Chapter 4: Deep Dive

Although Yang Rui was manic in his heart, he did not lose his wisdom. He kept watching and thinking in order to figure out what was going on in him. Trying to find some flaws to prove that it was all just a dream.

But the truth is, he did observe some phenomena.

Regardless of time, the new star was not as unstable as it had been at the beginning, and though it was still powerful and too hot to get closer, it had finally quieted down, radiating its energy in a constant state.

And the countless fragments around him that were large and small from her birth also stabilized after the initial madness. The thick cosmic dust gradually dissipated, and the sight of this space became clear.

As if in line, Yang Rui found himself in third place among the planets orbiting the new star, with two smaller planets orbiting at high speed ahead of him.

Behind him, about six planets are flying in their respective orbits, and the middle one, with a dense ribbon of meteorites, is surrounding him, looking like a certain sun hat from a distance.

When Yang Rui saw this picture, he suddenly realized that everything in front of him was a dynamic picture of the operation of the solar system. The nine planets in turn orbit the Sun in their own orbits. And his position is exactly the Earth's orbit in the solar system.

Thinking of this, he had a new understanding with his rich scientific knowledge, and at the same time, he also fell into more inexplicable irritability and doubt.

First, he had identified himself as a planet, which was in the early stages of a new star. And what he had experienced and what knowledge he had told him that he was in the early days of the formation of the solar system. It is estimated that it is 4.54 billion years ago.

And the planet that he has become may be the Earth at the beginning of the birth of the solar system.

This may be the result of facts, which makes him a little unacceptable. He didn't know if he was dead or in some unknown state. The scene of the crash of the space station is still vivid, and the mysterious black hole that sucked itself into it. All this is an unknown mystery, perhaps a mystery that will never be solved.

But the reality is that Yang Rui can't go back to his home, because even his body has disappeared, I'm afraid his girlfriend will not accept the fact that a ball full of magma appeared in front of her and kept saying that it was her boyfriend.

The phrase "I want to go home" has been floating in his mind for a long time, making his emotions also unstable, and the lava sea on the surface of the planet is constantly squeezing and rolling against each other, setting off monstrous waves.

Yang Rui can see all this, if there is a mirror, he knows that he must be very hideous.

Although he confirms that he is a planet, he still does not accept this fact. Because it's not scientific. He is a proponent of the multiverse theory and believes that there may be an identical self in another universe. And under the influence of his girlfriend, he is also silent about gods such as heaven and hell, and even as a Chinese, he can accept reincarnation under the influence of his parents.

He can face death calmly, and if he is not reincarnated as a human in the next life, he can accept it if he becomes a kitten, a puppy, or even a snake.

However, turning into a planet was something he could never have imagined.

At first, he thought that his so-called soul was just attached to this angry planet, with no body, no shape, only consciousness and thought. But every time a meteorite hits, he can feel pain.

The movement of the asteroid's inner core is closely related to his emotions, and every roar, every huge emotional swing can cause more magma to erupt from the planet's interior and set off waves of lava thousands of meters high.

It was the most spectacular red wave he had ever seen, and it seemed to have been caused by his own hands.

He wanted to express his anger, but he didn't have the hands to raise his middle finger to the sky. He also couldn't escape the gravitational shackles of the new star, the Sun, because it was 109 times bigger than himself.

The whole solar system is like a movie theater, when you face the sun, it is like facing a huge wide screen, the dazzling sunlight illuminates everything, and on the side of the planet Yang Rui, the magma rolls and squeezes, refracting the terrifying scarlet. On the other side of the planet is a terrifying black color and a red mixture of fresh magma erupting from time to time.

In short, this is an unquiet planet, which is the earth that has just been born.

Suddenly, a voice sounded out of nowhere, and its attitude was extremely amiable, and it said, "Welcome back my child." ”

Yang Rui seemed to be as excited as a survivor who had been adrift on the sea for many years to see land, and he quickly shifted his gaze to every place he could reach, impatiently searching for the source of the sound.

In his mind, there were some of his last memories of being human, the voice that had been heard when he had fallen into the black hole.

He asked aloud, "Who are you?" ”

It says, "Who are you to ask?" ”

Yang Rui was a little puzzled, and said to himself: "Who am I?" ”

"That's right, my child." Its tone was calm and calm: "Who are you?" ”

"My name is Yang Rui, I was born in China, and I am now an astronaut on the International Space Station. ”

It says, "You used to be, and now you have a new beginning." ”

Yang Rui was a little angry and roared, "What kind of new beginning is this? Even if I die, even if there is really heaven or hell, I am willing to go anywhere, because I can see my family and my lover when I become a ghost. But now that's all gone! Where the hell am I? Tell me! ”

It smiled, smiled very calmly, and in the face of Yang Rui's series of questions, he replied: "Everything in the world, including this vast universe, has its original starting point, and you just returned to that starting point. Therefore, it is necessary to start from scratch. You are now in a new space with a unique form of life that includes endless power and faith. It will all lead you back to where you want to go. ”

"Back to my home?" Yang Rui looked a little uneasy.

