Life in space is usually boring and time-consuming.

However, since the destination of the spaceship is clear, people are constantly counting down to October 27, 3020, so the day is not difficult to endure.

Instead, everyone hates that time is moving too fast and the days are getting shorter.

Previously, the escape group decided to sprint ahead of time, eyeing the day when the sunspots exploded. At that time, the escape group had a desperate attitude of dying if they failed.

Now Chen Feng has forced the escape time to be pushed back by one month, and it has been stuck to October 27, which has completely changed the mentality of the ordinary people in the escape group, making people a little worried.

September 21, 3020.

The spaceship is gradually approaching the end of human footprints.

Chen Feng stood in the command cabin, looking through the transparent ceiling at the distant starry sky.

He stared for a long time, but gained nothing.

It stands to reason that the distance to the so-called barrier is close enough, and the naked eye should be able to see something.

But in the void universe, it seems that there is nothing.

He really wanted to find someone to consult and say something, but unfortunately Tang Tianxin, Ou Qinglan and other people on his side were not around, and everyone was conducting experiments in the laboratory in the middle of the spaceship.

Asking the fugitives would easily expose his ignorance and shake his dignity, so Chen Feng had no one to ask.

Then Chen Feng turned around and asked the logistics department to call up various parameters, trying to analyze the differences from a data perspective.

He could see a little clue.

There is countless background radiation coming from far away in the universe and reaching the solar system at all times.

The essence of cosmic background radiation is microwave radiation, which comes from the violent activities of stars and even the universe itself.

Microwave radiation carries a lot of information.

Early humans can gradually glimpse the tip of the iceberg of the nature of the universe by analyzing microwave radiation.

Normally, the changes in cosmic background radiation should be within a very small range, very close to the blackbody radiation of 2.725k on the absolute temperature scale.

But this data underwent a slight mutation five hundred years ago and weakened a little.

At first, people thought this meant that the energy of the universe was weakening and had just reached a critical point at a certain time.

It was not until the year 2501 when the 327th unmanned research spacecraft sent to the outer solar system disappeared without a trace, and after more than a decade of spacecraft that were sent out without exception disappeared when leaving the edge of the solar system's gravitational field, that scientists finally figured out what was going on.

The universe had not changed.

It was the solar system that had changed.

The solar system was covered by a thin membrane that was barely perceptible but objectively existed, so the cosmic background radiation received by the entire solar system was slightly weakened.

After many tests of launching unmanned spacecraft and spaceships in different directions, scientists finally calculated the shape and size of the barrier.

Like a giant sugar-coated pill, the solar system is the bitter active part of the pill.

"Send a neutron fission missile over and let me see what happens."

Chen Feng ordered.

Three hours later.

The multi-data modeling telescope established a three-dimensional model.

Chen Feng could see the scene when the neutron fission missile hit the barrier.

There was no explosion as he expected.

The missile first sailed quietly in space, and then disappeared from the head.

This disappearance occurred suddenly and without warning.

It was like a cross-sectional scan, and the other end of the scan was invisible.

Immediately afterwards, some data changes appeared outside the invisible barrier.

After data simulation, a mist-like object was formed and quickly dissipated.

The technician pointed at the spreading mist and said, "Just like our countless previous attempts, the neutron fission bomb was silently decomposed into elementary particles, which then continued to diffuse in the universe until the concentration dropped to an unmeasurable level."

Chen Feng tried to flip the screen ninety degrees, turning it into a simulated perspective parallel to the barrier.

He pointed at the screen and asked, "This side shows the matter generated by the decomposition of the neutron missile, but this side is empty. Does this mean that this barrier is one-way and matter can only be decomposed and sent out, but not sent in?"

The technician nodded, "Yes, so our solar system has been turned into an isolated island in the universe by this barrier in a sense."

Chen Feng said to himself, "This thing is undoubtedly unnatural and is a means for the invaders to block us."

"Of course, this is the consensus of all scientists."

"That's it for now. We'll gradually get closer, but remember not to make direct contact. We'll strengthen the monitoring of various data, prepare for the solar sunspot explosion six days later, and try to collect more information. Our ultimate goal is to understand the mechanism of this barrier decomposing matter. By the way, what are the elementary particles generated by the final decomposition?"

Several technicians shook their heads.

"We don't know. We can only be sure that its level is more than two levels lower than quarks, which is completely beyond our technological level."

"Then let's do our best and leave it to fate."

Chen Feng left the command module and went to the medical module.

Just now, his personal communication system received a message from Lin Bu, who was still "sleeping".

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Chen Feng found a random stool in the medical cabin and sat down with his legs crossed.

Lin Bu has been in this state for some time.

As a person with the richest and most abundant emotions in this era, Chen Feng finally adjusted his mentality after experiencing the initial sadness and discomfort, and was very relaxed.

The reason why Lin Bu was still able to maintain consciousness was found.

His cells are very different from those of ordinary people. They have very strong vitality, and each cell has a strong ability to replicate itself.

This guy is a walking cancer complex.

In the 21st century, ordinary people will die from cancer in a certain organ, but he has cancer all over, and has become another life.

After the function of his neck was replaced by life-sustaining fluid and nutrient ducts, his brain can survive just like a normal person.

Chen Feng is very special, and Linbu is not simple either.

But Linbu does not represent the next stage of human evolution.

The reason he has such an ability is because his genes have undergone serious mutations.

This mutation has caused Linbu's DNA to form a complete species isolation from ordinary people, and there is no possibility of any successful reproduction.

In addition, Tang Tianxin's emotional recovery originated from Chen Feng making her pregnant, and Lin Bu's emotions have also recovered now, probably because only a head is left.

In the first few days when his emotions began to recover, this situation caused great torture to Lin Bu, and almost made him collapse on the spot.

It was not until the cloning and reconstruction plan led by Scott was initially successful that he slowly calmed down.

Scott intercepted a section of muscle cells from Lin Bu's neck, performed reverse gene expression, and finally formed a new directed culture embryo.

In another glass jar in the corner of the medical cabin, a headless embryo was being formed.

"All I have left is a head."

Lin Bu said.

Chen Feng waved his hand and chewed another fish skin peanut. "I know. You repeated this sentence no less than a hundred times when you were dying half a month ago. I don't mean to look down on you. I believe that no one in human history can remain calm when facing this situation and suddenly recovering emotions. You have done very well."

Lin Bu nodded, "Then I have to thank Dr. Scott for giving me hope."

"You became like this to cover our retreat. We supported each other."

Lin Bu said again, "Unfortunately, there is no time. I can't wait for my body to grow up."

Chen Feng fell silent.

The headless body must grow to at least the age of twelve before it can bear Lin Bu's head.

Even if various means have been used to accelerate its growth process, Scott initially estimated that it will take at least three years. It is indeed impossible to wait for that day.

"It's okay. When I come back next time, you will be full of energy again."

"But as you said, I won't recognize you by then, right? What a pity."

"What does it matter? Just get to know each other again."

"How do you know I will still exist?"

"I know it. What do you care? What are you talking about?"

"My fault. I was not such a sentimental person before."
