Invade the World

   Chapter 433 (Part 2) The largest showdown in history

  In the early morning of November 20, 1999, with the issuance of the "ignition" password, the bottom of the Long March 2F carrier rocket ejected a blazing blazing light and escaped from the launch tower. The rocket held up the test spacecraft, like a fire dragon rising into the sky, whistling into space.

   On the barren Gobi Desert, the rising sun at the end of the sky breaks the silence and darkness of the night. This empty land seems to be illuminated by the tail flame of a rocket, bright and dignified.

  While countless people waited with breathless concentration, about ten minutes after the rocket flew, the Shenzhou-1 spacecraft successfully separated from the launch vehicle and entered the predetermined orbit accurately.

  In the early morning of November 20, 1999, with the rising sun, a new day is gradually waking up. Major domestic TV stations are focusing on the news of the launch of Shenzhou-1. On the land of China, thousands of households are densely populated with stars and lights are shining. The aerospace engineering that has been continuously publicized and aggressive for decades has already become the memory of the times for generations. 's business.

Some put down their work and housework and sat in front of the TV; some took their children and sat down to watch the news program; some were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, jumping when they saw the ignition and emission on the screen being recorded. Get up and wave your fist.

And at this moment of great attention, the fact that most people don't know is that a girl who is only a high school student has become the first Chinese person to take a rocket into the sky. She is curling up and sitting quietly. Inside the Shenzhou-1 spacecraft.

Lin Xingjie sat alone in the closed and narrow cabin. The terrifying noise when the rocket was launched, the harsh sound of the air rubbing against the outer wall during the liftoff, reverberated in the cabin; but she seemed to be asleep, closing her eyes, Sitting there holding his knees, his long eyelashes trembled slightly.

   The flowing Kuroshio quietly surrounds her.

  Lin Xingjie released his super power early, and the "water flow" that poured into reality from the sea of ​​chaos wrapped his body inside.

   Had she not done so, she would have been shattered by the huge shock and vibration of the ascent.

   Under the erosion of the Kuroshio, the surrounding objects and instruments, even air molecules, all "floated", as if everything was really thrown into the water.

   But in fact, that is the weightlessness phenomenon that occurs when the rocket escapes gravity.

   The dark tide is rolling, surging silently, and those who are in it will feel as if they are back in the mother's womb before birth... back to the baby period of resting in amniotic fluid.

"…ten minutes."

   Hearing the ticking of his inner bell, Lin Xingjie slowly opened his eyes.

   Accompanied by violent vibrations again, the launch vehicle separated section by section, and the spacecraft has reached the predetermined orbit.

  —She has reached her destination, outer space.

  This is destined to be an impressive trip, the experience along the way is neither short nor long.

Because it was uncomfortable to curl up in such a narrow place, coupled with the yearning and desire for the destination, Lin Xingjie naturally felt that every second was a long time; but when the aircraft stopped vibrating and started to fly around the orbit, it was unexpectedly long. It felt like it just happened in the blink of an eye.

   She was even a little dazed and thought, "Ah, did I really reach the universe like this?"

  Lin Xingjie tried to get up and climbed to the cabin porthole—that is, near the observation window. This window is composed of several layers of glass structure. The first layer is high temperature and heatproof, and the two layers of test tempered glass on the inner side are responsible for the function of bearing pressure and sealing.

   She was lying on the window, looking out—

   "...It's really space."

   The dark, boundless world.

   There are countless stars in the distance, floating in the fog-like background. In Lin Xingjie's memory, they have never been so bright and clear that they once hung high in the sky.

  Lin Xingjie climbed to the other side of the cabin again. In this direction, she can see the Earth below the orbit - of course, because of the angle and altitude, it is impossible to see the entire water blue planet, just a small arc of the surface.

   Faced with such a marvelous scene, Lin Xingjie tutted in admiration, thinking that if he told Xiangyang about his experience in the future, he would definitely feel envious and jealous.

   In the days before she was ready to go to space, she and Xu Xiangyang read his collection of nature magazines and learned about the landscape in the universe. The reason is very simple. It is rare to have such a rocket. As the first person to carry a spacecraft into space, the girl's interest in this aspect was completely stimulated.

  So, she still knew what she could see. According to the magazine, astronauts on the orbiting space station can see the Earth's atmosphere, the contours of cloud tops, and natural phenomena such as auroras, thunderstorms, sunrises and sunsets, moonrises and moonsets.

And the stars - looking at the stars in a spaceship, and standing on the ground looking at the stars, although the distance between the stars and the stars is actually only a negligible value, but due to the difference in angle, there will still be a completely different experience ; Especially when it runs to the back of the earth, it will be more clear to see. As for the side facing the sun, because the light emitted by the earth itself is relatively bright, there will be some interference.

If some places are about to usher in a meteorological disaster, astronauts can use equipment to observe changes in the clouds from outer space, or a large-scale forest fire... But this kind of spectacle requires sacrifice on the ground, so don't appear. Better.

  Lin Xingjie quietly watched the scenery outside the window for a while, and suddenly thought of something. She put her face on the porthole and stared at the scenery below, waiting for the earth to rotate to the desired position.

