The Dyson sphere project has been fully launched. Every day, a large number of solar sails are sent near the sun to absorb the heat energy emitted by the star.
Millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of solar sails seemed insignificant at the beginning.
But the energy they obtain is actually accumulated into the stellar energy hub.
On the other hand, the Academy of Military Science is also designing Blue Star Civilization's own Star Destroyer through research on the Tianhe.
The semi-remnant Tianhe cannot be wasted. He Xingzhou took the Tianhe to Mars and asked Xie Wu to repair it at the Mars Battleship Factory.
In this way, they can have a Star Destroyer as quickly as possible.
…
The days of construction and scientific research passed quickly, and before I knew it, fifteen years had passed.
In outer space of Mercury, in a space base, He Xingzhou and others were looking at a black three-legged crow.
Its name is the Golden Crow, the same name as the former human fleet, but this Golden Crow is not a battleship, but an artificial silicon-based life!
The body of the Golden Crow is this huge space base, which is loaded with a large number of quantum computing modules, allowing it to control countless solar sails and calculate the most suitable solar sail flight trajectory.
"Golden Crow!" He Mengyao called softly. She is one of the main designers of the Golden Crow. The life template of the Golden Crow has the silicon-based Zerg template.
Jinwu slowly opened his eyes, knelt in front of everyone, and said: "Fellow creators, thank you for giving me life."
Although it is a silicon-based life, He Xingzhou still added absolute obedience orders and safety control instructions to its intelligent system to ensure Jinwu's loyalty to humans.
"Jinwu, congratulations on your birth." He Xingzhou said, "From today on, you are the manager of Dyson Cloud. The greatest project in the history of Blue Star Civilization is entrusted to you! You must ensure that there are no problems with Dyson Cloud."
The Golden Crow has just given birth to its independent consciousness, and its emotions are not strong, but its thinking is very clear, "I understand, this will be my lifelong pursuit and mission!"
Judging from the conversation and current contact alone, Jinwu does not show any difference from other intelligent robots.
But its most powerful ability is not here, but its ability to think and evolve!
Its capabilities can continue to improve. He Xingzhou believes that in the future, the Golden Crow has the opportunity to become a more powerful silicon-based life form and become a powerful helper for mankind.
Everyone celebrated, and He Mengyao was also overjoyed and said: "We have created the Golden Crow. In the eyes of primitive civilization, are we the so-called gods?"
"Of course!" He Xingzhou said, "Creating life and flying across the universe, what we are doing now is equivalent to what the gods did in ancient mythology!"
"Master, I also want to become a real life!" Lumi's image appeared in front of He Xingzhou. She opened her eyes wide and looked at He Xingzhou expectantly.
Lumi's intelligence is also improving, and it is now very close to silicon-based life.
He Xingzhou smiled and said, "When you are done with this, you will upgrade your system."
"Thank you, Master!" Lumi showed a happy smile and said, "Master, Lumi himself will work hard!"
She is also learning Jinwu's program templates to expand her abilities.
"Meng Yao, I'll leave this to you. I'm going to Mars." He Xingzhou said, "Next, I have to be busy with the Star Destroyer."
"Yeah." He Mengyao nodded, "Brother, don't worry, Dyson Cloud will definitely finish the work on time!"
He Xingzhou stayed on Mercury for a few more weeks, arranging work and tasks. He had planned to go to Mars immediately, but an unexpected incident interrupted his plan.
"Son, we plan to enter deep sleep in one month." This was the message He Qihang sent him.
After seeing the message, He Xingzhou's heart sank and he asked, "Is the time up?"
The deep sleep that He Qihang mentioned is death!
According to the current law, residents of the Blue Star Alliance are free to choose the time of their death. It is unrealistic to live forever, but they can choose to end their lives early before the end of their lives.
People who make this choice do not do it because they do not love life, but because before the end of life, their body functions will decline significantly and various diseases will occur.
At this time, even the most advanced medical technology is useless, because this is the end of life and tissues and organs begin to fail.
Neither of He Xingzhou's parents have undergone genetic modification, and they are now over 150 years old. At this age, they are already the longevity stars of their generation.
