Volume 3 Chapter 49 Arrival at the Asteroid Belt
Night falls in Yanjing City.
It was already 11 o'clock in the evening in Yanjing time.
Everything here still operates according to the time when the Earth was still orbiting the sun normally thousands of years ago.
So normally, Lin Xu would have gone to bed at this time.
Although he could get enough rest for his brain with less , he still tried to ensure about seven hours of sleep a day.
This made him feel that he was still the same person as before and had not changed much.
Just as he keeps this city running according to Yanjing time, he is constantly reminding himself that no matter where you are in the universe, you are an Earthling and you belong to the Earth.
But today was a little different, so Lin Xu stayed up a little late.
Because today is the long-awaited Chinese New Year.
Still sitting in the yard, on a low table added not far away, there was an old 50-inch LCD TV.
In this era when holographic projection has completely replaced television, we can still find this LCD TV. If nothing unexpected happens, it is produced for Lin Xu in the factory that has just been started.
Only Lin Xu can enjoy this special treatment.
What was broadcast on TV was the Spring Festival Gala.
It's not this year's. There is only Lin Xu on the earth, and it is impossible for anyone else to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala.
So what was broadcast on TV was the 2051 Spring Festival Gala, the first New Year after Lin Xu was put into cryogenic hibernation in 2050 due to cancer.
This was also a gala that Lin Xu had never watched.
To be honest, after Lin Xu grew up, he basically never watched the Spring Festival Gala properly, whether he was going to college and going home for the New Year, or when he was living with his ex-girlfriend, the Spring Festival Gala was basically playing on TV during the New Year, and he was playing with his mobile phone, and never paid attention to what programs were broadcast on the Spring Festival Gala.
It can be said that today's Spring Festival Gala is the only one that Lin Xu has watched in its entirety since he grew up, without starting to play with his phone halfway through.
The Spring Festival Gala programs that Lin Xu had complained about countless times before, such as being rubbish and not good to watch, have now become a happy trouble in his eyes.
Lin Xu suddenly remembered a sentence.
Perhaps every day we live is a series of miracles that happen continuously.
It was past midnight, Lin Xu was eating the dumplings made by Miss Qiu and watching the countdown to midnight on TV.
The old year has passed and the new year has arrived.
The only difference is that the year that arrived on TV was 2051, while the year that Lin Xu welcomed was 10891.
The TV started broadcasting scenes of fireworks being set off after midnight.
Lin Xu also looked up at the sky above his head, but unfortunately there were no fireworks.
Just when Lin Xu was feeling a little emotional, the fake night sky above his head suddenly became transparent, and the real pitch-black starry sky outside the ecological dome appeared in Lin Xu's eyes.
Although the Earth is now moving at twice the speed of light, twice the speed of light is too small compared to the scale of the universe.
Therefore, the starry sky will not show signs of shaking due to the rapid movement of the earth itself, but will remain steadily in the sky. Its position has only changed significantly compared to when the earth was still in the solar system .
The fake sky just now, the simulated starry sky of the Earth's era, the clearly visible Big Dipper, etc., have all disappeared in the real sky now.
In other words, even if it can still be seen, the Big Dipper will no longer look like a spoon because of the change in the relative position of the earth.
This is why the biodome displays a fake starry sky at night, to increase the immersive feeling of still living in the solar system era.
Of course, that's not the point right now.
The key point is that along with the appearance of the real sky, fireworks with obvious tail flames rushed towards the sky around the ecological dome of the entire Yanjing City, and then exploded above the ecological dome.
The gorgeous fireworks instantly painted the entire city of Yanjing colorful.
Even the entire city of Yanjing turned off the lights to coincide with this moment.
Lin Xu looked at all this in surprise.
"Master, Happy New Year." Miss Qiu said behind Lin Xu.
"What is this?" Lin Xu was puzzled.
"I arranged it. Does the master like it?" Miss Qiu's voice was still calm, but Lin Xu seemed to hear the tension in it.
"I like it very much, thank you." Lin Xu smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Miss Qiu also laughed, it was a faint smile, showing happiness and a sense of relief.
Before doing this, she also thought about what to do if Lin Xu didn't like it, but she still did it.
Some are impulsive, and some are not in line with rational thinking.
But she did it anyway.
Lin Xu felt relieved.
It's not just the fireworks, but also that Miss Qiu is finally becoming more and more like a human being.
She no longer acts rationally in everything, and occasionally does some emotional things.
This is good.
"Okay, the New Year is over, it's time to go to bed." Lin Xu stretched.
The sleeping he mentioned at this time was naturally not just sleeping, but sleeping in a hibernation chamber.
The Earth has been sailing for many days since leaving Test Site Planet 1.
At this time, through the ashes of the fireworks, Lin Xu could still see a corner of the sky, which was the Test Site Planet No. 1, which had become an ordinary star because of its great distance.
In a while, even this star may not be visible to the naked eye.
After all, the universe is so huge that a star that can be seen from a far enough distance must at least be a star.
Test Site Planet No. 1 is far from being qualified.
Just like that, after leaving the test site Planet No. 1, Lin Xu waited for a few more days, and after the New Year, he entered hibernation again.
After Miss Qiu closed the hibernation chamber for Lin Xu, she also began to hibernate in the hibernation chamber next to it.
Miss Qiu, who underwent a new genetic modification together with Lin Xu and also gained a lifespan of 5,000 years, should theoretically accompany Lin Xu for his entire life.
Then when Lin Xu is in hibernation, she must also go into hibernation.
Ensure that the degree of physical aging of both people is basically synchronized.
Until another hundred years passed.
Miss Qiu was awakened by the intelligent quantum computer Taiyin on duty ten minutes ahead of Lin Xu.
Then Miss Qiu came out of the hibernation chamber, sorted out her current condition a little, and then woke up Lin Xu.
"Master, you are awake. The time now is 10991 in the Departure Calendar. Your hibernation time has ended. After a hundred years of sailing, the Earth is about to arrive at the target galaxy. The on-duty intelligent computer Taiyin will report the latest intelligence to you later." Miss Qiu said after Lin Xu opened his eyes.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Xu walked out of the hibernation chamber.
After stretching his body a little and feeling nothing was wrong, he walked out of the sleeping room and started to ask.
"Taiyin, please report the latest situation."
"Okay, human Lin Xu, I will introduce to you the latest intelligence collected about the asteroid belt."
Miss Qiu followed behind Lin Xu as usual.
