The reality is that it takes an average of 1,000 years for the Forsaken to detect a single speck of dust or boulder at a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers.

As for an obstacle of the level of an asteroid, in the past 70,000 years, the Forsaken has only detected one from afar!

It is an elliptical irregular asteroid with a diameter of 7 kilometers and is rich in a variety of precious metal minerals.

If this was in the age of the earth, it would have been cut off by Muyu Aerospace's deep space resource development team a long time ago.

But today's Forsaken spacecraft is eager to stay away from it, for fear of being collided with bad luck.

Based on the above, Xiaole has calculated that the probability of a threat-level collision on the Forsaken during flight is only 1 in 1 (there are 50 zeros in total).

Yes, the safest means of transport on earth are far from being able to achieve such a safety factor.

"Then we're worried about a ball!"

Hua Kejing fixed a tool around his waist, and then floated in the air and smiled.

"Compared with gravel and dust, in space, the greatest threat to spacecraft is actually cosmic rays, because long-term radiation exposure may lead to the aging of machinery, which can cause equipment to malfunction......"

"That's why we had to sacrifice speed to add thick armor to the front end of the Forsaken spacecraft."

"Without armor, the Forsaken's final speed could be doubled."

"That would have to fly for hundreds of thousands of years."

……

The strange question of Warcoscope is certainly not just about the Forsaken, what will happen if it encounters a meteorite during its "dormant flight"?

Normally, he would also ask Xiaole, what would happen if he had an accident and died in space?

Is it rotten?

Will it freeze?

Or will it explode?

So, what exactly happens if a person dies in space?

Whether it is dying on a long journey to space hibernation,

Or losing control during a spacewalk on an overhaul spacecraft,

Or is it suddenly exposed to a vacuum without a spacesuit......

What exactly happens?

In fact, when Hua Kejing honestly stayed inside the Forsaken, when he was quietly looking at the starry sky, he basically didn't think much about the serious question of life and death.

His greatest fear of an honorable death was when he left the Forsaken for a spacewalk.

Because every time I am in the ethereal dark deep space, Hua Kejing's heart will soar, depressed, claustrophobic, and feel intensely lonely.

In short, all kinds of unhappiness, for fear of accidents.

Thankfully, this rarely happens.

In the past 70,000 years, Hua Kejing has only left the Forsaken and spacewalked, and there have only been 3 times before and after.

The first was to replace an aging and malfunctioning detection antenna.

The second is to replace a piece of protective armor on the front of the ship.

The third time was to replace another piece of protective armor.

……

Of course, this can't be blamed for Hua Kejing's cowardice, after all, he used to be a steel plate human with a tenacity value of more than 100 points.

One thing to say, no one wants to die in space.

What's more, he still has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he must not become a situation where he dies before he gets out of school.

Xiaole didn't like such questions.

So just answer briefly: "Depending on the circumstances of death, your body will appear to be frozen, shriveled, slowly decaying, or decomposing normally." ”

Hua Kejing was not satisfied with such an answer, he wanted to know more.

So, Xiaole went on to tell him more details.

The first is the most basic scenario of death in space – being exposed to space without wearing a spacesuit.

Under normal circumstances, this unfortunate human has only 15 seconds to 2 minutes to live.

During this time, the water in the body starts to expand due to the lack of air pressure.

If you hold your breath, the air in your lungs expands, causing your lungs to rupture and quickly killing you.

If the average person does not hold their breath, they can remain conscious for up to two minutes. At the same time, cosmic radiation will begin to burn his skin.

However, before the time became serious, he was already suffocated to death.

If you were on Earth, the corpse would begin to decompose, as the bacteria in the air and the bacteria in the body began a long process of decomposition.

Because bacteria cannot survive and multiply in space, nor can they carry out oxidation, the body does not decay, but freezes (if not near a heat source) or becomes a mummy (all the water will be expelled from the body), and all biological processes are quickly stopped and the body is not further decomposed.

In such a situation, if nothing else happens, the frozen or mummified body could wander through the universe for millions of years.

……

Then there is the situation of wearing a spacesuit.

