夜空澄澈如洗.

There is no large gravitational field around the asteroid and it is far away from other celestial bodies, so there is no big star visible with the naked eye. When the fake sun of the artificial energy tower turns to the other side, the sky will feel like it is covered with broken diamonds. When the sky is clear, it is as if it is within reach.

The temperature here is always comfortable 24 degrees Celsius, the night wind is always gentle, and you will never receive a few words from aliens, and you will always be silent.

这里是一座太空监狱.

In ancient times, people built the most severe prisons on deserted islands, surrounded by sea to prevent prisoners from escaping. In the interstellar era, people built the most severe prisons on asteroids and space stations far away from the waterway, and surrounded by thick shielding nets to isolate all signals inside and outside.

Squatting in a prison on an isolated island, if you have good health and luck, jump into the sea and escape from prison, there is still a glimmer of hope. But how can people in the space prison escape from gravity and fly into the vast universe?

Lin Jingheng originally thought this was a free score question. According to the general practice, just kill the "jailer".

This is his old profession. He started planning from the day he could barely control his body and stand up with the wall and walk for a while. Opium chips are very powerful, can make people extremely powerful, accurately control electronic equipment, and create illusions. The latter two are technical problems. His temporary alliance Dr. Harden can be responsible for solving it. As for the infinite power, it is not an obstacle for Lin Jingheng. He wanted to kill someone and escape from prison, and did not intend to win in the arm wrestling competition.

But soon, he found that it wouldn't work because Lin Jingshu had no room for anything to do.

Everything on this asteroid is self-sufficient and has a very complete ecological circulation system. It can be lived for thousands of years. The entire planet uses inefficient energy. Even if General Lin has boundless magic power and can assemble a mecha with brain waves, it cannot fly into the sky.

Those "jailers" were like him, and they had no means to communicate with the outside world, and they were even worse than him, the prisoner. They had to work every day to maintain a clean and livable environment in this space prison.

Lin Jingheng didn't believe it at first because this phenomenon was illogical and not human nature. Putting a group of people with ulterior motives into a confined space, it is impossible for these people to live step by step like ants. They are generally like the poisonous insects in the legendary Gujiao, and it is not surprising that they do anything to each other. After Lin Jingheng woke up, he had at least ten months to re-work his body and recover with difficulty. How could these "jailers" trapped here because of him not want his life?

But the strange thing is that these jailers are really like diligent ants. The guards patrol and duty every day, and the medical team takes care of him thoughtfully - anyway, it is much better than the broken hospital in the Eighth Galaxy that can get patients out of the medical cabin by themselves.

It was not until this time that Lin Jingheng discovered the terribleness of this space prison.

Here, except for him and Dr. Harden, everyone has implanted chips. The chips seem to have invaded the "source code" of these people's brains, rewritten them like rewriting programs. Even though they communicate very normally in daily life, have different personalities, some people have a high professional level and can even be called erudite humor... But they do not have the awareness of "leave here" in their minds.

Every time we talk about related topics, the conversation becomes a commonplace, and the other party is unnaturally unable to understand this concept.

When Lin Jingshu left, she not only destroyed all the equipment on this planet that could be free from gravity, but also cleaned up the human brain.

On this planet, he and Dr. Harden are the only ones who will make the action of "looking up at the stars".

Lin Jingheng walked up to the roof of the stairs, and the rushing wind blew up the hem of his shirt.

His 200th attempt to crack the blocking network failed, and the signal sent by him fell into the sea.

However, his emotions are still stable - anyone who has experienced more than two thousand failures will be very stable. Lin Jingheng lit a cigarette for himself, squinted his eyes, and soaked it in the white smoke one by one. The tobacco leaves are grown on the planet. The guards picked it back and dried it and rolled it in a paper roll. It can be made of it, but the taste is a bit choking, and the cigarette roll looks very simple. Lin Jingheng feels that he is living more and more like a prehistoric savage.

"Can't imagine it," someone behind him suddenly said, "Our Earth ancestors lived on a planet that was not much bigger than this. They were trapped on the ground by gravity for generations. Every night, countless people raised their heads and looked at the Milky Way pressing on their heads. But like those chip people, they never thought that the earth was a 'space prison' and would only tell fortunes about the stars, and never wanted to escape outside."

As soon as Lin Jingheng turned his head, Dr. Harden's wheelchair rolled over smoothly. He became older, becoming a ball of flesh that could not see clearly. Lin Jingheng was always afraid that he would pass by without getting up in one breath.

"So, what is freedom?" Dr. Harden continued, "You raise a bug that is alive and dies in a small cottage of several square meters. It dies before it can climb the border once. It is on the road all its life. Do you say it is free? You now have a whole planet, and those people below, you ask them to grow tobacco, and they dare not grow wheat, but you still feel that you are imprisoned. Who is more sad about you or the bug?"

