Chapter 196: The Vast Starry Sky
Here, after Annie walked out of the space portal, she discovered that this place is actually in a void?
The place she was in, up and down, left and right, and front and back, there was nothing at all!
She is actually in a vacuum universe?
Looking at the past, apart from a few huge earth-yellow, brown, and green giant planets nearby, there are only countless stars shining with various lights and strange-shaped nebulae in the distance?
At this moment, little Annie is staying in a very powerful magic protective shield, which she put on for herself as soon as she found something wrong. In addition to being filled with magic elements to keep her under pressure, it also isolates the The harmful rays around her and the damage to her body caused by the vacuum.
Even if she herself is already a powerful demigod, if she directly exposes herself to the vacuum and harmful rays of the universe without any protection, she will feel very uncomfortable.
So, now, little Annie is staring at the square space gem in her hand that is spinning so fast.
This must be a bad thing!
She felt that this bastard space gem has really become more and more arrogant recently, and has become more and more angry with her!
The first few times were fine, she went to three Earths and one planet of Azeroth, and it didn't have much impact on her basic survival.
But now?
Look, now it has brought itself into this empty, vacuum space?
If he wasn't a powerful enough demigod mage, I'm afraid, if it were someone else, he would have been played to death by it like this?
Here, where is it?
Little Annie turned her head and looked at the up, down, left, and right spaces, okay... In fact, she found that there is no distinction between up, down, left, and right here at all?
Even if she is within the magic protective shield, she is still in a state of weightlessness, and she can't feel the effect of gravity when standing on the ground all over her body. This feeling, for a while, made her feel very novel.
So, she began to rotate herself slowly within the shield, and then stared wide-eyed, looking at the strange planets around them and their beautiful star rings.
(Hey, my little master, stop playing, hurry up and find a safe place? If you stay here like this,
Once the time is long, there will definitely be big problems! ——Finally, Tibbers couldn't bear to see little Annie playing on her own so heartlessly, and hurriedly reminded her. )
According to Tibbers, in this vacuum of space, not only is there no food or air, but there are also a large number of deadly rays. If its master Anne is not strong enough, if it is another person, it will still be alive. ?
In this vacuum cosmic environment, Tibbers, as a shadow creature, must be fearless. However, its little owner Annie, she can't do it!
Although in a short period of time, there is no big problem, but once the time is long, plus, this magic shield will continuously consume her own magic power, and after there is no oxygen for breathing , To maintain the energy supply of the body, she also needs to consume her own magic power, no matter how strong her magic power is, if it goes on like this for a long time, something big will happen!
"Huh? That's right! Just wait and see! Do you want me to confess? There's no way!"
Little Annie cursed a few words bitterly, and put the broken stone back into the space pocket.
Tibbers... where should we go now? Could it be... Do you want to go to a random planet?
After hugging her own little bear, Annie looked around and saw the huge planets one by one. Soon, she picked one of them. That planet looked quite beautiful, although the distance seemed a little far away. It's far away, but if she casts spells and teleports a few times, she may be able to reach it, right?
(None of those planets are suitable for life, and it’s useless to go there! Let’s go there first, to see the wreckage of the warship floating there! —— Seeing that little Annie plans to go to those planets, Tiber Si hurriedly stopped him.
In its view, none of those planets are living planets at all, so what's the use of looking beautiful? What is the difference between going to those places and staying in a vacuum? Why not just go to the wreckage of the battleship over there, maybe, can you find any clues, or know the nearby places to survive? )
Huh? Battleship? !
After being reminded by Tibbers, little Annie finally took her eyes back from those beautiful planets, and then, she also discovered that on the other side, in the dim cosmic space, there was a hideous gap, which was quietly The wreckage of a battleship floating quietly and slowly moving along a certain track.
"It's really an interstellar battleship... Tibbers, let's go there now, otherwise, it will drift away!"
Battleships are definitely more fun than planets!
So, Little Annie immediately grabbed her little bear Tibbers and started to cast the spell. After a while, when the spell was completed, a super-long-distance teleportation went to the floating place in front of her vision. The wreckage of the battleship flashed past.
