421 dark night

Zhou Cheng was stunned and asked:

"You mean going to the moon?"

Xiao Li nodded vigorously:

"um, yes."

Zhou Cheng frowned in confusion:

"Now that the moon is still accelerating, it would be very dangerous to go to the lunar surface. Moreover, now that it has set sail, all supplies will be deployed uniformly. It is not appropriate for us to use precious fuel to drive a shuttle to wander outside. We'd better not add more

It’s troublesome, especially at this time.”

Xiao Li said with confidence:

"The earth dust and lunar dust blown up by the solar wind previously caused damage to the radiation sail, or dust accumulation. Now the sail is being cleaned. All sail surfaces are operating in low power mode, and the acceleration of the moon is the lowest.

Time, there will be no danger when we go to the moon.

Waiting for the cleaning to be completed and all the light sails to enter full power operation, then we really have no chance. Besides, I didn't say to use the shuttle, so there is no need to report to Marshal Lu. What do you think, do you want to go out?

Wandering around?”

Although Zhou Cheng was still a little hesitant, he agreed after thinking that he could see the orbiting starry sky and the magnificent array of radiation sails on the moon with his own eyes.

Xiao Li led Zhou Cheng through the narrow passage. Although Zhou Cheng didn't know where their destination was, and he didn't know what the method of "reaching the moon without using a shuttle" was that Xiao Li mentioned.

He could clearly feel that the acceleration overload was indeed much smaller than the previous days, and they had been moving towards the top of the entire structure.

After passing through countless passages, the two came to a small airlock. When Zhou Cheng was changing his extravehicular space suit, he saw a variety of maintenance equipment. When he was about to ask a question, Xiao Li said:

"This is a reserved airlock for external maintenance. There are many such airlocks around the command center, which can lead directly to the outside of the cabin."

After changing the equipment, Xiao Li led Zhou Cheng through a vertical pipe. After pushing open the gate, a warm orange light like the sunset shone down, and the two of them arrived on the moon.

Zhou Cheng, who had just stood on the moon, was shaken by the acceleration and was about to fall. At this time, the propulsion system of the backpack automatically balanced his posture, and grapples were extended from his shoes to secure him.

Zhou Cheng and Xiao Li stood on the flat ground at an angle. Only then did Zhou Cheng realize that the place he was standing on was not a natural moon surface, but a square flat ground. The ground looked like a metal

And it is not a very similar material. In front of the platform is a cliff, and the lunar terrain below it is somewhat familiar.

"Are we... on top of the bridge?" Zhou Cheng asked in surprise.

"Yes, we are standing on the roof of the bridge now, but there are several levels of various cabins below that are the bridge command center." Xiao Li replied.

Zhou Cheng looked around. The orange light reflected by the light sail was coated with a layer of gold. Except for the huge rectangular bridge roof under his feet, there was no protruding object. Everything was smooth and round, both in front of him and in front of him.

Both the left and right sides of the moon are.

"No, I remember that the lunar cab was built on the steep cliff of a huge mountain. This cliff..."

Zhou Cheng realized halfway through his words that the mountain cliffs that were once like huge walls had completely collapsed in the solar storms and moonquakes, and all that was left was the lunar cab connected to the structure below the lunar surface.

He looked back, and the orange light reflected by the radiant sail gradually faded, and the smooth moon surface gradually disappeared into the shadows, just like the scene on the earth where the light and dark lines of the sky and the earth intersect before the sunset falls into the mountains. Far away on the surface, he

You can vaguely see the stripes formed by the melted lunar rock and the push of the solar storm.

Looking up, in the deep night sky, the stars are surrounded by a candle-like halo. It no longer looks as ferocious as a tyrant, but has a bit of twilight desolation. It is the sun.

"I asked the navigation officer. We have already flown past the orbit of Jupiter during the moon. If all goes well, we will spend this year's Mid-Autumn Festival in the Kuiper Belt. Although we can't admire the moon, our route position

Being able to see Pluto up close, humans will eat mooncakes near Pluto for the first time." Xiao Li said with great anticipation.

