"You said... is it possible for them to find us?" Xian Qianhua asked.

This question was already asked by Xian Qianhua for the third time since Yan Sichen woke up.

She didn't eat or drink, so she stayed by the window for three days and three nights.

After the sun disappeared from view, the whole world fell into darkness.

"Yes." Different from the previous two answers, Yan Sichen chose to deceive Xian Qianhua this time, and he slowly began to understand the meaning of a white lie.

"You lied to me..." Xian Qianhua was not stupid. Although she was hungry and almost exhausted, she was still awake.

In these three days, she did a lot of things.

Record every minute and every second after the sun "disappears", and then send all these important data back to the earth... which may not be able to receive their signals.

Xian Qianhua learned the art of scientific observation from her when she and Yao Yao slept together.

It's very simple, but requires a lot of patience.

The observation data may not change at all for hours or even days...but if you relax your vigilance, the most critical jump may be ignored by you.

Some people may say, can't these things be left to machines?

Xian Qianhua also asked Yao Yao the same question.

Yao Yao's answer is.

"Listening to the sounds of the universe...don't you think it is a very romantic job?"

Xian Qianhua didn't understand before, it was because she didn't like everything in the space station... The space here is very limited. When the initial novelty disappeared, all that was left were restrictions and constraints like shackles.

No sea...not even a sound...

But now, Xian Qianhua has enough time to listen.

There are many kinds of sounds in the universe, some have gone through a long time, and some have just appeared.

She first had to learn how to find the useful human voices in the noise...

In the past, Yao Yao had told Xian Qianhua the aftertaste of the sound of the Big Bang. The "big bang" was much gentler and deeper than Xian Qianhua had imagined... It was like a gust of wind blowing from deep, deep.

, although you don’t know where these winds blow, but it tells you that this is what the world breathes.

The sound made by the Big Bang gave Xian Qianhua the most profound feeling... It gave Xian Qianhua a sense of intimacy with the cold universe for the first time.

In the past, when she was fishing at the beach and looking at the stars, she always felt so far away, so far away that it was unimaginable and difficult to understand.

But now, she realizes that she exists and is surrounded by this vast universe.

Although she was far away from her hometown now, and even if she transformed into light, she would still have to walk a long way to get home... But she was no longer afraid.

She wanted to enjoy this moment quietly and talk to the great universe as a mortal.

…

February 7th.

Xinghan International Aeronautics and Space Administration China Headquarters.

"Isn't it? It's seaweed again?" Chu Xiaoming, who came to have breakfast excitedly early in the morning, immediately turned bitter when he saw the green mess on the plate.

The aunt who was serving food in the cafeteria tapped her spoon and said, "Next one."

Chu Xiaoming had no choice but to take the plate and leave.

After finding a seat and sitting down, Chu Xiaoming let out a long sigh before eating.

Su Wanxia, ​​a good friend who was sitting across from her and was enjoying her meal, looked up and smiled and said, "What are you doing, sighing?"

Chu Xiaoming glanced at Su Wanxia, ​​then picked up the chopsticks and fiddled with the seaweed a few times. He looked at the sticky mass and said, "Look...does this look like undigested grass in the stomach of a cow?"

Su Wanxia laughed, "You're so funny. I've never seen the grass in a cow's stomach, so I'd better eat it quickly."

Chu Xiaoming shook his head, he couldn't eat it.

"I've lost my appetite. Please help me get rid of it."

"Hey? How can I not eat breakfast? I have to work all morning!" Su Wanxia's face straightened.

Chu Xiaoming closed his eyes, shook his head and said, "Since the Shanhai was destroyed, our data department has been doing nothing all day long. It doesn't hurt to eat less."

Su Wanxia was a little unhappy when she heard this. "What do you mean doing nothing? I heard the minister say that the mysterious signals captured a few days ago were most likely sent back by the survivors of the Shanhai! Are you just a little bit

Don’t you care?”

Chu Xiaoming opened his eyes and looked at the good brother in front of him who was usually very cheerful but was deadly serious when it came to work.

"Don't get excited, brother, ah, don't get excited, of course I care, and I also know very well how much I hope we can save them if they survive the Shanhai incident! But do you know that all signals are rootless?

Grass, we can’t see the beginning but the end, we don’t know where they are sending the signals back from, so how can we find them?”

Su Wanxia was suddenly speechless. He suddenly felt that the food in his mouth no longer tasted good.

