Chapter 3: The Rising Sun


Another day passed, and when there was a glimmer of light in the sky, Ding Chen was suddenly awakened by a sound from outside.He quickly reached into his arms, and after touching the void, he came to his senses completely.Touching the soft bed under him, Ding Chen smiled bitterly, slowly relaxed his body, and lay back on the mattress.To be honest, this mattress is a little too soft, which makes Ding Chen, who is used to sleeping on hard beds, very unaccustomed.But there is no doubt that it is much more comfortable than sleeping in the wild.After grinding in bed for a few minutes, the will regained the upper hand.Ding Chen rolled over and sat up from the bed.There wasn't enough open space in the room, so he did his daily soft gymnastics on the bed, then got up and washed his face with cold water.It is located inland, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and in the summer, when the sun is fierce, the outdoor temperature may exceed 40 degrees, but after the sun goes down, the temperature will soon drop below 20 degrees, and the inexperienced person who spends the night in the field is likely to suffer from hypothermia and then collapse when the night comes.Lying on the cat's eye and glancing out, Ding Chen found that there was a young man on the chair in the corridor outside the door, who was napping with a shotgun.Ding Chen doesn't quite understand the mentality of these people, they will take in strangers, and the rent is very fair, which can be said to be very cheap.But they are also very wary of strangers, and will even allocate insufficient manpower to guard them.He hesitated, did not open the door to disturb the young man's good dreams, and took up sit-ups on the floor beside the bed.Half an hour later, he got up from the ground and wiped the sweat off his body.Take out a round steel lunch box with handles, take out a small pocket, carefully pour out some corn kernels, put them in the lunch box and add water, sit on the biogas stove, skillfully light the biogas, and start cooking porridge for yourself.The corn was found nearby and was supposed to be a crop grown by the people of the apartment.In addition to corn, they also planted some other crops, but none of them were yet ripe, so Ding Chen only broke a few corn cobs and rubbed off the corn kernels and brought them to his body.The calorific value of biogas is not as good as that of natural gas, but the water in the lunch box still tumbles quickly.Ding Chen turned the flame to the lowest setting, used a stainless steel spoon to start stirring constantly, and if he found that the water foam in the lunch box was rising too fast, he would take the lunch box down and cool it down.When the aroma of polenta spread, he took out some more jerky, tore them up and threw them in.These jerky, salted, can be preserved for a long time, and are his main by-product.After cooking the porridge, he used a piece of cloth to cushion the handle of the lunch box and brought it to the bedside.There was a thick journal and a stacked map.It was given to him by his dad yesterday in exchange for that box of cigarettes.After returning from the restaurant yesterday, Ding Chen fell asleep after his routine bedtime workout, so he hadn't opened it yet.The owners of these two things have been to the city over there, and they have gained a lot.According to Daddy, he was a very powerful person.But one day, this very powerful man never returned.Later, Dad heard some rumors that this man's harvest was eye-catching, so he was ambushed.The morning light filled the room, and the wind blew in through the open window, circled the room, and flew out with the aroma of polenta.Ding Chen cautiously unfolded the map, looked at the logo made by the previous master, and was stunned for a while.It's a mimeographed map, overprinted in four colors, not beautiful, but it's clear enough, and the scale is large enough.To Ding Chen's regret, there were no common markers such as printed edition dates on the corners of the map, which completely frustrated his hopes of obtaining additional information.After the polenta cooled down, Ding Chen put away the map, picked up the lunch box, and slowly began to drink the porridge with a small spoon.His eyes stayed on the notebook that he had never opened.It's been three years since he woke up in this era, and he has recovered most of his memories and adapted to his new surroundings.But there are still a lot of questions that need to be solved, including what happened to this world and why he left the orbital space station and returned to the ground.He estimated that he had been asleep for a long time, because according to the theory he knew, after a long period of cryogenic sleep, his cerebral cortex would have some protective reactions, which led to memory loss, a phenomenon known as deep space amnesia.The state in which he first woke up fits this description exactly, and according to the principle that the longer he sleeps, the slower his memory returns, he must have been asleep for quite a long time, the only pity is that there is no comparison table for this matter, so he has no way to judge the actual time.At least in his memory, the scientific level of human beings has not been able to solve the problem of amnesia in deep space, and he can only expect the brain of the amnesiac to actively recover its function, and as for the part of the memory that cannot be recovered, I am afraid that it will be lost forever.This made Ding Chen feel very annoyed, he had so many memories to lose, but he lost the most important part, he couldn't remember what happened in the end.Judging by what has been gathered so far, he can be sure that he is not on a combat mission, not only because he did not wake up with combat equipment, but also because he found himself in an emergency evacuation capsule, not an orbital assault capsule.In fact, this is a good thing for him, because the orbital assault module will eject the crew from a certain height above the ground and parachute, in which case, he will not have a chance to sleep.The strange thing is that even in the emergency evacuation chamber, he is still lying in the life support tank.This is not a normal situation.The life-support tank in the emergency evacuation chamber is not standard, and for the fixed system of the evacuation chamber, the life-support tank is too large and heavy.Ding Chen estimated that there was a serious collision during the landing of the evacuation cabin, so the survival trough came out of the fixed clamp and stuck in the corner of the evacuation cabin.This made it take a lot of extra effort for Ding Chen, who had woken up, to come out of the life support trough, and considering his state at the time, this incident almost killed him directly.Later, when he regained his memory of the operation of the shack, he found that the control chip of the slot did not set the time for him to wake up.By design, in the absence of a waking time, the sleeper will only wake up when someone wakes up or when a specified unexpected situation occurs.Unexpected circumstances here include, but are not limited to, such as breakage of the slot; deterioration of physical function in the sleeper; and so on.Ding Chen's life support tank was not damaged, and his own physical function was also very good.The tank is also automatically connected to the wireless energy transmission system of the evacuation chamber.The evacuation chamber was designed with the landing environment in mind, so it has the ability to convert solar and air energy, and if it is unfortunate enough to burrow into lava, it can even directly convert heat energy to generate electricity as long as it is not melted.Later, Ding Chen found that the reason why he was awakened was that there was a problem with the energy supply of the life support tank, and the reason for the failure was very simple, the electronic components designed to cope with the extremely harsh conditions were aging and could not continue to supply enough power, so the life support tank woke him up.Ding Chen is not a mechanical and electrical professional, but he also understands what this means, and it is clear that he has been sleeping in the life support tank for at least nearly a hundred years.A dream for a hundred years, for a person, I don't know whether it is luxury or cruelty.aa2705221,,; mobile phone reading,
