Inventory of the heavens: start to shock from shining Tiga

Chapter 121 The man who is either rescued or ready to be rescued
Back on Earth, grown-up Murphy and Tom stood in a cornfield, watching the smoke billow from the ashes of the burnt corn.

"Now the cornfield is gone again by one-third." Tom sighed, with less work to do and life getting easier, but this made him more and more anxious: "I will go to Nelson next year. farm work to make up for these losses.”

"What's wrong with Nelson, you need someone to help you." Murphy asked, but Tom didn't answer, just put his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked silently towards the house left by his grandfather.

In the house where he has lived all his life, the company of his family can make Tom temporarily ignore the trouble that he has to burn a lot of corn due to blight, which will lead to a large reduction in harvest.

"Cooper, don't waste food." Sister-in-law Louise taught the second child. Although the environment on the earth has become worse, this son has survived the most difficult and fragile age, and is now several years old. .

Looking at Murphy, Louise asked, "Are you staying here tonight? We basically haven't touched your room."

"No, I have to go back." Murphy shook his head: "There are too many memories in the room...I'd better go back to work..."

At this time, Cooper, who had finished dinner, had just put his cutlery next to the tap when he started coughing.

Looking at his nephew's cough, Murphy said to Louise worriedly: "I have a friend..." Looking at the little Cooper who continued to cough, Murphy continued: "You can check his lungs."

Louise pulled out a forced smile. There have been many doctors who have sought help over the years, but let’s not talk about the difficulty of treatment. After the Great Famine, many cutting-edge medical equipment were scrapped, and now they cannot be manufactured. It is a child with the same disease, which is very common in Cooper's generation, and the long queue is enough to make her despair.

In the window behind Louise, it can be clearly seen that the sandstorm is coming again.

"Emilia, I'm sorry." On the Eternity, Cooper said to Little Brand, who put on a white coat.

"There is nothing to apologize for, you are just objectively analyzing." Little Brand adjusted the equipment on the Eternity and checked the human embryo storage device: "Unless you want to punish me for the mistakes I made on Miller's planet."

"Really, I judge the analysis rationally," Cooper said.

Little Brand said: "You calculate the fuel with reference to the need to return to Earth. If Mann's planet is not suitable for living, then we have to decide whether to return to Earth or go to Edmonds' planet to implement the plan." B."

"This means that you have to decide in the middle, whether to light the human fire in the universe, or go home and reunite with the children." Little Brand said through Cooper's little thoughts: "I believe that by that time, you will It must be rational and objective."

Cooper didn't refute, it was just a counterattack.

The scene changed, and Murphy was walking anxiously in the hospital.

A man obviously knew Murphy: "He has been looking for you since he woke up, so we contacted you."

Murphy walked into the ICU, and Old Brand was lying on the hospital bed at this time. His thin face made him look very bad.

"Murphy..." Old Brand's voice was weak.

But Murphy listened carefully: "It's me, I'm here."

"I let everyone down..." Old Brand's eyes were very blurred.

"No, you have led us a long way, and we are about to succeed." Murphy wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at the old man who was also a teacher, friend and elder in front of him: "I will take over your work and complete your work." research."

"You...have a lot of faith...for so...for so many years..." Old Brand struggled to speak: "I want you to stick to your beliefs...I want you to believe...your father...will definitely come back... "

"I've always believed it, Professor." Murphy said, looking into Old Brand's cloudy eyes.

But it was because of Murphy's firm belief that Old Brand suffered a lot in his heart: "Forgive me...Murphy...I lied to you..."

Murphy's smile froze, and she vaguely guessed what old Brand was going to say.

"He has... There is no need to come back..." Although his voice was like a knife being scraped, Old Brand still told the truth that chilled Murphy: "We have no hope..."

"But what about plan A?" Murphy asked, she couldn't immediately hate the old man in front of her who had treated her as her own for more than 20 years: "All of this, all of these people... and Is this equation... all a lie?"

Old Brand shook his head, cruelly depriving the hope of survival from everyone who was looking at the inventory in the interstellar world.

"Does my father know this?" Murphy's heart beat faster, and his palms began to sweat: "Did he abandon us in the first place?"

On his deathbed, Old Brand looked at the ceiling, and with his last strength, he recited his favorite verse: "Don't...go gently..."

"No..." Murphy looked at the old Brand who had closed his eyes, "You can't go!"

But old Brand was dead.

[Interstellar world, some far-sighted farmers, just raised their inner passion for 10 minutes, and found that people like themselves were actually abandoned, the whole earth was abandoned, only those embryos and " The brave" can survive, even if it is a narrow escape.

They couldn't accept it, and wanted to call to cancel the donation just now.

But soon they realized again.

What's the point of this?

If there is no turning point, the human race on the earth will surely perish. It has nothing to do with the question of what to eat for the rest of the day. Anyway, there are only a few choices. The more deadly problem is the environmental problem.

In the video, although Tom’s first child was not clearly stated, it seems that he was just born and died when his resistance was weakest. Even if the second son passed this stage, he seemed to be suffering from a disease that is difficult for ordinary people. Resolved lung disease.

