Just as Xi Yujin was sighing, the situation of the pilot ship was getting worse and worse.
In the room that monitors the astronauts' body characteristics, countless instruments are changing data, like the twinkling stars in the night sky. The monitor broke out in a cold sweat and immediately reported to the decision-maker: "The accident rate has increased. The route we have taken is no longer continuous and there are obvious signs of breaking. The probability of deviation is rapidly rising..."
The decision maker said: "How long will it take to reach the center of the wormhole? At least drag the ship there! If you stay at the edge of the wormhole, you will be directly split apart!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the base began to flicker. The astronaut who was pulling the huge wheel suddenly collapsed due to exhaustion.
The monitor yelled: "Acute mental confusion at the left wing base! Requesting knowledge first aid!"
The decision-maker said calmly: "According to the regulations, we have requested support from other civilizations."
The base was filled with a burning atmosphere. Xi Yujin followed the staff's instructions and came to the cockpit. Ganuo was guarding outside the door. The spiritual resonance here was deafening, but Xi Yujin did not feel any discomfort. He came to an astronaut who had fainted and was about to implement a spiritual connection.
Suddenly, the surrounding astronauts fell like dominoes.
In the base's staff channel, the monitor was almost going crazy. He said in a trembling voice: "The worst situation has occurred. There is widespread acute mental confusion and the giant ship is underpowered. We will all get lost in the wormhole."
Decision Maker: "Call all the diplomats on duty! How many astronauts are confused?"
Monitor: "Right wing 12, left wing... 67."
The decision maker opened his mouth to speak, but was too bitter to make any sound.
On the planetary base, several diplomats from different civilizations were on duty to perform their duties. They were closest to the right wing, so they went to the right wing first to implement knowledge first aid.
"I've never encountered such a terrible yaw accident." A diplomat said anxiously, "There are so many confused astronauts, and we don't have enough manpower."
"There are 12 of them here. Who's on the left wing? The situation over there is even worse!" The diplomats from the Qing tribe sent out anxious compression signals.
Another diplomatic creature wearing a giant space suit said: "It is said to be the embers of the blue planet..."
Inside the cockpit of the left wing base.
Xi Yujin looked at the astronauts who had fallen to the ground. He was unsure whether this was normal, so he pretended to be calm. He also knew that time was running out, so he activated the four asteroids directly.
Acute mental confusion refers to the sudden increase in the mental confusion of the organism, so that it forgets some abstract concepts, such as infinity, courage, and the importance of one over the other. Since the knowledge system of the organism is closely related to abstract concepts, if one brick is missing, the whole pyramid will collapse, which may directly turn the organism into a fool.
The act of allowing creatures to learn these abstract concepts in a timely manner is called "knowledge first aid." In simple terms, it is to use mental power to tell stories directly to the other party's soul.
Among knowledge first aid, there is a type of story that is most effective, and that is children's fables. When creatures were young, they initially explored the truth of the world through these simple stories, such as creatures that lied would grow multiple noses, and creatures that endured hardships would have good results.
Xi Yujin's mental power was very obedient at this moment, and he successfully connected with the fainted astronaut. He seemed to see the knowledge base that the other party had learned, which was densely packed with incomprehensible texts, and a certain corner of the knowledge base was blank, which was where he needed to provide first aid.
Thanks to Xi Yujin's love for schizophrenia vests, his ability to make up stories on the spot is far superior to that of ordinary people. And he is also accustomed to using the asteroid code machine, so the efficiency of linking mental power is very high.
He simultaneously told the linked astronauts allegorical accounts of many concepts, and he heard his own voice echoing in the cabin, as if many of his own selves were echoing it.
"A child decided to share a cake with his friends. The child divided the blueberry cake into two halves, and suddenly thought of meeting new friends while eating the cake. What if the new friends have nothing to eat? So the child cut the remaining cake in half again, so that each friend has a quarter of the cake. The child didn't know how many new friends he would meet, so he cut the quarter of the cake in half again, so that each person could get an eighth of the cake. After cutting it three times, each person only had 1/64 of the cake, which was only the size of a fingernail. Could it be that it could not be cut any further? But what if there were new friends?