Lin Jingheng paused and replied calmly: "'I could have tolerated darkness if I hadn't seen the sun.'"

"'But the sun has made me desolate, becoming a new desolate... I have sipped the mellowness of life, and what I have paid, tell you, no more or less, a whole life." Dr. Harden quietly followed his voice, "An ancient poem that your grandfather likes very much."

Lin Jingheng sighed silently and thought to himself: It's time for the fuck again.

Dr. Harden is too old. Although his mind is enough for most of the time, he is also confused occasionally. He always brings out the glorious past of his youth every now and can always talk about his grandfather Linger. Lin Jingheng listened to the same story a hundred times, and Lin Jingheng was too lazy to pretend to listen carefully.

He sat down on the spot, blew up the ash downstairs, and continued to think about how to break through the blocking network, using Dr. Harden's nagging as background rap music.

"In the last era, eight major galaxies were filled with smoke. Some people occupied a planet and several satellites around them and called themselves a regime. They fought and fought every day, and were very cruel. The people were imprisoned on the ground like you and me, and they were not free in their lives. We were gathered in a small space station at the beginning, which was... Later, Angel City Fortress. At that time, Brother Lin was one of the backbones. Woolf and I were young and were his little followers."

"I remember Brother Lin said that he wanted everyone in the world to be born with the same dignity, to explore their own boundaries for life, to expand the breadth of life infinitely, and to live according to their own wishes, to express themselves freely, and to come and go to any place in the universe."

The founder of the Declaration of Freedom in the early years wanted to break the cage under people's feet and realize natural human rights and freedoms. However, this goal was too illusory. It was the fact that the Eden Management Committee later did it - using Eden to brainwash everyone into bugs in the cottage, so that they can think of human rights and freedom, and live foolishly and happily.

Lin Jingheng listened to the central idea of ​​the Declaration of Freedom, but he didn't feel that he was not a person who was easily touched. He thought: Generally speaking, there are only two or three common principles for the shielding network in the space prison. Now they have tried countless ways to crack each idea, and they are almost exhausted... Could it be that the years he was wasting his time in the Eighth Galaxy, the technology of the prison shielding network suddenly improved?

It would be fine if there is a super computer that allows him to analyze it. The key is that they are living a primitive life now, and all their ideas are only the guess that a blind cat hits a dead mouse. Every experiment relies on a great fortune. In the past ten years, he may have been close to success countless times, but because everything is done blindly, even if it is one centimeter away from success, they themselves do not know, and they may have failed to change their thinking.

Thinking of this, even if Lin Jingheng felt that his heart had become an ancient well, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Could it be that I have to wait for the unexpected alien to discover this asteroid?

Dr. Harden is still nagging: "...Ringer is our eldest brother and has taken care of many war orphans, including me and Woolf. You know, there have been rumors in the early years that Woolf's attachment to him is too strong, beyond ordinary friends."

Lin Jingheng was frowning and twisting the cigarette butt to the ground, when he suddenly heard this sentence, his thoughts suddenly broke: "..."

What's the thing?

"It is said that Woolf was drunk once and called Brother Lin's name repeatedly." Harden showed a slightly cunning smile on his face, "But they were all stolen. It has not been confirmed that Woolf was a young man and was not a person without restraint. Linger and his wife had a good relationship. After rumors spread, the two of them consciously avoided suspicion and did not appear together. Brother Lin and his wife did not see the birth of the alliance. Your father was born many years later with frozen cells. As soon as he was born, Woolf received custody and always regarded him as his own. He was alone for the rest of his life.

People taught Lu Xin and led Lin Wei to a higher position. When Lu Xin regained the eighth galaxy and became a general, Woolf was less than two hundred years old and had the intention of delegating power to the next generation. I went to see him once, and I said he was too optimistic and the alliance had gone astray. If this continues, the Military Commission will become a tiger in the cage. He will regret it. He doesn't believe me... Until the Garden of Eden is exhausted and the Alliance is difficult to return. Two people who he had high hopes for throughout his life died in the Alliance one after another. The poisonous roots of Eden have been plunged into the bones of eight galaxies. External force must be used to break this situation."

Lin Jingheng: "Is this the reason why he colluded with interstellar pirates to come in and kill people?"

"Only by completely breaking the old can there be new hope. We have already reached a dead end. We must reset everything to zero and start over." Harden said, "He doesn't have much time to fight slowly and reform, and can only take a gamble - Jingheng, telling you all this. I want to ask you, if you find that the outside world has a new pattern after you go out, will you break all this for revenge?"

