The Name of the Rose [Interstellar]

Chapter 9, Breaking the Mystery (1)

The senior officers on the "Zeus" all went to the "Geneva" where the space federal government is located, to discuss the evacuation plan for the entire population, and there was a short-term vacuum in the management of the ship.This is also the reason why the Doomsday organization chose to seize the ship on this day. The time, place and people are harmonious, and everything is suitable.

Young Major Chestov is the Zeus' star officer for the week.Long-distance communication was disrupted, and he could not get in touch with the chief 20 kilometers away.With his rank, declaring the entire ship to be on the highest alert is an act of ultra vires.

To announce, or not to announce?

Major Chestov hesitated.

Suddenly a voice broke into his earphones: "Major, I'm Xue Yuan."

"Zeus" has an electromagnetic shielding shell, and the ship's radio is still available.It was easy for Qi Lian to crack the encrypted communication channel.

Major Chestov was taken aback.Xue Yuan was his alumni when he was studying in the military academy, and he was also from the same township. The two had a very good personal relationship, but they didn't expect to hear each other's voice at this time.

"Are you on the 'Zeus'?" Major Chestov looked left and right on more than a dozen monitor screens, and then turned into anger: "Bastard! You cracked our encrypted channel again?"

"We'll talk about this kind of thing later!" Xue Yuan interrupted him, "I have a tactic. Turn off the pressurization system of 'Zeus' and open all the movable decks."

"You want this place to become a vacuum?" Major Shestov shook his head, "Then we'll all die. Although we don't know the exact number of intruders, there are definitely more staff on board than the intruders. This is entirely The practice of killing one hundred enemies and self-defeating eight thousand."

"We don't stay on the ship. Ask all the staff to put on spacesuits and evacuate immediately. The central control room is an independent airtight cabin. After the ship loses pressure, the intruders will definitely gather there. Can you use semaphore Signal the frigates? Tell them to get their weapons ready."

"You mean...?" Major Chestov suddenly understood, "Understood, I'll tell everyone to evacuate immediately."

The smooth mirror-like outer bulkhead of the Zeus turned into a translucent display screen, displaying several dot matrixes.This is the universal semaphore of the space age, used during radio silence.

Xue Yuan and Qi Lian quietly sneaked into the air pressure control cabin.

The central control room has been occupied by intruders, and the exhaust valves can only be opened one by one manually.

There are two dynamic teams patrolling back and forth in front of the air pressure control cabin.Xue Yuan observed for a while, and immediately determined that they were not the staff of the "Zeus", but intruders who sneaked in in disguise.The reason was that although the two groups of people were constantly moving, they were extremely careful to avoid the monitoring of the electronic eyes, and turned a deaf ear to the "Evacuate now" broadcast.The staff obviously don't.

Xue Yuan chose a blind spot as the ambush location.He had no weapons on his body, so he could only fight with bare hands.He thought about it, and decided to let Qi Lian attack one group first, and then he took advantage of the opportunity to subdue the other group.

It's not that he wants to hide behind Qi Lian, but that the odds of winning a sneak attack are relatively high.The risk factor of the person who makes the shot later is much higher, because the opponent is already prepared.

Xue Yuan bent one arm into an "L" shape and swung it quickly.This means in combat gestures: "Up!"

Following his instruction, Qi Lian stepped out silently.For a moment, Xue Yuan had an illusion, as if releasing a well-tamed little cheetah.

The first group of people turned their backs to Qi Lian and walked forward.Xue Yuan briefly shifted his gaze to the second group of people who were walking towards him, silently calculating the timing of his attack.Hearing a few screams suddenly, Xue Yuan hurriedly looked away, only to see the first group of people falling down like dominoes, he didn't even see clearly what Qi Lian was doing.

The second group of people coming towards them quickly counterattacked in panic, raised their laser guns and shot at Qi Lian.Qi Lian nimbly rolled to the side, the laser beam rubbed against his arm, burning a deep hole in the bulkhead.Supported by his back, Qi Lian exerted strength from his waist and abdomen, jumped up into the air, and turned around and kicked like lightning.Since the gravity is only 0.8G, the hang time is longer than normal, and it looks like he didn't touch the ground at all.