Zhou Cheng looked up at the stars with a reserved expression, even breathing carefully, for fear that he would move too much and disturb the stars.

"Our civilization has spent millions of years in a smooth evolutionary history. I hope we can ride the last tailwind of the solar system to get out of our current predicament. We cherish and need the starry sky more than ever before, but

Hope it’s not too late.”

Xiao Li looked at Zhou Cheng, always optimistic, but there was also some worry on his straightforward face:

"Professor Zhou, where do we need to be to be considered safe? The Kuiper belt? The heliopause? The inner Oort cloud? Or beyond?"

Zhou Cheng shook his head and his expression became calm:

"I don't know, child. No one can know, not even Rain nor Humanoid. Maybe the curtain of time and space has fallen and the starry sky has disappeared. It's just the principle of the constant speed of light that allows us to still see the afterimage of the galaxy. Light.

The fate within the cone may have been determined outside the light cone, and we cannot change it."

Xiao Li's face turned a little pale, and his lips moved a few times, but he didn't say anything. Zhou Cheng saw the fear and anxiety coming from his heart from his bright eyes, and he patted Xiao Li's thick outside.

Space suit:

"Don't worry, kid. In the era I lived in, before other civilizations invaded us, the universe was still full of gamma bursts, asteroids, super star storms, etc. that could kill us at any time.

But we still live happily every day, work hard to create the life we ​​want, and try our best to shape the world into what we expect. Because if that moment really comes, everyone must face it together. So, we just need to

Just try our best to do everything we can, there is nothing we can do about the fate outside the light cone."

At this time, several spaceships passed by at low altitude above their heads. Zhou Cheng and Xiao Li followed the traces and saw a halo of light hanging on the horizon like layers of folded gold foil. This was the lunar interstellar voyage.

The source of their power is an array of radiant light sails distributed in a space of 50,000 to 250,000 kilometers in front of them.

Countless bright spots like fireflies surrounded the light spot, and Xiao Li became interested again:

"After the solar storm and this period of flight, the system detected that 30% of the light sails were damaged beyond repair. The dust accumulation on the wind surface of the light sails is also serious, and the robot spacecraft is repairing the sail surfaces and

Clean up the dust.

Soon we will be able to move forward at full speed again. I believe there must be a glimmer of hope for us outside the light cone. We will soon see it. How can such a beautiful starry sky lack such a great civilization like ours?"

Zhou Cheng was also infected by Xiao Li's emotions:

"You are right, we dare to bravely set foot on the sea of ​​stars by driving the satellite of our home star under the current level of technology. This hard work and bravery are great, we deserve such a starry sky, we deserve this

universe."

The two of them just stood on the roof of the bridge, looking at the stars and the busy robots shuttled in the light sail, until the halo of the light sail gradually became brighter. They could also see from the frequent noise of the jet pack and the increasingly painful soreness in their calves,

And feel the gradually getting stronger acceleration in the small vibrations.

"Professor Zhou, the cleanup work of the light sail should be coming to an end. We are accelerating. It may be really dangerous to stay up here." Xiao Li said.

"Let's go back." Zhou Cheng replied.

Xiao Li opened the airlock door, and Zhou Cheng was halfway in. He couldn't help but glance at the starry sky. The sight in front of him made him close his eyes tightly, and then opened them. He repeated this several times,

Beads of sweat suddenly covered his face, and his complexion turned ashen.

"Professor Zhou! What's wrong with you!" Xiao Li exclaimed as he looked at Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng didn't speak. His face under the helmet kept shaking. The sweat on his face and forehead flew to the mask due to the shaking, but he couldn't say a word from his slightly open mouth.

"Professor Zhou! Professor Zhou! What's wrong with you!"

Xiao Li shouted several times in succession, but Zhou Cheng did not respond. His face under the mask was ashen, and his empty eyes were full of extreme fear, as if the most terrifying monster in the universe was standing behind him.

Xiao Li glanced back subconsciously, but was immediately stuck and unable to look back.

The starry sky has disappeared!
