Chapter 2: Dreamland: Sleepwalking in the Sea of Stars (Ask for Collection)

Du Qiu's father used to be the deputy chief of the criminal police corps, and he did his homework in the office of the corps since he was a child, and most of the criminal police officers in the corps knew him.

He used to think that he would become one of them, but he didn't expect to discover some details of that childhood incident in his junior year of high school, which made him almost break with his father.

Even Du Qiu gave up applying for the police university, and chose Huhai University to major in mechanical engineering, and obtained a doctorate degree in mechanical and electronic engineering in only six years with his intelligence.

Until more than a year ago, my father joined the peacekeeping police and left the criminal police corps.

Who would have thought that that time would be goodbye.

More than a month ago, Du Qiu received a notification from Uncle Tang that an earthquake had struck the area where his father was on duty, and the peacekeepers had sacrificed five people, including his father.

Two of the five were from the Modu police, and three were from the Sioux Provincial Police.

A grand memorial service was held on the part of the magic capital.

It was also at the memorial service that he met his ex-girlfriend Zhang Mingliu, who had broken up and had broken contact for two years.

Zhang Mingliu's elder brother Zhang Shangqing is another sacrificial police officer from the magic capital.

"Du Qiu, Du Qiu...... Don't you have an accident......"

As soon as he put on the headphones, Du Qiu heard Zhang Mingliu's chatter from the headphones, and then realized that he had forgotten to hang up the phone just now.

"Liu Liu, I'm fine, in a few minutes, I'll be at the door of your community."

After Du Qiu finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and went down, and the car suddenly accelerated forward.

Just a few minutes later, Du Qiu picked up Zhang Mingliu at the gate of a community, and saw that her clothes were wet, and it was estimated that the umbrella in her hand would not work when she ran.

It can be seen how frightened and panicked she was at that time.

Du Qiu sent her back to her residence, and after listening to Zhang Mingliu's intermittent narration, she realized that she was working overtime temporarily tonight and came back late, so she would encounter such an incident, but fortunately she hid in a convenience store on the road for a while.

Du Qiu comforted with a bit of a joking tone: "Maybe it's your crush, deliberately tailgating and scaring you, and then looking for an opportunity to reappear to comfort you, but I didn't expect to be ruined by me." ”

Although Zhang Mingliu is a woman, she has a strong personality, and now that Du Qiu appeared by her side and returned to her home, she suddenly recovered a lot.

After listening to Du Qiu's words, he couldn't help glaring at him and said, "It won't be you, and you still miss this girl, so you deliberately followed and scared me." When I call you, are you secretly having fun? ”

"I'll miss you with all my heart?" Du Qiu was trying to argue with her like he had done in the past, when he suddenly saw her wet appearance, and suddenly his heart softened.

He immediately continued: "Hurry up and take a hot bath, or you will catch a cold." I'll go back first, there's still something to do. ”

The moment he opened the door, Du Qiu turned around and explained, "Lock the door!" ”

"Hey, are you really leaving?" Before Zhang Mingliu's words fell, the door was closed.

Zhang Mingliu looked at the closed door, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

The two broke up for almost two years, and even though they were in the same metropolis, they never interacted with each other again.

If it weren't for the reunion on that sad day a month ago, we might have really died of old age.

Two years, not long, not short, but after seeing Du Qiu again, Zhang Mingliu found that he hadn't forgotten him at all.

++++++++

Du Qiu, who returned to his residence, did not think much about what happened at night.

In fact, he went to bed immediately after a simple wash, and turned off his phone because he didn't want to be disturbed and interrupt his good dreams.

For the past month, Du Qiu has been sleeping with anticipation every night.

Because since he fell asleep on the crystal pillow given to him by his father, he began to have some bizarre dreams every night.

Oh no, not every night.

It was six nights in a row, and on the seventh day there were no dreams.

That is, this kind of dream is to stop for one day every six days.

At the beginning, Du Qiu didn't know exactly what was in the dream, but in the latest round of dreams, he could already remember the content of the dream relatively clearly.

It was precisely because he remembered the content of the dream that Du Qiu felt very strange.

At first, the dream he remembered was actually in the vast, pitch-black universe.

Although he is a doctor of engineering, he has also seen photos of the United States Space Agency, and he has experienced various interstellar science fiction movies in the IMAX theater.

But none of them were as real as the space he saw in his dreams.

It felt as if he was in space, and he could look at the starry sky from all directions.

The deep darkness when moving away from the star system, the blinding light when approaching the star, and the stellar light that becomes colorful when the planet is reflected up close......

The galaxy he saw in his dream was so clear and real that he felt infinitely melancholy every time he woke up.

Some of these star systems are like the solar system, and in addition to stars, there are a large number of planets of all sizes.

There are also galaxies that have two stars, and two or three, or three or four, planets revolve around the central point of the two stars.

There are also star systems, like the solar system's neighbor, the Trisolar, that have three stars, and there are still planets in them.

There are also star systems with four stars, that is, standing on the planets of such a galaxy, you will see four "suns"

……

Speaking of stars, Du Qiu has seen all kinds of stars in his dreams, some are main-sequence stars like the sun, and there are also white dwarfs, giants, and supergiants.

Every night in his dreams, Du Qiu could see hundreds of star systems, and it felt like he was swimming in a sea of stars.

Just traveling hundreds of star systems in one night, I don't know how many times faster than the speed of light.

Just when Du Qiu thought that tonight was the same as the previous dream, he was still wandering in the sea of stars, and he found that the feeling of traveling in the sea of stars tonight was a little different.

He felt as if he was following a certain path through the sea of stars, and the starting point turned out to be starting from his own blue star.

The first thing that catches your eye is the most familiar celestial body - the moon, and soon the moon is left behind, passing through the orbit of Mars, followed by the asteroid belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune......

The process of passing out of the solar system lasted only a few seconds, followed by the endless void, Du Qiu was not familiar with the sea of stars, so he did not know which constellation direction he was heading in now.

Soon, however, he felt as if he had passed Sirius, a very bright star in the dome, and Du Qiu was somewhat impressed.

But it was also so fast that it was impossible to see the inside of the Sirius system, which was very different from the previous dream.

gave Du Qiu the feeling that he was in a hurry under the stars.

Over time, Du Qiu became a little numb, and he couldn't figure out the direction anyway, so he simply continued to interpret from the dream.

Suddenly, he felt like he was walking through an endless darkness where there were no stars.

The darkness seemed to be extremely vast, and Du Qiu didn't know how long it had been, and when he saw the galaxy again, he let go of his nervousness.

It's just that after crossing thousands of star systems in a row again, suddenly he fell into endless darkness again, and just when he was a little flustered, a voice seemed to sound in the depths of his consciousness.
