"We're going to have a big operation in the near future."

Yan Ru's information made Jiqing very interested, as far as he knew, the mission goal of the Shennong was very simple, that is, to return to the earth, bring back the information of Renhe civilization, and in order to achieve the greatest chance of success for this ultimate goal, it could give up everything.

"What action? Isn't your mission only to help the Earth? I'll do the math...... It's still early, isn't it...... The first phase of the mission was successful? There's an echo on the other side of the Earth? ”

"No, the signal has lasted for nearly a hundred years, and the earth still hasn't moved at all, but it's not surprising, it's been thousands of years since Kuafu left, and no one knows what the earth has become, and many places may be changes in the vicissitudes of life."

"The vicissitudes of life, the old saying is that sixty years is a jiazi, sixty years can be a matter of people, a thousand years of time changes, I don't know what happened to the earth." Jiqing also sighed, he knew that no one could answer this question now, "Why haven't I heard that you have other tasks before?" ”

"I also felt strange when I received the order at first, this operation seems to have been added to the overall plan suddenly, but the staff and route planning department must have been informed for a long time, because they were always called together two years ago to open and closed door meetings, and the content of the meeting was kept strictly confidential, and the crew members of a few departments, including the radar department and the power department, should have known about it."

"So mysterious, what kind of task, has it been given now? Can you let me know? ”

"The mission is...... Reception. I heard that the preparations have been completed long ago, the ship-wide notice has just been issued, the level of secrecy is not mentioned, and the plan should have been submitted to the General Headquarters. ”

"Return to the warehouse?" Jiqing immediately thought of the sleeping heroic pioneers on the route, and the original Kuafu planned that in order to optimize the allocation of resources, all the crew members who were not suitable for continuing the voyage would enter the reentry warehouse to freeze.

With the continuous acceleration of the Kwafu spacecraft and the increase in distance from the Earth, the return bin can only remain on the channel, and under the action of inertial force, continue to follow the footsteps of Kwafu, until one day the Kwafu can complete the mission and embark on the return journey.

This return project gives all crew members a promise that when the Kwafu project succeeds, humanity will bring back these heroes. Although this opportunity is slim, it has given generations of crew a huge psychological support, so that they can have more full motivation to complete the task of Kuafu.

But to this day, although the Kuafu plan has succeeded to a certain extent, the human race has not yet been able to receive the return warehouse, and there is no breakthrough in the technology of thawing the human body, which means that the frozen crew cannot be revived even if it is thawed.

"No, it's a small drone."

"Drones? Is it the kind that is used for maintenance? Jiqing thought he had heard something wrong, he had also operated the drone during training, and it was generally used for maintenance and close-up exploration missions, with a small space and no cockpit, and in special cases, it would carry an emergency life support system, and there was only one storage space for replacing parts and materials.

Shennong actually received a small drone on the way back to Earth, how was this plan considered? If there is any problem, Shennong's nearly 100-year efforts may be ruined, and it is impossible for Kuafu to rebuild a return spacecraft without the assistance of Renhe civilization, and even if it can be rebuilt, the connection with the mother planet will be extended for another few hundred years.

Hundreds of years! There are many more generations that will miss the opportunity to connect with the earth.

"According to the issued parameters, it should be a drone for maintenance."

After Qing got the definite answer, he was even more confused, this kind of aircraft is a consumable, and it is not surprising that it is left on the channel, the question is that Shennong will definitely consume a lot of energy and time in order to accept the mission this time, in astronautics, these two are the basis of existence, for a small drone, is it worth it?

"We are thinking about these things, and we can't guess anything, and opening our minds can only produce rumors."

"Haha, yes, but I'm still interested, remember to tell me if you have any new news."

"Okay, no problem, don't talk about this, what have you been doing lately?"

