The Star Shine continues to accelerate, and the particle propellers created by the nuclear fusion reaction give the Star Shine a huge amount of power.

Soon, Xingyao's flight speed exceeded the second cosmic speed of 11.2 km/h, broke free from the shackles of the Earth's gravity, and rushed out of the atmosphere.

At the huge booth, the audience's eyes focused on the holographic screen, witnessing the moment when the star broke out of the earth's atmosphere and the object lost gravity and floated.

"Report to the Earth, report to the Earth, I am the commander of the 'Xingyao' - Xie Hui, the Xingyao is free from the gravitational constraints of the Earth, the current speed is 17.9KM/h, the application continues to accelerate, and the direction of progress: Mars. A Chinese with the face of a country appeared on the holographic screen, reporting to the camera with a serious face.

"Boom", and the whole venue boiled at once.

"It worked, and the 'Starlight' broke out of Earth. ”

"Great, great, the Age of Interstellar Exploration has begun. ”

"Thank you to Xingyao Group and Mr. Zhou for letting us see this scene in our lifetime. ”

“……”

In the huge venue, the audience stood up excitedly, cheered, and countless people left tears of excitement, "Xingyao" is not a spacecraft powered by chemical fuel, but a controllable nuclear fusion energy source, and its take-off went smoothly, indicating that human civilization has completely opened the interstellar era.

"Permission to move forward, stay safe. Zhou Xing looked at the holographic screen and replied.

"The Star Shine received. Xie Hui received the order, and quickly, he focused his attention on the operation console of the spaceship.

Zhou Xing turned his head to look at the audience and introduced: "The 'Xingyao' voyage will fly to Mars for 30 days, drop the 'base seed', and open the prelude to the establishment of a space colony by mankind, and it is expected that within 2 years, a Mars base that can accommodate 100,000 people will be built." ”

With a "boom", there was chaos in the audience, and countless people were in an uproar.

"Mr. Zhou, isn't it the test flight of the 'Xingyao' today? What's going on with the Mars base?"

"Mr. Zhou, is Mars suitable for human survival?"

"Great, I don't have to worry about the Earth being overcrowded. ”

"Is this really? In two years, the 'Mars base' will be able to accommodate so many people?"

“……。 ”

Everyone thought that today was just a test flight of the 'Xingyao', and there was a great plan hidden in the follow-up, and all of a sudden, the whole stage was boiling, and the reporters rushed to ask Zhou Xing on the stage.

Zhou Xing pressed his hands weakly and said with a smile: "The test flight of 'Xingyao' was successful, and it is logical to open the Mars base." ”

"The establishment of a space base requires the fulfillment of four prerequisites, the first of which is that the spacecraft can be reproducible and that ensures cheap travel to and from space. The second condition: space mining completes the resource self-supply system: laser drilling machines, mining machine vehicles, large-scale intelligent industrial robot applications, perfectly solves this condition, the third condition: energy supply, there is nothing more perfect technology than nuclear fusion energy, the fourth condition is water resources, there are unstable water resources on Mars, however, as long as there is sufficient energy, this condition is easy to solve. Zhou Xing introduced to the audience in detail.

After a pause, Zhou Xing continued: "Mars, one of the eight planets in the solar system, the fourth planet in the solar system from the inside to the outside, it is a terrestrial planet, with a diameter of only 53% of the Earth and a mass of 11% of the Earth. The inclination of the axis of rotation and the rotation period are similar to that of the earth, and the rotation time of one revolution is about twice that of the earth, compared with the earth, the geological activity of Mars is less active, and the atmosphere is dominated by carbon dioxide, but it exists in water resources, and it is a planet that is most suitable for human beings to establish the first space colony. ”

Zhou Xing looked at the audience, smiled and finally concluded: "In more than ten years, Xingyao Group has developed intelligent robots, controllable nuclear fusion, life-extending gene technology, photonic computers, biological 3D printing technology, from quantitative change to qualitative change, we have gathered the technology to open the interstellar era, so you don't have to doubt whether the Mars base can be built, but should consider who will go to the Mars base first." ”

As soon as Zhou Xing's voice fell, the venue "snapped...... The applause was thunderous.

