Chapter 683 587 I Never Want to Conquer the Sea of Stars Again
Matt’s voice came from the headset, “The Explorer was hit! Dr. Stone was knocked off the shuttle!”
The debris was floating in the air, and the situation in front of him was visibly urgent.
Yamada Masaharu felt that he was going to die.
With this sense of substitution, if Pokeni admits to being second, no one dares to admit to being first, and you can be turned around and vomited.
Matt’s voice also rose a lot, “Dr. Stone! You must get out now!”
“Huh?” Dr. Stone asked in confusion, and at the same time couldn’t help but gasp loudly, because as a scientist who had just been sent into space after only 6 months of training, encountering such a situation was completely beyond her cognition and imagination.
In a crisis situation, people don’t know what to do.
“If you don’t get out, the robotic arm will drag you away.”
Due to inertia and gravity, the robotic arm will eventually be dragged into the earth’s atmosphere, and then burn under intense friction. By that time, Dr. Stone will become a roast suckling pig before returning to Earth.
After Astronaut Matt finished explaining, a new task prompt appeared on the top of the screen:
Unfasten the seat belt tied to the robotic arm and detach from the robotic arm before the countdown.
There are still 20 seconds left.
…
According to the instructions, you need to select the seat belt button on the abdomen through the joystick while rotating continuously.
Shoji Yamada immediately became nervous, because years of experience told him that if the setting of pokeni clearly stated [will die], then there is a high probability that it will really die.
And based on the current situation, Shoji Yamada's brain can't think of what kind of hidden plot can be triggered if the seat belt is not unfastened and detached from the robotic arm.
Sure enough, the seat belt was not unfastened within 20 seconds, and Shoji Yamada fell to the earth together with the robotic arm.
A ball of fire appeared in the sky, like a meteor.
A big [YOU DIED] appeared on the screen.
Damn...
Yamada covered his face in pain.
…
Try it again, Shoji Yamada successfully unfastened the seat belt, and under the force, Dr. Stone was thrown out by the mechanical arm, and the whole person rolled in the boundless universe.
This feeling is both magical and uncomfortable.
Under Matt's command, Shoji Yamada learned how to use the jetpack on his back to help him stabilize his body.
After stopping the rotation, Shoji Yamada finally let out a long breath.
Slowly controlling the heroine to roam in the boundless space, looking back, he found that he had been thrown out a long distance just now.
The space shuttle in the distance has become a small paper airplane, and she has also stepped from the bright side of the earth just now into the darkness.
The magical and beautiful experience made Shoji Yamada's heart surge.
Fortunately, it didn't last long, and astronaut Matt found her.
Matt tied the seat belt with Dr. Stone to take her back to the space station.
…
The two of them moved towards the distant space shuttle one after the other, driven by the jetpack.
Because they were hit by satellite debris while working in space, another astronaut who was outside was hit, so they had to retrieve the other person's body and bring it back to the space shuttle.
This way, the companion can return to Earth tomorrow.
Following the route instructions, Yamada Masaharu successfully found the companion in the cold space.
Looking at the other person, Yamada Masaharu was a little scared:
Because this unlucky guy was hit directly in the head, the helmet was broken, and when the fragments passed through the brain, due to the influence of the vacuum, the pressure inside and outside was inconsistent, and the things in the head were sprayed out through the wound.
The companion in front of Dr. Stone only had a face and half of the skull facing her direction, and the rest was gone.
How miserable it is.
It's scary to see.
Yamada Masaharu couldn't help but admire Pokeni.
You said it's just a space simulator game, why do you make it so realistic? We just want to experience the feeling of space, and we didn't ask you to make such a scary thing for us.
…
The next section of the road was relatively easy to walk. Dr. Stone held the body of his companion and controlled the jetpack, gradually coming to the previous space shuttle.
But when he got closer, he saw a big hole in the head of the space shuttle, which was obviously damaged by the chain collision.
Dr. Stone's heart skipped a beat, and the people inside were probably in danger.
Matt didn't give up either. The two decided to go in and explore, maybe they could find companions and useful items.
As a result, just as Yamada Masaharu entered the hole, a corpse floated out and hit his camera.
