"Tianyi, although she has left this world, you have to cheer up..." Ah Jiu watched Pan Tianyi walking on the street in a daze, and couldn't help but worry about him.
"I really hate myself. Even my favorite relative cannot give her happiness! What's the point of my life?" Pantian sat slumped on the grass and looked at the Klein Building with a dull expression. In this world, what is love, and why can we only know how precious it is when it is lost?
"Since you have chosen the distance, you must travel day and night; since you have chosen love, you must protect your faith!" Ah Jiu's eyes were slightly melancholy, and he gently hugged Pan Tianyi into his arms, hoping to bring peace to his painful heart. Go for a touch of warmth.
"Love is the care and protection of our home! Even if we no longer exist, we must protect it!" Pantian first stared at Ah Jiu in front of him.
"Tianyi, your good friend Guo Yang wants to meet you." Ah Jiu looked at Pan Tianyi, her handsome and deep eyes gradually became clear from turbidity, and her fairy-like and holy face began to glowing with joy.
"Ma Liya, thank you for always being by my side!" Pan Tianyi took Ah Jiu's little hand, got up and walked not far away, with happy laughter in the air from time to time.
After a while, they walked into the giant cube building hand in hand, and saw Pan Tianyi slowly pushing open the tall alloy door and walking alone to the center of the wide hall.
When he thought that he would soon meet his childhood playmate again, he began to feel a little uneasy.
Pantian scanned the usually empty surroundings and found that the surrounding walls were filled with boxes similar to glass jars. The liquid inside also gave off a hazy green light. Under the green light, each human brain gradually became clearer.
Looking at the brains of thousands of humans, extending all the way to the depths of the hall and corridors, his black pupils suddenly flashed with shock under the green light.
At this moment, the surrounding space was silent. He seemed to only hear the electronic clock of time, ticking rapidly, but in the end he did not see a single figure.
His heart was gradually filled with loss, and he began to stop in front of a glass jar, staring sadly at the human brain that seemed to be swimming.
Just when he sighed in confusion, an old and familiar voice sounded intermittently in the hall.
"Pan Tianyi, we... haven't seen each other for a long time! I'm really... happy to see you this time!"
Pan Tianyi followed the source of the sound, looked back, and found an old man walking towards him in the form of a digital image, flickering in and out.
The person who came was none other than Guo Yang. His old face covered with white hair showed a long-lost joy. He said with tears in his eyes:
"You don't realize how good your hometown is when you are young, but you realize how homesick you are when you get old! I think those long-lasting memories and carefree childhood will never be found again..."
"Guo Yang, you look much older. I don't seem to recognize you when we meet again."
Pan Tianyi looked at the wrinkled villagers in front of him, his eyes a little sad, feeling that after ten years of sleep, many changes had taken place in the human world. "No matter how time changes and life grows old, our once-unforgettable Panlong Village still remains in the Central Plains, in the north of the super giant cube, and in the depths of our thinking and memory."
Ten years ago, when Pan Tianyi met him, Guo Yang was not only the chief designer of the Sky Ladder Project, but also an old astronaut from the Earth-Moon China Aerospace Bureau.
"Pan Tianyi, you are still as young and handsome as you were when you were in college."
The blue holographic image jumped. It was obvious that Guo Yang's eyes were full of envy. He became a little excited and said proudly:
"Although my body has been corrupted, my brain will gain immortality. In the future, it will be stored in the Intrepid spacecraft, linked to the AI neural network center of the spacecraft to become a whole, and become the navigation helmsman of mankind's first spaceship. In In the future, the Intrepid is likely to carry human pioneers through the vast starry sky to open up a new home for mankind."
"Guo Yang...you...have you passed away?"
Pan Tianyi seemed to have had a premonition of something. His face instantly turned pale. He could no longer bear the pain of his relatives and friends, who were moving away from him one by one.
From then on, they never had any intersection among friends, relatives and lovers in the human world.
In an instant, Pan Tianyi's rolling tears burst into his eyes. He wanted to hug Guo Yang, but he threw himself towards the holographic image.
"Pan Tianyi, you don't have to be sad. Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. What's more, our second life consciousness has been transplanted into the source virtual world. We don't feel sad, but are full of curiosity about future development!" Guo Yang showed a calm expression and comforted Pan Tianyi.
"I hope time will not erase everything. I really hope that the source matrix will continue to evolve on the earth! In this way, the relatives who have passed away will also be found." Pan Tian wiped his tears and slowly regained his composure.
"This may be our last farewell! The Fearless spacecraft will carry us to the sea of stars." Guo Yang looked at a wall blankly.
On the second floor, a cube-shaped glass jar popped out from the wall. It was filled with green liquid and had a human brain floating like a jellyfish. The surrounding cables were like a nervous system, constantly conducting electric current and light. .
"Is this your brain?" Pan Tianyi carefully looked at the glass jar hanging out of the wall.
"Yes..." Guo Yang felt melancholy and lowered his head to think for a while, "Unfortunately, our phone call is coming to an end. I don't know when we will meet again next time."
As Pan Tian stood there, the extreme loneliness suddenly surged into his heart like a tide.
This was Guo Yang's choice for him. Pan Tianyi admired him very much. In an instant, his eyes became moist.
Faced with the death of his lover and the departure of his children's playmates, Pan Tianyi left the building silently...
In the desolate and lonely south pole of the moon.
Mingyue left the Sky Eye observation control room and stood next to the huge crater. She blinked her big bright eyes and looked up at the Milky Way stars across the depths of the night sky. They were beautiful and full of mystery, which deeply aroused her. It inspired her curiosity and longing for the starry sky.
