Chapter 606: One Hundred Years of Solitude (2)
In the end, Zhong piloted a Shadow Leopard-class cosmic cruiser towards the Ancient Silicon Star.
Of course, his two cores were ancient silicon stars, and the various descendants were still in the alliance.
……
"Führer!" Fan Lijia, commander-in-chief of the Third Army of the Helic Planetary Fortress, had just arrived.
"Lijia, I'm just going to come over and take a look, you don't need to accompany me, I'll return to Mars later." Huang Haojie is still looking at the starry sky.
"Uh...... Okay, then what does the Führer need to call me. Fan Lijia hurriedly retired.
He knew that Huang Haojie liked to investigate everywhere in the alliance, and as for the reason for coming to Planet Helik, Fan Lijia didn't dare to guess, after all, the Führer did things, since the Führer didn't say it, he had better not be smart.
In fact, Huang Haojie just came to send loyalty.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the platform, he stood quietly for more than ten minutes, then turned around and left with an expressionless face.
Stepping into the quantum portal, he pressed the code that led to the Martian utopia, and in an instant he transformed into a quantum state.
Martian Utopia City.
Quantum Teleportation Station.
Huang Haojie walked out alone, and suddenly he came to a holographic cinema on a whim.
I ordered a movie by myself, and it was a movie with the theme of starry sky adventure.
He appears alone in the movie, as if he is a historical spectator, quietly watching the characters in the story, their love and hatred, their life and death, their joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
This is the first time he has watched a movie alone, and before he got married, he didn't go to the cinema again except for watching movies three times with a few ex-girlfriends.
After marrying Guo Ting, I have been busy following, and the time I spent watching movies with Guo Ting was no more, no less, no more than three times.
That sense of loneliness comes naturally, and perhaps I understand the meaning of watching a movie alone in my life list, that human beings are really paradoxical creatures.
The protagonist pilots a space battleship and dies with the enemy, and the movie ends.
"Maybe that's loneliness, the loneliness of the lone wanderer."
Huang Haojie pushed open the door of the holographic experience cabin, looking at the utopia city in front of him as if it was a world away, sometimes he always wondered, if there were no memories of those parallel time and space, what would be his fate?
Maybe I'll marry an ordinary woman, have one or two children, and spend the rest of my life in mediocrity; Maybe I'll be a single dog for the rest of my life, leaving the world quietly in loneliness.
The fickle life, who can say clearly, cherish the present!
……
Ma Wu is still leading Explorer 2 to explore various galaxies in the Orion cantilever galaxy.
At this time, Explorer 2 was already 173 light-years away from the closest galaxy to the Alliance, the Beiluoshimen Galaxy.
Many of the older crew members have retired or left Explorer II, and many new faces have been added.
"Captain, your coffee." Logistics Officer Austin?? Edison placed a cup of coffee next to him.
Ma Wu glanced at this girl from the Galactic Era, with delicate facial features, perfect curves, and a new generation of blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Austin replied with a heroic gesture.
"You don't think I'm an old man from the Common Era, do you?" Ma Wu picked up the coffee and joked.
"How could it be, the captain is very m." Austin said with a smile.
After Ma Wu took a sip of coffee, he asked with interest, "Austin, why did you choose the boring space exploration?"
After all, there are remnants of the concept of the Common Era, and women rarely choose careers in the military or astronautics.
Austin thought for a moment and replied, "I think the sea of stars is fascinating, and when I was a child, I wanted to be an astronomer, and I could see the stars up close and personal, isn't it worth my visit?"
"Haha......" Fang Haibo laughed: "Let my brother take off the stars for you." ”
"Really?" Austin said noncommittally.
"You can pick the stars with your hands, can you catch the asteroid?"
"Lao Fang, you're hungry for others, right? You're cheap. ”
"You are not greedy, you eunuch."
"I said everyone, don't play the stalks of twenty years ago."
The crew laughed.
After all, the life of the expedition voyage is really very monotonous and boring, and the crew can only occasionally joke about meat jokes and the like.
"In other words, hasn't there been a breakthrough in space jumping technology yet?" Fang Haibo turned his head and asked Ma Wu.
Ma Wu shook his head helplessly: "Not yet, even the curvature engine has been stuck at 50 times the speed of light." ”
"Our missiles can't do 107 times the speed of light, why can't the spacecraft do it?" Fang Haibo asked in surprise.
"Although the spaceship and the missile are both flying machines, there is still a big difference between the two, uncle, you should recharge." Austin hit Fang Haibo mercilessly.
"Uncle......" Fang Haibo received 10,000 critical hits in his heart: "Xiaoting, my brother is only 48 years old, a proper teenager." ”
"Hehe, you are a person from the A.D. era, and you are almost an old cucumber at the age of 48 in the A.D. era." Austin continued to hit him.
"Old cucumber? (⊙x⊙; Fang Haibo was speechless for a moment.
"Haha......" The crew members looked at Fang Haibo and were stunned, and suddenly laughed so much that people turned their backs.
After a while, Ma Wu looked at the time, then at the star map, and immediately ordered: "All of them are ready, ready to exit the state of migration." ”
Everyone got serious.
The curvature engine turned off, and Explorer 2 appeared in an unfamiliar starry sky, not far away from a star system.
"This is HX146879 numbered star system, named Reef Galaxy, the Alliance has scanned here before, and there is a living planet." Fang Haibo said seriously.
"Justice, does the Alliance have protons over here?" Ma Wu asked calmly.
"Yes, although there are not many of them, there are still some protons distributed here." Kobayashi reported.
"Retrieve the database collected by Proton."
"Hey."
After a while, the information of the reef galaxy was called up, and Ma Wu carefully looked at the information.
[Reef Galaxy: Location...... Fixed star...... There are a total of 6 planets, and the living planet is the third planet, numbered Reef D, with a radius of 7614~7725 kilometers...... ]
"It is a primitive life planet, the type of organisms is carbon-based, and no intelligent creatures have been found for the time being." Fang Haibo said on the side.
"There's nothing to see on other planets, let's go straight to Reef D!" Ma Wu commanded.
“OK。”
Explorer 2 entered the leap again, but instead of the ecliptic plane of the reef galaxy, it flew perpendicular to the ecliptic plane.
The main reason for this flight is to avoid disturbing the interior of the reef galaxy.
Arriving at a distance of 15 units from the upper side of Reef D, Explorer 2 exited the transition state and used a photonic engine to approach Reef D at 60% of the speed of light.
For about three and a half hours, Explorer 2 was moored in orbit about 600,000 kilometers from Reef D.
After the cockpit opened the deck of the observation window, everyone intuitively saw the planet not far away.
A blue planet very similar to the blue star, with some earthy yellow and grass green areas on it, looks alive.
Reef D also has two natural satellites, Reef D1 and Reef D2.
"It's like a blue star!" Kobayashi sighed.
"No, it's a little bluer than the Blue Star, which has more than 84% of the ocean area and about 15.4% of the land." Fang Haibo said.
"Prepare, release some protons and reprobe." Ma Wu commanded.
"Roger."
Explorer 2 then released 100,000 protons to pass over Reef D.
