Darkness, it devours the last rays of afterglow, in order to leave the sky to the bright stars.

A hovercar was parked next to the farm, and Bai Fengyi stepped down from it, and instead of letting the AI drive away, he gave it money to wait. Waiting for his last night on Earth.

Bai Fengyi happened to catch up with the dinner prepared by Rhodes, although it was home-cooked, but it was also very rich. Rhodes and his family were very welcoming to his sudden visit, but he had an indescribable feeling.

Bai Fengyi is about to leave the earth.

When the family heard the news from his mouth, they all behaved differently, and only Rod's daughter smiled and said, "Great! My brother is leaving Earth, so is he going to Mars or where? ”

"A place far away, about 10 light-years from the solar system." Bai Fengyi smiled and replied to this innocent child. Perhaps in the mind of Rod's daughter, there is no difference between 10 light years and 10 meters.

"Why did you change your mind? Decided to become an explorer? Rod sat closest to the door, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he saw the fire flickering in the trees in the distance.

"A person should always have the value of his existence, so I have found it now." Bai Fengyi suddenly thought of something, put down his chopsticks and took out a delicate box from his pocket, he continued: "It's not a priceless gift, please accept it." ”

He placed the box on the dining table.

"Thank you!" Rhodes was not happy, but still forced his joy to open it, and inside was a mechanical watch with a solid metal strap and a dial with little ornamentation. In this day and age, simple and unpretentious things are the most expensive.

"It must be expensive, right?" Rod's wife smiled and said that she wanted to do something, but when you think about it, all the assets of the family seem to be worth the watch.

Bai Fengyi looked outside the door, and the puppy lying in the yard suddenly stood up and roared at a certain luminous object. It was a spaceship, to be exact.

Rhodes subconsciously looked over and saw that the ship was landing, its tail spewing out blue plasma flames, and then extinguished, suspended on the ground only by the bottom anti-gravity engine.

"They're coming? The person who came to pick you up? Rod turned to look at Bai Fengyi and heard him reply: "That's right, there is a big time difference between Evel and the Century, it's time to go." ”

Rod didn't have much to say, he looked at his watch, it was 7 p.m. Calculating the time difference, the Century is around 10 a.m. He remembered that today was April 8th, and tomorrow was the date for the departure of the Explorer fleet.

It was Fang Chenxi and Su Mo who came out of the spaceship, they walked over together, and after getting closer to some houses, Fang Chenxi said, "Bai Fengyi, there is still some time before departure, do you want to wait a little longer?" ”

"No, let's go now, we don't have much time to delay." Bai Fengyi turned around and said goodbye to Rod again: "I'm very grateful to you for saving me, from beginning to end." I had been thinking about my coming for a long time, only to realize that it didn't make sense. Good bye! ”

"Goodbye! Bon voyage. Rod's mouth was open, but he couldn't speak. He quietly watched Bai Fengyi leave here, and then under the brilliant starry sky, he flew into space with the Falcon.

The next day, at half past three in the morning.

Bai Fengyi really couldn't sleep, he was about to be made by jet lag.

Now the starship is still very active, because a large number of crew members are landing. Some of them are people who returned to their hometowns yesterday to spend their last days with their families, and some of them are newcomers.

Bai Fengyi put on his uniform and left the dormitory. He was going to take a look at the dock deck, which was not only crowded but also docked with the Falcon. This may be his only spaceship, and it may be one of the few private vehicles among the Century's many aircraft.

There were a lot of people along the way, and their faces were full of joy, and they looked at the starship.

But he met Su Mo.

Su Mo was holding a supper and hurriedly left the cafeteria.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Bai Fengyi looked at the food in her hand, he happened to be hungry too.

"Do you want it too?" Su Mo picked up a piece of bread and asked him.

Bai Fengyi swallowed his saliva, shook his head and replied, "No." ”

He walked straight to Su Mo, reached out to remove the crumbs from her mouth, and when he saw that she didn't resist, he frowned again and asked, "Why don't you dodge?" ”

"It's so boring, waking up in the middle of the night just for this?" Su Mo gently pushed him away, then turned around and left.

If Bai Fengyi is a straight man, he is also a straight man who is a little crooked, and now what he has to do is not to fall in love.

After inspecting the parking deck, Bai Fengyi went to the data department, where there was the information he desperately needed, and he wanted to know all about the starship.

