As time passed, a kind of ideological storm began to sweep across Venus, and then soon spread to the earth! Over the years, the Empire has deployed a complete signal network around the solar system, including a thousand superstring communication devices. The price is immeasurable; but it can transmit signals from outer space to Venus in the first time! And now, these detectors, etc., have been adjusted to their peak state!
Interstellar immigration! ! !
Get serious!
If everyone was still in a mood to watch the excitement before, now they are really paying attention! As the time approaches, while the solar system is rushing into the supernova debris, the interstellar immigration has entered a countdown.
Huge virtual clocks hang in the squares of every city on Venus. While counting down, they are also calling for volunteers. Interstellar immigration is absolutely voluntary: although the future is very good, as long as you immigrate now, each person will have one hectare of land permanently in the future; and a new empire will inevitably emerge, just like the original Venus. There are many opportunities, and these opportunities are specifically: nobility, land, and wealth! But—but again: it was too dangerous. Therefore, although the empire has loud propaganda, it adopts a voluntary principle.
But even if the empire has made all the dangers clear, people still flock to it: no need to doubt how many opportunities there are to build an empire! Venus is right in front! The first batch of tens of millions who followed us are now all wealthy people, as long as they develop better. The following batches were quite different.
However, people are still waiting. Even the empire is waiting! Wait for that return signal! Information from the Clairvoyance probe. Waiting for a signal 12 light years and 113 trillion kilometers away, a signal that will determine the future direction of human civilization!
Previously, relatively close detectors have arrived and returned signals; but as observed from astronomical observations, within 12 light years, only the Cetus constellation is a single star galaxy, and the rest are double stars or multiple stars. In the galaxy, the stars are disturbed, making it difficult to form suitable planets for life, and even the little water that is finally dried up is dried up. And there is a big problem with multiple galaxies: radiation is particularly serious!
Of course, there is another star named Nanmen that is more ideal, but that star is a bit bad-tempered. Burns violently and the temperature is extremely high. It's a hell there. Only in the constellation Cetus, the stars, like the sun, belong to the yellow dwarf sequence. This type of planet burns stably, has sufficient light and heat, and has a very long life - usually more than a few billion years. It is an ideal place for the birth of life. The solar coefficient extends around 20 light-years. There are only a few. And the whale constellation is a typical representative! As the closer signals returned, disappointment grew—and conversely, hopes for the whale constellation grew. In other words, the whale constellation has become mankind's only hope now. If it fails again... it will have a big impact on the empire's confidence! If nothing else, the Civilization spacecraft has been completed! The 117-kilometer-long behemoth is like a giant artificial satellite, which can be seen clearly from the ground of Venus.
Time has gradually entered the 60th year of the Imperial Calendar. The countdown of the hour hand is almost approaching zero, and people's hearts have become nervous. The empire has been continuously promoting it over the years, and everyone hopes that the Whale Constellation will serve as humanity’s second place of residence, and humanity can also carry out its first interstellar migration. To be honest, the nearly 60 years of empire building and open society have made people understand the pressures faced by mankind.
Especially now, the three continents on Venus are already populated by people. Venus also officially reached a population of 5 billion in the early 1960s, which is already half of the Earth! Now, Venus will no longer have the luxury of dumping food into the ocean. Today, the population on Earth has reached the unprecedented 10 billion mark, of which 2 billion people rely on food input from Venus every year.
However, at this stage, the earth has already begun to develop the moon. Maybe there's not enough gravity here, but it's so close to the earth! Moreover, some "experts" said again: low gravity is not a problem, as long as you exercise more, you can still get used to it slowly. And now that people are immigrating to the moon, there are various benefits and so on. Of course, before this, the Republic spent a lot of money to purchase some bases on the moon from the Empire. In the beginning, the Master Company spent a huge price on building the moon. Of course, it also almost hollowed out the surface of the moon.
But there is also an unexpected benefit, that is, the equipment left behind seems to be good now, and the ground has been hollowed out, which can be used to build a base! Build a settlement base beneath the ground! However, compared to the pattern of Venus, immigrants on Earth are a bit difficult to deal with. This leads to all kinds of weird words on the earth, which can cover the moon.
To be honest, from the moment Venus began to transform, the earth has lagged far behind in terms of structure!
Develop and develop... If you don't move forward, you will be left behind!
But no matter what, Venus itself now has a population of more than 5 billion. If they want to immigrate to space, the Venusians will not agree to the Earthlings! And a population of 20 million is really not that much for a population of 5 billion. Venus itself doesn’t even have enough points!

Feng Yunfei sat quietly next to the computer. This was a portable flat-screen office computer. Stereoscopic projection computers were suitable for games and entertainment, but traditional flat-screen displays still occupied a certain market for office work, information release, etc. Of course, today's technology is more sophisticated, and the displayed effect is almost completely similar to the real picture.
