The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 550 Gently Walking into Eternal Night

In the huge underground facility, there is a rocket tens of stories high, and dozens of robots are repairing it.

Accompanied by the ethereal and gradually passionate melody, with a hint of grand and sacred melody, the audience and the protagonist on the screen are undoubtedly overwhelmed by the visual spectacle of looking up.

Chen Bo's hairs stood on end.

Perhaps it is because of the sudden and inherently shocking presentation of the human industrial miracle on the IMAX screen, the contrast between the height of a human being and the magnificence of the propeller is naturally shocking.

Or maybe it's because of this sacred, vast, and penetrating musical bonus played by an unknown instrument.

"Interstellar" is like reading a beautiful poem with a strong sense of immersion, unconsciously raising the tone step by step, accompanied by the generation of suspense one by one, cracking, and then suddenly reaching a climax.

It also seems to mark that the last part of the space trilogy has finally entered the topic.

After all, there is finally something to do with space, with rockets, with spaceships.

It's just that the movie was sold for a long time.

"... people hope that the sun's expansion will have a limit. In recent years, many people, even the government, have told people that the sun's expansion rate is slowing down, and the day when it will stop is not far away. Now, it may take another 30-[-] years for the sun to re-enter a stable state."

Chen Kun's voice trembled a little: "Isn't it?"

Wang Jinsong smiled gently: "This is a lie. The sun's expansion rate is not fast, but there is no sign that its expansion is approaching the limit. Maybe we still have two generations, maybe three generations. At that time, our era, the era of life on the earth It will be over for good.”

"why……"

"Why lie to everyone? Not to deceive everyone so that human beings can continue to fight for leftovers in the last decades of life?

Of course, this lie can't be hidden for long, maybe ten years or twenty years...

But it may also be longer. When everyone enters the dungeon, when everyone no longer looks up to the sky, human beings will naturally continue to convince themselves to continue to believe this lie.

Then... gently walked into Yongye.

Your daughter's generation may be the last generation alive on earth. "

Chen Kun looked away from his daughter, and his tone was full of expectation and affirmation: "Do you have a way to save this world?"

Wang Jinsong continued to lead Chen Kun through a gate: "We are not going to save this world, we are going to leave this world."

Accompanied by the once again excited music, another huge atrium appeared in front of Chen Kun.

A vertical spaceship with a height of more than ten floors came into view.

"Stellar Seeker, the last then incomplete component of the only multipurpose craft still in orbit, the Endurance, our last expedition ship."

Wang Jinsong's great plan to save the world finally emerged.

Fifty years ago, the sun began to expand, and since then humans have detected more and more gravitational anomalies, mostly slight distortions in space satellites and instruments.

Some people think that the reason why the sun expands is because the gravitational force of the star is abnormal, so that the tug-of-war between the force generated by the nuclear fusion energy in the center and the gravitational force that tends to collapse the star begins to change, and the hydrostatic balance enters readjustment cycle.

But the reason for the expansion of the sun is only speculation, and the most obvious and shocking anomaly that has been verified is the space-time disorder near Saturn 48 years ago.

a wormhole.

And this wormhole leads to distant galaxies.

No one knows why the wormhole appeared, just like no one knows who used gravity to send a message to lead the hero to the space agency.

But no matter what it is, whether it is an alien or what it is, human beings are not prepared to give up this opportunity.

And the appearance of this wormhole makes human beings and potentially habitable planets no longer separated by heaven.

According to the initial detector detection, there are seven galaxies and twelve planets in the galaxy on the other side of the wormhole.

Ten years ago, twelve Starseeker spacecraft were loaded with supplies that could sustain life for two years, and carried twelve astronauts through the wormhole to the other shore.

However, astronauts can use hibernation to extend the time of resupply support, and even observe the existence of organic life for more than a decade or more, and assess the possibility of a planet being suitable for human habitation.

Once it is evaluated that it is suitable for human survival, it will send a signal and enter a long-term dormancy, waiting for rescue to arrive.

If the planet is not suitable for human survival, then it should be sacrificed for the continued exploration of human beings, because the space agency has no ability to rescue all twelve planets.

The technology of transmitting information through wormholes is not yet developed. Only a set of simple binary data packets are sent every year to judge which planet has potential. According to the data packets sent back, there is a galaxy that is very promising.

There are three possible potentially habitable worlds in this galaxy.

And the hero's task is to be the only astronaut who has received astronaut training and testing after the twelve heroic astronauts, take the Starseeker to the Eternal, which is still running in close to the earth orbit, and there is hope. galaxy containing three planets.

Based on this, Wang Jinsong has two plans, A and B.

