In the group photo, there were faces in their prime. He still remembered that on the day of graduation, the sun was shining brightly, just like those smiles.

........................

"We are a generation of soldiers heading into the universe, and we are also a generation of soldiers facing competition. Soldiers of the empire must open up a living space for the future generations of our nation!"

"...No matter what challenges I encounter in the future, I will face them head-on! Remember our school motto, loyalty, courage, responsibility, country! If that day comes, gentlemen! Please put the battle flag on me! "

He still remembered that young man's sonorous and powerful speech on the day of the graduation speech.

"How could such a person... have a mental breakdown and harm himself!" He reached out to cover his cheek. After a long time, Major Zhang Chengxi punched his desk with hatred...

"Bang!!!" A muffled sound was accompanied by a shattering sound. Zhang Xi felt a sharp pain coming from his hand. He instinctively shrank his hand, and red blood flowed out from the side of his little finger.

Zhang Chengxi looked intently and saw that the blow he had just hit happened to hit the side of a signature pen. The pen shell was completely shattered by the heavy blow. There is a pressure capsule inside the pen used under such low gravity conditions. The pressure bladder had also burst, and the fragments penetrated his hand, cutting a deep bone-visible wound on the side of his little finger.

Cursing something bad in his heart, Zhang Xi hurriedly pulled out a few tissues and pressed them on the wound, then released the auxiliary fixation on the seat and prepared to stand up to find some bandages for himself to treat the wound.

However, at this moment, Zhang Chengxi suddenly froze. He suddenly seemed to realize something. Some memories that he had ignored just now came to mind like waking up from a dream.

He suddenly jumped up from his seat, and because he didn't control his strength well, he even hit the ceiling with a muffled sound.

After that, he didn't even bother to bandage the wound. He just held the tissue holding the wound and rushed towards the door.

Feng Sui Fort is located on a huge asteroid in the Gubai planet debris belt. This asteroid, which is more than 90% composed of iron and nickel, has a diameter of 143 kilometers. Feng Sui Fort was built based on this. Therefore, Feng Sui Fort was built on top of it. The fort has a weak gravity, but even so, Zhang Xi still seemed to be a little bumpy in the urgent mood at this time, and had close contact with walls, roofs and other entities many times along the way.

But at this time, he didn't care about it at all. After about 5 minutes, he passed two security checks and finally arrived at his destination-several rooms used to store physical evidence.

Many important evidences retrieved from the Suifenhe test ship are stored here. These items are so diverse that several rooms have been set aside to store them.

Before entering here, Zhang Xi had already put on protective clothing. The entire environment here was under negative pressure to ensure that any viruses, bacteria and other items would not leak out.

Chapter 554: Covered Memories

"Hello, Major Zhang. What's wrong with coming so late?" the guard at the door asked politely.

"I have made an important discovery and need to find physical evidence to confirm it."

After successfully passing the guard's inspection, Zhang Xi entered the room. There were a large number of sealed evidence boxes stored in the room. These evidence boxes contained evidence previously retrieved from the Suifenhe test ship.

............................................................

In a separate isolation room, Zhang Xi took over the two evidence boxes found by the guards. All the evidence found in the captain's room were stored here.

Until this moment, Zhang Xi's mind was still a little confused. Looking at the evidence box in front of him, his mind once again recalled the previous events...

This seemingly bizarre incident was eventually resolved by the Marines boarding the ship. Unfortunately, after boarding the ship, the ship's operating console caught fire for no apparent reason. It was later discovered that the computer recording the voyage log and the ship's surveillance video had been damaged. I don’t know if the damage was intentional. Even if it could be restored, it would take a considerable amount of time. There is no technology or equipment in this area in Beacon Castle.

In short, this caused the investigation to lose the most favorable piece of evidence, and it could only rely on the confessions of the surviving crew members to restore the truth of the matter at that time.

However, are there really no key records?Just now, Zhang Chengxi clearly recalled that Ge Huaiyuan had the habit of writing a diary. Because of this habit, he was laughed at by his roommates in the dormitory.

"Who in the right mind keeps a diary these days?" He remembered another roommate from that time and used it to tease him about his old-fashionedness.

I still remember that Ge Huaiyuan just smiled and replied that his mother forced him to keep a diary since he was in elementary school, and he later developed a habit.

However, what makes him feel strange is why he has never thought of this before?

There's no reason... I should have thought of it immediately...

If he guessed correctly, Ge Huaiyuan should have maintained this habit.

While thinking about it, Zhang Xi opened the first evidence box, which contained some books, souvenirs, accessories, tools, blood-stained watches, and even a commemorative medal, which was an engraved piece. Wearing a medal decorated with a blue dragon holding a sword, Zhang Xi remembered that he also had such a medal. It was a medal for outstanding graduates of the Imperial Military Academy.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Chengxi shook his head gently, closed the evidence box, and was about to open the second evidence box to check...

Then...huh?What was I looking for just now?Zhang Chengxi was suddenly stunned. The goal that was so clear in his mind just now was now blurry, and he could not even remember the purpose of coming here...

