Yun Jinxin flipped the photo over and found it was a color photo, not a black - and - white one. In this era, only wealthy families could afford to take photos, and this was a color photo. Yun Jinxin's mind was in a mess. Plus, the man's appearance, temperament, and attire—could she really have picked up a young master from a wealthy family?
The photo was of a woman. The woman was very beautiful, wearing no makeup, with a natural look. Her skin was fair and rosy, making Yun Jinxin envious. What woman in the world doesn't love beauty? Everyone yearns for beautiful things. This woman's appearance was the most beautiful among all the women she had ever seen, bar none.
Even just from the photo, she could feel the woman's otherworldly 气质,like a fairy from a fairy tale who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.
"Could it be that he ran away to avoid a family marriage, and something happened to this girl, so he doesn't want to wake up?" Looking at the woman's photo, Yun Jinxin instantly made up a poignant love story.
The man didn't want to have a marriage and ran away. The woman had an accident for some reason or couldn't meet the man, making the man extremely grief - stricken, so he didn't want to wake up?
It's no wonder she thought this way. As a woman, she could get into the best university in the country, which showed her family background was not too bad. She had seen many such things. She also came here for this reason. She was already 24 years old this year, of marriageable age, but she didn't want to get married and had no one she liked.
If she were still at home, even if there were no marriage arrangements, she would be pressured into blind dates and eventually forced to marry, and the result wouldn't be good. Since she came here, she increasingly didn't want to leave. She wanted to help them and help them get out.
After washing and hanging the clothes, she went into the house. Looking at the man, there was a trace of pity in her eyes. They were the same kind of people, with similar fates and similar causes and effects. This made her want to help the man even more.
The next day.........
Yun Jinxin got up to wash after hearing the rooster crow. When she was preparing breakfast, she found the man on the bed was gone. Then she ran out of the house and saw a man standing in the yard, holding a photo.
The man heard the movement behind him, turned around to look at Yun Jinxin, put the photo away, bowed, and then prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"You're still too weak. Stay here with me to recuperate for two days." Yun Jinxin ran out, supported the man, and felt she could see the man's thoughts—he might be missing that girl again.
The man didn't speak, just shook his head, still planning to leave.
"I know you want to leave here for this girl, but what can you do in your current condition? You can't even stand steadily. Even if you go out that gate, how many steps can you take?" Seeing the man still wanting to leave, Yun Jinxin was very anxious and began to persuade him patiently.
After hearing these words, the man hesitated. He didn't go out again, just stood there, stunned.
"Okay, just listen to me. First, get your health back. After that, you can go wherever you want, and I won't stop you." Seeing the man waver a little, Yun Jinxin persuaded him while pulling him back into the house.
"Okay, let's talk about everything after eating." Yun Jinxin pulled the man to sit at the table and gave him a large bowl of mashed potatoes.
Half - pushed, the man was pushed into the house by Yun Jinxin, sat at the table, and stared at the mashed potatoes in front of him, at a loss for what to do—he had never seen this before and didn't know how to eat it.
Looking at the man's appearance, Yun Jinxin thought he hadn't eaten it before. It made sense; how would a young master from a wealthy family eat such a thing for breakfast.
"I know you might not be used to it, but make do with it. This is all I have at home. I also have some pork food coupons. I'll come back at noon to make meat for you." Because Yun Jinxin taught, she could get a half - pound pork food coupon every week. Others could only get one every half a month.
She had eaten little in the past two years and saved several pork food coupons. She was a bit reluctant to use them, but she was willing. After all, the man was still very weak and needed to be well - nourished. Relying on these coarse grains alone wouldn't be enough.
The man stared at the mashed potatoes in front of him without moving until he saw the girl take a bite, then he picked up the mashed potatoes and started eating. He had never eaten or seen this before. In the past, they were directly injected with nutrient solution, and one bottle of nutrient solution was enough to sustain their activities for several days.
This mashed potato could provide very little energy for him. He was in urgent need of energy supplementation.
After he crossed the black hole, he found himself near Jupiter. Moreover, the shuttle was damaged in many places, and the speed of the shuttle was very high, reaching 1,500 kilometers per second.
This speed was already close to the critical value of this spaceship. Plus, the current state of the spaceship, it wouldn't be long before it disintegrated. Even if he was strong, he couldn't survive in space for long.
However, after flying for a while, he found that the space city and space port that should have been in this area were gone. Then he turned on the detector and detected a radius of three million kilometers, but found no signs of life.........
