On the Ranger, Cooper was checking data on the spacecraft's computer.
Romilly had just come in from the outside, and before he had time to take off the helmet of his spacesuit, he said to Cooper: "I have a suggestion for your return trip, and that is to try the problem of breaking the black hole one last time."
"But I'm going home," Cooper said.
"I know this won't take long." Romilly took off his helmet: "This is also an opportunity for the people on earth."
Realizing that just going back like this would mean waiting for death, Cooper thought for a moment and said, "Just tell me."
"Gargantua is a very old rotating black hole, and its gravitational tide is very fast. If the speed is fast enough, such as a lightweight detector or something, there may be a glimmer of hope through the gravitational slingshot effect," Romilly told Library.
Po talked about his research results of more than 20 years.
"Can you travel through time?" Cooper asked, "What will happen if you enter time?"
"I don't know, I don't have any idea at all. Maybe it was stretched into light-year noodles, maybe it was split into atoms, I don't know." Romilly said, "So instead of asking what you will see, it's better to think about it.
, if the detector successfully collects data, how to transmit it back to the outside of the horizon? It needs to be equipped with a device that can transmit any form of pulse energy, trying to guess whether this information can be slingshoted out through gravity. Yes, I said
The silver lining is not the detectors, it’s the data.”
"Is this detector me?" There was a hint of confusion in Tas's voice.
Romilly rolled his eyes, and the robot's humor module began to work: "Tas is the best 'candidate' for the detector. I have told it how to do it for more than twenty years."
The function of the humor module was cancelled, and Tas said to Cooper: "Cooper, I need the old optical transmitter on Kip's body."
"Are you willing to do this for humanity?" Cooper knew that the robot in front of him had already given birth to a very rudimentary personality.
"Before you burst into tears, don't forget that I, a robot, must obey instructions." Tas's voice was very relaxed: "I'm not kidding, don't stare at my humor indicator light."
[Tony Stark was first amused by Tarth, and then he was somewhat moved by his willingness to enter the black hole.
"Hey, Jarvis, are you feeling lonely?" Tony Stark asked Jarvis, who was everywhere in the house.
"With your company, I will not be lonely." Jarvis replied.
Tony Stark said with some pride: "It's really disgusting. Where did you learn this?"
"From what you said when you brought back the cover model." Jarvis said in front of Pepper.
He touched his nose in embarrassment and glanced carefully at Chili Pepper who seemed indifferent on the surface: "Ahem, don't learn these things in the future. Look at Tas, his humor is just right. Although he can't communicate with that world.
, but I will indeed create another artificial intelligence. I wanted to name it Ultron before, but now I plan to change it to Tasi."
"I really look forward to what contribution our Tasi can make to the advancement of human civilization after it is born!" Tony Stark's eyes are full of expectations. Artificial intelligence specially designed to defend peace, I really look forward to it!]
In the video, Romilly and Cooper came outside, and Mann had been waiting for a long time.
"I need to get some parts from Kip." Romilly said straight to the point.
Mann rolled his eyes: "Okay, but don't damage the information management system. There is still some important data stored in it."
"I'll watch it," Romilly promised.
Only then did Mann realize that the robot that was dismantling parts was a robot that looked a bit like a thief.
"Dr. Mann, we have to find three suitable strongholds, one as Brand's laboratory, and the other two as residences. After all, it will be inconvenient to move the rest of the Eternal after it lands." Ku.
Po then walked up and said.
Mann nodded and said that a snowstorm might come at any time, and led Cooper towards the target location alone.
The landscape of the ice and snow planet is indeed as Mann said, with two layers. The layer they are on is like a man-made building, suspended in mid-air. What was thought to be the ground is actually a dome. The real ground is what supports these
The lower level where the huge dome is located.
By chance, Keyes, who was staying on the Ever Given, had already piloted a cargo spacecraft and flew past Cooper.
"Fly slowly, the clouds here are solid." Cooper said to Case through the communicator.
