Year after year...
Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. When human lifespan is generally extended, and the golden elixir period has almost become the symbol of adulthood in the new century, after human beings enter the era of the macrocosm, ten years is really not worth mentioning!
But just in these ten years, everyone has personally seen the power of life that has been scientifically designed!
In ten years, the diameter of the "Experimental Star 001" planet suddenly dropped from a diameter of about 11,000 kilometers to 10,740 kilometers! The rest were absorbed by artificial life! Calculating only at this rate, this planet will disappear completely in a hundred years - don't forget, the growth of plants is constantly accelerating - the longer the years, the larger the volume, and the stronger the absorption capacity!
According to scientists’ calculations, in a hundred years there will not even be silicon dioxide left on this planet—oxygen and silicon are two important elements for the development of science. Even oxygen itself is one of the foundations of human survival! Inside each blue "fruit" is compressed liquid oxygen!
"Let's go, we don't have any more time!" Zhang Chengye spoke slowly, his tone full of regret. It is cruel for a scientist to not be able to see the results of experiments in person, but to rely on machines or wait for others to tell them.
But there is something more important right now - migration!
On the way back, I took a look at the construction of subspace shuttle gates and found that two of them had been built in ten years. In fact, these materials, components, etc. have been prepared long ago and are all placed in the small space of the spacecraft. Now the small space of the spacecraft has reached a diameter of one hundred kilometers, which is simply a small world!
Both space shuttle gates are very small. The largest one has a diameter of less than 500 kilometers, and the smallest space shuttle gate has a diameter of only 200 kilometers! Such a shuttle gate can only transport some spacecraft within two hundred meters - the rest are generating devices.
But there's no way around it - on the one hand. The space of the fleet spacecraft stores a large amount of living, scientific research, energy and other materials. On the other hand, a complete scientific system - such as factories, etc. - must be prepared. These factories have to work continuously during the hundreds of years of human migration. Provide various supplies to mankind. This takes up a lot of space.
On the other hand, it is also a subspace shuttle door. After all, it is a new technology with high cost and difficulty in production. It also needs to be used one-on-one - that is to say, if two are arranged here, they must also be used in the universe at the other end. There are two corresponding entrances and exits so that it can be used.
Anyway. Just leave a window and let the rest do the rest! Even after the construction of the space door here is completed, the most that can be done is to set the fluctuation frequency and so on, so that it can be connected to the distance, and the rest will not be concerned.
Ten years have allowed many people to calm down. Although this place is good, it is obviously not as good as the Magellanic Clouds that are farther away and more brilliant! therefore. In ten years, not only did no one stay. On the contrary, there are many who strengthen the hearts of those who are wavering.
It's so empty here, so what if we stay? The more technological a society becomes, the more we cannot get rid of our dependence on society!
The reason is very simple: for seclusion in ancient society, just find a hilltop to live in seclusion. If you are missing something, just walk a few steps. And now. You live in seclusion on this planet, 35,000 light years away from the Chinese territory ahead! And once those complicated machines break down, you can only stare!
But to say, go back to the living conditions in ancient times. No one likes it unless you have to!
"Boom..." All the spaceships began to accelerate. Some frail people, or some people who are about to end their lifespan, begin to lie in the life freezing warehouse! They will spend a long space journey unconsciously.
3 million spaceships, majestic. But in the vast universe, it is so inconspicuous! It was like a few grains of gravel falling into the ocean, unable to create any waves.
Watching the stars begin to recede, watching the familiar starry sky gradually shrink. Inexplicably, a kind of worry began to hit my heart.
Many people stood quietly behind the portholes, silently gazing at the stars. A huge spaceship has many portholes, and powerful technology ensures the safety of these portholes and the reasonable structure of the spacecraft. Not to mention, there is energy protection.
Even Zhang Chengye suddenly felt wet at the corners of his eyes at this time.
When you are still in the Milky Way, you don't realize it because - not far behind you, is your hometown! Even the travel at that time could easily last decades.
But this time is different, we are leaving the galaxy! Although it is said that the Magellanic Clouds belong to the Milky Way system! But it doesn't belong to the Milky Way itself!
From now on, I have to leave my hometown!
"Please pay attention, please pay attention..." A soft female voice came, which was an automatic prompt on the spacecraft, "The spacecraft has reached 0.75 times the speed of light, and next we will activate space movement and joint warp shuttle technology.
< br>
Please return to your position and secure it.
The countdown begins: 10 hours..."
