After sending them off, Dong Chen came to his underground hangar and came to the brand new "Black Hawk".

Unlike the old Black Hawk, this one has completely lost the shape of an airplane, and has been replaced with the appearance of an interstellar spaceship in a science fiction movie.

The shape of the new "Black Hawk" is a reference to the 600i luxury yacht in "Citizen Selling Ships", and the shape is very sci-fi, but the color has been changed to black, which looks more mysterious and elegant.

The length of nearly 100 meters, coupled with the redesign and layout of the internal structure, has improved the utilization rate, so in addition to Dong Chen's living space, it is also loaded with a lot of landing equipment, such as small aircraft, vehicles, etc., for landing on the planet.

In addition, a special design has been made for the driving position, and a setting has been created to allow the shortest time to enter the escape pod, so as to maximize safety.

After changing into a special cabin lightweight spacesuit, he then buckled a specially designed and manufactured comprehensive planet exploration smart bracelet on his wrist, reached out and touched the air casually a few times, and tried that the connection between it and his newly replaced cornea display was smooth, so he sat in the driver's seat and said, "Let's go, One." ”

"Yes, sir."

As the sound of No. 1 sounded, the "Black Hawk" was directly optically invisible, and the parking platform slowly rose and lifted directly to the ground, and then the ship's engine started, and it flew into the sky.

After the spacecraft broke through the atmosphere, it accelerated away from the earth, and Dong Chen looked back at the appearance of the earth, and officially started his cosmic journey.

After leaving Earth for a while, One turned on the spacecraft's space jump engine and entered the jump tunnel.

The spacecraft entered the jump channel, and after Dong Chen and No. 1 checked that all the systems were normal and there were no problems, Dong Chen cast his eyes outside the huge cockpit window.

Seeing that there was nothing to see in the pitch black around the spacecraft, and sitting back in the driver's seat to look at the "virtual" speed and distance display, Dong Chen asked No. 1, "Now that we are almost at the edge of the solar system, how long will it take us to reach Proxima Centauri?" ”

"Sir, we ......"

Before No. 1 could answer Dong Chen's question, the spacecraft suddenly made a loud alarm, and a bright light flowed in front of the energy shield, and then they directly broke away from the jump passage and returned to the normal cosmic space.

"What's going on, One?"

This sudden change caused the spacecraft to shake violently, so frightened that Dong Chen hurriedly grabbed the armrest of the seat and fastened his seat belt.

"Sir, emergency, we are in danger!"

"The high-energy reaction in front of us directly got us out of the jump channel, and the energy of the energy shield was violently consumed......"

"Sir, please immediately go to the small aircraft to escape and return to Earth!"

No. 1's series of words made Dong Chen not even react, as soon as he unbuckled his seat belt and stood up, the spacecraft shook violently, the lights in the cockpit dimmed, and the holographic display screen began to flicker, as if the energy loss was indeed very serious.

This moment almost shook Dong Chen down, but it was thanks to Dong Chen that he didn't fall down because he held on to the handrail, but he also sat back in his seat, and by the way, Dong Chen's attention was drawn to the display screen, and the things on the display screen stunned Dong Chen.

The shaking just now made him dizzy, and when he stared again, it seemed as if time had slowed down, just like the "bullet time" he had stumbled upon earlier.

The location of the spaceship shown on the display screen is the edge of the solar system, and it has just rushed out of the Oort cloud, and the other display shows that the solar system wrapped in the Oort cloud behind it is actually glowing faintly like a sphere.

It was the faint sunlight reflected by a huge amount of interstellar dust, ice, stones, and metals, and in the dark background of the universe, it was like a brilliant bubble suspended in the starry sky.

Extremely fragile, yet so beautiful.

This moment of distraction made the situation change again, and the clicking sound of "glass" breaking reached Dong Chen's ears, making him wake up directly from the "bullet time", and at the same time, the voice of No. 1 becoming anxious also sounded.

"It's too late! Sir, can you open the gaming space now? Please get out of this place quickly. ”

Hearing this, Dong Chen looked at the sturdy huge viewing window in front of the cockpit, a deep crack had been carved on it, and the weak energy shield reaction was still resisting the attack of the energy tide outside, and it was in danger of being exhausted at any time.