Because the spacesuit contains the air exhaled by the human body, if there is enough sustained heat, a person's death in a spacesuit is not much different from that on Earth.

The bacteria in the body will break down the body, and while the bacteria will quickly deplete the remaining oxygen in the suit, when the oxygen is depleted, the anaerobic process will then take over.

This means that the respiration of bacteria will turn to fermentation.

However, it is quite unlikely that there will be a constant heat source inside the spacesuit to prevent the body's temperature from dropping to near absolute zero, unless it is continuously exposed to solar radiation.

Wrapped in a spacesuit, floating around in space, and letting the body slowly decay, it really doesn't sound good.

But this will certainly not be the final destination, because the radiation in the universe will gradually break down the material of the spacesuit.

This process can take a long, long, long time, but eventually the spacesuit will be damaged.

As a result, the pressure inside the spacesuit is released, and the rapid expansion of the air will lead to a small explosion that will then destroy the spacesuit and the decomposing corpse inside.

"Alright, please don't say any more."

Hua Kejing suddenly thought of a very unfriendly picture.

"Isn't that what you're asking?" Xiaole asked rhetorically.

"I was wrong."

Hua Kejing lowered his head sincerely.

……

After all the maintenance work, Huakejing has the last day of rest.

After a day, he will lie down again in the cold hibernation pod and begin the 8th hibernation cycle.

At this moment, through the porthole of the core cabin, Hua Kejing stared at the distant cosmic star path.

The starry sky is always the most fascinating view in the universe!

Although everything will eventually be reduced to boring in the long interstellar travel process, when he thought that he was about to enter a long dormant period, Hua Kejing suddenly felt that this deep and distant universe was getting better and better.

The background is as dark as ink, and the stars that are embedded in the brocade cloth are shining.

Although it was too far away, the starlight seemed lonely and cold, but in the star-studded galaxy, countless bits and pieces of light were gradually merging together, enveloping the entire canopy in a holy atmosphere.

And the heart is quietly sublimated in this holiness......

Hua Kejing's mind was immersed in the white Milky Way, and unconsciously, he recalled the experience of the Earth era.

On a clear summer night, he once stood on the top of Tianzhu Mountain in Lucheng and looked at the Milky Way in the starry sky.

At that time, the shape of the Milky Way was as graceful as a long, white ribbon.

And now, with the shift of the observation position, the Milky Way has been intertwined in the eyes of Hua Kejing, turning from a ribbon into a flat and narrow oval.

Of course, if you look closely, you can clearly distinguish several cantilever arms of the Milky Way galaxy even from your current position.

Such as the Perseus arm, and the Orion arm, where the solar system is located behind him.

The Milky Way, white and boundless, cut the entire celestial sphere, and looked away like a rushing rapids, pouring for thousands of miles.

Hua Kejing's heart is infinitely emotional, this is the Milky Way!

In the traditional Chinese culture, the Milky Way has many beautiful and moving stories that make people reverie.

And now, step by step, she is getting closer to her core, although this journey will be a long, long time.

"Do you regret it?"

Xiaole's voice suddenly sounded.

"No regrets."

Hua Kejing replied habitually.

"Do you really not regret it?" Xiaole asked again.

"It's too late to return now." Hua Kejing asked rhetorically.

"It's too late, the last hibernation cycle was the return node, and after the node, there won't be enough fuel to slow down the return."

"Since I can't go back, why are you asking me?"

"If you turn to other galaxies now, then there's still a little bit of a chance."

"Hehe, are you afraid that I will die on the road?"

Xiaole didn't answer, she chose to be silent.

With a long sigh, Hua Kejing asked the old question again: "Xiaole, if it goes well, where should the Galaxy City be now?" ”

"If it goes well, the Galactic Capital has already reached Stellar Celestial Yuan IV 5,002 years ago."

"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 extremely occasional asteroids and distant stars that appear in the distance, the surrounding scenery seems to be forever unchanged.

Now, 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." Hua Kejing greeted.

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

"Whatever you can dream about, it's what it is."

"Have a good dream."

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!
