Chapter 117 This chapter has 20,000 words (please, please, you know what I mean~)
"How did you find this place?"
When Cooper woke up, he was not interrogated by a man in a black suit, but a square stainless steel box.
Cooper looked at the stainless steel box: "Where is my daughter?"
"You marked the coordinates here on the map. How did you know?" The stainless steel box with the word TARS on it continued to ask.
But Cooper was more concerned about the safety of his daughter than answering a robot's question. He shouted to the robot: "Where is my daughter!"
"Don't let me put you down again, sit down." This robot seems to have extremely high intelligence. The coherent and uninterrupted speech is just a manifestation of high computing power and intelligence. What's more amazing is that it can accurately perceive human emotions and choose the most appropriate attitude. This is already a fairly mature artificial intelligence, and it is not with the help of a huge supercomputer. This advanced intelligence can be perfectly integrated in this stainless steel box.
Cooper, who was a little calmer, did not soften his attitude: "Do you think you are from the military? There is no army now. A guy like you is quite suitable to help me mow the lawn."
The robot ignored Cooper's ridicule: "Where did you get the coordinates?"
"But you don't look like you can mow the lawn." Cooper observed his surroundings and continued to mock: "I can only turn you into a vacuum cleaner."
"You don't have the power." A woman came out from the shadows: "Tas, you go down first."
Looking at the stainless steel box slowly crawling away, Cooper said to the woman: "You know, requisitioning former military equipment is very risky. They are so old that the control unit is not very flexible. In other words, there is something wrong with the brain."
The woman walked up to Cooper: "The official has limited financial resources in this regard."
[Looking at the familiar face on the screen, Catwoman Selina Kyle, who lives in the simple Gotham City, curled up a charming smile at the corner of her mouth.
Bruce Wayne, who was leaning on a cane (this one is from the Nolan Batman trilogy, the previous ones were basically the original Batman version), raised his eyebrows: "It seems that the identity of the beautiful lady is indeed special enough. In the inventory video, such a low-probability event can happen when I see myself in the parallel world."
Selina Kyle kicked over Bruce Wayne's cane and climbed up the window: "Good night, Mr. Wayne, I have something to leave."
Looking at the black silk legs jumping out of the window, Bruce Wayne did not worry about whether such a weak woman would get hurt or something. After all,
although we don't know much now, we know that she is definitely not an ordinary person.
Instead of worrying about this, it is better to think about how to climb onto the bed, and then think about how to find this hard-to-find beautiful girl again. ]
In the video, the woman introduced herself as Dr. Brand.
Cooper was not unaware of Dr. Brand, but the woman in front of him was quite different from the image of Dr. Brand he thought of.
Subconsciously choking, Brand turned around and was about to leave. Cooper hurriedly called her: "Please, Dr. Brand, I don't know what you are doing. I am very worried about my daughter. I hope she can be with me now. Just promise me this and I will tell you everything."
Cooper was not completely panicked because he couldn't see his daughter. His ridicule of Tas just now was just to delay time and wait for the real person who can make the decision.
After all, no matter how smart the robot is, it is still people who have the right to speak. If he doesn't see people coming, he won't tell the information. Whether he can see his daughter depends on this information.
Looking back at Cooper's sincere eyes, Brand gave Tas an order to take Murphy to the conference room.
After receiving the order, Tas sent the information to the corresponding person in charge, and then followed Cooper and walked towards the conference room together.
"Your daughter is very smart, she's fine." Brad said as he walked in front.
Cooper looked at Tas who was following behind him nervously, fearing that some of its parts would short-circuit and come up to slap him.
Although the other party is not a combat robot, it has a metal shell after all. If it really hits you, it will be uncomfortable.
"So you obviously don't welcome outsiders to visit. Why don't you let us out and leave on our own?" Cooper suggested.
Brand responded: "It's not that simple."
"It's quite simple." Cooper said: "I don't know you at all. I don't know anything about this place."
Brand stopped in front of the door and looked at Cooper and said: "You know."
Before Cooper could think of an excuse, Brand opened the door. Inside the door was a not-so-large conference room with seven or eight old men in suits and leather shoes sitting.
