. Of course, in another distant area where the barbarians who had killed countless of their countrymen were imprisoned, they had to work hard every day to atone for their atrocities.
The people of Mugu enlightened and said that now you are very good, and you don't have to work yourself.
The Big Mouth Man No. 2 said how do you know that the pain of losing a loved one can never be healed.
I really feel sorry for the big-mouthed man, and when I heard his last sentence, I somehow remembered Sister Lan again.
