Chapter 16 Leiqi "Brilliant Sun"
— Where should I start?The universe is too big.
Liu Qin ran over the handwriting written in pencil on the last page of the schedule notebook.This is an old-fashioned ordinary diary. The yellowed curled cover and the old-fashioned design look like things from the era before the Voyager set sail. If this is the case, it is probably older than the entire spaceship. It's all going to be big.After all, during the long drifting journey of the wandering era, human beings always hibernate in small nutrition cabins, and usually only a few sporadic volunteers are awakened in each period of time to be responsible for some unnecessary inspections, as a record of the existence of inorganic matter Ben continued to perform his duties faithfully and uninterruptedly, always keeping his sanity.
"With all due respect, Mr. Liu Qi, this is a paradox."
The mechanical sound suddenly rang in his ears, and the young designer in overalls was startled, and the notebook in his hand fell to the ground.
"MOSS!" He said half palpitating and half annoyed, "You almost scared me to death!"
The artificial intelligence indifferently synthesized a "haha" sound, and replied in the same flat tone as before: "According to your vital data and real-time physical signs, the possibility of you being scared to death by me is three points in 1000 million Seven, MOSS has reason to believe that a designer with good life data will not die because of this, although I do seem to have alarmed you."
Liu Qi shook his head, "Forget it," he said, and threw up the notebook in his hand again, and then caught it firmly, "How was my sleep period, is everything okay?"
"Everything is fine," the AI said calmly, "no news is not bad news."
"—but the good news is definitely not no news."
Hearing the answer, Liu Qi sighed helplessly, and continued the second half of the sentence.
He couldn't remember how many times he had been woken up for duty.Maybe the eighth time, or the No.12 time?After drifting into the universe, everyone's memory seems to have deteriorated.But to be honest, it's been a long time since he's spoken to a real human being, whether it's through face-to-face communication or letters, and MOSS isn't really real.
Everyone was very excited when they set off on the road back to their home planet.Civilization is a child with a deep, eternal longing to return home.Even though the history of the ancient earth era is tens of thousands of years ago for humans, they are still like gems for dragons, with a fatal attraction.
"MOSS, how far have we come?"
At this point in his thoughts, Liu Qi asked softly.
Artificial intelligence quickly gave the answer: 487 time units.
In the universe, it is difficult for you to use a certain unit of measurement to measure distance, you can only use time, especially when your spaceship loses its positioning system.
Only a few people on the 'Voyager' knew about this, because MOSS immediately forced 98% of the people into hibernation when they discovered that the system lost its positioning ability, leaving only him, Li Yiyi and the then captain Wang Lei. stay awake.Returning is not possible.The reason for setting sail is that the planet where humans live is no longer suitable for habitation, and returning to their home planet is their last chance for survival.It is also impossible to divert to find other ships.They made three curvature transitions on the way. When the positioning system failed, the curvature transition became a joke.
The long and hopeless waiting wears away time, they are young, but they will soon be old.
"Good morning."
The baritone voice broke the silence of the command hall, and the man in military uniform nodded to Liu Qi and MOSS.
"Good morning, Lieutenant General Wang Lei." MOSS replied sternly, "Theoretically speaking, it is now 22020:12 noon on December 31, 12, and it is not morning. Say good morning every time we meet' still applies."
The man smiled when he heard the words: "I'm still thinking about it, but I just fell asleep, how could I be promoted after waking up?" His eyes were bright and his voice was hearty, "I remember when I was sleeping last time, I was still a senior colonel, and I still think about it." This dream is a little too good."
He walked to Liu Qi's side and looked sideways at his face.
"What's the matter?" Liu Qi heard him ask, "Did you not rest yesterday? Why are you listless?"
"I think it's probably the boredom caused by worrying about the status quo." Moss said.
"MOSS, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!" Liu Qi said angrily, and he shot the voyage record in the direction of the artificial intelligence's projection, but the latter deftly avoided it.The platinum-haired young man shrugged his shoulders, and two chairs rose up in the command hall.
