Listening to the gentle light music and the rotating starry sky, Shukang and Eva talked about the starry sky and the legends and stories of ancient China and Greece sentence by sentence. Unconsciously, and did not know how long it took, they talked intermittently. The sound stopped, leaving only the soft music and the rotating starry sky, still cooperating together, successfully hypnotizing the three girls.

Xiao Tao had already fallen asleep, clinging to Shu Kang's warm arm; Eva also snored; and Shu Kang's thoughts seemed to be floating on the level of the sea, surging up and down with the waves: one wave rising, After getting out of the water and returning to reality, people are still looking at the "starry sky" on the ceiling; when a wave falls, even the top of their heads is submerged in water, and people fall into a warm, quiet, sticky and moist "dream world" At first, I could still realize that I was in the process of falling asleep; again and again... Later, I could no longer rise to the surface of the "dream sea" and immerse myself comfortably...

"The last flight is about to take off. Passengers who have not boarded the ship are asked to take their seats as soon as possible!"

Shukang heard a series of such broadcasts, and she knew that she was one of the "passengers who did not board the ship". She had just walked backwards through a group of passengers exiting the station, and struggled to push through the group of people before she could break out of a "passage" for herself. She quickly passed through the automatic security check gate, and the facial recognition technology allowed her to pass without hindrance, and rushed out. After entering the terminal, she ran wildly towards the farthest dock - it was a "space shuttle" that could only accommodate 6 passengers. She was the one on the far right.

While running, I looked at the sky. It was a pure black sky with seemingly no atmosphere. All the stars were extremely clear and bright. Each one looked much larger than usual. However, almost none of the stars were I know someone I can't even name.

This launch tower is also magical enough. It is not a traditional upright type, but like a roller coaster, with long twists and turns, high and low serpentine twists and turns. After passing through a complex track line like a three-dimensional maze, it finally ends at the end of the tower. From the "tower" point, there is the end of a thin rail that reaches high into the sky and reaches into the clouds - it is a single rail. From the bottom, it looks like a thin needle inserted into the vast night.

Along the boarding ladder, she received a silver spacesuit with a glass helmet given to her by the extravehicular space shuttle service lady. With their help, she put it on from head to toe, and finally tied the handles at the wrists. The belt was tightened, the glass mask was put down and stuck, and the whole person was completely isolated. Then he clumsily stuffed his fattened self into the C2 position, and then put the safety on the seat around his waist. The belts were fastened. As the door of the ship closed, the passenger cabin began to change its posture. The three rows of six people who were originally sitting on a flat surface now stood upright, with everyone lying on the seats with bent legs. , three-layer human flesh storage rack is average.

"Basically, does this count as falling asleep and going to heaven?" Shukang's biggest synesthesia with this posture was teaching Xiaotao to do the front part of the "Shoulder and Elbow Stand", lying flat on the yoga mat with his legs raised - ——Any movement related to sleeping position makes Shukang feel at ease.

She didn't know why she was in a hurry to catch the last flight of the "space shuttle", nor where she was going to fly to, nor why she didn't feel any surprise or novelty while wearing this bulky space suit. It seemed that It's "natural", just like wearing slimming sportswear when practicing fitness or wearing a beautiful skirt on a date, it's normal.

Then, there was a loud muffled sound from below the whole body. It was as if seven or eight big men were lying on top of him at the same time. The whole person was pressed tightly against the back of the seat, completely helpless. When he moved, even his breathing was forced to pause almost at the same time. All the cells were tense. It is indescribable to describe the feeling of almost losing his mind.

In this way, it kept getting heavier, heavier, faster, faster. Shukang used up all the energy in his body, closed his facial features, clenched his hands into fists, and resisted this unusual oppression with all his strength.

She didn't know how long it took, maybe only a few minutes, but it felt like hours. All the discomfort suddenly disappeared. If she hadn't been wearing a seat belt, she would have felt like she was floating away from her body. Seat.

The back of the front seat in front of her also gradually changed its posture. The seats, which were stacked upright, were pressed down again and became flat and flat parallel to the horizon.

She finally took a long breath, unclenched her fists, opened her eyes, and saw the four round metal helmets in front of her, shining brightly reflecting the light of the white lights in the cabin; only then did she She noticed that the spacesuit, which was too bulky when she put it on just now, no longer had any special weight. Moreover, she could try to twist her head to look at the scenery outside the glass window - it was the scenery of space. , the kind that is not blocked by any haze, the pure black background sky, the kind that all light cannot escape, in the distance, there are a few stars scattered here and there, it seems that all the stars are in one place On the plane, up or down, there is pure black, pure black, endless black...

At this moment, she remembered that there was another passenger sitting next to her on C1. She was extremely nervous from the moment she caught the spaceship, and she hadn't even had time to get to know her "flying friend" this time!

She turned her head and was about to look at the "flying friend" next to her, but she heard a "bang" sound, and the fully transparent and semi-open glass door of the entire spacecraft, like a fighter jet, cracked from the middle, opening towards her. As soon as the canopy structure of the front and rear cabins retreated at the same time, the six people and their seats were ejected directly into the air - into space, turning into six independent small aircraft.

Shukang was frightened again, and his first reaction was to quickly grab the left and right handrails with both hands. But the seat was still rising rapidly. She felt that she could no longer hold her seat aircraft, and she didn't know how to control the flying posture of the chair. In a panic, she pressed the buttons on the armrest randomly, and her "flying chair" became faster and slower, flying up and down, left and right, and sometimes almost collided with the flying chair of another "flying passenger" She quickly opened her eyes wide, freed up one hand and shook it desperately, apologizing for her "unfamiliar skills".

While repeatedly passing by these "flying passengers" who were originally traveling together, she noticed the figures of the other five passengers jumping away from her eyes with ease. She discovered that their flying postures were distinctive: they were all flying in the same direction. He crosses his arms in front of his chest, and then firmly grasps the two hollow armrests next to the seat, which have obvious gripping positions.

"So this is how you can secure yourself! Double insurance, be creative!"

Shukang learned very quickly, and he also crossed his arms in the same way, and grasped the right and left armrests with his left and right hands respectively.