The journey is not far, it takes 5 minutes to arrive.

Bai Fengyi showed his identity to the AR cloud display, so the system prompted: Welcome to the explorer.

If he remembered correctly, the Explorer's power was equal to that of the Captain, and in some ways even higher than the Captain, but every one of his actions was monitored by the system.

"I need to see the Centennial details." He said.

"The information splint has been opened for you." "History, in 2194, the Centennial was planned and completed by Rhodes and his team, and construction began within 5 years. parameters, it is 648 meters long, 467.4 meters wide at its widest, and the hull is mainly made of titanium alloy. Loaded with 12 large-caliber laser cannons, and 6 ballistic space missiles. The main power is the zero-element crystal engine ......"

"Wait." Bai Fengyi suddenly interrupted it and asked a question: "What is a zero-element crystal engine?" ”

"A zero-element engine is an engine that uses element zero crystallization as fuel. Due to the huge crystallization energy of Element Zero, it is the best source of energy for starships during long-term acceleration. ”

"And what is Element Zero Crystal?" Bai Fengyi grabbed a word and continued to ask, he had never heard of this thing.

The AI patiently replied: "Element Zero is a zero-element entity, which is purer than the zero-element of any living being, but the current amount of discovery on the earth is less than 1 ton. After 3 seconds of silence, it said, "Did you make the last introduction?" ”

"Of course." Bai Fengyi replied without thinking.

"Parameters, the Starship Century has 17 decks, Deck 1 is mainly the bridge, and Decks 2 and 3 are the parking decks...... There are also other small innerliners. It can be loaded, with a full capacity of 750 people and a full cargo of up to 7,000 tons. ”

"Alright, please tell me where the hibernation zone is, I don't want to go the wrong way while hibernating." Bai Fengyi asked with a smile.

The AI replied: "Deck 10 and Deck 15 are combined, and rooms 5~10 are all dormant areas. ”

Bai Fengyi nodded, he suddenly looked at his identity card and asked, "I want to know the goal of the Peace Tie Project, or the route." ”

The AI refused, "You don't have permission to view!" ”

This question is more like asking Bai Fengyi himself.

"Okay then." He sighed in frustration, and as soon as the words fell, the door opened, and it was He Chuan who was standing outside.

"Hello." He Chuanpi said with a smile, he observed Bai Fengyi for a few seconds, and asked a question: "Explorer Bai Fengyi, it's getting late now, aren't you going to rest?" ”

"What about you? Did you come here at three o'clock in the morning just to talk to me? Bai Fengyi sneered after speaking.

He Chuan ignored him, and he walked over to another AR splint and began to check the safety of the system.

"What are you doing? I'm telling you, you don't have access to the data here. Bai Fengyi walked over curiously, he looked at the data on the AR cloud display, but he couldn't understand a word.

"As the ALC Minister of Security, I have the authority to conduct routine inspections, and I advise you not to stay in this place."

"Why? I think I should keep an eye on you so that you don't plant some kind of virus into the starship system. Bai Fengyi stood beside He Chuan, and he suddenly found that his power could suppress this unruly minister of security.

He Chuan pressed the physical button, and then turned to look at Bai Fengyi, which was a look of doubt and disdain. He said with a dark face: "Don't use the identity of an explorer to pressure me, go and rest now, it will start to sleep at 8 o'clock." ”

After He Chuan finished speaking, he left without looking back, Bai Fengyi looked around, the dim light was exactly what this point should look like, and all the programs were running normally. It was a few minutes before he left.

Bai Fengyi returned to the dormitory but did not rest, he always felt that he still had something to do, but he couldn't figure it out until 7 o'clock in the morning. It was as if someone had held it in the palm of his hand and wouldn't let him know.

When the bracelet received the dormancy prompt, Bai Fengyi knew it was time to go. According to the map, he needed to take elevator 3 to reach deck 11.

After Bai Fengyi underwent a doctor's physical examination and confirmed that there was no dormancy, he changed into protective clothing. He then went to the hibernation room belonging to himself and other high-ranking personnel, and compared to the simple simulation of hibernation by the AI, he entered the hibernation pod.

It's uncomfortable. At that moment, Bai Fengyi felt a low temperature that he had never felt in his life, and when the dormant panel was closed, his consciousness gradually disappeared with the temperature.

Tranquility pervades his world, taking him on a journey across time.
