Earth Era

The universe is dark and lonely, and it is extremely empty, but empty space does not mean safety.

This universe is still too mysterious. Even with the technology of today's human civilization, we only have a superficial understanding of the universe. Who knows what dangers may arise in this open space? Maybe a burst of dark energy can swallow up the entire spacecraft silently, maybe a passing black hole can destroy the spacecraft...

The most dangerous situation is not when you know what you are facing, but... you simply don't know what you will encounter, and everything is unpredictable. This is the horror of long-distance space travel.

Therefore, Wei Feng is not confident that he will be able to wake up after ten years. Before being anesthetized, Wei Feng even thought that if he could die without consciousness and sleep until the end of the universe, it might be a blessing.

The Xinghai spacecraft is suspended quietly in the dark and vast universe. Because there is no reference object, even if it is moving at a speed of three thousand kilometers per second, it still looks stationary.

Although all non-essential equipment was shut down, the rotation of the spacecraft continued, so artificial gravity always existed. Because there is no air here to slow down the rotation of the spacecraft, if there are no accidents, it will continue to rotate like this and never stop.

There are endless stars in the distance watching here, watching this small spaceship floating here. The universe is always quiet. No one disturbs the spacecraft. Correspondingly, it will not disturb any existence in the universe.

Every month or so, the spacecraft will make a little noise, the lights will brighten once, and each module of the spacecraft, including life support equipment, temperature control equipment, pressurization equipment, etc., will operate once, but all equipment They will only operate for a maximum of five minutes before shutting down, and then the spacecraft will become quiet and cold again.

That was Ye Luo testing whether there were any problems with each module of the spacecraft, and at the same time preventing damage to the spacecraft components caused by being idle for a long time.

In this solitude. Time is slipping away little by little. I don’t know how long it took, but there was movement inside the Xinghai spacecraft again. The first thing that appeared was the sound of babble. The sound means there is gas inside the spacecraft. That's right, the leaf falls at this moment once again released the gases suitable for human survival that had been recovered and stored before, and filled the entire activity area with them. After the gas appeared, the air filtering equipment started working, and then the temperature control equipment also started working, gradually adjusting the temperature of the air to 26 degrees Celsius - which is the most suitable temperature for human survival.

After all this work is done, the lighting equipment is turned on. The hull communication module is on and the electronics are on. Bright light also appeared in the hibernation room, and a flashing display screen appeared.

Ten years have passed, and it's time to wake up Wei Feng. The reason why Wei Feng is awakened every ten years is mainly due to three reasons. First, hibernating for too long will cause irreversible damage to the human body. Waking up once every ten years of hibernation allows the human body to automatically repair these injuries. Second, The first reason is that ten years is not a short period of time after all. During these ten years, one or two of the tens of millions of parts that make up the spacecraft will always be damaged, and these parts need to be repaired or replaced by Wei Feng. Modules that have not failed also need to be inspected to prevent major failures. at the same time. After all, Ye Luo is not a real artificial intelligence. It will accumulate some bugs during its operation, and these bugs cannot be eliminated by itself. It can only rely on Wei Feng to help it eliminate them. The third reason is that the earth needs to confirm that Wei Feng is still alive and that the Xinghai spacecraft is still operating normally. At the same time, the earth sometimes transmits some instructions to the spacecraft for Wei Feng to execute.

The Earth also has the authority to wake up the satellite in an emergency. If the Earth considers it necessary, they will send an instruction, which will be verified by Ye Luo. The falling leaves will wake up Wei Feng.

Of course, this wake-up is just a routine wake-up. There is no urgent or major task.

The light returned to the hibernation chamber, and the hibernation cabin began to slowly heat up. After the heating process was completed, the hibernation capsule was ejected from the cabin and exposed to the hibernation chamber.

The cover of the hibernating cabin is transparent, and through the cover you can clearly see Wei Feng lying in the hibernating cabin. Wei Feng's expression was peaceful and calm, as if he was asleep. His chest would still rise and fall, but the rise and fall would be extremely slow. In a hibernating environment, it would take almost a whole day for him to take a breath, and his heart would beat almost once a day.

"Captain, it's time for you to wake up." Ye Luo's unique neutral voice appeared in the hibernation cabin again. Of course, Wei Feng couldn't hear these sounds.

