Planetary Museum

The pressure from the water disappeared in an instant, but Wu Xiaoqing felt that he was still floating.

No, not feelings, but facts.

The characteristics of a young man allowed Wu Xiaoqing to quickly adapt to the new environment. He looked around and found himself floating in a huge empty room with the only light on in the room, which was behind him. The light cast a huge shadow on his body on the wall more than ten meters away in front of him.

It seems to be quite warm, this is the first reaction of the almost naked Wu Xiaoqing.

"Search and rescue team, you are finally here... But everything here is over, we... no, it's just me, I don't need help anymore."

"I know, I was just... passing by. I'm sorry I couldn't..."

"No need to apologize, search and rescue team, no need, you have done enough for the pan-universe, and it is enough to exchange information before everything is over."

"I'm sorry, the exchange of information should be meaningless..."

"Can't it? Yes, it should be like this, you just..."

There are two voices talking, the voice is very soft, but the environment is quiet enough, Wu Xiaoqing can still hear clearly.

One of the voices sounded familiar to him.

Wu Xiaoqing tried to exert force in the direction of the sound, so he immediately rolled in the void. He struggled a few times to grab something to use, but he couldn't catch anything. After tossing a few times, Wu Xiaoqing became Instead of swimming, he found that it seemed to work a little bit.

After swimming for about half a minute, Wu Xiaoqing's body slowly floated closer to one wall of the room. He stretched out his hand and touched it. It was cold and hard, and it should be metal. He tried to knock again, and the wall made a low sound.

"He's awake. Now that he's a new member of the search and rescue team, is the operating system already in such distress?"

"Oh no, this is a rescued person... I don't meet the conditions for rescue, but I am asking for help... Now I can't do more."

"A life that is willing to ask for help is always worthwhile."

Wu Xiaoqing vaguely felt that they were talking about himself, he carefully controlled his body, trying not to make any noise to affect their conversation-everything here was beyond imagination, but Wu Xiaoqing knew that one of them saved him and came here by himself Seems to be just unexpected guests.

At this time, a "door" was opened somewhere on this "wall", and one of the two dialogue voices said: "Wu Xiaoqing, follow the light, come here."

The lamp behind him moved forward and stopped in mid-air.

With the help of the light, Wu Xiaoqing carefully grasped all kinds of strange things protruding from the "wall", and slowly approached the opened "door" under the light of the slowly moving light.

When he reached the door, the light flew into the passage, Wu Xiaoqing kicked hard on the edge with his feet, and his body flew into another room.

Or should it be called space.

A very wide open space.

A huge space that is several times wider than a dozen stadiums put together.

But Wu Xiaoqing was not immediately shocked by this huge space, he didn't even have time to observe the environment.

——From the first moment of entering this space, all of Wu Xiaoqing's mind was firmly captured by the distance hundreds of meters above his head.

It was a deep, penetrating, timeless, boundless, bright starry sky that could never be seen in the atmosphere!

This... what is this place?

Wu Xiaoqing's knowledge of physics has long been returned to the teacher, but any normal person standing in Wu Xiaoqing's position can immediately judge the environment he is in.

I... have I come to space?

It took a long time for Wu Xiaoqing to come back to his senses.

The two voices were still talking, and now they sounded much clearer.But Wu Xiaoqing noticed that the direction and location where the sound came from was empty and nothing could be seen.

A kind of chill spread in Wu Xiaoqing's heart - by this time, Wu Xiaoqing certainly understood that this must not be a ghost - and it must be much scarier than ghosts!

"Don't be afraid, Wu Xiaoqing, just wait where you are, you will know soon."

With this sound, the light source left, and Wu Xiaoqing noticed that the light source should be some kind of small aircraft, only the size of a ping-pong ball.

Wu Xiaoqing didn't know what the voice was waiting for, but while they were waiting, their conversation continued.

"Captain, how long can we last here?"

"Not long. Before you came, I was already preparing."

"Captain, I can take you away. Wu Xiaoqing's civilization is considered safe."

"You know, Search and Rescue, this is against the rules."

