This is a vast and barren sea of pale yellow coarse sand and gravel. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Rocks, large and small, lay lifeless in the coarse sand and gravel piles.

If you can be in the middle of it, and look around, it will be like entering the most primitive wilderness, full of desolation and lifeless.

Most of the time, it's quiet, suffocatingly quiet, with only the occasional whirlwind rolling up a pillar of yellow sand into the air.

This makes the surroundings seem more quiet and desolate.

Whirlwinds are not always so docile, and if they encounter a strong wind, they will also fly sand and rocks, and the wind will howl and shake the heavens and the earth. Everything from far to near, like ten thousand horses galloping, the battle array is majestic, the ghosts are crying and the wolves are howling, and the wind is constantly rushing towards the sand and stones, and the momentum seems to destroy the whole world under its obscenity.

I don't know how long it took, but the wind stopped.

At this time, there is an extremely bright orange disc hanging in the crisp sky, in addition to this round of orange disk, there is often another round of brighter disc in the sky, if you look closely at the sky, you can often find another bright spot in the sky.

Say goodbye to the wind, the sky is gone, and the world is quiet again.

After the strong wind blowing, the slightly finer sand and dust have already been blown away, leaving only a large coarse gravel, which covers the ground in patches, forming a gravel desert.

In the continuous gravel desert, there are occasionally some huge rocks dotted among them, making the whole gravel desert appear more three-dimensional.

The wind blows invisibly, but it carves out a tangible substance, and over the years, the rocks in the gravel desert are gradually formed into strange stones with strange edges and corners and different shapes under the abrasion of the sand particles carried by the strong wind.

These strange stones vary in size and have gone through the vicissitudes of time and are full of turbulent momentum, which is simply a masterpiece of the natural world.

In the vast world of gravel deserts, it is not always static, and the oases of springs of uneven size are scattered all over the world.

Every oasis is recharged by groundwater, and there is such a thing as rainfall, but that seems to have been a long time ago.

In the middle of a smaller oasis, there is a bay of pale blue water lying quietly.

The lake is surrounded by a number of unknown greenery, greedily sucking the water oozing from under your feet.

Further to the periphery of the oasis, there is also gravel all along the way, but the gravel looks quite different.

This is no ordinary stone, it is a "stone" that has been growing for thousands of years.

In fact, these "stones" are crystals of a plant. They tend to grow in groups at the edge of the oasis, and if one of them dies, all the others will slowly wither, and eventually, their bodies will become "stones", lifeless but never withering.

......

It was nine years and seven months since the Pupil of Earth left Earth, and four years and ten months since the departure of the Mirai spacecraft.

The Command Center of the Pupil of Earth Project has finally received good news from Pupil of Earth.

"Team leader, it's a success!!" A young scientist from the extraterrestrial civilization project team shouted excitedly as he looked at the parsed images in the communication system.

"What succeeded?!"

The current leader of the extraterrestrial civilization project team, Durunik, seems to have had a premonition in the past few days, although he has not seen it with his own eyes at the moment, but after hearing this shout, the stone that has been hanging in his heart has finally landed.

"The pupil of the earth has successfully slowed down, and now it has entered the orbit of Alpha Centauri B!" The young scientist continued to shout excitedly.

"Let me see!" Trunik sat in front of the computer, staring intently at the screen.

He had just celebrated his thirty-seventh birthday the previous week, an age heading straight for forty, and the hurried years and intense research had quietly dyed his sideburns a little white.

His eyes gradually faded from the youthful frivolity they once had, replaced by a trace of perseverance and calmness.

"The pupil of the earth really slowed down successfully!!" After getting the conclusive news, Durunik suddenly couldn't suppress his feelings, "It's been nearly 10 years since we sent the pupil of the earth away....... Chinese guys, you should have known the news a year and a half ago." ”

Durunik raised his head, then closed his eyes, a hand silently brushing through his socket.

After a long silence, he opened his eyes and began to assign work: "Every day for the next day, everyone is busy, and through the pupil of the earth, everything we see next is crucial......"

......

A month later, Hara, Smith, and Lynn woke up from their fifth hibernation.

This time he woke up, and it took Yuan Haochen an hour and a half to climb out of the sleeping cabin safely.

In the same situation, it took 6 hours for Smith in the operation group and Lynn was in an even worse situation, taking almost 8 hours to regain basic mobility.

"I feel like a zombie crawling out of a grave!" Lynn was in a somewhat depressed mood.

"Don't say that, hold on four more times and we'll be there." Smith comforted him.

"Maintain a good attitude, too much negative thinking is also bad for your health." Yuan Haochen patted him on the shoulder and continued, "You are an outstanding representative of tens of millions of earthlings, and I believe that we will definitely reach the Alpha Centauri galaxy smoothly." ”

"You're right, in the distant universe, we can't get sick, we must ensure that we are in good health." Lynn struggled to put on a smile and nodded in reply.

"This month, everyone must take in more nutrients, drink more water, and exercise more...... Yuan explained.

"Okay!" "Understood."

As Yuan Haochen expected, this time he woke up and still did not receive any news about whether Chen Shuqin had entered deep hibernation.

This time the news from the parents came two and a half years ago.

"Son, my mother has thought about it for a long time, but she still doesn't want to lie to you, although the country and the alliance are doing their best to save Shuqin, but her situation is getting worse and worse. She had just completed a major operation in the past two days, and she was still in a coma and did not wake up...... "Her mother's voice sounded very sad, which made Yuan Haochen's heartstrings collapse several times.

The father held the mother's hand tightly and took the words: "Son, we have to have confidence, we have been waiting for your reply...... you have to take care of yourself." ”

At this moment, Yuan Haochen's heart was really chaotic and chaotic.

He knows that what should come will come, and he can't hide if he wants to!!

Now, he just wants to go to sleep right away, and then stop thinking about anything, and wait until the next time he wakes up to receive the answer he's been waiting for.

Of course, it could also be bad news that he couldn't accept.......

[You are looking at the pig's feet and the delayed communication on the earth will be very brain-burning, haha. If you do a rough calculation, the most recent message that Future has been able to receive is the number of years it has been away from Earth/2. For example, if you leave for 2 years, you can receive messages from 1 year ago, and if you leave for 6 years, you can only receive messages from 3 years ago. (To be continued.) )