"Dad!" Murphy saw Cooper and ran over happily and hugged him.
"Hello, Cooper." The old man sitting in the main seat greeted with a smile.
Cooper looked at the familiar old man: "Dr. Brand..."
[It's not just Cooper who was shocked.
In the world of Kingsman, before the inventory began, Arthur, who was discussing matters with Merlin, took a sip of wine.
"Ah, don't make such jokes, it's too boring. You know that me in the video is probably still a kid who just entered the society in our world." Arthur smiled and predicted Merlin's thoughts.
Merlin didn't drink: "It's amazing. From the appearance alone, they are exactly the same, and they seem to have reached a relatively high position in the secret organization. Dr. Brand? Arthur, tell me, have you ever tried to do scientific research? Maybe you can give it a try?"
After sitting down, Cooper held Murphy and accepted the question: "Explain how you found this place?"
"It was an accident." Cooper said without hesitation: "We accidentally found it when collecting waste." The
white-haired old man sitting opposite Cooper looked at Cooper's face and lied without blushing, and interrupted him to continue making up: "You are sitting in the most hidden place in the world. No one can find this place by accident, and no one can leave casually."
The white-haired old man's meaning was very clear. Cooper could not deceive him, nor could he deceive the professionals present. If he did not tell the truth, he and his daughter might be kept under house arrest here.
"Cooper, please, tell them the truth." said the old Professor Brand, who seemed to know Cooper.
Sighing, Cooper said helplessly: "Listen, it's a little difficult to explain. The reason why we can get here is because of an anomaly."
"What anomaly?" asked another bearded man in a suit.
Cooper waved his hand: "I don't want to say it's a supernatural phenomenon, but it does not conform to the scientific laws I know..."
Seeing that Cooper himself laughed, the old man who was responsible for playing the bad guy said: "Then you have to explain the matter clearly, don't hesitate."
Cooper hesitated to organize his words, but Murphy directly helped him say: "It's a gravitational anomaly."
Perhaps it was Murphy's age that made the people around her look down on her. The young woman, Dr. Brand, covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Although the bearded man who played the role of the white face also felt that the child did not understand, it was at least real enough, so he asked: "What kind of gravitational anomaly is it? Where was it found?"
Covering his daughter's ears, Cooper looked at the people around him and said: "I am very happy that you are interested in this question, but I will not tell you unless you guarantee that Murphy and I can leave here safely, instead of being stuffed in the trunk and transported to a place where people are specially imprisoned."
The youngest person around was Dr. Brand, and everyone else looked like they had children.
These people knew that Cooper covered his daughter's ears because he didn't want her to hear him describing the dangers he might encounter, but they were really not such a terrifying organization, just to scare them for information.
Everyone around was laughing, and old Brand calmed down his emotions and said to Cooper seriously: "Don't you know who we are, Cooper?"
"Uh, I don't know, I don't know anything." Cooper wisely chose to play dumb.
"You know my father." Dr. Brand Jr. said, "Then you should know that we are from NASA."
Cooper was a little bit unbelieving: "NASA?"
"Yes, where you used to work." Dr. Brand Sr. pressed the remote control, and the wall next to the conference room slowly slid open, revealing the rocket nozzle under construction.
Slowly walking towards the construction workshop, Cooper looked at the huge rocket with fascination: "I heard that NASA closed down a long time ago because you refused to drop bombs from the stratosphere on the starving people."
Brand Sr. nodded: "When they later realized that simply killing innocent people was only a temporary solution, they recalled us. Secretly recalled."
[Killing innocent people because of famine?
What kind of stupid order is this?
In the Qin's Moon world, Ying Zheng frowned.
He couldn't figure out why people should be killed in a famine.
Indeed, there is less food, and killing people will give the remaining people food.
But does this make any sense?
If there are no crops, then plant them, or take out the moldy grains hidden by profiteers and tyrants who are greedy for rare goods, and divide the grains in the treasury, so as to survive the difficult times.