Lin Jingheng automatically ignored the others and grabbed the point in his words: "What does it mean? Do you have a new idea about how to break the barrier?"

"Fourteen years ago, the asteroid turned around near the star, and the particle flow disturbance woke you up from the sleeping mental network," said Dr. Harden. "It means that the shielding network and anti-interference ability of this planet are not enough to withstand the stellar particle storm. If I was correct, we would turn back to the same position in one month. That is the time when the shielding network is most unstable, and maybe there is a chance."

Qi Mingxing, Galaxy City Base Command Center, Tulan received a message from Lu Biling, which was very surprised.

Lu Bixing rarely contacted her directly. If she had official duties, she would either send documents directly or ask a large group of people to organize meetings.

In recent years, the Eight Galaxies have quelled civil strife, hoarded military equipment, and embarked on the road of being a military force for the whole nation. The military and political parties cooperated without interruption, and there was a tacit understanding of killing and decisive decisions. However, Lu Bixing's personal relationship with Tulan gradually drifted away. The anesthetics in the elevator drowned this friendship and could never go back. The two met occasionally, and one was called "General" and the other was called "General Tulan". They nodded in official business and passed by.

Tulan immediately connects to his personal terminal: "What's the matter?"

"Ment and the others have done a special study on the wormhole area. The expedition team is ready to set off again to verify the theory. I need you to send an armed guard to accompany you." Lu Bixing said, "We don't know what the situation is now. The last time we caught the mecha wreckage. If they go a little further this time, they may encounter other interstellar armed forces. We must be fully prepared."

Tulan responded happily, but was a little surprised - Lu Bixing signed an order to go directly to the command center. There is no need to come to her and say, "Okay, Chief, what instructions do you have?"

Lu Bixing hesitated for a moment: "There is another thing, I want to ask you, did Lin escape from the heart of Rose when he was 'stolen' and had any contact with you until the war suddenly broke out? Will he come to the Eighth Galaxy? Did he plan in advance?"

"Well... Strictly speaking, it's not that we have always had contact. We were still in the Silver Fortress at that time, and we would be intercepted when we sent a signal. We had to get out of the Silver Fortress and re-establish the remote contact we had to re-establish. He would go to the Eighth Galaxy, which was indeed planned in advance. The Eighth Galaxy is not controlled by the Garden of Eden." Tulan said this, remembered something and added, "But his movements were really much faster than I thought. Zhanlu was Zhanlu-what?"

Lu Bixing raised his eyebrows gently - when he picked up Lin Jingheng, Zhanlu's energy was completely consumed, and it was in standby state. Lin Jingheng's ecological cabin had been floating outside the β-star in Beijing for unknown amounts. Moreover, because he had misoperated, Lin Jingheng was forced to lie in the ecological cabin for more than three more months... Can this be considered "fast movement"?

Lu Bixing suspected that Lin Jingheng did not float back according to the planned route, but passed through the wormhole area of ​​the Heart of Rose.

Tulan said: "The specific plan of Zhanluli has records. I have been waiting for the order with Bai Yinjiu, so he knows in detail."

Lu Bixing nodded absent-mindedly to her and cut off the communication - Zhan Lu did not have any records about Lin Jingheng's ecological cabin. Zhan Lu's own explanation was that he was powered off and standby.

But...was it so thoroughly waiting for it?

I always feel that this stupid ai was deleted by artificially.

Lu Bixing thought of this problem at first because he was worried that there would be other people who knew that the wormhole area of ​​Rose Heart would cause safety hazards to the Eighth Galaxy, so he went to Zhanluli to search for the records of that year. Unexpectedly, he accidentally found that some records of Zhanluli had traces of being deleted.

Very scattered, and some of them seem to have something to do with the one-eyed eagle.

The most obvious part, Lu Bixing clearly remembers that at the base of Stinky Sister, Lin Jingheng overturned a whole team of Yuan Yiren alone and was retrieved by him. Shortly after he came back, he seemed to have a fight while being alone with the One-Eyed Eagle. He saw it through surveillance and turned the camera to attract the attention of the two.

But there is no record.

Who deleted it? Why?

Lu Bixingliu reached the cemetery and stood in front of the One-Eyed Eagle's Tomb for a while: "Did you two hide something from me?"

The one-eyed eagle was silent.

At the end of May 293, in the eleventh year of the Eighth Galaxy Independence Era, the Interstellar Expedition Team passed through the wormhole area for the second time and entered the human forbidden zone, the Heart of the Rose.

An asteroid outside the sixth galaxy revolved again fourteen years later to the closest position to the star.

In the same year, the president of the Glorious Regiment, who had held the First Galaxy hostage and confronted the alliance for more than ten years, was assassinated by his subordinates, and the Glorious Regiment officially surrendered.
