Chapter 001: The Legend of the Companion Bird of Bliss

When Liu Hanfeng woke up, he felt so cold! To be exact, he did not wake up naturally, but by freezing. As far as the eye can see, there is a white mist slowly drifting everywhere, and the whole world is as silent as death, as if only Liu Hanfeng is left.

He slowly stood up, moved his limbs briefly, and soon confirmed that his body was intact, and he didn't find anything unusual, but he didn't have any clothes on his body, and Liu Hanfeng was surprised to understand that he was really alive.

However, in his last memory, he was already dead, how could he wake up? How is this possible!

It stands to reason that no one can survive the heat of more than 5,000 degrees, so why did he survive? In astonishment, his mind returned to before the accident......

Previously, he and three scientific researchers, on a spaceship, when performing the first zero-distance mission to investigate the sun at zero distance, had just entered the photosphere of the sun, and the refrigerant in the outer layer of the spacecraft suddenly leaked, causing the spacecraft control cabin to heat up rapidly, reaching 50 degrees in just two minutes.

After all, the temperature of the sun's photosphere is as high as more than 5,000 degrees, once the refrigerant leaks, the damage to the spacecraft is fatal, in the control room like a sauna, the four astronauts are sweating like rain, nervously controlling the spacecraft to quickly leave the surface of the sun, but how they control the spacecraft to no avail, because the spacecraft thrusters are also caused by the sudden high temperature caused by the system failure.

Although Liu Hanfeng and the scientific researchers immediately started the data transfer procedure before abandoning the ship and escaping, the heating speed in the spacecraft was too fast, and only five minutes later, the system voice alarm indicated that the temperature in the cabin was almost close to 60 degrees, and there was a rising trend, obviously they did not have enough time to upload all the scientific research data to the military satellite, and then enter the escape capsule to escape safely.

If this continues, once all the refrigerant on the outside of the spaceship is lost, the spaceship will be melted by the high temperature on the surface of the sun in an instant, and the entire spaceship and everything inside will be burned into gas and evaporated in an instant.

In order to avoid the destruction of the valuable scientific research materials in the spacecraft, and in order to protect the lives of all scientific researchers as much as possible, Liu Hanfeng, as the person in charge of this scientific research expedition, was not afraid of danger, calmly took the other three astronauts, quickly removed the hard disk in the core computer host of the spacecraft, and held a part of the most precious space sampling materials, constantly entering and exiting the escape capsule, and making preparations before emergency evacuation.

Unexpectedly, Liu Hanfeng inadvertently found that due to the rapid rise in temperature in the escape cabin, some lines failed, resulting in serious damage to the oxygen supply equipment, and it was no longer possible to ensure the oxygen supply necessary for the safe evacuation of the rated number of people, that is, even if everyone entered the escape cabin, they would die due to lack of oxygen on the way.

Due to the limited space of the escape cabin, one less person can be loaded with more valuable scientific research materials, and it can also save the amount of oxygen, so Liu Hanfeng immediately made a decision, concealed the fact that oxygen was insufficient, and secretly decided to give up his escape opportunity and let the other three scientific researchers escape safely with as many scientific research materials as possible.

The other three colleagues, two men and one woman, and Liu Hanfeng are all space scientific research elites who have returned from studying abroad together, and they are also professionally trained astronauts.

Especially the female scientific researcher named Jing Ruxue, who is also the fiancée of Liu Hanfeng's childhood sweetheart, originally decided to complete this five-year solar system scientific research mission and return to Earth, and get married as soon as she returns to China.

However, at this moment, Liu Hanfeng could only endure the most difficult reluctance in his heart and make this heartbreaking decision, that is, to exchange his death for the friend he cares about the most and the opportunity to give birth to the woman he loves the most.

So when Liu Hanfeng saw that the other three astronauts had finished moving the scientific research materials he requested into the escape capsule and were wearing spacesuits, he quietly loaded the last batch of scientific research materials into the escape capsule, and decisively started the escape capsule launch procedure.

At the same time, the automatic alarm system in the escape capsule issued a voice prompt that the oxygen content was insufficient, and at that moment, Jing Ruxue and the other two astronauts suddenly understood Liu Hanfeng's good intentions for suddenly leaving the escape capsule, that is, to leave the limited oxygen for the three of them.

And the consequence of Liu Hanfeng staying alone on the spaceship is to turn into ashes with the runaway spacecraft, but they can no longer stop the launch procedure of the escape capsule, and it is impossible to pull Liu Hanfeng back into the escape capsule and return to the space station closest to the sun together.

Just when Liu Hanfeng passed through the gap where the escape hatch had not yet closed, he reluctantly stared at his best friends and lovers who had already put on the spacesuit in the escape cabin, and said goodbye silently, but he didn't expect Jing Ruxue to suddenly start the self-destruction procedure of the spacesuit on her body, and at the same time that the spacesuit instantly turned into dust, she took off into the air and flew to the hatch that was about to close, and actually squeezed out of the hatch sideways in the last two seconds before it was completely closed, and pounced on Liu Hanfeng in hysterical tears.

