Build a game empire from scratch

Xu Shenghan's hypoxia is already quite serious.

The surrounding vision became dim and black, only the front could barely see clearly, but he still seemed to have some hallucinations, the things he saw fluctuated from big to small, and even the stars were swaying around.

After being ejected by the space station, he completely turned into a headless fly, and he couldn't find anything to catch.

He really wanted to complain loudly: Where are the aliens? Hurry up and get me!

But he was a little out of breath now, and he didn't have the strength to shout anymore.

Just when he thought that the mission failed and he was about to die to read the file, an extremely abnormal thing suddenly appeared in the center of his increasingly narrow vision:

An artificial creation that may be hundreds of times and a thousand times larger than [Tiangong Space Station]!

His head was dizzy, and everything he saw was becoming blurred, but even if the huge space station was distorted and deformed under the light, it did not affect the impact that its astonishing scale and shape beyond the times brought to Xu Shenghan!

He subconsciously widened his eyes, trying to determine if it was a hallucination.

But the symptoms of hypoxia became more and more serious. The more he widened his eyes, the more blurred the space station in his eyes.

until--

boom!

His back hit a solar panel hard, and he rolled in the air.

Xu Shenghan suddenly came to his senses, and he clasped his hands on the solar panel forcefully, and at the same time his body flew upside down, he tore off one solar panel after another.

After finally slowing down, the safety rope was suddenly torn off the solar panel and dragged into space again.

He turned his head and barely saw that it was his teammate Zhuang Xu.

He was probably hit too badly. He was bounced continuously like a pinball on the outer wall of the space station without slowing down at all. After dragging Xu Shenghan away, he fell headlong into the huge parachute cover of the escape cabin.

Xu Shenghan followed closely behind and plunged into the umbrella.

This time even the final vision was completely blocked. He could only vaguely feel that something tripped over the safety rope in the middle, and his whole body was pulled to change direction. The last connection is thus disconnected.

When rushing out of the parachute, there is no longer any obstacle in front.

Ruined!

Xu Shenghan sighed.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that his speed was decreasing—something strangled his right leg!

Xu Shenghan looked down and found that the originally messy parachute rope entangled his right leg when he passed through it.

But before he was happy, Zhuang Xu's voice suddenly came from the earphone: Hold me!

Xu Shenghan looked up and found that when he lost his vision, Zhuang Xu fell behind somehow and was stretching his arms for help.

He stretched his arms without thinking: Grab!

The two hands successfully touched together.

But the problem that had plagued Xu Shenghan when he was repairing the communication card reappeared—in the case of wearing a space suit, the five fingers are like five short and thick radishes, which are really hard to control.

The two touched hands, but neither could pull the other.

It looked like the two of them stretched out their arms and clapped their hands, and then continued to fly away along their original trajectories.

Fuck! Xu Shenghan cursed angrily on the spot.

But at the same time as his teammates drifted away, a safety rope also floated past his eyes.

!! Xu Shenghan immediately went into battle with both hands, and finally grabbed the safety rope and grabbed the teammate who flew away.

Just the next moment, he himself was dragged by Zhuang Xu and started to move!

Only then did he remember: he hadn't settled down either, just a few ropes wrapped around his legs, and he might be dragged into space at any time!

And, it will be soon!

Boom!

The ropes on his legs were bounced off one by one, and there was no sound in space, but auditory hallucinations sounded in Xu Shenghan's ears.

He is about to be dragged into space by his teammates and go to hell together!

You should let go at this time. Xu Shenghan instantly realized this reality.

But he couldn't make up his mind!

Before he could continue to hesitate, the safety rope in his hand was suddenly loosened, and his whole body was pulled back by the elastic parachute rope.

Xu Shenghan looked up in shock, only to find that Zhuang Xu spread his arms calmly and was flying away slowly.

In his right hand, he was holding a loose buckle.

——The moment Zhuang Xu realized that he was going to drag his teammates into space, he undid the buckle without a sound.

Without the slightest hesitation or any nonsense, he decisively gave up the possibility of being rescued and left the hope of survival to his teammates.

Xu Shenghan... was shocked.

This shocked him even more than speaking a thousand lines with BGM!

Especially, if he wasn't brought along, Zhuang Xu's propulsion gas would be enough for him to reach the space station alone!

boom!

Xu Shenghan was dragged back by the elastic parachute rope, bumped his back against the space station, and after being bounced off again, he finally grabbed a metal pole in a panic and completely fixed himself.

At the same time, the spacesuit beeped.

The data on the mask was all red.

Zhuang Xu's voice finally came from the headset: Dr. Xu, can you hear me?

Xu Shenghan looked at his teammates slowly floating into the background of space, and for a moment he didn't know how to open his mouth.

Zhuang Xu called again: Dr. Xu, can you hear me?

Yes. Xu Shenghan felt that he wanted to say a lot, but he didn't know how to say it. Finally, he could only say, My carbon dioxide alarm has sounded, and the oxygen level has fallen below the limit.

Zhuang Xu's voice remained calm, but as the distance between the two grew further, electromagnetic interference began to appear in the earphones: Listen, you need to enter the space station. Can you see the air valve from your current position?

