New Era 054, August 18.

The solar system, human civilization, and the expedition fleet are about to set off.

The dock platform of the giant spaceport.

Countless people saw off with tears.

"I must come back."

"Don't go too far or too long, you must come back no matter what."

"This will always be my hometown, and the fallen leaves will eventually return to their roots."

"A thousand years is too long, three hundred years will come back, okay, or take me with you, I can't wait that long."

Xu Chuxia grabbed Wei Ming's hand, looked reluctant, and said with tears in his eyes.

"Now most of the new materials can be synthesized in the factory, and the only thing that cannot be synthesized is only the drop crystal, but I have synthesized 1 billion tons of reserves there, enough to be used for thousands of years, and it makes little difference if I am not there."

Wei Ming said lightly: "Go do what you like, no one will hinder your interests and hobbies anymore, a thousand years is not long, it will pass in the blink of an eye, and when the time comes, I will come back." ”

"You're a ruthless bastard."

pinched the man's hand hard, Xu Chuxia wiped the corners of his eyes and trotted away.

The gangway is retracted.

The Biosphere moved slowly, leaving the berth, and then accelerating further and further.

Look at the huge tail of the giant ship.

Standing in the commuter corridor, Xu Chuxia clenched his fists, his eyes were shining, and he said secretly: "What I want to do is not a hobby, wait, when you come back, you will see a completely different empire, I will prove me right, and when the time comes, you will apologize to me." ”

……

Departure.

Xiao Hei has already run to the front of the Ecosphere, turned on the gravitational radius, and wrapped the "control acceleration ball" at the front end, generating a pull force of 2 billion tons, allowing the spacecraft to accelerate forward with an acceleration of about 0.2G.

Inside the control hall.

Stand in front of the console.

Through the transparent rectangular portholes, the stars in front of you are as dense as the sea.

Around a circular 10-meter-diameter navigation star map holographic projection sand table, dozens of top navigators are sitting, who are constantly calculating the route, adjusting the course, and passing the navigation route to the smart AR glasses worn by Wei Ming, so that Wei Ming can adjust the course and speed of the spacecraft, and always be above the long green line.

"Is this the route taken by the third group of migrant trains?" Wei Ming asked.

"Yes."

Wei Qi, the chief scientific officer beside him, said: "I have led people to sort out the data for ten years, and the route we are taking now has a 100% overlap rate with the third group of trains of that year, and the error is no more than ten kilometers, and we are walking on the route of that year." ”

Wei Qi was originally known as Wei 7, because of his outstanding ability, he was promoted and renamed Wei Qi.

"The third group of migrant trains ran halfway, why did there be no news?"

Wei Ming said with a thick puzzle on his face: "What happened to the third group of trains?" ”

"Scientists have put forward many speculations, including the 'small black hole devouring theory', the 'dark matter occlusion theory', the 'space life devouring theory', the 'alien capture theory' and the 'Crusu encounter theory'...... At least dozens of hypotheses have emerged. Zhang Xingfeng opened his mouth and said, obviously he also had in-depth research.

"What the hell is Crucusoe?"

Wei Ming turned his head and glared at him and said: "It's the age of science, how can anyone still engage in this kind of godly chatter and inexplicable idealism, there is no Crusu in the materialist world!" ”

Crusoe's setting comes from the Western mythological system, representing all the unknown and fear, this existence is unknowable, invisible, indescribable and depicted, once in contact with it, it will fall into the deep sea of fear, only to sink deeper and deeper, and finally go crazy and die in fear.

For a while, Crusu was set to become a very popular cultural phenomenon.

But Wei Ming felt inexplicable, he couldn't be substituted at all, what is the principle of Crusu's killing? Is there a scientific basis? Can being ugly scare people to death?

Or is this people's deep malice towards ugly things, because you are ugly, so I don't want to see you at all, I don't even want to listen to your voice, I don't want to know your name, it's better to contain them all, don't create a psychological shadow for people.

This is simply a creation without rational and scientific support, just emotional and willful, in the final analysis, it reflects the ugliness in the hearts of some people.

Wei Ming is not interested in such things.

"But what happened to the 4th group of migrant trains is exactly what some of Crusu's stories portray."

Zhang Xingfeng said: "The 100,000 immigrants, all of whom were insane, died in madness and fear, as if they had experienced unimaginable horrors, and in the process of exploring the universe, many people suffered from 'deep-sea phobia', resulting in more than one million deaths, and the physical dangers in space did not kill many people, but from the fear of the human body itself, it killed countless people." ”

"Boss, this universe may be far from being as simple as we imagined, unknown and terrifying things may really exist."

Zhang Xingfeng looked in awe.

"Black hole, can you eliminate the so-called Crusoe?"

Wei Ming asked lightly.

"I don't know, but be careful, this universe may be far more dangerous than we think."

"I'm more inclined to the 'small black hole devouring theory.'"

At this time, scientist Long Tianhao said: "It may be that the third group of migrant trains happened to encounter a wandering black hole passing by, and fell directly into the black hole, so that it was too fast to send a distress signal." ”

"Massive black holes are easy to detect, and the mass of this wandering black hole should not exceed 3 blue stars, and because the speed of the migrant train is too fast, it has no time to brake and avoid the reaction, so it directly enters the small black hole."

"That's a coincidence."

Chen Jian shook his head and said: "The universe is so big, but it just happened to crash into a wandering black hole, this probability is more difficult than winning the super jackpot, I am more inclined to 'alien capture theory', that immigration train, may have fallen into the hands of aliens." ”

"Let's say it's a small black hole, or an alien waiting in the net."

Wei Ming put his hands behind his back, looked at Xinghai, and asked, "Now that we are taking this route again, what is the probability of encountering them again?" ”

"Two shells don't fall into the same crater."

Female scientist Ye Chushu said in a crisp voice: "Even if it is a fixed trap, it is difficult to encounter it again in the universe where relative displacement changes are constantly occurring, we can only assume that the third group of migration trains has not disappeared, then we will be able to find its wreckage and investigate the real cause." ”

"yes."

Wei Ming nodded: "I was just hit by a large meteorite, and I died of fear and madness, the first and fourth groups of immigration trains, and finally passed the cause of the accident back to the solar system, but the mysterious disappearance is unacceptable, no matter what, I hope to investigate a result." ”

This universe is so fucking up!

More than 30 years ago, the "Migration Train Project", the first attempt of human civilization out of the solar system, the failure rate of up to 60%, the whole human race was scared and trembled, resulting in so far, except for the continuous launch of probes, there has been no new large-scale migration action, and few applicants have applied.

After all, no one wants to be the unlucky 60%.

Wei Ming's departure this time is also to inspire the confidence of human civilization, try his best to investigate the truth of the accident, and re-energize the fighting spirit to go far away.

Hasten.

The ecosystem continues to accelerate!

The acceleration of 0.2G lasted for a full month.

The Biosphere reached 0.41 times the speed of light, then stopped accelerating and maintained a constant speed.

At this time, the ship had crossed the Kuiper Belt and came into contact with a small amount of Oort clouds.

At this speed, the starlight is slightly elongated, the time expansion effect is quite obvious, and in the dark cosmic space, the ecosphere is lit up with countless lights, and this giant spaceship, with an indomitable attitude, stepped into the pitch-black, as if filled with countless horrors and wails in the deep sea.

But no one was afraid, because the clean spherical pitch-black thing in front of the Biosphere swallowed up all the cosmic dust, rays, high-energy particles, and small meteorites in the course ahead, gave everyone courage and confidence.