So the child took a smaller and sharper knife and successfully divided the remaining cake into two halves... and so on, half and half again. No matter how he divided it, the remaining cake, even if it was as small as the size of a fingernail, could still be divided into two halves. The cake crumbs that could not be divided were called infinitesimals.
The opposite of infinitesimal is infinity."
Although Xi Yujin thought he took some time to tell the story, to the outside world, Xi Yujin just paused in front of the astronauts for a while before walking to the next one. The four asteroids around him also continued to deliver fairy tales, and the signs of awakening slowly spread out with Xi Yujin as the center.
After just a few seconds, the astronaut regained consciousness, still looking a little confused. It seemed as if it had just woken up, and in its dream, it heard a soft and dreamy story. The only human walking on the scene was very calm, which made the creature feel at ease. It saw the human from the blue planet walking step by step along the stairs to the center of the control desk, and the spiritual power that soothed the soul swept over the unfortunate astronaut, and rescued the sinking creatures bit by bit.
When the embers reached the center, the gentle white light from above shone down like a star, and all things came back to life.
Xi Yujin stayed a little longer as the astronaut in the middle because the story was more tricky.
A few minutes later, he looked back at the awakened astronauts and felt that he had completed the mission well without revealing any flaws. The astronauts kept standing up, their movements still a little staggering. They all stared at him blankly, and no creature made a sound for a while. Being stared at by such a real gaze, although he knew that he could not see because of the mask, Xi Yujin still smiled politely.
After a while, the door of the cockpit opened. Several diplomats in space suits rushed in: "We are here to provide support--"
The remaining words were strangled in his throat.
The diplomats from other civilizations looked at the astronauts moving freely in the room and immediately suspected that they had taken the wrong path. But this was indeed the left wing. Their eyes gradually swept across the whole room and landed on Xi Yujin, who was in the center. Some truth exploded in their heads.
“Could it be…”
"This is impossible!"
"But it's impossible. Now we have seen it with our own eyes. It really happened, just like 1+1 really equals 2——"
The creatures that came to support were communicating in a confusing language. Xi Yujin couldn't quite understand what they were saying, but the creatures knew exactly what they were shocked about, so they were communicating smoothly. The decision-makers in the rear hurried over, first wondering why the supporters didn't move, then seeing the ready-made cab, they were so shocked that they forgot the language.
The monitor's incredulous voice sounded in the communicator:
"Confirmed! The 67 astronauts in the left cockpit are no longer in danger! Blue Star Embers did it all by himself!"
The creatures in the cab started to shout as if they had clicked the play button. Xi Yujin was still in a daze, and the excited shouts of the creatures around him lifted him up like waves.
"Too powerful! Is this the strength of Blue Star?"
"I did hear a very gentle voice when I was unconscious. It turned out to be Mr. Ember..."
"Blue Star! Blue Star!"
The whole audience cheered for Xi Yujin's pioneering work.
Xi Yujin thought urgently. He judged that his storytelling ability might not be particularly outstanding. Even if he was really good at writing inspirational stories, it was impossible for him to tell a story with twists and turns. Then what would affect the speed was the mental power... Recalling the first aid process just now, he gradually realized that the mental power could directly communicate with the soul, and of course it could also directly destroy the soul. So this is how the mental power is used, so the novelists with outstanding abilities are called walking weapons...
Then I should have the money to protect my life in the future?
Xi Yujin thought optimistically.
Now he had to deal with the enthusiastic inquiries of other creatures. Those creatures crowded around him, shouting one after another. Xi Yujin thought that if he hadn't had a space suit, he would probably be overwhelmed by these aliens again.
"Mr. Ember! Your tone of voice when you tell your story is so gentle, it feels like I'm back in the water where I was born, rocking gently in the waves..." An astronaut confessed affectionately, "Does your story have a name?"
Xi Yujin still smiled politely and said, "It doesn't have a name, but it can be considered a collection called... "One Thousand and One Nights of the Universe"? "
The astronauts around him all hoped that he would compile today's story into a book.
