Chapter 10 Arrival at the Oort Nebula
Milky Way Orion spiral arm, Oort Nebula.
This is the cosmic graveyard left over from the Big Bang 10 billion years ago, where most of the material produced by the nuclear collision was carried away by gravity, leaving only scattered ice crystals and silicate dust that operated as they always did and were willing to spend millions of years to condense into comets.
The distance of 50,000 astronomical units (one astronomical unit is equal to the distance from the Earth to the Sun, about 150 million kilometers) turns the Sun into an inconspicuous bright spot, like a flickering candle drowning in the background of the stars. 3 The heat radiated from the back of the Kelvin universe could not even stir up the normal thermal motion of a single molecule of water, and they clinged to the thin interstellar dust, drifting like ghosts in space colder than hell.
Suddenly, the void, which was quieter than death, was disturbed, and the thin interstellar matter seemed to be divided into countless slices, each layer rippling.
The space moved, and a crack appeared at the bottom of a calm lake. Space is draining, the surface of the lake is cone-shaped, and even the starlight is becoming strange.
Some objects emerge from the bottom of the vertebrae, as if a group of strangely shaped fish emerge from the water, and it turns out that the whirlpool is not suction but buoyancy. Then came the second, and then the third, like a string of scrambled blocks. They were followed by an equally long procession of creatures, all wrapped in misshapen armor as if carved out of a mold.
When the last creature also leaves the bottom of the cone, the taper begins to flatten, and finally returns to its original state, and the space returns to calm, and the jump is complete.
"Commander, we're here." The first Zerg scout to come out said to the communication device inside the deep space suit.
"Immediately test the celestial coordinates, spatial coefficients, and all objects with a diameter greater than 1,000 kilometers within a light-year radius of the perimeter." The new commander commanded.
"Yes." The scout activates the deep space suit mobile device and floats towards the pile of "building blocks" in front of him, where there are accompanying neutrino detectors.
The commander dialed the communication device to the sapper band: "Check the integrity of the ship and prepare for assembly." ”
The sapper replied directly with action, already drifting towards the ship module.
After a while, the scout sent video data: the celestial coordinates were correct, and the deviation was less than 0.01%; The density of matter is 10 molecules per cubic centimeter, the temperature is 3 Kelvin, and there are hundreds of billions of ice crystal diffusers in the range of 0.1 light years, most of which are H2O, CO2, (CN)2, and a few are conventional metals and calcium. In addition, due north of the celestial sphere, at a distance of 0.5 light-years, there is a perfect star system, which is more perfect than the parent star of Gikara.
The commander looked at the video and froze. Could it be that the gods are helping themselves? What it means to surpass the home planet of Kikala is self-evident - a perfect breeding ground, from which its first descendants will emerge.
The commander involuntarily urged: "The sappers speed up the assembly, the next target, 0.5 light years due north of the celestial sphere." ”
Sagittarius spiral arm Ji Kara home planet, underground palace.
"Someone!"
"What do you command?" The chief of the palace ran in, and the two tentacles leaned forward slightly to express doubt.
"Go and call the military undersecretary here."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The chief of the court withdrew.
Next, the Empress sent the military undersecretary to the right and asked to continue the formation of a miniature expeditionary force, which would continue to teleport in all directions of the adjacent spiral arms. It's called backup, and it's to increase the efficiency of conquest, and it seems that the commander's dream was done a little earlier.
Earth in the solar system, a small mountain village in the mountains of southwest China.
Hu Feng found a piece of nylon paper, tied the mouth of the cup with a cowhide band, and then poked a few pinhole-sized holes in the nylon paper with a toothpick, and it was done, and a cylindrical glass house was completed. After a while, there was the sound of water in the bathroom, and the ant spirit was brushing his teeth.
Taking advantage of this gap, the 1231007 soldier ant is ready to eat the sweet biscuit, but before eating, some preparations must be made. It had eaten some monster brains to satisfy its hunger, and that thing was fishy and smelly, but fortunately it was old-fashioned, and most of it was still temporarily stored in its sac, and now it was too late to regurgitate it. The young soldier ran to the other side of the house and sent a drop of goo from its mouthparts between its jaws, gasping for breath and almost throwing up its stomach. Now that its stomach is empty, it sits on the biscuit and feasts on it.
After eating and drinking, there was another vibration in the space, probably because the gods had returned. 1231007 is not as nervous about this change as it used to be.
Anyway, it's a kind god, and the delicious food just now is enough to prove it, the young soldier ant thought to himself, and fell into deep thought: Since it's a good god, why do you want to lock me up? What is the purpose of giving me delicious food but not freedom?
The queen teachings: The gods are omnipotent, they can get everything they want.
The ant's train of thought was interrupted by the light, and the whole world suddenly went out, and there was darkness all around, and after a squirming sound, everything fell silent. Darkness is a sign of sleep, so do the gods need sleep too? The 1231007 soldier ant recorded this information in its huge brain, because it was new knowledge that even the queen ant had not mentioned.
The darkness makes the 1231007 ant drowsy, its heartbeat slows down with its thoughts (ant sleep is a bit like a short hibernation, its heartbeat is slower than when it is awake), and it begins to dream.
It dreamed that it was taken to heaven by the gods, a place that everyone longed for. It was brought to heaven because of its feat, because it saved the entire city-state and inspired the gods. In fact, heaven is not in the sky, but on the edge of the world, where the four seasons are like spring and flowers; There was no disease, much less savage killing; The water there is clear and transparent, bubbling out of the cracks in the stone to form streams; All the creatures in heaven frolic and chase by the stream, they have no intrigues, no hatred, no troubles, all creatures are part of a big family, and everyone cherishes each other
The gods who took it away told it that there was no way to survive in the heavens. The sky is full of water, covered by a thick layer of cloth, and when it rains, there is a hole in the cloth, and the water leaks, and at this time, the gods will fill the hole, which is also called mending the sky.
The 1231007 Soldier Ant's heartbeat reached its limit, and it finally sank into the abyss of sleep.
A square haze appeared on the curtains, like a screen without images, and the melodious birdsong leaked through the gaps in the tiles, and everything woke up, and the sky dawned.
Bang bang, the vibration of the door carried to the whole room, and the creatures in the room were awakened at the same time: "It's time to get up, if you don't get up, you won't be able to catch the morning train." The woman's fist was more punctual than the alarm clock, and she shook her head as she tapped: I don't sleep at night, I can't afford to do it during the day, young people now, really
No. 1231007 stood up, the ant didn't have to stretch his waist, it shook its head, and cleared its mind, its head was heavy from last night's dream. How could you have such a strange dream?
The Queen Ant's Teachings: Dreams are an answer to questions that cannot be answered when awake.
Could it be that the purpose of the gods in imprisoning themselves is really to take them to heaven? 1231007 Soldier Ant couldn't help but be excited about this idea. That's how it should be, that's the only reasonable explanation, it nodded silently.