Why do we need to massacre? How can we build a world after famine without anyone? How to solve the problem of being forced to rebel while killing people? Or does the world of science... really have the ability to unite all the people in the world and have the confidence to suppress it?
Ying Zheng thought about it, thinking of the series of 2,000 spaceships that were far more like a spectacle than a mirage, and thinking of Thanos's warships that were like mountains. He hesitated whether to change direction and support Gong Shujia... or even pardon and win over the Mo family.
But soon, Ying Zheng shook his head. In his world, the extraordinary system has been deeply rooted. Science may be useful, but it is definitely not the best effect in one or two years or even ten or twenty years.
The power of science should indeed be used, but it should be a national policy passed down from generation to generation. The power of science should be explored from generation to generation. Only when science and extraordinary go together can the Qin Dynasty move towards a more glorious future.
And this is not to suppress the people.
Ying Zheng never thought of massacres during the famine years. This is not only a temporary solution, but also digging his own grave. No matter how strong the power or how good the technology is, it will be useless if people are killed until the whole world obeys.
Qin law is strict because it is to deter villains, but it does not mean that mass killing can be done to solve some problems.
I just don't know if this science can find a more reliable path to longevity...
"Secret recall? Why?" Cooper didn't understand. Obviously, exploration is something to be proud of.
Old Brand explained, "Because the public can't stand the fact that the taxes they pay are not spent on areas they like, such as agriculture..."
Glancing at Cooper, Old Brand said, "Or on college education, not space exploration. In an era when it is difficult for most people to fill their stomachs, space exploration cannot be accepted by everyone."
Taking Cooper to a greenhouse, Old Brand explained not only to Cooper, but also to the heavens and the worlds: "The blight wiped out wheat seven years ago, and I think okra will be almost the same this year. Soon, only corn will be left."
"We planted more corn this year than ever before." Cooper was glad that his family's crop planting structure bypassed the interference of blight.
Old Brand waved his hand: "But just like the potatoes in Ireland and the wheat in the sandstorm area, corn will also become extinct."
Following Old Brand's gaze, what came into view was the mature corn in the laboratory, which was not in good condition.
"It will become extinct soon." Old Brand said.
"We will always find a way... There will always be a way..." Cooper said in confusion.
Old Brand looked at Cooper: "Just based on the firm belief that the earth belongs to mankind?"
[Not only Cooper fell silent, most of the ordinary people who traveled through the interstellar also fell silent.
There was no outbreak of fear among the people that the last food crops were about to become extinct, nor did they care about the taxes being used for space exploration.
The people were confused.
Because most of them were hungry, they had no time and no mood to march or riot...
In fact, some large farmers like Cooper had already noticed it.
Because they were not as lucky as Cooper, the crops they planted happened to be the last to become extinct.
These old farmers, from wheat to okra, and other crops before, or the news they learned from friends in other climate regions, were enough for them to guess.
Humanity may not have much time left.
But most of them are smart people, so they choose to hide this worry deeply to prevent their wives and children from knowing and making them panic.
But now everything is revealed.
Before the Great Famine, there were many entertainment works on Earth, and many movies described how humans would become extinct. In that prosperous era, even studying the mass extinction of ancient organisms could attract a lot of topics.
In their view, perhaps facing a huge meteorite impact like the dinosaurs is not unacceptable. After all, most people will die peacefully and all the pain will be very short.
But what they are experiencing is the pain of a blunt knife cutting flesh.
Therefore, they and the authorities tacitly let most people not know that the earth is running out of time.
Today's teenagers don't even know what cabbage tastes like...
The old people show nostalgic eyes. Only they who have lost all this miss the prosperity of the past the most. They
are also looking forward to whether the inventory video can bring a turnaround. ]
"The earth doesn't just belong to us..." Cooper finally looked into old Brand's eyes and said, "But this is our home, the home of mankind."
"80% of the earth is nitrogen." Old Brand took Cooper to the other side: "But we don't need to breathe nitrogen. Instead, the wilt bacteria rely on nitrogen to survive, so they can't be banned. They are becoming more and more rampant, making the oxygen in the air less and less. When all the crops die, the oxygen is gone."
