Food King [Interstellar]

Chapter 1 Surprise

Jiang Tang woke up from hibernation and found that other people were still sleeping. The entire cabin was as quiet as the space outside the cabin, and even the air was almost still.He climbed out of the dormant cabin and began to move his stiff body that had been lying there for a year. Although this kind of dormancy, which was close to a state of suspended animation, was not painful, it was still very uncomfortable every time he woke up. All the muscles and joints in his body needed to be moved. It is not easy to open.

Therefore, Jiang Tang's companions were far less diligent than him.Theoretically speaking, the less times you get up, the longer your lifespan, because metabolism is stopped during dormancy.His companions said that if he got up so diligently, he would surely die earlier than everyone else.Jiang Tang didn't care about dying early. People are mortal. They sailed in space without any safety guarantees. It's hard to say whether they can die.

He supported the dormant cabin and moved about for about 10 minutes, and then he gradually felt alive.He stretched out his hand and pressed the button on the side of the cabin, and the silver-white icy mechanical wall transformed into a beautiful picture of red flowers, willows and green, and running water. Every time he woke up, he used this picture to celebrate the arrival of spring on the earth. For 20 years, to him, it was just [-] long dreams.

Jiang Tang inspected the dormant cabins of several partners, each of them showed normal vital signs, and the temperature displayed in the dormant cabin was minus 196°C. They were all healthy and safe.Jiang Tang is an astronaut, and now he is on an interstellar journey with six colleagues from the Earth Space Agency.

A robot received the signal from him to get up, and opened the door from outside the cabin to enter.Jiang Tang looked at the half-human tall robot Mark, and reached out to touch its round and cold head: "Mark, hello!"

Mark made a mechanical voice: "Hello, Mr. Jiang! The robot Mark reports to you that Yinhe-235 is running normally. We have prepared the hot water you asked for, and the ingredients are also being thawed."

"Thank you, Mark!" Jiang Tang walked out, planning to take a hot bath first, and then reward himself with a delicious meal. After sleeping for a whole year, he always wanted a good meal.

The year he left the earth was 2569 AD. The earth's resources were exhausted and the environment was severely damaged, which has threatened the survival of human beings.Human scientists have overcome the speed problem of interstellar spaceflight, which can exceed the speed of light, and invented the jump engine, making interstellar voyage possible.Scientists from the Earth and Space Agency decided to send a scientific expedition team to the terrestrial planet Kepler-500b in Cygnus, which was discovered more than 452 years ago, to visit this cousin of the earth, which is 1400 light-years away from the earth, and to explore the possibility of human migration.

Jiang Tang and six other astronauts volunteered to go there. This is a trip with an uncertain future. It is not known whether they will be able to reach Kepler-452b smoothly. It is unknown if they cannot return, their task is to find the way for everyone.For them, this is a game of life and death, but it is also the hope of mankind.

After Jiang Tang took a shower, he went to the control room to look through the voyage log for the past year. The spacecraft was operating normally, but not long ago, in order to avoid the meteorite belt, the spacecraft adjusted its course, and it is currently trying to return to the original orbit. This is not a big deal. question.He was sure that the year's voyage information had been sent back to Earth, and then he cooked the 20-year-old beef in the microwave and made himself a western meal.Jiang Tang is a gourmet lover, and he prefers the Chinese cooking method of frying, frying and steaming. However, the spaceship has limited conditions and can only use microwave ovens to cook food, which is better than nothing.

Jiang Tang drank Bordeaux red wine, ate black pepper steak, and listened to Guzheng music "Mountains and Flowing Water". The combination of Chinese and Western styles made him feel very comfortable, even if he enjoyed it all by himself, it was inevitable that he would feel a little lonely.The beef has been frozen for 20 years, and it has already become zombie meat. The taste is naturally not as good as the fresh one. I wonder if there is still a chance to eat fresh beef.

As soon as he brought the red wine to his mouth, there was a sudden huge vibration in the spaceship. The glass wine glass hit his teeth and shattered. His whole body fell back, and all the good red wine spilled on him.The table was fixed and did not move, but the unfinished beef on the table flew up and landed on Jiang Tang, feeding it all to his clothes. He took out the wine glass in his hand, got up and stumbled towards the control room.

A mechanical female voice came from the cabin: "Warning! Warning! The spaceship was hit by a meteorite, causing 10% damage to the outer shell of the spaceship. Please repair it as soon as possible."

Robot Mark and his companions are busy in front of the console. "What happened? Did you enter the meteorite belt?" Jiang Tang propped his hands on the console, looking at the screen on the monitoring screen, my God, what is this?Countless dust, comets, meteorites and even asteroids are flying towards them at extreme speed.No, their spacecraft is also retreating. What happened?

