Chapter 71 Sighing on the road ahead (Part 2)

SpongeBob SquarePants World, Patrick's Laboratory.

Xiao Yiren was sitting on his recliner, holding his chin with one hand, his eyes wandering, and a confused tear slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth, feeling a little lost for no reason.

"What on earth am I going to do in the future?"

After thinking about it, Xiao Yiren couldn't help but stand up from where he was. After being in a daze for a while, he came back to his senses.

However, he still failed to think of his future goals.

In desperation, Xiao Yiren had no choice but to look up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, while his right hand was groping on his desk, hoping to eat a Krabby Patty to relieve his inner depression.

"Why does the table feel a little rough today?"

Touching and touching, Xiao Yiren felt that there was not much, but for a certain reason, he did not lower his head. Instead, he continued to look up at the ceiling in depression, until he touched something about the size of a Krabby Patty.

This thing was obviously much heavier and harder than the Krabby Patty, but Xiao Yiren didn't react as if he was under some illusion. He just stuffed it into his mouth and bit it down hard.

As for the result, you can get some clues by looking at Xiao Yiren's broken teeth.

Xiao Yiren: "..."

"I'd better try my best to figure out how this world affects my will, otherwise I feel like I'll have to suffer a lot in the future..."

A scene flashed by. Xiao Yiren reached out and touched the teeth in his mouth that had been repaired as before. Looking at his laboratory that had somehow become like the Stone Age, he sighed...

Alien world, on the spaceship.

"The Starship spacecraft is about to enter a state of deceleration. Please let the navigator quickly enter the pressure-resistant sleep cabin to sleep. The estimated time of arrival at the destination is thirteen Merkel standard units..."

Xiao Yiren, who was sleeping in a dormant cabin, opened his eyes quietly, and then slowly closed them again.

Xiao Yiren didn't just go to sleep without thinking before. Before that, he had read all the information on the spacecraft that did not require permission.

These materials include various entertainment information, as well as a small number of spacecraft manuals and low-end science and technology. According to the display, these are all for the navigator to pass the time.

During the continuous navigation phase, the navigator cannot sleep. They need to stay awake at all times and pay attention to various accidents on the spacecraft.

Of course, there can't be many navigators, so they also need all kinds of things to kill time, and these materials are part of them.

Moreover, Xiao Yiren also found a navigator selection manual inside.

Navigators are usually taken by those who are relatively lonely and can tolerate loneliness relatively speaking.

As we all know, people who can endure loneliness generally have a variety of crafts and all kinds of weird interests.

Although this is not necessarily the case, it is nine out of ten. Therefore, the part contained in the database is also quite large, including almost all kinds of information about civilizations, all over the world.

In addition to the core technology, there is also information that specific coordinate operations require instructions and permissions to read, and the rest are simple operations.

So not only did he roughly learn the language and common sense of science and technology of his current civilization based on these things, but the standard unit of thirteen Merkels, in earth terms, is actually seven years, three months, and three days.

One Merkel standard unit is about two hundred and thirty days, the revolution time of this primitive planet of civilization...

"Is there still about seven years left? I don't know where the destination is. I'm really looking forward to the unknown life in the future..."

Trisolaran world, somewhere on the waterway.

Xiao Yiren, who had just woken up again and was making the last drive of the trip, was adjusting his course. He looked at the stars in the sky and the endless darkness, and thought of the fate of the three bodies. He couldn't help but feel emotional.

"The starry sky holds my eyes."

"I also hold up the stars."

"The darkness casts stars."

"You said it was light."

"I said it was death."

"Darkness is the tentacle of death."

"So is the light."

After expressing his inner literary and artistic spirit, Xiao Yiren felt clearly a little sad.

Xiao Yiren is a science student, not a young man of literature and art, and is not good at writing poetry. He thinks more of those people struggling in the same starry sky, the struggling civilization, and the struggling hope.

Although it doesn't rhyme much, it can't even be called poetry. It's just a poor imitation of the singer's nursery rhyme.

But these few sentences do cover the fate of too many people in the Three-Body Problem, or in other words, too many civilizations.

The lonely starry sky is both beautiful and terrifying.

The weak little beast sharpened its claws and evolved protective colors, hiding in the dark forest, trying its best to grow, but fearing that it would grow too fast.

The strong hunters wiped their weapons, and scanned the jungle with ferocious eyes. When they found any movement, they were clear of it. They were also afraid, afraid that the prey would suddenly grow fangs, and afraid of the enemy approaching step by step from a distance.

There was only a pair of eyes hanging high in the sky, quietly observing this farce that seemed both illusion and reality, waiting for the opportunity to ring the countdown bell.

In this dark forest, there are too many people who cannot help themselves, too many tragic songs of heroes, and too many great men bowing down.

I still remember how shocked and moved Xiao Yiren was when he read The Three-Body Problem for the second and third time.

That's the sadness of "I lit the fire, but I can't control it."

That is the realization of "Luo Ji, the wall-facer, I am your wall-breaker".

That is the decisive decision of "natural selection, forward four."

That is the vastness of "giving civilization to time, rather than giving time to civilization".

In the infinite loneliness and sighing, Xiao Yiren could not help but hum the song from the God of Death.

"I saw my love."

"I flew to her side."

"I held out the gift for her."

"It was a small piece of frozen time."

"There are beautiful streaks in time."

"It feels as soft as shallow sea mud."

"She spreads time all over her body."

"Then pull me up and fly to the edge of existence."

"This is lucid flight."

"The stars in our eyes are like ghosts."

"We are like ghosts in the eyes of the stars..."

After humming the song, Xiao Yiren himself couldn't help but burst out laughing. Sure enough, environment is one of the factors that most affects people, and even he had the temperament of a literary young man.

Shaking his head speechlessly, Xiao Yiren dismissed the strange emotion in his heart, looked at his own channel, and chuckled.

"Why should I consider these things? Let's go to the earth to develop first, out of a wave of industry, and now see if I can steal some higher-end technologies and update myself..."

Let's talk, the middle-class spirit in Xiao Yiren's heart couldn't help but surge up again, and he issued a special command with a slight smile on his lips.

"Dream Tianyi, advance four..."

Guess what, everyone, this little thing I made up actually metaphors what things in the Three-Body Problem are?