This series of movements was so fast that even Xue Yuan, who claimed to have practiced "Walking Horses and Observing Monuments", felt dazzled.

The rabbit was up and down, and the ground was lying on the ground in a blink of an eye.Those people didn't seem to have any skin injuries, but in fact, the joints of their limbs were all out of position with great precision, and they couldn't move at all.

The battle ended right after it started, and Xue Yuan didn't even have time to get into a fighting stance.

... Madan!At least give me some time to pose! !

He immediately decided not to have any violent | physical conflict with Qi Lian, absolutely not.

After cleaning up the miscellaneous soldiers A, B, and C outside, Qi Lian broke open the metal door, and the two entered the air pressure control cabin.

The exhaust valves cannot be opened all at once, otherwise the instantaneous loss of pressure may lead to the disintegration of the hull. It is necessary to calculate the safety threshold of the hull pressure and the fastest exhaust air speed.This was an extremely tedious job, but with Qi Lian, a humanoid computer, it became a piece of cake.

Not long after, the interior cabin of the "Zeus" was completely open, facing the dark space.The red light came on, and the electronic system issued a loss of pressure alarm.

The leaked air formed a strong air current, like standing on the top of a howling mountain.With the help of the wind, Xue Yuan and Qi Lian "flyed" out of the cabin, and were firmly caught by the "Lover" which rotated synchronously with the hull.

The members of the invading Doomsday Organization quickly retreated to the central control room.Four partition walls rose from below the floor, sealing the central control room airtight.The independent oxygen generation system started to work, continuously delivering air to the airtight chamber.

This set of operating procedures is specially used to deal with the emergency situation of depressurization in the cabin, and the doomsday organization is well aware of it.

There was only one thing they neglected, and that was the fatal blow.

1.5 kilometers away, six frigates observed the semaphore played by the "Zeus" and fired several bombs at the "Zeus".

These explosive|bombs are small in size.The first bomb exploded on the surface of the hull near the central control room, piercing the bulkhead.Immediately afterwards, several other bombs also detonated one after another.Their destructive power is extremely small, and they will not cause any serious damage to the "Zeus" that is difficult to repair.

After all the explosions were completed, the "Zeus" seemed to have regained its calm.However, the real killing is just beginning now—infrasound waves below 10 Hz are already spreading.

Most of the places inside the hull have become the same vacuum as the outside world, and no sound waves are transmitted.

But in the airtight cabin where the central control room is located, there is still air as the medium.

By the time the people inside realized what was going on and tried to start the pump, it was too late.

Andy felt a strange heat flow in his body.Like everyone in this cabin, his internal organs were all shattered in resonance.

As he fell, he thought of his sister Anna, and the Last Supper that he had not had with her.

Despite such a commotion, the "Argo" manned probe still set off on time as originally planned.

When Anna sat in her seat, she felt a sudden palpitation, as if she felt some kind of induction.

This experience has occurred once before.When he was in high school, his younger brother Andy was doing random chemical experiments at school. As a result, he inhaled poisonous gas and was rushed to the hospital, almost losing his life.Before the teacher informed Anna, she began to feel uneasy, as if her brother's call for help had been transmitted to her mind.At that moment, she deeply felt that she and her brother were indeed relatives bound by blood.

But the incident did not bring her closer to her brother.After the younger brother recovered, the two returned to their previous state, as if this episode never existed.

What's the matter now?Could something happen to Andy?

Anna stroked her chest and looked back at the fleet.

I must be worrying too much. Andy is not on duty today. He should stay at home and play with his computer programs as usual. There will be no danger.

"Miss Anna, please fasten your seat belt, we are about to start." A geologist in the same cabin kindly reminded.

Anna nodded, fastened her seat belt, and put a small box under the seat in order.In addition to her luggage, there are a few things belonging to Qi Lian, which are kept by her.

Among them is a bottle of ByKilian's perfume "Sweet Redemption". When she had a brief relationship with Xue Yuan before, she secretly hoped that he would give her this.Not for anything else, just for this touching name.At that time, she thought that as a psychiatrist, she could unravel his mysterious knots and become his savior.

——It would be great if he could never leave her again.

Recalling all the things back then, Anna lowered her head and smiled wryly.Women, more or less, have a little Scheherazade complex, hoping to save a bad king and love him sweetly.