Cooper was walking in a heavy spacesuit: "To be honest, Dr. Mann, it is a great honor for me to be able to participate in such an operation. But after the camp here is built and the spacecraft is confirmed to be safe, I will call it a day and go back."
Already."
Mann expressed respect for Cooper's decision, and at this point they had reached a steep spot.
"Be careful." Throwing out the operating lever folded on his arm, Mann jumped down the steep slope first. Pressing the button on the folding operating lever at the appropriate position, the backpack sprayed airflow, reducing the speed of his descent to a safe range.
.
Cooper followed suit and fell behind Mann.
"Do you know why our robot technology is so advanced, but we still need people to carry out such a plan?" Mann had already walked far away and said to Cooper behind him: "Because the machine cannot adapt to changes, we cannot write fear
Entering their program, a group of fearless machines will not be able to rely on their survival instinct to transcend their limits and survive in desperate situations."
Mann stopped and looked at Cooper with a faint smile: "Take you as an example. As a father, you extend your desire for survival to your children. You know the last thing a person sees before he dies.
What is this picture? It's a child, a child's face. At the moment of death, your consciousness will violently stimulate you to struggle for survival."
Mann took the lead and continued walking until he came to another steep slope.
"When I left the Earth, I felt that I was ready to die." Mann gasped. The constant temperature system of the spacesuit is very powerful. Now he is a little warm, and there is no problem with exercising or anything else: "
But in fact, before setting off, I never thought about what would happen if my destination did not have the conditions for survival.”
Cooper was a little confused, looking confusedly at the ice fields in front of him and the deep and dark cliffs.
Mann turned sideways, took off the magnetic communication device from the back of Cooper's helmet without hesitation, and threw it towards the steep slope in front of Cooper.
Cooper stared blankly at the communicator that was thrown out, and for a moment he didn't even realize that it was his.
But Mann didn't give him a chance at all, and pushed Cooper down the steep slope before he could react.
As expected of an astronaut, Cooper reacted immediately and grabbed the bulge on the steep slope. At this time, the speed of the fall was not too great, and he had enough strength to hold on.
Looking at the terrifying and dark cliff below him, Cooper cursed in his heart. No wonder Mann didn't know what he was talking about along the way. It turned out that he was giving him psychological preparation to kill himself!
"What are you doing!?" Cooper asked.
Mann's spacesuit has foot pegs that make it easier to move on steep slopes and icy areas: "Sorry! I can't let you drive away that spacecraft! I need it to complete this mission and go to a new planet to build a new planet.
Earth, and once someone discovers that there is no life here, we won’t be able to survive, let alone build a new Earth!”
"I'm sorry! Cooper, I have to do this. The earth is hopeless. I have to build a new earth so that I can survive. I have to build a place that can be home. I want to go home!
"The spikes on the toes kept kicking the bulge where Cooper grabbed hold, but because he climbed down backwards to ensure his own safety, he could not see exactly where to kick, which also made Cooper
He was kicked off the cliff immediately.
Cooper struggled to bear more than 200 kilograms with one hand, including the weight of the spacesuit. Mann regarded him as a target. The hand he was about to kick released the bulge and used his arm to slow down.
The auxiliary jet was aimed at Mann's feet, and when the switch was pressed, a powerful airflow sprayed on Mann's feet. Mann, who lost his balance, immediately slipped down, but he caught Cooper, and the two of them headed towards each other.
Slide down the gentle slope.
Neither of them wanted to die, but the bottomless cliff was not far away, so they cooperated briefly for a while, adjusted their gliding trajectory, and finally slipped dangerously to the edge of the ice sheet.
"Did you make up all the data?" Cooper gasped, looking at Mann lying not far away.
"Yes..." Mann was lying on the ground, judging the distance from Cooper from the slight vibrations on the ground: "There is no second layer suitable for survival here. There is no... As soon as I got here, I knew that this place was not suitable at all.
