Chapter 236: Long and Short

"Ten hours, that's a long time."

Lu An frowned and sighed.

Su Ruyu asked rhetorically: "Do you miss the group of guys behind you so much that you want to see them soon?" ”

"Well, not really. It's just that the two of us, now we are just waiting stupidly, and then ten hours later, praying hopefully that we will not see the warship behind again, tsk, it seems a little ......"

"What?"

"Well, it's a little boring."

Su Ruyu rolled her eyes after hearing this, and said angrily: "Didn't you spend hundreds of ten hours like this on the asteroid before, and I haven't seen you complain like this." ”

Lu An smiled and said, "The problem is that we didn't know each other so well before, and I'm embarrassed to complain to you." ”

Su Ruyu deliberately glanced at him and said with disgust: "Are we very familiar now?" ”

"Unfamiliar?"

"Is it cooked?"

Lu An nodded and said, "Well, just pretend that the two of us know each other very well." Anyway, when I first arrived at Base 9786, I was really bored to death, and at that time, I fantasized every day that I was a spaceship, able to fly back to Earth, not on that lonely asteroid, isolated from the world every day, and then desperately wasting time. ”

"What? Spacecraft? ”

Su Ruyu was slightly stunned, and then she laughed, leaning forward and backward with a smile, and her eyes narrowed together into a line.

"Spaceship ......, cough, cough, cough ......, hahaha, is it like this spaceship that has been shelled behind the ass, well, you don't have to imagine that you are a spaceship, we are going to fly back to Earth now, hahaha-"

Lu An pursed his lips and retorted, "What's so funny about this, didn't you kill the boredom like this when you first came?" ”

After Lu An finished speaking, seeing that Su Ruyu was still crazy in size, he turned his head and deliberately stopped looking at this "crazy woman".

After a long while, Su Ruyu laughed so hard that she stopped her slightly exaggerated movements, and then patted Lu An's shoulder and said: "Little friend, I didn't have such an innocent imagination as you at that time, I was very satisfied at that time, but I was very loyal to this duty, and I was diligent every day, how could I think of becoming a spaceship and escaping my duties?" Puffβ€”β€”,hahaha......"

Su Ruyu endured it for a long time, but laughed again.

Lu An pouted at her, his mouth was almost twisted to his ear, and he retorted in a low voice: "I have never seen a person who is loyal to his duty and gets drunk every day!" ”

Su Ruyu listened to his rebuttal, and was not angry, she patted him on the shoulder again with a smile, and said in a tone of lesson: "Haven't you heard of it?" As the saying goes, you can't work if you don't rest. Kid, it's just an unmanned base anyway, as long as I can keep myself happy and happily stick to the base, then I can be considered loyal to my duty. A child like you, look at the problem in black and white, this is not right, don't be so ignorant of the world! ”

Lu An shrugged his shoulders and no longer dwelled on this matter with her, anyway, this woman was justified.

Even if she refutes it herself, then why is she secretly hiding a spaceship in the main base of 9786, and on the way to Ceres, including being so familiar with the road on the black market, I am afraid that this woman will still have a lot of fallacies to fool herself.

Therefore, I still ended this topic neatly, and don't let this woman tease her own good in vain.

"Yes, yes, yes, what your old man said is very right, very right, well, well, yes, it really benefits me a lot, boy."

"Phewβ€”β€”!" Su Ruyu responded to Lu An with a crisp voice.

"Whewβ€”β€”, okay, no kidding, what are we going to do next?"

Su Ruyu blinked her eyes and said, "What are you doing?" Sleep, or else? What do you want? ”

"Uh, sleep? It sounds a little boring. ”

"Why don't we sleep together?" Su Ruyu squinted her eyes and asked.

Lu An coughed vigorously, a little dissatisfied with this obvious joke that crossed the line, he smacked his lips and said, "Don't you think it's strange? Since we left Ceres, the pace of this return trip has become very abnormal. ”

"Abnormal rhythm? What's the wrong way? ”

Lu An wrenched his fingers and said, "Look, you dragged me out of the dormancy chamber once, and then I dragged you out of the dormancy chamber once, you woke me up from the sleeping bag and told me that someone was catching up behind me, and then I woke you up from the sleeping bag again and told you that someone was catching up behind you." This rhythm is clearly alternate between waking up from sleep, waking up and fleeing, falling asleep again after escaping, and running away before waking up after sleeping......"

"Hey, it seems strange to be told by you. However, isn't this rhythm of life also very simple and refreshing, wake up after sleeping, run away after waking up, escape and sleep again, wake up again, run away again, escape to the point where you can't escape anymore, just die, GameOver! Lala, two people die together! ”

Lu An rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Originally, it was just very abnormal, but when you say this, how weird it sounds." ”

Su Ruyu asked rhetorically, "Otherwise? What shall I say? And, when I say that, it becomes normal, okay! ”

"Uh-huh, yes, yes, yes, yes."

