Chapter 111 When the stars of humanity shine, the "stars" become the "sun...
The days of floating in the Milky Way on a spaceship are very boring. Time and again, I have to devote my energy to experiments with endless expectations but they always fail. I try to find clues in the complex data. Every time I feel there is hope and try to develop in this direction, I reach a dead end after taking a few steps.
And there are thousands and millions of such dead ends.
This group of top talents sent out of the solar system was named "Stars".
When the "stars" shine, it is time for the human group to shine again.
The "stars" are almost driven crazy by the anxiety and pressure day after day, and their brilliance is dim.
They don't need to worry about clothing and food - the spacecraft is stockpiled with a large amount of resources and is equipped with a basic Earth ecosystem. There are vegetables, meat and water, so they don't have to worry about starving to death or dying of thirst.
But there are endless experiments, countless calculations that only become a pile of scrapped data, a future that cannot find a direction no matter how hard you try, and the vast universe outside the spacecraft. The spacecraft is automatically driving away from the solar system, and the solar system is getting smaller and smaller, until it becomes a tiny dot, submerged in the vast sea of stars.
There are stars above my head, stars under my feet, stars behind me, and stars in front of me.
The spacecraft is traveling across the sea of stars, carrying lonely and lost people. The solar system where they grew up and lived is no longer visible.
——I don’t know whether they abandoned the solar system or the solar system abandoned them.
It was during such days that Xu Zixiu was driven crazy. When she woke up again, her memory had been tampered with by her body's protection mechanism. Xu Zixiu forgot that the solar system was about to be destroyed and forgot about the "Star Project". She thought she was just entering the holographic game at home as usual. There was a bug in the game. As long as she achieved the ultimate goal - creating stars, she could pass the level and return to reality.
This is the opening scene of the movie, and the background story slowly unfolds as the plot of the movie progresses.
Xu Zixiu had been deceived by herself. She was hung up on false hope and moved forward with hope in her heart. After all, the game was designed by humans, so there must be a way to pass it.
Xu Zixiu was full of energy and enthusiasm and continued to devote himself to the boring experiment, not knowing how many times it would fail.
But she was glowing, moving forward with renewed hope.
Her mentality has infected many people.
Those people were curious, those people were exploring, those people got the answer from Xu Zixiu, those people regretted getting this answer, those people unanimously protected this answer and did not expose Xu Zixiu's fantasy.
Gradually, Xu Zixiu's actions invisibly instilled in everyone an idea - this is just a game, there is a bug in the game that trapped us here, as long as we find the right way, we can go home.
——Go home! Go home!! I want to go home!!!
False hope is more inspiring than endless despair, and the "stars" on the spacecraft have regained their full vitality as when they first boarded the spacecraft.
When the audience saw this scene in the cinema, they collectively gasped.
"Crazy! They're all crazy!"
Yes, if the "stars" were not crazy, how could they try to push away the thick darkness and look for the ray of hope in the boundless despair?
Normal people cannot become "stars", and the "stars" selected by the midbrain will eventually become abnormal.
Only a brilliant madman could delve into the same thing as a foolish wise man, constantly watching planets about to form in the tedious separation of matter, only to disintegrate at the most critical moment and return to dust. Then, with a calm face, eyes etched with pain, and a frantic heart, she said in a flat tone, "Save the failed data in the database."
There are countless failed data results like this in the database, which are their bloody failures and their sweat-drenched efforts.
Hard work does not necessarily lead to success, but the failures encountered on the way to success can help you avoid this path of failure next time.
"The Stars" eliminate countless paths leading to failure through repeated failures, and as they eliminate failed routes again and again, they get closer and closer to success.
Finally, the "stars" shine!
Planets, satellites, and small celestial bodies have all been successfully formed, but a central star is missing.
In addition, gravity, energy and a relatively safe interstellar environment are also required.
They wanted to create a new "solar system", but lacked the "sun" as the core.
The sun in the original solar system binds all planets, asteroids and other celestial bodies to revolve around it through its powerful gravity. At the same time, it provides energy through nuclear fusion to maintain the energy balance within the solar system. It is the basis for the existence and operation of the solar system.
What they lack is such a "sun".
Xu Zixiu discovered by chance that the "stars" from the "solar system" had been exposed to solar radiation for many years while living in the solar system, and their genetic sequence codes could be condensed and converted into materials for creating a new "sun".
Xu Zixiu and the "stars" other than her became two groups invisibly.
Surrounded by "stars", Xu Zixiu firmly believes that she is a player. As long as she can find a way to make the "stars" sacrifice themselves voluntarily, she can pass the level and go home.
These people are all NPCs in the game. When Xu Zixiu returns to reality and saves the game, he can see them anytime.
Go home, this is home!
Xu Zixiu was very happy.
Xu Zixiu must not know that in the eyes of the "stars", she was shrouded in deep sadness, but she was completely unaware of it, smiling on one face and crying on the other.
The "stars" allowed themselves to become crazy, and the sober crazy regained their sanity at the last moment. They looked at each other in a place where Xu Zixiu could not see, and made a tacit decision.
Someone is needed to create the "Sun", and Xu Zixiu, who is a "player", is the most suitable candidate.
At this moment, regardless of gender, identity, age, race, or country, everyone has only one thought in their mind:
For all mankind!
Just like when they were getting ready to leave the solar system on a spacecraft to "build stars", the top leaders of those countries saw them off.
If they were selfish, they would definitely board this spaceship which has sufficient supplies and can allow them to live farther than ten years.
They didn't.
What if? What if the few supplies they consumed hindered the life of the "Stars" and the "Stars" died before reaching the destination of hope?
They stay in the solar system, in the original home of mankind, waiting for the moment of annihilation and the moment of rebirth.