Wow……
Soon, after several long-distance teleportations, little Anne finally arrived within the wreckage of this huge battleship.
Even she herself didn't think that the wreckage they saw before seemed quite close, but when she really came here, it took a lot of effort! It is more laborious than teleporting between continents on the planet!
Afterwards, Annie took her little bear and wandered around the dilapidated battleship. After a long time, they managed to take a rough look and learned about the basic structure of the battleship.
It's just that they didn't find any valuable discoveries, except for the one in front of them, which seems to be... an escape capsule that can still be used?
Could it be that this was left behind when the aliens escaped?
"Hey! Tibbers, tell me, this is called a rescue capsule, can it really be used?"
After arriving inside the dilapidated starship, little Anne wandered around for a long time, and finally found a small cylindrical spaceship in a corner that was not too damaged. , allowing her to easily recognize the alien text next to the button next to the door of the small spaceship.
————
The rescue cabin can be used for emergency escape.
The crew is limited to ten, and it is equipped with a standard Aiur pressure oxygen environment and an emergency hibernation chamber.
Protos, manufactured on XXXX space station in XXXX.
————
(My little ancestor, now you have no choice, open it, and then go in and nest! Anyway, it said: it is equipped with oxygen, and you have food yourself, so ah, go in and stay in the house for a few days Months! I just don’t know if the water-making technique works well in the universe? —— Tibbers directly persuaded little Annie without thinking about it.
At the beginning, when they were in New York, they watched all kinds of TV dramas, sci-fi dramas or movies. Now, they came here and bought a lifeboat that seemed to be in good condition, so let's be content! )
"Okay, then, I'll press it? There won't be any strange cosmic monsters in it, right?"
After finishing speaking, Little Annie pretended to be scared, and timidly pressed the button marked open.
(Tibbers rolled his eyes at Annie's performance, and didn't say much. She pretended to be scared like that, but her eyes were full of excitement. Who were she trying to deceive? Hey! Maybe, she wished there was something in it. Some monster or something?)
"Wow... What a beautiful spaceship... Unfortunately, there is nothing inside..."
There are no alien monsters in the alien spaceship? Bad review!
Little Annie curled her lips in dissatisfaction, exerted a little force on her feet, and floated in directly.
After sensing the vacuum environment outside the rescue cabin, the automatic hatch behind her quickly closed automatically.
Then, this miraculous rescue capsule also began to directly perfuse the cabin with oxygen that can be breathed by living organisms, and also adjusted the pressure in the cabin and created a weak gravity field, so that little Annie would not be on the ground with her head down. flutter.
Walking in, after wandering around in this warehouse, which is only five square meters in size, Little Anne found that, apart from five emergency hibernation chambers on each side, a console, and a metal chair, it seems that, Nothing at all?
"No **... no sofa... and no toilet... This spaceship is really ugly!"
Little Annie muttered dissatisfiedly, are all aliens cutting corners like this? Build more bathrooms or toilets and sofas, and they won't die!
(Sigh...it's just a rescue capsule. It's pretty good that you can find this small spaceship that can still be used here. Please don't expect too much——Tibbers sighed, this little ancestor of his family , after being two queens, it seems that they have been raised?)
"Huh? What does this button mean? Launch?"
Bored, little Annie walked to the console and saw that there seemed to be a whole row of various buttons on it? Then, she saw the largest and most conspicuous red button on it, and what was written on it seemed to mean... launch?
What is it going to launch? weapon? It looks so fun!
(Don't press... Well, when I didn't say anything, you can continue to play slowly! ——Tibbers sighed in his heart, but it was a pity that he still spoke slowly just now.
When it was just about to dissuade, Little Annie was already desperate, and she reached out and pressed the red button, and then, the rescue capsule rushed directly into the boundless universe outside...)
"Wow! That's cool, it's still moving?"
Anne was a little surprised, she couldn't wait to stand up from the driving seat, and then began to look at the console, is there any other interesting things, or weapons?