Introducing the horror of the wilt in more detail, old Brand said: "Your daughter's generation..." Looking at Murphy who was walking with his daughter, old Brand whispered to Cooper: "It will be the last survivors on Earth..."
[In the interstellar world, Murphy, who stayed at home, finally understood why his father had to leave him behind and participate in the space program with no return date.
It is because of love that it is difficult to give up.
But it is also because of love that we have to find hope for future generations! ]
It was getting late, and little Brand brought Murphy here just to ask Cooper, the father, for permission to take her to rest for a while.
Of course Cooper agreed. After Little Brand and Murphy left, Cooper asked Old Brand with some trembling: "Okay... now you can tell me about your plan to save the world."
Old Brand did not reply, but took Cooper to the rocket preparation room next to him: "We are not going to save the world, but to leave this world."
"Wanderer." Seeing Cooper looking at the rocket in shock, Old Brand said proudly: "This is the last component of a multi-purpose spacecraft. That multi-purpose spacecraft is now in synchronous orbit. It is called Eternity..." After a pause
, Old Brand added with loneliness: "This will be our last expedition..."
Looking at the component on the top of the tall rocket, Cooper asked: "Do you mean to send people to find a new place to live?"
Old Brand affirmed: "Code name Operation Lazarus. Lazarus who came back to life."
"But there is no planet suitable for human survival in the solar system. Neither the moon nor Mars will do." Cooper's eyes could not leave the aerospace fortifications he loved: "The nearest habitable planet observed is a thousand light years away. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a suicide mission."
[In the interstellar world, Cooper suddenly remembered something and said to Old Brand: "Do you remember the second act of the first inventory? Our Proxima Centauri seems to be able to give birth to life?"
Old Brand thought for a while: "But compared to exploring through wormholes, it takes too long to go to Alpha Centauri alone with a spacecraft. Even if it hibernates most of the way, it is absolutely impossible to do it. And this is the case that nothing happens along the way. No one knows whether there will be any emergencies on the route..."
"Heavy interstellar dust clouds... disordered meteorites... obscured massive celestial bodies... There are too many uncertain and dangerous factors. Our spacecraft cannot make the advance four of another world. We have no choice." Old Brand also said with disappointment. ]
"Where are you going?" Cooper asked, realizing that Old Brand and others would certainly not choose such a road that was not even hopeful.
After thinking for a while, old Brand said, "I can only tell you so much, unless you agree to fly the spacecraft. You were once our best astronaut."
Cooper said self-deprecatingly, "I have only been to the stratosphere at best."
"But these people have never touched a real spacecraft." Old Brand said seriously, "We need real astronauts. Your previous training was for today."
"But I didn't know about this plan when I was training." Cooper shrugged. No matter where old Brand and others planned to go, it must be far away.
Not to mention the interstellar, not even the solar system, even landing on the moon is not a safe journey. Space travel is bound to be time-consuming and dangerous for humans at this stage.
He still has a daughter to raise. The career he once loved is indeed very tempting to him, but this does not mean that he can easily give up the children.
"And..." Cooper said, "Before today, you may not think I am still alive, right? Isn't your plan also in progress?"
"That's because we have no choice." Old Brand looked at Cooper, "But you happened to come here, and they chose you."
"They? Who?" Cooper keenly perceived the key information.
Looking at the look in old Brand's eyes, Cooper knew that this was also one of the secrets. If he didn't agree to be an astronaut, old Brand would not tell him.
He was wavering between spaceflight, family, and hope. Cooper asked with a twinkling look in his eyes: "How long will I be gone?"
"It's hard to say..." Old Brand was also unsure: "It may take years..."
Cooper said what he was most worried about: "I have children, professor..."
"Then go to space and find a way to save them." Old Brand said with a sharp heart.
Looking back at the direction where Murphy left before, Cooper turned his head and looked at old Brand: "Who are the 'they' you are talking about?"
The scene changed, and Cooper and old Brand returned to the meeting room again.
"We have detected gravitational anomalies since fifty years ago." A black man stood in front of the dears!)
