Escape the Library

【Deep Starry Sky-05】

At eight in the morning, everyone gathered on the tarmac on time. The 12 people, all dressed in capable blue camouflage uniforms, stood neatly in two rows, full of energy, and looked like a special operations unit.

Everyone took the hover car to the spaceship park and boarded the spaceship in an orderly manner.

Yue Xingwen came to the console and unlocked the driving authority of the "Thorns" spacecraft. The buttons on the LCD screen really lit up, flashing soft blue light.

Ke Shaobin leaned over and said, "This operating system looks pretty simple?"

"Well, the key functions are clearly written, and even laymen like us can control them." Yue Xingwen pressed the "take off" button on the screen, followed by a prompt on the screen: "Please set the sailing destination."

A spectacular map of galaxies appeared before us.

In the dark blue starry sky, the stars are twinkling, and some planets are marked with blue light points, and the spacecraft can land; but most of the planets are in a state of "unselectable", indicating that the footsteps of human beings have not yet reached there, or It is the planet itself that is not suitable for landing.

Yue Xingwen swiped the galaxy map with his fingers and searched carefully. Soon, he found the destination of the trip, "Nebula Beta-71". After choosing the end point, two blue navigation paths appeared in front of him.

Yue Xingwen looked back at everyone: "There are two routes, which one should we choose?"

Jiang Pingce came over and observed it carefully for a moment, and said, "One is a low-speed route, and the sailing time takes seven days; the other is a space transition, crossing several galaxies in a row to reach the end point, and the sailing time can be shortened by half, only three days. Two. Routes may encounter different conditions.”

Yue Xingwen couldn't make a decision alone, so he simply said, "Let's vote. Those who choose route 1 raise their left hand, choose 2's right hand, and the minority obeys the majority." In this way, even if there is danger later, no one will will complain.

The students looked at each other and began to vote——

Eight people raised their left hands and chose the longer route No. 1.

Yue Xingwen smiled and said: "It seems that everyone is scared by the library. Would you rather be slower and safety first?"

Liu Zhaoqing said: "Anyway, there is enough food on the spaceship, and you can take a bath if you have a place to live. Staying on the spaceship for 7 days is better than exploring an unknown planet, right?"

Xu Yishen nodded in agreement: "I think so too. This course requires us to survive for a month. It's unnecessary to arrive at the destination so early and be exposed to the wind and the sun all day long."

Lin Manluo said: "At least no alien monsters attacked us on the spaceship!"

Ke Shaobin, who raised his right hand, wanted to speak, but after hearing everyone's words, he forcibly endured it. Seeing that he was on the verge of speaking, Xin Yan leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to say?"

Ke Shaobin said in a low voice, "Although I also want to stay on the spaceship and have food and shelter... However, the spaceship is not necessarily safe. I always feel that the library will not play cards according to the routine."

Xin Yan said lightly: "Don't worry. I think that deliberately giving us two options is to test everyone's mentality. In fact, no matter which one we choose, it will not be too good."

Ke Shaobin thought about it carefully and found that Xin Yan's statement was more reasonable. It's like putting you in a lottery, giving you two options and making you think one is better than the other. As a result, "Thank you for your patronage" on the left and "Thank you for participating" on the right - no matter which one you choose, there is no good result, which is in line with the style of the library.

Thinking of this, Ke Shaobin was relieved and looked at Xin Yan with a smile: "You still see clearly. That's it, choose route 1, it takes a little longer, and we just happen to see the cosmic scenery along the way."

Yuexingwen selects route 1 in the navigation map.

A soft mechanical voice sounded in my ears: "The navigation route has been selected successfully, and an application for take-off has been sent to the apron command headquarters. Please sit in your safety seats and fasten your seat belts. The end point of this voyage is the Beta-71 Nebula. , the sailing time is 168 hours and 30 minutes.”

There was a row of seats next to the command room. Everyone quickly sat down and fastened their seat belts around their waists.

The prompt "Allow takeoff" appeared on the screen, and the spacecraft began to vibrate violently.

After a while, blue wings with a length of 10 meters popped up on the left and right sides of the hull, and the sound of the rapid rotation of the engine buzzed in my ears, followed by the rapid opening of the metal door on the roof of the apron, and the spacecraft Like an arrow from the string, it instantly rises into the sky!

In less than 10 seconds, the spacecraft came to the ground.

Everyone looked out through the porthole - they saw that there was scorched earth everywhere, and there was no trace of green plants. Their underground base was located in the vast desert.

In order to prevent other creatures from invading, an air defense net like a copper wall and an iron wall was built above the base, and those laser lines were enough to instantly strangle the approaching creatures into pieces.

As the spaceship quickly took off, Yue Xingwen saw the landscape of the entire planet-in addition to the military base where they were located, there were many underground shelters outside for human survival. There are very few buildings on the surface, usually used for sentry or defense.

A mechanical sound appeared in my ear: "The outside temperature is 48 degrees Celsius, and the air humidity is 10%."