Chu Xiaoming added, "Besides... you are from the technical department. You should know better than me how difficult space rescue is... This is not as simple as launching a rocket and sending a few people up... just in case...

"

"What are you two talking about?" While they were talking, a beautiful woman came over.

Su Wanxia looked up and immediately smiled again, "Sister Yinuo, good morning."

"Well, good morning." Shen Yinuo, a perfect combination of beauty and intelligence in the aerospace engine R&D department.

With a height of 1.78 meters and golden proportions, her long legs cannot be hidden even in work clothes.

Chu Xiaoming once regarded Shen Yinuo as his lifelong goal, but facts have proved that the gap is too large and cannot be made up by hard work.

so now

...Chu Xiaoming became Shen Yinuo's personal assistant.

Basically, Chu Xiaoming is responsible for all Shen Yinuo's travel planning, of course... only within the scope of assistant.

When Chu Xiaoming saw his goddess, he finally felt a lot better. He said, "I was talking about the mysterious signals I received a few days ago."

This matter is no longer a secret, even the aunt who cooks in the cafeteria knows about it.

But when all eyes were focused on the data department, the data department said that they had no way to deal with these mysterious signals... which meant that we couldn't understand or analyze them.

As a result, the image of the data department in everyone's minds has plummeted.

Although the general director of the Data Department and the leadership team of the Space Center later gave great support, the staff of the Data Department also worked overtime, and also called in many linguists, historians and other experts to provide support, but

The result is still...nothing.

Gradually, everyone no longer expects the data department to create any miracles.

Shen Yinuo sat down and said, "What? Have you received a new mysterious signal?"

"Yes, and this time it is much stronger than the previous times. The signal content also contains a lot of information, but it is the same as before... it is messy and disorderly... I have no idea what it wants to convey." Chu Xiaoming's description is very appropriate. .

Such are the mysterious signals that can stump a team of experts.

They are chaotic, disordered, and cannot be tracked and positioned in reverse.

Even part of the signal is converted into audio and sounds like the noise of a chair being dragged on the floor...or nails scraping against a blackboard...

Su Wanxia is not a professional. Although he has always been serious and responsible in his work attitude, he does not know how to speak empty and useless official words.

After hearing this, Shen Yinuo nodded thoughtfully and said, "Oh... then, can you give me a copy?"

Chu Xiaoming was a little surprised, "Well... this is against the rules."

Shen Yinuo raised his eyebrows, "I'm asking you if it's okay, not if it's in line with the rules."

Together with Goddess Fan, Chu Xiaoming knew what to do. He hesitated and then said, "Okay, but it will take some time, as you know... No one can get the original disk before the initial copy is shared."

Shen Yinuo nodded, "Well, okay, just tell me after you copy it. In addition...this is for you to eat." After the goddess finished speaking, she gave Chu Xiaoming all the seaweed on the plate, and then she took the empty The plate walked away gracefully.

Chu Xiaoming's eyelids twitched. It was already very difficult for him as a young man to be able to work in the data department obediently. Now let him eat a double seaweed breakfast?!

He looked at Su Wanxia.

His brother's name was more casual than his.

But thinking about who Su Wanxia's grandfather was... Chu Xiaoming felt that it was too casual to be his own old man.

"Uh... Well, Brother Wanxia, ​​I see that you have lost weight recently. You must not have eaten well, right? Here, I'll give it all to you! You're welcome!" With that, Chu Xiaoming was about to put the seaweed on Su Wanxia's plate.

However……

Su Wanxia easily stopped Chu Xiaoming's plastic brother behavior with chopsticks.

"Ahaha, brother Xiaoming, you must have some misunderstanding about fatness and thinness. I think... you are the one who really needs to replenish energy. Come on, open your mouth and feed you for me, brother."

As she spoke, Su Wanxia quickly picked up a piece of seaweed and went straight to Chu Xiaoming's mouth.

Fortunately, Chu Xiaoming reacted quickly enough. He immediately shut up, and at the same time quickly reversed the plate. First, he poured the remaining pile of seaweed on his own plate into Su Wanxia's plate. Then he exerted force with his wrists, using his chopsticks like swords. At an extremely cunning and weird angle, he snatched the seaweed that was about to be stuffed into Su Wanxia's mouth from Su Wanxia's chopsticks, and also dunked! He smashed the seaweed into the home area where Su Wanxia had breakfast!

When the dinner plate was lost, Su Wanxia looked shocked, while Chu Xiaoming's "evil face was revealed", and his proud face was horrifying.
