There is no particularly accurate definition of biology itself. According to some theories of cellular automata, only a few simple rules are needed to form a complex abnormal system under the rules of time and space.

Just imagine, even if there are many living planets in the ordinary and impermanent solar system, what does it mean?

If a person bought a lottery ticket and won, it may be because of good luck; if he bought two lottery tickets and won, it may not only be because of good luck, but also because of the high probability of winning the lottery itself.

Because the existence of these complex organic matter, on the contrary, proves the universality of life in the universe.

But don't worry about it. Humans once sent a lot of electromagnetic waves to glitzer 581.

As a result, there was no response

Human beings have never observed that glitzer 581 has the limit of intelligent civilization.

On the contrary, Zhang Yuan is even more worried about whether the human immune system can adapt to the complex microbial environment of other planets.

"It's no use thinking too much, but be prepared in advance." Elder martial brother Zhao patted him on the shoulder and turned back to the cabin.

……

Time goes by day after day, and it's time for hibernation. This year was a very full one, and he learned a lot of new things.

But this time of hibernation, with a faint sense of melancholy, after saying goodbye to his teachers and friends, Zhang Yuan went to say goodbye to the old captain.

The old captain Ma was looking at the sky in the star library and sighed, "children, do you know the origin of the spaceship earth age?"

Five 13-year-old children are watching curiously in the star library. It's the first time that they have experienced this gravity free condition and witnessed the stars all over the sky with their own eyes.

A child quickly replied: "of course, it was built by the earth civilization!"

The old captain asked, "do you know where the earth is?"

“…… It's a big, big planet with lots of people in it. "

Another child excitedly said: "I have seen from the book that there are many delicious things, funny things and some cartoons."

Although the children have not so deep feelings towards the earth civilization, they have enough curiosity.

The old captain continued to ask, "do you know how many people are needed to build this spaceship?"

"Half a million?"

500000 is already all the people in the spaceship, which is the biggest concept in their mind.

"Wrong, three zeros more!"

The old captain said with a smile: "at least 500 million people! They directly or indirectly participated in the construction of the spaceship. The preliminary planning and supporting equipment took 60 years, and the whole construction took 40 years.... "

These children are shocked speechless, this grand plan, has gone beyond their imagination.

The education on the earth age is very strict. Under the condition of poor resources, when you are old, you will have some physical labor.

Material life is not so good, there are not so many toys.

Children from poor families are always more precocious, and they are deeply aware of the huge number.

The old captain asked, "if you arrive at the new home star, complete the basic industrialization and solve the problem of survival, are you willing to spend a lot of effort to build the next deep space colonial ship?"

“…… Don't rush to answer. You'll spend your whole life on this. Then, this ship doesn't belong to you. It will slip away from you. "

A few children were stunned, and there was no way to speak.

At the thought that life-long efforts will leave his arms, there is a kind of colic that is hard to give up.

They already know the distance of light years and how hard it is to travel alone. I know more about the importance of money to life.

The old captain laughed and explained, "this is not a meaningless thing. In the best of times, we dedicate the most brilliant part of our civilization and throw it into the vast universe and grow into a brand-new seed.

"This is the idea of our new civilization, which we call Seeding plan

"We can't guarantee that our civilization will get rid of the fate of mediocrity. Our mathematics is not strong enough, our will is not strong enough, we do not know whether the future road is right, so we must do it

“…… Only in this way, year after year, day after day, generation after generation in the ruins of constant rebirth

"With our broken history, to illuminate the future road."

"I believe that one day..."

"There is a generation of civilization that can produce real qualitative change!"

“…… It will become a real supernatural civilization, a legend in the universe! Far more than we exist

"That's what we're doing! Are you still willing to do it now? "When the children heard this, they were excited, and the feeling of heartache seemed to be alleviated a lot.

"So I want to be captain

"Me too!"

Several children quickly raised their hands.

The old captain burst out laughing.

He has decided not to hibernate any more and will spend the last period of his life doing what he wants to do. It's also good to educate the next generation of children and accompany this spaceship that has stayed for a lifetime to wither.

If you feel sorry, others may not feel sorry. If you feel happy, others may not feel happy. One of the real feelings is that people drink water, warm and cold.

The old captain looked back and said with a smile to Zhang Yuan, "are you going to hibernate soon?"

The deep wrinkles on the old captain's face, like a gully, the whole person looks, but there is a strong sense full of strength. He devoted his life to this spaceship. Here, it's almost over, but it's far from over.

This kind of strong atmosphere will make people subconsciously ignore his age.

Zhang Yuan nodded: "an hour later..."

"I'll give you a ride!"

The light in the large hibernation room is always dim and hazy. Zhang Yuanzong thinks that there is an unreal illusion here.

The hibernation device is like a time travel machine.

Unfortunately, it's just a one-way ticket to the future. It's impossible to go back to the past.

He and the old captain's friendship is not too much, but at this moment, or produced a kind of unspeakable feeling.

The first group of human beings withered in the deep air

Really

Great enough.

There will be a second batch, a third batch.

Parting is not a comfortable thing after all.

"Tragedy and drama are just the feelings of others. I've been safe all my life, and I haven't made too many mistakes. It's already very good. I feel very satisfied." The old captain saw his mood and laughed faintly.

"I can only send you here."

"It's you. You still need to refuel..."

"Future challenges, all of you."

With a light sound, the cover of the hibernating barn was closed, and a kind of dizziness appeared in Zhang Yuan's mind. The last scene he saw was the old captain smiling at him kindly.

……