The situation was urgent, and Dong Chen could not be delayed any longer, so he directly opened the arc door to the world of the interstellar era and prepared to slip away.

But the arc door that was usually extremely stable and could be opened wherever he wanted to, this time it turned out to be outside the spaceship, and it expanded instantly, draining all the energy that Dong Chen had to maintain the arc door.

Expanded to the limit, even more than 200 meters in diameter, the arc gate was directly mixed with the energy turbulence outside, as if a drop of water was mixed into the boiling oil, making the energy tide outside even more violent in an instant, and even began to flicker some spatial wormholes that appeared and disappeared in an instant, flashing on the energy display screen.

At the same time, the spaceship was even more unstable, and even the gravity device failed, but fortunately, Dong Chen had been firmly grasping the handrail so that it did not float indiscriminately.

The flickering holographic projection No. 1 kept looking at Dong Chen, and seeing that Dong Chen's method of saving himself had failed, he asked Dong Chen to try the last method.

"Sir, please sit in the driver's seat and enter the emergency escape pod to escape, I have sent a distress signal to Earth!"

"Good!"

Dong Chen doesn't talk nonsense, it's important to run for his life first.

He immediately sat down in his seat, and his seat belt was automatically plugged in.

Then the driver's seat immediately lay flat, the base structure opened, and the seat sank directly into the egg-shaped escape cabin below with Dong Chen.

After the escape hatch was tightly closed, it was ejected from the ship in an instant.

As soon as the escape pod ejected out of the spaceship, Dong Chen saw through the small window on the escape pod that the spacecraft was instantly crushed into pieces, and then it was sucked into several different spatial wormholes and disappeared.

"Sir, please be patient, the rescue fleet is ......"

At the moment when the spacecraft shattered and disappeared, the sound of No. 1 was also cut off, and Dong Chen knew that it was because the intelligent system storage device on the spaceship was broken, or even because it disappeared into a wormhole and went to an unknown place, and the connection was broken.

However, without an interval of a second, the sound of One continued to sound again, because the One of the Earth Host was online.

“…… Arrive and you'll be rescued in no time. ”

"Well," Dong Chen, who was saved, had calmed down, "What the hell is going on, One, why did our spaceship explode at the edge of the solar system?" ”

"Sir, the situation is unknown at this time, but according to the information transmitted before the explosion of the spacecraft, it seems that there is a barrier outside the solar system to prevent ......"

"Sir, in an emergency, a "flickering wormhole" suddenly appeared in front of the escape pod, and the miniature jetting device that came with the escape pod was not enough to ......"

"Nourish...... I will...... Save you back ......"

"Nourishing ......"

“…………”

Seeing that the starry sky in front of him suddenly fell into darkness, and there was no starlight at all, Dong Chen knew that he had entered a space tunnel, and even the quantum communication was cut off, he also knew it......

No, he didn't know where he was going.

If it's not so long that you can't even contact quantum communication, then you're going to a place where quantum communication signals are shielded, anyway......

"Damn!!"

And how to think about it, his consciousness was still a little blurred, and he could vaguely hear a little sound.

“…… Loss of contact with the main system ......"

“…… The booking procedure of the escape pod was initiated, and the escape personnel began to freeze and sleep......"

“…… The distress signal continues to be sent ......"

By the time Dong Chen's mind completely fell into darkness, his brain was full of questions, and he couldn't understand why at all.

"Why is the solar system wrapped in an energy barrier, is this the real power of the "Great Filter"? Is it also the true face of the cruelty of the big filter? ”

"If we can't break through the blockade of "eggshell", can't "life" be born? ”

How did this barrier come about, was it "human" or was it naturally generated? ”

"What is the purpose of this existential energy barrier?"

"Then why are aliens able to break through the blockade of the energy barrier and enter the solar system without any abnormality?"

"The Future of Humanity...... Where the hell is it? ”

"And ...... Why me? ”

and...... Where am I going?!! ”