He Xingzhou immediately went to Blue Star, He Mengyao also quickly asked for leave and went home, Xu Zhilan also withdrew from the Civilization Arena of the virtual universe, and Jiang Chan, who was on Mars, also arrived.
In He Xingzhou's home, the two elders are lying in the life capsule. Their hair is gray and their bodies are too old to speak and breathe on their own.
Seeing this scene, He Mengyao couldn't help but her eyes turned red and she shouted: "Mom, Dad!"
He Xingzhou was in a heavy heart. Even though he had seen life and death parting countless times, he still couldn't let go before his closest relative was about to pass away.
"Enter the virtual world." He Xingzhou's consciousness connected to the virtual world.
In the real world, the two elders are dying. But in the virtual world, both of them looked like boys and girls, laughing heartily.
This is what they looked like when they were young. Through virtual world technology, they once again experienced the feeling of youth.
"Dad, Mom!" He Mengyao, with tears in her eyes, threw herself at Jiang Manrong and said, "Mom, don't leave, okay? We have developed silicon-based life and can convert your consciousness into code!"
Jiang Manrong stroked her head gently and said with a smile: "Silly boy, didn't we say we wouldn't become a virtual life?"
Both she and He Qihang believed that such virtual life was not themselves, but an artificial intelligence that had their memories.
And some people believe that as long as the memory is the same and the thinking mode is the same, even if the life form is changed, the body will remain unchanged.
People have been debating this issue endlessly. He Xingzhou personally believes that as long as his memory and thinking do not change, he will still be himself even if he becomes a robot.
But his parents don't see it that way. They think that "I" is not "I", and He Xingzhou's repeated persuasion is useless.
"Okay, okay, aren't we still fine now?" He Qihang comforted.
Just as He Xingzhou was about to speak, He Qihang said first: "You still want to persuade us? No need to persuade us! We have both already thought about it."
"For more than a hundred years, we have experienced ups and downs! We should have left this world long ago. It is the development of science and technology that has allowed us to live in a new era. In this life, everything we have seen, seen, and done is We are satisfied beyond compare.”
"In the past few months, we have made arrangements for our funeral. In the last month, we can still experience life in the virtual world. When our consciousness declines, we will end ourselves."
"I..." He Xingzhou felt helpless.
Jiang Manrong took his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be sad. We are happy to leave at this time. Your road will still be long in the future, and you will encounter more dangers. Your dad and I can't bear the trouble. get up."
"It just so happens that our family hasn't gotten together for a long time, so let's get together today!" He Qihang said.
"Not just today!" He Xingzhou said, "I will also be willful and take a month off."
"Me too!" He Mengyao said quickly.
Xu Zhilan and Jiang Chan also put aside their work to accompany them.
For a month, everyone accompanied the two elders to chat, play and relax in the virtual world.
At the end of one month, the two old people's time is coming to an end.
At this time, their consciousness has been very weak, and they cannot stay awake even in the virtual world, and they spend most of their time indulging.
In the virtual world, a farewell party is being held.
He Xingzhou didn't say anything, but many old friends and friends of his parents came over.
In the hall, He Qihang said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that I would be able to attend my own mourning meeting in this life."
"It's a farewell party!" Jiang Manrong corrected, "Everyone is here to see us off!"
"Yes, it's a farewell!" He Qihang looked at the hall.
Many important people have already arrived in the audience.
There are dozens of Blue Star Alliance commanders alone, as well as friends they have known for more than a hundred years.
They all sent farewell messages to He Qihang and Jiang Manrong, shook hands with them, hugged them and said goodbye.
This is a special "funeral" that has appeared in the new era, because medical technology can accurately predict the time of one's death, and the virtual world can allow people to maintain their final condition and "activity."
Holding your own funeral has become a new custom.
He Qihang came to the stage to speak: "Everyone, today my life and Man Rong's are coming to an end. I hope everyone will not be sad, our life is exciting enough..."
"People of every era have their mission. Today, I can proudly say that we have completed our mission!"
"Then it's up to you!"
In the audience, everyone applauded. He Xingzhou had tears in his eyes, He Mengyao's eyes were red, and Xu Zhilan and Jiang Chan were also wiping away tears.
