Chapter 335 After Leaving the Mothership

With this jump, a blue ion flame instantly spurted out from behind the power armor, causing Tom to experience an acceleration similar to the gravity of the earth.

Such scenes had been seen many times on TV. Tom was not afraid, but tried to adjust his center of gravity to keep his body balanced.

Ten seconds later, the ion flame gradually disappeared.

His current speed was 100 meters per second, and he was leaving the Deep Space at high speed. His whole body was light and completely weightless. This was the feeling of weightlessness.

This high-speed movement, coupled with the rapidly retreating reference objects around him, gave him a wonderful feeling of speeding.

"Come on, I'm outside, come on!" Turning his head and seeing that he was moving away quickly, Tom shouted excitedly in his headphones.

This shouting, coupled with the teacher's encouragement, stimulated the nerves of other students.

A few timid ones also began to be eager to try, because someone took the lead!

These boys and girls couldn't wait to jump out, and the ion engine behind the power armor helped them accelerate for ten seconds. Of course, according to what the teacher said, they could only experience it for ten seconds.

One minute later, Tom saw all the classmates jumped out, and the power armor emitted blue light, like a star-like firefly.

At this time, 6 kilometers away from the Deep Space, the whole picture of the spacecraft can be clearly seen. It is really magnificent, which completely meets the boys' yearning for the sea of ​​stars...

Only such a large warship can conquer the sea of ​​stars and cross the distance between stars! It is the crystallization of wisdom and sweat, and a great symbol of defeating the "big filter"!

Thinking of this, Tom felt a strong sense of pride and belonging to civilization.

He felt that the teacher's course this time should be to teach them these things...

And below the Deep Space, there is a long strip of structure that leads directly to the metal planet below.

Tom knew that it was the space elevator, responsible for the transportation of finished minerals. But from this angle, it's only this big...

From time to time, there are sporadic lights flashing, which means that more cargo has been transported up... As for cargo, of course the more the better, Tom thought.

2 minutes later, 12 kilometers away from the Deep Space, it still looks this big.

Tom saw a small spaceship rushing out from below with his own eyes, which should be performing some patrol missions.

"This small spaceship is called Yuyan, so cool! Almost the same as in the game, no, cooler than in the game!" Tom thought to himself.

Maybe, when I grow up, it's not bad to join the army and become a pilot.

"But being a pilot also requires theoretical knowledge, which is really troublesome."

Just then, the conversation in the headset began to become sparse, probably because the distance between each other exceeded the radio communication distance.

"Is there anyone else?" Tom couldn't help shouting when he found that the voices in the headset were getting less and less.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Hearing a few responses faintly, Tom was relieved. The Deep Space still looks so huge, bringing enough sense of security, but the space elevator is already vaguely visible.

There is no atmosphere here, the entire starry sky is black, only the endless stars emit a faint light...

It's a very empty world, is this space?

Because there is no surrounding reference, Tom can't even feel that he is moving at high speed...

Three minutes later, 18 kilometers away from the Deep Space, Tom felt a little guilty, the rope tied to his body was too thin.

It's only the thickness of the headphone wire, a few millimeters wide, will it really not break?

Well, he knew very well in his heart that this kind of rope is the raw material of the space elevator, and its safety must be sufficient. At least twenty of himself can't pull it apart.

He is trying to comfort himself that this is just an ordinary space trip, and everyone will go back soon...

Four minutes...He can no longer see any classmates. The brightness emitted by the power armor itself is not enough to illuminate the dim universe, and there is no sound in the headphones.

Even the figure of the Deep Space has become very dim...

Tom has already had an inexplicable fear in his heart. He realized that this is the universe, there is no friction, and the movement of objects will not slow down!

Because of the effect of inertia, they...are getting farther and farther away from their mothership!

"What's going on? Only 4 minutes?" Tom looked at the time on the power armor, and he felt that time was getting slower and slower.

Soon it reached five minutes, and the fear in his heart surged into his heart like a tide. At this distance, the GB131 planet was still so huge, as if nothing had changed.

But... the Deep Space was so small, as if...

He was the only one in the entire universe!

He no longer had the pride of conquering the planet.

Yes, from this distance, the Deep Space was too small, even getting smaller and smaller...

Too far!

What would happen if I was floating in the universe alone? How long could I live?

Once this idea came out, it lingered in my mind and could not be shaken off.

Tom grabbed the rope in horror, trying to pull himself back, but it was useless!

The rope was not stretched straight, it was soft and could not withstand any force!

This gave him another fearful fantasy.

"Impossible!"

"The rope can't break!"

"The teacher won't ignore us! And there are those soldiers!" Tom was still trying to comfort himself. He remembered the pulley with the rope... When the pulley was pulled, more rope would come out, so it must be unloaded!

As time passed, six minutes, seven minutes... Tom's emotions began to collapse quickly. The universe was too empty, and he was completely in fear!

All the pride and excitement had disappeared, replaced by incomparable panic... incomparable insignificance...

No matter how much he comforted himself, he couldn't soothe the fear in his heart.

Tom wanted to turn on the ion engine behind him, but found that he didn't have that authority. The ion engine could only be turned on once? !

He tried everything, but it was useless!

In this case, the fear of a person facing the vast universe began to multiply, and even the Deep Space was left with only a vague shadow.

Even this shadow was disappearing quickly!

What to do?

What to do?

Tom's forehead was sweating, his heart was pounding, he stretched out his hand and tried frantically to shrink the rope.

But why are they soft, why?

Is it really broken?

Or was it because... he was too noisy and was abandoned by the entire civilization?

Tom struggled frantically in the universe. He began to have wild thoughts. The popularization of cosmology over the years gave them enough common sense, but they only remembered it in their hearts and did not feel the same.

It was only at this moment that the group of students all had a common emotion.

This is the world outside the mothership.

What else can they do except cry?

They left the Deep Space, there was no way.

…

Ten minutes later, the female teacher standing on the Deep Space smiled and retracted the rope and pulled them all back. These children cried one by one, and some even collapsed on the deck.

She had anticipated the process of that mentality change. After all... everyone came here like this!

And the existence of the surrounding soldiers was also to prevent accidents.

In just ten minutes, these new generation of children received this unforgettable course...

A course that is a hundred times, a thousand times more effective than the teacher's nagging!

Whether strong or weak, male or female, they were severely beaten by the vast universe.

Indeed, they have had good living conditions since childhood and are loved by their parents. However, what are they without civilization?

What qualifications do they have to be lazy? What qualifications do they have to be proud?

There are many such emergency courses, which are taught from the age of 14. Whether they are willing or not, every child has to accept the fact that individual human beings are so weak.

Only by unity can human beings be a weak spark in the universe!