However, what is displayed on the screen at this moment is a huge countdown clock, with a line of words below: June 1, 60th year of the Imperial Calendar! According to official data, it is expected to receive information from the Clairvoyance spacecraft 12 light years away today!
Feng Yunfei, now 33, is already the father of a child; but five years ago, Feng Yunfei had received an admission notice because of his outstanding combat skills, but the passionate Feng Yunfei chose to immigrate! Of course, immigration is also needed. And his wife and son. As for his parents and a few brothers and sisters, they stayed on Venus. In recent years, Venus has encouraged births, and a family without three children would be embarrassed to say hello to others. It is normal to have five or six children - the more children you have, the greater the rewards from the empire; and the empire is responsible for raising them! Feng Yunfei grew up eating imperial food.
However, in recent years I have heard that the empire is preparing to introduce measures to restrict the population.
"Yunfei, it's time to sleep." His wife opened her hazy eyes, her long hair hanging down casually, and she had a different style. With his hard work in the past, Feng Yunfei could be regarded as marrying a woman with a small amount of assets. Gentle and beautiful - except in the game! The two also met in the game of StarCraft; as you can imagine. This is also a queen-level character in the game!
"Wait a minute." Feng Yunfei looked at the clock. It was only 25:00 in the evening, and there were still five hours until early morning. The empire's reputation has always been good, and even many people know it today. There are too many variables in the starry sky. A day or two late is normal. Even when the time was announced, the empire only said: It may arrive today! But the empire's long-standing credibility has made the people choose to believe unconditionally! In the past 20 years or so. No one has ever asked: What should I do if the empire breaks its promise? In people's minds, empire is the guarantee of credibility!
"However, there are too many variables in the universe, and even the empire can only say that it is 'possible' to return today, not necessarily. Tomorrow, we have to undergo training, so go to bed early. Huh?"
"Well... no, I'll wait. I believe that since the empire's scientists dare to say this, at least they have a certain degree of certainty, and they are not just talking randomly!"
"Okay, I'll accompany you..." The two hugged each other quietly and waited silently...
Likewise, on this day and in the past few days, whether it is Venus or the Earth, billions of people are waiting quietly for information from 112 light-years away!
That information is the key to determining whether humans will immigrate to interstellar space! The Empire is even ready to use superstring communication technology. If a signal is received here on Venus, it will be transmitted to the Republic at the same time!
In the palace, Zhang Jingyuan and other older generations were present, and even Zhang Jingyuan’s parents were present. The empire was not only about cultivation, a large number of practitioners had emerged over the years; there were also advanced technologies that were enough to ensure that these old people Healthy life. Not to mention, Zhang Jingyuan has started a small stove alone more than once for his own parents and those of his brothers.
Zhang Wenliang could only stand beside him, with a large number of descendants behind him, making it a family of seven generations.
Zhang Chengye personally leads his scientific team and is fighting in the front. Various equipment are constantly adjusted to ensure that it is in the best condition at all times. In fact, it is also a different kind of tension. There are so many elders behind him, and the whole world is here. Keep an eye on what's going on here.
However, time passed by and there was still no signal! Even Zhang Chengye used the superstring communication device to check the automation devices working within the Oort cloud and completed an inspection, but still nothing.
26 o'clock! No signal!
The clock is ticking... At this moment, even the steady Zhang Chengye is starting to get nervous! Today, it's not just a matter of the empire's credibility - although this shouldn't be a big deal, after all, as I said before, the empire is not 100% sure. However, considering that many people waited until late at night in front of the screen but did not receive the signal, the confidence of the people was still somewhat damaged.
Next to it, a half-meter-sized square meter shows the grand scene of the Imperial Capital Square. In the huge projection, virtual machinery moves around. People come with hope - and leave disappointed...
< br>
In addition to this, there is another question. If it fails, does it mean that there is still a problem with the empire's exploration of the universe? What if—what if something goes wrong! The universe is so big! Too complicated! In this vast space, sometimes I have to sigh: Manpower is exhausted!
Therefore, we have to consider a question: Did this launch fail? Yes, although I am unwilling to accept this result, I have to say - it is really very possible! At the scale of 12 light-years, perhaps just a few dozen decimal places after the decimal point were ignored, which would lead to a 12-light-year accident, a direct deviation of billions of kilometers... Billions of kilometers, enough to miss a small The star system!
The more I thought about it, the more likely it was. Suddenly, Zhang Chengye and Chen Feng looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes...
27 o'clock...the time is getting closer and closer to 30 o'clock! A slight torment. began to appear on the faces of all citizens of the Empire. On the contrary, on the earth, some people have begun to take pleasure in others' misfortune - although we are not ashamed of this behavior, we have to say that it objectively and widely exists in every corner of the earth, and intelligent life has this characteristic.
