It's not easy for humans to feel the universe.

Standing at the top of a skyscraper, there will be a sense of condescension.

Standing on a kilometer-high hot air balloon and looking down can be dizzying.

However, if you look down from a high-altitude airliner, the sense of altitude is weakened.

If you look down from a flight orbit hundreds of kilometers high, the so-called sense of altitude even begins to rely on some imagination.

In fact, it is very difficult for the human senses to grasp the very large scale.

Therefore, when the universe reaches a certain level of grandeur, it will be far beyond our imagination and depth of thinking.

……

The Forsaken spaceship continued to fly in the dark, deep, and infinite space of space.

She was a lonely leaf, floating in the inky water.

She was silent, not even the slightest ripple.

Her destination is the heart of the galaxy.

Her relative flight speed is about one-tenth the speed of light.

She has been flying continuously for 60,001 Earth years.

She is nearly 20,000 light-years away from the finish line.

……

On this day, the lighting, temperature control, air convection and other systems of the Forsaken spacecraft returned to normal operation.

Another 10,000-year-long dormant period is over.

Buzz ~ Buzz ~ Buzz ~

The hibernation pod slowly opens with a continuous sound.

However, the person lying inside did not wake up in time.

It took about 10 hours for the hibernation pod system to beep.

"The health sign values are normal, the heartbeat has returned to normal values, the body temperature has begun to recover, and the breathing condition is good......"

However, the people inside are still in a state of confusion.

Another 2 hours passed.

The lying man's eyeballs were rapidly rolling under his eyelids.

His two rows of teeth clenched tightly together, his face painful.

"Ah......h

Finally, after a low moan, he opened his eyes with difficulty, ending the long dream.

"Who am I?"

"Where am I?"

"What am I doing?"

These three problems have become problems for the ages.

Although he was unable to move, his eyes were beginning to become clearer and his vision was gradually recovering.

He shook his head with difficulty, resisting the twisted pain in the deepest part of his brain.

"I'm ...... Huake Mirror...... Oh. ”

"Hibernation pod, the Forsaken spaceship......"

"I'm on my way to Silverheart......"

He finally figured out the answers to three questions.

"Little music."

"I'm here."

"Why do I feel like I have an excavator in my brain?"

"You're still weak."

"Didn't you do that? You're going to put stuff in my brain. ”

"It's not funny."

"I've never seen you laugh. Well, I'm hungry......"

"Sorry, you can't eat right now."

"It's always okay to drink some water, right?"

So, a straw floated on the right side of the sleeping cabin, and Hua Kejing slowly opened its mouth, and a warm clear stream slowly flowed down.

……

A few hours later, Hua Kejing was still not satisfied after drinking some nutrient solution.

He leaned back on the recliner and said to Xiaole, "Can you eat something decent?" ”

"What's a decent thing?"

"Meat, for example."

"No way!"

Xiaole decisively refused, and said that he could only start eating solid food after a week of digestive monitoring.

"Meat eaters despise, can't they plan far ahead, right?"

Faced with Hua Kejing's absurd question, Xiaole was silent.

"Alas...... I'm now more and more appreciative of the luxury of eating meat, even if it's stiff meat that has been frozen for tens of thousands of years at near absolute zero. ”

"It's been frozen for tens of thousands of years, but the nutritional quality can still be guaranteed."

"How much meat do we have?"

"30.1 kilograms of pork, 11.5 kilograms of chicken, 9.9 kilograms of beef, a total of 51.5 kilograms."

"Uh...... That's it......"

Hua Kejing muttered to herself, frowning slightly, what a fucking luxury.

He remembered the formula E=1/2*m(c*0.1)^2.

But because the head is still mushy, it is impossible to calculate how many tons of TNT equivalent energy it would take to accelerate one gram of meat to 10% of the speed of light, or 30,000 kilometers per second.

The price of wanting to eat a bite of meat is also great.

Luckily, the Forsaken is powered by the most energy-efficient antimatter engine.

But Rao is so, every extra gram of stuff on the ship is a luxury.

Sure enough, it's a meat eater!

Hua Kejing: "Thank you. ”

Xiaole: "Thank you for what?" ”

Hua Kejing: "You know, there's no need to ask me, hypocrisy." ”

Xiaole: "You were the first to be hypocritical, I'm just an artificial intelligence." ”

Hua Kejing: "Hey, hey, hey......"

The interior of the spaceship was quiet again, and Hua Kejing fell asleep in the recliner with a distorted smile on his face.

……

20 hours later.

Hua Kejing opened his eyes again with difficulty.

"Here it is...... The Forsaken? ”

"Yes."

An ethereal voice replied.

"You're Xiaole."

"I'm Xiaole."

"Xiaole, I'm thirsty."

"I've got warm water for you."

"Xiaole, I want to eat meat......"

"Nope."

