Earth Era

948.6 billion kilometers is a huge number. Even if it were traveled at the speed of light, it would take more than thirty days. Before Wei Feng completed this journey, the voyage record set by human civilization was only 50 billion kilometers. Wei Feng has now increased this record by nearly twenty times.

In order to set this record, Wei Feng slept for a full ten years.

This should be an exciting thing, but Wei Feng did not have any excited reaction. Instead, he sighed with loneliness: "Oh, we have sailed almost one trillion kilometers..."

One trillion kilometers, almost one-forty-second of the entire one-way journey has been completed. And this... is just heading to the star closest to the sun.

Wei Feng didn't know how to describe this feeling. Perhaps for an ant, crawling a hundred meters is an exciting event, but what if this ant has human thinking and vision?

After resting for a while, Wei Feng felt that his head and body had recovered a little, so he walked out of the hibernation room. Ye Luo has already controlled the dining car robot to deliver Wei Feng's breakfast. Although the concept of day and night has long been gone in the Xinghai spacecraft, Wei Feng is still used to arranging his life according to the schedule on earth. The time now is eight o'clock in the morning, and the meal to eat at this time is of course breakfast.

Breakfast was very light rice porridge, and there was only one bowl - Wei Feng, who had just woken up from hibernation, was not suitable for eating too much. This required Wei Feng's stomach and intestines to gradually adapt before he could recover. Of course, Wei Feng didn't feel hungry at this moment.

After casually finishing the breakfast, Wei Feng rested for a while, and then began restorative exercise under Ye Luo's arrangement. During this period of time, all of Wei Feng's actions, work, rest, and diet will be strictly controlled by Ye Luo. How long to sleep, how long to exercise, how much to eat, and what to eat are all arranged by Ye Luo every day. Because that's the only way. It would take two months for Wei Feng's body to recover and prepare for the next hibernation.

The future is very boring and boring. If there are no accidents, Wei Feng's life will continue this pattern, constantly hibernating and then waking up, constantly conducting restorative training, repairing the entire spacecraft, and helping Ye Luo eliminate bugs accumulated during operation. Occasionally It performs a special mission sent from the earth and then hibernates. It takes more than forty cycles before Wei Feng can reach its destination.

Wei Feng rested for two days before regaining a little energy. Wei Feng still looks sick at this moment, but he can probably act like a normal person. So Wei Feng followed Ye Luo's guidance. And referring to the maintenance manual and maintenance suggestions sent from the earth, began to repair or replace those modules that failed in the spacecraft.

These damaged parts were not very important, so after discovering that they were malfunctioning, Ye Luo did not wake up Wei Feng, but delayed until Wei Feng woke up normally before notifying Wei Feng to replace them. But Ye Luo was not idle during that period. After discovering that those parts were damaged, Ye Luo had already sent the damage information of the relevant parts back to Earth, and then Earth experts gave repair suggestions. Only now Wei Feng could repair these things in an orderly manner.

The round-trip communication from the Xinghai spacecraft to the earth may take anywhere from ten days to two months. However, all this process occurred while Wei Feng was sleeping, so Wei Feng did not need to wait.

Wei Feng spent three days repairing all the failed parts, and then spent another five days eliminating the bugs that Ye Luo had accumulated during its operation. The remaining one and a half months are completely free.

Space navigation is a boring thing. Wei Feng is like a guinea pig, locked in this cylindrical container, except staying here. The rest isn't going anywhere. Long-term loneliness and boredom can easily drive people crazy. Although Wei Feng's spirit has become as tough as iron through decades of training. But this feeling is uncomfortable after all. Compared to this kind of boredom, Wei Feng would rather sleep in a hibernation cabin for more than ten years. But reason told Wei Feng that that was not possible. If he hibernates before his body has fully recovered, Wei Feng will most likely be disabled and unable to move when he wakes up next time.

