Xie Heng stood outside the door, he could vaguely feel the pain in his forehead, but as long as he thought of Admiral Zhou in his heart, he was unconscious. There were only a few people behind him, because when all the ALC officers heard the news of the disbandment, they were almost ready to go back to the headquarters to pack their things, and the rest were ordinary operatives who wanted to take one last look at the chairman. He knew that his grandfather treated them very well, but he was strict with himself.

His family came. They had just witnessed the cremation with their own eyes, and their faces were painted with stark sadness.

His father held the urn with red eyes, then sat on the chair, covered his mouth and asked in a choked voice, "What's wrong with Admiral Zhou?" ”

"He was shot by a killer with a kinetic pistol. We were deliberately attacked, it was a Thunder-20 fighter. Xie Heng motionlessly looked at the AR cloud display in the emergency room, which was a crimson "First Aid Do Not Disturb" sign.

The killer is the driver, Xie Heng didn't know what to call the suicide, he had extraordinary courage, and he was equipped with the most high-end weapons. His true identity is still under investigation by the police.

A slight vibration caught everyone's attention, and a fiery serpent leapt into the sky from afar. Xie Heng subconsciously looked at the bracelet, he was sure that it was the place where the incident occurred, but why did it explode? He had one of the most terrible guesses in his mind: the Thunder-20 started to self-detonate.

The accident will be kept secret by the police, and everyone knows that if the whole world knows about it, public opinion and ridicule will come uninvited. And those citizens who are lucky enough to see and pick up their mobile phones to take pictures, the police will naturally invite them to tea.

"Dididi." Xie Heng's bracelet suddenly sent a video communication, and he carefully clicked to answer, secretly hoping that it was not his own guess - the fighter plane blew itself up.

"Honorable Major." The other man gasped.

Xie Heng looked at the smoky face and heard the whistling of a fire truck behind him, it seemed that something he was worried about had happened. He calmly asked, "How many people are injured?" ”

"Five police officers, they were surrounding the scene at the time, and the fighter plane suddenly exploded." Smokey Face spat on the ground with blood, and said, "I'm one of them." ”

"I'm sorry. Did the fighter pilot take it away? It won't ......"

"We have brought him back to headquarters, and now they also know the news and are still checking the body for bombs."

"Thank you, thank you."

"If Admiral Chou wakes up, please let us know immediately. This is a malicious attack, and the police will definitely investigate it thoroughly! "Smoky face cut the railroad.

"Okay." Xie Heng closed the call after speaking. He needs to sort out the causes and consequences of the attack, and the first object of suspicion is the ALC group of high-level officials.

For the rest of the day, everyone present was waiting for Admiral Zhou's good news.

When the AR cloud in the emergency room turned green with "Rescue Successful", everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The closed door slowly opened, and three nurses came out pushing the suspension bed, one of whom said, "He is out of danger, please follow us to the ward." ”

Xie Heng's grandmother nodded and said, "Okay." Others have also pandered to her voice.

The nurses pushed the beds ahead of the curve, but the ALC officers stopped, ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, we didn't help anything." That was an apology to Xie Heng and his family, and it was also a deep self-blame.

"It's good that you have this heart. Hurry home, it's almost 11 p.m. Xie Heng smiled and said that he was grateful that there were still people who cared about them at such a time, at least it proved that this world did not even have a glimmer of light.

The group sent Admiral Zhou to the ward.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, Xie Heng's family had already left, and they had to prepare for tomorrow's funeral, after all, representatives from countries from all over the world would attend. They will witness the end of a glorious era, a ridiculous world quickly built, and humanity seems to have lost interest in the starry sky, they just want to live to the end.

Xie Heng fell asleep quietly in his chair, and I don't know how long it took for Zhou Wujun to wake up suddenly. He woke Xie Heng up with a slight cough, he didn't want to do that.

"Admiral Zhou, you're finally awake." Xie Hengxi said with a smile, he rubbed his eyes and looked up at the AR clock on the wall, it was 4:50 in the morning.