Lu Anyan couldn't help but strongly agree, he had fully learned the lesson just now, and did not refute any of her views at all.

Su Ruyu snorted and said, "Don't think I'm making trouble unreasonably, can't I be right?" ”

Lu An nodded weakly, it turns out that you also knew that you were making trouble unreasonably before?

"Is there any difference between waking up and running away, running away and falling asleep, sleeping and waking up again, waking up and running away? Not really. It's just that what we are chasing behind our butts is a warship, a warship that is going to die at any time, visible to the naked eye, in ordinary life, people are chasing behind their butts is just the so-called Grim Reaper, holding a sickle that harvests people's lives, but people can't see it. They just don't seem to be running away, they wake up every day after sleeping, eating and drinking, or working or studying or playing, and then one day the scythe that swings it can't escape, and then they die! Is it very different from where we are now? ”

Lu An's eyes suddenly changed, he secretly glanced at Su Ruyu, and for the first time felt that this woman, who had made a mess of her own life in the past, suddenly had a very subtle breath of life, and her image seemed to suddenly become different.

"Of course it's different."

Su Ruyu turned her head and stared at Lu An: "Huh? ”

"If we're all a bunch of monkeys, and every day we open our eyes to a competition for survival, or run away from death, or run to bring death, whether it's hunting or dodging, then that's the analogy. If our life is really just a flight, as simple as work, study, play, or eating, drinking, and Lazar, then it would actually be good, just like we are now, either run away or not run away, or wait for death or die later, it is not difficult to accept it at all! ”

Lu An touched his nose as he spoke, and said, "Although I really don't want to die now, I still want to escape as far away as possible." ”

After hearing this, Su Ruyu stared at Lu An in a daze for a while, so that Lu An couldn't help touching his face up and down, and asked, "What's wrong?" What happened to my face? ”

Su Ruyu reacted and replied, "It's nothing." ”

Then, the moment she turned her head to the ground, she muttered "little fart" again.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly said: "You are right, in fact, most of such analogies are just the self-inflicted sentiments of many people, how can there be any certain death!" Didn't that book say that there is death before there is life, and death is not life and death. What kind of death, what sickle, it's just the boring fantasy of those people in prehistory, no wonder at that time, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, these boring fantasies were to be eliminated. ”

That book, without mentioning the title, naturally refers to the "interstellar age" written by the well-known great prophet, although the book that people usually have in their impression today has long been unrecognizable.

"Yes, if it weren't for that, how would we have a chance to get to where we are now with human footprints all over the solar system? If those things hadn't been wiped out in the great alliance wave of the galaxy, we might have to fantasize more deeply towards some fantasy image now, and then just wait quietly for death. ”

The vastness of the universe, the lonely and indifferent interstellar voyage, and the extremely small human body crossing the vast cosmic distance, such scenes often make people who are immersed in the scene have endless reverie and illusions.

This is not just the presumptuous assertion of the great prophets, but an extremely common phenomenon discovered during the primitive interstellar voyages of pre-galactic mankind. At that time, some people made an analogy, if the test in the Age of Discovery was man's cognition of the vast ocean, the earth, and the external world, what was destroyed was only the human body; Then the "Great Voyage" of the interstellar era tests people's cognition of themselves, people's cognition of the internal world of themselves, and destroys the human spirit.

So, the people of the interstellar era solved this problem very cleverly, that is, - all hibernation!

Isn't it nice to wake up and arrive at your destination? Anyway, in your sleep, you won't have too many questions, you won't doubt, you won't ask back, you won't have any entanglement, and you can easily solve any problem of long-distance interstellar travel. After all, interstellar travel at that time was often measured in years.

It would be very bad if people were awake and wasted their time in the long, boring darkness of space. There will always be moments of doubt, there will always be moments when questions are asked; And if people ask questions, then the consequences are really unimaginable, the earth shakes, and the world collapses.

Once shaken, people will always look for sustenance.

So, in the abridged or unabridged "interstellar age," the first priority is to eliminate religion, which in the eyes of the great prophet is the greatest stumbling block to humanity's march into space.

In the wave of great alliance, no matter how much right and wrong, there are many merits and demerits that are difficult to judge, but there is always one thing that is unquestionable, which is "political correctness" in the interstellar era, that is, the term that has completely disappeared, and is called the existence of fantasy and gadget by the two - religion.

Although the truth behind the fog may not be entirely true, it is what people know about that history.