Xu Shenghan grabbed the metal rod and circled around, but found nothing that looked like an air valve.

I didn't see it.

Find the air valve, it's right above you, next to the dream capsule.

Zhuang Xu's figure became smaller and smaller, and the electromagnetic noise became more and more obvious.

Xu Shenghan raised his head, and sure enough, he saw a sci-fi metal manhole cover.

I saw.

Very well, that's where you are going. Zhuang Xu's voice was almost mixed with the electromagnetic noise, Now you are a little dizzy, right? This is because you inhaled carbon dioxide and are slowly losing consciousness. You need to Get into the space station as soon as possible.

Understood. Xu Shenghan really wanted to have a good chat with Zhuang Xu, but now he was getting dizzy and didn't know how to speak, so he could only hurry up and move to the position of the air valve.

Zhuang Xu seized the time and gave him more hints: The No. 2 escape capsule is seriously damaged, and the parachute has popped out. You can't rely on it to re-enter the atmosphere, but you can drive it around.

Xu Shenghan realized again: the matter is far from over, and entering the space station is only a short escape from the oxygen crisis!

Now, look west.

West side? Xu Shenghan turned his head and looked over while climbing up the iron pole.

Can you see that white dot in the distance? Zhuang Xu explained to him, That's the International Space Station of the European Union.

Another space station?

Yes, you have to get there in an escape capsule, and the escape capsule on the International Space Station is [Explorer], and you can fly it back to Earth.

I'll drive?? Xu Shenghan was surprised.

Don't worry, the return operation of Explorer is the same as that of Jiutian. Zhuang Xu comforted him.

But... Xu Shenghan really wanted to complain, he didn't know how to drive the Jiutian either!

But thinking that Zhuang Xu might be about to cut off the communication and completely disappear into space, he held back again.

Zhuang Xu continued to comfort him: Don't be nervous, this is not launching a rocket, just aim at the earth, it shouldn't be difficult.

At this time tomorrow, you will return to Xia Jing, and your experience will become a legend.

... Xu Shenghan was already close to the air valve, and he suddenly thought of a way, I can drive the escape pod to rescue you.

No, don't waste your efforts, I'm too far away from you. Zhuang Xu immediately refused.

But Xu Shenghan insisted: It's okay, just like you saved me, let your flashlight flash and show me the direction!

I think you can't catch up with me. Zhuang Xu's tone was always calm, Doctor, this is space.

You need to learn to let go, you need to live.

Xu Shenghan looked at Zhuang Xu who had turned into a white spot, and fell silent.

Now, tell me you'll live.

Xu Shenghan remained silent, but in the end, he promised: I will live.

Very good, come on.

Have you reached the valve?

Not yet, soon.

Come on. Zhuang Xu's voice was not only calm, but even became lighter, Speaking of which, I have some good news for you.

The BGM, which had been quiet for a long time, also sounded softly again.

What? Xu Shenghan was a little confused, brother, you are almost gone, what good news can there be?

I'm about to break the world record for a spacewalk, and I guess it's going to be a long, long time...

Fuck... Xu Shenghan was really speechless to this one-liner full of black humor.

All he could say was, I'm going to save you.

But Zhuang Xu suddenly said with emotion: My God——

What's wrong?

Wow— Zhuang Xu exclaimed again, Hey, Dr. Xu.

What's wrong?

You should go see the sunrise in Penglai.

It's really beautiful.

These are Zhuang Xu's last words.

Afterwards, electromagnetic noise, music, space suit alarms, all kinds of sounds mixed together, filling Xu Shenghan's ears.

But only Zhuang Xu's voice never sounded again.

His figure has turned into a tiny white dot, almost indistinguishable between the azure blue planet and the boundless stars.

At this moment, Xu Shenghan shuddered all over.

Not only because of Zhuang Xu's calm attitude towards death, but also because of the tranquility and magnificence of this death.

For the first time, he felt so clearly: in space, the complex feeling of combining the deadly crisis of death at any time and the unparalleled magnificent landscape.

There is both fear and longing, and the two are inseparable.

Is this the romance of space? Xu Shenghan sighed with emotion in a low voice.

At the expense of his teammates, he narrowly came to the air valve, grabbed the handle with one hand, and slammed the winch with the other to unlock the air valve.

The moment the winch was shaken to the bottom, the air valve snapped open, throwing him flying in an instant!

Damn it! Xu Shenghan flew away quickly, looking at the space station that was getting farther and farther away, all his emotions were left behind.

Fuck you, uncle! Where's the shady person here?!

Xu Shenghan, whose physical and mental state had fallen to the bottom, broke his defense in an instant.

But the sudden opening of the air valve is determined by the laws of physics, not arranged by Lin You.

So it's just impotent rage.

Xu Shenghan read the file in anger!

Fortunately, the automatic save is directly outside the air valve, so that he doesn't have to experience the pain of losing his teammates again.

This time he was fully prepared, and when the air valve snapped open, he grabbed the handle tightly, then adjusted his posture, successfully got into the space station, and tightened the air valve.