At the age of 19, she, like her father, stayed at the cosmic observation base with no human habitation for hundreds of kilometers, so loneliness and fantasy would always accompany her during her beautiful youth.
One day, the Lunar Sky Eye Observatory received an electromagnetic wave signal from the direction of Centauri, which shocked and excited Mingyue.
So, she hurriedly told the good news to her father who had returned from the earth.
Pan Tianming was very pleased with his daughter's rigorous work. He accompanied his daughter to continuously collect effective signals and gave his own insights into her analysis results to help his daughter make more breakthroughs in research on extraterrestrial civilizations.
"Mingyue, the signal in this band is likely to come from Proxima Centauri." Pan Tianming looked at the wave peak image on the monitor and the signal position monitored by the radio telescope.
"If there is an alien civilization in Proxima Centauri, this will be an important turning point and challenge for mankind. It also shows that human civilization is not the only existence on a large scale in the universe." Mingyue touched the crystal Guanyin on her chest. , inferred.
"From the time these electromagnetic wave signals were sent out to when we received them, we can infer that a major event must have occurred in Proxima Centauri b ten years ago." Pan Tianming continued.
"If this is the case, the civilization there may have suffered a disaster and is sending a distress signal to the solar system! It is also possible that the alien civilization has set the biggest trap for mankind, waiting for us to jump!"
Mingyue looked at her father and nodded, "There is no doubt that this will be the most important discovery of alien civilization at the end of the 21st century, and it will also be the most severe test for mankind."
"Humanity has built the first nuclear-powered spacecraft. We have handed over these most important astronomical observation data and research results to the Earth-Moon Space Joint Defense Center, hoping that they can make strategic plans that are beneficial to all human civilization." Pan Tianming looked out the window deeply, staring at the direction of the earth. 33
A few days later, in the Pamir International Space City, humans held another very important ladder meeting.
Foreign civilization research organizations from bases on Earth and Mars began to discuss unknown contacts from outside the solar system.
"Human civilization has realized nuclear-powered spaceships. Let some pioneers bring our friendship and resources to visit our Proxima Centauri civilization, hoping to promote mutual understanding and development." Someone put forward the suggestion of peace and friendship at the meeting.
"Your suggestion is hasty and we strongly oppose it!"
A representative of the adventurous faction stood up and interrupted, "Since the other side's civilization only sent out a distress signal, it means that the other side's civilization and technology are not enough to allow them to get out of the deep space of the universe. It just means that the other side is lagging behind us. Therefore, we Humanity should use nuclear-powered spaceships to colonize Proxima b and develop a second home on Earth, just like Columbus discovered the South American continent."
"We have not yet obtained enough information about Proxima Centauri b. Is it a cry for help or a trap? As for human civilization, we must not rest on our laurels and wait for death. We must always be prepared for the worst. Therefore, we suggest that we send the dispatch first Human volunteers go to investigate the truth and then make corresponding strategies. This is the best response plan." As the director of Earth-Moon Joint Defense, Ajiu stood up and spoke.
In the magnificent ladder hall, representatives from various countries around him immediately burst into thunderous applause...
At the same time, the Chairman of the Earth-Moon Joint Council, who was responsible for the Dauntless expedition, immediately issued a plan to recruit all human fire to the world at this Ladder Conference.
Part of this plan is to select the strongest people from the human race who can best adapt to long-term space life. Most of them come from the earth, and only a few come from the moon and Nuwa City on Mars.
Among these volunteers, a small number have awakened their consciousness and have special abilities to protect themselves in space; while most of the rest are prosthetics and simulated robots, who have begun to pour in from all over the world. Come to the Earth-Moon Space City continuously to participate in the maiden voyage of the Intrepid.
In this era, mankind finally discovered new elements and new materials, and finally made a breakthrough in the development of controllable nuclear fusion engines.
Of course, these are all inseparable from the contribution of high-energy physicist Yang Huan ten years ago. Based on his manuscripts and inferences, scientists discovered the extremely rare element 369 in the vacuum tubes of major colliders around the world. Later, after a complex process Storage technology combines it with the time crystal field to produce transparent crystals with supermagnetic and superconducting properties, which can be used in nuclear power generation, allowing fusion reactors to become increasingly miniaturized and controllable, even to spaceships. The birth of the controllable nuclear fusion engine.
In space beyond Earth.
A Dauntless spaceship, jointly built by the Eurasian coalition, is moored alone in the Yellow River dock.
The long cone-shaped starship has a huge ring device in the middle. It is a hyperring aerial shock device, which can build a protective wall in front of the spacecraft to destroy or teleport space meteorites blocking the waterway; and At the tail of the spacecraft, ten huge Suzaku reactors are installed. They are spraying violent plasma flames to the outside world according to different energy power outputs in the dark outer space. The powerful engine thrust is causing the spacecraft to emit a faint light. trembling.
The humanoid robots traveling in space are busy making final inspections and tests on the spacecraft. Among them, the Dauntless's life ecosystem and nuclear fusion engine system have all been tested by the most extreme and harsh environments.
At the same time, in the major ports of Pamir International Space City, moving broadcast propaganda signals are being conveyed to the earth and the moon every moment:
The Intrepid is about to embark on a voyage to Proxima Centauri. All volunteers and prosthetics participating in the Spark Project, please be sure to gather at the Yellow River dock within a month...
At the Huanghe dock, Huajiang Space Heavy Industry Group has begun construction of the second Fearless spacecraft. Like the first Fearless spacecraft, the spacecraft cabin can accommodate 10,000 human fire volunteers.
…
Some people died, but not completely...
