The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Twenty minutes later, with the system counting down, Pang Xuelin slowly closed his eyes.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven...three, two, one, welcome the host to the Chinese Sun World."

Pang Xuelin opened his eyes, the sky was still dark, and there was a faint light coming from the wooden window lattice, and a faint chill

It penetrated through the cracks of the broken window paper and crooked cracked wooden edges.

On the other side of the bed, there was a thunderous snoring sound, and a strong smell of feet could be smelled.

Pang Xuelin closed his eyes again, and the identity setting given by the system appeared in his mind.

Plane: Chinese Sun World

Identity: Pang Xuelin, sixteen years old, his parents died when he was in the third grade of elementary school, he was fostered at his cousin Shuiwa's house, and he usually worked as a farmer at home.

Mission: Explore as many stellar worlds as possible using the Chinese Solar Project.

mission rewards:

First, every time a stellar world exploration is completed, the host can be rewarded with a chance to return to the past plane world.

Second, randomly select a technology from the plane world as a reward.

The expression on Pang Xuelin's face gradually became serious. The task of China Sun World was much more difficult than he imagined.

In the original book, the "Chinese Sun" is a huge reflector located in space, through which the sunlight is focused to a certain point in the atmosphere, thereby changing the climate of a certain region.

It is by using the Chinese sun that scientists have changed the arid environment of the entire Northwest, making it Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall.

When she was about to retire, as a representative of the first generation of space industry workers, Shuiwa proposed that China's sun be transformed into an interstellar spacecraft.

Using the light pressure of the sun, it is accelerated to make it an interstellar spaceship.

According to the plan, the "Chinese Sun will" enter the orbit of Venus first, and get as close to the sun as possible to obtain a greater acceleration light pressure and a longer acceleration distance.

This will be achieved through a complex series of orbital maneuvers, much like a sailboat sailing against the wind in the Age of Discovery.

After the "Chinese Sun" accelerates to a certain speed,

Seventy days later, it will pass the orbit of Mars; one hundred and sixty days later, it will pass Jupiter; two years later. It will fly out of the orbit of Pluto and become an interstellar spaceship, and everyone on the spaceship will enter the winter eye; forty-five years later, it will fly past the constellation Centaurus, and the astronauts will briefly wake up, a century after the departure of the Chinese sun, The earth can receive the detection information about Centaur they sent back.

However, the Centaur is just a station on the long journey of the Chinese Sun. After passing by the Centaur, the Chinese Sun will be accelerated further by the Centaur, and its speed will reach 15% of the speed of light.

And it will arrive at Sirius sixty years later, that is, a century after the departure from the earth.

When the Chinese sun passes by the binary star system composed of Sirius A and B, its speed will increase to two tenths of the speed of light, and it will fly deeper into the starry sky.

According to the maintenance limit of the life winter eye system on the spacecraft described in , the Chinese sun may reach the Eridanus-ε star, and may even finally reach the 79 Cetus star. These stars are considered to have planets.

But this is only a theoretical plan, and no one can say for sure whether it will succeed or not.

In the long journey. There are too many uncertainties in this kind of solar sail spacecraft that uses sunlight for interstellar flight.

This is like the human beings before the Age of Discovery.

People only remember that Columbus discovered the New World of America and opened the era of great navigation.

But how many people know how many navigators and explorers who went to the depths of the ocean were buried in the vast ocean before Columbus discovered the new continent.

This is a journey destined to never return.

The reason why Shuiwa chose to embark on this journey of no return. It is more to stimulate the curiosity of the human world about the starry sky.

Rather than really expecting to be able to successfully complete the planned tasks one day.

But for Pang Xuelin, whether it is for the task or to satisfy his own curiosity, he must complete such a journey.

But the problem is that now he is just a half-grown kid on the Loess Plateau in the Northwest who only has the education level of the third grade of elementary school. For a short time, he couldn't do anything.

Pang Xuelin decided not to think too much. Anyway, he is only sixteen years old now, and the future is still very long. He has plenty of time to change everything.

