A spaceship,

A man,

It is the part of this deep cosmic picture.

Maybe we should add that ethereal alien artificial intelligence.

Such a combination flew over 90,000 years.

……

It's another hibernation cycle.

Since waking up a month and a half ago, Hua Kejing has been feeling a loss of appetite, and even the meat he was most looking forward to in the past, the chicken, duck and fish meat that he was longing for, is now not a little interested.

"A slice of beef and a piece of cod?" Xiaole asked him.

"Thank you if you don't eat it, it should be better to have some nutrient solution."

Hua Kejing waved his hand and rejected Xiaole's kindness.

Xiaole told him not to worry too much, this is a normal stress response, after all, after sleeping for too long, too long, the digestive system needs more time to recover.

But since ancient times, people have taken food as the sky, is there anything more distressing than sleeping on a pillow and eating unpleasantly, in this world?

Hua Kejing is definitely a smart person,

He knew very well that the days to come would only get worse and worse, that there was still a long road ahead of him that would last for 170,000 years, and that each dormant cycle would inevitably turn into a physically and mentally exhausting ordeal.

And it's likely to get worse.

Therefore, he must eat and drink, and he must adjust his state as soon as possible.

According to the plan, he will complete a total of 36 maintenance jobs in the next two dozen Earth days.

Excluding the obstacles eliminated by Xiaole during the dormancy, there are 6 more problems that need to be solved by Hua Kejing's manpower after waking up this time alone.

To tell the truth, the Forsaken has also begun to age, and if it is really a good reincarnation, time spares anyone.

"This one is troubleshooting, let's take a break."

"Okay."

At Xiaole's suggestion, Hua Kejing put down his tools and sat on the ground.

Because this is an artificial gravity zone, you can't see the starry sky very much, and even if you see it in some places, it is still in a state of continuous 360-degree rotation or roller circulation, and you will get dizzy after watching it for a long time.

"Little music."

"I'm here."

Hua Kejing suddenly thought of a question: "If human civilization can develop smoothly, 90,000 years have passed, and the level of science and technology should have reached a very high stage." ”

"If it can develop smoothly, it will at least be close to the stage of the big bang of science and technology. Human beings still have a lot of potential, and it took less than 10,000 years to break through the period of ignorance......"

"Hey ......" Hua Kejing sighed, "If we can really successfully pass the stage of the Big Bang of science and technology, the footprints of human civilization should be able to step on the surrounding star systems, and even plan to march to the entire galaxy and open the real era of interstellar development......"

Hua Kejing muttered thoughtfully.

"Oh, by the way, can humans build a faster-than-light spaceship, or some other means to easily catch up with the Forsaken and catch up with me?"

"Yes." Xiaole replied without hesitation.

"If that's the case, then what's the point of the 90,000 years I've worked so hard to fly."

Hua Kejing's face was heavy, and Xiaole was silent.

Obviously, human civilization did not build faster-than-light spaceships to catch up.

This topic is like an old scar that has not been uncovered for a long time, it has always existed in Hua Kejing's heart and cannot be easily touched.

But today it was finally uncovered again, and dark red blood flowed out.

So, Xiaole suddenly asked the question that he hadn't asked again for a long time: "Do you regret it?" ”

Hua Kejing shook his head: "No regrets!" ”

The moment he left the solar system and the capital of the galaxy, he knew very well that he would be greeted by a lonely journey of more than 200,000 years.

The road ahead is uncertain, and life and death are unpredictable.

Even if you finally make it to the core of the Milky Way, complete the mission and return to the solar system, the star Celestial Four, or some other place where humans live.

Because of the gap of hundreds of thousands of years, all the people and things that Hua Kejing knew before will change and disappear.

Those friends, relatives and friends, family members and children must have long since passed away.

From clothing, food, housing, transportation, entertainment and leisure, to aesthetic gaps and values, all humanistic pursuits at that time will evolve into a state that he can't understand.

Just as primitive people have traveled to modern society, Hua Kejing will become a person who is incompatible with it.

So, how will he bridge the gap in thinking, and how will he ensure that he can be accepted into the new era?

Abandon the glorious life,

Abandon family and friendship,

There is even a high probability that you will lose your own life,

And in the end, he becomes a person who is free from the new era?

That's the price to pay, and if so, will you regret it?

Thinking of this, Hua Kejing's eyes suddenly became confused.

This is not the case.

Because the premise of all this is that if human civilization can develop smoothly.

But there is no if, without this premise, everything will be empty.

……

After a short break, Hua Kejing began to continue the ship's maintenance and troubleshooting work.

He left the solar system at the end of the year 2041 in the Earth calendar.

That year, her daughter Hua Leyan was exactly 15 years old, the year of jasper, the year of broken melons.

She couldn't understand her father's choice, just as Hua Kejing couldn't understand her father's choice in the first place.

's father guarded the tomb for his comrades-in-arms for half his life, and Hua Kejing's departure was tantamount to abandoning his wife and daughter.

When the child grows up, he should have his own life, which Hua Kejing can still relieve.

But for his wife He Xiaomin, he is full of guilt.

Hua Kejing still clearly remembers the last time their family spent together in Jupiter's outer space, in the capital of the galaxy.

On the day of my daughter's fifteenth birthday,

He tells Xiaomin that when the Forsaken has enough antimatter fuel, he will leave.

Xiaomin was a little confused, because at that moment she hadn't even recovered from the impact of the girl becoming a wife, and suddenly her strange husband suddenly told her that she was leaving.

How could her brain circuitry accept it.

But in the end, she timidly asked Hua Kejing if she could not leave.

Hua Kejing was silent for a long time, shook his head, and told He Xiaomin that he had to go, because it was his responsibility.

No matter how slim the chances, he must go and get back what human civilization has lost.

……

Next, Hua Kejing gave He Xiaomin another box, and told her that the medicine in the box was the latest research results of the Academy of Life Sciences, and there was a high probability that it would be able to repair and heal her damaged brain.

Although she could not recall the past twenty years, she would never forget it day after day.

In addition, Hua Kejing also advised He Xiaomin to wait for him to leave the solar system before starting to take medication.

The reason is that in this way, in her future memory world, there will be no substantive memories of Hua Kejing.

If He Xiaomin was willing, she could even delete all the written and video records about Hua Kejing before the treatment.

In the words of Hua Kejing, if there is no shackle of the story of "Paper Short Love", He Xiaomin can start a new life.

However, that night, He Xiaomin took the medicine and began treatment.

……

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