Chapter 8 Awakening

I don't know how long I slumbered before my consciousness went from nothingness to darkness, and then I became conscious. Zhao Ziqing was woken up by the system, and when she woke up, she found that she had only one brain left, stored in an absolutely sealed container.

The whole body, except for the brain, has become a liquid and is stored in another absolutely sealed container, into which many tiny tubes like neural networks protrude to deliver the absorbed nutrients to the container where the brain is stored, so that the brain can survive.

Zhao Ziqing knew that this was the last way to extend life only when the life-sustaining system of the escape pod had failed and the hibernating person could not recover normally.

It is to completely separate the internal brain and the body, and then put the brain in a storage tank, and then put the body without a brain in another storage tank and transform it into liquid, and these liquids become the nutrients for the survival of the brain, just like the relationship between plants and water.

Although she only woke up with a brain, the system simulated a physical environment for her, so that her brain's mind could function normally, and she could control all the systems in the escape pod through her mind.

As long as she sends out a distress signal, the powerful four-dimensional communication can travel unimaginable distances, even if the Space Force's fleet has escaped the galaxy.

As long as the rescuers arrived before the nutrients she had converted into her body were exhausted, she would be saved. Because with the current technology, after her brain is brought back, they can clone her brain based on the memory genes of her brain, thus resurrecting it.

But Zhao Ziqing didn't rush to send a distress signal at this time, and the first question that popped up in her mind was; Shouldn't she be dead now? How can it survive in this way?

Because I don't know how long it has been - because after entering hibernation, people's memories will be frozen at the moment before entering hibernation, and after entering hibernation, all human consciousness will disappear, even the most basic subconscious, so no matter how long she has been asleep in hibernation, when she wakes up, she only feels that only a moment has passed - Zhao Ziqing does not know what happened after she entered hibernation.

But fortunately, there is a system log, no matter what happens, the system will record it clearly, as long as you open the log and look at it, everything will be understood.

It's just that when she started to check the decree, she found that the system log had been sealed, and the permissions did not allow her to access it so easily.

Zhao Ziqing's mind was stunned, and she couldn't figure out what the situation was for a while, she tried several times, but the result was the same.

In his depression, Zhao Ziqing began to recall what had happened before.

……

At that time, she crashed into Jupiter on the galaxy, and in the face of death, her heart was very calm, sitting in front of the command platform and focusing on the progress of each program.

And just when the battleship was about to approach the speed of light, perhaps because of the effect of extreme speed, a multi-dimensional space module suddenly appeared in the empty command hall.

This kind of module is a kind of appearance produced by spatial fission, and the space inside is likely to be four-dimensional, five-dimensional or even ten-dimensional, and the structure is extremely complex.

Seeing that module, Zhao Ziqing's originally calm heart suddenly became a little excited, what she had to do had been done, the battleship was about to collide with Jupiter, if there was still a chance to escape, it was impossible for her to choose to stay there.

Therefore, she didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately pressed lightly under the armrest of the chair, and the escape pod hidden under the chair was immediately activated, and Zhao Ziqing fell into the chair together.

It was a wonderful feeling, and suddenly everything in front of me became ethereal, the light and shadow were blurred like a dream, without any color, without any sound, and without any physical existence. After about four or five seconds, everything suddenly returned to normal. Come fast, go fast, if it weren't for the mental preparation, Zhao Ziqing would even feel that it was just an illusion just now.

However, at the moment when he fell into the void, Zhao Ziqing's consciousness was very clear, and he also had an accurate concept of time in his heart.

According to this time calculation, she can be sure that the battleship and Jupiter have collided at this time, but sitting in the escape pod, she did not see the explosion, which is enough to show that the moment of crossing just now is far away from the explosion site.

Being able to escape from the hands of death and save a life, Zhao Ziqing felt extremely happy in his heart.

It's just that before she had time to put a happy smile on her face, her heart sank instantly, and the voice of the system kept ringing in her ears: "The space gravity is too large, and the navigation system has failed......"

Zhao Ziqing frowned slightly, his eyes looked through the porthole, the darkness outside was as thick as a thick substance, and even the super light on the bow of the escape cabin seemed to be imprisoned by the darkness, and it couldn't shine out at all. And in this darkness, even if you don't feel any movement, you can't hear any sound, it feels like being buried in the soil layer 10,000 meters below, everything is still in front of you at this moment, so oppressive that it almost suffocates people.

However, the pointer on the instrument of the navigation system clearly indicates that the escape pod is being pulled by a huge gravitational force at this time, and it is rapidly moving in one direction.

This is a gravitational force so strong that even light cannot escape, and Zhao Ziqing quickly thought of a terrifying existence: "Black hole!" ”

In fact, all these disasters also originated from this black hole; As early as two centuries ago, astrologists discovered that a huge black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy had been distorted and began to frantically devour the surrounding space mass, and at that rate, at most, in another 500 years, the solar system would fall into its engulfing range, and then the entire solar system, and then the entire galaxy, would cease to exist.

It is a matter of life and death, and mankind attaches importance to this discovery, and after various discussions, finally finalizes an interstellar migration plan.

Since then, people have been frantically building spaceships, stockpiling supplies, and preparing for immigration.

However, the astrologists did not know that the distance of space would change when space was distorted, and that only two hundred years later, the black hole had expanded to a distance of 150 light-years from the solar system, and its gravitational influence had spread to a distance of only 50 light-years from the solar system.

At this rate, the entire solar system will fall into his engulfing range in less than two years at most, a full three hundred years earlier than originally predicted.

At this time, the human migration plan was only halfway through, and neither the spaceship nor the living materials could meet the needs of all human immigrants.

The shadow of death loomed over all mankind, and the whole world fell into panic and anxiety, and in order to express their dissatisfaction with the slow action or inaction of the government, people took to the streets and carried out various large-scale demonstrations and protests, and as the scale of the protests continued to increase, it gradually evolved into global riots. As the riots intensified, it eventually led to a confrontation between the ground forces and the space force.

The Space Force belongs to the Federal Government of Earth, while the Ground Forces are the forces of the traditional various nations.

The reason for their confrontation with the Space Force is that most of the immigration materials are now in the hands of the Space Force, which is really unsafe, because the Space Force's interstellar migration conditions are ready-made, and they may leave everyone behind at any time and flee for their lives, and effective supervision must be established, so that everyone can face the problem together with confidence.

Their proposal was also widely supported by the people of the world, so the two sides negotiated on this issue. It was just that because the interests of all parties were involved, there was no way to negotiate how to supervise the body, and after several negotiations broke down, a full-scale war finally broke out.

Zhao Ziqing can't remember how many times there have been such dark battles, from the beginning to the end of the war, it was only a little more than a year, but in this year or so, the hundreds of thousands of giant warships of the Space Force, in the end, only the dozen or so that broke through were left, you can imagine the extent of the war brutality.

In the war, Zhao Ziqing has really seen too much death, the kind of interrogation and destruction that goes straight to the depths of the soul have already numbed her soul and have no consciousness, she even feels that what she is still alive is just an empty shell, and all that governs her actions is only the mission and responsibility of the fleet, but now, her mission and responsibility have been completed.

Therefore, when she crossed out of that space module and found herself in a desperate situation again, her mood did not rise and fall much, just a little disappointed, but more of a kind of relieved peace and relief.

She didn't want to die in depression, her mission had been completed, there was no burden or regret in her heart, she wanted to end her life with her own hands, she wanted her life to end in the bliss of sleep, she didn't want to experience any fear and pain of death, so she finally chose to hibernate.