Amid the thunderous snoring, Pang Xuelin fell asleep again in a daze, and when he woke up again, it was already broad daylight.

In the cave dwelling, Shui Wa's father is also his third uncle, smoking a dry cigarette.

Third Uncle is less than fifty years old this year. Because of years of hard work, his skin is tanned, and deep wrinkles have been carved on his face.

With a hunchbacked waist, he looked like a little old man in his sixties or seventies.

Pang Xuelin shrugged his nose, the smell of rice porridge came from outside, and his aunt was busy making breakfast.

In the memory given to him by the system, after his parents passed away, he was fostered at his third uncle's house.

On weekdays, the third uncle's family treats them well, at least food, clothing, housing and transportation are no different from Shuiwa, and Shuiwa has some of them himself.

Of course, work and so on are also indispensable.

Pang Xuelin got up from the bed and wrapped himself in a black cotton jacket.

At this time, the third uncle said: "Lin Wazi, be quick with your hands and feet. Today we have to go to the field to harvest all the two acres of wheat."

"Good."

Pang Xuelin nodded, now is the busy time of farming, and he is also one of the strong laborers in the family, so naturally he will not shirk it.

Pang Xuelin first went to the hut to solve his physical problems.

Then, he found a piece of cloth, dipped it in the leftover rice water from washing rice, and dabbed it on his face twice casually.

In this arid and rainless Northwest, drinking water has always been a big problem, let alone washing your face.

Therefore, almost every household has a water cellar to store rainwater.

Anyone in the village who has a little spare money will dig a cement cellar at home.

But the third uncle's family is obviously not in this category, and can only use the mud cellar handed down from the grandfather's generation.

When the weather is hot, the water in this kind of cellar tends to stink, and it has a bitter and astringent taste when drinking.

It can only be boiled and barely used as drinking water.

Fortunately, the weather has entered autumn now, the weather is not as hot as summer, and the water in the water cellar is still acceptable.

Uncle San has been counting on this year's bumper wheat harvest. After the autumn grain is stored in the warehouse, he can exchange the grain for some money, and then build a cement cellar at home.

It is said that a half-baby will overwhelm me.

Although the breakfast was only millet porridge with pickled vegetables, Pang Xuelin and Shuiwa both ate deliciously and sweetly. Halfway through the meal, Pang Xuelin suddenly raised his head and said to the third uncle who was sitting beside him: "Third uncle, when the farm work is over. I want to go out for a while. I heard that it is quite easy to make money in the south now."

The third uncle was slightly taken aback and said, "No, Lin Wazi, how old are you? Be careful when you go out and let someone deceive you. Besides, there is no travel expenses at home, so you can go out and wander around."

Pang Xuelin said helplessly, "Third Uncle, I can earn the travel expenses myself."

The third uncle put down his chopsticks and said with a straight face, "Lin Wazi, if I say no, then I won't."

Pang Xuelin was a little helpless, Shui Wa who was sitting opposite him smiled honestly at him

Shuiwa is two years older than Pang Xuelin and is only eighteen this year.

But he has a good temper, basically he listens to what his father says.

After breakfast, the three of them put on their bamboo hats and went out with a sickle.

Outside the house is a desolate and barren world, and the sky is covered with a piece of yellow-brown land.

It was already autumn, and there was not much greenery in the entire Loess Plateau. The vertical and horizontal gullies were covered with traces of water and soil erosion, just like the wrinkles on the face of an old farmer.

Pang Xuelin followed Shuiwa and his third uncle to the wheat fields.

For the next time, the three of them worked in silence. At noon, the third aunt sent oil-splashed noodles to the field, which was a rare delicacy at this time.

It is also available during the busy farming season, when heavy physical labor is required.

After a busy day, the three of them finally harvested all the wheat on the two mu of land before returning home.

Although I have experienced high-intensity labor and sweated a lot, it is impossible to take a bath, so I can only wipe my body with a damp cloth.

