Chapter 1: A Hole in the Air (1.1)
Su Tianzong has lived for twenty years, and this is the first time in his life that he has encountered a mortal threat.
Just over half of the winter vacation, when other students were at home to spend the Spring Festival with their relatives, he could only stay alone in the dormitory of the film and television academy because he had no family to reunite.
Two years ago, when Su Tianzong was admitted to the Film and Television Academy, his parents had an accident, and since then loneliness has accompanied Su Tianzong.
Whenever he spends the holiday alone, he looks for something that will dispel the loneliness in his heart. Su Tianzong found that the radio walkie-talkie could relieve some lonely time. He would often be alone in his dorm room, using his walkie-talkie to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, drawing a little comfort from them.
Su Tianzong doesn't like the Internet very much, because the Internet gives him an unreal feeling. He likes to hear the words of others, hear the intimate language between relatives, and hear the sincere blessings between people. However, what he didn't expect was that just a few days after the Spring Festival, he received an urgent distress message.
“…… Calling the fleet! Distress! Distress! The starship AX9580 was attacked by an alien fleet and its hull was severely damaged...... Woohoo...... Abandon ship and escape! …… Distress! Starship AX9580 asks for help from all fleets of the human republic! …… We're stuck in ...... Intervesicular ...... Woohoo...... Starship AX9580, call fleet! ……“
This content came inexplicably, Su Tian listened to it without a clue, he was lying on the bed in the dormitory at the moment, and the walkie-talkie was also in the bed. Maybe the signal was not good, he stuck the antenna of the walkie-talkie out of the quilt, trying to see if he could receive more messages, but there was only a screeching noise from the walkie-talkie. Suddenly, Su Tianzong felt cold all over his body, the quilt that had originally covered him was gone, and the cold air stimulated him to wake up instantly. Immediately afterwards, Su Tianzong found that there was a suction force that was sucking him away. He instinctively let go of the walkie-talkie in his hand and stretched out his hands to grasp the bedside railing tightly. Before he could figure out what was going on, he could only crawl on the bed in his dorm room and fight against the suction.
Su Tianzhong could hear that the noise from the walkie-talkie was getting smaller and smaller, and it was getting farther and farther away, as if the walkie-talkie had flown out for hundreds of meters. But the dormitory is only 20 square meters in total, how can there be a sound transmission distance of several hundred meters. There was no time for him to study the walkie-talkie now, because the suction was getting stronger and stronger, and his hands had already used their best strength to grasp the railing, but his body was still controlled by the strong suction and left the dormitory bed. Luckily, the dormitory bed was fixed to the ground, otherwise he wouldn't have had a place to grab it now. The mattress pillow under him was sucked away in an instant, and he heard the sound of the fabric tearing. Following the source of the sound, Su Tianzong turned his head to look behind him, and he found that a large hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the dormitory, a hole suspended in mid-air as if it had opened in the air. Su Tianzong saw that the mattress that flew away blocked the hole, and in a few seconds, it was torn into a strip of cloth and sucked in. He didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to be sucked in, but at this moment, there was nothing to block the hole, and the suction power immediately increased dramatically.
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm really going to die!' Su Tianzong's heart is actually broken, and anyone who encounters something fatal in the early morning will collapse. This happened completely unexpectedly, and his lower body was already suspended in the air by the suction pull. At this moment, as long as he dares to let go, it will be like flying away from the bed. Logically speaking, this hole is actually sucking air, much like a hole in a spaceship in outer space, and the air is blown out of the vacuum due to air pressure. The hole in the air in the center of the dormitory is estimated to be the same, except that Su Tianzong's quilt, mattress, pillow and his own life are all incidental gifts.
"We have to find a way to plug the hole!"
The problem is that the air in the dormitory is running out soon, and the oxygen level is horribly low. The crack under the dormitory door made a "whining" sound. It was the whistle of a large amount of air entering the dormitory through the crack in the door. The alloy window next to Su Tianzong's bed also began to tremble, making a "dingding" sound. The curtains on both sides have long been fixed, and they have not been opened for a long time, but they keep swaying with a "whoosh" sound. Obviously, the air pressure inside the house is already lower than outside, and the air is losing rapidly.
Su Tianzong lives alone in the dormitory at the moment, and he is alone in the entire dormitory building, so he doesn't have to think about calling for help, even if he wants to call for help, he must have air first. He was now panting, dizzy, and visibly low on oxygen. This kind of critical juncture would have been hung up for ordinary people a long time ago, either being sucked into the hole and becoming a human flesh plug, or dying of lack of oxygen and then being sucked into the hole.
