Chapter 92: The Wonderful Story of Space

  "The Hyperion, report your status."

  The audio played, and there was a slightly hoarse and dull sound characteristic of a radio station.

  "Report San Diego, everything is normal, you can start testing the transition function."

  The voice of the reply was like speaking in a can, and it was muffled.

  Lin Fan: "Is it a test of leap technology?"

  "Okay, start the engine warm-up now."

  "The Hyperion received, now start engines 1 and 3, the energy shield is ready."

  "Hold on, command center will follow up with APU activation. Don't forget note 34-3 in the operator's manual."

  "Okay, check now... everything is normal, the jump test is ready."

  "Very good, we can start."

  ...

  "An unknown starry sky, have we succeeded?"

  "We made it!"

  ...

  "A good news, a bad news... The good news is that the jump was successful, the bad news is that there is a huge deviation from the expected destination... Communication with Santiago has also been disconnected and is now trying to re-establish contact ."

  "...(heavy breathing and silence)"

  "We still have enough fuel...don't get too frustrated."

  "The Hyperion shouts Santiago, please answer!"

  "The Hyperion shouts Santiago, please answer!"

  ...

  The ethereal piano sounded, and the sound of water droplets and bubbles could be heard. Lin Fan couldn't help but closed his eyes, as if he was in the deep sea, slowly falling and sinking, the light above his head gradually pulled away, and the darkness below him It is getting deeper and deeper, even if you stretch out your hand, you can't touch the world that is leaving.

  "There's no more fuel. Perhaps, this is our home."

  "Space, it's really beautiful."

  "Our home star, don't know which direction it is in?"

  The strings of the acoustic guitar are plucked, there is a touch of sadness in the melody, and the small and claustrophobic space around is disintegrating little by little, but unexpectedly, there is no despair, only the detachment of life and death.

  "What do you miss most on your home planet? Is there anyone you miss?"

  "For this mission, I haven't seen my wife for a year, and I always feel sorry for her. What about you? No one looks up at the sky and misses you?"

  "I have a lovely four-year-old daughter. She's probably in kindergarten right now, playing hide-and-seek with other kids.

  "very nice."

  After the recording of the black box was played, Lin Fan fell silent for a while.

  Another "Pioneer" achievement pops up at the bottom right of the screen, and the icon is a coffin floating in the starry sky.

  The options reappear.

  "1. Play what's in the black box.

   2. Dismantle the spaceship and recycle some materials that can be used.

   3. Move on. "

  He moved the mouse to 2, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose 3 and moved on.

  "Don't disturb their long sleep!"

  This time, I jumped to the location marked by the escort mission picked up by the bar.

  Huang Mao Lin Fan: "Sir, we have already arrived."

  "I think, even without your escort, we can arrive smoothly." Beside the dialog box, a chubby human businessman smoking a cigar said.

  Lin Fan opened his mouth in astonishment: "This is... a sign of repentance? Don't you plan to pay me?"

  Huang Mao Lin Fan: "What do you mean?"

  "Your pay is not worth 30 scraps. I think 15 is enough."

  "1. Well, I agree. (Get 15 scraps)

   2. If you are not going to pay the promised payment, I will take it back myself.

   3. Demonstrate spacecraft weapons for deterrence. (Grey, requires ship with advanced weapon unlock option.)"

  "Fuck! Do you still want to regret the promised reward for the task?!"

  Lin Fan immediately chose the second option, and the battle began!

  Lin Fan is now very proficient in combat operations. After a fierce beating, the HP of the opposite spaceship has been reduced to one-third!

  The fat caravan owner begged for mercy: "Stop fighting! I was just joking! If you let me go, I will compensate you!"

  "If you agree to a truce, you can get 30 scraps, weapon: small ion pulse cannon, do you accept it?

   1. Accept surrender and cease fire.

   2. Keep attacking. "

  Lin Fan took a closer look at the information on the small ion pulse cannon: "The charging time is 12 seconds, it consumes two bars of energy, and one attack with two shots can temporarily malfunction the system of the enemy spaceship hit for 2 seconds without causing direct damage... ...doesn't cause harm?"

  He thought about it for a while and rejected the conditions of surrender: "What kind of garbage weapon, I have fired two missiles to compensate me for this? It's too bad!"

  In the beam shot, the opposite ship smoked and shattered in explosions and fire.

  "You searched the wreckage of the ship and got 13 scraps, 1 fuel."

  Lin Fan's eyes were dull: "Fuck, it's better to accept surrender! This wave of blood loss!"

  Although a little depressing, but also can only accept this result.

  Now it takes two shortest jumps to the exit beacon of this nebula, and the red range of the rebels has covered more than half of the star map.

  Lin Fan decided not to delay any longer and went straight to the exit.

  Jump!

  A blue-green planet appeared in front of him.

  "This planet seems to be a primitive life planet, and nothing unusual has been found. Do you want to investigate further?

   1. Each planet has its own uniqueness, simply investigate it.

   2. It's just an ordinary planet. We have more important things to do, don't waste time on unnecessary things. "

  Lin Fan naturally chose the first option.

  So the spacecraft entered the atmosphere and docked on a grassland near the lake.

  At this time, the sky was full of clouds floating, absorbing the strong light, and combining with the sunset near the night, showing an elegant lavender purple, mixed with hazy pink and pure blue, just like a fairy tale dream.

  The sparkling lake water has also been dyed purple, with faint ripples drawn by the breeze. Against the background of the low valley in the distance, the green grass leaves under the feet sway gently, and the white butterflies are flying, which is a kind of leisure and comfort. The atmosphere makes people feel relaxed.

  The next scene surprised Lin Fan, and saw each and every one of them rushing towards the distance... Cats?

  Although there is no doubt that they look like cats, they are too big! The stone people are already the tallest among the races in the universe, but these cats look taller than the stone people.

  Giant cats surrounded the spaceship, watching this strange-looking outsider, and some of them even stretched out their palms to fiddle with it.

  "Your ship is surrounded by some weird looking creatures, but they seem to be just curious about the ship and have no intention of attacking.

   1. Try to communicate with these creatures and send out signals of kindness.

   2. Nip the threat in its cradle. Fire! !

   3. This may be a very dangerous creature, so please leave as soon as possible. "

  Lin Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "...What the hell is this!"
