Annihilation of the solar system

Chapter 382: Going Home

Zhou Cheng spent more than an hour reorganizing all the clues despite his tiredness, and after removing those irrelevant interfering items. He looked at this logical chain from both his own and Cao Rui's perspective, and supplemented it with

The most rigorous thought experiment was conducted to demonstrate, and the results were clearly presented before his eyes - Cao Rui had something to tell him, and the truth of the matter was probably at his home in Jinghua!

He immediately burned all the research materials, and then slept for a few hours. At dawn, he hurried to Rutte's house.

"Hey, Old Zhou! It's so early today!" Lutte, who was walking his dog on the grass behind the house, greeted Zhou Cheng enthusiastically.

Zhou Cheng briefly exchanged greetings and then went straight to the topic. He asked:

explain

"Lao Lu, I remember there is an aircraft in your barn, can you take me to see it?"

Lu Te looked at Zhou Cheng curiously:

"Hey, are you interested in aircraft?"

"Well, I want to know more about it," Zhou Cheng replied.

"That's fine. I see you take so many books home from the library every day. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you'll get bored." Lutte said as he led Zhou Cheng to the barn.

Lut pulled open the tarp, and a birotor aircraft appeared in front of him.

"This is an old-fashioned rotorcraft with technology from hundreds of years ago. It uses nuclear batteries and electric propellers. It is not fast but very reliable. I will use it when spreading pesticides or when I need to go to the Eternal City."

"Is this thing easy to learn? I mean, is it difficult to learn to drive it?" Zhou Cheng asked.

Lu Te looked at Zhou Cheng with a smile:

"Haha, compared to the smart aircraft in the city, it does not have fully autonomous flight capabilities. However, it still has basic functions such as automatic take-off and landing, active obstacle avoidance, and preset route maintenance. It is very simple to learn.

p

The reason why I like her is because she does not have the ability to fly autonomously, so she can truly fly freely without being monitored and controlled by the ubiquitous Internet of Things."

Zhou Cheng felt a burst of joy in his heart and asked again:

"Then can you teach me how to drive her?"

"Of course, let's see when you are free!" Rutte said as he tried to close the tarp again.

Zhou Cheng reached out and grabbed the tarpaulin that was being covered, and looked at Lu Te firmly:

"Now!"

The aircraft slowly took off in the morning light, swaying across the plains, slowly passing through the layers of forest, moving steadily between the mountains, and returning along the creek valley at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Arriving at the farm, we landed on the grass outside the barn.

"Lao Zhou, I discovered that you are a genius. You are so proficient in flying for the first time. It is amazing!" Lu Te sighed.

Zhou Cheng let go of the sweaty joystick and smiled:

"It's because you taught me well, and the auxiliary system of this aircraft is also very powerful. I finished all my work and avoided dangerous places in advance."

"That's true, this thing is not much more difficult than driving." Rutte said as he opened the hatch.

"Can I try flying solo by myself?" Zhou Cheng suddenly asked.

Rutte hesitated for a moment but nodded:

"Okay, just be careful, there is no risk. Although the main engine of this aircraft is old, there is no risk of crashing."

Just when Lutte stepped out of the aircraft, Zhou Cheng stopped him:

"By the way, Lao Lu. I have something else I want to ask you."

"what's up?"

"If I leave the town for a period of time, will they still keep the things I mortgaged in the management center for me?" Zhou Cheng asked.

Rutte smiled and replied:

"Don't worry, they are not interested in your treasures. As long as you are not confirmed to be dead, those things will be kept for you.

In fact, the reason why the town management center needs to provide a mortgage is to keep what you think is precious, not what they think is precious. Only in this way can you truly stay in the town."

"Oh, okay, I understand. Then I'll try flying a solo lap." After saying that, Zhou Cheng piloted the aircraft and left the ground.

