In the late autumn season, the withered yellow leaves rustled down with the wind, spreading a golden layer evenly on the ground. From their budding in spring to their fall in autumn, they almost always come and go quietly. The grass, which has already turned yellow, is sucking the last energy in the warm autumn sun. They will make final preparations for germination next year. When the gentle autumn wind blew through the courtyard of Jiangnan Research Institute, the usually quiet courtyard had already become noisy and noisy. Although the green leaves in the courtyard have long lost their luster of life, the life full of green has long turned into a heavy accumulation of golden color. The once infinite beauty in spring and summer has accumulated over time and turned into the mature colors of the season. People in the Jiangnan Research Institute must understand the principle of settling down and then developing. The laws of nature have always been like this and will always be like this.
October is a golden season, a harvest season, and a season of exploring outer space. According to instructions from the Alliance of Space Explorers headquarters, the Jiangnan Research Institute launched the landing plan for the Qilong spacecraft to land on Proxima Centauri b. The Qilong spacecraft, which has been equipped with quantum thrusters, has completed various data tests in the landing waiting cabin, and the manufacturing and experiments of nanorobots have also been completed. The bodies of Gu Te, Long Xiang, Long Yu, and Liu Sen were left in the frozen mulberry shield of the cryogenic laboratory after high-tech processing. Their ideological energy groups have been implanted in the bodies of nanorobots through chips. Because this landing on Proxima Centauri is very important, Marshal Yunfei and Xu Bozhong, as well as General Yu Kai and Dr. Davis have all come to the Jiangnan Research Institute.
In the freezer room of the research institute, Marshal Yunfei was presiding over a special ceremony. Gut, Long Xiang, Long Yu and Liu Sen will bid farewell to their bodies and embark on the spacecraft landing on Proxima b to complete a scientific research investigation of epoch-making significance for mankind. Their life and death are uncertain. General Yu Kai, General Yang Gang, Xue Guoqiang, Qin Yu, Wang Deshan, Xu Bozhong, Mary Elsie, Chi Ensheng, Liu Xin, Davis, Wang Yuanhao, and Natasha all looked extremely serious.
Marshal Yunfei looked around and said: "Dear scientists and astronauts. There is a mysterious anti-gravity force that is accelerating the expansion of the universe. If this continues, the universe we live in now will eventually reach the Big Freeze state. . This is very similar to the big blizzards, sky fires, and big earthquakes that have foreshadowed the disappearance of the gods in ancient civilizations. They will definitely bring about the end of our human intelligent life. In this case, the universe will become more and more larger, the anti-gravitational force of galaxies pushing each other away will become larger and larger, which will make the volume of the universe larger. If this endless cycle continues, the universe will eventually enter a state of control, and the last few billion nearby galaxies will leap out. Our event horizon. There may only be 36 galaxies in the local cluster left in the entire universe at that time. As the space between galaxies expands faster than the speed of light, the universe will become terrifyingly lonely. .The temperature is also very likely to spread thinner and thinner in space and drop. When the temperature drops to close to absolute 0 degrees, the end of us humans, including all intelligent life, will be reached. So we must be in front of the cosmic catastrophe. Before it comes, we need to find new ways out for humans on earth. At present, we have discovered through radio satellite signals that there are high-level intelligent life in outer space, so we have to go out of the earth and into outer space. Using wormholes to land on Proxima Centauri b is It is an arduous and dangerous job. Under the leadership of Dr. Gut, our current aerospace team, Long Xiang, Long Yu and Liu Sen will land on Proxima b together. Today, Dr. Gut, Long Xiang, Long Yu and Liu Sen will say goodbye. Their human bodies. Board the Qilong spacecraft and prepare to land on Proxima b. Dr. Gut, do Long Xiang, Long Yu, and Liu Sen have the confidence to complete the arduous task assigned to you by the headquarters?"
"Dear Marshal, we are confident to complete the mission." The four nanorobots said in unison. Their voices now were no longer the voices they had when they had human bodies, but the hoarse electronic sounds emitted by the robots. Although they still have their previous consciousness and thinking, their bodies are no longer human bodies.