Mark replied mechanically: "Mr. Jiang, just monitored the collapse of the center of a star very close to us. A new black hole is forming. We are in the gravitational range of the black hole and are now being attracted by the black hole."

Jiang Tang's face darkened, and he gave an order: "Move forward at full speed in the direction opposite to the gravitational force, and get out of the black hole as soon as possible." As soon as the words fell, the hull of the ship was hit hard by something again, and Jiang Tang was hit. Had to do somersault.

The cold female voice warned again: "Warning, warning, the damage to the spaceship has reached 20%, and the engine on the right side has failed, please repair it as soon as possible."

Jiang Tang's face turned pale, and the right side was the direction they were fleeing for their lives. If the engine broke down, they would surely die: "Mark, call someone to repair it!"

"Ramon and Alex are over," Mark said.

Jiang Tang struggled to get up, and quickly operated various keys on the console with both hands, but the acceleration could not be completed. On the big screen in front of the console, the spaceship retreated faster and faster, and the surrounding celestial bodies became denser and denser.Jiang Tang realized a problem, they could no longer escape the gravitational pull of the black hole, maybe they would be the first humans to travel through the wormhole, if there really was a wormhole.He turned on the communication device and sent the last message to the earth: On March 2589, 3 in the solar calendar, Yinhe-22 sailed No. 235 years, 20 light years away from the earth, a new black hole is forming, and we are Attracted by the huge gravity of the black hole, the engine on the right side of the spacecraft failed and could not escape the gravity of the black hole.The Galaxy-140 spaceship Jiang Tang sent you, Farewell, Earth!

As soon as the message was sent, a huge meteorite crushed ruthlessly towards the spaceship, and the spaceship was instantly torn apart. A piece of alloy material that fell off from the hull was like a sharp blade, and it was inserted straight into Jiang Tang's chest. The blood instantly disappeared in the dark. A flirtatious flower bloomed in the space, and before losing consciousness, Jiang Tang's last thought was: The ship is broken, and it is going through a ghostly wormhole!

There was a sharp and piercing beeping sound in his ears, and his eyelids seemed to be extremely heavy. Jiang Tang tried his best to open them, but he couldn't open them. In the end, someone lifted his eyelids and let in a strong light. eyeball.Jiang Tang finally couldn't stand it anymore, he turned his head away to avoid the strong light: "Get away!"

The other party let go of his hand and said: "The person has awakened, and his body is still very weak. He will be fine after resting for two days. The patient is very emotional. Don't stimulate him, but pay more attention to him." It was a man's voice.

Another man replied, "Thanks doctor, I'll take care of him."

Jiang Tang opened his eyes, and what he saw was a blinding white. Is this a hospital?saved?Jiang Tang felt ecstasy in his heart, and then heard a burst of beeping noises from above his head.A man leaned over and grabbed his arm: "Ping Yan, are you awake? You must stop doing stupid things, or I won't be able to explain to Mr. Ping."

Jiang Tang moved his eyes to the other side, and saw a very good-looking man. He had a deep profile, deep-set eye sockets, and a high nose bridge. He looked a bit like a Westerner, but his eyes and skin were characteristic of Asians, and he was of mixed race. "Where am I? Did you save me? Thank you." Jiang Tang's voice was hoarse as if his vocal cords had ruptured.

Hearing his words, the man seemed relieved, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, you're okay. Young man, you should be open about everything, there is nothing you can't get through. Baker's company is not as big as you think. It's scary, as long as you hide your identity, you'll be safe."

Listening to the other party's words, Jiang Tang felt a little inexplicable. Who is this person, what kind of shell company, what kind of hidden identity?Jiang Tang thought about it, but his whole body was weak and dizzy, and he couldn't get up at all. As soon as he moved, there was a sharp pain in his left wrist, and he cried out in pain.

The man supported his shoulder: "Don't move around, be careful to touch the wound, you are still transfusing blood."

Jiang Tang turned his head to look, and there was indeed a needle in the crook of his right arm, and the dark red blood was dripping drop by drop, quietly injecting into his body, he smiled weakly: "Thank you. Where am I? "

The man said: "On the Alpha, we are rushing to Sarn now, have you forgotten?"

Jiang Tang frowned and looked at the other party, a huge amount of information rushed into Jiang Tang's mind suddenly, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, he yelled "Ah!", and then passed out.

