Chapter 1 Hale wakes up

There is no life in sight, cold and lonely, vast and eternal, the deep sky where darkness lasts forever.

The shining starlight in the starry sky is just an insignificant embellishment in this vast universe.

In this dark and cold universe, in the starry sky dotted with stars, there is a Kryptonian space exploration technology ship with the colors of the Krypton Science and Technology Institute engraved on the bevel, one hundred and sixty meters long, fifty meters high, with many pits and broken surfaces. Drifting in the lonely space.

Inside the ship.

Life Nutrition Room.

In the dark and cold life nutrition room, the wall lamp suddenly turned on silently, illuminating the entire single life nutrition room into bright daylight.

In the entire life nutrition room, there is only one freezing cabin.

'laugh·······'

The cryogenic chamber made a sound, and the lid was being opened automatically. White mist of cold air emerged from the cryogenic chamber in an instant and spread throughout the life nutrition room.

In the life nutrition room filled with frozen white mist, a light image was suddenly projected from the cracks in the wall, and the projection light was projected. A middle-aged man with wise eyes and calm face was projected out.

"The spaceship has consumed too much crystal energy through the meteorites. Has it reached the point where life can be awakened to determine the final journey of the spacecraft..."

The middle-aged man's wise eyes are full of complexity.

The intelligent system of any spacecraft cannot replace the life inside the spacecraft to determine the final voyage.

Sometimes a sudden inspiration of life can find a way out of a desperate situation better than an intelligent system.

At the last moment, whether life or death, Kryptonians have the power to decide the final situation. This is the final say guaranteed by the Kryptonian Living Council regarding those within the ship.

In the cold white mist.

Haer, who was lying in the freezing chamber, suddenly opened his eyes. Even though the freezing chamber where he was lying had been heated, he still felt the cold touch of his skin, and the slightest bit of cold air penetrated into every pore, bringing the slightest trace of coldness to the skin. The silk was cold, and the beating blood of his heart flowed throughout his body, providing warmth to his body under the skin.

He moved his fingers lightly, his eyes focused from the daze after waking up, and he took a deep breath of cold air into his lungs. The cold air stretched down his throat, and the stimulation of his trachea entering his lungs made him feel his own presence and body. The strength gathered from the depths of the bone marrow, and the muscles became strong again.

Haile sat up with his strong body supported on his hands.

"Successful."

He has handsome eyebrows, a gentle face, and a smile. His long black hair reaches below his shoulders. His focused pupils are as deep as black holes. With calm and unhurried confidence, he looks at the figure projected out of the cold white mist.

"Father, is that you?"

Haile got up from the freezing cabin, and a tall black figure walked out of the frozen white mist. He was tall, with strong limbs, and his skin was close to the muscle lines, outlining a perfect male hormone body.

He showed a look of joy and confusion at the right time and asked: "Father, wake me up now, have we succeeded?"

Jor-El's originally complicated eyes became even more complicated when he saw Haile walking out of the white mist. With a somewhat unspeakable sadness on his face, he smiled and said: "Haier, maybe you should go to the master's office." Let’s take a look at the control room.”

"Um?"

Haier was just slightly confused on the surface, but he knew in his heart that this should be expected, and the worst situation for him had appeared.

But Haier was not disappointed at all, because leaving Krypton was already the beginning of the best journey.

He ignored Jor-El's projection, and with a hint of coldness on the surface of his skin, he stepped out of the white mist and walked straight towards the main control room. During this short journey, Haile kept talking to him. Jor-El chatted, remembering the various researches that Jor-El conducted as his mentor in Taixue.

I miss all the strange scenery of Krypton, every bruise after sparring with Zod, the knowing smile when I was caught driving a speeding car with Kara, and the delicious food made by my adoptive mother Laura.

The time on the surface of Krypton was a fulfilling time that he had never had in his previous life.

Jor-El's projection appeared from time to time following Hale's footsteps. Whenever Hale missed the time on Krypton and the time he spent with him, he was very silent.

The main control room is actually very simple, with only the main control console and a steel seat not far away. The surrounding empty environment is used to project the 360-degree starry sky conditions of the spacecraft.

The existence of the intelligent system makes it possible to complete everything by simply sending an order from the commander.

In this space exploration technology ship, there is only Hale and his adoptive father, Jor-El, who implanted part of his consciousness when the spacecraft took off.

Haier entered the main control room and saw that the 365-degree starry sky environment projected was not similar to his impression, and his brows jumped involuntarily.

He has been frozen for a period of time. At the beginning of the freezing, he had given an order to march towards the galaxy with the yellow sun while ensuring safety.

Haier's eyes swept across the starry sky and universe projected in the main control room. It was obvious that Dawn had not found the yellow sun, nor was it walking according to its predetermined coordinates. It had deviated to the point where it was difficult to lock onto the earth.

"Shuguang, report the current status of the spacecraft."

Hale gave the order.

Rows of projection data, as well as dynamic projections showing the damaged parts of the spacecraft, were displayed in front of Hal.

Shuguang Intelligent System will explain in a timely manner.

"Crystal core engine energy remaining 3%..."

"Energy shield failed..."

"The internal circulation radiation protection barrier is starting..."

"The damage rate of the outermost layer of the spacecraft has reached 64%. Construction machinery is being used to remove the damaged outer layer and reinforce the inner layer."

"The drifting trend is expected to last for 18 years..."

"Please set the rafting sailing location..."

Aimless drifting·····

Haier sighed in his heart, he really took action against me, my good father.

"Open the voyage log."

Unexpectedly, the voyage records were completely blank.

Haer's face was expressionless, and he sat silently on the steel seat, with his hands on the armrests, his fingers crossed on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes were deep and firm.

He sat on the steel seat in this bright starry sky, silent.

If possible, he actually didn't want to reach this moment.

The projected light shone in the main control room, and Jor-El's figure was projected out. Looking at Haile sitting on the steel seat, there was a guilty and unbearable look in his eyes.

"Haier..."

"Father, why do you do this? In just two years, the energy of the crystal core engine was reduced to 3%. The originally set sailing route was changed, and the spacecraft was drifting aimlessly, so that Dawn calculated that there was no life left in the wake. I."

Haile's tone showed no joy in seeing his father again.

Now that he has reached this moment, he is willing to inflict any slight pain on Jor-El.

"That's enough, Haier. There's no need to question or pretend to be pretentious. This part of my consciousness feels unspeakably guilty and unsettling. When I copied this part, I realized that it was really difficult to make a choice on the spaceship. I couldn't believe that you would Such a person. But since this part of consciousness is here, it means that no matter what kind of fluctuations in consciousness and emotion, it can't change my original determination."

Jor-El's guilty expression paused.

He didn't feel good about throwing his son into the vast, lifeless, lonely and cold deep space.

"I don't understand. Aren't our goals the same? Isn't it our duty to save Krypton?"

Haile's tone was sonorous and firm.

Before boarding the ship and Jor-El secretly proposed to copy part of his consciousness on the Dawn Quest, they had been a model father and son.

The most respected scientist on Krypton, Jor-El, and his love for Krypton, easy-going, kind, generous, cheerful, steady, smart, upright, righteous, fair, broad-minded, positive, handsome, strong, The son of Honesty, generosity, sincerity, enthusiasm, perseverance, courage, decisiveness, wit and other excellent qualities, Hal-El.

They have always been the most admirable couple in the Krypton Academy of Sciences.

All scientists believe that the bright future of Krypton lies in the hands of this father and son.

Now... actually... my father stabbed me in the back!

Exile me to drift in the deep space of the universe.

A hint of regret flashed through Haer's heart.