It says, "Wherever you want to go, as long as you can go with determination." ”

Seeing that Yang Rui was silent, it said again: "Rui, you are a brand new life, a masterpiece of the universe, you need to prove that you are omnipotent, and I will witness your growth until you can understand the meaning of life in the universe." ”

At this point, it stopped talking, no matter how Yang Rui called and cursed, it was to no avail. In Yang Rui's eyes, only the vast starry sky around him and the boiling planet in front of him remained.

For the long time to come, Yang Rui must accept the reality that he will face the entire universe alone. This is a very frustrating fact.

The planets in the solar system have calmed down since the Big Bang, but they still collide violently every moment. Causing incalculable losses while generating immeasurable amounts of energy.

The image is like a pachinko machine, with countless steel balls being ejected into the fuselage and colliding in all directions, making a pleasant sound, indicating that the person who indulged him has received more points and prizes.

This makes no sense to Yang Rui.

As a brand-new planet, he is still suffering from asteroid impacts, although it has decreased a lot compared to before, but he must learn to be patient in the face of meteorites and asteroids that are like dust swept up by storms.

There are also some stable planets in this damn space, and according to Yang Rui's visual inspection, these big planets all have different surnames, and they seem to have very spiritual surnames.

He expects these planets to be as conscious and thoughtful as he is. He had tried to communicate with them, too.

Too far away is Mercury, the planet that revolves wildly around his master, the sun, like a neurotic puppy. It's a bit like James. And the big planet farthest away from Yang Rui, Yang Rui called him Pluto, he was like an old man in his twilight years, and his movements were staggering. Jupiter is the biggest, ugly in appearance, but very quiet, much like the Russian cosmonaut Kirov.

For a while, Yang Rui felt that the sun was his most hated boss Peter, no matter how angry and crazy he was, he could never escape from the palm of his hand, which made Yang Rui very distressed.

He wants to be free, but he can never get rid of it.

But for himself, Yang Rui has a new understanding. For now, as a new planet, he is restless, and in addition to orbiting the sun, he is constantly rotating.

He also has some evidence for the concept of time. He focused his consciousness, or rather, his gaze on a huge lava vortex, using this vortex as a reference point to measure the length of time.

After going through a process from the beginning of the day to the beginning of the day, and then to the beginning, although there is no accurate measuring instrument, but with his common sense, he used to judge that the rotation of his planet is very fast, and there are less than 8 hours a day.

After that, his gaze stayed on the surface of the planet for most of the time, and he hated the ugly face of the sun. Every inch of the lava sea is inspected every hour and every night, observing their ups and downs and ebb and flow.

At this time, an incalculable amount of carbon dioxide and nitrogen floats on the surface of the planet. They spread all over and scorched together, held in by the gravitational pull of the planets, forming a huge, thick membrane that was the original atmosphere, and smelled very pungent.

This is by no means a home, but it is similar to the biblical description of hell, and Yang Rui will not be surprised if a demon suddenly emerges from the hot magma.

With the concept of time, Yang Rui's words have some fun, and his current state of mind tends to calm down a little, although he does not accept this reality, but he is really powerless.

In addition to watching the rise and fall at a spot on the planet's surface every day, he also diligently and meticulously explores the secrets beneath the lava sea.

The planet was actually a hollow ball, and the inner core was wrapped in a mysterious substance, which was beyond Yang Rui's comprehension, but he was sure of one thing. The inner core of this substance has infinite energy and is controlled by itself.

Outside of the mysterious substance is a much wider space. He made a rough estimate, almost thousands of kilometers at an altitude, which is a huge area, transparent. Pure, free of impurities, and very pleasant.

In this space, there are many huge geological structures like pipes, which are the channels through which magma is transported from the inner core to the surface of the planet, and the closer you get to the surface, the pipes gradually shrink and become more and more dense, like the blood vessels of the human body: the aorta is connected to the rich and fine capillaries. The same goes for these magma channels.

Yang Rui often leaps through the huge pipeline jungle, and sometimes he worries that too much magma on the surface will cause these structures to collapse, but in fact his worries are unnecessary.

These pipes are sturdy, seemingly impossible to destroy, and are still growing healthily as the core pulsates.

Yang Rui can feel that his consciousness communicates with these real substances in some form, just like a living body, this planet is also alive, and Yang Rui is its soul.

At the beginning, Yang Rui also rigorously recorded the passage of time. He knew the changes of the stars every day, but gradually, he became lazy, or more precise, discouraged. He no longer records these astronomical phenomena and is indifferent to his own changes.