Unexpectedly, the world went round and round, and the bottle of perfume finally came into her hands, but it was a gift from him to someone else.

What will happen to the world beyond the "wall"?Will he and she have a new start?

The "Argo" probe started slowly and headed towards the invisible wall.Under the bombardment of cosmic ray particles, the artificial magnetic field light curtain in front of the wall showed a strange color, like a nightmare song sung by a siren.

After the infrasound attenuated, the military|police entered the "Zeus" which had no signs of life.

The unrest was quelled.Communications restored, power supply field restored.

Outside the Zeus, the "Lover" dragged the "Arctic Fox" that had lost power and floated quietly, waiting for the supply ship to deliver fuel.

A black body quickly approached this side, it was Rosso's "Greek Sunshine".

"Are you all right?" Rosso asked.

"You didn't throw away the fuel tank?" Xue Yuan glanced at him.

"Ah," Rosso sounded a little embarrassed, "I have only been a pilot for a short time, and my reaction ability is poor. Last time, it was because of this that I got involved. I didn't expect that this time..."

Xue Yuan interrupted unexpectedly: "What time is it?"

"..." Luo Suo didn't answer.

"What's wrong?" Xue Yuan watched the people in the cockpit from a distance, "Is this question too unexpected, and you didn't record the answer in advance?"

While speaking, he made a gesture to Qi Lian with his right hand hidden behind his back. The armor plates under the sides of the "Lover" suddenly opened, and the eight mechanical claws with anchor chains were ejected with lightning speed, firmly grasping "Greek Shuori".

Xue Yuan approached the black body: "Where is Luo Suo? Let him talk to me."

More than 400 million light-years away, the "Rosetta" light-speed spacecraft stopped its crazy acceleration. The central computer of the "Zeus" turned off its curvature engine startup program, and the wake of the nuclear fusion engine turned 180 degrees, relying on reverse propulsion to generate negative acceleration.

The deceleration process is very slow, the overload is not too big, Joey feels a lot easier.To be on the safe side, he adjusted his course again.Even if the speed is maintained, the spacecraft will pass by the outer periphery of the sun and will not crash into the core again.

The situation began to turn in a favorable direction, but he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, the particle pistol in his hand was still firmly locked on the person opposite.The opponent was very cooperative, as if he had given up all hope and refused to resist.

At this time, the communicator on the other party suddenly rang.The sharp "didi" sound echoed in the huge space, which sounded particularly ominous.

"Answer." Joey said, "Turn on the loudspeaker and let me hear the call."

The other side shrugged and complied.

"Qiangwei, I messed up." The person on the other end of the communicator said in an awkward tone, "Your brother wants to talk to you."

"Oh?" Luo Suo, known as "Rose", raised his eyebrows, "Is he beside you?"

"Yes, right outside the cockpit of 'Greek Sun'. Want to take over the channel?"

"No need." Luo Suo's lips curled up slightly, but his tone turned cold, "Please tell him: I have nothing to say to him."

After speaking, he cut off the line.

The title "brother" aroused another little soul in him.Its name is Misha, and it wants to talk to Xue Yuan in ecstasy, and listen to his brother's voice again.

But he pushed that personality back into the deep sea of ​​consciousness.At this time, "Misha" does not need to appear.

When he was young, the god in his heart was his elder brother Xue Yuan.

——My brother is better than me in everything, as long as I follow my brother.

——Without my brother, I am nothing.

——Brother is gone, don't want me anymore.what to do?what do I do?I am really scared.

——Don't be afraid, there is another "I" who will protect me and never leave me.

From then on, a phantom personality lived in him called "Smerdyakov".

"Smerdyakov" hated his father, because his father only favored his elder brother; he hated Xue Yuan even more, because without this person, his father would have liked Misha.

The first act of revenge was to tear the roses in the garden in the middle of the night, because Xue Yuan liked these flowers the most.But the personality of "Misha" didn't know about it, and thought that Xue Yuan did it, so he justly refused to complain to his mother, and as a result, both brothers were punished.

After that, "Smerdyakov" hid himself again, waiting for the right moment.

Fourteen years later, he met Xue Yuan again, but the other party didn't even recognize him.