The astronaut at the center, who was also the most unconscious, rushed over but was blocked by other astronauts. He asked excitedly, "I have never heard a story that suits my taste so well! The whole world is dark! The whole world has let me down! And I want to save the whole world! That's how it feels! How did you do it!"
Xi Yujin recognized the astronaut and felt a headache. Because the astronaut in the center lacked the concept called "middle school second year". On Earth, it is a kind of self-centered thinking that is common among second-year middle school students.
Xi Yujin could only make up a plot for it in a second-year novel about a magical girl transforming and fighting evil, but he didn't expect it to remember it after waking up.
"I didn't expect that someone as serious as you could come up with such a story! I'm really looking forward to your next book!" The astronaut praised him highly. But this aroused Xi Yujin's vigilance. Was this story too radical for Yujin's style? He didn't want Yujin to change too much. If he kept creating contrasts, the outside world would have a weak impression of Yujin.
If this story had to be attributed to someone else, who would be the most suitable?
Xi Yujin thought about it and felt that Xun Mingzhong's style was not right, and the others didn't seem to be novelists who could write in this style, so he decided to write a new one on the spot.
"That's a story that our Blue Star's freelance novelists usually write." Xi Yujin quickly thought of a name for the new vest, "That person is called... Fei Niao!"
The way these astronauts swim around in the base looks like a school of fish or flying birds.
"Oh, so it's the novelist Fei Niao..." The astronaut's tone revealed admiration, as if he knew Fei Niao very well, "I will do my best to support the novelist from Blue Star!"
It was not paying attention, and Xi Yujin continued to be overwhelmed by the excitement of other creatures. Xi Yujin felt someone pulling him, and he followed that direction obediently, because he knew that at this time, Ganuo would always take him away easily.
"Alright! Stop disturbing Mr. Ember. We need to get back to work!"
the decision maker shouted.
The astronauts remembered their duties, returned to the control platform, and continued to pull the huge wheel. Xi Yujin finally walked to the open space and watched how the creatures worked together to overcome the difficulties. What happened next was no longer something he could decide.
The monitor continued to report the data:
"The probability of deviation is 45%!"
"The probability of deviation is 56%!"
"The probability of deviation is 77%!"
"Reached the center of the wormhole! Deviation probability 99%! Start locking mode! All personnel fixed!"
The emotions of all creatures were aroused by the announcements. They were tightly restrained by the seat belts. In fact, if an accident really happened, the seat belts could not prevent anything. They were just making every possible preparation. All creatures in the passenger area held the handles tightly. Some regretted that all their cargo would be wasted this time, some remembered that their friends were still in the previous galaxy, and some even started writing suicide notes that no creature would see.
"Confirmed deviation..."
Perhaps the most unexpected accident finally happened. The monitor felt relieved when he said this, "We have done our best to reach the center of the wormhole. Next, it depends on where time will take us."
The decision maker said dryly: "Thank you all for your hard work, let's start the braking process..."
The air was filled with a heavy atmosphere. The astronauts no longer needed to use their mental strength. They sat down in groups of three or four, waiting for the final judgment of probability. The diplomats were silent in thought. Xi Yujin looked at everything and recalled the knowledge he had read in the virtual library.
In the basic understanding of the universe, time is unidirectional. So time is compared to the wind that never returns, and the space where living things live is a desert that is constantly expanding. However, this desert is not a whole, but a huge monster composed of small pieces of sand. Between the sand and the sand, their contact surface generates original wormholes due to strong forces. When the sand begins to move, the original wormhole is naturally disconnected, and a new wormhole will only be generated when the sand contacts another sand.
So how does the sand move? Just like real sand dunes, some of the sand is almost motionless, while some moves very fast.
