Earth Era

Chapter 234 Flash

Perhaps because of too much physical exertion, Wei Feng fell ill after solving the accident. Ye Luo's database stores a lot of medical knowledge and can provide Wei Feng with sufficient medical consultation, but the specific situation can only be determined by Wei Feng himself.

Hibernation will not allow the body to recover, but will worsen the condition. So it took Wei Feng six months to wake up this time. Work such as recuperating from illness, repairing the deterioration of physical functions caused by hibernation, exercising, and conducting large-scale inspections of the Xinghai spacecraft to eliminate potential dangers must be completed during this period.

Wei Feng no longer worried about the consumption of reserve materials caused by being awake for a long time. The reason is simple. Since it is no longer possible to return to the solar system, the materials originally reserved for the return flight are now available. These materials are consumed just now, and keeping them would be a waste anyway.

But after this accident, Wei Feng became much more taciturn. Wei Feng had gazed at the bright star in the distance countless times, and recalled the days he spent there countless times, but Wei Feng knew that he could never go back.

The fire was eliminated and fuel leakage in cabin B stopped, so subsequent repairs became less urgent. Although there is still a risk of secondary explosion of the standing fusion reactor, it has been almost completely damaged. Even if it explodes again, it is unlikely to have any impact. So Wei Feng put this matter aside for the time being. After more than a month, after his body had recovered a lot, he modified a repair instrument that could be remotely controlled to repair the damaged standing fusion device. The huge pressure inside the reactor was released. After eliminating the danger, Wei Feng slowly began to clean up the explosion debris, repair damaged parts, repair damage to the spacecraft armor, and other aftermath work.

During this period of time, Wei Feng carried out more than thirty extravehicular walking missions. He used the repair tools carried on the spacecraft to repair the damage to the spacecraft's armor. It then took more than a month to repair the ruins. It was completely cleaned out and equipped with a new standing fusion reactor. The operation of the Xinghai spacecraft returned to normal.

This is the risk of interstellar travel. Although this incident happened very suddenly, it was obviously a low-probability event. But overall, such a small probability event is almost inevitable. Just like a person randomly picking an integer from zero to ten thousand, the probability of him picking any number is only one in ten thousand, but picking a number is bound to happen.

Just like at this moment, among the tens of millions of parts on the Xinghai spacecraft, the probability of a serious accident for any one part is only one in ten million, but when it comes to the entire spacecraft. The probability of serious failure rises to 70% or even 80%.

After all, human energy is limited and it is impossible to take care of everything. Ye Luo's intelligence is also limited, and it cannot deal with situations that are too complex. So on a certain level, Wei Feng could only passively wait for the disaster to come, but could not predict it in advance. And here is the universe. If you encounter any accident here, you can only rely on yourself, so the risks involved are self-evident.

Although the accident was so serious that it even prevented the satellite from returning to the solar system. But Wei Feng actually felt a little lucky. After all... this disaster was not serious enough to directly destroy the entire spacecraft, nor did it put Wei Feng into an eternal sleep. Being able to repair it to this extent can be considered a blessing from God.

Time is still passing slowly. With only two months left in the scheduled six months of sobriety, Wei Feng began to repair the navigation instruments. After the navigation instruments were repaired. After re-positioning, Wei Feng discovered that in just four months, the Xinghai spacecraft had already deviated from its planned orbit by tens of meters. If it continued to sail on this orbit, even if the subsequent navigation orbit would no longer produce If there is an error, it will pass by the Nanmen II galaxy tens of billions of kilometers away.

This is the importance of high-precision navigators. The navigation accuracy requirements for interstellar navigation are tens of thousands of times that of interplanetary navigation. Without navigation instruments, it can be said that it is difficult to move in space.

Finished all this. It’s time to enter hibernation. Wei Feng entered the hibernation cabin again and fell into a deep sleep again. Time continues to pass. The Xinghai spacecraft is still continuing its journey, continuing to set off towards the distant star.

"I hope I won't be awakened in an emergency this time... I hope the Xinghai spacecraft can be stronger and can take me all the way to our neighbors..."