"Yes, it violated the regulations." Unable to explain the reason, Wu Xiaoqing felt that the already deep voice of the search and rescue team seemed to be even deeper when it came to this point.

"Hold on." The captain said, "There are not many principles we can still believe in."

"You can give up most of the information. Although Wu Xiaoqing's civilization is only at the second level, you can still keep about 0.03% of the information and..."

"It's exhausting, Captain, exhausting. We're all... aging, and it's a relief for me to be over. I don't need to cause trouble for others."

At this time, the light source flew back again, and it stopped in front of Wu Xiaoqing.

Wu Xiaoqing saw a pair of glasses hanging under it, and realized that it was for himself, so he took it and put it on.

The dark room instantly brightened up. Through the glasses, Wu Xiaoqing saw a huge red spaceship parked in the middle of the square in front of him. The whole spaceship was in the shape of a pencil. Wu Xiaoqing found that as long as he thought in his head, the glasses The size of the spaceship can be adjusted at any time.

There are two people standing beside the spaceship, they are just virtual models, one looks like a soldier in military uniform, the other looks like a policeman in uniform, they should be the captain and the search and rescue team respectively.

Wu Xiaoqing didn't know that this model was only a vague simulation based on his vague understanding of the world, and there was no concrete image of the real speaking existence.

Wu Xiaoqing tried to use glasses like playing a game.

It is indeed very good, this pair of glasses is also equipped with enough subtitles to explain, even with only a junior high school education, Wu Xiaoqing can still see one thing - this spaceship is almost scrapped.

Dark red means that the function of the area has been damaged. In the glasses, the spaceship is almost all dark red, only the small room I just entered, the huge space I am in now, and several nearby locations are still marked with dark red. ——Crimson also means that the function is greatly damaged, and it may be scrapped at any time.

Wu Xiaoqing quickly noticed that on the originally dark and smooth walls around the room, you can now see many areas of various colors, each area has instructions, central switch, particle pipeline, compressed energy transmission system... Wu Xiaoqing knows These individual words, or the meaning of individual words, but what it meant to be placed on a spaceship, he was completely unclear.

Some of these displayed components are orange, and the components can be seen by clicking on the corresponding position.Some are green, some can be opened, and some show that they are in use, so they cannot be opened.

For Wu Xiaoqing, these things are like treasure boxes. He pressed them one by one on the wall. Although he couldn't understand what was inside, he still found it very interesting.

After turning on a main switch, Wu Xiaoqing noticed that the whole switch was silver-white, and he saw the description on the glasses: "Material: Silver."

Wu Xiaoqing looked at this silver plate bigger than a washbasin in surprise, and blurted out involuntarily: "The whole thing is made of silver?"——This thing must be worth a lot of money, right?

The voice belonging to the captain answered his question: "Yes, silver, among the non-superconducting materials, is the most suitable metal for conducting electricity. It is useless, and it is just a funeral object here... Do you need it? ? Search and rescue team, isn't this against the regulations?"

Wu Xiaoqing was still a little embarrassed. At this time, the voice that rescued him, that is, the search and rescue team said: "Take it away, enough for you to pay back the money."

Wu Xiaoqing found the disassembly switch of the silver plate according to the instructions of the glasses.

Wu Xiaoqing found the disassembly switch of the silver plate according to the instructions of the glasses.

Fortunately, this is a gravity-free world, and Wu Xiaoqing was quite relaxed when he got it out of the wall.

Wu Xiaoqing pushes it back and forth with his left and right hands, and it probably weighs twenty or thirty catties. When he went to sell gold bars last time, Wu Xiaoqing remembered that the price of silver was about five yuan per gram. Based on this calculation...

"If you need it..." The captain's voice sounded again: "There are some more valuable ones here, magnetic field generation pipes, with superconducting wires in them, the earth civilization should already have similar materials, so it won't violate the regulations, and You can get a good price ... right there, the white area."

According to the continuous reminders sent by the glasses, Wu Xiaoqing happily rushed to the indicated area. He did the most work in Dayang Village. Scrap metal for sale.

This supposedly expensive wire is much smaller than the big silver block, but it was troublesome for Wu Xiaoqing to pick it up because it was too long, so he had to wrap the wire around his body in the end.