"Me? If you don't mention it, I forgot to tell you, but I found some interesting things in the database. ”

"Database? Do you mean, the original database? ”

"Clever! Thought of it so quickly. ”

"Do you still have to guess? What else can be interesting except for the information brought from the earth, the boring space voyage, and the disaster? However, the original database was destroyed by the gravitational wind, and there is not much information left! ”

"Well...... Since your departure, the staff data team has been working hard to recover data from the legacy equipment, and recently it has achieved some results, from the newly discovered recovery of a lot of data from several hard drives rescued from the Pangu, most of which has been exposed to the central information center. ”

"That's good news, I wonder how much has been recovered?"

"There is no way to know this ratio, after all, there is no way to predict how much data will be brought from the earth, and the Pangu and Nuwa were destroyed by gravitational winds very early, and the storage equipment left behind is too old."

"Gravitational wind...... It's terrifying for humans...... Tell me what you find. ”

"It's supposed to be the personal information of some of the first generation of crew members, but it's not too personal, it's some casual books."

"Books are very interesting, although I can't understand a lot of the content, but the descriptions in them make me feel good."

"After all, we haven't experienced that kind of living environment on earth, there is a description called resonance, there is no resonance between us and the author, so most fiction books can't be understood."

"I also realized later, the feelings turned out to be so complicated, I always thought that the people in the book had mental problems, and simple things had to be completed for a long time, if they had been returned on the Kua Father."

"Haha, you're right, what I found this time is different, it's related to us, guess what."

"We? Is there anything special? Working every day, resting, sometimes looking at the stars in a daze, I can't guess. ”

"This time I finally stumped you once, in fact, it's our life, running to outer space and exploring the universe."

"Exploring the universe? Just like what we can write, I don't think it's as interesting in the world as it is in my father's world. ”

"The book will definitely not be like ours, it is completely some bizarre fantasies, the speed of light, wormholes, space folding and so on are all simple foundations, the Milky Way is the back garden of human beings, and galaxy clusters are places that can be reached by sleeping, it really opened my eyes, and some of them made me laugh until my stomach hurt."

"Huh? Does anyone really write such a book? You can't make it up yourself, do you? It's like it's hundreds of generations of sailors to get to the nearby stars, how does it feel like migrating when humans were still monkeys? ”

"Really, it's true, I'll apply for data permissions to send you some later, it may not be too much, after all, there are a lot of million-word articles."

"Such a big data, well, then I believe you, you shouldn't be able to make up so many words."

"What I just said is not the most exaggerated, there are also human beings who can manipulate the planet and change the universe with their own power, and the power of the spirit can also create a new universe."

"Hahaha, you managed to amuse me this time, to be honest, I can feel the feeling of your stomachache, I hope you can teleport them over as soon as possible."

"I knew you were also interested, and I would pick a few more bizarre ones for you."

"You've read it all? Impossible, right? If you have a million words, dozens of books have tens of millions of words, and it is no problem to read it for ten years normally. ”

"This kind of book, how can it be so laborious, most of the content has no specific meaning, I can sometimes read thousands of words in a minute, and only when I encounter a bizarre place will I read it slowly. And the content in it is very homogeneous, I found that many books, even in the same book, the plot is the same, but the place and the name of the person are changed. To be honest, except for the first one, which was a little fresh, I basically read it skipping. ”

"It doesn't sound interesting like this, you can send me less, this waste of resources makes me feel a little guilty."

"I'll pick some, in fact, there are also some types, technology, superpowers, spiritual power, and content like ancient myths and immortals, the idea is still quite interesting, but it's too detached from reality, thousands of years have passed, and the development of human beings seems to have made great progress, but compared to the universe, it's as if there is no progress,"

"Human beings are really too small to know what the people who wrote those works will think when they can see that the world is so unbearable in a thousand years."

"It should be unbelievable, this is my idea, and it is also the answer that reality gives to mankind."

"You say that human beings can achieve the kind of world described in the book."

"I don't know...... All I know is that I can't wait until I arrive at Tianyuan IV. ”

"Don't compare with me, how miserable I am, now I'm at the door, but I can't get in!"

…………

"Hello."

