Chapter 208: A Blessing from Earth
In the following time, Yuan Haochen carefully ate all the food. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
During the long interstellar journey ahead, Future's food reserves will continue to decline day by day, and will one day be depleted. Thinking of this, where would Yuan Haochen be willing to waste these precious foods.
To be honest, the food in space is not very delicious, but Yuan Haochen still eats it with relish, and he almost can't hold back, and he is about to start licking the plate.
This must also have something to do with the hunger pangs that have not eaten for a long time.
After training, Yuan Haochen knew that the first meal after hibernation should be strictly controlled, and he could not eat too much.
So, after a little bit of hunger, Yuan Haochen stood up, stretched and kicked his legs, and then walked back and forth in the lounge a few times.
After feeling some relief, he returned to the control center of the Mirai spacecraft.
Over the past year, the Intelligent Navigation Flight System has been working non-stop. Computers don't know what tiredness is, as long as they have enough energy, they can continue to work without malfunctioning, which is indeed a powerful ability that humans cannot match.
Hara began to check the flight records of the Future.
At the press of the button, the Intelligent Navigation Flight System displays:
Future has been flying for 1 year, 1 month and 2 days, and is currently 9,461 billion kilometers (about 0.5 light years) from Earth;
In addition to some data reports, there are a total of 4 email messages waiting to be viewed.
Yuan Haochen opened the message acceptance system and found that these 4 messages were all public attributes, and the most recent one was sent about half a year ago, and it turned out to be a video message.
He understood that it was not that the Earth Command Center did not send messages to the Future for the next six months, but that those messages sent later did not have time to catch up with the Future.
Messages from Earth's command center are traveling at the speed of light, and Mirai is continuing to fly forward at 50% of the speed of light. Therefore, the signal sent from the Earth will continue to catch up with the future at a relative overflow speed of 50% of the speed of light, which is a bit like the Olympiad chase problem that elementary school students often do.
According to the current time, as well as the distance between the Mirai spacecraft and the Earth, Mirage can indeed only receive the message sent by the Earth Command Center half a year ago.
"Please play in chronological order!"
Because they are all public information, Yuan Haochen did not hesitate to give instructions to the intelligent operating system.
After a few seconds, the intelligent operating system presents the four messages one by one in chronological order.
[Part 1]
"Hello the heroes of the Future. I believe that you should sleep soundly at this time, the command center has just received the data sent back by the intelligent operating system, including your physical health values in the dormant state, please believe that hundreds of millions of compatriots on the earth have been fighting side by side with you......"
[Part 2]
"This is a routine test of the communication system, and the intelligent operating system of the future number should reply as soon as possible after receiving the message. By the way, I wish the three outstanding representatives of the earth's civilization a good dream. ”
[Part 3]
"We found some fluctuations in the operating parameters of some of Future's equipment. Although after the analysis of the expert team, there are some minor problems, but for the sake of safety, please use the awakening time to test and troubleshoot the following equipment and systems. Equipment that needs to be tested includes: ......"
Suddenly~suddenly~
The electronic display suddenly lights up and starts to prompt a video message to play.
Because the last one is a video message, Yuan Haochen's heart is also full of expectations.
“happybirthdaytoyou~happybirthdaytoyou......”
A three-tiered giant cake first appeared on the screen, and a lot of people could be heard singing birthday songs.
The range of video footage began to slowly expand, and more and more familiar figures appeared in the camera, the commander-in-chief, Commander Chris, Commander Watt, Dean Frank, and other high-ranking people at the base, as well as many familiar work partners.
Seeing this, Yuan Haochen's heart couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth.
The birthday song quickly ended, and the crowd immediately erupted in extremely enthusiastic applause.
"Hara Chen, Smith, and Lynn, I wish you all a happy birthday!"
The applause finally subsided, and the commander-in-chief walked up to the camera with a kind smile on his face and a birthday hat folded from a card on his head.
"It's only been half a year since you left Earth. But, if you do the math, by the time you see this video, you should have just woken up from your hibernation. The commander-in-chief continued with a smile.
"My dear children, because of hibernation and, of course, communication delays, the timing of this birthday party is a bit unfortunate. However, we still do not want to miss your first birthday celebration in the universe. Bless you and hope you can return triumphantly soon! ”
"Well, we did have a birthday present for you, so I won't say anything more, I hope you'll like it."
With that, the commander-in-chief smiled and exited the camera.
"Birthday gift ......" Yuan Haochen's heart was inexplicably touched.
Soon, two extremely familiar figures of Yuan Haochen appeared in the camera.
"Mom and Dad...... How are you guys? Yuan Haochen stared at the screen and couldn't help but greet softly.
"Son, we're fine."
Mother's loving voice sounded, as if they had guessed Yuan Haochen's thoughts.
"Rest assured, the alliance and the country have always taken good care of us." The mother smiled and continued.
"You are so far away in the universe, and you have to take care of yourself. Although it is far away, the hearts of Mom and Dad will always be by your side. The mother still had a smile on her face, but Yuan Haochen still sensed her mother's increasingly uncontrollable emotions.
"You've always been a good boy who makes us feel at ease, you've grown up, you've ......," the mother could no longer speak, and she began to try to calm her agitation.
The father took his mother's hand and held it tightly in his palm.
"Son, like we talked about the last time you came home, Mom and Dad will always support your ideals." The father looked at the camera and said slowly.
"I already know what you have done for all of humanity over the past so many years. Dad is just an ordinary person, the vast universe is far away from me, and I can't say anything about all mankind. However, I'm so proud of what you've done! Do you remember when we were kids, we counted the stars together by the stream......
"Son, goodbye! Remember to write back to us. ”
"Goodbye, Mom and Dad."
Seeing his parents waving goodbye on the screen, Yuan Haochen couldn't help waving his right hand.
Suddenly~suddenly~
The video ends, and the screen dims again (the intelligent system filters the last relative message based on the identity of the person who opened the video).
With only the occasional sound of the instrument running, the Future was unusually silent at this time.
However, Yuan Haochen's emotions became more excited, mixed with a trace of sadness. (To be continued.) )