It's a pity that this spaceship is just a lifeboat for emergency escape. Just now, little Annie, who didn't understand anything, didn't even set the coordinates, so she directly pressed the launch button.
So, now, where the ship is going to fly, maybe even the spaceship itself doesn't know? Once its propulsion energy is exhausted, I am afraid, it can only wander in the universe?
"Oh... it seems... there's nothing fun about it."
Annie carefully looked at the various buttons on the console. Apart from some buttons for adjusting the indoor environment or requesting to connect to a certain spaceship, there is also a green distress button?
Well, that's it!
So, after little Annie pressed the green button that sent the distress signal, she began to lie on the metal chair, took out the food in her space pocket, and began to eat.
(Master Annie... you are like this, press the distress signal casually, is it really okay? What if... when the time comes, a group of alien monsters will come, so what should I do? ——Tibbers doesn't want to It’s time to accuse it of its unreliable master’s outrageous behavior, but... a necessary reminder, it still has to do.)
"Alien monsters? That's great! When the time comes, we'll snatch their big spaceships, and then we'll have fun!"
Little Annie's eyes lit up when she heard that there was an alien monster.
Then, she also raised her oily little fist holding the roast leg of lamb, and waved it vigorously.
Now, she is already imagining: when the time comes, how to deal with those aliens who intend to harm her? Is it to destroy them first, and then snatch their spaceship? Or grab the ships first, then enslave them?
This is something worth considering, Little Annie decided that when the time comes, let's see the other party's performance first!
(Well, when I don't say anything, you're happy! —— Tibbers decided that it will sleep for a while, and ignore this terrible hostess for the time being.)
...
In 2229 A.D., science and technology were extremely developed, and the earth colonization of the universe had begun. Due to the problems of religion, language, culture, and uneven distribution of benefits among countries, and the people on earth who had begun to embark on the path of space colonization, finally No longer afraid of the outbreak of a world war and the threat of nuclear weapons, so, naturally, on the earth, in the cradle of mankind, the third world war broke out!
At this time, the people on Earth thought, anyway, they have begun to colonize the universe on a large scale, anyway, they have enough fleets to transport all the people on Earth, so it doesn’t matter if the Earth is destroyed? Then hit it!
Finally, after the end of World War III on Earth, here on Earth, a new coalition government, UL, emerged. They controlled most of the population and began to implement New Deal reforms.
However, this new coalition government of the earth is a corrupt and terrifying government. In the era of great space navigation, they only need one voice, and they are committed to eliminating all religious beliefs and uniqueness among different civilizations!
Therefore, they destroyed all religions and different languages, and after the hibernation technology, warp drive, artificial gravity and levitation technology matured, they unanimously passed a very humane resolution: to kill those dissidents who do not obey their rule and Their families were stuffed into several huge immigrant ships together, and after setting the awakening time, they were directly exiled to the distant interstellar...
The idea of this coalition government is very good. Since those people are not willing to surrender, and since the other party is making trouble for the government all day long, then, very well, they will not kill them, and exile those people to the other side of the distant universe.
Put all the opponents in the immigration ship, and then wake up after setting the destination and reaching the specified time. By then, the opponent has already reached the other side of the distant universe. Even if you want to return to the earth, return to the solar system to make trouble It's all gone, right?
Therefore, after the resolution took effect, the coalition government stuffed all these dissidents into four huge immigrant spaceships, and prepared enough technology and colonial command centers for them to survive, and sent them to a certain place in the universe. Lost in a remote direction, they were left to fend for themselves.
Originally, this plan was very good!
It can not only solve the discordant voices on the earth, but also contribute to the human space colonization plan, which can be said to serve multiple purposes!
It's a pity that the technology of the intelligent brain and navigation system they made seems to be a bit unqualified, and the navigation system will automatically shut down? As a result, the destinations of these colony spaceships and the coordinates of the earth disappeared together... As a result, their original one-year journey turned into 28 years of aimless warp speed voyage...
This is the source of the human race in StarCraft at the beginning. In fact, they do not represent the entire human race, because they are just a small group of criminals exiled by the coalition government.