Is Su Tianzong an ordinary person? Oh, yes! He's just an ordinary student, he doesn't have a super strong body, and he doesn't have the superpowers in some science fiction movies, and he really can't hold on. His palms had been cut with blood from the edge of the guardrail, and droplets of blood flew sideways down his arm before being sucked into the hole. Su Tianzong's whole body was already floating, his body was constantly swinging in the direction of the hole, and blood was dripping on his face, wetting his eyes. Su Tianzong completely understood what it meant to use blood to paste your face, his eyes were red with blood, and he couldn't see anything clearly. The eyelids kept twitching, which made Su Tianzong's condition even worse.
"Live!" A voice sounded in his heart, perhaps a warning engraved in his soul.
Su Tianzhong didn't want to die, he could feel that his strong will to survive was working, he might be able to make a last stand, maybe he could make a turnaround if he persevered. He simply closed his eyes, concentrated on his grip on the guardrail, and counted the time in his mind. Minute by minute, every second is so long and difficult.
There was a "bang" sound, and Su Tian dimly heard that it was coming from the direction of the dormitory door. The sound was distorted in the thin air, and he couldn't tell exactly what was coming from. But the whistle came from the crack in the door, and there was no sound. He guessed that the door of the dormitory might have been opened by the air pressure, or maybe the air pressure here had been so low that it had completely broken the lock of the broken wooden door.
A large amount of air poured in, and the situation suddenly changed for the better. Although the suction was still there, he was out of suspension and back on the bed. For the first time, Su Tianzong was very grateful to the academy for not changing the rotten door. He quickly rolled his left elbow around the guardrail, replacing the bleeding palm. After making sure it was stable, he wiped the blood off his face and looked back at the hole in the air.
This was the first time in Su Tianzong's life that he had seen the phenomenon of space distortion, an irregular oval opening, suspended in the middle of the dormitory. The edge of the hole is severely visually distorted, caused by the rapid inhalation of air into the hole, which can refract the dorm bed on the other side. Coupled with the curvature of the space at the edge of the hole, the effect is like seeing the world through a lens. Su Tianzong could vaguely see the light blue unknown space from the entrance of the cave, and he was sure that it did not belong to any corner of this dormitory.
The hole is suspended in the middle of the dormitory, without any support around it. And this hole leads to another place where there is no air. Judging from this, Su Tianzong could only think of one environment at the moment, and that was the vacuum of the universe.
There is a hole in the academy dormitory that connects to outer space, which is a rather desperate assumption. Depending on the size of the universe, there is absolutely not enough air on this planet. If the air leaks through the hole, then Su Tianzong will become the first and only one on this planet to know why the human race dies due to lack of oxygen and dies of extinction, of course, he will definitely be the first to die.
He needs to find a way to plug this hole, or he risks dragging all of humanity to death. Although this idea would be considered stupid if others knew about it, the current situation is so desperate. Su Tianzong had no choice, and if he didn't plug the hole, he could only be trapped here until he starved to death.
Think about how the spaceship plugged the leak, and a heavy metal plate slapped on it. Su Tianzong definitely didn't have such a professional tool at hand, he needed a replacement. "Calm down! Think about what I can find a replacement!' Su Tianzhong needed to start thinking by himself, but his heart was beating fast, and the pressure of blood loss and crisis made him highly nervous. He began to take deep breaths, sucking as much oxygen as he could from the pitiful amount of air.
The dormitory bed is divided into two levels, with a bed on top and a table and a cabinet on the bottom. Su Tianzong's bed was next to the window, so he put the old computer case in the gap between the bed and the wall, and stuffed it with thick cardboard to block the wind. Su Tianzong looked up in the direction of the window, looking at the cardboard used to block the window, his eyes lit up. The computer case was within his reach, and he only needed to use his hands.
Su Tianzong immediately fixed his left arm and used his right hand to pull the cardboard behind the curtain. Fortunately, it wasn't stuffed too tightly at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pull out the cardboard. The cardboard flew to the hole the moment it was pulled out, and it was torn to pieces by the suction force without holding on to the hole for even a second. The curtain was torn next, its hooks did not help, and the curtain was pulled into strips of cloth by the strong suction.
Without curtains, there will be no covering, so it will be more convenient. But the oxygen was about to run out, and Su Tianzong felt that his eyes were dizzy and out of breath. There was no time, Su Tianzong concentrated on holding the edge of the guardrail, stretched out his hand to grab the computer case and pulled it outward a little bit. The chassis is quite heavy, and it is difficult to lift it with one hand. In times of crisis, people will always burst out of their potential. Su Tianzong shouted angrily, struggled to pull out the chassis and threw it towards the hole, life and death depend on the success or failure of this throw.
"Bang!" The chassis successfully blocked the hole under the action of suction. The suction power was gone, the windows stopped shaking, and the remaining curtains stopped shaking. Su Tianzong quickly leaned out and slammed his fist on the corner of the dormitory window with the help of the power of his jump. The glass was shattered with a punch, and fresh air quickly poured into the room.
Su Tianzong gasped for breath and kept inhaling air into his lungs. He was just a little bit closer, and he was about to suffocate.