Chapter 118 Let's get 25,000+ for this chapter (please subscribe, my dears!)
Cooper was finally convinced. Looking at Romily who was checking the data, he asked, "How far away do we have to be from Miller's planet to avoid time delay?"
Romily pointed at the screen with infrared light and drew a rough range: "It only needs to be on the periphery of the planet...about this position."
"Very good." Cooper flipped the screen to reveal the whiteboard behind it, and explained his idea with a simple diagram: "We don't let the Endurance operate in the orbit of Miller's planet. This saves fuel, but it wastes too much time. Instead, we go around the damn black hole of Gargantua, parallel to the orbit of Miller's planet. After we get near the planet, we go down to pick up Miller and samples. It's a one-way trip in and out, saving time and effort."
Seeing that his teammates all agreed to the plan, Cooper began to think about personnel arrangements: "We can't afford to waste time arguing on that planet, so Tas, you stay in the Endurance, Keith, you come with me, and everyone else can stay."
Romilly didn't seem to want to endure the feeling of motion sickness any longer: "You will be gone for several years. During this time, I can stay on the Endurance to study gravity and observe black holes. This is very important to Dr. Brand and I."
Nodding, Cooper gave an order to Tas, who had an opinion about him, to calculate a suitable route, and then went with Little Brand and Doyle to prepare to change into space suits.
"You don't like to talk, do you?" Cooper asked Case while sitting in the driver's seat.
"It's enough to have Tas talking." Case replied.
Smiling, Cooper pressed the switch: "Wanderer detached from the Eternity."
"Romilly, did you notice the gravity value?" Cooper said to Romilly on the other side of the communication channel, perhaps the last words in a few years, before entering the time anomaly zone.
"This value is simply unbelievable." Romilly replied.
On the co-pilot, Doyle pointed out the porthole and could clearly see the accretion disk and the black horizon of Gargantua: "That is the real heart of darkness."
The accretion disk of the black hole flashed with dazzling light, which made Cooper, who had just left the wormhole and did not understand the information here, mistakenly think that it was a star similar to the sun.
But now, the edge of the dark black hole horizon has been fully revealed.
This is a rare cosmic wonder and the most terrifying cosmic beast.
[The video of the inventory switched to a clearer black hole perspective, and even the mysterious side was paying attention to such cosmic wonders.
In a certain mythological world, the goddess Xihe looked at the ten golden crows lovingly: "See, children, you are born extraordinary, but it does not mean that you will stop here. If you risk your life, you will have such great power. Do you have the courage?"
In another mythological world, Kuafu looked at the black hole in the video with burning eyes. He stopped chasing the sun after half of chasing it and rested.
What is the sun? Chasing this black hole is more exciting!
After drinking up Dongting Lake, Kuafu felt better. ]
"If we can see the planets being swallowed within the event horizon and the singularity at the center of the black hole, we can solve the final problem of Dr. Brand's theory." The signal was not lost yet, and Romilly's words were transmitted to the Wanderer.
Cooper frowned: "Can't you see anything outside?"
"Nothing can leave the black hole, not even light. Even if light just passes by the black hole, it has to be twisted into a parabola to barely leave. Isn't it crazy?" Romilly said with a smile, revealing a sense of powerlessness: "The answer is there, but it can't be seen."
Little Brand reminded: "Miller's planet can be seen."
Cooper looked at the place marked by Little Brand. A planet almost on the accretion disk was "placed" there quietly, but due to the lack of reference objects, it was difficult to know clearly how close the planet was to the black hole.
"Goodbye, Wanderer." Romilly said goodbye.
He took the initiative to stay. It was impossible to say that he was not worried about staying alone on the Eternity for the next few years, even if Tass was talking to him.
The picture flashed, and Cooper and others who were just looking at the bean-sized planet were already close to Miller's planet, near the Karman line of this planet.
Cooper did not agree with Doyle and Brand's plan to turn the spacecraft around and use thrusters to slow down the landing. He planned to use the aerodynamic design of the flat fuselage of the Ranger to reduce fuel consumption.
