Chapter 102: Cosmic Graveyard
If there's one thing that can't be controlled artificially, it's the universe.
Nangong Tian tinkered in front of the control panel for a long time, but still didn't find any news about Luo Chuan and Landis.
"It's not that there isn't, but there's no trace at all!" As he spoke, Nangong Tian swept the glass of water on the table directly to the ground with his hands.
With the sound of glass shattering on the floor, the ship's controller rang out a familiar electronic chorus, "Do not touch the shards, the glass shards will merge with the floor in five interstellar minutes." ”
Nangong Tian's face was solemn, this was the fifth glass he had broken.
"Nangong" A female voice came, Nangong Tian's left ear moved slightly, and his facial muscles relaxed.
Nangong Tian turned his head and looked at the woman who was walking slowly.
The woman is dressed in a tulle dress, and the light blue color is like a blue sky, giving people a sense of calm.
"Blue Bird" Nangong Tian shouted, and then turned his head and stared at the control panel with countless lights flashing in front of him.
"This is the most high-end spaceship technology in the interstellar, and this control panel is also the most perfect part of this spaceship, but ......" Immediately after, the blue bird's eyes drifted out of the window, "I can't find any trace of Luo Chuan." ”
The "Candy" spacecraft, developed by the Interstellar Science Center, adopts the latest and most technological design from raw materials to design, even the windows and floors on the spaceship.
For example, the windows on the spaceship, people can easily see everything that is happening outside the window through the window from the inside of the spaceship, even if it is thousands of kilometers away in space, but it is such a powerful perspective that it is still impossible to find everything that has happened in the past month.
The ship's floor, made of interstellar materials, whether it is glass crystals or other materials that can easily fall from tables or high altitudes, can be integrated into the floor within five interstellar minutes.
Alerts
Nangong Tian and the Blue Bird raised their heads alertly, and Nangong Tian jumped up directly from the stool.
Alerts
"Security System Activation." An electronic chorus sounded.
Then, a mechanical arm stretched out from the upper part of the spaceship, grabbed Nangong Tian's waist, and threw him onto the sofa opposite, and two arms immediately stretched out at both ends of the sofa to fix him on the sofa.
Nangong Tian turned his head, and in the other corner of the spaceship, the blue bird had been fixed on the sofa in the same way.
"What the hell is going on?" Bluebird asked, as she said, trying to turn sideways and look at the center of the ship.
She was right.
In the open space in the center of the spaceship, a large air screen soon appeared, and a picture clearly appeared on the air screen.
The vast universe, the sky full of stars.
"What's the matter" Nangong Tian said angrily, there must be something wrong with the spaceship, it is obviously a normal space outside, even if it is not normal, it is just a few more meteorites and a few fewer stars, what's the big deal, is it worth touching the spacecraft security system?
However, the next image left him dumbfounded.
Rows and columns of tombstones appeared on the air screen......
"Tombstone" Blue Bird had tears in her eyes, she had never seen such a scene, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.
"Tombstone" Nangong Tian kept repeating this word as if he was nervous, never thinking that there would be such a large tomb group in the universe.
As far as he knew, after the death of the people of the stars, their bodies would be cremated, and then a body would be reduced to a cup of ashes, a handful of dust, but their souls, that is, their consciousness, would be stored.
As for how to store it, he had heard a little, but he hadn't really seen how to store the consciousness of humans and other living beings.
"I've never seen a tombstone like this," said Bluebird, who had the impression that the interstellar tombstone was virtual, always appearing on the air screen when they wanted to see it, and she stopped crying when she thought of it, "The tombstone is virtual, it's fake, we have an illusion!" Bluebird screamed, freeing herself from the massive mechanical arm, but the more she broke free, the more unable she became.
"Don't move." Nangong Tian shouted at the blue bird opposite, the security system of the spaceship will not sound for no reason, even if these tombstones are virtual, there must be something special, otherwise, how could the "Candy" spacecraft stop in space for no reason, and then activate the security system to fix him and the blue bird?
"There must be some reason." Nangong Tian shouted, his voice hoarse and powerful, "Otherwise, the spaceship wouldn't be like this for no reason." ”
The perspective of the air screen begins to change, just like the perspective of a single-lens reflex camera, from a wide angle to a fisheye, the whole picture is ring-shaped, and the simple angle of view is changing, making the original simple picture a little responsible, even heavy.
Blue Bird and Nangong Tian focused their eyes on the air screen almost at the same time.
"Ahead is the Cosmic Graveyard." The synthesized sound sounded again.
Even if it was just an electronic synthesis sound, it was enough to liven up the atmosphere in the spaceship, and Nangong Tian's nerves seemed to relax a little.
"Don't come near the Cosmic Graveyard." The camera of the air screen is right in front of the air gate of the cemetery, the air gate is like a cloud of fog, hovering over the cemetery, looking down from above, the fog above changes the language, interstellar, dark galaxy, and even the language of some small planets, such as Pluto, but the translation is only one sentence, "Do not approach - the cosmic graveyard." ”
Nangong Tian took a deep breath, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he couldn't help but feel a little heartbeat.
"Cosmic Graveyard?" Nangong Tian closed his eyes.
The spaceship's air seemed to be heavy.
The Cosmic Graveyard, according to the interstellar interpretation, is the distribution center for the souls of humans and other living beings in the entire universe.
From a scientific point of view, there is no such thing as "soul", in the eyes of scientists, this word is called "consciousness", and each person's thoughts, memories, and other experiences are recorded in their bodies, which is understandable, and within an hour of their death, there is a special machine that extracts all their thoughts, memories or other experiences from their bodies and records them in the form of digital encoding in a small chip.
A small chip records a person's life, one chip after another, one by one, where are they buried?
No, where is it supposed to be stored?
It's in the cosmic graveyard outside this window.
Seeing the introduction of the cosmic cemetery on the air screen, Nangong Tian couldn't help but feel pained.
It turns out that one day, each of us will remain under this dense fog and be sealed in a small chip forever.
