The interiors of one space city after another have returned to the vacuum they should have been. Under this situation, a large number of abandoned devices that were not easy to destroy directly were thrown into them.

The space city becomes a container for these things.

On the outside, a small number of staff directly installed engines, thrusters, etc. that were disassembled from other spacecrafts on the space city, giving it simple space navigation capabilities.

Inside the Yuanhang spacecraft, in the gravity-free zone, more than 6 million hibernating capsules have been prepared in advance. People took the number plates they received in advance and came to their own hibernation cabin under the guidance of the staff, and then lay down in it.

When the staff turned on the switch, people quickly fell asleep under the influence of anesthetic gas. Afterwards, the hibernation cabin was activated, and life was temporarily "frozen".

Compared with people who are awake, people hibernating in hibernating cabins will obviously occupy less space.

They don’t need a living room, a bedroom, a study, squares and parks to walk in, or entertainment facilities. All they need is a hibernating cabin with a width of no more than 1.5 meters and a length of no more than 2.5 meters.

According to the hibernation arrangement, four hibernation cabins can be placed in one hibernation room. There are two rows of hibernating cabins on the first floor, with 5 units in each row. Based on this calculation, a hibernation room can accommodate 40 people.

The area of ​​a hibernation room is only 60 square meters. To house 6.6 million people, only about 10 million square meters of area is needed.

This is only 10 square kilometers, not counting the number of layers. If you count the number of layers, the floor space will be even smaller.

The remaining thousands of cubic kilometers of space can be used to store supplies.

With the rapid increase in the hibernating population, the noisy human civilization in the past has gradually calmed down.

After completing most of the preliminary tasks in the plan list, the impact plan finally began.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhao Changxing and other sober people, hundreds of space cities and tens of thousands of spacecraft each started accelerating at different rates and began to move towards the distant inner solar system.

Among them, especially the Fire Spaceship, evoked many thoughts in Zhao Changxing's mind.

No matter how long he can live, Zhao Changxing knows that he will never forget the days when he lived alone in the Spark spacecraft, fought alone on the land of Sedna, and raised his children alone.

However, the Spark spacecraft has completed its mission. Zhao Changxing could not let it fall into the hands of the Moyun Litar civilization, so he could only use another method to keep it in the solar system forever.

Of course, all the commemorative items in it were brought to the Yuanhang spacecraft by Zhao Changxing in advance. These things will be preserved as long as human civilization exists.

Because this is the foundation of human civilization. As long as these things exist, people will remember where they come from and will not lose their way to the future in the vast space.

Xiao Xi, who once controlled the entire Fire spacecraft, had his main program completely transplanted into the central computer of the Yuanhang spacecraft, and took control of the entire Yuanhang spacecraft.

In the future journey, it will continue to accompany Zhao Changxing and human civilization.

And it is foreseeable that as the science and technology of human civilization becomes more and more advanced, and as computer technology becomes more and more sophisticated, Xiaoxi's abilities will also improve accordingly.

Now, Sedna and the surrounding dwarf planets have been basically cleaned up.

But there's one last thing left.

During this long journey of thousands of years, human civilization has completed several updates. New humans will be born and old humans will die.

They each lived different lives. There are those who followed Zhao Changxing into battle personally, fighting for a whole life for a planting workshop and a living base, and there are also those who have been with thousands of companions, turned into a screw of civilization, and spent their lives in professional work. of life's journey.

Now, their remains have all been exhumed from the cemetery. Their number even exceeds the number of all living people.

Because there are no microorganisms in the natural environment of Sedna, all their remains have not decayed. Everyone kept their faces as they were at the moment of death. Their remains had long been frozen by low temperatures and were harder than rocks on earth.

Zhao Changxing could not let their remains stay here.

Facing this mountain of human remains, Zhao Changxing looked solemn under his aerospace helmet.

Placed in the front row are the remains of the nineteen companions who left the earth with Zhao Changxing and headed for Sedna.

They have the same mission as Zhao Changxing. But before they had time to fulfill their mission, their lives were taken away by immature hibernation technology.