After officially entering the atmosphere, compared with outer space, the dense air constantly rubbed against the expensive outer wall of the Ranger, and the speed of the spacecraft continued to decrease.
Finally, several people broke through the clouds and could clearly see the wide sea surface with the naked eye.
[Seeing this, not many people in the heavens and the world thought that this trip would be safe.
Because the place where the debris of the heavens appeared in the trailer was an ice and snow planet, but the planet that Cooper and others first arrived at was full of water and close to the black hole accretion disk. The temperature could not become such an ice and snowy place. Moreover, as time evolved, this planet would only be closer to the high-temperature accretion disk. Let alone becoming an ice and snow planet, it would be good if it was not baked dry.
This means that for some reason, after Cooper and others left this planet, whether it was the second planet or the third planet they went to, there was a problem, and then an unexpected situation occurred.
As for the speculation about the debris of the heavens this time, we basically know where the debris is.
It should be the debris that carries the hope of mankind, but destroys it...
"Will it be me..." Cooper muttered as he watched himself on the screen directing Case to search for the source of the signal. ]
In the video, the altitude is getting lower and lower, and Cooper pulls the joystick to let the Wanderer spiral down.
Although they are very scared, as the little Brand and Doyle who can be selected as alien pioneers, they deeply understand that the most important thing now is to trust their teammates, not to mess up because of fear.
They didn't fear for too long. At the last moment, Cooper let the Wanderer ignite the jet, and the spacecraft stopped steadily in the sea with not deep water after a turbulence.
Doyle looked at Cooper's outrageous operation in shock, but in return he only got Cooper's anxious urging.
Quickly unbuckle the seat belt, even if it is to prevent Romilly from waiting for a long time, everything must be done quickly.
At this time, a calm knocking sound was heard [the background music here is mountain]. The prelude of the background music that appeared out of nowhere seemed to hint to the audience of all the worlds watching the inventory that what happened next would not go as planned.
The first one to get off the Wanderer was Little Brand, who reacted first and unbuckled his seat belt.
Looking at the straight mountains towering into the clouds in the distance, he did not think carefully whether it was the result of the influence of the gravity of the black hole.
The most important thing at the moment is to search for Miller.
Following Case, who could accurately find Miller based on the signal, Doyle complained: "The gravity here is not small."
"Have you been in a weightless environment for too long?" Little Brand panted, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
But Case was not like Tas. He spoke through the loudspeaker and said honestly, "The gravity here is 1.3 times that of the Earth."
On the Prowler, Cooper looked at the two people and one plane not far away and grumbled to urge them.
According to Case's positioning, Miller's position should be about two hundred meters away, but there was open water around. Even if they were worried about whether the signal transmitter was in the water, they had already walked to the destination, but still found nothing.
Case found something. The clumsy-looking stainless steel box stretched out several folded arms and dug something out of the water.
Soon, relying on magnetic adsorption, Case fished out a broken instrument from the water.
"Her signal transmitter." Little Brand was confused. What happened? It was calm, but why was there no one here, and the signal transmitter was also damaged?
"Only the remains are left. Where are the other parts?" Doyle asked Little Brand who was running away.
It is not easy to run in a heavy space suit under 1.3 times the gravity of the earth. Little Brand panted and replied: "It's near the mountain!"
On the Ranger, Cooper looked at the two people's backs and said a terrible fact: "That's not a mountain... It's a huge wave..."
Hearing Cooper's reminder, Little Brand recovered and looked up carefully.
The mountain range that he had not noticed before, after careful observation, can be clearly seen that the sea surface in the distance and the huge waves are smooth to the ridiculous connection, and even the white waves on the halfway "mountain" can be seen clearly.
"Oh... Damn it..." Little Brand quickened his pace, trying to recover the key part as soon as possible.
In the Ranger, Cooper found that the huge wave that was mistaken for a mountain in the distance was going away.
"What about the other wave?" Cooper thought of something very bad, climbed out of the hatch of the Ranger, and looked to the other side.
The huge wave that covered the sky and the sun is already within reach!
[In the world of interstellar travel, no matter who sees the terrifying huge waves on this planet, they can't stay calm.
