Watching the proposal scene of Mecha No. 9 replay over and over again, Li Sujia realized that she and it had entered an infinite loop of dead ends.
This repetitive deadlock lasts only 30 seconds from start to finish. Its end is also the beginning, and it will never end.
In this peculiar "closed time-like" space-time, time has completely reached its end. Once something happens, it will repeat itself over and over again in an infinite loop. The termination of time prevents anything from happening again.
Only the second before the proposal occurs, that is, before entering the infinite loop, Li Sujia has a short memory.
Mecha No. 9 also seemed to be aware of this. Its situation was slightly different from hers. It only had a short-term memory one second after the proposal ended. After that, it and she were forcibly pulled back into the infinite loop. .
Li Sujia suddenly realized it after the proposal scene was repeated twice, but by the time she wanted to stop it, the cycle had been repeated more than 10 times.
Now, this must be stopped. This was the determination she made in the brief second before the cycle started again.
Another cycle was about to begin. The moment Mecha No. 9 entered the cockpit door, she immediately activated the close button, and the door also closed.
But her efforts were in vain and the cycle began again.
Although she activated the hatch closing button one second before the cycle, it did not change the status of the cycle, and it still cycled repeatedly...
In this strange time and space, time has lost its meaning, her efforts will not be recorded by time, and her actions will be completely overwritten as the cycle begins.
Mecha No. 9 also tried to change this endless cycle. In the brief one second after the cycle ended, its expressions were different, as if it was trying hard to think of ways to change this dilemma, but in the cycle At the end of time, that is, at the end of time, it is powerless to change anything.
In fact, the end of the cycle and the end of time where it is located is also the beginning of the cycle and the beginning of time. However, it coincides with Li Sujia's time point at the moment after the end of the cycle. This can be compared to a painting. A closed circle whose starting point and end point coincide after drawing the circle.
Li Sujia was trying hard to think of a way out of her predicament, and the cycle repeated itself more than 30 times during this brief period of thinking.
At the end of another cycle, Mecha No. 9 pointed its finger at its own head, and it made a motion to kill itself. Obviously, it had had enough of this cycle that made it extremely desperate.
Maybe by doing this, the cycle will end.
In fact, it also has another purpose, that is, after sacrificing itself and ending this abominable cycle, time will erase the incident of its proposal. Firstly, she will escape from the infinite loop, and secondly, she will also There will be plenty of time to try to escape the fate of being sucked into the black hole.
Before it and her entered an infinite loop, the gas giant enveloped the space vehicle and fell towards the black hole at high speed. It and she only had 1 hour and 50 minutes left to survive. On the macroscopic time scale with the space vehicle as a reference Next, maybe there are only dozens or even ten minutes left.
Time means life to her, and she cannot delay it for a moment.
To sacrifice itself and save her is its most urgent desire in that brief moment at the end of the cycle over and over again.

At the end of the cycle, it made the same move to kill her, but she refused again and again. Every time she shook her head in pain, in an instant, she and it fell into an endless cycle again. .
How could she bear to kill it?
Time passed minute by minute, and at the moment after each cycle ended, Mecha No. 9 became anxious. It felt that on a macroscopic time scale, there might not be much time left for the spacecraft to fall into the black hole. .
It judged correctly. The cycle has been repeated dozens of times. The spacecraft has entered the one-way membrane zone, which also means that it has only one way, which is to fall into the endless black hole forever.
Three minutes later, she will be torn into pieces by the black hole's gravitational field and crushed into a pile of high-energy particles in a very short time.
A moment after the end of another cycle, Mecha No. 9 pulled the trigger, and it killed itself with an electromagnetic pulse gun.
But the result it expected did not appear. Just like when Li Sujia closed the hatch before, time erased what it had done.
It doesn't die and the cycle begins again.
At the end of each cycle, she and it could briefly sense each other's state of mind. She had an expression of joy, and the joy was that it was not dead, while it had a look of despair and helplessness.
It did not give up its efforts to encourage her to try to escape. In every brief moment, it came up with different ideas for her. Even though it was just expressions and gestures, it tried its best to make her understand its thoughts.
At this moment, on the macroscopic time scale using the space vehicle as a reference, there is not much time left before she is torn apart into a pile of high-energy particle flows by the gravitational field of the black hole.
There are only a short 30 seconds left.
After going through the cycle over and over again, Li Sujia finally understood the meaning of Mecha-9. It asked her to drop five 20-megaton nuclear bombs into the hydrogen material of the gas giant planet accreted by the black hole, trying to detonate it in this way. The nuclear fusion reaction of hydrogen material uses the shock wave generated to push the spacecraft away from the gravitational field of the black hole.