"The vast space. Although Proxima Centauri b is only 4.2 light-years away from us, it is always out of reach for us humans. Gut, Long Xiang, Long Yu, Liu Sen, you will represent all mankind to visit Proxima Centauri for the first time. Star B has taken an important step in human exploration of space and set a new milestone for human aerospace industry. During this distant journey, you may face countless dangers and setbacks. I hope you can keep your mission in mind and go well. Complete the glorious mission and responsibilities assigned by the headquarters and return to Earth smoothly." Marshal Yunfei said with sincerity.
"We must resolutely complete the mission and live up to the trust of the headquarters." The four robots said in unison.
"At 1 a.m. on October 8, the Qilong spacecraft took off on time. All scientific research and staff in the Jiangnan Research Institute will enter the first-level working state from now on. From now on, all scientific research data of the spacecraft will be monitored intensively." Yun Marshal Fei said firmly.
After the meeting, Marshal Yunfei, General Yang Gang, General Yu Kai and Qin Yu came to the director's office of Jiangnan Research Institute. Qin Yu hurriedly brewed this year's new tea for the marshal and the two generals. The fresh tea fragrance slowly rose in everyone's cups and quickly spread throughout the room.
Marshal Yunfei stared at everything outside the window for a long time, then suddenly turned around and said: "Do you think my sudden decision to land the Qilong spacecraft on Proxima b was a little too hasty? According to the current international situation on earth and a variety of important information appearing between the stars, I consider that landing on Proxima b must be carried out immediately. First of all, the energy struggle in the universe will definitely be an important issue faced by high-level life in the future development and integration of the universe. Our earth In order to have a bright future for human beings on the planet, it is imperative to go out of the solar system. Only by finding planets suitable for human habitation in other universes before a catastrophe comes on earth can we ensure that our race can successfully survive Continue. Of course, outer space, like our earth, cannot be calm, and there may be multiple forces and political battles. We must learn to actively accept extraterrestrial civilizations and advanced aerospace knowledge. Instead Finally, under the backward technological development state, it was colonized by high-level life forms from other planets. I am fully aware of the danger of logging into Proxima b this time. I hope that our astronautical team can successfully land and return to Earth smoothly in the future."
General Yang Gang pointed to the Bermuda area and the position of Titan on the electronic nebula map and said: "At present, in the entire universe, not only do high-level life exist on our earth, but there are also other high-level life in the universe. This has been confirmed. Moreover, high-level alien life is approaching the Earth step by step. What are they thinking? Do they want to occupy the Earth, or do they want to coexist peacefully with the humans on the Earth? We don’t know. What we can do now The most important thing is to go out of the earth, out of the solar system, and go to more distant places in the universe to find better partners and directions for peaceful development, so that we can more effectively protect our earth. According to current scientific theory, traveling through wormholes will face It is a great danger, but it is also an excellent opportunity that we cannot miss. Once we successfully land on Proxima Centauri b, it will open a new chapter for Earth's aerospace industry. I think the headquarters' decision is correct, and we must timely Landing on Proxima b."
After General Yu Kai took a few deep puffs of cigarette, he blew out a smoke ring and said: "Marshal Yunfei, General Yang Gang, Director Qin Yu, the question I am thinking about now is. What if the Qilong spacecraft is nearby?" After the successful landing of Star B, will there be a new war between universes? Will our spaceship accidentally enter the sphere of influence of high-level beings in other universes and be attacked by the other party? According to what we have now information, we already know that there are high-level life on Proxima Centauri c. And we have had a distant dialogue with Chairman Goth of the National Council. Goth has elaborated on the peaceful development of the universe of the National Council led by him. position. But are there other complex political and military forces in Centauri? It is still uncertain whether they will attack our spacecraft. This time our spacecraft lands on a planet in outer space, will it lead to a war on the earth? We must consider and prepare for the worst and develop countermeasures in advance.”