A familiar voice came to the mind from far and near.

"Hello, Zhao Qian?" I don't know why, Ji Qing quickly realized who the other party was, the last time he woke up, he has been unsure if his dream is just an illusory coincidence, everything is the information generated by the random combination of memories in his brain, just like other dreams have no meaning, but that special feeling in the dream has been haunting him. So he had been longing to go back to that dream again, to make sure of his feelings, and to communicate with unknown voices, Ren and civilization, a very mysterious and great word for the Kuafu crew and the civilization of the earth.

"It's me." The voice replied cautiously, and after saying this, he stopped, and did not mean to continue, probably for fear of disturbing the other party's thinking again.

"You're a Renhexing?" Jiqing wants to make sure again.

"Yes, in your language, I am a living being of benevolence and civilization." The other party didn't use the word "person", and I don't know if it's a difference in understanding the word.

"Last time you said, you asked me for help?" Jiqing thought of the other party's last words last time.

"Yes, is that okay?" There is no emotion that should exist in this sentence, as if he is stating an ordinary sentence, but Jiqing feels the other party's pleading feelings, he thinks about it strangely, and attributes the reason to the particularity of the dream, everything in the dream cannot be inferred with common sense.

"Can't you?" The other party seems to feel Jiqing's unusual mental activity.

"No, I didn't refuse, I just wondered, why did you contact me? It stands to reason that you should contact the Kwafu Command directly, where there is more authority and you can get more help. ”

"I ...... No. Because it's just my own business. ”

"Private?" Jiqing didn't know much about the Renhe civilization, and due to the difference in the foundation of civilization, most of the crew and even the top of the fleet had not come into contact with the life form of this civilization. Jiqing only knows that the individuals of this civilization are huge, live in an environment full of specific radioactive elements, are good at manipulating microscopic particles, and drive the transformed planet to travel the universe, and are the saviors of the first generation of Kuafu.

"I can help you, but I need to know what's going on." At the beginning of his gratitude to benevolence and civilization, Jiqing had no reason to refuse the other party's request, and he believed that for such a civilization that had selflessly helped mankind, he would not do anything to endanger Kuafu.

"Great, but I don't have anything to pay you."

"No, no, you're too polite, it's right to help each other, just like you helped us in the past."

"Thank you very much for your kindness, I want to ask you to help find my brother, Zhao Kun, he left the family, I have a feeling that he seems to be near your spaceship, and it may also be on your spaceship, I'm not sure."

"Youren and the stars have come to the Kuafu?" Jiqing's first feeling was impossible, such an important thing, it stands to reason that it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Kuafu, and there are ......

"Are you sure? Did he come in a spaceship? Also, can you survive on the Kuafu? "The living environment of Renhe living beings is completely different from that of humans, which is why the two races have not been in close contact so far.

"I don't know, we don't need to take a spaceship for short-distance spaceflights, relying on our own energy, we can generally survive in the universe for more than a hundred years, if we don't change our state of motion often, it will be longer, and there should be no problem on your spacecraft."

On your own, more than a hundred years? What a powerful living being. Jiqing felt that he had received a major news about Renhe civilization.

"Then you should contact the Kwafu Command, they must know about such an important matter, and they are willing to help you...... Wait, private matters? Could it be that Zhao Kun came to Kuafu's name without permission? Will it be ...... if it is made public? Penalties from the state or organization? ”

"You can't say that, you don't know our traditions, I'll explain it briefly. In our civilization, there is no concept of national and regional organization, there are only families, and our families are not inherited by blood, but by knowledge. After the initiation of each new individual, they will join a family according to their own wishes, engage in the development and inheritance of family knowledge, and there are several family units in the family, which complement each other and depend on each other. Because of the characteristics of our lives, we generally do not change the direction of our knowledge, so the individual in the family will be a very stable component. ”

"Of course, there are special circumstances, when individuals in the family have a new understanding of their own knowledge system, and think that their research direction is different from the direction of the family, they will take the initiative to ask to break away from the original family and establish a new family, this situation rarely happens, and the rarest case, a single individual leaves the family, and Zhao Kun is the case."