After dinner, Pang Xuelin had nothing to do, so he simply came to the hill behind the cave of the third uncle's house, staring at the sunset in a daze.

At some point, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Pang Xuelin turned his head and saw Shui Wa walking over at some point

"Lin Wazi, do you really want to go out?" Shui Wa asked curiously.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Brother Shuiwa, don't you want to go out and have a look?"

Shuiwa shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just think that life like this is pretty good. I can eat enough and wear warm clothes. After a while, I'll be busy. I'll sell the wheat and build a cement cellar for my family. I can eat a lot." Bitter water, that day will be comfortable."

Pang Xuelin said: "Brother Shuiwa, I don't want to live this kind of life with my face facing the loess and my back facing the sky. Don't you think it's boring that you can see old age from the beginning?"

Shui Wa said: "But our ancestors have come here like this for generations, what's wrong?"

Pang Xuelin stood up and said, "It's because our ancestors haven't changed from generation to generation, so we have to go out and change our lives. Brother Shuiwa, have you heard of the outside world?

Shuiwa revealed a hint of longing on her face, nodded and said: "I heard that they can drink clean water, and there are many, many lights. At night, the road is brightly lit."

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "You don't want to go out and have a look?"

Shui Wa shook her head and said, "Father won't let me go."

Pang Xuelin fell silent, and after a while, he said: "Brother Shuiwa, I must go out and have a look. When I make a name for myself outside, I will take you and my third uncle and third aunt..."

"But my father won't let you go?"

Pang Xuelin winked at Shuiwa and said, "Brother Shuiwa, if I want to go out, Third Uncle can't stop me, but I will still have a good talk with Third Uncle."

Shui Wa hesitated for a moment, and said, "Be sure to talk about it."

After working hard for a whole week, I finally finished harvesting this season's wheat.

After leaving the rations, Pang Xuelin, his third uncle, and Shui Wa sent the remaining wheat to the grain station, and sold it for a total of more than 100 yuan.

Then, the third uncle went to the town full of joy, asked the price of cement, and then came back limp like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"Father, why do you think the price of cement has increased compared to last year?"

The third aunt was a little distressed: "Then when can I drink the water in the cement cellar?"

The third uncle took a dull puff of his dry cigarette and said, "If we work harder this year, we will definitely be able to afford cement next year."

"Uncle, you said the same thing last year." At this moment, Pang Xuelin stood up and said, "Uncle, this is not okay. Didn't the doctors in the army say that? The water in the cellar is not clean. Drinking it like this will cause problems sooner or later. We have to go out to make money. Look at Guoqiang in our village, they have made a lot of money in the mine. Also, brother Shuiwa will marry a wife in two years, and he needs money to build a new house... "

The third uncle was smoking a dry cigarette, but this time, he did not immediately reject Pang Xuelin's proposal.

The third aunt on the side hesitated for a moment, and said, "His father, I think what Lin Wazi said makes sense."

Pang Xuelin said: "Third Uncle, just let me go out. If you really don't let me go, then I will go quietly by myself, you can't keep stopping me..."

"How dare you!" The third uncle glared at Pang Xuelin and said, "Wait Lin, I promised your parents to take good care of you when you grow up. Even if you want to go out to find work now, you can only go to the mine. In the mine Dangerous, how many people will not be buried in what year?"

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I won't go to the mine."

"If you don't go to the mine, where do you go? If you're far away, you don't even have travel expenses at home."

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Just go to the county seat and find a job. I have plenty of strength."

The third uncle pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not impossible to go to the county seat, but you have to let Shuiwa follow."

"Can I go too?"

Shui Wa stood up all of a sudden, and said pleasantly.

The third uncle took a puff of dry cigarette again and said, "Lin Wazi, you are so smart. When you go outside, take your brother Shuiwa with you. As for you, Shuiwa, when others bully your younger brother, you must be the first brother." One rushes up."

"Father, don't worry, Lin Wazi is my real brother. If anyone dares to bully Lin Wazi, I will fight him hard."

Shui Wa laughed.

