Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 111 to the future
"Old man, is this necessary?" Yang Yi asked after Lin Feng left.

"What do you know kid?"

"you……"

Yang Yi just opened his mouth, but before he could react, Yang Chengzhi grabbed his wrist.

"Old man, what are you doing?"

"Not bad, not bad, not bad!" With a chuckle, Yang Chengzhi let go.

"What's good?"

"Why, are you still pretending to me?" Yang Chengzhi sized Yang Yi up and said with a smile, "Now, do you believe the story I told?"

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and his brows were immediately locked together.

"If you want to know more, just follow me."

Seeing Yang Chengzhi get up, Yang Yi hesitated for a moment before getting up and following.

Not long after, the two came to the basement.

"Old man, why did you bring me here?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Yang Chengzhi went to the corner and fiddled with the wall, and the floor in the center of the basement was moved to the two sides, revealing a deep underground passage.

Yang Yi was very surprised because he had lived here for 18 years and never knew the existence of this tunnel.

"I know, you kid can't hide things in your heart. Since you brought her to see me, you must have told her everything you should and shouldn't say." Yang Chengzhi walked over, looked Yang Yi up and down, Only then did he say, "If you say it, you can say it, but you have to keep your mouth shut in the future."

"old man……"

"Let's go."

Yang Chengzhi got into the tunnel first, and Yang Yi was full of doubts, but he was also extremely curious, so he followed into the tunnel.

After walking tens of meters, the two came to a spiral corridor.After going down for another hundred meters, a faint light appeared in front of him.Although you can't see your fingers in the tunnel, Yang Yi is a soldier and can see clearly.To Yang Yi's surprise, grandpa could also see clearly.

The light comes from an oil lamp, a naturally formed cave.

The cave is very large, and some household items are placed in a mess. There is a stone table and two stone benches in the open space in the middle, and the oil lamp is placed on the stone table.

"This……"

"Yang Yi, you have grown up, you have found the 'Hope', and you have undergone a transformation. You should know about these things."

Yang Chengzhi's tone suddenly became serious, which made Yang Yi not very used to it.

"sit down."

Yang Chengzhi sat down first, and Yang Yi walked over to the stone bench opposite.

"I know that you have a lot of questions in your mind. What you have seen, heard, and experienced in the past six months may have overturned your worldview."

Yang Yi didn't say anything, but Yang Chengzhi was right.

"Now, let's start from the beginning."

Yang Chengzhi raised his hand, and when Yang Yi noticed the abnormality, a ray of light shot out from Yang Chengzhi's fingertips and stabbed Yang Yi's forehead.

"grandfather……"

"Don't resist, just sleep peacefully."

Yang Yi's eyes widened, and a strong sense of exhaustion rushed into his mind. Although Yang Yi didn't want to close his eyes, he quickly gave up resistance.

It was an irresistible force, but without the slightest malice.

After waking up suddenly, Yang Yi was surprised to find that he was standing behind a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and outside the window was a spaceship with a strange shape, and Yang Chengzhi was standing behind him.Later, Yang Yi realized calmly that he was actually a five-year-old child!
Behind him, Yang Chengzhi is not the familiar appearance of Yang Yi, he looks younger.

"Report to the control tower, 'Discovery' is ready and ready to launch at any time."

"The tower received it, start the launch procedure, and the 60-second countdown begins. 59, 58..."

As the countdown expired, the spaceship outside the window ignited.The place where Yang Yi was located was the control tower, and behind him was the command and control area.

"The main engine ignites and begins to accelerate."

"All systems are normal, and the space curvature propulsion device is activated."

"The space curvature propulsion device is ignited, and the propulsion power is [-]%."

"Report to the tower, the propulsion power has reached 80.00%."

"Bon voyage, Discovery."

……

The spaceship has receded into a great blur.After a flash of light, it disappeared from Yang Yi's vision.Yang Yi also saw that the spaceship did not jump in space, but adopted a more direct method, that is, accelerated by distorting space.Instead of disappearing, the spaceship reaches the speed of light.

A spaceship that travels at the speed of light!

However, Yang Yi knew that it was not the "Hope", but a spaceship larger than the "Hope", and there were two people on the spaceship, a man and a woman.

At this time, a dazzling light flashed.

When the light disappeared, Yang Yi realized that he was in the vast sea of ​​stars. There were stars in all directions, and Yang Chengzhi was standing in front of him.

"grandfather……"

"This is the most memorable thing before you were five years old. To be precise, you were only three years old at the time."