Wang Lei picked up the note and held it in his hand, his black eyes looked at Liu Qi gently and inquiringly.The engineer felt that the anxiety in his heart was miraculously calmed down. He muttered and sat on the chair, and moved his feet up in a demonstration, forming a cross-legged sitting posture:
"I just don't want to accept our backs," he complained, "There are five spaceships in total, why are we the unlucky ones?"
The communication system of the "Voyager" was faulty as was the positioning system, or at least, in Liu Qi's eyes, something was faulty.Because since the positioning system lost its function, the message sent by the "Voyager" to the other three spacecraft lost its echo like a stone sinking into the sea.He and Li Yiyi tried countless plans, but the success rate was zero. This undoubtedly added a negative bargaining chip to Liu Qi's mood, tormenting him all the time.
However, as the famous fairy tale of that wandering age goes: the universe is too big.Distance can cause humans to lose touch with each other, which is a good thing and a bad thing.
The other four spacecraft that set out with Voyager used orbits that were not far apart, but even that was beyond human horizons.Therefore, the people on Voyager never imagined that the first spacecraft would crash into a black hole shortly after completing the second transition.The second and third spaceships flew on the wrong route, and fell into a life-and-death struggle, and eventually both suffered losses. The fourth spaceship with the most complete facilities, named "Navigator", accidentally rushed into the sky due to the pilot's wrong operation. An asteroid belt, blasted forever into a firework by the swarming stream of meteorites.
These are all things that happened after the "Voyager" lost contact. In fact, all the fires of human civilization so far are only the things carried by the tiny spaceship "Voyager".For civilization, this means a lot, but the torchbearers of civilization are completely unaware of this, still walking against the wind in the dark mist.
"I remember that you once wrote a huge patch package." Wang Lei was patting Liu Qi's head with his hand, and the latter was lowering his head, burying his face in his hands in frustration, "I remember it was for positioning, right?" ? Have you used it?"
He looked at the artificial intelligence questioningly, and got a negative answer.
"No."
Liu Qi's voice came muffled from his hands.He straightened his upper body, wiped his face, his expression was still heavy and sluggish, "The indeterminate package is an improved version of the previous base's original setting, and it is not compatible with the current system. If it is operated rashly, it may cause irreversible impact on the spacecraft." , I'm afraid..." The spaceship was destroyed.
He didn't continue talking, but Wang Lei nodded knowingly.The artificial intelligence on the side cleared its throat thoughtfully.
"?" Liu Qi looked at him.
"The following remarks are beyond the scope of the butler AI's rights. If you want, you can interrupt me at any time," MOSS said, "All the data held by Liu Qi are stored in my database. Although I haven't run it, I have done it. According to calculations, based on the current state of MOSS, running the patch package on Voyager, the success rate of course correction is 43.87%. At the same time, according to my calculations, our voyage time is close to the original arrival time on Earth. If the dormancy time is extended indefinitely, MOSS may not be able to withstand the energy of the spacecraft. So MOSS suggests that you might as well give it a try.”
A brief silence.
Liu Qi never realized that the universe is so quiet and vast. The voice of MOSS seemed to be still echoing in the command hall, and he could also feel the breathing of Wang Lei on his left.However——he got up and walked to the command screen, where there was a projection of the spaceship's surroundings, with countless stars fixed on the pure black background—
Why is it that artificial intelligence will take the initiative to propose changes when human beings are timid.
"I support him."
Wang Lei's voice made Liu Qi turn his head.The eyes of the former reminded him of their experiences of talking about fantasy, design and future together on those silent voyages before.Soldiers don't know too much technology, and he exists more as a benchmark of belief.But Wang Lei is different from ordinary soldiers, Liu Qi can see the determination and enthusiasm in his eyes.He really likes these scientists.
He met Wang Lei's eyes.
"Actually, I've wanted to do this for a long time." Liu Qi said suddenly.