This method is completely feasible. This gas giant planet that has been completely accreted by the black hole has a large amount of hydrogen material.
Although its mass of 30 times that of Jupiter is not enough to sustain the nuclear fusion reaction of hydrogen fusion into helium in the core, this black hole is not an ordinary black hole. It is a Kerr-Newman type black hole. In addition to having an ultra-high density, it also has A large amount of charge and high speed rotation.
Under the dual effects of ultra-high density and ultra-strong charge, the hydrogen material accreted by this type of black hole is forcibly compressed together. Once a certain number of nuclear bombs are used to detonate in the center of the hydrogen material, it will inevitably trigger the nuclear explosion of the hydrogen material in the area. When the fusion reaction occurs, the thrust generated by its shock wave is enough to break through the gravitational field of the black hole and push the small spacecraft away from the black hole.
But this method has a prerequisite and comes with huge risks.
The prerequisite is that when the nuclear bomb is released, the space vehicle has not completely crossed the one-way membrane area of the black hole. Once this becomes an established fact, even if the hydrogen material is increased tens of thousands of times and the number of nuclear bombs is increased by tens of thousands, it will not be able to push the space vehicle away from the black hole. .
The huge risk is that once the nuclear fusion reaction of hydrogen material is detonated, the small space vehicle is likely to be swallowed up by the nuclear fusion reaction.
It all requires luck.

Are you on the side of Li Sujia and Mecha No. 9?
Li Sujia decided to try the method of Mecha No. 9. Anyway, if you fall into a black hole, you will be shattered to pieces, and if you are swallowed by the nuclear fusion reaction, you will be destroyed. Compared with the two, maybe giving it a try will give you hope of survival.
Maybe, a miracle will happen.
What Li Sujia didn't know was that just when she decided to take the risk, on the macroscopic time scale of the spacecraft, she only had 40 seconds left before she would be torn apart by the black hole into a stream of high-energy particles.
At this moment, a new cycle has just begun and will end in 30 seconds. It seems that the time left for her is only 10 seconds, but in fact it is only 1 second, because after 1 second, the next cycle will begin, and the more terrible thing is Yes, she only has one chance.
If she misses it, she will lose hope of living forever.
Moreover, in a short period of 1 second, she must react immediately and activate 5 nuclear bombs!
This is almost an impossible task. The nuclear bombs are activated one by one. No matter how fast they are, it is impossible to press 5 start buttons in 1 second.
She didn't even have time to think, one second flew by and she had to take action!
30 seconds later, the cycle ended. Li Sujia activated the buttons for three nuclear bombs like lightning. Before she could press the other two buttons, the next cycle began again.
She missed her chance to live.
The three launched nuclear bombs hit the accreted hydrogen material within 2 seconds. After the dazzling bright light, more violent explosions occurred in a small area inside the black hole. The entire area was pale, and the hydrogen material was destroyed. It detonated, creating a nuclear fusion reaction.
The turbulent shock wave generated by the nuclear fusion reaction spread rapidly in all directions from a small area of the black hole. Although the shock wave rushing into the black hole was instantly swallowed up by the black hole, the shock wave rushing to the periphery pushed the spacecraft outward. Fly away at high speed...
It breaks through the black hole's gravitational field.
Li Sujia succeeded, and the goddess of luck favored her. She favored her more than once. The first time was when only three nuclear bombs were used to detonate the nuclear fusion reaction of hydrogen material; the second time was when the nuclear fusion reaction did not swallow up the space vehicle.
Sometimes, hesitation can lead to missed opportunities; a desperate move can save the day.
What seems to be luck is actually the courage and determination to risk death and survive.
The shock wave generated by nuclear fusion not only pushed the spacecraft out of the edge of the black hole and broke away from the black hole's gravitational field, but also gave it an initial acceleration that pushed it 0.35 light-years away.
Breaking free from the shackles of the black hole also means that Li Sujia and Mecha No. 9 have escaped the clutches of the "closed time line" of the strange ring. Their microscopic timeline has been re-extended to the macroscopic timeline and is based on macroscopic time. .
The infinite loop disappeared, and it was frozen at the moment when Mecha No. 9 stepped into the cockpit holding a homemade rose tied with a straw.
It was at this moment that Li Sujia noticed that the date on the flight control platform was beating crazily. The moment it stopped, she was dumbfounded. The date showed New Era 2309, and she clearly remembered that when the spacecraft was hit by a black hole, Prior to gravitational field capture, the date is New Era 2306.
From the time the spacecraft was captured by the black hole's gravitational field to the time it finally escaped, it only took 3 hours at most. How could a full 3 years have passed?