I have been struggling for many years to achieve my goal, but the button that allows people to save me is right there and can be easily pressed! Do you know what a great temptation this is?"
The shaking on the ground was short-lived, which meant that after Cooper stood up, he stood still. Mann's plan for a sneak attack failed and he struggled to stand up.
"You coward!" Cooper cursed.
"Yes..." Mann walked towards Cooper: "Yes... yes..."
Mann repeatedly admitted that he was a coward and rushed towards Cooper.
The two struggled in the ice field. With his rich experience and stronger physical fitness, Cooper suppressed Mann: "Stop!"
But Mann only hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and hit Cooper's mask with his helmet.
Aerospace materials cannot be broken so easily. Cooper said seriously: "Dr. Mann, there is a half chance that you will commit suicide if you do this!"
Mann looked at Cooper: "50% is already a higher probability than 0%!"
After saying that, Mann bumped into Cooper's mask once. He was right in his bet. Cooper's mask broke a crack, the internal and external balance of the space suit was broken, and the influx of high ammonia gas caused Cooper to temporarily lose his ability to move.
.
Mann seized the opportunity and snatched back the jetpack joystick that was temporarily lent to Cooper: "Don't blame me, Cooper, you have never experienced a life and death test like mine. None of you have..."
[Interstellar World Travel, after learning from the inventory video about the horror of the giant waves in the mountains of the water planet, the brave Miller has not yet landed on the surface of the planet due to time anomalies.
Fortunately, she saved her life and returned to the synchronous orbit, using the ultra-slow time to wait for the coming rescue, which for her might be coming in a few minutes.
Watching Mann on the screen keep saying that the test of life and death was difficult to pass, Miller immediately cursed.
There were twelve people in the group, except for three of them, how could the other nine brave men survive the test!】
"You feel it, right?" Mann looked at Cooper who was struggling on the ground: "The ammonia in the atmosphere is very uncomfortable. Do you feel the instinct to survive? It is this instinct that drives me...
Will save me in the end...I really want to save everyone, I want the human fire to shine in the universe..."
"Sorry, I really can't bear to see you in such pain..." Mann turned his head and walked in the direction he came from.
"Cooper, I'm here with you..." Mann looked back at the struggling Cooper and said, completely forgetting that he had taken off Cooper's communicator and could not hear him at this distance.
sound.
"Have you seen your children?" The screen turned to the camera, and Mann's voice came from the communicator dropped on the ground: "It's okay, your children are with you."
Mann, who was walking towards the stronghold, recited Old Brand's favorite poem. It was a rare windless period on this planet. The sound of the communicator was not loud, but he could still hear it.
Cooper covered his mask with one hand, trying his best to prevent the atmosphere that humans could not breathe from entering the space suit, while crawling towards the source of the sound. Finally, Cooper installed the communicator on the helmet again. In the suffocating environment,
He squeezed out his strength and shouted: "Brand! Help!"
Cooper took off his gloves and exposed one hand to the extremely cold environment so that he could hold the small communicator.
In the camp, little Brand, who was carrying equipment, heard the call in the earphones. He didn't have time to think about what Cooper had encountered, and immediately ran towards the spacecraft not far away.
Case is also highly intelligent. Before little Brand boarded the spacecraft, he had already started the engine and was ready to take off at any time.
"Cooper, wait! Hold on!" Little Brand sat on the seat without even trying to fasten the seat belt. He grabbed the armrest of the chair and took off under the control of Case.
Mann and Cooper did not go too far, and Little Brand quickly arrived at the target location in the spacecraft piloted by Case.
Before the spacecraft stopped, Little Brand jumped out of the hatch and ran towards Cooper, who was not far away: "Cooper! Cooper! I'm coming!"
Open Cooper's mask and put the portable breathing device into Cooper's mouth. Now he can no longer care about the cold. If he doesn't breathe, he will suffocate to death!
After regaining his composure, Cooper, with the help of Little Brand, finally returned to the spacecraft. His breathing became smoother and the temperature became more comfortable.