28 o'clock... Some people can't stand it any longer. Today is not a holiday (Children's Day has nothing to do with adults), and neither is tomorrow! Some citizens have already begun to disperse, preparing to rest for tomorrow's work. But these people's faces clearly showed disappointment!
At Feng Yunfei's home, Feng Yunfei was still looking at the screen with red eyes. In my heart, I was full of confidence in the empire. After 60 years of ups and downs since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the credibility of the empire is 100%, and the society has never been clearer. And this time the empire also showed that it was just possible. But don't know why. Feng Yunfei believes it. The empire must have a certain degree of certainty. The most important thing is. The result this time is related to your future development!
Likewise, being born in a country like Venus. Ordinary people are more or less concerned about the affairs of the empire! Feng Yunfei hopes that the empire will be prosperous, prosperous and permanent! When the quality of people's lives is directly linked to the country, the people will inevitably be loyal to the country!
The most important thing is: this time the Interstellar Immigration Empire has invested too much, and the people also have high hopes! If
Failure... Feng Yunfei didn't dare to think about it! When the whole society and the whole civilization are looking forward to it, if it fails... then the blow to the empire will be indescribable. It is also unacceptable to human civilization.
29 o'clock is already late, 30 hours a day, by this time, almost most people are extremely exhausted. However, there are still some people who firmly believe that the empire will create miracles! They are full of silent support for the Empire! Sometimes, even though I know I may not be able to wait, I will still give and support silently. This kind of behavior and spirit is silent, but it makes people warm! move! Sometimes the silent support is as strong as a mountain!
At 29:20, at this moment, even Zhang Chengye was confident that the signal would come back today. But at some point in the square, a sign was erected: Empire, we are waiting for you!
The silent pressure is as heavy as a mountain! The entire control center seems to have solidified! The air was heavier than ever before, as if the will of the citizens of the empire was concentrated here.
The tea has gone cold and no one cares. Even Zhang Jingyuan felt a certain pressure at this time! This is the expectation of the people of the empire and a turning point in human civilization.
Tick tock... the clock moves forward silently, time never slows down...
43 points...
47 points...
Everyone is biting their lips!
"Ding dong!" The screen flashed instantly, and several consecutive pictures suddenly jumped out of the screen! Although it's not clear, but...it's coming!
Coming? Coming! ! !
Wow... Zhang Jingyuan, who had always been calm, became nervous and crushed the already dry tea cup in his hand!
Li Changxing, who had always been indifferent, suddenly pushed the teapot on the table to the ground and smashed it into pieces!
However, no one cares about this anymore!
The signal is back! Signal from 12 light years away! The signal that spanned at least 113 trillion kilometers is back! ! ! Although there are only a few pictures of galaxies, just peripheral pictures, even a little blurry, the pictures without any processing seem to be the most beautiful pictures in the world!
In the dark starry sky, there is a gray spot in the middle, except for a light yellow spot the size of a grain of rice in the middle! This is a distant view of a galaxy. This is the first time that humans have taken a close look at the outline of an entire star system that may have life! There is nothing outstanding about it, it is chaotic and has nothing to do with beauty. But - it worked! Yes, it worked! This is the most touching part!
"Ouch..." Cheers! Unimaginable cheers erupted from all over Venus! People cheered and hugged each other!
At this moment, it is not just a signal issue, nor an empire credibility issue, but a great leap forward for human civilization!
From this moment on, we have completed the leap from space civilization to interstellar civilization!
From this moment on, we have the ability to explore galaxies beyond our solar system!
From this moment on, we will begin to expand!
From this moment on, we will let our dreams fly in the universe!
"Green Field Wine, Green Field Wine, everything is free from tonight to tomorrow day..."
"Dudu, sir, you have received a message from Virtual Communications Company: You have a day off tomorrow, have a great time tonight! Haha..."
"Long live the empire! Long live the empire!"
"People of the Empire, my name is Zhang Wenliang. This is just a picture of the outer reaches of the galaxy. In the next month or so, we will make public all the returned pictures, even videos, sounds, etc. at any time. Because from the outer reaches of the galaxy to the final It will take a month to reach the destination planet
Now, let's cheer together! ”
It was late at night, and suddenly, two pale white spots the size of a child's fist appeared in the sky - like satellites of Venus, reflecting the light from the sun. However, both of these are "giant artificial satellites" on Venus. One is the Civilization spacecraft, 117 kilometers in length and 40 kilometers in diameter! One is the smelted Io Io - now only about 1,000 kilometers of metallic material remain; the rest of the material has supplemented the mass of Venus. It seems that to celebrate the success of the empire and the leap of human civilization, not only humans themselves, but also the solar system are cheering. (To be continued...)