A chill ran through his mind. Three million kilometers was the maximum detection range of this shuttle. Currently, he was only two million kilometers away from Jupiter. Four space cities had been built on Jupiter's orbit, and no less than ten space cities had been built on Jupiter's surface, each with millions of people.
But now, there were no signs of life, and he didn't even see a single space city. What on earth had happened?
Could it be that he had transcended time and returned to the Common Era? In the books he had read, after humanity entered a unified era, the space migration era began, and the Common Era calendar was completely abandoned, 改用 (changed to) the Star Calendar. He was "abandoned" in the 940th year of the Star Calendar. If humanity hadn't started space migration by this time, didn't that mean he had pushed the timeline back by about a thousand years?
According to the knowledge he had accessed, theoretically, calculating with the speed of light as the time axis, transcending the speed of light could reverse time.
But this was just a theory, with no substantial scientific basis, let alone transcending a thousand years. But if he hadn't transcended time, then what was going on? A multiverse?
He thought of many answers in his mind. Currently, the more reliable ones were transcending time and the multiverse, and these two points required him to go to Earth for on - site inspection to know. He operated the shuttle, reversed the engine, and started to decelerate. If he didn't decelerate, the current state of the shuttle wouldn't be able to reach Earth and would disintegrate.
After six hours of deceleration, he finally controlled the speed to 1,000 kilometers per second and then stopped decelerating, gliding at this speed. Currently, the fuel was urgent, with only a little left. Currently, he was about 4.68 astronomical units (about 700 million kilometers) away from Earth. He needed to start decelerating when approaching the Moon, reducing to the third cosmic speed, so that he could land on Earth.
After entering the space age, all distance units on spaceships were replaced with astronomical units instead of kilometers. Especially after the war victory, humanity experienced another technological explosion, developing light - speed spaceships and gaining the ability of interstellar navigation. The combat radius of its most powerful stellar - class battleship could reach 5 light - years.
Ten days later.........
He reached the Moon. During this period, he conducted a full - scale scan and investigation of Jupiter and Mars, finding no signs of life, not even traces of the detector's radio waves.
There were traces of human landing on the Moon, but no space stations or survey points were detected. There were very few satellites orbiting Earth. He also reached the low - Earth orbit. Currently, his fuel was exhausted, and his speed had dropped to 100 kilometers per second. If he landed at this speed, he would only be able to choose to parachute after entering the atmosphere, as a landing at this speed would most likely cause the spaceship to crash.
"Beep, beep, warning, collision imminent, activate emergency collision mode, 3, 2, 1, collision!!" Just as he was thinking about the landing plan, his shuttle collided with a satellite. Due to exhausted fuel, he couldn't avoid it and crashed into it. The explosion from this collision accelerated the shuttle.
He was rapidly descending.
"Distance to the ground: 38,000 kilometers, 37,000 kilometers, descent rate too fast, please decelerate. Distance to the ground: 34,000 kilometers, please decelerate." The man ignored the alarms one by one. He walked to the rear 降落仓 (landing module), put on the speed - reducing equipment.
He had to seize the opportunity to parachute at an altitude of 40,000 meters, then use the speed - reducing suit to decelerate, and then open the parachute. Otherwise, the huge inertia would instantly tear the parachute. Landing directly at this speed would definitely kill him. However, the current speed exceeded 100 kilometers per second. At an altitude of 40,000 meters, an error of a fraction of a second would send him to hell.
"Warning!!! Collision imminent, altitude: 100,000 meters."
As soon as he heard the alarm, he immediately opened the 仓门 (cabin door) and jumped down, then spread his body in the air like a big character.
"Current speed: 1,000 meters per second, speed too fast, please decelerate." The man looked at the calculation result of the holographic assistant on his arm and fell silent. His current physical condition couldn't sense the surrounding magnetic field at all. He couldn't do anything and could only decelerate naturally.
"Current speed: 600 meters per second, distance to the ground: 1,700 meters." The man saw this and directly chose to open the parachute. As expected, the parachute only held on for a while after fully opening before breaking.
"Current speed: 97 meters per second, distance to the ground: 680 meters."
"Distance to the ground: 500 meters, 350 meters, 120 meters, prepare for collision." At the moment of landing, the man activated his biological field, greatly reducing the impact force. Even so, the impact made his eyes go black from the pain.
He struggled for a long time, barely stood up, took off the equipment on his body, and stumbled. He didn't know how far he walked. Finally, he couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep leaning against a big tree.