Under Ye Luo's control, several needles controlled by robotic arms appeared in the hibernation cabin. These needles were inserted into different parts of Wei Feng's body at the same time, and then some drugs of different colors were injected. As the temperature in the hibernation cabin increased, these drugs began to take effect, and Wei Feng's heartbeat and breathing gradually began to speed up.

Compared with the process of falling asleep, the process of waking up is much longer. It took half a day for Wei Feng's heartbeat and breathing to return to normal levels, but Wei Feng still closed his eyes and fell into the deepest sleep, without any consciousness.

The light blue liquid inside the hibernation cabin gradually faded and eventually disappeared completely. As the light blue liquid faded away, the hatch also opened, and warm, moist air that could make people feel the greatest degree of comfort poured in.

Wei Feng's eyelids twitched silently, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes. Although his eyes have been opened, there is no focus in the pupils, which shows that Wei Feng has not yet regained consciousness.

Although the lights were on in the hibernation cabin, the lights were extremely dim. This was set by Ye Luo in advance. After all, Wei Feng had been sleeping for ten years. If he was exposed to too strong light the moment he opened his eyes, Wei Feng's eyes would go blind.

But even such dim light still made Wei Feng feel a little stinging. So Wei Feng closed his eyes as a reflex, and closed them for a long time before opening them again. This time, Wei Feng's eyes became much clearer.

The blurry scene in front of me gradually began to become clear. Wei Feng saw the milky white walls and everything in the hibernation room again. Wei Feng groaned and felt a twisted pain in his head. The pain was like the feeling after waking up after a night of hangover after drinking too much wine. Wei Feng knew that this was one of the side effects of hibernation. During the process of hibernation, the brain would lose a lot of water and shrink. Although it was relieved during the awakening process, it would never return to normal levels.

The cause of headaches after a hangover is also due to brain shrinkage, which is the same as Wei Feng after hibernation. Solving this situation is actually very simple, just drink some water and take a rest.

Wei Feng was still lying in the hibernation cabin without moving. A pipe suddenly stretched out next to Wei Feng's mouth. Wei Feng opened his mouth and bit the pipe, and some water with a suitable temperature slowly spurted out. Wei Feng drank for a while and then stopped. He closed his eyes and rested for a while before sitting up.

"Captain, welcome back." Ye Luo's voice reached Wei Feng's ears at this moment, and at the same time, a trolley-shaped robot also delivered Wei Feng's clothes.

Wei Feng's body was still a little stiff, so Wei Feng's movements in putting on clothes seemed a little clumsy. After sleeping for too long, Wei Feng's tongue was no longer flexible, and his words were a little vague: "Hello, Ye Luo, how long have I been asleep?"

Although the words were a bit vague, Ye Luo still understood them and responded: "Captain, you have been sleeping for ten years and eight days. I guess the quality of your sleep must be very good, right?"

Wei Feng didn't know whether the quality of his sleep was good or not. Wei Feng only felt that he slept for a long, long time. At this moment, Wei Feng even felt like he had lived again.

Wei Feng put on his clothes and climbed out of the hibernation cabin with some difficulty. He only replied "It's okay" and stood there holding on to the wall and began to pant.

Ye Luo asked: "Captain, do you need me to lower the gravity a little?"

The gravity of the Xinghai spacecraft is formed by the rotation of the spacecraft. If you want to lower or increase the gravity, you only need to change the rotation speed of the spacecraft. This is a very simple matter.

"No." Wei Feng replied, "Did anything happen while I was sleeping?"

"Many things happened, but none of them reached the point where I need to wake you up." Ye Luo replied, "Three parts of the spacecraft's orbit adjustment propulsion module have failed and need you to replace them. A refractive lens in the positioning system is contaminated by dust. You go and clean it up. There is a filter in the life support system that you need to replace... Well, in the past ten years of operation, my own program has accumulated thirty-eight small bugs that need you to eliminate, and, I am A month ago, I received a notice from the Earth for you to check. The rest is fine."

"Okay, I will do these things after I have a good rest." Wei Feng replied. After a pause, Wei Feng asked: "Ye Luo... what is the distance between us and the earth now?"

"We are now... 948.6 billion kilometers away from the earth. It takes about thirty-seven days for signals from the earth to be transmitted to us." (To be continued ~^~)
