Infernal Rhapsody

Chapter 32 Shealing

Sailing in the vast space, most of the time, the surroundings are dark and cold, as if there is no life.

After the interstellar jump, I sailed for several days, and finally showed an orange-red blurred light in front of me, and the roaring sea of the abyss was finally far away.

The space shuttle gradually approached its destination, and more and more cosmic dust drifted in the void. Passing through the illuminated lights, it disappeared in an instant in the depths of absolute zero darkness.

Slowly, small ice crystals appeared in front of it, and the volume of the cosmic dust became larger and denser. It came to the surface and had nowhere to hide. It hit the outer wall of the space shuttle's defense and made an inferible tremor.

Countless dry ice, meteorites and asteroids flew out of the darkness at a high speed and shuttled by the shuttle. When the tremor gradually became obvious, Captain Parker, who carefully piloted the space shuttle, slowed down again and increased the defense shield energy of the hull.

The orange light is getting stronger and stronger, and an endless asteroid belt appears in front of us. The diameter of the asteroid is about dozens of kilometers, and the speed is surprisingly fast. From time to time, two or several of them hit each other fiercely, bursting out extremely brilliant sparks, which is frightening.

Driving the space shuttle to avoid the two asteroids flying back and forward, Captain Parker said with emotion, "I thought I would never come here again in my lifetime, but today, I came again." He looked at Di Changli very seriously and said, "The place where your parents used to live is in front of you, and you must cross this planetary belt. To tell you the truth, I'm not even sure that half of it can pass through, and the risk factor is very high... Well, if your parents have spirits, they must not want you to be desperate, just for Go and see their old house. Are you sure you really want to go?

"Thank you for bringing me here. I don't want you to risk your life to help me." Di Changli said, "If you don't want to move forward, please give me the exact coordinates and I can come back next time."

Captain Parker smiled and said, "Well, I'll take back what I said before. In fact, Mr. Di gave me a fairly safe channel. However, he has repeatedly told me that if you come to me one day, let me try my best to give up the idea of visiting them. If there is really no way to stop it, I can bring you here.

Di Changli was a little puzzled: "Why did they do this?"

Captain Parker also felt the same way: "I also think it's unreasonable. Maybe Mr. Di has a reason why he has to." He took out a chip, put it into the data tank of the driving system, maximized the output of defense energy, and shouted, "Sit down, we're going to break in."

The space shuttle cut into the asteroid belt, like a leaf being swept into a rapid turbulence, and an inexplicable gravity made the space shuttle almost completely out of control in an instant. Fortunately, Captain Parker's driving skills are very skillful. He dealt with it easily, quickly stabilized the space shuttle, and drove into a seemingly breathtaking but safe invisible route.

After the two federal standards, the asteroid belt gradually became thinner, and a small galaxy surrounded by three large planets around a star was faintly. Captain Parker, who was highly concentrated, relaxed a little and smiled, "Our destination is coming soon. It is an unknown galaxy. Mr. Di named the star the Yangtze River, so we can call this galaxy the Yangtze River."

"Yangtze River? I seem to have heard this noun somewhere." Di Changli thought and said, "Well, by the way, I saw it in a book between mythology and science fiction. It says that there used to be an extremely brilliant and developed ancient civilization planet in the galaxy - the earth, which is the origin of the whole human civilization today, and the Yangtze River is the mother river of a major nation on the earth. "

Captain Parker looked at him incredulously: "Mr. Di also told me the origin of this noun, but I didn't expect you to be exactly what he said."

At this time, a comet flew with a long flame tail, hit an asteroid several kilometers in diameter above the space shuttle, and exploded violently. A fist-sized asteroid debris hit the space shuttle that could not be avoided in time, making it suddenly shaken, and nearly half of its defense energy was suddenly consumed.

This was a sudden accident. Captain Parker didn't care much about it. He was about to press the degree button of the light brain automatic energy module when a strange "ssm" sound suddenly sounded in the cockpit. Captain Parker was stunned and his face suddenly changed. He turned around and ran away.

"What's wrong?" Di Changli didn't know what was going on and quickly ran after him.