They sang in unison—
"—For all mankind!"
The "stars" left the Earth and the solar system. When they were finally connected to the solar system, they heard the children's clear hymns:
“I’m waiting
Waiting for the spring breeze to blow across the earth
Waiting for the summer flowers to bloom as brilliantly as yesterday
Autumn birds, please slow down your pace so that I can see the stars behind your wings.
Winter is coming, snowflakes are still flying
Traveler, come home, we are waiting for you to come home."
At this moment, the "stars" have a firm belief - go home! I want to go home! I will definitely go home!
"Qunxing" was never able to return home. "Qunxing" died for the sake of his family just before reaching home.
Xu Zixiu successfully created a new "solar system", which shrank into a small sphere and ran smoothly. Xu Zixiu sent prokaryotes to the newborn "Earth" to see them grow steadily. He used a time accelerator to adjust the time of "Earth". Eukaryotes appeared among the prokaryotes, and time continued to accelerate. Xu Zixiu sent multicellular organisms to "Earth", and life began to explode. The number of animal and plant species increased. Xu Zixiu deliberately eliminated some dangerous organisms and finally created a planetary environment suitable for survival.
Xu Zixiu began to insert human gene sequence code.
The people who were annihilated in the solar system closed their eyes and opened them again, and came to a strange environment. There was no technology tree, no city, no road, and everything was the most primitive flowers, plants, trees, insects, fish, birds and animals.
This is a bad situation for people who rely on convenient technology to live.
This is not a good situation for humans who realize that they can survive again.
Human hands are born to create.
On the central control screen, Xu Zixiu saw that in the infinitely magnified broadcast, "Earth" was like a toddler struggling to stand up.
"I've cleared the game! I can go home now!"
Xu Zixiu was overwhelmed by overwhelming sadness in his ecstasy.
It was at this moment that Xu Zixiu remembered everything.
I remembered the despair I felt when I learned that the solar system would be annihilated within ten years, the panic I felt when I was chosen as one of the "stars", the despair I felt day and night as the experiments failed time and time again, and the moment I personally helped the "stars" become the "sun"...
"There has never been any game. Everything is just my fantasy."
What's above the stars? Earth's children would say it's hope.
What is above the stars? The only "star" who survived would say despair, a despair that is heartbreaking and bone-wrenching.
Xu Zixiu created the "Solar System", but was told by the mid-brain that she could not enter the "Solar System" before finding a safe interstellar environment to enlarge and launch the "Solar System".
Xu Zixiu touched the "solar system" through the membrane. This is her home, where her family and friends are. Her home is in the palm of her hand. It is so close, but she can't go home.
In the huge spaceship, the "stars" have disappeared. She is the only one facing the boundless loneliness. She drags her feet in the spaceship cabin, and she can think of the "stars" in every place.
"Zixiu, I picked up some dust from a nebula I passed by today. Let's try to see what happens when it condenses."
"Xu Zixiu! I told you not to add too much salt if the food is bland. Sodium ions might also affect the data!"
"Sixiu, I discovered today that when I do this to the experimental chamber, the 'star' doesn't disintegrate as quickly."
"Xu Zixiu! I really can't stand it. I shouldn't have participated in the 'Star Project'. I want to die. I really want to die!"
"Xu Zixiu, you will come home."
"Xu Zixiu! Can you help me see the 'future'?"
What was Xu Zixiu thinking at the time? The "stars" volunteered to become the material of the "sun." Xu Zixiu probably thought, "When I clear the game and return to reality, I'll copy and save all your data, create a new model, and show you the "future" many, many times over."
But……
The genetic sequence code of "Stars" is not in the spacecraft's genetic database.
The "stars" became the "sun", and there would be countless people from the old solar system in the new "solar system", but there would no longer be "stars".
Except me.
But I can't go home either.
None of the "stars" can return home.
Xu Zixiu sat in the cold experimental equipment room and cried. His cries were suppressed and hopeless, and were absorbed by the sound-absorbing material in the cabin of the spacecraft. Only the dry and painful corners of his eyes made Xu Zixiu realize that he was crying.
As the camera continued to zoom out, Xu Zixiu's figure became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared from the camera.
The shot was dark, dark and silent.
Just as the audience looked at each other in confusion.
"Bang--"
After a sound similar to a gunshot, the film ends.
All that is left for the audience are endless questions.
"There must be a second season of 'Above the Stars'."
"Did Xu Zixiu commit suicide because he couldn't stand the loneliness?"
"How can people who have relied on technology for so long survive if they go back to primitive life?"
"Can the stars really never come back?"
"Has Xu Zixiu returned home?"
"As a science fiction fan, 'Above the Stars' is the best science fiction film I've seen this year!"
"Qiao Zhizheng is truly a treasured actress. She can act in commercial films, art films, suspense films, and science fiction films, and she does it so well, constantly bringing endless surprises to the audience."
"Pink Qiao sister, the bag has taste!"
"The special effects in the film are amazing! Which foreign special effects company did it?"
"It's not some foreign company. It's our own Feiyuan Technology."
"Feiyuan Technology! Awesome!"
"Feiyuan Technology has also partnered with 'Above the Stars' to launch 'Planet Development Chronicles'. In Feiyuan Technology's holographic gaming cabin, you can immersively develop a planet yourself."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Sometimes when I want to make a decision and the words are on the tip of my tongue, an inexplicable thought stops me and I don’t say them out loud. You could call it intuition, but it’s more of a self-doubt.
I doubt whether this world is real or fake. Maybe my life is a set program. So at some life nodes and some decisions with predetermined results, I have other ideas, but the program that frames me does not let me make other decisions.