Pang Xuelin felt his nose a little sore, and said, "Third Uncle, when Brother Shuiwa and I earn money, we will bring you and Third Aunt to live in the city."

The third uncle's wrinkled old face relaxed slightly, and said, "It would be nice if you could have this kind of heart."

Pang Xuelin smiled, looked at the excited Shuiwa, and stopped talking.

As for bringing Shuiwa with her, will it change Shuiwa's life trajectory?

Pang Xuelin didn't care.

According to inference, when Shuiwa came out of the village, it should have been in 1998 or 1999.

It's only 1992, so it's still early.

Not to mention, he has enough self-confidence to lead Shuiwa to a better life.

Three days later, Pang Xuelin and Shui Wa took the new cloth shoes specially given to them by the third aunt, 20 yuan and a few buns, and embarked on the road to the county.

The third uncle squatted on the road at the entrance of the village, smoking a cigarette in a deep voice, until the backs of the two completely disappeared from sight, the third uncle did not stand up.

...

"This is the county seat."

Shui Wa watched the reinforced concrete buildings and cement appear, her face showing shock.

In Pang Xuelin's eyes, the most prosperous part of this small county in Northwest China is just a small commercial street formed by a crossroad.

Most of the buildings were built in the 1970s and 1980s, with a maximum of six floors.

This small county town that belongs to the seventh and eighth lines in China at this time, in the eyes of Shuiwa, seems to have become a prosperous place that has never been seen before.

"Lin Wazi, we... where are we going now?"

Shui Wa looked at Pang Xuelin in a daze.

He was still a little at a loss for the unfamiliar environment in front of him.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Wait for me..."

As he spoke, he came to the canteen by the side of the road and said, "Boss, bring me a pack of peonies and a box of matches."

"Okay, it's two yuan and five."

Pang Xuelin took out a five-yuan banknote and handed it to the boss. After taking the cigarette, he opened it directly, lit one for himself, then handed another to the boss, and said, "Boss, where is the wholesale market in our county?" Huh? My brother and I have just entered the city and want to find some work..."

"Brother, you are being polite."

The boss didn't refuse. He took the cigarette and put it in his ear and said, "If you really want to find a job, the wholesale market is not interesting. It's all sporadic and trivial jobs. You can go to the coal yard at the railway station to find a job." , They are recruiting people every day, and eight yuan a day includes room and board. The workload is relatively heavy, and they have to work 12 hours a day, which is all heavy physical work, and ordinary people can't bear this hardship."

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Thank you boss, my brother and I are not afraid of hardship."

Then, Pang Xuelin asked the boss about the general situation of the coal yard at the railway station. He knew that it was just an ordinary freight station, and there was no dedicated coal line at all. Large-scale freight yards only have dumpers, and workers unload coal manually. Only a few sections of a freight train are coal-loaded wagons with gondola cars. When they arrive at the station, they are disassembled and parked in the special coal lane, and the coal is manually unloaded by workers.

Afterwards, Pang Xuelin and Shui Wa bid farewell to the boss and walked in the direction pointed by the boss.

"Lin Wazi, why are you still smoking? My good boy. This pack of cigarettes and a box of matches cost two and a half dollars, and we brought a total of twenty dollars into the city. This way of spending, how can I last for a few days?" ah?"

Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "Brother Shuiwa, if I didn't do this, do you think the owner of the commissary would tell us in such detail that there is coal loading and unloading in the coal yard at the railway station?"

"oh."

Shui Wa nodded, and asked again: "Lin Wazi, the train station the boss mentioned, can you really give us eight yuan a day?"

Pang Xuelin nodded and said: "Brother Shuiwa, don't worry about this, there is absolutely. However, this work should be quite tiring, and most people can't bear it."

Shui Wa shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid of hard work, but I'm afraid I won't be able to find work."

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "That's good."

Then, Pang Xuelin and Shuiwa walked for 20 minutes in the direction pointed by the owner of the canteen, and asked several people on the way, and finally found the location of the coal yard at Linxiong County Railway Station.