"I woke up and I had new ideas." Zhou Wujun paused and asked, "People don't want to waste resources to build starships, do they?" ”

"That's right, all mankind has made great efforts in the exploration of extraterrestrial civilizations for more than 50 years, and now they can't see the results and are no longer willing to pay taxes. We do need a response. ”

Zhou Wujun said: "We need a vigorous scientific and technological revolution, as long as the problems of physics are solved, human beings can escape the solar system." I want to ......" Zhou Wujun paused for a second and said, "I beg you to study the antimatter curvature engine, which may be the only thing that humans can do at the moment." ”

"I do." Xie Heng said: "But I am a doctor of quantum mechanics, what theory can I start with?" ”

"Quantum Throw, this ghost is the starting point that leads humanity to find an extraterrestrial civilization."

"Okay, what do I do?" Xie Heng stood up and straightened his waist.

Zhou Wujun closed his eyes and replied softly: "Go to Area D, go and lead them to study, I have already sent you the address." I set everything up and waited for today. ”

Xie Heng raised his right hand in a dignified salute, and then immediately walked out of the ward. His goal has been clear, antimatter, quantum throwing, and curvature-driven, all three of which may not be connected, but are indeed holes that the edifice of human physics has not filled.

They are waiting to be revealed.

Bai Fengyi could no longer see the explorer fleet through the glass, and the firelight of the six starships had disappeared into the universe forever.

The Rescuer doesn't have much nuclear fuel, so after 10 days, the engines of all four ships will stop, which means that the rescuers will be drifting in the vast universe for about three months.

"Are you still watching? They are too far away. Botts came over and reminded, "Your body needs to rest, don't let yourself get too tired." ”

"Thank you, but we've only been sailing for 11 hours, and I'm really not tired."

Botz was silent for a moment, and when Bai Fengyi looked in that direction again, he suddenly asked, "Do you know what gravity is?" ”

"I don't understand, I don't know much about physics." Bai Fengyi replied briefly.

"Gravity fills the universe, it is always around us, we can't see it, we can't touch it."

"Is gravitational force also gravitational force?" Bai Fengyi asked with interest. In his knowledge, gravity is just a force and may have no other meaning.

"Yes, but gravity is confined only to matter, and gravity can transcend dimensions and time."

Bai Fengyi turned his head to look at it and said, "I feel that time does not exist at all, it is just a scalar quantity for human beings to describe the flow of energy. ”

"Bai Fengyi, you may be right."

"We live in darkness." Bai Fengyi smiled and left the glass window, he walked straight to the No. 1 space room and turned on the AR cloud display on the wall.

"Where are we targeted?" It was as if he was asking himself, and he was asking Bots.

Bots followed, tilting his head and replying, "The unknown galaxy below the ecliptic is even lower than the route of the explorer fleet. ”

"Is there a specific direction?" Bai Fengyi found a star map centered on the solar system, and he was curious to know the exact location of this unknown galaxy.

"You don't have to dwell on that."

"Really?" Bai Fengyi pressed a button and said, "A 100-light-year stereogram of this galaxy." ”

"Please ...... later. The holographic projection has unfolded. The system AI prompted.

In an instant, the lights of the entire space room dimmed and was filled with a holographic stereoscopic star map. Tens of thousands of starlight were suspended in the air, and Bai Fengyi found the solar system and gently held it in his hand.

"The sun is inside. Now I'm going to find the ε galaxy in the constellation Pojiang. As he spoke, he kept spreading his arms and searching below the ecliptic. Eventually, through the guidance of the AI, he discovered that galaxy. Since humans don't know much about it, the three-dimensional model of the painting is very simple.

Bai Fengyi carefully grabbed the star and put it back into the distance. He asked Botts, "Where are we located?" ”

Botz looked him directly and said, "I beg you, don't ask this question. ”

Bai Fengyi turned his head to separate the fixed 3D map of the ε system and the solar system of the constellation Bojiang, but asked the AI: "Where is the explorer fleet?" ”

"Already positioned for you." The AI quickly replied as a red dot flashed between the two galaxies. The location of the Explorer fleet is just below the ecliptic.

Bai Fengyi carefully zoomed in, and then found the unknown galaxy where the rescuer was going. It was just a white space, which couldn't help but make Bai Fengyi shudder.

"How so?" He looked at Botts blankly.

"You know, it's an unknown galaxy." Botz replied.

Bai Fengyi looked at his silicone face and directly turned off the holographic projection.