Ten hours is enough to get anyone back to their place. In the joint space travel technology, there will be a certain amount of compression inside the spacecraft. This kind of squeeze from space itself has made great progress since Chinese civilization began to study space technology; but it still cannot be completely avoided! Especially now, with the shuttle traveling at a thousand times the speed of light, the pressure is even greater.
Of course, if your cultivation level is above the Nascent Soul stage, you can ignore this pressure and sit behind the porthole, silently watching and watching the distant Milky Way!
Here in the Milky Way galaxy ring, it is more than 20,000 light-years from the edge of the Milky Way. The center is about 75,000 light-years away, allowing people to roughly see the huge body of the Milky Way. Of course, they can also clearly see the hazy light in the distant starry sky - those are other galaxies!
The Milky Way seen here is a completely different experience from the Milky Way observed near the solar system.
The Milky Way is like two straw hats buckled together, and they are slowly circling. Of course, this circling speed is relatively obvious from a distance.
The center of the Milky Way appears blue-white, with thick beams of light emitted from time to time, which are ejections from black holes. The surrounding area is bright yellow, showing a spindle with two spiral arms extending from both ends. But the two spiral arms begin to diverge not far away, so the Milky Way seen here is composed of two main spiral arms and four branch spiral arms.
The solar system is on the edge of a branching spiral arm. And the Milky Way we see on Earth is this spiral arm! Not the Great Spiral Arm, nor the Milky Way itself!
It’s just that in this bright starry sky, the so-called solar system cannot be seen at all!
Moreover, the spiral arm can only be said to be the most dazzling place for the stars. This does not mean that there are no stars outside the spiral arm; in fact, there are also stars outside the spiral arm - the solar system is the edge outside the main body of the spiral arm.
Brilliant stars are like pearls dotted on a straw hat; occasionally there are red, rose, blue-white, dark red, yellow and other flowers dotted among them - they are nebulae or star clusters - such as the Pearl Star Field, a large number of stars Gathered together.
Snap! A photo captures the panoramic view of the Milky Way; then it is sent back to the main body of Chinese civilization - based on this photo, China can easily discover more "Pearl Star Fields"!
"You can't see Chinese civilization! You can't see ice civilization and lava civilization! You can't see the so-called seventh-level civilization!
All I can see is the bright Milky Way! ”
Zhang Chengye murmured to himself. The tone was full of emotion, shock, and - the emotion of parting!
It may be another thousand years since I left here, and I can’t see my hometown! A one-way trip takes 300 years! Who would run back and forth with nothing to do? It is possible to freeze oneself, but after thawing, how will the dozens-year-old self get along with the hundreds-year-old descendants?
It is also for this reason that many citizens actually do not advocate such technology; even on this fleet, there are many people who would rather die of old age than enter a life freezing chamber!
"We are still too small!" Long Kaiyuan echoed from the side. But this is not flattery, but the same emotion! Only in the starry sky can you feel the insignificance of civilization! China is already a fifth-level civilization, but it cannot leave a shadow in such a starry sky.
Even though it is said that there are three level-7 civilizations in the center of the Milky Way, from this location, all you can see is the color of the Milky Way itself! Can't see any other light or shadow!
"We still have a long way to go. Today is another step forward for us! We will not stop. One day, Chinese civilization will shine like the scorching sun in the sky, shining on the universe!"
This is a sentence that came from the public channel, and I don’t know who said it. But this sentence is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.
"Tick tock...tick tock..." The countdown slowly decreases...
"Can we stop and let us take a last look at the Milky Way! When we reach the Magellanic Clouds, maybe the Milky Way we see will be just a big spot in the sky!"
"Yeah, stop for a moment. Just one day, one day! Let's take a look at the Milky Way again..."
Gradually, such voices began to gather; this is the voice of people! It was only then that people suddenly realized that this time, they were really leaving their hometown!
"Pause!" Zhang Chengye pursed his lips.
Development requires paying a price! And expansion requires leaving home! For the sake of the strength of civilization, we humans have to go out! Because when you go out, you can see farther and have a broader world!
The countdown was cancelled, and people stood silently behind the portholes. No need for telescopes or various auxiliary equipment, just quietly looking at the stars and looking at my hometown! At the same time, almost everyone here in the Chinese civilization looked outside the Milky Way, and could not see anything even on the ground. Because today is the time for humanity's first exploration and immigration fleet to leave the galaxy!
There is no bright moon and no farewell. Some can only bless silently. (To be continued...)