Looking around on the lonely earth, they found that there really seemed to be no hope.

There are the most rational people and those who do nothing, and the fewest people who are out of control.

But the least part is the noisiest.

They didn't even intend to wait until the inventory video was over, and they had already begun to vent their despair.

Three-Body World, Zhang Beihai looked at Old Brand with flickering eyes.

"Hey, this old Brand is a defeatist like you." Da Shi habitually handed him a cigarette, but Zhang Beihai refused.

Zhang Beihai's gaze was firm: "In the past, the reason I was a defeatist was because I couldn't see any hope in the face of the Trisolarans. Now it's different. We have the Star Destroyer weapon. The Trisolarans Humans have also found a solution to the three-body problem, our conflicts have been resolved to the greatest extent, and we have even begun to cooperate. Da Shi, you can clearly see how the earth has undergone tremendous changes in this short period of time .”

Breathing out a puff of smoke, Da Shiman said indifferently: "You guys, if you want to, you can kill others if you die. Who knows what is going on in your heart? Well, it's none of my business. I'm just a runner. At night, I can use the name of you Wallfacers to travel all over the world for free!"

"We are not Wallfacers, Da Shi." Zhang Beihai said, "Luo Ji is the sword bearer, and I am just the gatekeeper as Luo Ji's backup method. Times have changed, Da Shi, and we and the Three-Body civilization will eventually move towards a better future." The vast universe, rather than just fighting in this one-third of an acre of land."

Da Shi waved his hand: "All right, all right, what happened to that project in the end? I heard that the project to study why the hyperspace engine can't be used is because high-dimensional space doesn't exist?"

Nodding, Zhang Hokkaido said: "Yes, it is a pity that the speed of light will be the peak speed we can achieve for a long time."

After a few words, Da Shi felt tired talking with Zhang Beihai and left.

Soon someone knocked on the door and came in, and sent him letters of appointment from the Pan-Universe Observation Department, the Dark Forest Peer-to-Peer Counterattack Research Laboratory, and the Earth-Three-Body Joint Political Cooperation Early Warning System for Outer Civilizations.

Zhang Beihai's eyes lingered for a while on the calligraphy he wrote on the office wall.

"The more you know, the less you know you know."

This sentence is used to describe the awe of knowledge. In this era of cooperation with Trisolarans and the explosion of technology, it is indeed very appropriate. Not only Zhang Beihai, this sentence is also in the hearts of many people, in books, It is written in the book, it is undoubtedly the slogan of the times.

But for Zhang Beihai, this sentence has another meaning.

The more civilizations you see, the more dangerous your civilization is. 】

In the video, Murphy recorded in front of the camera and told Little Brand about her father's death.

After expressing regret over Brand Sr.'s death, Murphy was about to turn off the camera.

But her movements stopped, she withdrew her right hand, and Murphy stared at the camera: "Brand, do you know? Heh...he told you a long time ago...you know, all of this is a hoax. We're thrown here to die, left to suffocate in sandstorms and lack of oxygen...starve to death..."

But Cooper and others, shortly before the video was transmitted to the Eternity, had already boarded the Prowler and went to the planet where Dr. Mann was located. No one could see her questioning Little Brand.

The Prowler flew among the clouds, and Cooper didn't take the same aggressive approach to landing on Miller's planet.

Because of this, after bumping into a corner of a cloud and finding that the clouds were frozen by extreme cold and were essentially large ice blocks, Cooper, Little Brand, and Romilly, who were sitting on the Prowler, were frightened for a while. .

If they were faster, or directly drilled into the "cloud", they might all have to explain here.

At the same time, the same doubts arose in their hearts.

It's so cold... Is this planet really suitable for human survival?
The Prowler was more cautious among the clouds, found a suitable path, and landed on the rocky ground covered with frost and snow in the empty space above and below.

Wearing a space suit, Cooper took the lead on a nearby hillock and saw a man-made facility not far away.

And here is the scene in the trailer.

A spaceship in the ice and snow.

The three circled around the facility, and without much effort, they found the hatch that was sealed by ice.

After passing through the airtight chamber, the power supply inside the facility resumed and the lights came on.

In this space as large as the living room of an ordinary living room, the most eye-catching thing is naturally a sleeping cabin in the middle.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the facilities, and Little Brand easily opened the hibernation cabin.

Sleeper Mann woke up quickly. He looked at Cooper, a big man who couldn't control his emotions and began to cry.

[The Martian World, Mark Watney looks at the screen while taking care of potatoes.

When he saw the sleeper's face clearly, he immediately froze in place.

What am I capable of, that I have the chance to be a parallel world peer...

Well now, with the appearance of myself in the parallel world, presumably those who are capable on the earth will actively discuss the plan to take him back from Mars!
Mark Watney happily dropped the shovel in his hand, singing and dancing in the shed as excited as a three-year-old child who weighed over a hundred pounds.

Not only is it hopeful to return to the earth, after returning, you can even face the fact that you have quit your job as an astronaut. Just relying on live broadcasts and the like, it is easy enough to earn money that you will not worry about for a lifetime!

He understands humans, as sure as he does! 】
