Chapter 84: It's so naive(2/2)
"Can I go back?" Her voice was filled with tears.
But no one answered.
They are still flying upward.
Including Curtis, he did not comfort his sister.
Compared to Tracy, who was young and had been doted on by thousands of people since childhood, Curtis could vaguely understand that at this time, they had no choice between going back or moving on.
Everyone could only remain silent.
When a seemingly large piece of space junk passed very close with a red-hot light and left a white trace behind, Tracy couldn't help but sob.
The novelty has long since disappeared, and in this vast expanse of space, a sense of fear of being alone and unable to do anything is constantly coming.
They have begun to understand a certain feeling of those astronauts.
No matter how safe it seems, every trip to space is still an adventure with life as a bet.
Because human beings here are too small and helpless.
Faced with any crisis, they seem to be unable to do anything.
After the gravity gradually disappeared, it was even harder to distinguish up and down, as if he was falling into an abyss that he didn't know when he would hit the bottom.
In this case, everyone can only pray that they can reach their destination safely and quickly.
finally--
They gradually left the dimly glowing atmosphere and came to the dark space filled with countless stars. They could even feel that they were slowing down!
"It should be almost there." Wen Hezhi's slightly relieved voice also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
This journey to space actually lasted just over an hour, but the further they went, the more difficult they felt.
Deadly silence, emptiness, and helplessness, as if separated from the whole world.
If it lasts longer, they don't know whether they can bear it.
At this time, everyone was raising their heads vigorously, somewhat impatiently, wanting to search for the end of the trip.
They saw it soon.
It is a small bright spot, like a lighthouse under the sea, providing guidance on the way forward and peace of mind for every ship sailing in the night.
As the distance got closer, they could already vaguely see what the bright spot was.
A pitch-black ball with a diameter of about two or three meters. On the side facing them, there was a ball emitting orange-red light. That was the bright spot they had just seen, which was quietly suspended in the space elevator.
end.
However, at this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Shen Shi.
Yes, Shen Shi was floating quietly on the right side of the ball.
Wearing simple clothes, the posture is suspended.
Compared to them, who all looked pale and staggered, unable to control their manners in this weightless environment, Shen Shi was as relaxed as an empty god.
"How did you feel about this trip?" Shen Shi's voice reached their ears through the space suits, and simultaneous translations were made.
These people looked at each other.
Curtis wanted to smile and say something, but he didn't feel very good at the moment, not to mention, his sister was still crying.
"It's very uncomfortable." Shen Shi said this on their behalf, "You must be thinking that if you were in a protected space capsule and came up through the space elevator, you wouldn't feel this way. You lack
Safe enough protection.”
In fact, many people really think so.
The way I came up this time was like being tied up with a rope and ascending in an elevator shaft.
But if there is an elevator cabin, it is completely different.
A safe elevator cabin with small windows where you can sit and eat, or even listen to music and watch movies.
"The elevator cabin is indeed useful." Shen Shi shook his head, "But in fact, the space elevator itself has a certain protective effect. When tiny space junk approaches at high speed, it will be automatically bounced away by the force field, but when it reaches a certain scale
, such as the satellite debris you just saw, even if there is an elevator cabin, it doesn’t mean much.”
Some people couldn't help but feel their throats rolling.
So, there was still a chance that they were killed just now?
As long as the passing satellite debris hits the bullseye?
"Mr. Shen, we will launch a space debris cleanup plan as soon as possible." A representative was very smart. "No matter how much we pay, we will never let these space debris hinder the advancement of the project."
Yes, they all know now that Shen Shi has a big project in his hands to defend against alien invaders.
This was told to them by Wen Hezhi.
Therefore, from this person's perspective, Shen Shi wanted to express his dissatisfaction with space junk in this way.
However, Shen Shi's expression did not move.
From Todd's perspective, the Mr. Shen in front of him seemed to be back to the first time he came into contact with him on the spaceship. He was serious and indifferent, and his aura was so cold that it was scary.
Therefore, Tao Decai didn't say anything at all.
He vaguely felt that this state was not as simple as the so-called "working state" at all.
really--
Shen Shi did not respond to the person who spoke out at all, nor did he talk about the so-called "space junk".
"I know." His voice carried a certain sense of oppression, "Some of you, or some of the people you represent, have placed their hopes on my spaceship, hoping to obtain an escape plan.