When you left home, you promised me that you would come to pick me up.In these 14 years, I have been thinking about your promise all the time, looking forward to your coming, like waiting for the salvation promised by the gods.

But it turns out that you simply forgot about me.

How could this be?

How could this be! !

At that moment, "Smerdyakov" revived.Abandoned his faith, embraced hatred, and bore the fate of killing his father and deceiving his brother.

He joined the group of doomists.

He is not very interested in destroying human beings, but he must destroy the man he calls his brother.

As for the way of destruction, they must collapse themselves in a spiritual crisis just like their father did back then.

Lock Xue Yuan's IP, intercept all data packets sent by his computer; bribe Xue Yuan's adjutant, sneak into Xue Yuan's room, grasp his itinerary, and monitor his every move...

There is a voyeuristic pleasure in doing so.Later, it gradually became unclear whether it was out of revenge or to satisfy the almost crazy possessive desire in my heart.

He took the code name "Rose Knight" for himself.

Because roses and roses are originally such similar flowers.

"He hung up." The driver of Greece Shuori shook his head helplessly at Xue Yuan.His figure is very close to that of Luo Suo. When Luo Suo goes out secretly during working hours, in order not to arouse suspicion, he asks him to wear a red wig to pretend to be himself, and uses Xue Yuan's face blindness to cover for Luo Suo.Unexpectedly, after walking too much at night, I finally ran into a ghost, and this time the other party saw through it.

Xue Yuan didn't expect Luosuo to be so resolute, and suddenly became irritable: "Call him again! No matter what he is doing now, I..."

Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, and the "Argo" probe set off.

The position of "Lover" is not too far from the invisible wall, and the long blue ion tail flame at the rear of the thruster of "Argo" can be seen.It has passed through the curtain of artificial light and is about to touch the invisible wall.

Xue Yuan was shocked.If Joey's conjecture is correct and the invisible wall is related to the dimension strike, then only the speed of light can escape.It is necessary to let the expedition team know this.

There is no time.He left the "Sunshine of Greece" to the military|police who had just arrived from the chaos, and urged Qi Lian to chase after the "Argo".

The "Argonaut" is only one step away from the invisible wall.This is the first time humans have been so close to it.It is formless and infinitely vast, and only gravitational wave data shows its existence.This is something above human cognition, with a mysterious smile, looking down at the chaotic and ignorant human beings.Compared with the intelligent civilization that created it, the earth civilization is just a primitive tribe of slash-and-burn farming.

After the "Lover" followed the "Argo", they entered the effective distance for communication between the two.

Suddenly, there was a commotion on the comms channel.Only to hear many people shouting loudly at the same time: "Sun, sun!"

Behind the fleet, a thrilling scene appeared.

The four giant planets in the outer solar system—Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune, all moved to the other side of the sun at this time, exposing the red star, which had expanded more than 1000 million times in volume, to humans.It is suddenly bright and dark, like the flashing lights on the stage in pursuit of visual effects, and like a dying heart beating desperately.This is the nuclear fusion of helium in the core of the sun.The ejected outer layer is gravitationally formed into a brilliant nebula-like halo around it, like a garland for the dying.

Even at a distance of more than 670 billion kilometers, such high-frequency flickering cannot be seen directly by the naked eye.Xue Yuan had to put down the goggles in the oxygen mask, and turned his back to avoid the light.The intensity of cosmic rays skyrocketed, and the Geiger counters on all the gauges scrambled to issue "strong radiation alerts."

People panicked and hid in the nearby radiation shelter, "Lovers" raised his arms, opened the fiber shield, and surrounded Xue Yuan inside.

After the strobe subsided, people were surprised to find that the huge red star had disappeared.

At the center of the solar system there remains only one compact, incandescent body about the size of Earth.After a while, the incandescent light gradually dimmed and extinguished, finally forming a cold and silent black dwarf.

The sun is dead.

The author has something to say:

☆, puzzle solving

In fact, the sun died more than 60 hours ago, but the light is only now bringing the image to people's eyes.

All fell silent.This "silence" is not auditory, but psychological.After the destruction of the earth, the death of the sun once again made mankind feel the heart-wrenching despair: this star system is no longer home.

In addition to pain, there are palpitations.

