Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1150: Chapter 1050 ‘Do You Know That Sound Can’t Be Transmitted in a Vacuum?’ – Part 1 Chapter 1150: Chapter 1050 ‘Do You Know That Sound Can’t Be Transmitted in a Vacuum?’ – Part 1 “This is absurd…”

“When I’m driving on the road and see a big truck coming, I know to move, even if it’s not in my lane.”

“You guys in aerospace, don’t know to move far away?

Do you all need to get wiped out?”

Xu Shenghan was full of resentment, constantly complaining.

He was still floating in space, but thanks to Cloud Dream taking the game experience of the players into account, the rotation, which should have continued forever due to lack of external force, was slowly coming to a halt.

Not only was the feeling of dizziness greatly reduced, but he also had a chance to observe his surroundings.

–Well, he could at least clearly see Earth.

However, this experience was not entirely pleasant because in Xu Shenghan’s perception, he seemed to be distancing himself from Earth continuously.

The only good news was that Earth didn’t seem to be getting smaller, which means his speed was not too fast.

Of course, if there isn’t any interference, it would be hard to say what would happen if he continues to fly like this!

So after a round of robust complaints, Xu Shenghan began to ponder the upcoming plot developments:

“So…what’s supposed to happen next?”

“Another spaceship?

A passing space station?

Martians?

Or UFOs?”

The live-streamer community joined the discussion enthusiastically, but no definitive conclusions were reached–Obviously, real-life technology would only mean death, and the in-game technology was hard to grasp.

Fortunately, Cloud Dream did not let everyone wait for long.

A faint voice from his teammate sounded again in Xu Shenghan’s ear:

“Doctor Xu, can you hear me?”

“?” Xu Shenghan was startled, blurting out surprisingly, “Are you still alive?”

When he got flung out, he had seen the spaceship and the space telescope shatter under the attack of debris, all voices in the communication channel disappearing without a trace.

In his view, his teammates should have been completely wiped out.

His teammate fell silent for a moment before responding: “You’d better pray that I’m indeed alive right now, otherwise you’d have to think about who you’re talking to.”

Xu Shenghan considered his words and then shivered violently.

“This is no time to be telling horror stories in space, can you save me?”

“Of course, now, flash the light.”

“Flashlight?” Xu Shenghan didn’t understand.

“Take out your flashlight and flash it.

Otherwise, I won’t be able to see you.”

“Oh.

Got it.” Xu Shenghan comprehended–he had moved far away from the spacecraft and was now floating alone in the dark space; it was obviously hard for his teammate to detect him with the naked eye.

He found the flashlight from his bag, skillfully giving three short flashes, three long, and three short again, signaling “SOS” with the light.

Unfortunately, Glen didn’t see him:

“I can’t see you.

Report your position now.

See if there are any points of reference around you.”

“Points of reference?” Xu Shenghan looked around, “I’m above Earth.”

“…” His teammate fell silent.

After a while, he said, “Give me something more specific.”

“Hmm…” Xu Shenghan thought, “I’m above North America, around the top of Mexico, I guess.”

“Ah.” Glen sighed, “I meant, do you see any reference points in space?”

“Oh, that?

Yes, I do.” Xu Shenghan squinted, trying hard to find something at a distance, “To my left, there’s a white spacecraft, roughly the size of a space station; to my right, there’s also a white spacecraft, and its size suggests that it might also be a space station.”

“…How did you pass the assessments to get into space?” His teammate questioned his competence.

“We currently have two space stations in space: one is Daxia’s [Tiangong Space Station], and the other is the European Union’s [Alliance International Space Station].”

“Also…

yes, as you said, they are both white.”

Glen was speechless, and Xu Shenghan was even more so.

He “went out of body” to complain to his viewers, “The things you mentioned are not common knowledge, okay?

It is not my second round!”

“So are you coming to save me or not?” Xu Shenghan hurried Glen.

Glen: “Given your thinking, I do need to consider it.”

“????”

“Alright, relax.

Getting anxious will make you breathe faster causing you to use up more oxygen.

Report your status now.”

“Ha, ha, ha, you’re hilarious.” Xu Shenghan forced a laugh thrice, and began to report the data displayed on his facemask:

“Spacesuit’s internal pressure: 3.6, Oxygen level: 11%, Physiological data: healthy.”

“You’re consuming oxygen too quickly.

