The best way to face loneliness is to think.

When a person is trapped in eternal loneliness, the only way to help him stay human, not to lose sociality in loneliness, is not to let his thinking stagnation.

Recalling the past, analyzing the present, and looking forward to the future are the only things that a lonely person must do.

Chen Feng didn't understand this truth before.

Even when he was the most withdrawn teenager, he never really tasted the loneliness of complete isolation.

There are always people around him, even strangers and enemies, they are also human beings, and they will also intersect with him.

Now he doesn't really understand.

He didn't summarize these truths, but his behavior quietly conformed to this law.

He just persevered in constant self-reminders, self-encouragement and self-encouragement.

For a long-made ambition, to live up to the ability to travel through time and space given by fate, not wanting to see the end again, and unable to give up the desire to see his fellow citizens break free from the end and get the future, he persevered until now.

This is an extreme situation, usually only in fantasy, like Robinson Crusoe in Robinson Crusoe.

But Robinson's hope is always remembered that there is his family on the other side of the sea, while Chen Feng's reason is that he will naturally return to the 21st century after death.

One is across space, the other is across time, which seems to be similar, but in fact they are completely different

Chen Feng's feeling is that he knows that day will come sooner or later, but there is always a sense of illusion and unreality.

In the past six months, this kind of mood has quietly emerged from the bottom of his heart, spreading little by little, soaking his heart like a silent spring rain.

Chen Feng has tried his best to resist, not to let himself be idle, even if he is busy all day long, as much as possible to stay sober, but it will inevitably be affected.

Now, the appearance of the song "Happiness to the Nth Power" instantly solves Chen Feng's unreality, connects him now with Zhong Lei thousands of years ago on this planet, and creates a new fulcrum for him.

Chen Feng sat on a chair, his hands on his cheeks, and his head raised at a 45-degree angle.

His eyes were wide open, his gaze was confused, and there seemed to be a bits of light jumping in his eyes.

After about ten minutes like this, he came back to his senses, and his eyes slowly condensed.

The myriad clues in his mind had crept together like twine, condensed into a complete plan, a rope large enough for him to climb the cliff.

Then Chen Feng quickly got up, went straight to the cab, first turned on the gravitational wave scanner on Chenfeng-1, and closed the scanning range to within 300 meters, just enough to cover all the corpses of the giant whale.

The purpose of narrowing down the scanning area is to improve accuracy.

Chen Feng held the mouse in his hand, dragged the screen on the LED display, and once again positioned it on the giant whale carcass that was generated like a 3D model.

After discovering the square box inside, Chen Feng didn't look at other places carefully, and he excavated it in a hurry.

If he hadn't returned to meditation and started to think carefully and comprehensively, he might have forgotten to continue to discover the secrets of the whale's belly.

He scrolls the wheel, zooming in and out, like an architectural engineer looking at a CAD drawing.

After about ten minutes, he really noticed something strange.

Deep in the whale's intestines, a folded area is a lot of "garbage".

This garbage is usually composed of the bones of marine animals that have been digested by giant whales, and is dominated by various large and small fish bones.

These bones will be slowly digested and become a source of calcium supplementation for the whales.

Chen Feng had noticed this pile of bones before, but he didn't care too much.

At the time, his focus was on finding the antimatter bio-cell components in the whale's body, but he was drawn to non-organic matter.

He had not narrowed the scanning range of the gravitational wave detector before, and the monitoring accuracy was not enough to accurately show the morphology of small and medium-sized fish bones, and he could only distinguish two or three complete fish bones of suspected sharks and large sailfish.

But now that Chen Feng took a closer look, he found some abnormal bones in this pile of fish bones.

Continue to zoom in and observe with the naked eye.

Chen Feng's brows tightened, and he quickly recognized what it was.

A finger bone belonging to a human.

One by one, he found more and more human bones.

Arm bones, ribs, leg bones...... and a large pile of skull fragments crushed underneath, large the size of a palm, small only the size of a fingernail.

Ten minutes later, he used his robotic arm to carefully pull out the pile of bones.

An hour later, Chen Feng glued the skull fragments together like a treasure map.

There was an unexpected surprise, I thought it would be broken, but the final product was very complete.

Half an hour later, Chen Feng used the program he wrote to complete the facial simulation reconstruction.

Looking at the photos on the display, Chen Feng sighed.

It's unexpected, but it makes sense.

The owner of this face is none other than Sergei.

According to the automatically recognized bone age, Sergei was in his twenties at the time of his death.

So Sergey is still dead in the end, and very young?

If it was Chen Feng before, he would have exploded in his mentality, but now he quickly adjusted, only sighed and continued to act.