This was the last thought that flashed through Wei Feng's mind before he lost consciousness.

This is a one-way journey, only departure and no return. Wei Feng didn't know how many hardships were waiting for him ahead, nor what kind of situation he would face, but Wei Feng knew that he could only move forward, like a pawn crossing the river. Generally, you can never go back.

Time goes back and forth, the lights in the Xinghai spaceship go on and off, go off and on again, Wei Feng wakes up and falls asleep, sleeps and wakes up again, decades are a long time, but for Wei Feng, it is just It just means waking up a few times.

Fortunately, the Xinghai spacecraft did not have another serious accident like that one during this period of time.

The journey is peaceful. It is like a holy land isolated from the world. There is only Wei Feng in this world. The place where Wei Feng can step is the whole world.

But when I woke up this time, something broke the isolation between this place and the outside world.

"According to your instructions, Captain, I have been observing the solar system while you were sleeping. About three years ago, I observed some strange information from the solar system. I think you will probably feel this. Interested." Ye Luo said calmly.

"Solar system..." Wei Feng muttered this word silently. I don't know since when, although when Wei Feng thinks of the solar system, the first words that come to his mind are still words like "hometown", but deep down in his heart, the solar system has become a somewhat illusory world. Places are like those strange places left over from childhood, with only some fragmented impressions.

It has been 70 or 80 years since Wei Feng was disconnected from the solar system. During these 70 or 80 years, Wei Feng has not received any news from the solar system. Although Wei Feng has tried to send messages in the direction of the sun, But never received a reply. Seventy or eighty years have passed in a blink of an eye. Now, Wei Feng is nearly three light years away from the solar system. It has been three hundred years since Wei Feng left the solar system.

Ye Luo's words evoked some soft parts in Wei Feng's heart. Wei Feng asked: "Ye Luo, what kind of information did you observe?"

Ye Luo was silent for a moment, and then said: "This may not be good news for you. Three years ago, I observed a weak gamma ray flash from the direction of the solar system through the gamma ray survey telescope. I have confirmed that this time The gamma ray flash is not emitted from the sun, and the exact location of its occurrence cannot be determined, but it is probably midway between the orbits of Mars and Saturn. After observing the first flash, I observed the second one half a year ago Flash. So Captain, do you... know what this means?"

Wei Feng nodded gently.

"Yes, as you might think, this means an extremely high energy burst. Although this gamma ray flash is extremely weak when it reaches us, and it must rely on extremely high-precision instruments to observe it, But don’t forget that it is almost three light-years away from us. It can still be observed by us even at a distance of three light-years… So there is no need to say more about its power.”

A distance of three light-years... At this distance, even the most accurate optical telescope equipped on the Xinghai spacecraft can no longer separate the four planets of Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury from the background. , and can only be done through the solar occultation method - when the planet moves between the sun and the Xinghai spacecraft, the planet's covering will slightly reduce the brightness of the starlight. By measuring the slight decrease in the sun's luminosity, the existence of the planet can be deduced, and Some data about the planets were obtained. This observation method is called the occultation method to observe the planets, but even so, Ye Luo still observed those gamma ray flashes.

Ye Luo cannot see the huge planet, but Ye Luo can see gamma ray flashes. The contrast between the two has explained many things.

Wei Feng sighed softly, and then said: "If I am not wrong, we will observe more such flashes in the future, and the intensity of those flashes may be higher than the two you have observed. The secondary flashes... were bigger and brighter."

"I think the all-out war between the Inner Solar System Alliance and the Outer Solar System Alliance has begun. They have used strategic weapons that are so powerful that they can even be observed from here." Ye Luo said quietly, "It seems that, The situation...is really not optimistic."

Wei Feng was silent about this. Wei Feng came to the porthole again, looked at the star in the celestial sphere that was no longer bright and unusual, and thought of many things in his mind.

At this moment, Wei Feng seemed to see the bursts of exploding fire, and seemed to hear countless roars and cries coming from there. (To be continued ~^~)