Captain Parker didn't have time to explain to him. He ran to the instrument cabin of the life-sistance system, rudely smashed the sealed door, looked in, and immediately roared angrily: "Damn it, how could this happen?" Before the roar, he was suddenly stunned again, the great panic grabbed his heart, and his face turned gray.

"What happened?" Di Changli, who followed him, just asked this sentence. After seeing the situation in the food cabin of the life-sistence system, he immediately understood the current situation - the air discharge system was running.

When a toxic gas is detected, the air discharge system will start to operate automatically. How can toxic gas appear in the space shuttle for no reason? Di Changli was very surprised, but he didn't feel how serious the situation was. Seeing Captain Parker standing motionless, he quickly reminded him, "Captain Parker, we should quickly put on space suits and wait for the system to re-create air."

Captain Parker woke up and replied in a distracted way, "Yes, yes, you should wear a space suit."

The air drained quite quickly. After a while, the two felt that the intake of oxygen was seriously lacking and stuffy. When they put on the space suit, the cabin was already in a weightless vacuum, and many unfixed items floated.

The light in Captain Parker's eyes was changeable, gritting his teeth, sometimes hating, sometimes sad. After a moment, he suddenly said to Di Changli, "Go to the escape pod."

Di Changli was stunned and said, "Go to the escape pod? Why?"

"There is no reason." Captain Parker said in an ordered tone, "This is my ship. It's up to me. Just listen."

Captain Parker's attitude has always been gentle. At this moment, he is abnormally stiff, which made Di Changli stunned. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll follow your orders." He believes that for whatever reason, Captain Parker should not be malicious to him.

After entering the escape pod, Di Changli realized that something was wrong. Captain Parker actually released anesthetic gas, which showed that the escape pod would be bounced off the space shuttle. He was surprised and suspicious, and shouted, "Captain Parker, what are you going to do?"

did not answer. Due to the effect of anesthetic gas, Di Changli only felt dizzy. After several breaths, his consciousness completely fell into a blank state.

"Bumble, you damn beast, how can you do such a thing? I'm really blind." Captain Parker looked miserable and cursed over and over again. He found that in the previous shock that was not very serious, the oxygen generator had been damaged. In other words, after the original air of the space shuttle was emptied, there would be no fresh air to breathe. This is definitely not an accident, but man-made.

Who would deliberately put himself and Di Chang to death like this? Without thinking too much, Captain Parker realized who the culprit would be and regretted it. He underestimated the power of money, which was enough to make many people take risks under the wealth he had accumulated over the years.

Only a few people were present to change their will. They were usually trusted partners. Captain Parker could not guess who would leak the news to Bumble and what benefits would bring to that person.

Captain Parker understands that he will never have a chance to seek the truth again. He regretted that he did not regret his death, but his behavior also plunged Mr. Di's son into a huge crisis, which was an unforgivable mistake.

The destination is not too far away. It can be reached in about three or four standards, but the amount of oxygen in the space suit can never last for so long. The oxygen stored in the escape pod itself can provide for two people to survive in hibernation for about half a month. However, when they enter the hibernation state, it is completely up to fate. Captain Parker is not sure whether they will be rescued. Therefore, Captain Parker decided to increase Di Changli's survival hope as much as possible.

The chip was removed from the data slot of the driving system, and Captain Parker placed it in the escape pod system, set up an escape route, and resolutely shot it out of the escape pod.

Then, Captain Parker returned to the cockpit, sat quietly in the main driver's seat, calmly prayed for Di Changli, waiting for the arrival of death.

"Child, don't cry when you fall down, be brave, get up by yourself and come to your mother..."

A beautiful face smiled gently and opened her hands to Di Changli. The soft sunshine sprinkled on her body, full of maternal brilliance.

"Mom!"

Di Changli shouted, trying to run up and hug her, but his body didn't listen to the command at all, as if he was pressed by a mountain. No matter what, he couldn't move, and he couldn't even make a sound. The gentle smile on the beautiful face remained, patiently encouraging: "Don't worry, child, take your time. Mom believes that you will be able to stand up by yourself. Mom is waiting for you here."

