Chapter 188 Return
The researchers almost watched the brain-inspired detector enter the death dimension, and they felt extremely disturbed, as if they had thrown something they created into the mouth of the dark behemoth with their own hands.
And it swallowed it in one gulp without any hesitation.
The signal was cut off without accident.
They used to watch the vast universe through the camera of the brain-like detector on the big screen, looking at that direction in the process of progress.
In more intuitive terms, there are small black dots on the equator. They are the ink in the huge picture scroll of galaxies. This thing swallows the color of the original picture scroll. Anything stained with this drop of ink will disappear instantly. .
Researchers are often shocked by the twinkling stars. When the stars shine together, they form a sharp contrast with the empty and lonely space. They exude a psychedelic beauty, which is fatal to astronomy lovers. Appeal.
But at the same time, when anyone looks at the boundless universe, even through the camera method of signal transmission, he can feel a kind of fear.
Fears of bigness, because they correspond to the smallness of human beings.
More, it is the fear of the unknown.
When you know a burglar broke into your home in the middle of the night with a murder weapon in his hand, ready to take the refrigerator, TV, all valuables in your living room, and even the half-opened box of Fun and Brilliant Cookies , you may be a little scared, but not trembling.
But if an unknown creature makes a strange sound and howls in the living room, which looks like a beast or a ghost, it may find the smell of people and break in to eat you, or it may visit a If I escape after a while, I am afraid that everyone will be incontinent.
Even if you don't see it with your eyes, imagining the appearance of that monster is enough to make people frightened.
Someone once did a very interesting experiment. It was a small game-type facility. A glass water tank was wrapped in black cloth as No. 1, and another completely transparent one was No. 2.
The two were used by the experimenters to touch them in person, but it was obvious that when people put their hands into the first box, their faces were full of bitterness. When they encountered something slippery and wet, they wanted to jump up on the spot and flee with their arms out.
Jiang Cheng has never left the observation room during the daytime these days. Just waiting for a few days has made everyone panic. The key is that everyone does not know when the brain-like detector will return.
Maybe it's a long way off, maybe that date is just around the corner.
At night, there are scientific researchers on duty in the observation room in turn, and the same is true on the night of March 14th...
Because Jiang Cheng was busy preparing for the plasma cannon, he left work early when there was still no response to the communication on the 4th. He stayed in his dormitory all afternoon, and even continued to study after dinner.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the outside is very quiet, the river flows slowly, and only a few lights are on on the second floor of the observation room. It is impossible for the staff on duty to fall asleep. They have to keep an eye on the situation of the brain-like detector.
In front of the huge screen, the researcher sitting on a chair is a young man, holding a cup of coffee and a book in his hand.
People who really love learning will never stop pursuing knowledge throughout their lives. This may be the difference between researchers and ordinary people.
He took a sip of the bitter coffee lightly, and stroked his black-rimmed glasses.
"What are you looking at?" The colleague next to him just came back from the toilet,
"Oh... I read a short story by Ryunosuke Akutagawa."
"It's been a long night, it's only twelve o'clock, and I won't get off work until tomorrow morning."
"I don't think it's too long. There is no such quiet time during the day." The young man wearing black-rimmed glasses continued to read after saying something.
The observation room suddenly fell silent, only the occasional sound of picking up and putting down the cup, and the sound of flipping books.
Other than that, nothing else.
Another researcher stared at the big screen boredly, expecting a small red dot to appear in the darkness, which meant that the brain-like detector had successfully escaped the dimension of death.
But... But this scene seems to never happen, because the space is as silent as a pool of stagnant water, only endless voids, long and eternal existence.
Looking at it, he was a little sleepy and yawned.
Why, the sound of turning the book and the dark screen are so hypnotizing, his eyelids are really fighting, and after closing his eyes for a few seconds... he suddenly opened them again, as if he had already fallen asleep. After waking up for a while, the sleepy "worm" crawled into his mind again.
When the sleepiness reaches the extreme, the perception of reality will become blurred, all sounds will become far away, and the body will sink more and more. The squinting scientific researcher saw a red light spot flickering in a trance a bit.
Then it immediately disappeared from the screen.