Now he can hear his heart beating louder and louder, and the suffocation is getting worse.

So he held the transparent helmet of the space suit with both hands, and was about to take it off.

——But no matter how hard he tried, the helmet couldn't be taken off!

?!!

The alarm sounded louder and louder, the feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger, and the strength in my body became weaker and weaker.

Xu Shenghan began to go to the doctor in an emergency, scratching at the spacesuit, trying to break free quickly.

But the space suit is different from the clothes. After digging for a long time, not to mention the holes and zippers, he couldn't even find a seam!

The water friends just watched Xu Shenghan floating in the airlock, his face turned purple like a stranded fish, struggling desperately, but he couldn't get away no matter what.

Until he rolled his eyes, kicked his legs, and died on the spot.

???

The water friends watched the mime performance with question marks on their faces.

Xu Shenghan, whose soul was out of his body, was not in a hurry to resurrect, but crazily complained:

What's going on?!

Can't take off the spacesuit?

I wanted to say it when I was repairing the communication card! It's too crazy!

This game can't be played without participating in astronaut training, right?!

...

Now that there is no oxygen limit, Xu Shenghan complained that there is no limit, and the firepower is fully fired!

It's a pity that none of the water friends stood by him, and they were all laughing wildly.

After venting his anger, Xu Shenghan said depressedly: What's the matter? I have to find out how to put on and take off the space suit? Can I find this thing online?

The almighty water friends immediately gave him the answer: Look at your chest! There is an unlock button there! Then the helmet can't be pulled out hard, you have to twist it, just like opening a bottle cap.

Is that so? Xu Shenghan read the file again.

Open the airlock, enter the airlock cabin, close the door, find the unlock button on the chest, and press it without hesitation.

Then hold the helmet with both hands and twist it counterclockwise!

Click!

The helmet comes off instantly!

Xu Shenghan, who was about to suffocate, took off his helmet and threw it out.

But the next moment, he realized that something was wrong——

Not only did the feeling of suffocation not ease, but it even got worse!

Before, the gas that was only inhaled was carbon dioxide, but now I can't even inhale air at all!

Xu Shenghan's eyes widened in an instant, and they were bloodshot. He belatedly grabbed the helmet that he had just thrown away, but as soon as he moved, he found that his consciousness had been separated from his body.

There was only one corpse floating in the airlock.

... Xu Shenghan remained silent.

The water friends laughed happily:

Hahaha, you don't know that the airlock needs to be charged into the air before you can take off the spacesuit?

It's terrible to be uneducated!

...

Xu Shenghan became angry from embarrassment: Who would an ordinary person know about this?!

Besides, why didn't you say it just now!? You have to wait until I die?!

Of course it's to see you succeed! Hahaha! The water friends were not polite to him at all.

You guys... Xu Shenghan had ten thousand muddy horses galloping past in his heart, but in the end he could only swallow his breath and read the file silently to start over.

After entering the airlock this time, he first searched for the air pump switch of the airlock with the feeling of suffocation. While feeling so uncomfortable, he watched the progress bar slowly climb from 1% to 100% like a turtle crawling.

Then, with black eyes, he took off his helmet and panted rapidly to relieve his suffocation symptoms.

It took a while for Xu Shenghan to recover from the terrible suffocation, and his vision returned to clarity.

He struggled to take off the heavy spacesuit one by one, like shedding a thick shell, and his body became light and nimble again.

The sealed cabin isolated him from the boundless universe, and the narrowness of the space gave him a strong sense of security.

——From entering the game until now, he really felt safe for the first time.

The sense of security emerging from the depths of his heart brought him great comfort and relaxation.

But it is far from time to rest!

He only took a short breath for more than ten seconds, then turned his body again, and came to the two spare spacesuits in the airlock.

Before putting it on, he also found a Spacesuit Wearing and Operating Instructions beside him.

But now he didn’t have time to read carefully, just followed the experience of taking off his clothes just now, put on a spacesuit with sufficient oxygen, then fastened the helmet, and came to the hatch leading to space again.

Exhaust air from the airlock, open the hatch, and enter space.

He has to make sure of one thing!

With the safety rope fixed, he boldly climbed up, quickly reached the top, and scanned the distant space.

Soon, his gaze froze in a certain direction.

The water friends were at a loss.

But as Xu Shenghan adjusted the camera, all the audience saw what he was looking for——

On a farther orbit, a space station of astonishing scale is slowly moving away.

There is actually a space station there!

Even if it is far away, the space station does not look bigger than a fingernail, but its amazing complexity still makes people marvel at its scale at the first sight!

——Whether it is the Tiangong Space Station or the International Space Station, they are all in the shape of 卄 or I, and the structural complexity is actually very low.

But the space station in the distance is not at the same level as these two space stations!

It was even difficult for Xu Shenghan to describe its shape, because it was already a space city!

That's not an illusion caused by hypoxia... Xu Shenghan sighed with emotion in a low voice.

After three seconds of psychological struggle, he solemnly apologized to Zhuang Xu:

Lieutenant Zhuang, I'm sorry!

I have to go and see!!!

Two in one Ha!