No matter how hard he tried to recall, he could no longer recall the purpose of coming here just now. Why did he come here?

A feeling of palpitations arose in his heart, and he began to expand his thoughts and review the entire process. He seemed to have made some discovery after being injured. Ge Huaiyuan... He still remembered the state of his death, and his whole body was covered with blood. The scars were initially confirmed by professionals to be self-inflicted, and the blood was almost drained... I probably came here to find something...

Wait...scars...self-inflicted injuries...what I discovered after I was injured...

Zhang Chengxi suddenly had some strange and weird guess in his heart. He turned to look at his palm. Although he was wearing protective clothing, judging from what he felt at this time, there was no longer so much pain there. , probably the wound has started to stop bleeding...

Gritting his teeth, he raised his fist and punched his wound...

A sharp pain came over me!In order to confirm his suspicion, he seemed to have used too much force. Zhang Xi was sure that the fingers under his protective gloves must have started to bleed again.

However, at the same moment, it seemed as if a rag had wiped the mist-covered window again, and Zhang Xi suddenly realized the purpose of his visit!correct!I came here to look for Ge Huaiyuan’s diary!

What happened to you just now?Could it be that there is some kind of power that is deliberately blocking one's own thinking? ! !

If there is such a power, what are the limits of this power?Had he and others been interfered with by this power from the very beginning of their investigation?

So, based on what I just discovered, can severe pain improve this state?

If you think about it from this perspective, whether Ge Huaiyuan also discovered this at the beginning, then his self-mutilation can be understood, and it seems that pain cannot solve this problem once and for all, so he needs constant stimulation to ensure his sobriety. If this is the case, then his self-mutilation would make sense...

But, what is the force that causes this mental shielding?

Zhang Chengxi was able to confirm that he had never been exposed to such a strange situation before. This kind of power is extremely obscure and cannot even make people realize that they have been tricked. It allows people to subconsciously target someone without even realizing it. Turning a blind eye to some key information that should have been noticed...

Zhang Chengxi can even imagine that there must be many people in the entire base at this time who are already in a state similar to his own, and it is not impossible that... all of them... are not impossible!

While Zhang Chengxi was thinking, he quickly opened the second evidence box. Not long after, he found a blue notebook with blood stains on the cover in an evidence bag that was pressed at the bottom of the box. Strangely, this The notebook was originally supposed to be an important piece of evidence, but until it was put into the evidence box, everyone who handled it ignored its existence...

This is extremely inappropriate!

At the same time, this is also a fact that makes Zhang Xi feel horrified. Imagine that all the people involved in the accident investigation turned a blind eye to an important piece of physical evidence, as if it was a blind spot in thinking, and everyone was looking at it. Deliberately ignore it!

Zhang Chengxi no longer cared about the relevant regulations and took the notebook out of the evidence bag. Then he did not open it immediately to read it, but turned on his mobile phone and set three alarm clocks in succession, each with a time of 3. Minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, there is only one setting reminder:

Pain can bring back memories! ! !

Then, he opened the diary and started reading...

The front part of the notebook shows some daily trivial matters that happened about a year ago. Looking at the date of the diary, it turns out that Ge Huaiyuan did record something every day, some less, only one or two sentences, and sometimes he wrote more.

Chapter 555 Ge Huaiyuan’s Diary

Zhang Chengxi ignored the previous contents and quickly flipped back the diary, quickly finding the part after February this year.

July 37, 2

………………

When I received the video transmitted from home, I didn’t expect that my little potatoes would already be able to call daddy. I really missed them... When I came back this time, I thought I could take a long vacation, so I wanted to spend time with them...

………………

July 37, 2

Today, the test ship set off smoothly and the boys were very excited. Everyone knows that this voyage will definitely go down in history.Of course, we all hope to make some new discoveries during the journey...

………………

July 37, 2

We encountered a space turbulence. Navigation in subspace is quite different from normal space navigation. It is more like being pushed forward in a rapid river. This requires constant adjustment of the attitude of the ship. This is convenient. I feel that stronger assisted driving systems can be developed, but of course, this may require collecting more data.

………………

July 37, 2

I didn’t expect Henry and Clive to have such a hobby. I personally don’t discriminate against people of the same sex... Well, maybe I am indeed a bit old-fashioned. Today I warned them, at least on my ship, they can’t do that...

………………

July 37, 2

Today, Clemont told me about Henry and Clive again. Considering that in the future, after the popularization of subspace navigation, the distance and time of interstellar navigation will become longer and longer. He suggested that we can appropriately increase the number of women in the future. The ratio of crew members, otherwise, if this continues, the boys may fall in love with their left hands.

I think he is right. On our ship, there are only six girls in the radar and electromechanical departments, and two of them are married. The overall ratio is indeed too low.

………………

After reading this, Zhang Chengxi suddenly stopped what he was doing. He suddenly remembered a question. Zhang Chengxi knew about the six female crew members mentioned in the diary.There are a total of 62 crew members on the Suifenhe, and 6 of the official crew members are female, assigned to radar and electromechanical tasks respectively. However, he also remembered that the ship's scientist Ms. Vivian was also a woman...

