Shen Yun looked to the left and right, and suddenly found that Cao Fang and Yao Zheng were gone, and the thick darkness wrapped her tightly like a cocoon, except for the glowing national flag badge on her left chest, she could no longer see the rest of her body.

However, the terrible darkness did not last long, and was broken by the points of light that were as thin as grains of sand. They seem to be seeds that burst out of the black earth, forming round buds and then rapidly expanding and bursting with blinding light.

This is a simulation of the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, and the point where Shen Yun stands is the cosmic singularity. The first change in the chaos and darkness took place from under her feet, and with her as a starting point, various celestial bodies were formed in turn according to the cosmic order that had occurred.

She suddenly realized that the two had not left her, but had been shielded from the cosmic hologram. Their intention not to disturb her was obvious, and only when she was alone could she fully immerse herself in the process of the birth of the universe from nothing, so that she could truly experience the profundity of the vast sea of stars with the tiny size of an independent organism.

In less than a minute, she witnessed the formation of the solar system and could clearly identify the eight planets, dwarf planets, and small bodies of the solar system. The Kuiper Belt, located 30 astronomical units from Earth and outside Neptune's orbit, is also clearly represented by the Oort Nebula, home to comets farther away. So she was sure that her position had been changed to the sun, and that she herself should be the planet that brought light and heat to the earth.

With her as the origin of the projection system, the four quadrants of the Milky Way appeared, and with the naked eye, she saw the Andromeda Nebula, which was only observed with the Kepler space telescope, and Sagittarius A, which marked the center of the Milky Way.

At this time, Cao Fang's voice came from the depths of the universe: "You can change your perspective on the navigation screen, zoom out to see the panorama, and zoom in to see the details." ”

"Yes, there's navigation available!" Getting the prompt, Shen Yun hurriedly reached out and touched the light screen that she thought was just a light, but she got the touch of touching the glass screen.

She stretches the image into the depths, and when she looks at the Milky Way again, the main spiral arm extending outward from the nuclear sphere rotates slowly like two milky bands of light, and she sits in a cantilevered arm called the Orion arm, as if it has really become an important support point for the grand universe.

She wondered if if she could go into the mystical realm of outer space if she continued to push the navigation system. This feeling of being in the middle of the heavens and having another planet at your fingertips, compared to observing the asterism with my father's telescope, or standing on the balcony and looking at the night sky, is like the feeling of people and fish to the sea, people are always spectators, and fish are the real masters of the ocean, and they can experience the profundity of the ocean in it.

Suddenly, she remembered the headaches she often had when she was stargazing in Beijing. The mysterious eyes behind hiding in the darkness couldn't exist in this simulated scene, so she didn't have to be afraid.

However, instead of bringing comfort, this thought instantly tightened her whole heart, and she let out a terrible scream of "ah", and her body shook violently, as if she was about to fall into the sea of fire on the surface of the sun.

Suddenly, the thick cocoon formed by the darkness cut open the left and right lights, and Cao Fang and Yao Zheng appeared beside her in time and firmly supported her.

"Xiao Shen, what's wrong with you? 3D simulation of space will not cause harm to anyone, you don't have to be so nervous! Yao Zheng hurriedly comforted.

Cao Fang was silent for a long time before he said: "I know you are afraid of the dark, but you can't be afraid like this all the time, there must be a day when you come out of fear!" ”

Shen Yun was very uneasy about her gaffe, but in the face of two powerful soldiers, she really didn't know how to explain the sudden realization: through the contrast between the real and the unreal, she was shocked to realize that the eyes from the universe that stared at her were real!

Under Yao Zheng's operation, the distance between celestial bodies in virtual space returned to normal proportions.

Shen Yun was sweating profusely, her whole body seemed to be drenched by heavy rain, and the camouflage uniform seemed to have lost its thermostatic effect, clinging to her body like ordinary clothes. Only then did she find that a pair of wide black VR glasses were on the bridge of her nose, and in a weightless state, she didn't even notice that someone else had helped her put on a pair of glasses.

"One day, we have to get out of the fear of the dark! Cao Fang said it easily, but if those eyes were always there, could I really come out? Or is the only solution for me to go behind the night curtain and figure out who is the owner of the eye? But how could a girl like me, who is so ordinary that she could no longer be ordinary, go to outer space alone? ”

Chewing on Cao Fang's words, Shen Yun's heart was full of bitterness. The long-lost headache hit again, catching her off guard.

Cao Fang announced: "The space experience is over, and the next stop is the special forces training camp in Field C, let's rush to see Xie Tuan as soon as possible." ”

As soon as the thruster under his feet spewed flames, Yao Zheng suddenly remembered something, grabbed Shen Yun and said, "Xiao Shen, I'm sorry, there is something important that must be reminded of you first." ”

Since entering the Space Force base, Shen Yun has been in a state of confusion, and she is naturally happy to be reminded, and she nodded again and again: "Please speak!" ”

Yao Zheng said: "The title of 'Commander Xie' was called behind his back, and we must not mention it in front of him, he only likes people to call him General Xie or Commander-in-Chief Xie." ”

"Who? Do you mean Captain Xie? Shen Yun didn't understand who "he" was in Yao Zheng's mouth, so he had to open his eyes and ask, but instead committed a taboo. This kind of question was so innocent that it made both of them laugh.

Yao Zheng nodded with a haha: "Yes, yes, it is Regiment Commander Xie, when you see him, just call him a general." ”

Yao Zheng's kind reminder made Shen Yun a little curious about Xie Tuan. In the end, it was Cao Fang who said the reason why he hated being called "Xie Tuan".

It turns out that according to the standard of military rank of the ground forces, the "regiment" is not only not the highest level, but also has a large list of titles such as "division" and "army" pressed on it, and it is far from the highest level. However, the formulation of the military rank of the Space Force is not much different from that of the Ground Forces, because the "Legion" is the largest establishment unit, and the "Regiment Commander" naturally becomes the highest military rank. This kind of system made the Xie Tuan very disapproving, thinking that he was demoted inexplicably, so from now on, whoever called him the head of the regiment would be in a hurry.

The Special Forces Training Camp, where the Elite Brigade is currently located, is located on Earth in the solar system in simulated space.

The balancer spraying blue flames carried the three of them forward, and the huge celestial body was like a decoration hanging on a huge black velvet cloth, constantly retreating away from them, giving Shen Yun a strong illusion: it was himself who had been in a state of rest, and it was space itself that had changed its position.

After walking for a long time, dozens of rows of neatly arranged red light spots came into view. Compared to the volume of celestial bodies, the points of light were like sesame seeds sprinkled on the dough, and when she got closer, Shen Yun figured out that those were not special luminous celestial bodies at all, but Space Force soldiers wearing the same photon camouflage uniform as her.
