Chapter 60: Time Flies
Cao Ge forgot the most important point, that is, he had no way of knowing the specific time when Kupa and the others had landed, nor could he know whether they had landed.
This is also the reason why Ren Fei immediately asked Murphy to control the spaceship back.
Because he was flying at full speed, he flew very fast, and it only took him about forty minutes to fly from the North Pole to the original crash point.
The waves on the planet seem to never stop, one passes, and the other comes, and the interval between the two waves is only a short thirty minutes.
When Cao Ge arrived, he saw a space shuttle being hit by the huge waves, with an altitude of nearly a thousand meters.
Cao Ge let Murphy hover like this, and did not choose to land, because if the waves did not pass, he had nothing to do.
"It seems that the man is dead." Cao Ge looked at the white, boat-like spaceship in the middle of the huge waves, and shook his head slightly.
The spaceship, with a total area of no more than 50 square meters, is an eagle in the air, but in the water it becomes a precarious wreck, and it is in danger of sinking at any time.
The person Cao Ge said in his mouth was the man who saved Dr. Brand in the original play, what is the name of that person, Cao Ge has forgotten, the time is too long.
……………………
Spaceship Hope.
Coopa and Dr. Brand sat in their chairs, staggering as the ship swayed.
This drift lasted for an hour, which means that they wasted two hours of time, which is fourteen years on the earth.
"Hold on to !!" Coopa shouted.
The last wave has hit, and the ship is about to land.
As long as they survive the last wave, they can survive.
The Hopeful has been tilted at an angle of almost 90 degrees, and it is in danger of capsizing at any moment.
But this time the goddess of hope was on their side, and they managed to cross it, and the sea slowly returned to calm.
As soon as the ship returned to stability, Coopa in the main pilot seat had already begun to adjust the ship and prepare for takeoff, but he pressed the start button several times in a row, but the ship's engine did not respond.
Coopa didn't blame Bland, the cause of the accident, because he didn't have time, and on this planet, time is the most precious resource, and not a single second can be wasted.
But the succession of non-responses made Koopa a little irritated, so they asked loudly while pressing the switch continuously, "Case, what's going on?" ”
Keith is the artificial intelligence of the spaceship, if there is a problem with the spaceship, it can get the data in the first time, so he needs Keith to give the reason, and he needs to solve it immediately.
"The ship has too much water and needs to be drained in order to start the engine." As soon as Cooper's words fell, Keith gave the question.
"Damn !!" When Coopa heard the news, he slapped his hands on the console in a rage to show that he was very angry.
"I said it, leave me alone, why don't you leave." Ms. Brand, who collapsed to the ground, cried and blamed herself.
Brand wept for the doctor who died trying to save him, and for the decades of precious time they were about to waste.
Coopa got up and came to him and squatted down, held her head tightly with deep hands, looked at her and said angrily: "I also said, let you come back quickly, why don't you come back, you just care about finding some damn data." ”
"The difference is that one of us only cares about that damn mission." Coopa directly stood up and scolded loudly, and the implication was already very obvious.
"What about you, you just care if you can get home." Brand cried.
"I just want to do the right thing." Brand cried, apparently the failure of the operation hit her hard.
"You said that to Doyle, right?" Coopa said, staring.
With that, he ignored Ms. Brand and returned to the driver's seat again, asking Case, "How long will it take?" ”
"Forty-five minutes to an hour, Cooper."
Hearing this answer, the expression on Coopa's face was obviously a lot disappointed.
One hour means that the earth will have another seven years, which is twenty-one years in total, and if you add the days they fly, it will be about twenty-five years.
Twenty-five years may not be a lot on the scale of the universe, but for a short-lived human being, it is already one-third of life.
And, before they set off, Dr. Brand Sr. told him that the last food on Earth, plants, would also be extinct in a few decades, so it was possible that in an hour, the Earth would be gone.
All of this they did probably didn't make sense.
Disappointed, Coopa took off his helmet and sat down on the deck.
"The elements of life? How much does this cost? Coopa asked, pointing to the water outside.
"Big, decades of time."
Coopa's eyes tightened, trying to calm his emotions.
"What's going on with Miller?" Then he asked.
"Judging by the wreckage of the information launcher, shortly after landing, he was shattered by a huge wave." Brand explained.
"Then why is it that after all these years, the wreckage is still in place?" Coopa asked, puzzled.
"Because time has slowed down, according to the time of this planet, he may have just landed a few hours ago, and he may have died a few minutes ago."
"The data Doyle got was just a constant loop." Keith on the side suddenly interjected.
"We weren't prepared for that, you nerds have survival skills like the Boy Scouts." Coopa shook his head and cursed.
He is very helpless about this kind of problem, because it is not in his field of expertise.
"Our wisdom has brought us here, the farthest distance in human history so far." Brand retorted.
"But that's not enough, right now, we're trapped here until there's no one on Earth for us to save." Coopa scolded.
Coopa lowered his head and quickly said, "Is it possible that we enter the black hole, go back in time, or regain lost time." ”
Hearing this, Brand shook his head helplessly.
"Brand, don't shake your head at me." Coopa scolded.
"Time is relative, you know? He can slow down or prolong, but he just can't go backwards, and that's the theory of relativity, Cooper. ”
"Okay, then...... Is it possible that those who have guided us to speak to us in the future? ”
Hearing this, Brand seemed to hear a funnier joke, first smiling mockingly and then saying: "Okay, Coopa, I know you want to regain lost time, but it's impossible, they may not be three-dimensional people at all, time may be a mountain to climb for them, and we can't." ”
"Oh, Brand, my daughter is only ten years old, and I haven't had time to teach her Einstein's theory of relativity......"
"I can't help it, let you reclaim the time that has disappeared, but I can make you reduce the waste of seven years." Cao Ge's voice rang out from the speakers.
Hearing this, the two of them were stunned and looked at Keith at the same time.
"Yes, Dr. Miller." Case explained.
Cao Ge saw that the waves had passed, and immediately controlled the spaceship and landed.