In reality, when the wind blows across the desert, crescent sand dunes are formed. If we make a preliminary judgment based on common sense in physics, the sand dunes should move in the windward direction, because the greater the wind speed, the smaller the pressure. But this is not the case in reality. The sand dunes move in the direction of the wind. The small gravel at the foot of the windward slope of the sand dune is blown up by the wind, step by step to the top of the sand dune, and then rolls down along the leeward slope. Just as the sand dunes move with the wind, space changes along the direction of the arrow of time, so there are flames that extinguish after releasing heat, and organisms grow bigger and older. Layers of gravel are lifted up by the wind, and the original innermost gravel becomes the outermost layer of the new dune. The many sand dunes in this cosmic desert are constantly changing.
Now the pilot ship was on the top layer of small gravels blown away by the wind. They had passed the top of the sand dune and were rolling down quickly. A creature on a stable galaxy glanced into outer space, and in the blink of an eye, the pilot ship had crossed tens of thousands of galaxies.
All living things felt an extremely terrifying sense of vacuum, and recalled everything that happened in their lives in a cursory manner.
The space gradually changed from colorful to calm black. Xi Yujin blinked three times, and the entire pilot ship barely braked at the roar of the explosion, and his ears continued to ring.
It was a long time before all the passengers on the ship woke up.
Xi Yujin looked around and saw that the entire pilot ship was in ruins. Originally it was like a mooncake with a bite taken out of it, but now only half of its mass remained. The lost mass became fuel for the brakes. When the core of the planet completely cooled, the ship also met its end.
There was a rustling sound of electricity coming from the driving base.
Then a voice came to the communicators of each space suit, and the decision makers shouted excitedly:
"We! Successfully sailed away!!"
The entire base erupted in earth-shaking cheers.
No matter what kind of creatures or civilizations they were, they all hugged each other excitedly. The heads of the Qing tribe twisted together like snakes, and were kissed hard by the giant creatures next to them. The staff in space suits spun in the air like a school of fish, dancing in real space with their hands and feet. In the distant passenger area, countless creatures on the same spaceship cried with joy, breaking all grudges and crying bitterly.
Amid the thunderous celebration, Xi Yujin looked in the direction he had come from. He knew that he had just passed through hundreds of thousands of star systems and had left the Pangshi star system far behind.
...It turns out that this is the voyage of no return. He can never go back.
He was a little dazed when he saw Ganuo beside him. They were wearing space suits, and they could only see each other's eyes through the small masks. The moment they looked at each other, Xi Yujin felt warm in his heart, and he reached out and held Ganuo's hand, enjoying a moment of tranquility in the joy of the audience.
"Okay, everyone, the celebration is over." The decision-maker's voice was still full of joy, and he pretended to be calm and said, "This is just a small scene. Our pilot ship has encountered several deviation accidents. As its astronauts, you must maintain its style!"
There was much booing from the astronauts.
"Observer, where are we?" The decision-maker's voice became smaller and smaller, and he seemed to be talking about technical matters. "We have arrived at a new place and have to redesign the route. I hope the occupancy rate on the new route can be higher. Should we decorate the planet..."
The technicians quickly confirmed their current coordinates. This process was quite quick because the base had already received the signal from the nearest civilization.
The pilot ship sent a signal, indicating that it had deviated from its course and requested to stop at the civilization's territory. The civilization agreed and sent their latest updated star map, allowing the pilot ship to find its destination more quickly.
"As expected of them, I have never seen such an accurate star map... Damn, there are too many giant pilot ships docked here. It turns out that the higher the level of technology, the harder it is to do business..."
The decision maker forgot to turn off the microphone, and his mumbling reached Xi Yujin's ears.
A huge star map filled with dots was displayed above the base. The dots of different colors represented different important buildings. Planetary ships such as the Pilot Ship were green dots that formed a long river at the edge of the star map. The dots of various colors in the middle of the star map were crowded together like popcorn in a machine, showing the prosperity of this civilization.
"Announce it to the passengers. They are also waiting impatiently."
As decision-makers issued instructions, communication channels connecting all giant ships were opened, and broadcasts in different languages announced that they had arrived at the next stop.
"Passengers—"
An astronaut opened his arms under the star map and spoke in a high-spirited voice.
"——Welcome to the place where the Omnics are imprisoned!"
"Deep Space Prison!"