After doing this, Wu Xiaoqing pushed the big silver plate and "swimmed" towards the two of them. His image was like a person wrapped in kelp in the sea, holding a lifebuoy to survive.

"His needs are easy to meet." The captain's tone was full of sadness, "It's a pity that the needs of too many civilizations are too difficult to meet..."

A violent shaking interrupted the captain's words, and Wu Xiaoqing was taken aback. He saw in his glasses that a nearby dark red room had just turned dark red.

"The second-order carbon-based biological cycle system that was just launched has collapsed... Sorry, I wanted to treat Wu Xiaoqing to a meal, but..." the captain said again, "You should leave as soon as possible, the remaining energy can't support it. How long does it take, the central control room will collapse soon, and we will enter the meteorite belt in three hours, we don't have much energy to protect against the impact."

"Are you sure you want to stay here?" the search and rescue team asked one last time.

"What's the point of giving up most of the information and maintaining a mentally retarded existence? However, this...take it away, at least it can prove that a great civilization once existed so proudly."

The captain asked the light source aircraft to bring over a rectangular box, and put it into the wall, in a groove marked "Cleaning Robot".

The next moment, the robot came out of the wall.

At the same time, in Wu Xiaoqing's glasses, the character model of the search and rescue team also disappeared, and his voice reappeared from the trash can-shaped robot generator: "Wu Xiaoqing, follow me."

Wu Xiaoqing entangled the wire, pushed the huge piece of silver, and went back to the room where he stayed just now along the way he came. According to the captain's instructions, Wu Xiaoqing kept his body in the middle of the room.

"Farewell, Captain," said the search and rescue team.

"Farewell, Search and Rescue Team." The captain replied, the voice wafting from the direction of the central control room, almost inaudible, like a breeze.

White light flashed again.

Wu Xiaoqing stared blankly at the familiar bridge in front of him, some inexplicable meaning, some indescribable things, continuously washed Wu Xiaoqing, making him forget to put on his clothes immediately.

I don't know how long it took, Wu Xiaoqing felt a numbness, and then realized that his hands could no longer hold the heavy silver, and he was reluctant to let go of this piece of wealth. Wu Xiaoqing insisted on hugging it, and ran to the bridge to put it down. place for clothes.

Wu Xiaoqing put on his clothes quickly. He turned around to greet the search and rescue team, but was startled by the scene in front of him.

In front of Wu Xiaoqing, a huge red curtain was unfolding in the night sky. It was so large that it almost covered the entire starry sky above his head. The whole night seemed to be brewing a bloody storm.

Wu Xiaoqing took off his glasses, but everything was as usual—this seemed to be the same simulated image as the inside of the spacecraft, which could only be seen with glasses.

Wu Xiaoqing noticed that the robot in the shape of a trash can was also his savior search and rescue team. At the moment, he was holding his Apple mobile phone in his hand, facing the curtain of the sky from the angle of taking pictures.Wu Xiaoqing raised his head, and he noticed that many bright red lights in the image were flickering rapidly, like blood-red eyes; some were flickering slowly, dark red, like dried blood stains.

In the entire red sky, there are only a few yellow or green color blocks. From the previous experience in the spaceship, Wu Xiaoqing probably realized that this must also mean some kind of heaviness.

Seriously heavy.

Wu Xiaoqing can feel this seriousness, but Wu Xiaoqing's past career—a career that is backward enough even for second-order carbon-based organisms, and shallow enough for this backward civilization—is far from enough to teach him how to Face this seriousness.

So, Wu Xiaoqing just accompanied the search and rescue team in a daze, staring at that piece of sky along the direction of the phone's shooting.

It was a dark red color block that was flickering, and its already sluggish flickering frequency was getting slower and slower, and the interval was getting longer and longer.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes...

Suddenly, the robot retracted its mechanical arm and put the phone back.

Wu Xiaoqing noticed that the flickering of the dark red block hadn't flickered for a long time.

Under the silver-white moonlight, a person, a machine in the shape of a trash can, stood quietly beside the bridge under the red curtain.

holding wealth.

and a tombstone.
