538. The Last Hope of Mankind
As a result, people became nervous again. If life in the space-time quiescent zone of the universe followed the Swordfish, what would it be?
Alice was a little scared and said, "Otherwise, let's go out." ”
Mrs. Larry said, "Alice, what's wrong with you?" You've been to so many ancient tombs, what's so scary! ”
Alice said, "I ...... I do not know! Maybe it's because no matter how gloomy the ancient tomb is, it's still on Earth, but we don't even know where we are! ”
Anderson encouraged her, "Alice, it's okay, I'm here!" I'll protect you! ”
"Anderson, either accompany Alice to the top and wait, your leg injury is not healed yet, if something really happens, you can't run." Petru said.
"No, we should not be separated from the current situation." Aoki said, "Mental power is separated, and neither Mr. Stone nor I can sense what's going on outside, so it's better for everyone to stay together." ”
"I agree with Aoki." Situ said.
"But what exactly are we looking for here?" Alice said, "They're all dead, and you know the cause of their deaths." Most of the stuff on this ship doesn't work, so what else are we looking for? ”
No one answered this question.
If in the past, Boris and Petro would have said that they were looking for weapons, food, and things necessary for survival, but now it has been proven that none of these things can be used.
Mrs. Larry may be interested in archaeology, but the ship is a modern warship compared to them, and the officers and men on the ship are all younger than her, but they have spent the rest of their lives in another time and space in the universe, and now they are back in this plane.
Perhaps even the word "return" is inaccurate, because this plane is not the plane of the earth either. So it's not about archaeology at all, it's a question that belongs to physics and biology.
Aoki couldn't think of why, but he always felt that he should go in again, there was always something inexplicably familiar that seduced him inside. This kind of thing is even more inexplicable than intuition, like a monster lurking in his brain, and the spiritual force field here is cut off, so it won't be an external spiritual influence.
However, there was another thing that he was very clear and concerned about, and he was convinced that this was also what Situ was thinking, that is, to confirm whether Xia Xiaoxiao was still on this ship.
When they first separated, Xia Xiaoxiao and the lieutenant colonel William Halsey boarded the warship together, and after that, they entered their respective cosmic time and space, and they never contacted each other again. Today, Lieutenant Colonel Halsey is in the command room above, which has been turned into a thousand-year-old cadre.
Aoki saw a flash of worry on Situ's impeccable face, which was so handsome, that it flickered with the beating of the firelight. He knew that even if everyone withdrew, he would go in and look at all the cabins of the warship.
"Let's go in and have a look." Aoki said.
"That's right, it's not the earth anyway!"
The crow's words dispelled people's doubts, yes, it's not the earth anyway, it's better than where!
Alice remembered the horrible and ugly moon she had seen that night, and there were three suns hanging in the sky outside, and she didn't know what would happen. Thinking of this, she felt that the darkness in the cabin was not so terrifying.
The people continued in silence, going in and looking at every small cabin they passed, and what they saw was still the same.
The crow pointed to the hatch on the left side of the front and reminded, "That, that's the doorway, the shadow I just saw flashed there." ”
"Hey, I admit that you have good eyes, don't scare people anymore!" Boris said.
"Oh...... Are you asking a bird to shut up? Unless you stuff something in my mouth, like sauce elbow or something, dried fish is fine, but no, the kind of sun-dried meat is too hard......"
The crow chattered, and Boris, impatiently listening, interrupted: "Believe it or not, I put a stone in your mouth!" ”
"Stones? Oh quack......" Raven turned to look at him, "Did you go to elementary school?" Ever heard the story of a crow drinking water? Quack, it seems that your cultural level is not high, come and give you a popular science, open your wine bottle, give me some stones, I promise to drink the wine in the bottle, believe it or not? Quack, look at you like that and don't believe it, or we bet that if one bottle doesn't work, two bottles, I will definitely convince you! ……”
Now everyone was amused by the crows, and the laughter drove the strangeness and uneasiness far away, and the atmosphere became relaxed again.
Su Huilan and Lady Larry were side by side, closely behind Situ and Aoki. She asked worriedly, "Mr. Stone, you just said that this may be an overlapping space, and this ship has not completely escaped the static space, so will we also fall into it?" ”
Situ shook his head and said, "No." Unless it was thrown in at high speed in Ramla, it must have happened when it was foggy. I guess the Swordfish accidentally crashed into it the last time it fogged, and the fog just let it out again. This does not seem to us a long time interval, they have lived in it for thousands of years.
The space-time stationary zone is an enclosed space that rarely exchanges energy and matter with the outside world, including the exchange of information. When an enclosed space cannot obtain external energy to maintain its low entropy, the speed of its heat death is much greater than the speed of the cosmic heat death. You can think of it as a bubble that is still in the universe and will die at any time, in your eyes, the bubble bursts in an instant, but inside the bubble you experience the birth and death of a world. The bubble where the Swordfish is located, even if it is not dead, is already on the verge of bursting. ”
Su Huilan was stunned, while Mrs. Larry next to her asked thoughtfully, "Then what happens if the life in a bubble runs out of the bubble?" ”
"Maybe it's like we're going into a black hole or a higher dimension of the universe, but what will happen, no one knows," Szeto said. ”
Mrs. Larry said, "So, what Mr. Raven has seen may be worth studying, isn't it?" ”
"Wow!" The crow crowned flatteredly, "Did you hear me, she called me 'sir'!" 'Sir'! You see, that's as respectable as a professor! Hey-" it looked down at Aoki, "be polite to me in the future, don't shout, I'm 'sir'!" ”
Situ stopped, looked at Mrs. Larry, and said, "You're right, maybe it's really valuable, I hope we can find it!" ”
Then, they came to the hatch where the shadow of the crow was pointing, and the sign at the door read: Captain's Room.
This is the most spacious bedroom on the ship, with a desk, sofa, TV and separate bathroom in addition to a bed and cupboard.
It was supposed to belong to Lieutenant Colonel William Halsey, and Halsey was sitting in the conning tower above, so it was supposed to be empty. Now, however, in the chair in front of the desk, there was a man, a dried corpse, to be exact.
The corpse was not wearing a military uniform, but a suit. He reclined in his chair, his hands resting on the armrests of the chair, his head tilted slightly, for fear that he would fall off at the slightest touch. In the firelight, his face looked a little hideous, and the two black holes seemed to hide the ghost of hell in their eye sockets.
There was a piece of paper on the table, with something like a red coral branch pressed against it, which looked a bit like the scepter they held in their hands, but only half of it.
There are words on the paper, written in English:
I'm Ronald Cohen, and I'm leaving this book with the few days of my life left.
I know that there is no hope of escaping from the deep well in this life, and may Gaia bless me, and someone will be able to see this letter in a thousand years, this is the last hope of mankind......