According to calculations, the sun should become a red giant after 50 billion years.The civilization of modern Homo sapiens can last for about 200 million years, and the sun is eternal for us.

But this happened in front of human eyes.It's as if someone pressed the fast-forward button and shortened the process of hundreds of millions of years to the blink of an eye.

Before human beings left the earth, the TV station held a talk show of science officers.Some viewers asked: "Didn't astrophysicists say that the sun will become a red giant after 50 billion years? Why did it explode in less than 20 years?"

The answer given by the science officer at the time was impressive.He took out a light bulb and turned it on, and said: "The service life of this light bulb is, for example, 50 years. Suppose there is a microorganism that can only live for 30 seconds near this light. It turns out that the light will still be on for 50 years—for them, this time span is equivalent to 50 billion human years."

The science officer turned the adjustment knob, and the incandescent body in the bulb heated up rapidly, and soon exploded with a "bang".

The science officer asked the audience in the audience: "Do you think that in this situation, the kind of microorganisms can be predicted and understood? - Regarding the universe, the only thing we can be sure of is that we can't be sure of anything."

Now, facing the dead sun and the empty universe, human beings are once again deeply confused.Survival is too small, so small that there is not enough time to gain insight into the truth of this world.

Where is the way back, where is the future?

On the "St. Peter", Pope Benedict XIX crossed his chest and said something in Latin: "Dominedirigenos! (Lord, guide us!)"

Because it was closer to the sun, Joey witnessed the extinction of the red giant star ten seconds earlier than the fleet.He was distracted for a moment by this startling contingency.

Rosso took the opportunity to press a button quietly.The ground where he was standing suddenly sank, creating a hole that allowed him to reach the emergency escape capsule below.The space capsule separated from the "Rosetta" immediately, relying on inertia to maintain high speed, and flew away from the fleet.

Joey didn't go after him, because the other party's behavior was tantamount to suicide.With almost no resistance in a vacuum, the capsule will keep flying out of the solar system from the other side at this speed, never stopping.But the oxygen in the cabin is limited and can only last for a few days.

Rosso knew this too.From the beginning of "Operation Nest Overthrow", he had already made up his mind: if the operation to hit the sun fails, he will call off the curtain with dignity in this way.

This is the end he prepared for himself, a solemn space funeral.

Before that, though, there is one more thing to do.

Before leaving the fleet, he had installed a remote-controllable small nuclear bomb on the "Greek Shuori".He only ordered the person pretending to be him to wait for an opportunity to approach Xue Yuan, but he didn't tell that person that his real purpose was to make "Greek Shuo Ri" explode near Xue Yuan.

The detonation signal was sent from the remote control device on his wrist, and was transmitted to the "Sunshine of Greece" more than 450 million kilometers away at the speed of light.

Rosso counted the seconds silently.

Brother, your No.20 sixth birthday has not yet arrived, so you are still 25 years old.

Longevity is a shame, and Emperor Reinhard's early death was actually a blessing from God.

You are so beautiful, why not be at this best age——

Die.

15 seconds later, the signal arrived.

Luo Suo raised his hand and stroked his red hair.

As the young Emperor Reinhard approaches the end of his life, he recalls the red-haired best friend of his boyhood.Such pure and bright happiness is a scenery that will never reappear in the corridor of life.

Do you, who dyed your hair red, also miss the long gone childhood in your heart?

The Greek sun is endless.

Rosso whispered the last sentence: "Да-здравствует-император. (Long live my emperor)"

450 million kilometers away, a bright ball of light suddenly rose in the universe, as if a small sun had appeared.In the high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees, the "Greek Sun" was instantly gasified.With it as the center, huge heat radiated rapidly to the surroundings, spreading to a radius of twenty kilometers within one minute, and several shuttles hovering within this range were melted before they even had time to escape.

The "Lover" was located a little farther away, with all four engines running at full speed, rushing out of the range of the nuclear explosion.But the invisible wall is right in front of you, and there is no buffer space to slow down.

Seeing that he was about to hit the "wall", at the last moment, Xue Yuan pressed the communicator on his wrist and left a message to Joey: "My room, table, wall, Misha—"

He only had time to say so few messy words. The "Lover" first touched the invisible wall, as if being swallowed by the air, it disappeared without a trace in an instant.Immediately afterwards, within a second, Xue Yuan also disappeared in the same way.Only 1 seconds had passed since the Argonaut probe entered the "Wall".