These four huge space immigrant ships are the origin of the human race in StarCraft. When these exiled earthlings wake up from a long period of frozen sleep, they are shocked to find that the planet they are in Domain, but is being threatened by two powerful alien forces?
Therefore, while they are working hard to develop themselves, they have no choice but to choose to fight!
Only by fighting can we fight to create a living space for these poor people who have been exiled!
Because, those damn coalition governments, they actually calculated the energy and materials of the space immigration ship accurately? At this time when they woke up, all the supplies and energy had been exhausted, which made them want to even move to a safe place.
If you think that Little Annie's trip took place on the side of these four colonial ships, then you are wrong. In fact, it is not...
This is another story. Without Little Annie, these people probably wouldn't appear in the plot of Interstellar I. But now, Little Annie, a butterfly, fanned another storm?
You must know that where there is oppression, there will be resistance. This is an eternal theorem.
**And the brutal new coalition government of the earth, UL, has ruled for a period of time, and there are new discordant voices on the earth again: a small group of people, once again gathered because of a common pursuit, they try to The coalition government issued its own different voices, protested and demanded to improve its own living environment.
However, there are probably tens of thousands of dissidents among them. In the end, all of them, including their family members, were arrested by the coalition government.
Since it has been said before that after the Third World War, the brutal and corrupt new coalition government of UL Earth appeared, so how could they tolerate this small group of new dissidents?
Therefore, it is certain that these people will be arrested.
Of course, if they were all killed, it would be too cruel, too bloody, and too easy to attract people's tongues and cause chaos.
In the end, after discussions, they had no choice but to take up the exile decision once again. Since there are precedents to follow, it will be much easier to handle.
So, in the end, naturally, these more than 100,000 rebels and their families were once again stuffed into another larger space colonization ship that was manufactured.
In 2333 A.D., when all the prisoners entered the cryogenic compartment and set the awakening time and conditions, this poor spaceship was once again set by the coalition government to another remote course that was different from the prisoners exiled before, to prevent After they merged with the previous criminals, they were kicked far away to the other side of the universe...
The experienced coalition government has been very proficient in exiling prisoners. This time, they didn't even try to control the other party at all, and just threw them out.
For these dissidents, they didn't kill a single person, and they didn't imprison any of them!
But just a simple exile can completely obliterate the other party in space and time! When these annoying criminals wake up a hundred years later, who on earth will remember them?
Look at how harmonious and civilized they are united? This is almost a model in the moral world! Whoever dares to say the words of the coalition government, their sixth colonial spaceship to exile prisoners is already on standby!
Anyone who wants to live in, just come and sign up, the coalition government UL welcomes them!
This really has no threshold, no requirements, and includes board and lodging. If one person signs up, the whole family is honored, and the whole family has a share!
At the beginning of 2334 A.D. on the earth, this fifth medium-sized space colonization spacecraft, with two standard interstellar colonization command centers and more than 100,000 exiles, headed in a different direction from the previous four colonization spacecraft, after flying out of the solar system , entered the warp speed voyage, and once again embarked on a lonely and long journey...
...
More than a hundred years ago, the fifth exiled spaceship thrown out by the new coalition government of the earth, No. 5, has now reached its destination, well... In fact, it has no destination at all!
In this strange star field, here, there is no star map for navigation, nor any valuable information, everything depends on their lonely colonial spaceship to explore and seek development and survival.
In the end, whether they can survive here or not depends on their own abilities.
If, by accident, all these people died, maybe, then it would really follow the wishes of the damn coalition government UL at that time, right?
Now, more than a hundred years have passed, and I don't know if UL on the other side of the earth has collapsed. What has become of their earth?
The captain of the Hope, Michelle Yeoh, was sitting on the captain's seat of this giant colonial spaceship, waiting for the crew to be busy and collect various data.
Originally, this colonial ship was not called the Hope. This was the new name given to her by the captain after more than 100,000 exiled and oppressed people woke up.
It means that it will lead them, in this strange star field, towards hope, and find the hope of survival for more than a hundred thousand of them!
