Chapter 213: Awakening
The universe is dark and lonely, it is extremely empty, but emptiness does not mean security.
This universe is still too mysterious, and even with the technology of today's human civilization, the understanding of the universe is only scratching the surface. Who knows what kind of danger will arise in this open place? Maybe a burst of dark energy can silently devour the entire spaceship, and maybe a passing black hole can destroy the spaceship......
The most dangerous situation is not when you know what you are facing, but ...... You don't know what you're going to encounter, and everything is unpredictable. That's the horror of long-distance astronautics.
So Wei Feng is not confident that he will wake up in ten years. Before being anesthetized, Wei Feng even thought that if he could die unconscious and sleep until the end of the universe, maybe it would be a kind of luck.
The spacecraft was silently suspended in the dark expanse of the universe, and because there was no reference, even though it was moving at a speed of 3,000 kilometers per second, it still looked as if it was stationary.
Although all non-essential equipment has been shut down, the ship's rotation continues, so artificial gravity has always been there. Since there is no air to slow down the ship's rotation, it will continue to spin like this unless there is an accident.
Infinite stars watched in the distance, watching the tiny ship levitate here. The universe is always quiet, no one disturbs the ship, and correspondingly, it will not disturb any existence in this universe.
Every month or so passes. There will be a little noise inside the ship. The lights will be on once. Each module of the ship, including the life-sustaining equipment, temperature control equipment, pressurization equipment, etc., will be activated once, but all of them will only run for a maximum of five minutes before shutting down, and then the ship will be quiet and cold again.
That's to test whether there are any problems with the spacecraft's modules, and to prevent damage to the ship's components if they are idle for a long time.
In this piece of loneliness, time slipped away little by little. I don't know how long it took, but there was movement inside the Xinghai spacecraft again. The first thing that came to mind was the sound of the clang. A sound means that there is gas inside the ship, yes. At this moment, the leaves released the gases suitable for human life that had been recovered and stored before, and filled the entire activity area. After the gas appeared, the air filter began to work, and then the temperature control equipment also worked, gradually adjusting the temperature of the air to 26 degrees Celsius - the most suitable temperature for human survival.
After all this work was done, the lights and lighting were turned on, the hull communication module was turned on, and the electronics were turned on. There was also a bright light in the hibernation room, and a flickering display screen appeared.
Ten years have passed, and it is time to wake up Wei Feng. There are three main reasons why Wei Feng is awakened every ten years. One is that hibernation for too long will cause irreversible damage to the human body, and it will wake up every ten years of hibernation. The human body can automatically repair these injuries, the second reason is that ten years is not a short time after all, in this ten years, there will always be one or two damaged tens of millions of parts that make up the spacecraft as a whole, these parts need to be repaired or replaced by Weifeng, and the modules that have not failed also need to be overhauled to prevent major failures. At the same time, Ye Luo is not a real artificial intelligence after all, and it will accumulate some bugs in the process of operation, and these bugs cannot be eliminated by itself, which can only rely on Wei Feng to help it eliminate. The third reason is that the Earth side needs to confirm that Weifeng is still alive and that the Xinghai spacecraft is still operating normally. At the same time, the Earth side will sometimes have some instructions passed to the spaceship for Wei Feng to execute.
The Earth side also has the authority to urgently awaken Wei Feng. If the Earth side deems it necessary, they will send a command over, and after being verified by Ye Luo, Ye Luo will wake up Wei Feng.
Of course, this wake-up is only a routine wake-up, and there is no urgent and important task.
The hibernation chamber was lit up again, and the hibernation pod began to slowly warm up. After the heating process is complete, the hibernation pod ejects from the chamber and is exposed to it.
The lid of the hibernation chamber is transparent, and through the lid you can clearly see Wei Feng lying in the hibernation chamber. Wei Feng's expression was serene and calm, as if he was asleep. His chest still heaved, but it was extremely slow. In hibernation, it takes him almost the whole day to breathe, and his heart beats almost every day.
"Captain, it's time for you to wake up." Ye Luo's unique neutral voice once again appeared in the hibernation pod. Of course, these voices are inaudible.