A few days later, Joey, who had returned to the fleet, came to Xue Yuan's room again.

It took some effort to move the desk away, revealing the smooth wall behind it.Caressing with hands, I can't feel any abnormality, but it seems that there is a breeze blowing over the skin.

Joey groped along the base of the wall with his fingers and touched a round bump.Press hard, only to hear a soft "creak", the wall opens like a cabinet door, and a square hole appears.Listening carefully, there is a ventilation duct in the hole, and the wind is low and humming.

After a moment of hesitation, Joey poked his head in.His eyes had just adjusted to the darkness in the cave, but unexpectedly he saw a bony human arm.

Startled, Joey took a jerk back, but then realized it was a living arm because it moved.

A pale face emerged from the darkness.It was a blond boy who appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a frail body, blocking the glare of the light with his arms.

"...Ivan?" The boy hesitated, his voice was weak and timid, "Is that you? Can I come out?"

"..." Joey was so surprised that he didn't know how to answer.

When there was no response, the boy asked again in Russian, poking his head out cautiously, trying to look outside the cave.He suddenly found a stranger standing in front of him, and immediately wanted to shrink back like a frightened little animal.

With quick hands and quick eyes, Joey grabbed the opponent.He didn't even dare to use force, for fear that the slender arm that looked like a bone would break brittlely between his fingers.

"Don't be afraid," he tried his best to soften his tone so as not to scare the other party, "Ivan called me here, and I will not hurt you. What's your name?"

"Mi...Misha." The young man replied shyly.

The boy named Misha was wrapped in a blanket, curled up in a chair, and sipped hot milk.He seemed to have not eaten anything overheated for a long time, holding the cup with both hands as if cherishing it, feeling the temperature of the milk.

From the fragmented conversation, Joey learned little by little what happened that year.

Six years ago, before the fleet set sail, cities around the world fell into unprecedented chaos.

The 20-year-old Xue Yuan was ordered to serve at the Beijing boarding point.He thought about his long-lost brother Xue Yu, and wanted to go to Moscow to find relatives.But his duty does not allow him to leave without permission: in the face of such a global catastrophe, every place is a front line, and there is no extra manpower to fill the vacancies of others.

As a dispatcher, Chi Caifan helped him.Taking advantage of the shift system and the blind spot of jet lag, she arranged for him to hide on the "Beijing-Moscow" shuttle every night, and fly back to be on duty in the morning.The speed of the shuttle is very fast, and it only takes 1 hours to go back and forth over 4 kilometers. If Xue Yuan is smart enough, he will not be discovered at all.

So Xue Yuan lived a life of working during the day and looking for people at night.Needless to say, I can barely take a nap for two or three hours during the flight every day.

More tormenting than toil is despair.He ran everywhere where his younger brother might be, but all failed.

By accident, he accidentally found a 16-year-old orphan who had the same name as his younger brother: he was also of mixed race, with the same Chinese name of Xue Yu and Russian name of Misha.

This is the Misha that Joey found now.

However, Xue Yuan did not take the boy away.

The space federal government strictly stipulates that each officer boarding a ship is only allowed to bring one immediate family member.Although this regulation is unreasonable, it is also helpless.

After much consideration, Xue Yuan finally gave up on the orphan Misha and continued to look for his younger brother.

Until the day of boarding the ship came, there was still no sign of my brother.Not only that, but the final registration deadline for family members has also passed.People all over the planet are waiting to set sail, and it is impossible to postpone it for one or two people.

Finally, after a frantic and futile search all night in Moscow, Xue Yuan gave up hope in frustration.One second before leaving, he suddenly thought of the orphan boy also named Misha.

Orphan Misha doesn't know exactly what kind of psychological process Xue Yuan went through at that moment.

Maybe it was to make up for the lack of not being able to find his brother, or maybe it was to make up for the guilt of being helpless before, or maybe it was purely out of compassion.

In short, the decision he made at that moment completely changed the fate of the orphan Misha: he would take the child away, no matter what the cost.

However, it is easy to take Misha back to Beijing by shuttle, but it is difficult to take him on board the ship.If it was so easy to get through, everyone would bring their seven aunts and eight aunts.

