Chapter 317

"Captain, it's time." While thinking, Dr. Li Cheng of the Secretary's office suggested.

"I see."

Seeing that the space elevator was carrying the last batch of people to the Kunlun Mountains, Zhang Yuan sighed and then walked to the reporter.

The parting words before departure can be said to be a convention, not only for the 8 million people in the Kunlun Mountains, but also for the final farewell to the 6 million people remaining in the surface base.

He said solemnly on the TV station, "ladies and gentlemen."

"If we are to become a truly great civilization, we must do our best to play a greater role in the universe. Instead of hiding cowardly on his own planet like a country savage. Yes, this step is very difficult, really difficult. Cowards, lazy people, people who are skeptical of vagrancy plans, people who have lost the spirit of struggle and self-control, ignorant people, and insensitive people who can't feel the great encouragement of unwavering people... "

"Of course, all these people are afraid to see their civilization take on new responsibilities and see us carry out the seemingly unprofitable wandering plan! Afraid to see us undertake more obligations in the universe, afraid to see our brave soldiers and possible Star Wars "

"... if we do not participate in this fierce competition in which we must win with life and civilization, then civilizations that are more savage and powerful than us will get far away from us, and they can easily destroy us and control us. Even like the Gliese civilization, they don't even know they are dead. "

"Therefore, let us face the challenges of the future bravely, be determined to fulfill our duties with the spirit of a man, and safeguard justice with our vows and actions... Only through arduous and dangerous struggle can we achieve the goal of our civilization and progress!"

At this moment, everyone looked serious. Some people's eyes were red, their hearts were excited and their blood was surging.

Zhang Yuan's eyes twinkled with a firm look: "... We must not play the role of Gliese civilization or the role of earth civilization. If we repeat their mistakes, complacency and self-sufficiency, covet peace and pleasure in our own territory, gradually hatch degeneration, have no interest in the stories of the Milky Way galaxy, indulge in drunkenness and forget to work hard A noble life of hard work and adventure, busy all day to meet our physical temporary desires... "

"Well, there is no doubt that one day we will become the same mediocre civilization as them..."

"In the long river of time, we will be eliminated by the whole universe."

"These words will be brought to us who are going far away and to you who stay here."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuan gave a deep breath: "Kunlun Mountain fleet, set off!"

A huge fleet, including a super carrier, 23 "petrel class" frigates and 3 "falcon class" missile destroyers, officially set sail.

Bright ion flames burst out from the starry sky, which should be the last time Kunlun Mountain is in the starry sky.

Not a drill.

Eight million astronauts, looking at the familiar human base under their feet, cried, mourned and excited.

In this way, I left

……

In this way, six months of effort passed in an instant, and the whole hibernation work arrangement is going on in an orderly manner.

Although the design of Kunlun mountain can fully bear the normal life of tens of millions of people, in order to operate for a long time and save resources, the work and rest system of "two years of normal life and 18 years of dormancy" is implemented.

In other words, for a voyage of 50 years, the time that people can feel is about five years, which is quite acceptable.

The number of sober people has remained at 800000 for a long time.

800000 can be regarded as the population of a small and medium-sized city. It is enough to maintain the normal operation of all walks of life and the maintenance of the whole spacecraft.

This is a "falcon class" destroyer, about 5000 kilometers from the front of Kunlun mountain.

The whole fleet takes Kunlun Mountain as the core, the ring team launches, and their Spacecraft flies in the front position.

"Hey, in fact, this kind of life will be a little boring after a long time... I haven't seen a meteorite." Several soldiers are calibrating the data of the queue in the observation room.

This kind of Destroyer guarantees combat effectiveness. Of course, there is no so-called circular living area, so it is not so comfortable to live. It also needs to ensure a certain exercise time every day to reduce muscle atrophy.

"Boring what? It's normal not to see meteorites. Is there a one in 100 million chance of seeing meteorites... We escort here just to prevent small probability events. "

"Interstellar navigation is like this. It is said that the first generation has sailed for 3000 years!"

Speaking of this, all the soldiers still admire it. Three thousand years is a desperate number. People's average life expectancy is not three thousand years. Now, a voyage is only fifty or sixty years.

The goal of this voyage is "187j3x2", a blue dwarf star 5.2 light-years away. Theoretically, there is no environment suitable for biological survival, but who knows

People chose this planet because... It is the nearest star along this cosmic string.

Of course, this voyage is always meaningful. Whether it's a close-up study of blue dwarfs or a long-distance voyage test, if you don't try the first time, how can there be a second and third time behind.

5.2 light years is an acceptable distance. If there is a public mutiny or other small probability accidents, you can still struggle to return.

Even if the probability is small

"In fact, living in the Kunlun Mountains is no different from the surface of the planet. I really want to eat Yile ramen and add some beef sauce."

"That said, there is a psychological gap... How many resources does the planet have and how many resources does our spacecraft have? It's totally different. "

At this time, they suddenly heard a cough behind them and quickly stopped chatting.

It's Li Junkang, the captain of Eagle Falcon 1.

Li Junkang glanced at the data on the screen. The starry sky outside is always so dark, as if it had never changed. Over the years, he has been promoted from a former soldier to the captain of the destroyer.

The greater the power, the greater the responsibility.

The whole voyage lasted six months, and there was always some boredom. Hearing the gossip between them, he didn't blame too much. Instead, he said, "well, everyone, don't talk a little. The formal task will be carried out soon. 20000 kilometers ahead, is that the position of the cosmic string? "

At present, the speed of the spacecraft is not fast. After all, it only depends on its own engine for propulsion. The speed is about 32 kilometers per second.

"Report to the captain, theoretically, there are 19089 kilometers left."

From the screen, there is nothing in that space. The so-called cosmic string seems to be hidden in another dimension

After all, it is a one-dimensional spatial structure. If scientific instruments hadn't scanned it back and forth many times, it would be impossible for people to find it accurately.

"Are there any meteorite trajectories observed around?"

"We have activated large flares and have not observed meteorites with a diameter of more than 20 cm."

Li Junkang nodded and commanded: "inform other spacecraft that we have reached the established area, calibrate the route and return to Kunlun Mountain in turn. This gravitational acceleration work will officially start in 15 minutes. "

"Command received!"

This series of notices soon spread to the whole queue, including the mother ship Kunlun Mountain in the middle.

All the escort ships turned on their engines and re mounted on the edge of Kunlun mountain.

Gravitational acceleration, start!