At this moment, Wei Feng remembered that there was another notice sent to him from the earth. Because the distance between the Xinghai spacecraft and the earth is too long and the communication delay is too long, Weifeng has great autonomy over the Xinghai spacecraft, and the earth generally does not interfere with these things. Even if something happens, it is usually sent directly to Ye Luo and Ye Luo takes control of it. At most, I can just add a blessing to myself. So under this situation, this notice sent directly to myself seems a bit unusual.

Wei Feng was a little annoyed that he had forgotten this matter before. But at the same time, he remembered that Ye Luo did not urge him to check the letter, which showed that there was nothing important in the notice, so he felt relaxed again.

After notifying Ye Luo, Ye Luo sent the notice directly to Wei Feng's personal computer. Before looking at the notice, Wei Feng looked at the signature and found that it was written by Chu Hai to him, and felt a little warm in his heart.

For Wei Feng, among the more than 200 billion people in the entire human civilization, the only one who can be considered a friend... is probably Chu Hai.

"Wei Feng, hello, I'm Chu Hai."

"According to time calculation, you are probably about to wake up from hibernation. When you wake up, the Xinghai spacecraft has probably reached a position of thirty-seven light days from the earth, which means that I am sending you a message It will take thirty-seven days for you to receive the signal. In order not to miss your awakening period, I deliberately woke up from hibernation two months in advance and wrote you this letter."

"The first thing I want to tell you is good news. Well, maybe it's not good news. In short, all the equipment on the ground side of the Gudao Project, including the eight giant antennas, are operating normally. We - Ross That guy gave us a group of people the name of time travelers - we time travelers are also very good. According to the physical data Ye Luo sent back about you, you will probably be very good too. So, first of all, congratulations to you and all of us.”

"How do you feel about the name Time Traveler? We are all people abandoned by the times. We do not belong to any era. We are on a journey about time... After we finish this journey in time , this world has long gone through changes, things and people have changed, but we will not be alone, because on the earth, there are still forty-seven time travelers who belong to the same era as you, waiting for your return. I am Our collective is proud to have endured for thousands of years.”

"I believe you feel the same as me. Being a time traveler is actually not a good experience. Reality requires that we must look at everything in this world from a detached position, even for ordinary people The most common things, such as falling in love, are out of reach for us - think about it, if we have a lover, the last time we saw her, she was still a young girl. The second time we met her, she became a graceful mature woman. The third time we met her, she was already middle-aged. By the tenth time we met, she was already old. For us It was just ten meetings, but for them it was a whole life."

"My friend, I have to say that this is the common sorrow of us time travelers. However, I don't want us to abandon our lives like this. We cannot live like normal people, but we can have a life that is unique to ourselves. method. After discussion among the forty-seven time travelers we left on the earth, we made a decision, that is, when every time traveler is awake, in addition to dealing with daily work , we will also use our eyes and hands to record everything that happens in this world that is worth recording. The age of ordinary people is too short, but we are different. We have a life span of thousands of years, and we can completely stand on a transcendental level. From a stand point, I use my cold eyes and my identity as a witness to record the vicissitudes of the human world over the past thousand years. I think this matter should be very interesting, right?"

"Of course we will not forget you in space, Wei Feng. You are also a member of our time traveler group, and you are the most indispensable. Whenever something important happens in this world, we It will be transmitted to you, so that even if you are in space, you can experience these things like us."

"Okay, that's it, Wei Feng, our mutual friend, we will always be waiting for your return on earth."

At the end of the letter was a long list. Wei Feng counted and found exactly forty-seven, one not too many and one not too little.

Wei Feng put down his computer and stood up in the control cabin. He stared at the dark starry sky outside the window and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, Wei Feng finally spoke: "Ye Luo, I want to stay outside the spaceship for a while, is that okay?"

"Of course." Ye Luo replied, "Please wait a moment and give me fifteen minutes. I will prepare for you all the equipment you need to walk out of the cabin."

"Okay, thank you." Wei Feng replied. (To be continued ~^~)

PS: By the way, from now on, the name of this volume is officially changed from "Interstellar Voyage" to "Time Traveler". Rainbow feels that Time Traveler fits the theme of this volume better than the original name.