On the stage, the figures of the two elders gradually disappeared. This was because their consciousness completely dissipated and they left this world!
Everyone stood up and observed a collective moment of silence.
Many people started crying at the scene. He Xingzhou stood there in a daze. At this moment, he suddenly felt in a trance.
Countless dusty memories came to mind, including my parents as a child, my youth, my adulthood, the era of disaster, the new era...
"Starship."
"Brother Zhou!" Xu Zhilan and Jiang Chan supported him.
"Commander-in-Chief, my condolences, please take care of yourself." The commanders came over and expressed concern.
He Xingzhou took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Thank you everyone."
He Xingzhou left the virtual world and organized the funeral for his two elders in the real world.
According to their instructions, their bodies were cremated and buried in their hometown, with evergreen trees planted above them.
He Xingzhou was silent for a week and took care of everything.
"Mengyao, it's time for us to leave." He Xingzhou had already collected himself and was ready to set off again.
"Brother!" He Mengyao looked at him and said, "Brother, from now on, you are the only one in front of me!"
"Don't worry!" He Xingzhou's heart was already extremely strong, and he said firmly: "I am the one who leads the way!"
…
He Xingzhou came to Mars and the repair of Tianhe has been completed.
Its performance has been improved by several percent compared to before, and its defense and weapons have been modified.
Now its performance is no less than that of the previous Sirius.
Humanity has its first Star Destroyer!
Not only that, because they have cracked the Star Destroyer thruster technology, they are building mankind's first truly own Star Destroyer, the Purgatory.
"This is the drawing of Mars." In the Mars battleship factory, Xie Wu showed the design structure of Purgatory to He Xingzhou.
In front of him was the three-dimensional image of the Purgatory.
In terms of overall structure, the Purgatory is a disc-shaped battleship, with a Purgatory Ray main gun in the middle.
It does not fly flat like a flying saucer, but flies in a vertical and horizontal plane, so that the infernal rays in the main gun can hit the target better.
This design still refers to the plasma magic eye of the Lord of the Magic Eye.
"The main gun of Mars is a plasma gun, and the secondary gun is a proton cannon." Xie Wu said, "This is our preliminary design plan."
"In addition, we will also design Star Destroyers with proton weapons, resonance weapons, kinetic energy weapons, etc. as the main guns, named after planets respectively, as the mothership of the planetary fleet."
"Are there enough resources?" He Xingzhou asked.
"Not enough!" Xie Wu shook his head directly and said: "A large amount of our resources were first used to build the Super Star Ring, and now we are building the Dyson Cloud. Although you have obtained a large amount of resources from the Order Alliance, the allocation to the manufacturing of battleships is still insufficient."
"Judging from the proven minerals on Mercury, Venus, Blue Star, and Mars, we can only build two Star Destroyers with these resources."
"Including the Tianhe that has been repaired, there are only three ships."
"Far from enough." He Xingzhou said. In the past, perhaps everyone thought the three Star Destroyers were very powerful!
But after seeing the destructive power of Galactus, they discovered that three Star Destroyers were not enough in front of Galactus!
"Whether it is to create a Dyson Cloud or a new Star Destroyer, we must capture another planet!" He Xingzhou said.
Among the eight planets in the solar system, the four with the lowest mass are already controlled by the Blue Star Alliance.
The four planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are still under the control of the Zerg.
There are Galactus on them. Who to attack next is a very troublesome matter.
Galactus from different planets will also assist each other. No matter who they attack, their whole body will be affected.
He Xingzhou must think clearly about this issue.
He entered the command center through consciousness connection, asked questions to everyone, and brainstormed ideas.
"Jupiter and Saturn are too massive, have many planet devourers, and are highly evolved, so we can rule them out!" Song Jinghong said.
"Then only Uranus and Neptune are left!" Cui Weimin analyzed. "The orbit of Uranus is between the orbit of Saturn and the orbit of Neptune. If we attack Uranus, we may be attacked from both sides."
"If we attack Neptune, the Uranus Zerg will most likely be dispatched. They did a joint operation last time..."