Plan A is to immigrate all human beings to the habitable planet beyond the wormhole after the hero finds a habitable planet.

In fact, the entire base is a huge centrifuge, essentially a space station.

It is enough to carry the load of far more than a hundred Eternal ships. Only a few hundred ships of such an incredible space station are built to immigrate the entire human race to an alien planet.

However, it is impossible for such a behemoth to enter the space with the aerospace technology and material technology that human beings are still driven by chemistry.

However, the gravitational anomaly has brought an opportunity to solve it. It not only makes human beings realize that gravitation can be controlled, but also can use various gravitational anomalies for research.

Wang Jinsong started a research project, trying to solve the problem of controlling gravity, and started building the space station ahead of schedule.

Plan B is the Fire Project, allowing a small group of people to bring tens of thousands of fertilized eggs and human gene pools to liveable planets.

People on earth are naturally abandoned, including Chen Kun's children.

This is also difficult for Chen Kun to accept.

But Wang Jinsong promised that his research was nearly completed, and by the time the hero came back, he would have solved this problem.

Chen Bo looked at the big screen thoughtfully. The two plans, A and B, had the feeling of "The Wandering Earth", but in "The Wandering Earth", it was the navigator space station who ran with the ball and served as the kindling.

And here is to solve the gravitational equation, to save all human beings, and the spark project of Eternity.

This collision of big and small, morality and hope, profit and greater good does have considerable fascination.

Chen Kun accepted this mission, but the return date is hard to determine. After all, it will take two years to reach the wormhole next to Saturn by driving the Eternity. There may be three planets to be explored in the wormhole. , and considering the journey back, it is at least a journey of several years.

"They chose me, you saw it, and you let me see it, they sent me the coordinates of the space agency..."

"That's why you can't go!" The little girl opened the notebook and said eagerly to her father: "I deciphered the information on the previous bookshelf, look, two words, stay! That ghost asked you to stay!"

Chen Bo's nasal cavity is a bit astringent. I have to say that although Chen Jingxing has changed his style in this movie, he no longer adopts a fast narrative rhythm like "The Center of the Earth", "Mars" and "Inception". Moisturizing silent narrative.

But the portrayal of emotion is indeed quite delicate.

Especially for Chen Bo, who also has a daughter, he has a more sense of substitution than others. After all, Murphy in the movie is a little older than his daughter.

But when he saw Chen Kun handing over his watch to his daughter, his daughter Murphy saw through the truth that her father didn't know when he would come back, and threw the watch to the ground angrily. , Chen Bo could no longer hold back the tears that filled his eyes.

The daughter, who was sitting on his lap and staring intently at the big screen through the gap between the two seats in the front row, was still oblivious to his father's tears.

Only the wife next to her was keenly aware of her husband's emotions, her eyes were flushed, and she held her husband's hand.

Perhaps people with children are more likely to empathize with the scene of parting with children.

Judging from the audience's reaction, this kind of emotion is not unique to Chen Bo and his wife.

When Chen Kun drove away in Juechen, accompanied by the sudden high-pitched music, the drums and instrumental music in the background sound became more and more dense, and the synchronized sound effects were the countdown sound of the spaceship launching [-], and the more and more sounds in the theater. A tragic atmosphere.

And at the moment when Murphy rushed out of the gate to keep his father, this atmosphere was brought to its peak.

The sadness and majesty of the music reverberated in the theater, suppressing the weak crying of the little girl, the sporadic choking and sobbing in front of the screen, and the sound of pulling out a tissue was like the soundtrack of the audience.

At this time, even the daughter sitting on Chen Bo's lap seemed to feel this kind of sadness, and she snuggled back into her father's arms.

This kind of scene is the sense of mission to save mankind on the one hand, and the scene of family affection on the other hand is very impactful to the audience in the theater.

The increasingly high-pitched and mournful music was gradually lost in the huge sound of rocket ignition.

But the director doesn't seem to want the audience to immerse themselves in this pathetic aftertaste.

Immediately afterwards, the Starseeker spacecraft adjusted its posture in the silent space, and accompanied by tense soundtrack, was manually operated by Chen Kun to dock with the even more gigantic Eternal multifunctional spacecraft that lacked a corner.

The quiet and distant starry universe, the beautiful earth, and the light and shadow created by the sun are constantly moving and changing with the rotation and flip of the spacecraft.

Even though Chen Bo has already watched "The Center of the Earth" and "Mars", he is still moved by the director's more poetic lens language at this moment.

The sadness just now was also smoothed by a kind of lonely calm, and the notes of aftertaste echoed in the ethereal music.