Pay attention to your breathing, relax, don’t waste oxygen.

Also, I see you now, keep the flashlight flashing.”

“No problem.” After responding to Glen, Xu Shenghan didn’t forget to tell his viewers, “I am clearly not nervous at all.

My oxygen consumption seems a bit high, maybe because I’ve complained too much.”

The chat understood: “We get it, we get it.

Xu Shenghan isn’t afraid at all, the one who’s scared is Xu ‘Reduced Breath’.”

Xu Shenghan tried to argue, but a faint shadow interrupted him—

He was on the dark side of the Earth, unlit by the Sun, and the Earth’s lights did not illuminate Space, severely impairing his vision.

As the shadow drew nearer, Xu Shenghan recognized it: It was Glen, wearing a manned mobility unit.

Glen’s manned mobility unit periodically emitted nitrogen gas, adjusting its flight trajectory.

At first glance, they seemed far apart, but in a split second, his teammate was within arm’s reach—The dark vastness of space and the enormous planet distorted his sensibility regarding distance.

Hence, the rendezvous was somewhat hasty.

Luckily, both teammates were technically proficient and Xu Shenghan remained calm—neither panicked nor exerting force, the two of them tightly held each other’s arms.

The motion tendencies of both parties were disrupted, they spun around in space a few times before stabilizing.

“Very good, very good.” Glen generously complimented Xu Shenghan, “You didn’t claw at me in a disoriented panic like a drowning person.

That’s good, really good.”

Xu Shenghan didn’t think this was praiseworthy at all.

As someone who had been a senior sailor, the fact that he should not panic or cling to his rescuer when being rescued is bare-basic common sense.

“Now, I’m going to bind us together.”

“No problem, I’ll help.” Xu Shenghan once again deftly helped, attaching the strap of the manned mobility unit to his spacesuit, “What’s next?”

“Next, I’m gonna push you away.”

“What?

Holy shit!” Before he had time to question, Glen had pushed him away!

He spun out into space again.

Glen immediately activated the manned mobility unit.

While towing Xu Shenghan with the safety rope, he moved and spoke, “We blocked each other’s view just now.

It’s much better the way it is now.”

“Next, let’s depart from here.”

“How about going back to Nine Heavens?”

Pulling on the safety rope and struggling to adjust his posture, Xu Shenghan responded, “The spaceship?

Is it still operational?”

“We would need to ask the command center.” After Glen finished speaking, he really began asking on the communication channel, “Xiajing city, this is Glen.

Can you hear me?”

“We plan to return to the Nine Heavens Sky Plane.

Can we arrange for Nine Heavens to return?”

“Xiajing, this is Glen…”

Xu Shenghan interrupted him: “They can’t hear us, the communication channel has been silent for a long time.”

“No, we don’t really know if they can’t hear us.

Maybe they can hear us, but just can’t respond right now?

So we must keep talking.

If someone happens to hear us, they can save us.”

“Then you shouldn’t be calling like that.”

“Is that so?” Glen was accommodating “What do you think should be said?”

“Let me show you, cough, cough—” Xu Shenghan cleared his throat, then shouted out loud—

“Help!!!”

“Is anyone there???!”

“I am the reincarnation of the First Emperor of Qin.

ƝοѵǤο.сօ

If you save me, I’ll make you the Chief General in the Imperial Court!!!”

Glen held his head in his hands, “Do you know that sound can’t travel in a vacuum?”

“Isn’t this to make you relax a bit?

So you don’t get too nervous, and breathe too fast, then we will run out of oxygen.”

The live-streaming community and his teammates didn’t appreciate his humor, which made Xu Shenghan a bit embarrassed, so he had to explain it away forcefully.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the alarm went off in his spacesuit:

[Beep—]

[Oxygen content low, please be mindful of extravehicular activity time.]

“Hahaha!”

This is what you get!

I told you to keep quiet!”

“I’ve told you to stay calm, we don’t have much oxygen left, when will you learn?!”

…

The live-streaming community, which had been sweating just now, burst into laughter in an instant.

[Author’s note] Many readers aren’t used to this, so I’ll explain here.

I’ve been attending a senior family member’s funeral for the past two days, and today again, was on the go the whole day.

I am ruggedly exhausted.

I didn’t start writing until the evening.

Barely managing, I came up with one chapter.

I hope everyone can understand.