He then operated the robotic arm to quickly put away the beach chairs, parasols, barbecue grills and other things on the shore, and immediately set off for his base where he was stacking materials in the coastal city.

He slept first, got up the next morning and began assembling the equipment.

In the evening, he built a half-life detector with a detection accuracy of 30 days with the disassembled part scanning probe on the quark meter as the core.

The test results showed that the age of the CD player was not very recent, less than 30 years ago.

Sergei's bones stopped showing signs of life in about the same age as the CD player, which is also less than thirty years old.

New doubts arise.

Meaning about 30 years ago, Sergei, who was less than 20 years old, died in the belly of a fish, and because of the unusual toughness of his bones, he hid in the belly of a giant whale with the CD player for 30 years.

On the surface, this seems reasonable, but in fact there is a logical loophole.

First of all, Sergei Ponomarenko was born in 2543 and should not change.

In this timeline, the year 2543 must be a time of war and chaos, but it is also a good time for Sergei to take advantage of the wind.

But 2543 is 477 years from 3020, and 437 years from 2990.

How could Sergey be less than twenty years old in 2990?

So I may not have traveled back in time to 3020, but around 2593?

But Chen Feng measured the half-life of some other things, and he can clearly identify himself as 3020.

The contradiction cannot be solved.

Chen Feng continued to forcibly deduce.

There are two more possibilities.

First, Sergei, who was not yet 20 years old, mastered cryonics and woke up more than 30 years ago before being swallowed by a giant whale.

Second, Sergei received technology that could rejuvenate and remained alive until his death thirty years ago.

But neither of these possibilities is realistic.

Assuming that the possibility is true, then if Sergei is really dead, and thirty years have passed, with the information transmission ability of the ZS bacteria and the connection between the ZS bacteria vector animals, the part of the hostile directive about Sergei should have gradually dissipated, but it did not.

Whenever Chen Feng wants to answer a question, he always gets more questions.

If it was before, he would have given up thinking, but this time he decided to continue to think deeply.

Gradually, a third possibility emerged from the depths of his mind.

Sergei cloned himself and set up a secret base, which he had been cloning himself with an automatically set default program for five hundred years.

The owner of that corpse was not Sergei, but a clone of him.

After every Sergei clone dies, every once in a while, a new Sergei will appear.

So, the animals have been chasing him.

When this judgment appeared, Chen Feng only hesitated for less than ten seconds, and then decided that this seemed to be only a possibility, but it was an inevitable conclusion at all.

So, a new emphasis emerged.

Where exactly is Sergei's secret base?

How much else is there in his secret base?

The quantum storm in Chen Feng's mind erupted again, and a huge amount of information gushed out like a fountain.

Although the giant whale killed by him was a mutant species, it should have been a blue whale before the mutation.

In the 21st century, what is the distribution of blue whales on the planet and what are the patterns of large blue whales?

Sergei's personal character and tendencies are revealed in his own life and deeds.

If automated cloning is to be achieved and such precise control can be maintained more than 400 years later, then Sergei must not only be the only one who is responsible for this technology, but also Lai Wenming, another genius in the twenty-sixth century who is older than him, is likely to be involved.

Then considering the personality traits of these two people, as well as the world environment at that time, as well as the life rules of the blue whale, Chen Feng gradually came to a conclusion.

The location where the giant whale ate Sergei's clone did not happen on the Asian continent, but on another Australian continent!

Australia has always been an enclave with a vast area and sparsely populated area, and it is far from other continents.

Sergei is a mad scientist who often comes up with crazy thoughts, and Lai Wenming is no better.

In the timeline where S bacteria first appeared, the place where Lai Wenming completed his self-sublimation and walked to the stage of history is also Australia.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there are some fateful ties between Lai Wenming and the Australian mainland.

So if these two join forces to build a base, they are likely to choose the enclave of Australia.

After making up his mind, Chen Feng took off decisively, crossed the Pacific Ocean, and flew straight to Australia.

Time flies, and he stays in Australia for another month.

During the month he continued to hunt animals and gather more information.

At the same time, he continued to explore the ruins of various sparse but still existing cities and towns in Australia, as well as the remains of roads such as large railway tracks that connected the settlements.

On the afternoon of June 1, 3020, Chen Feng input the reconstructed road network map, urban distribution points, and the comprehensive distribution of mutant animals into the server, and then put them on the large monitor in front of him.

He sat upright on the spot, his eyes condensed, and while scanning the map with his naked eye, he frantically urged his intuition in his mind to deduce.

After four hours, he slowly stood up, picked up his pen, and drew a small circle on the hand-drawn map of the Australian continent.

Advance!

Make a beeline for Hammersley Ridge!