He backed up from the podium at an extremely fast speed, and stood in front of Wang Lei and MOSS.At the very first second, the boy Wang Lei was attracted by his temperament, but at this moment, it seems to have appeared again.
"Then try it?" Wang Lei asked back.
"Just try it."
Liu Qi raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and lightly bumped into Wang Lei's fist.Moss on the side also stretched out his hand.
Three arms, three points of support.
"What will happen to the spaceship if it fails this time?"
Liu Qi made the last correction to the patch package, and he seemed to turn to artificial intelligence unintentionally.
"It may be torn to pieces." MOSS replied, "For most people, they will die silently in their sleep; for me, all data will be erased; for you and Lieutenant General Wang Lei , may be thrown out of the spaceship and suffocate to death. Therefore, Mr. Liu Qi, if you go back on your word now, I can understand it."
Liu Qi rolled his eyes and turned to Wang Lei.
"Wang Lei," he said, "have you repented?"
Wang Lei shook his head, "Never."
"Ha," Liu Qi laughed flamboyantly, he nodded MOSS, "Did you hear that? If I say what I say, I won't either."
MOSS is waiting for an instruction, and civilization is waiting for a result.
Humans often say that everything has its own light cone.For the same thing, within the light cone is destiny, and outside the light cone is God.
When you gave that command, you changed the light cone of things.Even MOSS cannot speculate whether the outcome of a choice is good or bad unless that choice actually happened.
Liu Qizheng was standing in the empty command hall of the "Voyager", with Wang Lei's hand resting on his left shoulder, and an artificial intelligence projection standing on his right.
The vast sea of stars flitted around him.
He opened his mouth.
-
Despair is sinking.
Hope will rise.

Epilogue: The Brightest Moment
The original title of the New Year's greetings was "A Thousand Splendid Suns". When I read the original work, I preferred this translated name to the one translated by the publisher.But looking at the tag, everyone seemed to be getting better and better, and they all chose four words as the title. I simply followed the formation, and it looked good.
I still remember the scene when I went to watch The Wandering Earth on the afternoon of February 19, 2. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were many people in the cinema. I bought popcorn and Coke after a long absence, but later I didn’t eat any of them because I cried too much.After returning home that day, I wrote a film review, and started to produce food the next day. I shared articles with everyone in the Qi Lei Qi Group, and because of irreversible CP, I organized the Lei Qi Only Food Production Group.I still remember that the first person who responded to the call and helped me promote LOFTER was Stick. For this reason, I always called her "class representative" because she was always very active.
I once hoped that I could become the mainstay of Leiqi's tag.
I have experienced many things this year, three times, two times.I'm actually not a person who is good at steering, but sometimes when things happen, no matter how fragile I am, I have to bite the bullet.Over the past year, I have been doing things non-stop, getting hurt non-stop, welcoming some people in and sending them away.I watched the small window between me and Fang Zhang go from chatting for 7 hours a day to double deleting, and then blocking all contact information.
I lose something and I gain something.
Chenchen is now a very good friend of mine. I thought we were just acquaintances, but now our friendship has become strong enough to share views and comments.Lei Qi is really lucky to have her, this tag is not cool, I think at least half of it is due to her.
I held the hands of many people, and we supported each other and walked for nearly a year.By this time tomorrow, it will be 2020.
A new start.
I used "A Thousand Splendid Suns" as my ending work for Leiqi.From this moment on, Hibiscus Syrup will not have any updates about Leiqi.I marvel at the fact that the love for them sustains me for a year.It's just that the love will be exhausted one day, I didn't expect that I would still be struggling at that time, so I might as well leave the stage early and leave everything behind the scenes to your imagination.
In the past two days, I cleaned up the computer and found many unpublished Leiqi outlines.For this CP, I did have love once.
I ask Teacher Xue to put me in the back row, and I thank her for assigning me December 31st.
Thank you for your company and love over the past year, I wish you good health.
See you in the future.
