The last human in the universe

Chapter 157
The first gravity bomb was safely captured and temporarily stored in the space shuttle.

For humans, this gravity bomb is simply unresolvable.People don't expect to get technology from it at all.Because no one can be sure whether these research actions will detonate it.

It can only exist as a weapon far beyond the current level of technology, as a hole card.

Although this hole card also has a lot of restrictions.

For example, people cannot conveniently put it out.Because too high overload pressure may detonate it, and its explosion time cannot be precisely controlled, because people are not sure which method can detonate it.But even with so many disadvantages, its value is too high to measure.

If there are no suitable conditions, it can be created consciously.Maybe when facing the enemy in the future, people will design strategies and tactics around it.

After it was verified that this method was feasible, the search operation continued.In particular, after repeated searches to confirm that there are no gravity bombs around the Yuanhang spacecraft, people finally dared to move it slightly to include more areas within the search range.

"That is, in the interstellar space with extremely low matter density, we can use the current method to search for these gravity bombs."

Facing the search operation that is gradually on the right track, Zhuang Yunwei sighed: "If it is in a place close to the stars, the density of matter is too high, and too many muons are generated, and we can't tell which muons are produced by these things at all. of."

The specific technical details and engineering realization were completed by hundreds of thousands of scientists led by Zhuang Yunwei and Viragash.But initially, the most fundamental direction was based on Zhao Changxing's promotion and conclusion.

At this moment, Zhao Changxing's decision and conclusion have been proven correct again.

"We are all lucky to have leader Zhao Changxing leading our civilization forward."

At this moment, not only Zhuang Yunwei, but almost everyone had the same idea in their hearts.

Time passed slowly, and several years passed in a blink of an eye.During this period of time, a large number of spaceship wreckages were found along the way.

They are big or small and have different shapes.There are also some attached instruments and equipment, some have been damaged, and some have not been damaged.

Some of the undamaged parts have already been used, like the original projector found.Others don't know what to do.But regardless of whether the purpose is clear or not, these things are the most precious treasures for scientific researchers.

Perhaps, a hint of the mystery of advanced civilization can be glimpsed from these things.

In addition to the wreckage of the spacecraft, a total of 17 gravity bombs were found.One of them happened to be on the route people had originally planned.

If it is not found in advance, then once the Yuanhang spacecraft tries to escape forcibly, there is a high probability of directly colliding with it.Its possible consequences are hard to predict.

This makes people feel very grateful.

Among the 17 gravity bombs in total, as many as 9 were detonated for unknown reasons during the capture process.This resulted in the loss of up to nine unmanned salvage boats, but luckily no one was injured.

The remaining 8, plus the first one for a total of 9, were all placed in the space shuttle ship numbered J2, and connected to the Yuanhang spacecraft through a [-]-kilometer-long cable.

"It's time to leave."

In the main control room, Zhao Changxing whispered an order.

"Yes."

In the vast space, the Yuanhang spacecraft, which had been staying here for several years due to an accident, finally started its engine again.

The bright and majestic tail flames spewed out from the tail of the spaceship again—because of the high directivity, these tail flames would not be sprayed into the space shuttle being towed—propelling it, once again Started to move forward slowly.

There are less than [-] people who are still awake at this moment, and the rest have all gone to hibernation.Because hibernation is the most resource-saving and energy-saving way of survival.

And the remaining less than 10 people were all concentrated in the No. [-] "drum".For the remaining two drums, all life support facilities were closed.

Not only them, but the rest of the Yuanhang spacecraft can also be closed as much as possible to save energy and resources as much as possible.

Even people's food has become monotonous from the previous combination of meat, eggs, milk, vegetables and other different foods.

Meat, eggs, and milk became rare, and the supply of vegetables began to be limited. The staple food was no longer all grains and wheat, but some starch was added.

Because Zhao Changxing shut down most of the grain factories, vegetable factories and meat factories, and started the starch factory instead.

The reason for this is also to save energy and resources.

From now on, the less than 10 people who are still awake will need to perform the spacecraft maintenance tasks that originally required at least 30 people under the premise of a high shortage of food supply and various life-support resources.

The burden of the task is heavy, and the suffering of life can be imagined.But Zhao Changxing had no choice.No one can do anything about it.

That's the price.

