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

"I see."

Zhang Yuan saw that the space elevator was carrying the last batch of people to Kunlun mountain. He breathed a sigh and then walked to the reporter.

It can be said that the parting words before departure are a kind of convention, not only for the eight million people in Kunlun Mountain, but also for the six million people left in the surface base.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he said solemnly on television

"If we are to be truly great civilizations, we must do our best to play a greater role in the universe. Instead of hiding on your own planet like a country savage. Yes, this step is very difficult. It's really difficult. Cowards, sluggards, people who are skeptical of the vagrant plan, people who have lost the spirit of struggle and self-control, people who are ignorant, and people who are insensitive and unable to feel the great inspiration of the unswerving people.... "

"All these people, of course, are afraid to see their civilization take on new responsibilities, afraid to see us carry out the wandering plan that seems to have no benefit! Afraid to see us take on more responsibilities in the universe, afraid to see our brave soldiers and possible Star Wars "

" If we don't take part in the fierce competition that must be won by life and civilization, then civilizations stronger than ours will leave us far away, and they can easily destroy us and control us. Even like the glitzer civilization, they don't even know they are dead. "

"Therefore, let's face the challenges in the future bravely, and be determined to fulfill our duties with manliness, and uphold justice with our vows and actions Only through arduous and dangerous struggle can we achieve our goal of civilization and progress! "

At this moment, everyone looks serious, some people's eyes are red, mood is excited, blood is surging.

There was a firm look in Zhang Yuan's eyes We can never play the role of the glitzer civilization, nor the role of the earth civilization. If we follow their mistakes, complacent, greedy for peace and pleasure in our own territory, gradually incubate and degenerate, have no interest in the story of the galaxy, indulge in paper intoxication, forget the noble life of hard work and adventure, and are busy satisfying me all day The desire of our bodies for the time being... "

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

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

"These words are for us who are going far away, and for you who are staying here."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuan deeply breathed: "Kunlun Mountain fleet, departure!"

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

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

It's not a drill.

Eight million astronauts, looking at the familiar human base under their feet, are crying, mourning and uplifting.

In this way, I left

……

In this way, six months of effort passed in a flash, and the whole work arrangement of hibernation was in an orderly way.

Although the design of Kunlun mountain can fully support 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.

That is to say, for a 50 year voyage, 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 is also a small and medium-sized city. It is enough to maintain the normal operation of all walks of life and the maintenance of the entire 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, and the circle team launches, while their spaceship flies in the most forward position.

"Well, actually, this kind of life seems a little boring after a long time There's no meteorite in sight. " Several soldiers are in the observation room to calibrate the data of the queue.

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

"Boring what? It's normal not to see a meteorite. Is there a one in a billion probability of seeing a meteorite We are escorting here just to prevent small probability events. "

"That's what interstellar navigation is all about. It's said that the first generation sailed for 3000 years."

Speaking of this, all the soldiers still admire it. Three thousand years is a hopeless number. The average life span of people is not three thousand years. Now, a voyage is only 50 or 60 years.The goal of this voyage is "187j3x2", a blue dwarf 5.2 light-years away. Theoretically, there is no environment suitable for living creatures, but who knows

The reason people choose this planet is because It's 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 voyage, how can there be a second and a third.

5.2 light years is an acceptable distance. If there is a mass mutiny or other small probability accident, we can still struggle to return.

Even if the probability is not big

"In fact, living in the Kunlun Mountains is no different from the earth's surface. I really want to eat the Yile Ramen inside and add a little beef sauce."

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

At this time, two people suddenly heard a cough behind, quickly stopped chatting.

This is Li Junkang, the captain of Falcon 1.

Li Junkang took a look at the data on the screen. The starry sky outside is always 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 their chatting, he didn't blame them too much. Instead, he said, "OK, everyone, stop chatting. We are going to carry out the official task soon. 20000 kilometers ahead, is that the position of the cosmic string? "

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

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

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

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

"Have you observed the trajectory of meteorites around?"

"We've activated large flares, and we haven't seen any meteorite with a diameter of more than 20 cm for the time being."

Li Junkang nodded and said: "inform other spaceships that we have arrived at the designated area, calibrate the route and return to Kunlun Mountain in turn. The gravitational acceleration work will officially start in 15 minutes. "

"Order received!"

This series of notices soon conveyed to the whole queue, including the carrier Kunlun Mountain in the middle.

All the escort spaceships, turn on their engines and re mount on the edge of Kunlun mountain.

Gravitational acceleration, let's go!