Apparently she was not included in the diary. Was this a clerical error, or did the calculation only include official crew members?

Zhang Chengxi frowned slightly. In his opinion, Ge Huaiyuan was a very meticulous person... In fact, this was also a quality that many Air and Space Command students were required to develop.

After all, soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival... As a future captain, or even fleet commander, any inadvertence may have serious consequences.

He still remembered that in the war game before graduation, Ge Huaiyuan and he were on the same team. At that time, his team was the winner. Due to their good performance in this war game, he and others were successfully selected for the selection list of the Earth Defense Force. …

I still remember that Ge Huaiyuan was already in love at that time, and the woman was a junior high school girl from the Communications Department. At that time, the management of the military academy was relatively strict, and love was not allowed, but the rules were the rules, after all, they were all young people. I also helped them pass the whistle...

Zhang Chengxi recalled the scenes in the military academy in his mind. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something... By the way, what did he do here?

What are you here for?Why did I forget it all of a sudden... Zhang Xi recalled in confusion as she subconsciously put the diary in her hand back into the plastic bag and put it back in the evidence box...

What exactly are you looking for?It seems... I just made a very important discovery...

Just why can't I remember it?

At this moment... Zhang Xi's cell phone suddenly started to vibrate. He took it out and opened it and took a look. There was a reminder on the phone: Pain can bring back memories! ! !

There seemed to be something that was about to come out in his mind, and some memories that had begun to fade began to vaguely appear in Zhang Xi's mind, but what it was was still a little bit...

Zhang Chengxi no longer hesitated and pinched her thigh immediately, but she still didn't think about it.

Is it not to a sufficient degree?Zhang Chengxi guessed the crux of the problem, and he looked at the wound on his hand...

boom! ! !

He punched the wound hard, groaned, and broke out in cold sweat. Zhang Xi could clearly feel that the wound had a tendency to expand and tear.The inside of the gloves was sticky and must have been soaked with blood.

However, all the questions that he could not recall just now came to mind. Looking at the diary that he had sealed and put back in the evidence box, Zhang Xi felt a chill in his heart. Just now, everything was under my nose, everything was so natural. If the alarm clock hadn't rang at the end, I would have completely ignored this diary...

However, from this, the guess has been confirmed. He finally knows why his good friend Ge Huaiyuan, an elite graduate of the Imperial Military Academy, committed suicide!

Zhang Chengxi looked at the time again and quickly estimated that it took about 4 minutes from the last time he self-inflicted harm to the time he started to lose his memory. Before that, the time from the injury to his finger to the first time he lost his memory was a full amount of time. It takes about 10 minutes. This means that the process of losing memory is not uniform?

Two guesses appeared in Zhang Chengxi's mind. One is that the speed of memory loss will become faster and faster. If this is the case, then the next time of memory loss will be approximately two to three minutes earlier. .

Another possibility is that he just noticed the problem of female crew members recorded in the diary, and Ge Huaiyuan did not include Ms. Vivian.

Is it because of this suspicion that he came into contact with some important truths, which caused the unknown shielding power to intensify the interference with his memory?If this is the case, then... there is probably something wrong with Ms. Vivian!

Zhang Chengxi quickly adjusted the alarm clock on his mobile phone again. This time, he changed the alarm reminder to:

Vivian? ? ?Severe pain will bring back the memory!

Taking out the diary again, Zhang Xi continued reading with questions...

July 37, 2

Today we detected a huge object wandering in the distance and following us for a long time. We don’t know whether it was just a passing meteorite that happened to be in the same direction as us, or whether it was an unknown creature. body?

Are there living things in subspace?This is a controversial issue.It is generally believed that the subspace environment is not suitable for the survival of the biological species we know, but can living organisms transcend the limits of our cognition?Some astrobiological research suggests that the definition of living things may be broader...

........................

PS: Today I posted a setting collection explaining the logic of Zhang Xi’s behavior. If you are interested, you can take a look.

Chapter 555 Vivian’s Charm

July 37, 2

Today is a good day. The test ship successfully returned to the normal universe. Everything went smoothly. We reached the first preset jump position. This news made everyone excited.

A small dinner was held on the ship in the afternoon. We will rest here for a day, and then we will enter the subspace again and start the second round of jump.

........................

Ms. Vivian is really radiant and everyone likes her very much. It should be said that if the scientists on board the ship have such good looks, I think the efficiency of the boys will be greatly improved.

Just kidding, if I hadn't been married, I might have tried to pursue her too.

........................

July 37, 2

Hell, White actually dueled with Yamashiro for Ms. Vivian. Did these two stupid guys completely forget the regulations on the ship?The solitary room will sober them up!

Today we entered the subspace again, everything went well, except for those two guys with sperm on their brains...

........................

When Zhang Chengxi read this, the doubts in his mind were getting bigger and bigger. According to the description in the diary, the day after they encountered the huge object, Vivian's records began to appear in the diary. In the previous In the entire 11-day diary, this name was not mentioned once, as if it came out of nowhere.