The medical equipment on the bedside suddenly made a noise, which frightened the man at a loss, so he quickly called the ship doctor over.When the ship doctor came, the equipment had recovered and Jiang Tang had passed out.The doctor examined him again, and said to the man who took care of Jiang Tang: "The patient's brain waves are abnormal, which should be caused by being too emotional. I said to appease his emotions and don't let him get too excited."

The man felt that he was a little wronged, he just said to go to Saen Star, he was so excited, can he blame himself?

Jiang Tang slept for a long time this time. He had a dream, and the images in his dream were very chaotic: the scene of spring with flowers and willows on the earth, the scene of saying goodbye to relatives and friends and stepping on the spaceship with his partners, seeing the appearance of the earth for the last time in space, Eating steak on the spaceship, countless meteorites and asteroids flew towards him, the spaceship was torn apart, a piece of metal shards flew towards him, a little boy was bullied by a group of beautiful children, a teenager hid in the corner of the room and counted Pocket money, the boy was cast contemptuously by a group of handsome mixed-race men and women, he was slapped hard by a man with a beard, and the boy cut his wrist with a knife... These are familiar or unfamiliar The picture kept flashing and repeating, and finally Jiang Tang kicked hard and sat up, his clothes were soaked in sweat, he gasped heavily, feeling at a loss as to where he was.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses.There was no one else in the room, only a warm yellow light remained, the blood transfusion needle in the right arm had been pulled out, and the gauze was still wrapped around the left wrist, and there was still some sharp pain.Jiang Tang raised his hand and touched his chest. It was smooth without any wounds. He lifted the quilt and got out of bed. The quilt was as thin as a feather, light and weightless, and the touch was very comfortable and soft. I don't know what material it was made of.

He found a door, pushed the door in, and it was a bathroom.As soon as Jiang Tang entered, he was completely absorbed by the mirror on the wall.In the mirror is a young and handsome face, and there is no sense of familiarity at all. Although this young man is pale, he can still be seen as a yellow man. His forehead is full, his nose is high, his eyes are not too big, and he has a lot of personality The inner eyes are a bit dull at the moment, the lips are a bit thin, and the lip color is particularly pale, which may be due to excessive blood loss.

Jiang Tang stretched out his hand to touch his face, and murmured to the mirror: "Is this a resurrection?" Jiang Tang is an astronaut in the high-tech era, but at this moment he has to believe in strange things, he himself is a living example of.The strange pictures that appeared in the dream should be the boy's original memory. He didn't know how he got into the boy's body. It should be that the boy committed suicide and resurrected himself. No matter what, he is alive now, with an unexpected The way.Maybe the black hole is really connected to a certain space-time, otherwise how could he appear here.

Jiang Tang is slowly merging the memory of the other party. The original owner of the body was a young man named Ping Yan. He tried hard to search the background of the current era, but there were very few, and he only vaguely knew that it was 2016 in the Milky Way calendar.Human technology has evolved to unimaginable heights. 98% of offspring rely on test-tube babies, because this can eliminate bad genes, repair sick genes, and modify imperfect genes when embryos are formed, which can realize human beauty, health and The ultimate pursuit of longevity.And Ping Yan is an outlier, he was conceived naturally by his mother, conceived in October, and has not undergone gene knockout and restoration surgery, so he is different.

Since he was a child, he was weak and sick, his IQ was mediocre, his appearance was not outstanding, and his height was a bit shorter than his peers. Such a Ping Yan has always been bullied since he was a child, with low self-esteem and withdrawn personality. Even his brothers and sisters don't like him, so naturally The favor of the elders.Since the gene has not been modified, his IQ is only 110, which is particularly stupid in the era when the IQ of test-tube babies generally exceeds 150, and his ability to accept is also very slow. He can't go to normal schools because he can't keep up with everyone's progress. Completed basic education at home.

Before going to college, Ping Yan was pushed to a turning point in his life. His family asked him to marry the arms dealer Adam Short. This was a political marriage. Boy, it is rumored that three boys have died under his tyranny.Ping Yan knew that he would only end up dead. He knelt down and swollen his knees, so his grandfather finally agreed to show him a bright way. He would become an apprentice at the largest Baker Foods Group Company in the empire. Being discovered is also a felony for life in exile.

Ping Yan has no choice but to go to Baker Company.Ping Yan, who is pessimistic by nature, still didn't think about it, and chose to commit suicide before the final bad luck came.Then Jiang Tang took over his body.Jiang Tang felt that the child's psychological quality was really poor, and he forced himself to death before reaching the last moment. How did he know that there would be no turning point? Look at himself, he is still like this, and he can still survive in this way. Life is full of surprises everywhere.