“……”

"Your digestive system hasn't recovered yet."

"Okay, let's get some nutrient solution."

So, with the help of the robotic arm controlled by Xiaole, Hua Kejing swallowed about 300 ml of nutrient solution and 50 ml of thin liquid food.

"We've been flying for more than 60,000 years." Hua Kejing continued to lie down and asked.

"60001 years, 248 days." Xiaole replied leisurely as usual.

"How far is it from the Silver Heart?"

"The Forsaken is 19,442.9 light-years away from the center of the Milky Way."

"It will take 200,000 years, and I will have to dormant for 20 reincarnations, will I be able to hold on......"

Hua Kejing was silent for a while, and then fell asleep again.

……

This time, Hua Kejing was awakened by Xiaole.

Because he has slept for more than 20 hours, which is not conducive to health and physical recovery.

From now on, Xiaole will gradually reduce the single sleep time of Huake Mirror according to the plan until it returns to a normal level.

This process lasts for at least a full Earth month, and will gradually lengthen with the number of dormant times of the HUAKE mirror.

Because

Such a long period of dormancy will cause irreversible damage to physical health.

……

The recovery period of an Earth month has finally passed.

The physical function and health indicators of Hua Kejing have barely recovered to the basic level.

At this moment, he was looking through the porthole, silently, lonely, in the direction of Silver Heart.

How deep and vast the universe is!

And the most beautiful scenery in the world is also the magnificent galaxy in front of you.

However, no matter how gorgeous and colorful the scenery is, there will be a moment of aesthetic fatigue after all.

Interstellar travel is certainly a feast for the eyes, but aside from the gorgeous appearance, there is only a long and boring time left.

Time flies, and thousands of sails have passed.

Hua Kejing hibernate all the way, it is indeed a dreamlike trip.

As soon as the eyes are opened and closed, 10,000 years have passed, and a few more rounds, 60,000 years have passed.

I don't dare to say anything about youth and aging, and Shaohua is fleeting.

Such a long time has long been more than just a pig-killing knife.

sighed for a while, Hua Kejing couldn't help but take a long breath.

At this moment, the Forsaken was maintaining inertial flight, so the whole ship seemed very quiet, like a sleeping old aunt.

Isn't that the old aunt?

Although the Forsaken was built using the best materials and technology, and condensing countless wisdom and sweat crystals, after all, after flying for more than 60,000 years, many components have deteriorated.

So in the next month, it's time for Huake Mirror to help repair and troubleshoot.

The ship loves him, he loves the ship.

……

I don't know how long I watched, Hua Kejing turned around and walked to the other side of the spaceship.

Because he left the artificial gravity area, he began to float in the air.

Stabilizing his posture a little, Hua Kejing continued to look out through the porthole.

In that direction, the brightest star, is the homeland of human civilization.

"Are you homesick again?"

"Can you not want to?"

"Do you still want meat?"

"Can you still eat it?"

"You can still eat 15 grams today."

"It's a luxury."

"Or build you an arithmetic model that you can eat in the virtual world?"

"It's free, it's easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it's difficult to go from luxury to thrift. I'm afraid I'll never come back after I've enjoyed my life. ”

"Do you regret it?"

"No regrets."

Hua Kejing couldn't remember how many times Xiaole had asked like this, but this time he answered quickly and resolutely.

"Will you consider returning home, it's still too late to return."

"Not considered."

"Would you consider going to other galaxies?"

"Are you afraid I'll die on the road?"

"It's not all."

"So, you don't think I'm going to make it?"

This time Xiaole did not answer.

I don't know how long it took, Hua Kejing asked again: "Xiaole, if it goes well, where should the Galaxy City be?" ”

"If all goes well, the Galaxy Capital is still 0.5 light-years away from Stellar Celestial Four."

"Well, if it goes well......"

……

The Forsaken spaceship continues to fly forward in the vastness of space.

Beyond the spaceship is a pitch-black cosmic deep space, and except for the occasional asteroid and distant stars that appear in the distance, the surrounding scenery is always the same.

Today, it's time for Hua Kejing to go to sleep again.

He checked the ship one more time before heading to the hibernation chamber.

Airplanes...... Airplanes...... Airplanes......

Press the palm of your hand on the unlocking area and the hatch cover slowly opens.

After some set-up, Hua Kejing lay down inside the sleeping pod.

"Little music."

"I'm here."

"See you in 10,000 years."

"See you in 10,000 years, what do you want to remember this time?"

"Hey, I'm going to launch a rocket."

"Okay, good luck with the rocket!"

So, Hua Kejing closed his eyes in the misty sleep aid.

As a result, the lighting, temperature control, air convection and other systems of the Forsaken spacecraft were turned off again, and it became gray and cold, like a lonely meteorite.

I salute every friend who has been with me all the way, thank you for your support!