Looking at the bodies of the nineteen companions who seemed to be still sleeping, many memories from long ago were once again brought up deep in my heart.

Zhao Changxing's hand in a space suit gently touched the face of each companion. His palms were trembling slightly, and his eyes seemed a little moist, but his expression was always calm without any fluctuation.

After the bodies of these nineteen companions were the bodies of ten more old men.

Zhao Ye, Qian Yue, Sun Caiyun, Zheng Yan, Chen Feng...

These were the first children that Zhao Changxing raised by himself.

Zhao Changxing's palm also touched their faces one by one. During this process, many thoughts were also recalled.

There is the joy when the first baby is born, there is the anxiety when the children are sick, there is the warmth when playing with the children, there is the blessing when the children get married, there is the time when the children become old and finally die. The sadness...

In the blink of an eye, thousands of years passed.

"I promised you that one day, I will take you back to Earth. Now, daddy takes you home..."

Zhao Changxing murmured in a low voice, his eyes full of love.

After that, Zhao Changxing's expression became serious again. He turned his head and looked at the people who came with him to dispose of the remains of his seniors.

"Our civilization is not an illusory concept. Each of us is a part of civilization, and when we all come together, we form our civilization.

Everyone who has ever come to our human civilization, whether this person is the highest-level official of the civilization, a top scientist, an industry talent who has made outstanding contributions, or an ordinary person, Ordinary workers, farmers, maintenance workers, soldiers, etc., except those who committed serious crimes and were eventually executed by the law, everyone, everyone, is the hero of our civilization.

Living itself is making a contribution to civilization and creating value for civilization.

Now, all our predecessors who have dedicated their lives to civilization are here.

Without them, there would be no civilization, no life today, no one of us who is awake or hibernating at this moment, and nothing.

Now, we... send the seniors home. "

Zhao Changxing turned around, stretched out his arms, and slowly raised them to be level with his temples. Behind him, all the sober people who followed also saluted this military salute which contained the highest respect.

Even Villagash stretched out his arm with only three tentacles left. The descendants of the deep space people also raised their arms.

At this moment, there are no distinctions between civilized species. Because all people are part of human civilization and have a human identity.

After this, the grand cremation ceremony began.

Zhao Changxing personally pushed the remains of his nineteen companions and the first batch of children raised by himself into the cremation workshop. The rest, with the help of many staff and machines, the number of human remains, which numbered more than 10 million, was quickly turned into boxes of ashes under the high temperature of the fusion cremator.

These urns were also put into the Yuan Voyage spacecraft. They will set sail together with the Yuan Voyage spacecraft.

When these ashes pass through the earth, Zhao Changxing will spread them all over the earth, so that they will always be with their hometown.

The main reason why they were burned into ashes instead of taking the remains away directly was because Zhao Changxing did not want people's remains to fall into the hands of the Moyun Litar civilization.

As for the remains of those who were executed by law for crimes, Zhao Changxing did not think too much. When the various facilities on Sedna were blown up in the early stage, anti-matter bombs were used to blow them up.

Because of its direction and to save fuel, the Voyage spacecraft will not leave the solar system from the Sedna star, but will first enter the inner solar system.

In this way, the masses of Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter can be used to accelerate the Voyage spacecraft and save a lot of fuel.

When passing through Jupiter, people living in the Jupiter system will take another spacecraft to join them.

After this, the Voyage spacecraft will go straight to the earth. After being accelerated by the earth's gravity, it goes straight to the sun, uses the sun to complete the final acceleration, and then leaves the solar system and heads for the distant ez Aquarius galaxy.

At this moment, after disposing of people's bodies and completing the last thing, Zhao Changxing and others returned to the Yuanhang spacecraft.

The middle one of the three huge internal rollers, in the main control room of the entire spacecraft, with hundreds of thousands of spacecraft maintenance personnel already in place, fully monitoring and guarding against any accidents, Zhao Changxing calmly He gave the order to Xiao Xi.

"Xiao Xi, set sail."

"Yes, Captain."