Xue Yuan came up with a strange trick.

He was in charge of transporting the disk arrays. The size of these things was similar to a medium-sized safe, and in terms of its volume, it could completely hide a small child.

He forged a disk array.

It looks the same as an ordinary array on the outside, but it is actually empty inside.Although the orphan Misha is 16 years old, due to malnutrition, his body is like that of a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.

After arranging everything, Xue Yuan mixed this counterfeit product into thousands of disk arrays, hiding leaves in the forest.

With the help of Chi Caifan again, Xue Yuan, who was on duty as the inspector for the day, personally signed the release of these "forests".Thus, the forged "leaf" was transported into the data room of the main ship in such a grand manner.

The move took huge risks.Once discovered, both Xue Yuan and Misha will be disqualified from boarding the ship, which is tantamount to being sentenced to death.

But the god of luck favored him, and he succeeded.

Later, looking for an opportunity, Xue Yuan released Misha and hid him in his room.

But the problem still exists: the dormitories of junior officers are inspected irregularly and are not safe.

Xue Yuan once again came up with a strange trick: he broke through the bulkhead of the room, allowing Misha to settle inside the wall.

Inside the bulkhead is a mezzanine for the ventilation system, which circulates fresh oxygen 24 hours a day.There is plenty of oxygen inside and the space is relatively wide.The hole is camouflaged and blocked with a table.The table is fixed on the ground, and the possibility of being moved is extremely small.Misha was safe inside—as long as there was no power.

So when the fleet's power supply field was interrupted before, Xue Yuan tried so anxiously to restore the power, he was afraid that Misha would suffocate.

In addition, Xue Yuan also stole a sufficient amount of compressed food.When Misha was brought aboard, they were used to make up for the weight difference; now they are Misha's grain.

He knew very well that Misha's hideout would not last a year or a half, but a full six years.Only when the statute of limitations is established can the sun be seen again—although this "sun" is no longer the real sun, but the artificial sun lamp of the fleet.

In order to confirm Misha's situation, Xue Yuan agreed with him on a secret sign: whenever Xue Yuan was alone in the room, he would drip rose essential oil into the incense lamp.He loved the scent of roses, everyone knew that, and no one was surprised that his room always smelled good.

The fragrance volatilized by the steam will be sucked into the ventilation system by the air conditioner, and Misha can smell it no matter where he is.

As soon as he smelled it, he climbed to the entrance behind the desk, knocked on the bulkhead three times, and told Xue Yuan that "everything is fine".If you need something, just tap more, which means "I have something to tell you".

Conversely, if the essential oil that Xue Yuan lit was not rose, it meant "If there is a situation, don't make a sound".

After saying this, Joey recalled: when he went to Xue Yuan to inquire about insomnia treatment, Xue Yuan lit sandalwood in his room.Although he felt a little strange at the time, he didn't think deeply about the mystery.

The subsequent drama about compressed food was also written and acted by the fox himself.Xue Yuan knew very well that sooner or later, the serious Joey would find out that he stole the compressed food.Rather than concealing it, it is better to follow Joey's thinking and give an answer to dispel the other party's doubts.The more Joey believes in the "truth" he has discovered, the safer the secret that Xue Yuan really wants to protect will be.

Rather than saying that Xue Yuan deceived Joey, it is better to say that Joey himself deceived himself: he wanted an answer so much that once he found a reasonable explanation, he expected it to be the case.Xue Yuan just saw through this point and took advantage of it.

Seeing Joey's thoughtful expression, Misha moved his body uneasily, but hesitated to speak.Counting his age, he is already 22 years old, but he is still as thin as a child.

"What do you want to say?" Joey imagined the scene when Xue Yuan saw the child, and suddenly understood the fox's mood at that time.Sometimes, weakness is also a kind of strength.Because of his weakness, this child is unbearable to let down.

"Don't be afraid, I will take over you now. If you have any questions, just ask." He said with a pleasant face.

"Ivan...is he alright?" Misha's eyes showed concern, as if he was asking about the whereabouts of his relatives.

Joey looked gloomy, and shook his head: "Sorry. I don't know how he is doing now, and I don't know if he can come back again. But don't worry, the time limit has expired."