"According to the observation data of our global radio telescopes and the photos sent back by the Halley satellite, there is currently no alien fleet landing on Proxima b. Because there is no flight trajectory of the spacecraft, if an alien spacecraft lands on Proxima b , will inevitably leave long traces of navigation. I think that after our spacecraft lands on Proxima b, it is very likely to encounter the fleet of Proxima c, because they must be looking for a place suitable for the residents of their own planet to live like us. Other habitable planets. But I think even if we encounter an alien fleet, if we don't take the initiative to attack, they will not directly attack our spacecraft. Because both sides understand very well that the consequences of provoking a war between universes will be very serious. In Provoking wars in diverse parallel universes will most likely lead to a Star Wars between universes, and the final result will most likely destroy all high-level life in the universe. But I do not deny the dark forces on earth. It may collude with the dark forces in other spaces in the universe and destroy the peaceful development of the universe." Marshal Yunfei slowly took a sip of tea and put the teacup on the table and said.
"Qin Yu, has Master Smith taken the initiative to contact you during this period? I think your identity has been exposed, so you should be extra careful." Marshal Yun Fei looked at Qin Yu and asked.
"Marshal Yunfei and Master Smith have often urged me to return to Europe these days, but I have found various excuses to shirk them. I think he has doubted my identity now. He has been asking about the return of the Starbuck spaceship. He expresses in his words I was very dissatisfied with Trini. I also kept asking whether Jiangnan Research Institute had any major scientific research projects, but I kept hiding it." At this time, Qin Yu had already guessed that Smith might have known his identity. He was repeatedly urged to return to the Senese headquarters in Europe, just to punish or get rid of him.
"Qin Yu, if this is the case, I think you should be extra careful in the future. The Alliance of Space Explorers headquarters will send additional security forces to the Jiangnan Research Institute to ensure the safety of the scientific researchers and staff here. You must always beware of those led by Smith. The dark forces are sabotaging the Jiangnan Research Institute. I want to ask you a question, if Gu Te, Long Xiang, Long Yu and Liu Sen successfully return to Earth, can you resurrect their bodies in the frozen mulberry shield?" Because there is General Yang Gang and General Yu Kai were present, so Marshal Yun Fei never mentioned the matter of Xiao Juan and Qin Yu.
"Marshal, to be precise, I can't answer you now, because I don't know how long it will take for them to return to Earth. Maybe one year or two, maybe ten or eight years, maybe several centuries. If it really takes several centuries, Only then can they return to Earth, and I estimate that by then all of us will be gone. According to the cryonics technology we have mastered so far, it should be entirely possible for the body in the frozen mulberry shield to be resurrected within a few hundred years. But the premise is that the human body in the frozen mulberry shield must not make any mistakes during the preservation process. If the members of the aerospace team return to Earth and we have successfully mastered the time machine technology, then there will definitely be a new turning point. We can definitely let them enter the time machine and pull back the time before landing on Proxima b." Qin Yu does not have any confidence that he can resurrect all members of the aerospace team. He can only confirm the resurrection plan he conceived in his mind. Tell the marshal truthfully.
"Oh, that's right. Qin Yu, one more question I want to ask you is, how long can the nanomaterial bodies of the aerospace team members be used? Can they be maintained by themselves in the Qilong spacecraft that landed on Proxima Centauri b?"
"Marshal, the robot body made of nanomaterials can completely withstand high temperature, high pressure, and cold. It can automatically obtain energy in space and perform maintenance on its own. The Qilong spacecraft has our most advanced small robot processing factory. Not only can they maintain their own bodies, they can also clone their own bodies, so you don’t have to worry about this, Marshal. The robots in our aerospace team are different from ordinary bionic robots. They have the consciousness and thoughts of us humans. They will never Betrayal of the Alliance of Space Explorers." Marshal Yun Fei's worries were also what Qin Yu worried about at first, but now all problems have been resolved.
"Oh, if that's the case, I'll be relieved. There are still a few days before the spacecraft lands on Proxima b, so we must do a good job in testing the scientific data." Marshal Yunfei lit a cigarette and let the smoke rise slowly in the room. rise. Scenes of upcoming and possible scenes kept flashing through his mind.
It is no longer a dream for humans to land in distant space. With the development of modern aerospace technology, interstellar travel has become a reality. Will the flight plan to land on Proxima b be successfully completed in a few days? What dangers will you face if you travel through a wormhole and land on Proxima b? A new world is opening up.