Under Ye Luo's manipulation, several needles controlled by a mechanical arm appeared in the hibernation cabin, which pierced different parts of Wei Feng's body at the same time, and then injected some drugs of different colors. As the temperature in the hibernation chamber increased, these drugs also began to work, so Wei Feng's heartbeat and breathing began to gradually increase.
Compared to falling asleep, the process of waking up is much longer. It took half a day for Wei Feng's heartbeat and breathing to return to normal levels, but Wei Feng still fell into the deepest sleep with his eyes closed, not feeling it at all.
The pale blue liquid in the hibernation pod gradually faded away, eventually disappearing completely. As the pale blue liquid faded, the hatch opened at the same time, and the air was warm and moist, allowing for maximum comfort.
Wei Feng's eyelids twitched silently, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes. Although his eyes were already open, there was no focus in those pupils, indicating that Wei Feng had not actually regained consciousness.
Although the lights were on in the hibernation pod, the lights were extremely dim. This was set up by Ye Luo in advance, after all, Wei Feng had been asleep for ten years, and if he was exposed to too strong light the moment he opened his eyes, Wei Feng's eyes would be blind.
But even with such dim lighting, Wei Feng still felt a little tingling. So Wei Feng reflexively closed his eyes, and closed them for a long time before opening them, this time, Wei Feng's eyes became much clearer.
The blurry scene in front of me gradually began to become clear. Wei Feng saw the milky walls and everything in the hibernation room again. Wei Feng snorted, feeling a twisted pain in his head, the pain was like the feeling after drinking too much wine and waking up after a night of hangover. Wei Feng knows that this is one of the side effects of hibernation, during the hibernation process, the brain will lose a lot of water and become atrophied, although it is relieved in the process of awakening, but after all, it cannot return to normal levels.
The cause of headaches after a hangover is also due to brain atrophy, which is the same as Weifeng after hibernation. To solve this situation is actually very simple, just drink some water and rest for a while.
Wei Feng was still lying in the hibernation pod, unmoving. A tube suddenly stretched out next to Wei Feng's mouth. Wei Feng opened his mouth and bit the tube, and some water with a suitable temperature slowly sprayed out. Wei Feng drank for a while and then stopped, closed his eyes and rested for a while before sitting up.
"Captain, welcome back." Ye Luo's voice came to Wei Feng's ears at this moment, and at the same time, a robot in the shape of a small cart also sent Wei Feng's clothes over.
Wei Feng's body was still a little stiff, so Wei Feng's actions in putting on clothes were a little clumsy. After sleeping for too long, Wei Feng's tongue was no longer flexible, and the words he said were a little vague: "Ye Luo, hello, how long have I been asleep?" ”
Although the words were a little vague, Ye Luo still understood the sentence and responded: "Captain, you have been asleep for ten years and eight days, I guess, your sleep quality must be very good, right?" ”
Whether the sleep quality is good or not, Wei Feng doesn't know, Wei Feng only feels that he has slept for a long time. At this moment, Wei Feng even has a feeling of being alive again.
Wei Feng got dressed, crawled out of the hibernation cabin with a little difficulty, only replied "It's okay", and stood there leaning against the wall and began to gasp.
Ye Luo asked, "Captain, do you need me to turn down the gravity a little?" ”
The gravity of the Xinghai spacecraft is formed by the rotation of the spacecraft, and if you want to lower or increase the gravity, you only need to change the rotation speed of the spacecraft, which is a very simple thing.
"Nope." Wei Feng replied, "Did anything happen during my slumber?" ”
"There's a lot going on, but none of them have gotten to the point where you need to be woken up." Ye Luo replied, "There are three parts of the spacecraft's orbit adjustment propulsion module that have failed and you need to replace them, a refractive lens in the positioning system that is contaminated with dust and needs you to clean it, and a filter in the life support system that needs to be replaced...... Well, in the course of the past ten years, my own program has accumulated thirty-eight minor bugs that you need to troubleshoot, and I received a notice from Earth a month ago that you need to review. The rest is left alone. ”
"Okay, I'll do these things when I'm rested." Wei Feng replied. After a pause, Wei Feng asked, "Ye Luo...... What is the distance between us and the Earth now? ”
"We are now ...... from Earth 948.6 billion kilometers, it takes about 37 days for the earth's signals to reach us. (To be continued......)