Fortunately, Zhao Changxing formulated a corresponding policy, stipulating that a person only needs to be on duty for half a year before going to hibernation in rotation, and other people will replace him to complete these tasks.In this way, the situation where some people can't bear the pressure and have a nervous breakdown is avoided.

But this also means that the Yuanhang spacecraft's ability to bear risks has been minimized.In this regard, people can only hope that luck will be better, and there will be no more accidents.

Time passed slowly, and after finally breaking away from this "minefield" without any danger, this interstellar voyage was on track again.

Time passed day by day, and the days always maintained an unchanging orbit, and the starry sky outside the spaceship also always maintained that appearance, never refusing to change.

Only that star is getting brighter and brighter.

At this moment, the exterior of the Yuanhang spacecraft is full of roughness, spreading like the earth to the invisible distant outer armor. Dai Yunfei is wearing a spacesuit, holding tools, and concentrates on disassembling a monitor, taking it out One of the broken parts was removed, a new one was taken out, and it was installed.

This seemingly simple job took him more than four hours.

After he was busy with all this, he finally had time to press the button and report to his superior that this fault had been eliminated.

He knew that with his report and subsequent equipment self-inspection, in the main control room of Yuanhang spacecraft, a red dot would go out on the big screen in front of Leader Zhao Changxing.But he also knew that within this short period of time, there might be two, three, or even more new red dots appearing.

Voyage ships are always like this.When one fault is eliminated, more faults will appear.He even suspected that he would never be able to see the day when all the malfunctions of this spaceship were eliminated.

"This wreck."

He complained in his heart, but did not leave here and returned to the interior of the spaceship.Although his stomach is empty now, the bowl of starchy porridge he drank in the morning has already been digested.

Because, this mission is his last mission before hibernation after his half-year duty period has expired.

He can finally break free from this sea of ​​suffering for the time being, and for the time being, he doesn't have to be always busy every day, and he is always rushing to different fault handling points every day.

Finally can rest.

He floated above the deck of the spaceship like a continent, with his arms raised and pillowed on the back of his head, in a leisurely lying posture.

Boundless darkness and tranquility, accompanied by bits of starlight, overwhelmed him.

Although the speed of the spaceship has reached thousands of kilometers per second, at this moment, in his view, the spaceship still seems to be stationary.

"I don't know when I can reach the new galaxy..."

He looked at the bright star in the universe, and his thoughts seemed to have drifted there ahead of his body.

"When we arrive in the new galaxy, we will have enough resources to produce food on a large scale, raise pigs, raise cattle, raise sheep, raise fish...you can eat meat."

The last time I ate meat was almost two months ago.What I ate was frozen meat that had been frozen for an unknown number of years.

Although the preservation technology is extremely advanced, even if it is frozen for decades, there will be no loss of nutrition, but the taste is not authentic.

After enjoying a moment of tranquility, he sighed and returned to the spaceship.

"Fei, you're back."

"Going to hibernate, Ah Fei?"

"Oh, Ah Fei, you are finally out of the sea of ​​suffering. Poor brother, I have to hold on for another four months."

"This is really not a life for people."

"Come on, leader Zhao Changxing only eats a bowl of starchy paste for a meal, and only eats meat once every six months. Your food is better than that of the leader, and you still complain."

The companions looked at Dai Yunfei who was about to start hibernating, and their voices were full of envy.

Dai Yunfei waved his hands listlessly: "Oh, once I close my eyes, brother, I will come back to suffer again. When will this day be the end?"

During hibernation, people have no time to feel.No matter how long hibernation is, people only feel that they closed their eyes just a moment ago.

For Dai Yunfei, the hibernation is over, and this kind of life continues, only the next moment after the hibernation starts.

After greeting my companions, I took out my ID card and swiped it at the console, and a mechanically synthesized voice came out: "Mr. Dai Yunfei, hello. You have completed the half-year mission execution deadline, and you can go to Hibernated. Human civilization thanks you for your efforts, now, please follow the guidelines..."

According to the guidelines, Dai Yunfei lay down in the hibernation cabin.The next moment, he lost consciousness.

The next moment, he opened his eyes again.

In the blink of an eye, decades had passed, and it was time for him to wake up again.

"This day, when will it be a head..."

Dai Yunfei wailed in his heart, and reluctantly got up from the hibernation cabin.
