"Murphy, why are you here?"

Pang Xuelin was a little surprised.

Murphy said, "Brother-in-law, I can't sleep and want to talk to you."

Pang Xuelin hesitated, turned sideways, and said, "Come in and talk."

With that said, he poured a glass of water for Murphy, handed it to Murphy and said, "We're leaving tomorrow, are you worried about the upcoming expedition plan?"

Murphy shook his head, held the cup in both hands, took a sip, and remained silent.

Pang Xuelin said: "You don't have to worry too much. Half a year after you set off, I will also set off with you. At that time, if you don't dare to go deep into the fifth planet by yourself, you can wait for me in the synchronous orbit of the fifth planet. After I finish the exploration of the sixth planet, I will drive the shuttle out to meet you, and we will go to the interior of the fifth planet to have a look."

Murphy raised his head, his blue eyes stared at Pang Xuelin without blinking, which made Pang Xuelin a little hairy.

"Murphy..."

Pang Xuelin wanted to say something more, but Murphy suddenly stepped forward and blocked what Pang Xuelin wanted to say with his red lips.

After a long time, the two parted breathlessly.

"Murphy, we..."

Murphy covered Pang Xuelin's mouth with his hands, and whispered in his ear: "Pang, you should know the danger of our actions. I don't know if I can come back alive after this departure. I'm not afraid, I'm just unwilling , I am not reconciled to why when I met you, I hadn't grown up yet... I love you, Pang... Can you let me feel loved in our last night together?"

Pang Xuelin's hand that was trying to block Murphy gradually loosened. He stretched out his arms and hugged Murphy into his arms.

Soon, the lights in the bedroom dimmed, and the girl's cry of pain was faintly heard.

Early the next morning, Murphy, accompanied by Pang Xuelin, entered the hibernation compartment inside the shuttle.

Afterwards, the Eternal Night spacecraft ejected the shuttle, and the shuttle began a fifteen-year long journey.

...

Half a year later, Pang Xuelin completed the last video call with Chris and Little Murphy.

Chris in the video,

Crow's feet had quietly grown out of the corners of her eyes, and little Murphy was already fifteen years old, and had grown into a slender girl.

Perhaps inherited from Pang Xuelin's excellent genes, little Murphy has completed the entire high school course and was admitted to the best science and engineering university in this era.

"Chris, Murphy, I'm about to embark on a voyage that lasted fifteen years. Most of the time during this voyage, I will be in a state of hibernation. Maybe when I wake up again, the little Murphy child may be If I had it, I might be a grandfather too."

"Chris, I'm sorry, I owe you my whole life. But please believe me, no matter what, I will come back to you and stay by your side..."

"Murphy, it's great that you are growing up gradually. Dad is really happy. Remember to take good care of mom in the future...I love you..."

After the five-minute video recording, Pang Xuelin entered the hibernation cabin of a shuttle and began to officially enter the hibernation state.

And the video he recorded will be successfully transmitted back to Earth after a year.

Pang Xuelin set sail.

...

July 2068 in the AD calendar.

Pang Xuelin suddenly opened his eyes, and the soft voice of the artificial intelligence Tass sounded in his ears: "Captain Pang, hello, I am your personal assistant Tass. You have been in hibernation for fifteen years, February, three days, fourteen twenty Three minutes and fifteen seconds. You still need a month to arrive at your destination, and in the next month, I will help you slowly return to normal working conditions."

"Tas, thank you."

Pang Xuelin struggled to get out of the hibernation cabin, and after a long time, he climbed into the shower room to take a shower and changed into clean clothes.

Afterwards, he came to the porthole and looked out the window at the huge red planet just like the sunset on the earth.

Data show that the red giant star has a diameter of 200 million kilometers and a mass eight times that of the sun.

As its core continues to shrink and its shells continue to burn, its internal temperature continues to rise uncontrollably. At the same time, with the huge volume of the red giant star, the surface area of ​​the red giant star increases, the surface gravity decreases, and the surface air density decreases. .

The increasing internal radiation pressure drives the solar wind to increase rapidly, carrying away a huge amount of gas enough to affect the mass of a red giant star.

This process would develop out of control over hundreds of thousands of years, because as the gas escaped, the star became less and less massive, and the gravitational pull became less and less, making it easier to escape.

The end result is that all stellar matter except the core is ejected in the stellar wind, leaving a degenerate core and outer layers of gas. We call them white dwarfs and planetary nebulae.

According to the current observation results, this red giant star still has a lifespan of at least 500,000 years.

This is quite a long time for human civilization with a history of less than 10,000 years.

Pang Xuelin returned to the bridge and began to check the computer data inside the shuttle, and then he asked, "Tas, report the specific situation of the nine adventure teams of the Lazarus Project in the past fifteen years."

"Okay, Captain Pang."

"Carrick, the explorer of the second planet, and Anthony, the explorer of the third planet, have successfully completed their missions, and are still on their way back to the Eternal Night spacecraft. Both Carrick and Anthony are in a hibernation state. The second planet has the basic conditions for life to inhabit. Conditions, even the interior of the planet gave birth to some primitive life. However, the acceleration of gravity on this planet is 2.5 times that of the earth, and there are certain problems for ordinary humans to walk on this planet, so it is not suitable for human survival. "

"Although planet No. 3 has water, the interior of the planet is filled with frozen clouds and a lot of ammonia, and the internal environment is also not suitable for biological survival."

"The shuttle of the No. 4 planetary exploration mission hit a stray meteorite during the flight, Ms. Cathy died, and the mission failed."

"Ms. Murphy, the No. 5 planetary exploration mission, landed on No. 5 planet a month ago, but no information has been released..."

"The planetary mission shuttles of No. 7, No. 8, No. 9, and No. 10 have not yet arrived at the mission area, and the crew members are all in hibernation..."

...

Pang Xuelin's heart sank gradually.

Nine expedition teams, although the No. 2 and No. 3 missions were successful, the two planets were not suitable for human survival.

Number four failed before reaching the target.

After Murphy entered the fifth planet, no news was sent back, and his life and death were uncertain.

I have four other spaceships left, all of which are still on the way.

"I hope Murphy is safe and well, and the other teams are also going well."

Pang Xuelin thought to himself, after a moment of silence, he asked again: "Tas, has there been any news from the earth in the past fifteen years?"
