An extraordinary journey from the beginning

Chapter 98 When Hope Arises.

……

The convoy was struggling to move forward in the snow, the tires of the cars were gripping the ground, and every time they moved forward, the place behind them was unknowingly kicked up by tens of meters of thick snow.

After more than half an hour of bumpy journey, a huge steel outline can finally be seen from a long distance. The pass of hundreds of meters is shaped like a crater. Now all you can see is billowing black smoke and feeling the heat temperature.

The steel pass soaring into the sky was dim and dull, where there should have been blue ion light speed soaring into the sky.

"It's less than a hundred kilometers away from the Hangzhou Underground City, and it's expected to arrive in half an hour!"

The old man Han Ziang who was driving looked forward, and he quickly judged with rich experience.

Lieutenant Wang Lei heard the words, quickly pressed twice on the communicator, and connected to the signal of the Hangzhou underground city, "This is the cn171-11 rescue team, I am the commander Wang Lei, can Hangzhou hear it?"

"Received! Received! This is Hangzhou Dungeon, and I am the director of the management committee, Yang Lijun!" Soon a man's voice sounded from the communicator.

"Hello, Director Yang, the cn171-11 rescue team is about to arrive at Hangzhou Underground City with the flint delivered, and it is expected to arrive at the destination in less than half an hour."

Wang Lei looked at the time and said in a deep voice: "Please help us clear the smoothest road in advance and cooperate with our rescue operation!"

Although there were hardly any vehicles on the original glacier plain, once they approached the underground city, there would inevitably be many vehicles for rescue and delivery of supplies, and because of the disaster, there would be more vehicles than usual at this time.

Wang Lei didn't want to delay the rescue time because of this trivial matter.

"Okay, I'll arrange to clear the traffic right away! Thank you for your quick help!"

Director Yang's voice became a lot more excited, and he said quickly.

Then came the sound of shouting.

Ten minutes later, the vehicles that were originally coming and going on the ground in Hangzhou City, no matter the rescue vehicle, the supply vehicle or other vehicles, seemed to have received instructions, and they all actively leaned towards the two sides, giving way to a straight and unimpeded direct access to the engine infrastructure. direction of the road.

The transport vehicle was moving forward at full speed, and soon arrived at the surface of Hangzhou City. Looking at the surrounding unobstructed roads and the excited figures from the cabs of the vehicles that pulled over, Han Ziang's eyes became hot, but it was very difficult. He quickly reacted, and quickly drove in the direction of the positioned base.

A few minutes later, as the carrier vehicle drove to the central area of ​​the planetary engine, a group of engineers who had been waiting for a long time stood in place. After Han Ziang braked the car, he pressed the switch of the rear compartment.

The engineer quickly rushed to the car, unloaded the flint and transported it to the engine.

Everyone in the car got off one after another to help.

……

"Wake up, it's time~"

Li Shiqing patted Lu Ming's face and said softly.

"Don't make noise, I'll sleep again~"

Lu Ming muttered, but his face still arched inward.

Li Shiqing felt helpless looking at her boyfriend who looked like a child, but it was only for a moment, when she felt a rush of heat from her lower abdomen, she was startled, her face was flushed, she quickly looked around to make sure no one was there, and then she let it go The heart patted the chest.

After feeling relieved, looking at Lu Ming who was still pretending to be asleep, he was immediately extremely ashamed and annoyed. He squeezed Lu Ming's ears and turned them 180° vigorously.

"Don't, don't!"

Lu Ming quickly followed his ears and raised his head to beg for mercy.

"Aren't you going to wake up?"

Li Shiqing snorted coldly.

"Isn't this smelling so good on you~"

With a flattering smile, Lu Ming rubbed his red ears.

Even though the physical fitness is far superior to ordinary people, some places are still relatively fragile, such as ears, for example...

And these places can be easily manipulated by Li Shiqing.

A normal man needs a weakness and, of course, an armor if necessary.

……

After a while, Lu Ming got out of the car and looked at the busy people, shook his head involuntarily, and sighed softly: "Good times are always short."

"Virtue!"

Li Shiqing gave him a blank look, thinking that Lu Ming was talking about what happened just now.

Lu Ming smiled, without explaining, he turned to Liu Qi who was waiting under the car and asked, "How is the engine?"

"When we arrived, the temperature of the engine had already risen to several million, but fortunately, Flint was delivered in time, and everything was still under control. Just now, Flint has been successfully replaced by workers, and Li Changtiao has already arranged for it. Restarted the engine and should have results soon."

Liu Qi looked at the behemoth in front of him and said softly.

Lu Ming nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.