Suddenly, a fog filled, and the beautiful face gradually blurred and slowly disappeared in front of his eyes. Di Changli sweated heavily and struggled desperately. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw the scenery around him. He couldn't help but be confused: "What is this place?"

At the top of the head, there is a yellow light flashing. Immediately, Di Changli completely woke up and realized that he was in the escape capsule of the space shuttle and recalled what happened before he fell into a coma. He checked the records of the escape pod and found that he had been dormant for a whole month. The oxygen and nutrients in the escape pod were about to run out before he was forcibly awakened by the program.

Di Changli opened the observation window and looked out, but only saw a darkness and nothing could be seen clearly. After thinking for a minute, Di Changli opened the hatch of the escape pod and carefully poked out his footsteps.

At his feet, he was on the ground and was very flat. Di Changli stepped out of another leg again, and his whole body had just stood completely. Suddenly, the surroundings were open and open. Di Changli was a little uncomfortable for a moment and was stimulated to narrow his eyes slightly.

"Welcome, travelers from unknown distances."

A metal-like sonorous sound is a standard federal language. Although it is transmitted through an electronic loudspeaker, it is still thick and powerful, shocking.

Is there anyone there? Di Changli was overjoyed and quickly looked around and found that he was in an extremely wide closed space. The dome above his head was dozens of meters high, standing in front of a long ladder with hundreds of steps. Looking up, at the end of the stairs is a strange stone building, with a symmetrical and rigorous pattern and carved pavilions. The scale is extremely large, and the image is magnificent and solemn, like a magnificent and majestic palace in ancient mythology. There is a large plaque above the palace, engraved with three strange square characters, but it is a kind of text that Di Changli has never seen before.

"Traveler, please come up." Another sound came from the palace.

"Who are you?" Di Changli asked loudly, secretly speculating where he was now.

This simple question seemed to make it difficult for the other party to answer. After a while, the voice sounded again: "I am the guardian of Weiyang Palace." Repeated, "Traveler, please come up."

Di Changli's heart moved and understood that there was no one, but the intelligent system here found its own activities and had just delayed for so long to get an answer. It must have taken a lot of time for the intelligent system to analyze his questions. At present, I no longer hesitate to guess and stride to the long stride.

When you go straight to the top of the stairs, you will see the two vermilion gates of the palace closed. The voice said again, "Traveler, please fill in the correct answer to this calculation question within half an hour. Otherwise, this guardian will judge that you are a creature with low intelligence and refuse to accept you into the Weiyang Palace. If you have any act or attempt to break in by force, this guardian has the right to use force to destroy you.

After the sound fell, a touch screen rose from the ground. Di Changli couldn't help but be a little stunned when he looked at the question shown above. This question is --1+1=?

Di Changli filled in a 2 casually, and the guardian immediately said, "The answer is completely correct. It took two seconds. You are very smart. Congratulations, you have been promoted as a guest and been allowed to enter the Weiyang Palace." The tone became quite smooth and cheerful, as if he felt a little happy.

Di Changli can't laugh or cry, and is secretly surprised. Not to mention that this intelligent system that claims to be the guardian has the ability to think and judge, it seems to have its own emotional tendencies. How is this possible? Federal technology has not reached this level. Can you create this kind of artificial intelligence? Have you come to another unknown civilized world?

When the palace was uncertain, the Zhu Gate of the palace slowly opened, and the guardian sent an invitation: "Please enter, the first guest of Weiyang Palace."

Are you still the first visitor here? Di Changli thought for a moment and stepped in with the mentality of peace.

Facing him was a crystal clear shadow wall about three meters high. Di Changli glanced at it casually and was immediately surprised that he could hardly close his mouth. This turned out to be a flawless natural glass.

In the Galactic Federation, natural glass is not a scarce mineral, nor is it a top luxury, but such a large piece is rare and its value is immeasurable. Even if he is rich enough to have the resources of the whole planet, he may not be willing to take it out and put it at the gate for decoration. What on earth is this place? What kind of person is the master? Di Changli's curiosity is getting stronger and stronger, and he can't wait to see the owner here immediately.
