Chapter 165 Hibernation Begins
Zhang Man followed Wu Pengxing silently.
Through the crowd, she entered a metal passage.
"Xiaoman, your name is Xiaoman, right?" Wu Pengxing's voice sounded.
The passage was very empty, and even a little echo came.
"Yes." Zhang Man nodded slightly and replied in a low voice.
The two fell into silence again.
Gradually, the passage came to an end.
Looking at the second Xuannv on the apron in front of him, Zhang Man's eyes suddenly widened and stood there in a daze.
The second number of Xuannv is obviously too shocking for a child of her age.
"Wu...Uncle Wu, where are we going?"
Zhang Man swallowed slightly, and his slightly childish voice was filled with panic.
Wu Pengxing chuckled: "Wait for enough, let's go to Africa."
...
Africa.
[Tower of Babel] The bottom of the space elevator.
A large city built around the Tower of Babel.
Due to geographical factors, the local temperature has exceeded 50 degrees Celsius at this moment.
Under such high temperatures, almost all plants and animals are facing a life-and-death crisis.
There are no pedestrians on the streets of the city.
There were only one fast-moving truck and trains running along the track.
Above the city, there are Xuannv II starships shuttled back and forth.
In order to increase the efficiency of material transportation, there are basically no real residents in the entire city except for some managers.
There are only a large number of robots and robotic arms.
Under zero remote control, countless robots and robotic arms transport supplies to the huge space elevator.
Subsequently, the electricity provided by the helium trifusion reactor drove the space elevator and transported countless materials into space.
Unlike in the past, the sky above the Tower of Babel city seemed particularly busy.
The Xuannv 2 came from all directions.
Under the control of zero, these starships enter the corresponding apron in an orderly manner.
...
"Is this the Tower of Babel..."
Zhang Man looked blankly at the scene outside the window through the porthole.
A thin rope connecting the two ends suddenly appeared between heaven and earth!
"How is it? Is it spectacular?" Wu Pengxing chuckled and said, "When I first saw this thing, my reaction was much bigger than you."
While talking, he made a funny expression.
"Puchi." Zhang Man looked at Wu Pengxing's exaggerated expression beside him, and couldn't help laughing.
"How long is the Tower of Babel...?" She leaned over to the porthole and looked up at her head.
The straight thin lines went up until they penetrated the thick clouds.
"If I remember correctly, it should be 91,000 kilometers."
"Wow!" At this moment, Zhang Man finally showed what she should do at this age, "My home is about 50 kilometers away from the county town?"
She frowned and tried to figure out the quantitative relationship.
"Hahaha!" Wu Pengxing smiled and reached out and touched Zhang Man's head.
"I really want to go up and take a look..." Zhang Man murmured to himself.
Hearing this, Wu Pengxing's eyes showed a hint of regret.
He shook his head: "It's a pity that you don't have this luck this time."
"In order to speed up transportation efficiency, the acceleration of the Tower of Babel is currently unbearable for humans." Wu Pengxing added, "except under the protection of the hibernation compartment."
"Maybe, you will have this opportunity in the future."
Zhang Man nodded silently and withdrew his gaze.
"Captain Wu, we are almost here!"
A reminder came from the side.
Wu Pengxing quickly corrected his expression, turned his head to Zhang Man beside him and said, "Xiaoman, sit down, we are about to land."
"I was entrusted by your parents and I must send you into the hibernation cabin safely."
Hearing this, Zhang Man's eyes fainted slightly.
Wu Pengxing twitched the corners of his mouth, and he resisted the urge to slap himself in a mouth.
Why can't you pick up any pot without opening it?
...
A Xuannv II starship slowly flew towards the b45 tarmac under the strong sunlight.
Under the control of zero, its flight trajectory is extraordinary and stable.
Decelerate, hover, land.
A series of operations were completed in one go.
In order to avoid being scalded by the high temperature outside the starship, after the landing of Xuannv II, a hemispherical light shield automatically rose on the surrounding ground.
The refrigeration system was started, and after the surrounding temperature dropped to normal levels, the cabin door of Xuannv No. 2 slowly opened.
Zhang Man followed Wu Pengxing and took the lead in stepping out of the second Xuannv number.
Looking at the slightly narrow space around, Zhang Man threw a puzzled expression at Wu Pengxing.
The next moment, a hole suddenly broke into the ground in front, revealing an electric escalator leading to the ground.
Such a technological scene naturally shocked Zhang Man and other children.
For a moment, bursts of screams rang out one after another.
"Cough cough!" Wu Pengxing coughed hard, "Everyone, be quiet."
"Now, we are heading to the underground base of the Tower of Babel."
"After the physical examination, you will enter the hibernation compartment and start a 50-year hibernation process."
...
The content of the physical examination is simple, but it is also very important.
Resistance to hibernin.
Simply put, it is to detect whether the human body will produce antibodies against hibernin independently.
Although the probability is very low, there are actually not many such people in the face of absolute cardinality.
This type of person is collectively called hibernating insulators.
As the name suggests, they are insulated from hibernation and can never enter hibernation unless new technologies appear.
In a sense, this is extremely cruel.
Facing their companions, their families entered hibernation one after another, but these hibernation-insulated people could not enter hibernation and could only die in the starship silently.
Hibernator wakes up and finds that his original friends or family have turned into ashes.
Hibernation and insulated people are rushing to death alone in endless loneliness and loneliness.
Such a thing will be a huge blow to both sides.
Fortunately, there were no so-called hibernation insulators among the children brought by Wu Pengxing.
After the physical examination, everyone entered their hibernation cabins one by one.
Unlike adults' hibernation cabins, children's hibernation cabins should be one model smaller, which also means that spacecraft of the same size can transport more people.
...
05:00
04:59
Zhang Man lay quietly in the hibernation compartment, waiting for the countdown in front of him to end.
At this moment, her grandfather suddenly sounded in her mind.
The little bits and pieces of the past emerged in my mind.
When she thought of opening her eyes again and everything would change to the same appearance, a teardrop appeared in the corner of Zhang Man's eyes again.
00:00
Countdown cleared.
The arm hurt slightly.
After a few seconds, her consciousness began to blur.
The crystal tears slowly slid down her cheeks, and the indicator light of the hibernation cabin lighted up with a green light.
Chapter completed!