Lin Manluo frowned and said, "Is this environment too bad? The humidity suitable for human survival should be between 30% and 60%. The humidity here is only 10%, plus the high temperature of 48 degrees, which is better than the hot and arid desert. The area is even scarier! If people are in such an environment, within half an hour, they will be dehydrated and shocked by the heat.

Zhuo Feng shrugged helplessly: "It's no wonder that humans have to hide underground. At least, the underground will be cooler."

Ke Shaobin analyzed: "It seems that the living star that humans rediscovered after the destruction of the earth has an extremely harsh environment. The dried vegetables and dried fruits we saw in the supermarket may have been brought by humans from the earth and cultivated by themselves. ."

Xin Yan said: "This place is not suitable for plant growth at all. Humans must have a special plant cultivation base. In addition, the oxygen content in the air is not enough, and chemical reactions may be required to produce oxygen."

Liu Zhaoqing complained: "In short, in this wasteland environment, human life is extremely difficult. I hope our world will never usher in this day."

Everyone fell silent, and turned their heads to look out the window with mixed feelings.

The spacecraft escaped from the atmosphere at a very fast speed, and the resident star quickly turned into a small dot in the eyes of everyone until it disappeared.

The view outside the porthole transformed into a vast starry sky.

In the pitch-black sky, meteors slid constantly, and the surrounding planets, large and small, nebulae of various colors and shapes, such a novel and magnificent starry sky landscape, made everyone amazed.

Ke Shaobin quickly summoned a small picture to start shooting: "I want to make a starry sky landscape video!"

Xu Yishen said with a smile: "It's much more spectacular than what you can see with an astronomical telescope!"

Everyone excitedly admired the starry sky.

It wasn't until a few hours later that everyone's excitement was completely over.

Yue Xingwen glanced at the navigation map - so far, the Thorns spacecraft has been sailing on the set route, without the slightest bump, very stable. There is oxygen supply equipment inside the spacecraft, and there is no discomfort in breathing and speaking.

Compared with the previous survival class, the treatment this time was too good, but it made Yue Xingwen even more uneasy.

He frowned slightly, stared at the navigation for a few minutes, then turned to look at everyone and said, "It's almost lunch time, get ready to go to the restaurant, leaving two people on duty in the command room."

Jiang Pingce took the initiative to say, "I'll stay."

Yue Xingwen: "...cough, then I'll stay with Ping Ce, you can go eat first."

Jiang Pingce is usually unsmiling, and Yue Xingwen is worried that other classmates will be too embarrassed to say anything if they are on duty with Jiang Pingce-or, is he used to being with Jiang Pingce in everything?

Yue Xingwen looked up at the porthole in front of the command room. The window just reflected the figures of two people. The two boys in smart camouflage uniforms only had a height difference of about 5cm. In front of them was the vast cosmic starry sky. They stood side by side. , actually has a strange sense of... a good match?

Wait, what is he thinking about!

Yue Xing Wen Er's roots became hot, and he immediately drove away the strange thoughts in his mind.

A conversation from the classmates came from a restaurant not far away: "Do you eat mouse meat?"

"No, I want to eat worms."

"I only have snake meat to accept."

"Otherwise, try all the flavors to see which meat tastes the best."

"Young Master Ke, let's try it!" "Yes, Xiao Ke is a warrior, you have to be the first to eat crabs!"

Ke Shaobin said bluntly: "No problem, I'll taste it first, and I'll tell you the taste after I've tasted it."

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce: "..."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Yue Xingwen couldn't help but complain: "Ke Shaobin is really willing to eat those who fly in the sky, climb on the ground, and swim in the water. His recipes are so extensive that even alien creatures can easily accept them."

Jiang Pingce said: "He is in a good mood. Before eating Xin Yan's steamed vines, didn't they taste delicious?"

Yue Xingwen held back a smile and asked, "How about you, can you eat these strange cans?"

Jiang Pingce was silent for a moment, then frowned: "I don't really want to eat it."

Yue Xingwen thought to himself, sure enough. Jiang Pingce has a mental cleanliness, let him eat mouse meat, he would rather go hungry. Fortunately, there are also dried vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator. Yue Xingwen softly suggested: "Then you can eat more dried vegetables, compressed biscuits, etc., which can also supplement nutrition."

Jiang Pingce nodded in agreement: "I think so too."

While chatting, suddenly, the spaceship shook slightly, Yue Xingwen was stunned, thinking that he had an illusion, and immediately asked: "Did you feel your feet shaking just now?"

"Well, it's shaking." Jiang Pingce frowned slightly and looked down at the navigation screen.

The blue dots representing the "Thorns" spacecraft are still on the set interstellar route. Since the route on the screen is proportionally converted, the spacecraft has been slowly moving forward along the route.

——But at this moment, the little dot that flashed blue light was actually motionless.

Jiang Pingce stared at it for two seconds, his face suddenly changed: "No, the spaceship stopped!"

Yue Xingwen's expression also became nervous: "What's going on? Could there be a malfunction?"