The abnormal time of this planet is enough to make most people refuse to live here. As a result, there are huge waves thousands of meters high, like mountains on this planet? !
No wonder the bright star is covered by the ocean, but the sea water is so shallow!
Ordinary people are in awe of the giant mountains, while people like Murphy and Cooper want to run as far as they can.
Looking at the nervous look of his granddaughter, Donald comforted her: "Don't be afraid, he may not go through the wormhole again. These are things that have not happened yet... At least, he will not go to this planet again."
At this time, the background music has reached the most exciting part, and the impact of the music and the picture is fully displayed in front of the heavens and the worlds.
That's right, in the heavens and the worlds, whether in the extraordinary or scientific fields, there are people who can easily deal with such huge waves, but there are more ordinary people. After inventory has become a routine, many people have learned to put together the screens of multiple people to become a super giant screen!
Thousands of meters high waves rose into the sky, hundreds of millions of tons of seawater swept in with the force of the sky, and no normal thing could survive the impact of such a huge wave!
Looking at the towering waves, the people in the 2012 world felt a strong sense of uneasiness... as if... they were about to experience such a huge wave... Speaking of which, there are more and more earthquakes recently, so it should be okay, right? ]
"Brand, Doyle, you two should return to the spacecraft immediately!" Cooper said anxiously. If this goes on, not to mention the time wasted, life safety cannot be guaranteed!
"I won't leave until I get her data!" Little Brand held a glimmer of hope, because Miller's information said that there is not only water here, but also organisms!
"Come back quickly! We don't have much time!" I'm afraid that he nervously adjusted the spacecraft status in the Wanderer: "The second wave of huge waves is coming soon, we can't avoid it!"
Fortunately, Little Brand didn't delay for long: "I found it! Come back immediately!"
But the information recorder was stuck by the wreckage of Miller's spacecraft. Little Brand not only did not take it out, but pulled himself into the water and his legs were crushed by the wreckage.
Seeing this, Cooper was anxious: "Brand, come back quickly!"
"No... leave me alone, go!" Little Brand only realized how dangerous the situation was at this time, and with a hint of despair, he made the most rational decision.
[In the interstellar world, old Brand thought about it and said to little Brand in the clean room: "Emilia, you made a wrong judgment on this matter. Although there are organic matter on this planet, it is better to say that it is a doomsday planet than a land of hope. This planet has no value. You should have left immediately instead of looking for the recorder. Do you understand?"
Little Brand looked at himself in the video with a complicated expression and nodded.
From a third-party perspective, his decision in the video was indeed very irrational, even stupid. For such a planet, even if the huge waves were farther away and enough to recover the information recorder, it would be a meaningless move, because this would undoubtedly be a blacklisted planet. ]
"Keith, go pick her up." Doyle made a prompt decision.
Keith dropped the beacon carried by the mechanical arm and rolled towards little Brand like a hedgehog.
Although Little Brand made the most appropriate decision, neither Doyle nor Cooper would easily abandon their companions. Cooper had already adjusted the parameters of the Prowler, and Doyle was dragging the beacon towards the Prowler.
After Little Brand was rescued by Case, Doyle simply threw away the beacon and ran desperately towards the Prowler.
Case was a former military robot like Tass after all. He usually looked like a dull stainless steel box, but he was reliable enough at critical moments. He carried Little Brand towards the Prowler at a speed much faster than normal running.
The huge waves were getting closer and closer, and Little Brand was put into the Prowler by Case.
Doyle breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the huge waves in shock.
If he boarded the Prowler at this time, there would be no accidents, but just a moment of delay, the undercurrent in the water was in front of Little Brand, dragging Doyle away.
Little Brand at the hatch was stunned, calling Cooper in the noise of the huge waves, but he couldn't hear it at all.
It was because of this short delay that the huge waves of seawater had already reached the Prowler. A large amount of seawater gushed in from the hatch that had not been closed yet, and the spacecraft engine was submerged by seawater. The remaining two people were also in danger.