"Breaking away from the family, Zhao Kun's behavior does not represent your family, that is to say, he has the freedom to act on his own."

"Yes, he is an independent family and is not bound by my current family."

"Then why are you looking for him?"

"We used to be members of a family, thinking in the same direction, close family, but for some reason, he suddenly decided to break away from the family, even the family, and soon broke off contact with me. Normally, this is his freedom, but for some reason, I have a desire to contact him and find out why he left the family. ”

"I can understand this feeling, which is called concern among human beings, because you are family."

In fact, this lying sentence was said to a sincere alien life form, and Jiqing himself regretted it a little. The inheritance of human beings on Kuafu no longer has the concept of family, and there are only collectives and organizations. He also got the concept of family from the data, maybe something buried deep in the genes, he felt that he could understand the feelings of this family, and another point was that as a human being, he did not want to inherit alien life and did not understand his own cultural traditions.

"Care...... I know the meaning of this word, but I can't understand it very well, and my current thoughts and actions can be interpreted by this word, and I think it is strange that I have been influenced by your idea of blood relations in the process of studying your life forms. ”

"Psychological effects?" Jiqing does not understand the form of benevolence and civilization, and cannot be sure whether human thought can be used as a reference.

"Then how did you know he had come to the Father Kuafu?"

"I can't be sure, but Zhao Kun suddenly became very interested in human civilization some time before he left, and he deviated from his original direction of thinking and began to indulge in another direction."

"In what direction?"

"I don't know, he never talked to me, as if he was deliberately hiding it from me. This is very unusual, under normal circumstances, when we have a new direction of thinking, we will actively express it to the individuals in the family, in order to listen to the opinions of others, improve ourselves, correct our thinking mistakes, or win more individuals, in preparation for the establishment of a new family...... However, I know that he has contacted your crew members today, and I have a feeling that Zhao Kun may have gone looking for that person, or ...... Accepted the other party's invitation. ”

"Contact? Do you mean this way? ”

"Yes, this is one of the results of our research on human life, due to the difference in our life forms, it is impossible to communicate without relying on external auxiliary equipment manufactured later, fortunately, in the early stage of our two civilizations, just when everyone was working hard to achieve communication, some family members found another way, this method to achieve communication with humans in the dormant state of the left brain, Zhao Kun called this method a dream."

"Dream? How do you come up with that word? ”

"The meaning of dreaming is that other forms of life form influence the thinking of the human brain in some way, change the inherent dream, so as to achieve the way of communicating with humans. This should be the definition of dreams! ”

Zhao Gan's explanation made Jiqing feel that the word dream was indeed very appropriate to his current situation, and it seemed that Renhe Civilization's research on human language had reached a certain level. But on the other hand, it was strange that his own dreams were dominated by someone else.

"Why did you give me your dreams?" Jiqing didn't plan to continue his research on this issue, and there was no point in arguing about the interpretation of an Earth word and an alien.

"Although the way of dreaming is simple, almost all benevolent and civilized individuals can use it through a period of practice, but not all human beings can receive the information of our dreaming, the principle involved in this is not very complicated, in short, it just needs some kind of fit between two individuals of different civilizations."

"It's like a communication device that has already set the built-in acceptance band!" Jiqing can understand this so-called fit, and the principle of the sleep chamber is the same, and Ren and the civilized individual do not achieve this effect through the instrument, which makes him very surprised at that time.

"Do you need me to find this crew?" Ji Qing understood the other party's thoughts, after all, for Zhao Kun, who could live alone in the universe for a long time, this crew member on the Kuafu was easier to find, and he would have a certain range of interpersonal relationships.

"Yes, as long as you find him, you can contact Zhao Kun."

"What about after finding Zhao Kun?"

"I ...... I don't know, I just want to know if he's okay now. ”