Woo!
Yamada Masaharu was frightened by the pale corpse flying out of the space shuttle.
Pokeni, this can be used to make a horror game.
The skin of the corpse was still intact, but it was a little swollen due to the pressure difference between the inside and the outside.
After exploring inside for a while, there was really no living person in the space shuttle.
Dr. Stone couldn't help but close his eyes sadly.
...
Next, the only survivors, Dr. Stone and Astronaut Matt, can only go to the International Space Station, which is closest to them, to save themselves, hoping that everything will be safe there.
With the help of the International Space Station's return capsule, they may still have a chance of returning to Earth.
The two people once again pulled each other to fly to the International Space Station with little nitrogen left.
Slowly the sun moved from one side of the earth to the other.
At the junction of Asia and Africa, the distant sun casts a huge arc-shaped halo on the other side of the earth. It looks beautiful and magnificent, and even makes people feel insignificant.
So beautiful.
The beauty is breathtaking and intoxicating.
At the same time, Masaharu Yamada couldn't help but sigh that pokeni's game is so well done. This kind of experience is completely impossible to feel in other games.
Just the changes in the huge earth as the background plate, he couldn't imagine how it was done.
In fact, pokeni uses a sky box, which is a circle of planes outside the real game platform, just like a huge ring formed by connecting the head and tail of a rectangular piece of paper.
On this ring, the animation is played facing the camera.
In fact, the underlying logic is calculated by the program, and every step is carefully controlled.
…
As time went on, some indicators on the operation panel also lit up.
There isn't much oxygen or nitrogen left.
Dr. Stone's oxygen level was less than 2 percent.
"It's over, it's over, how are we going to live?"
This is the first time Yamada Masaharu has played such a real game. He finally solved the crisis of being thrown into space, but now you tell me that the oxygen is gone.
In the vast universe, where can we replenish oxygen?
Based on the oxygen consumption just now, Yamada Masaharu felt that he was about to be suffocated to death before he reached the International Space Station.
It's strange to say that he was sitting safely on the earth with fresh air around him, but when he saw Dr. Stone gasping for air in the game, Yamada Masaharu felt like he couldn't breathe.
"The oxygen bottle is gone, but you still have it in your spacesuit, but you have to take it in small sips."
Matt commanded, "Think of it as red wine."
After hearing his words, Dr. Stone calmed down and began to take small breaths.
In space, all that's left besides the music playing on Matt is Dr. Stone's labored breathing.
…
Meanwhile, to relieve his boredom in space, Matt chats with Dr. Stone.
Talking about the past between the two, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Matt even said that he liked Dr. Stone very much, and if he could return to Earth, he would definitely pursue her.
"I hope I can return to Earth." Dr. Stone smiled implicitly.
As we neared the International Space Station, the nitrogen in our backpack was gone.
In other words, you can only rely on inertia to move forward.
"We will definitely have a bad collision later, but we must remember!
No matter what it is, try to grab whatever you can. If you miss it, you will really become a cold corpse in space! "
Matt gives stern advice.
Yamada Masaharu couldn't help but become nervous.
The shape of the International Space Station continues to expand.
When he got closer, he realized that this guy was so huge, it was like a fortress in space!
…
And from the huge open parachute outside the International Space Station, it can be seen that it has also been attacked, and it is estimated that everyone inside has escaped.
It is very likely that what you are facing is an empty city without people.
As the International Space Station's eyes rapidly zoomed in.
"coming!"
Matt yelled.
The two men slammed into the shell of the International Space Station.
However, the edge was too slippery and the direction of the impact was not ideal. Yamada Shoji struggled in the air for a long time and pressed the interaction button desperately, but failed to grab anything that could be climbed or a handle.
Bang!
Dr. Stone hit the shell hard,
Die, die, die!
Yamada Masaharu's heart was in his throat.
But at this moment, the strap connecting the two people was cut by the huge solar sail outside the International Space Station.
So they bounced back and forth heavily and flew towards the boundless universe.
despair!
Attacked Masaharu Yamada.