Yang Yi froze for a moment, looked at Yang Chengzhi in disbelief, and realized at the same time that this was his hallucination, or in his conscious space.

"Think about it carefully, do you still remember what happened before you were five years old?"

"This……"

"Yes, but it's all blurry. It's very simple. I imprisoned your memories, because these memories will only bring you great pain."

"Why... this is..."

"It was your own parents who left in that spaceship. 'Discovery' is the second spaceship designed and built by me that can fly at the speed of light, and it is also the first manned spaceship. Although it is not the only choice, but for Going to the future, your parents volunteered to be the first astronauts to travel at the speed of light." Yang Chengzhi took a long breath and said, "They are also my son and my daughter-in-law."

"grandfather……"

"Without this incident, we wouldn't be here." Yang Chengzhi smiled lightly and said, "Theoretically, when the spacecraft flies at the speed of light, the internal time will stop, so taking a spaceship flying at the speed of light can travel to the future." .It was only shortly thereafter that I discovered a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"Flying at the speed of light can stop time, but after deceleration, time will not return to normal."

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Yang Chengzhi incomprehensibly.

"To put it simply, even if the control equipment on the 'Discovery' is operating normally, and it decelerates in a reverse acceleration manner after reaching the destination, the time inside the 'Discovery' will not return to normal. The result of this is that, Astronauts traveling through the universe on the "Discovery" will not wake up from their slumber, and will be unconscious even after reaching their destination. Although they are still alive, they are no different from death."

"This……"

"It was this discovery that made me realize that removing space constraints by increasing speed is simply not feasible. It's just that I care more about them than about them."

"and then?"

"In the next two years, I spent all my savings, found a way to restore time to normal, and built a third spaceship capable of traveling at the speed of light."

Yang Yi was taken aback, and said, "You take me on this spaceship for space travel?"

"Yes."

"But……"

"Although I am your grandfather, every child has parents. Don't ask me why, and don't blame them. If you want to blame, blame me."

Yang Yi was dumbfounded, and suddenly thought of something.

"It seems that you have already thought of it."

"You...you are..."

"That's right, I am Yang Feng, the protagonist in that story, the ancestor of the Yang family."

"No, it's impossible. You are Yang Feng, then I..."

"You are my grandson, Yang Yi."

Yang Yi patted his head hard a few times, trying to wake himself up, because he thought it was a dream.If so, he is from 1 years ago.

is it possible! ?
"I can travel to the future, but I can't predict the future. After I came to this world, I realized that reality is more cruel than I imagined."

"So you imprisoned my memory before the age of five?"

Yang Chengzhi, or Yang Feng nodded, and said: "Although it is unfair to you to do this, in order for you to survive in this strange world, and for you to see the long-lost Parents, I have no choice. Like I said at the beginning, blame me."

"Then why did you tell me?"

"Because you found the 'Hope', there is hope for the future."

"what?"

Yang Feng let out a long breath and said, "'Hope' is the first spaceship I built that can travel at the speed of light, and it is also the only unmanned spaceship. More importantly, 'Hope' carries the changes. The entire human civilization, and even the discovery that changed the Milky Way. Although 1 years have passed, the probability of finding the "Hope" is almost zero, but your discovery on the lava star has changed everything."

"This...what the hell is going on?" Yang Yi was confused, or at a loss.

"It's a long story."

"Don't tell me it's just a dream."

Yang Feng smiled miserably, and said: "This is not a dream, but a communication of consciousness, it looks like a dream."

At this moment, it is no longer possible to describe Yang Yi's mood in words.

"If you want to know how this happened, answer my question first. Do you believe in history?"

Hearing this, Yang Yi was startled, because not long ago, Zhan Ruilin asked the same question, and what he said later completely changed Yang Yi's worldview.

Immediately, Yang Yi thought that Zhan Ruilin had told him that he had a relationship with his grandfather, that is, Yang Feng.

Could it be that Zhan Ruilin was also influenced by Yang Feng?

If all this is true, and the grandfather who accompanied Yang Yi for 18 years turned out to be Yang Feng, the ancestor of the Yang family, and he was an orphan from 1 years ago, then the past of human civilization must be different from the history Yang Yi knows. And there must be a very important reason why Yang Feng came to this era.

The more he thought about it, the more confused Yang Yi's thinking became.

Leaving aside whether he believed all of this or not, just thinking about it made Yang Yi feel incomprehensible, totally unreasonable, like having a nightmare.