"Don't! Like snow, go back quickly! Liu Hanfeng's face changed greatly, and he rushed forward like crazy, wanting to send Jing Ruxue back to the escape cabin, but it was too late, and the escape hatch was completely closed.

With a loud bang, the escape pod was ejected and flew away from the sun, and under the huge rebound force, the spacecraft flew even faster towards the interior of the sun. At this time, the refrigeration equipment on the outside of the spacecraft was finally completely scrapped, and under the high temperature of more than 5,000 degrees on the surface of the sun, the spacecraft soon erupted into a huge fire and began to melt rapidly.

While seeing her whole body burning, Liu Hanfeng also witnessed Jing Ruxue, who had already pounced on her arms, and her clothes quickly burned, and then her skin had many blood blisters, and the blood blisters exploded quickly, causing her whole body to fester, and then even her bones were shattered one after another, turning into flames, and soon disappeared.

"Hanfeng, I will always wait for you in the next life, you must marry me, okay!" After turning into a flame, there was a faint sound of crying as quiet as snow.

"Like snow! I promise you that I will marry you in the next life! Wait for me to ......" Liu Hanfeng shouted at the flames in grief, and his whole body turned into countless flames and dissipated.

Before he lost consciousness completely, he saw in a trance a colorful bird flying towards him, the size of a palm, and its whole body was covered in brocade feathers.

Its head is jet black, with a few strands of golden yellow feathers similar to a crown standing on the top of its head, the feathers on its body are purple-red, dotted with a little golden yellow fluff on both sides, and a long curly emerald green tail floating behind it.

When Liu Hanfeng recalled the beautiful bird he saw at the end, he felt even more incredible, why did he have such a wonderful hallucination before he died, could it be that the bird saved him?

According to the memory in his mind, Liu Hanfeng could conclude that the beautiful bird should be the bird of paradise, also known as the bird of paradise, because he once watched a documentary about the bird of paradise on the Discovery Channel on TV.

But why can you see a bird of paradise on the surface of the sun? Even a spaceship made of special metal could not withstand the ultra-high temperatures on the surface of the sun, so how could this ordinary bird survive.

Liu Hanfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling that he was thinking too much, maybe he wasn't alive now, just an illusion after death, because he couldn't believe that he was still alive anyway.

However, he remembered that in the documentary about the bird of paradise, the film crew had interviewed a mysterious old man who was more than 200 years old, and the reason why he was mysterious was because his identity could not be queried, and no one knew his exact origin. The wrinkled old man also rested on his shoulder an extremely beautiful bird of paradise, and he told an extremely interesting legend in front of the camera, that is, according to legend, there is a bird of paradise of the most noble blood, which lives in the sun.

Not only can they withstand the enormous heat, but they can also enter the core world of the sun, which is a magical country called Elysium, which is so miraculous that a large number of birds of Elysium live in it.

Each person in it is born with a companion bird of paradise, and from then on will wholeheartedly protect the owner for the rest of his life, once the companion bird dies, the owner will also die quickly, and if the owner dies accidentally, the companion bird will not live alone.

There is also an imperial city in this magical country, but ordinary people cannot enter this imperial city, unless this person really has a pure bloodline bird of paradise, and can enter the imperial city through the most selective review.

And once entering the imperial city, after the baptism of the imperial city's sealed divine spring, the bird of paradise will evolve into a divine bird, according to the purity of the divine bird's bloodline, it will be canonized as the title of five grades, the highest grade, the lowest fifth grade, as for the master, it will also be promoted to the corresponding status, and the second grade or above can also become a member of the royal family.

If someone can get the canonized Divine Bird, they can also leave the Imperial City or even the Sun with the help of the Divine Bird and go to other planets to settle and live. It's just that once you leave the sun, you can't go back.

At the end of the interview, the old man also joked that the bird of paradise on his shoulder was a first-class divine bird, he was originally a first-class citizen of the Elysian world at the core of the sun, and he was still a member of the royal family, but he was just curious and forced the bird of paradise to bring him to the earth, but he could never go back.

Regarding the old man's unbelievable words, the reporter who interviewed him also laughed and praised the old man's humor, and Liu Hanfeng also laughed after watching this show at that time, and didn't take it to heart.

But at this moment, Liu Hanfeng fantasized that what the old man said was true, if there was really Elysium in the sun, if there was really that magical bird of paradise, then he and Jing Ruxue might have the opportunity to go to that Elysium that everyone yearns for.

It is said that the reason why the bird of paradise is called the bird of paradise is because this bird can take people to the most magical paradise and live a happy life without contention, and this has always been the life that Liu Hanfeng wants to give a life as quiet as snow.

Just when Liu Hanfeng stood there stupidly and fell into memories and fantasies, he didn't notice that in the white fog behind him, an extremely beautiful bird flew towards him quietly, if Liu Hanfeng turned around and saw this little bird at this time, he would definitely be surprised, because this little bird was the bird of paradise he saw before he died.