Because you can't change your direction without a borrowing point in space, and the gravity provided by the mass of the International Space Station is simply not enough to pull Dr. Stone.
…
Just when Yamada Masaharu was in despair, Matt flew over from above and reached out to pull her.
The two people held hands, but still couldn't change the tendency of flying away, flying towards space.
Just then, they passed through a thin strip of parachute.
Dr. Stone's luck was so great that the strap caught her foot and dragged her along.
But Matt wasn't so lucky.
No matter how hard Yamada Shoji stretched out his hand to catch him, he always missed it by just a little bit.
After countless SLs, Yamada Masaharu discovered in despair that Matt seemed to be really untouchable and unable to pull him back.
…
So under such circumstances, astronaut Matt missed Dr. Stone, and with just a touch of his fingers, he slid into the boundless and dark universe.
Yamada Masaharu's pupils are earthquake.
What! ?
Isn’t Matt going to die now? !
To be precise, Matt, who had lost his power and anchor, could only keep flying in the current direction, getting further and further away from Dr. Stone.
…
The BGM of this section is tragic and touching, and at the same time it exaggerates the feeling of despair that is cold to the bones.
Even after a long time, the face Matt passed by and the weak hand reaching out to her still remained in Yamada Masaharu's mind.
Heartache beyond measure.
Damn pokeni!
Do you want a male protagonist in a space simulator? !
Too impersonal, right?
Matt is such a good person, very reliable and gives people a sense of security. Even when he was desperate, he never gave up hope, and he always encouraged the heroine.
How he wanted to see the sweet time the two people spent loving each other together after returning to Earth.
But now you tell me:
This man is hopeless.
And it's not that he will die immediately, although he has already been pronounced dead, because there is no power and no point of leverage in space, so Matt can only drift into the boundless universe.
At the same time, the oxygen is almost exhausted. Isn’t this slow death?
For a healthy person, you have to watch him die bit by bit as time goes by. The feeling is really more uncomfortable than killing him.
This is probably the most cruel way of farewell brought about by pokeni that Masaharu Yamada has experienced in so many games.
He finally realized it now:
It turns out that the old thief Gu Yuan Chunqiu was really kind because his knife was fast enough. Except for the subsequent memory killing, which was a bit stinging, the deaths of the male and female protagonists were actually quite pleasant.
Even if it's a movie like LIFE-LINE, which tells you that the male protagonist is terminally ill at the beginning, it actually makes you have an anticipation process.
Because cancer cannot be cured, it is still acceptable.
But the problem is——
Matt is obviously a lively astronaut.
That feeling of powerlessness is really hopeless.
…
"Listen to me, you have to get on the space station."
Even though he was declared dead, Matt still remained optimistic under such circumstances and directed Dr. Stone to leave her with the hope of life.
"See the airlock?"
"Above you, next to the Dawn Pod."
As the camera moved, Masaharu Yamada also followed Dr. Stone's perspective and saw the circular hatch hanging overhead.
"Yes, I saw it."
"Good, you're going to go there," Matt said with a smile, as if he was describing something easy and effortless.
But Masaharu Yamada took a quick look and felt that the difficulty was not that high.
Stone gasped.
Matt continued to ask, "Are you feeling a little dizzy now?"
"right."
"That's because you're breathing in carbon dioxide."
The oxygen in the space suit has also been used up. Now inhaling too much carbon dioxide will cause brain hypoxia and coma.
So there wasn't much time left for Dr. Stone.
In the panel, you can probably see that your oxygen value has returned to zero and is completely red.
The brain's label also began to decrease, and Yamada Masaharu had a hunch:
By the time the [brain value] reaches zero, death should not be far away.
"So you have to hurry up and board the space station."
…
As Matt continued to shrink, he shrank into a small white dot in the dark and boundless universe.
This time, Yamada Masaharu felt despair inside.
For the first time, he completely felt the loneliness in the game——
In the vast universe, I am the only one alive, and there is no one to talk to.
Space is cold and lonely, with no living creatures in sight.
This feeling is so uncomfortable.
…
At this moment, for the first time, he felt that it was great to be alive on earth.
I no longer want to conquer the stars and the sea.