At the critical moment, the hatch was closed and no more seawater poured in, but the surging waves had already arrived. Cooper and Little Brand in the cabin were hit into the air again and again by the huge waves. Within a range of less than two meters, they were hit by gravity and inertia.
But the situation was much better at this time. The quality of aerospace materials is not a joke. With its excellent appearance design, the Prowler was not swallowed by the huge waves, but like a small boat, it slowly floated from the bottom of the waves to the top of the waves.
After finally sitting in his seat, Cooper looked up and saw that the Prowler was hit by the crest of the wave and rushed down to the "calm" sea surface thousands of meters below.
After the thrilling surfing, the spacecraft stopped steadily on the sea surface after the huge waves left.
The tripod was propped up, but the ignition still failed. After checking, it was found that there was too much water in the spacecraft, and the water must be drained first.
"Damn it!" Cooper was so angry that he slammed the chair and walked to Little Brand.
"I told you to leave me alone, why didn't you listen!" Little Brand took the initiative to
say. Cooper got even angrier when he heard it, and picked up Little Brand's space suit and yelled: "I also told you to come back quickly! Didn't you say so! The mission is more important! You should think about the mission! Instead of recovering useless data!"
"But you only think about going home!" Little Brand didn't think he had done anything wrong at this time: "I just want to do what I should do."
Cooper, who was extremely disappointed and frustrated, slapped the wall and said coldly: "You should tell Doyle this the most. He was delayed to death by you."
Without paying attention to Little Brand, Cooper confirmed the drainage situation at Case's place.
But the design of the Prowler did not expect to experience such extreme conditions. The drainage speed was not fast, and it might take an hour.
"Organic matter? The elements of life? How much does it cost? Ah?!" Seven more years have passed, and Tom's children may be as old as Murphy. Cooper is anxious but helpless, questioning the "culprit" of all this, Little Brand.
Little Brand has calmed down a little: "The cost is huge... decades... time on this planet is very slow... Judging from the wreckage, Miller's spaceship may have been smashed by huge waves just after landing. Judging from the time on this planet... maybe it was not long ago... maybe he died a few minutes ago..."
Cooper shook his head: "I shouldn't have expected too much from you... You didn't expect this at all. You nerds who have only stayed in the simulation cabin are not suitable for this kind of work... Don't say that your wisdom has brought us here, to the farthest place humans have ever set foot on. Now we are trapped here! We may not be able to go back until all the people on Earth die!"
Sitting on the ground, Cooper looked at Little Brand, whose hair was wet with sweat: "Is it possible that we can find a way to jump into a black hole and then find a way to take time back?"
Little Brand shook his head: "Time is relative, understand? This is not a science fiction movie. Time can be stretched or compressed, but it cannot go back. The only thing that can cross dimensions like time is gravity!"
Thinking quickly, Cooper said: "Those who brought us here...'they', they communicate through gravity? Am I right?"
Little Brand looked at the huge waves going away: "Yes."
"Can they talk to us from the future?" Cooper asked seriously.
"Maybe." Little Brand replied.
"Okay, if they can..."
Little Brand knew that Cooper wanted to use gravity to talk to the past like 'they' did: "'They' are five-dimensional life forms. To them, time may be another entity of space. To them, the past may be like a canyon, and the future may be like a mountain. It may be a little troublesome to get in and out, but it is not a very difficult thing. But for us this is impossible. It is much more difficult than for a fish in the trench that has never seen the sun to climb Mount Everest!"
Little Brand's eyes were red: "I messed up, Cooper, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry... You should understand the theory of relativity, you know you can't go back..."
"Brand..." Cooper rubbed his eyebrows: "My daughter is only ten years old. When I left, I didn't have time to teach her Einstein's theories..."
"Didn't you tell her that you were going to save the world?" Little Brand asked.
Cooper shook his head: "She only knows that I am leaving the earth, but she doesn't know what I am going to do. When you become a parent, you will understand one thing, that is, to ensure that your children feel safe, so I couldn't tell my children that the world is going to end and Dad is going to save the world."
Little Brand was thinking, but Keith's reminder interrupted her meditation. A new huge wave was coming!