"You can see the Great Wall from space" is one of the most widely circulated rumors about space travel these days. Teachers in the school always mention it when they talk about going to space. They also say that the spacecraft can take pictures of the Great Wall. So everyone listened to it as if it were real.

  Lin Xingjie tried her best to identify it, and then realized regretfully that due to her insufficient geographical knowledge, she couldn't identify the location of the Great Wall at all, and she had to wait, so she decided to give up because she was impatient.

  What Lin Xingjie didn't know was that in fact, people couldn't see the Great Wall in the spaceship, and that widely circulated rumor was unrealistic. Although the Great Wall is long, its width is generally no more than ten meters. Standing at the height of the space orbit, the width of the Great Wall is so thin that it can’t even compare with a hair. Only when the city-scale artificial buildings are integrated, can the overall appearance be seen. contour.

  I don't know how long ago, the spaceship turned to the dark side.

  Through the porthole, the shapes of mountains, lakes, and rivers on the earth are still clearly visible. If at night, you may be able to see a unique picture of city lights and starlight mixing, which is a truly dazzling wonder.

   As for now…

   Now, she has more important things to do.

   Rapunzel sighed and looked away from the porthole.

   The excitement and joy brought by going into space for the first time gradually faded away; Lin Xingjie refocused on the present.

"I want to go out."

  Lin Xingjie's mind moved slightly, and this idea just came to her mind, the Kuroshio beside her responded automatically, and the "water level" in the return cabin gradually increased until it overflowed the window.

   Rapunzel's arms stretched out, pushing away the surging waves around her, as if she was really swimming in the sea, with a slight movement, she swam for a long distance like a free-roaming mermaid.

  Because the space in the return cabin is very narrow, the rocket is not large compared to the range of motion of a person, she took a freestyle posture, and she swam out with two arms so casually.

   "Phew. It's out."

  Lin Xingjie flew out of the rocket and flew into space.

  Without a space suit and without any protective measures, the strongest superhuman on the ground floats safely and securely in the dark and deep universe, considering the low temperature, vacuum and strong radiation as nothing.

  The girl with fluttering long hair adjusted her posture a little, and drifted away slowly with inertia.

  If she is accidentally photographed by another spacecraft or satellite, she may be regarded as a cosmic ghost.

   “…without further ado.”

  Lin Xingjie took a deep breath and reached out to the empty universe.

  Going to space with a rocket is just the first step.

   In order to be able to fight the gods floating in space in a state of perfection, it is necessary to use the power of human spaceflight technology.

  Otherwise, if she only flew into outer space with her own strength, she would most likely be noticed by the gods during her ascent and encounter an unexpected surprise.

   was the idea proposed by Xu Xiangyang, which gave her the premise of a duel with her opponent under the same conditions.

   "The information given by Qingyue only mentioned the universe above Jinjiang City, and there was no precise location. I think it's not because she was negligent, but because she felt no need to do this... The reason is also very simple, there is no need for it."

Lin Xingjie, who is a divine matchmaker, knows this all too well: Ningshen is extremely huge, and it seems elusive when he is in another world; but even if only a part of it is revealed in the real world, it is very important to human beings. It is an unimaginable behemoth.

   Therefore, she does not need to find each other in the vast universe, but only needs to force them out. At that time, Ningshen, who is in low-Earth orbit, will definitely be witnessed by her own eyes.

  ...There is also a high probability that it will be observed by people on the ground, but this is temporarily out of Lin Xingjie's consideration.

   As for how to force it out, that is something that only a divine match like her can do.

  The reason why the **** medium can become the king of the medium is naturally because the **** who has established a close relationship with them is the king of the evil spirits. Only they can fight against each other, just like the struggle between the overlords who are fighting for each other's territory—

"bring it on."

  Lin Xingjie closed his eyes tightly and murmured a word.

  Another world that echoes the earth, the vast sea of ​​chaos began to flow endlessly.

   After a few breaths, a silent roar came from the void.

   In a world with no air and no sound transmission, Lin Xingjie suddenly felt that his vision darkened and he was completely plunged into darkness.

  The rays of light from the sun are strictly blocked.

   The huge shadow suddenly surfaced "on the water". It is like a spaceship that uses wormhole technology to make a transition across time and space in a sci-fi movie. It really appears in an instant and at a speed that cannot be reacted at all.

   "That's... 'Nest Mother'?"

  Lin Xingjie raised his head, and could only barely see an insect-like mouthpart blocking the earth's orbit. If it were placed on the earth, it would be enough to directly inhale tens of thousands of square kilometers of land into his stomach;

And on the belly of the planet-sized monster, countless silver threads like raindrops stretched out, like a high-hanging waterfall landing on the surface, it pierced through the universe, through the atmosphere, and straight through the small city on the ground. Everyone's day spirit cover.

  …

At 8:45 a.m. on November 20, 1999, Eastern Eighth District time, dozens of countries in Asia and the Pacific Rim observed anomalous celestial phenomena at the same time. Nearly two billion people all felt the dramatic changes in the sky at the same time, as if day and night were reversed, and the world was plunged into eternal darkness;

"…You are the one!"

   At the same time, a fearless smile appeared on the face of the human girl who was floating in space and faced off against the huge and incomparable monster.