After a few seconds, it flickered again...
Damn, is it a hallucination?
The observer sitting next to the person reading the book was thinking with a vague consciousness, his eyes gradually recovered from the blurred state, and his pupils focused on the real flashing red mark.
The observer felt a "boom" in his head, got out of the chair and stood up, pointed at the cursor, grabbed his colleague with the other hand and said, "Detector! The signal of the detector has recovered!"
The colleague was staggered, and his books fell to the ground. He stood up and looked at the screen with the same shocked expression.
Yes! Probe No. 4, which all human beings are looking forward to, finally escaped from the dimension of death after several days! It's on its way back, ready to return to the planet!
Has this glorious and arduous task been completed on the 4th?
In such a quiet night, the observer shouted, "Quickly inform Professor Jiang!"
"I'll go right away!"
A minute later, all the lights on the entire floor of the observation building were lit up, which was extremely conspicuous in the dark night.
Jiang Cheng was knocked on the door by Gu Qingwan in his sleep. He put on his clothes, and a premonition arose in his heart, because his sleep would be disturbed in rare circumstances, and Gu Qingwan would never be like this in normal times.
Something must have happened!
Then, the professors in the cosmic docking team were also disturbed, woke up, put on their clothes, and rushed to the observation building.
The lights in each room came on, and they were all extremely nervous.
The moment Jiang Cheng walked out, Gu Qingwan reported the situation in short words, "At 12:28, the observer caught the cursor of the brain-like detector, which has entered the return route and successfully escaped Dimension of death."
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Cheng suddenly clenched his fists, straightened his neck, and immediately entered the state of work.
It's finally time...
No. 4 did not live up to his expectations, and he returned from the death dimension alone. This news is really exciting for the researchers who are eagerly looking forward to it.
The news alarmed the elderly Professor Busch. He was at the General Academy of Astronomy and it would take some time before he arrived.
After Jiang Cheng rushed to the observation room, there were already many team members inside, but after everyone saw him, they gave way very consciously, so he walked to the front position and fixed his eyes on the red dot.
"Number four..." Jiang Cheng called out in his mind.
"I'm here, boss."
"How about it, have you found the H-012 satellite? Have you got the video?"
"The mission has been completed, the docking and fitting with the H-012 satellite has been realized in the dimension of death, and the flight is returning according to the prescribed route."
In a word.
That neutral voice without a trace of emotion sounded like the sound of nature to Jiang Cheng. For some reason, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart...
Long-term hard work has paid off. All the vowed promises are not just words. He really managed to dispel the dark clouds in front of mankind.
This feeling did not appear before, because no one can guarantee the 100% success of the plan, not even Jiang Cheng himself.
But you survived in the end, didn't you?
Charged on this road with the belief of victory, Jiang Cheng stood alone in front of thousands of people. He and his team members became the first batch of warriors to face the invaders. storm.
It's a man's romance, not heroism.
The difficulty of the cosmic docking project has surpassed any previous one in terms of scientific research level, and Jiang Cheng and the group of the world's best researchers can barely do it.
At this time, he stood silently, without knowing why, he didn't speak, but his eyes were red.
Everyone didn't know why, but no one made a sound, and they all remained silent.
Maybe they felt the emotion of Jiang Cheng.
The room where many people are standing is nothing special on the surface, it seems ordinary, but there is a kind of surging emotion, which is manifested in the world of different images, and the surging emotion bursts out from everyone and overflows the body surface.
If the emotion that came with this success was water, it has now flooded the room.
In such an atmosphere, I am afraid that only a few deep breaths of air can relieve the discomfort in the gradually choked throat.
Everyone stared at the red cursor together, with a fiery look in their eyes.
"From now on, the observers are not allowed to leave, and they are closely watching the situation of the detector. No one is allowed to disclose the news of the brain-like return, and keep it secret! After Professor Busch comes, he must also tell him this information. Any leaks Confidentialists will be dealt with according to the contents of the signed document."
Jiang Cheng's cold voice resounded in the observation room.
"After the brain-inspired return, everyone will return to their posts according to the original plan, and we are ready to welcome it back."
"clear!"