Because, those arrogant and damned bureaucrats, they just painted a No. 5 symbol on the outer bulkhead of the spaceship, the identification number five, which means: Exile the spaceship, the fifth ship!
As for other official names? Sorry, they wouldn't waste their precious brain cells on a ship that was doomed to be discarded.
They just woke up today. As the captain, she and the other crew members just went through a short period of simple training before being stuffed into the dormant cabin.
They can only ensure that the ship will not be driven into a certain planet by themselves. As for the rest, you really can't expect those joint bureaucrats who have long regarded them as dead things to do too much.
In the eyes of their UL joint bureaucrats, an expensive colony spaceship has been prepared for these criminals, what do you think of them? Send someone to help them open?
Do not make jokes! What does the life and death of these people have to do with them? Before waking up, the smart computer can help them drive them. As for after waking up, anyway, after training, if they still can't drive, they will be knocked down, and it will be over once and for all!
"Captain, the approximate data has been collected!"
Doug Jones, the current female chief mate of the Hope, took a transparent glass-shaped portable smart terminal about six inches in size, walked up to Captain Zi Qiong and stood there, then gave a fairly standard military salute.
Like everyone else in their bridge, she was not a professional soldier before she entered the hibernation chamber. She was forced to be trained as a battleship officer by the bastards of the alliance. You know, before that, she Doug ?Jones is an artist who loves freedom.
"Read it..."
Michelle Yeoh looked at the various crew members who were frantically busy reading the instructions on the various consoles ahead, and sighed in her heart.
She felt that it would be too embarrassing for her to lead these people to find a planet that could survive and grow stronger.
"yes!"
After Doug saluted again, he searched the smart terminal for the file he was going to report this time with a little clumsiness.
What she did made Captain Ziqiong sigh again and again.
"Currently, our 136,820 people have all woken up, and most of them have adapted. However, more than 3,121 people died of violent reactions! More than 6,000 people lived in the hospital. There is a serious shortage of medical staff in the ward, and we can only rely on intelligent medical robots to maintain the status quo, this is all the information about our ship's personnel."
After swiping a few times on the holographic screen in his hand, First Officer Doug quickly listed the personnel information reported from other positions.
With so many people killed and injured at once, it is obvious that UL's sleep chamber technology does not have the ability to sleep for a long time, but the other party has forced them to sleep for more than a hundred years, and the other party's intentions are obviously more obvious !
"The following is the energy and material situation: the energy inventory of our ship Hope is seriously insufficient. According to the situation sent back by the chief engineer, it can sail for about 60 Earth days at most!"
"Moreover, the most important living materials are not only a single category, but also have a serious shortage of reserves! According to the estimates of the logistics department, the inventory... at most is only enough for 130,000 of us to eat for less than 40 days. After that, only I can rely on synthetic food to continue for a month or two..."
Speaking of this, Doug's face also became a little sad, those bureaucrats of the UL United are too much!
On the colony spacecraft, there is only a small food cultivation warehouse prepared? It was only a few years before these people woke up that they were manipulated by intelligent computers to cultivate a few batches of food crops and embryonic animals, so that now they realized that there was a serious shortage of food?
"It seems... we must find a suitable planet to resume production as soon as possible, and this task must be done before the energy is exhausted!"
Zi Qiong muttered to herself, then took a deep breath and turned to the direction of the navigator.
"Navigator, use the fastest speed to collect nearby star maps. We need to find the closest and most suitable planet. This is the first priority! You must do it as soon as possible!"
She yelled at navigator Anthony sternly.
"Ah, ah? Yes! I, I will as soon as possible!"
Her stern expression made Anthony, who was already a novice, even more flustered.
Then, he quickly helped the glasses on his eyes, and then quickly flipped through the thick paper manual, but, actually, he can use the smart terminal to search, so it would be more convenient?
But, you have to be considerate, he is a novice...
"Captain, I scanned and found a strange rhythmic signal! It looks like it should be an unfamiliar lifeboat, and it seems to be very close to us?"
The radar captain Sonia, who was in charge of radar observation and signal collection, turned around and reported to their captain in a somewhat puzzled tone.