Lu Ming doesn't understand technology, and he doesn't intend to go in to cause trouble. He just stands outside and waits for the results inside. However, he thinks it's already a few hours earlier than the original book. Although it's hot here, there is no magma flow at all. After coming out, the situation in Hangzhou Underground City is much better than expected, so there is nothing to worry about.

as predicted,

A few minutes later, a blue ion light suddenly rose from the sky of the engine, and the staff in the control room and the lobby immediately embraced each other in surprise when they saw this scene.
"Success! Success!"

"The planetary engine has restarted!"

"Hangzhou City has been saved, oh! Thank you Lord Buddha!"

"Wrong! We should thank the rescue team!"

"Yes yes yes! Haha, thanks to the rescue team!"

Looking at the surprised crowd inside, Lu Ming smiled knowingly, and patted Liu Qi on the shoulder, "Go and fill the vehicle with energy fuel. When Li Yiyi comes out, we will go to the next stop immediately!"

"Save Sulawesi!"

"it is good!"

Liu Qi suppressed the excitement in his heart, responded immediately, turned around and ran to the energy source to recharge the vehicle.

"Do you still want to take them?"

Li Shiqing asked at this time.

She thought that since Lu Ming had saved a few people and the Hangzhou engine had restarted, it meant that the dungeon was safe for the time being, and that Duoduo and Liu Qi could be put here, after all, the surface was really dangerous.

With a low temperature of tens of degrees below zero, accidents may occur at any time. After all, Han Duoduo and the others are just ordinary people.

In contrast, dungeons are the foundation of human life in this era.

There are houses for living and living, classrooms for teaching...

"The underground city is not safe. The current peace is only short-lived, and chaos is the final necessity. Only by staying by my side can I protect them!" Lu Ming explained softly.

Although he has not read the original book, he has seen many comments and videos explaining the deleted part of the movie on the Internet.

Slightly raising his head, looking at the endless sea of ​​stars, Lu Ming continued, "When hope rises, human beings will have endless joy, but when they find that all this is an illusion...their frustration will be comparable to more serious joy."

In the original book, although the protagonist group did not rescue the Hangzhou engine, 70.00% of the steering engines and [-]% of the propulsion engines on the earth have been restarted.
After all, it is a saturated rescue. Even if this team can't make it, there are always other teams that can arrive first.

But even so, the final outcome still cannot save the situation of Jupiter crashing into the earth. The artificial intelligence Moss explained that when the first earthquake occurred, Moss had already deduced all the results. This is just a doomed futility. rescue operations.

Li Shiqing followed him and looked up at the sky. The originally dark and hazy sky, because of the restart of the engine, lit up the blue ion light, which went straight into the sky and at the same time illuminated the sea of ​​stars in the universe.

A little bit of starlight twinkled, and it was beautiful and flawless for a while.

Li Shiqing stretched out her arms to hug Lu Ming, leaned her head gently in his arms, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, "Is it true that Liu Qi's father can't be saved?"

"In a doomsday environment, there will always be sacrifices, and one person's sacrifice can be exchanged for the hope of the world. This is an extremely cost-effective thing."

Lu Ming caressed her soft hair, and sighed softly, "But when I clearly know the context of everything, but still can't change the inevitable and best solution that I know, there will always be a feeling in my heart. Powerlessness."

"In the face of the natural disasters of the evolution of the universe, human beings appear too small after all."

A sense of powerlessness rose in Lu Ming's heart. If he was to say who could really move him on the wandering earth, Liu Peiqiang could definitely be counted as the last person. Liu Qi was just a kid, and Duo Duo was still young, so he was just teasing and making a joke. up.

But when watching the movie, Liu Peiqiang really touched Lu Ming in order to fight for a future. One person, one space station’s main control room. When it was time, Liu Peiqiang also sent the 30 human embryos that the artificial intelligence Moss had reserved. He and hundreds of millions of seeds separated from the control room, and went to fight for a hope alone.

Perhaps this is hope.

In addition to showing strong personal heroism, Liu Peiqiang used his extremely irrational behavior to a certain extent to represent the endless struggle of all human beings, unwilling to be reconciled to the ruling of fate.

Human beings need a hero and a hope, even if his existence is extremely unscientific, even if the method to finally save the world is extremely absurd.

"If it really can't be saved."

Li Shiqing raised her neck slightly, and looked at Lu Ming worriedly, "I hope you don't have too much psychological pressure."

"Hehe, I'm sentimental."

Lu Ming habitually scratched the bridge of her nose again, and said with a light smile, "I was not so emotional before, it was all influenced by you, you have to pay me!"

"How to pay?"

Li Shiqing blinked.

"Of course I will pay for it for the rest of my life!"

"Think beautifully!"

"Of course I want to be beautiful, every second of my life should be full of hope!"

……

Maybe I'm not a hero, maybe I'm just a lonely traveler from world to world, but your appearance raised a light in my lonely heart.