After the aircraft reached the cruising altitude, Zhou Cheng took out a worn-out map from his pocket. It was a national map from six and a half centuries ago that he tore out from historical materials, combined with the latest topographic map, and the inertial navigation system

The calculated coordinates were displayed, and he controlled the aircraft to fly north.

As time goes by, white mottled colors gradually appear on the green carpet-like ground. When the sun sets in the west, the ground is already covered in silver, leaving nothing but vastness.

Zhou Cheng checked his coordinates and confirmed that he had flown near Jinghua City. He looked up. Looking at the distant skyline and the majestic pass, green mountains like the sea, and the majestic thousand-year-old city on the plain with thousands of miles of frost under the blood-like setting sun.

The figure seems to have disappeared in the long river of history.

But as the altitude of the aircraft decreased, the past glory still showed the afterimage on the ice sheet. In the past, the busy roads around the city were like scabs, intermittently carved on the snow. Row upon row.

The high-rise buildings are now only piles of undulating ruins, and the landmark buildings have completely disappeared.

Fortunately, among the ruins and bare tree branches, many low buildings have withstood the impact of the boiling groundwater in the Doomsday War and six and a half centuries of erosion. Although they are also crumbling, they still stand among the ruins.

Zhou Cheng parked the aircraft on a relatively flat ground among the ruins. When landing, snowflakes, dead branches and debris flew up from the downwash airflow, causing the fuselage and rotor to make a terrible crashing sound, and alarms sounded frequently on the instrument panel.

Flickering. But he no longer cared about that. He wrapped his coat tightly, picked up the wine bottle to warm himself, and jumped out of the aircraft.

He crawled through the ruins and came to the row of dilapidated low buildings he saw from the air. Even though only the bare concrete wall pillars were left, Zhou Cheng still recognized the building he had lived in at a glance.

A house that is more than 2 years old.

Many partition walls in the house have collapsed, and to describe it as a house with only four walls is a bit polite. Most of the ceilings, furniture, and decorations have been reduced to debris, but from some of the remaining objects, Zhou Cheng can still restore each of them.

What the corner once looked like.

Seeing that the wave of memories was about to flood into his heart again, Zhou Cheng quickly took a deep breath and calmed down. Then he opened the wine bottle and took a sip to dispel the chill, and then went to the dining room that only he could recognize.

, the old wine that Cao Rui cherishes is placed in the locker in the corner of the dining room.

Only a few frame wooden strips and a piece of debris were left in the former locker. Zhou Cheng began to rummage through the ruins. The decayed debris was beyond recognition, but Zhou Cheng could still roughly recognize that they were fans and induction cookers.

, electric woks, folding chairs, etc., because he put these things in with his own hands back then.

Suddenly, he found a relatively intact wooden box among the ruins. Although the surface was covered with dust and the paint and textures on the box were mottled, Zhou Cheng judged from the size that this was the box he used to contain old wine.

He carefully moved away the debris around the box and found that the whole box was still intact. Then he tentatively opened the lid of the box. With the light of his bracelet, he found that there were only some fragments of wine bottles, a few bottle caps and a bottle in the wooden box.

There was an empty wine bottle. He picked up a bottle cap, looked at it, and put it aside.

Zhou Cheng did not dare to neglect, and carefully took out each piece of the box as if doing a physics experiment and placed it aside. Then he carefully inspected the empty wine bottle, the inner and outer walls of the box, and the ground below the box.

. He even carefully observed the fractures of each broken glass of the wine bottle, but in the end he found nothing.

After working on it for a long time, the sky was already dark. Zhou Cheng stood in front of the ruins in a daze, white air spurting out from his mouth and then disappearing. The light of the bracelet illuminated the beads of sweat on his forehead.

Covered in dust and empty eyes.

The cold wind carried tiny snowflakes and poured in through the windowless windows and holes in the remaining walls. The howling of the north wind in the ruins penetrated people like the inexplicable screams of ghosts and gods. But Zhou Cheng did not feel terrible at all.

Terrified because he went home.