Like the current situation, she has only seen it in textbooks, but this is the first time she has actually encountered it.
"Immediately turn on Hope's active quantum radar and conduct a comprehensive scan of the surrounding star field! Execute immediately!"
To be discovered by a man-made object so close? Captain Michelle Yeoh exploded immediately!
Who knows if that thing is a lifeboat? Or, is it an attack weapon of some alien creatures? Moreover, according to the report of the radar chief, the other party seems to be so close to his ship Hope? How about that?
This matter must be taken seriously, and sufficient vigilance must be maintained!
"What are you still doing?!"
Seeing that the radar chief was still in a daze, Michelle Yeoh became angry.
Sure enough, these newbies are all unreliable!
I'm afraid that among the 130,000 people on board, there are probably less than 100 people who have had formal military training, right? That's not to mention officers in various positions with shipboard experience.
"Ah? Good... good!"
Sonia came back to her senses in a jerk, and began to operate in a hurry. After a while, after turning on the active radar, which consumes more energy, she quickly got specific results.
"Report to the captain! The other party...should indeed be an unfamiliar lifeboat! I haven't observed any energy response. The other party seems to have lost power?"
The radar chief said a little uncertainly, and then turned his head to glance at the data on the holographic screen.
"Now, it is relying on inertia and moving towards us at a high speed along the predetermined track. The distance...is less than 30,000 kilometers! Moreover, according to the life signal, the person sitting on it...seems to be a human being?"
Sonia was also surprised by the signal displayed on the interface.
In this place, in this distant and strange star field, how could there be other human beings besides them? Could it be that the instruments of this spacecraft that has been flying for more than a hundred years have failed?
"Are you sure, you read it right?!"
Captain Ziqiong was shocked. What kind of international joke is this? How can this be?
In this distant and unfamiliar star field, even the exiled people like them have drifted at warp speed for more than a hundred years before arriving here!
So, what kind of thing is this human being (or she) who is riding in a strange rescue capsule now? It's a little too weird to encounter such a situation here, right?
For a moment, Captain Michelle Yeoh was also a little uncertain.
She doesn't know, what should she do?
To be honest, she has only been the captain of a small warship, and she has no experience with such a large colonial ship... She has the expectations of more than 100,000 people. , in the end how to deal with it?
"Captain? What should we do now? In twelve minutes and twenty-one seconds, it will drift past our position."
Radar chief Sonia asked again.
According to the calculation data of the intelligent computer, she quickly obtained the orbit of the other party and the specific time of passage. They hope that the ship must respond before that, otherwise, the other party will drift away along the track.
"..."
Michelle Yeoh didn't care about the chief's questioning again, but frowned stubbornly, wondering what she was thinking.
"Mate Doug, let the marines prepare, equip them with an armored transport spaceship, let them fully armed, and go to capture the rescue capsule. Only after confirming that the other party does not pose any threat to our door can we let it go." They're heading back!"
After thinking for a while, Captain Ziqiong finally made the decision to capture the rescue capsule.
She is also very curious now, is there a human being in that strange lifeboat as shown on the radar? Or other aliens?
Although it would be risky for her Hope to capture the other party hastily, she still decided to do so.
Moreover, she has also taken corresponding insurance measures. Before she is sure that the other party is absolutely safe, she will definitely not let that lifeboat enter her Hope!
At that time, let the marines inspect the transport spaceship before it boards, right? Even if it is really dangerous, is it just the loss of a marine team and a transport spaceship?
"Obey! Captain!"
Doug stood at attention and responded, picked up the communication device in his hand and began to issue orders to the marines who had just woken up.
On their huge immigrant spaceship, at present, there are only two squads of marines, each with ten members, equipped with old-style CMC-300/400 power combat uniforms, 8mm caliber C-15 Type spike electromagnetic gun, the equipment can be regarded as excellent.
It's just... What worries First Officer Doug the most is: these marines, all of them, including the captain, are all recruits...
Is it too much for a group of recruits who have just woken up to perform this kind of mission?