Everyone was attracted by the scene described by Zhou Xing, their eyes were hot, and their hands clapped desperately, paying high respect to him.

It's so great, Zhou Xing led human civilization step by step towards the interstellar era 'forward', when the life-extending gene medicine was born, he promised to solve the hidden dangers caused by the rising population, and now, the 'Xingyao' test flight was successful, and the time for him to fulfill his promise is getting closer and closer.

The technology developed by Xingyao Group has completely solved the need to build a space base, and it is believed that it will not be long before immigration to Mars will become a matter for everyone to consider.

Time flies, Zhou Xing's speech ended, and then the heads of state took the stage to deliver speeches.

The heads of state who stood on the podium gave wonderful speeches one after another, and the content revolved around the theme of the Mars base, the first space base of human civilization.

Soon, the 'Star Shine' test flight ceremony came to an end, and in the following days, the summits of various countries continued one after another, and the themes were all around: supporting the construction of the Mars base, population migration, and building a second spacecraft,...... , and so on.

At this great moment, there is only one voice left in the whole world.

"Star Shine flew out of Earth, and its target: Mars. ”

"The interstellar era has begun, and the future journey of mankind is the sea of stars. ”

"The 'Mars base' is opened, and it will carry 100,000 people in 2 years, can it be done?"

"Huaguo decided to invest trillions of Chinese dollars in the Mars program, and the first batch of scientists ,......。 ”

“……。 ”

The successful take-off of 'Xingyao' and the news related to the launch of the 'Mars Base' plan occupied the front page of major media around the world.

The photo of Zhou Xing standing on the podium, looking into the distance, and pointing to introduce the Mars base, has become a picture quoted by countless news media websites, and they have been named the 'navigator' of the interstellar era of human civilization.

Zhou Xing's reputation was unparalleled for a while, and women and children knew it.

However, Zhou Xing had no time to pay attention to the disturbances of the outside world, and entrusted all the efforts to deal with international affairs to his father, Zhou Wenhai, while Zhou Xing hid in the laboratory and continued to study the 'Time and Space Tunnel Machine'.

If you have time to argue with dignitaries from various countries, it is better to develop the 'Time and Space Tunnel Machine' as soon as possible, which is more meaningful.

In the underground laboratory, the needle drop could be heard, and Zhou Xing stared at the data stream in the holographic screen, waiting for Zhou Xiaozhi's calculation results.

Soon, Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing with an unbearable face and reminded: "Boss, the technical realization rate has reached 95%, but the uncontrollable risk rate remains above 20%. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded silently, a little deflated.

However, Zhou Xing quickly adjusted his mentality again, and he had long been accustomed to failure on the road of 'scientific research', and had a scientific research attitude of perseverance, failure to achieve the goal, and vowing not to give up.

"Boss, if you don't find some more 'wormhole' theories to exchange, maybe you can find other solutions. Zhou Xiaozhi reminded Zhou Xingdao.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "I want to change it too!"

"That's right......。 Zhou Xiaozhi nodded a little helplessly.

"Wait, what's going on, system, my contribution value has risen so much?" Zhou Xing checked the panel and was shocked by what he saw.

Spending 4.7 billion contribution points to exchange for 'Eighteen Treatises on Safely Passing Through Time and Space Tunnels', there should have been about 1.3 billion contribution points left, however, at this moment, his contribution value is 4 billion, and the difference of 2 billion will return to the state that has not been exchanged.

"Host, the contribution value is to count your contribution to the 'advancement of civilization', when all the influence targets are 'recognized', you will get the corresponding added value, the contribution value belongs to your influence targets, any changes in them are related to you, please control and treat your influence targets well, they will be a solid foundation for you to launch an impact on top scientists. The system reminded to answer Zhou Xingdao.

Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, pleasantly surprised, from the description of the system, he finally understood the way to obtain the contribution value.

The first is to promote the development of human civilization, the larger the population base, the larger the upper limit of the contribution value, and the second is the influence relationship, the more people who know him, the more they worship him, and the more contribution value they get.

"Understood, I understood, open the exchange list, I want to exchange materials, theoretical materials related to the 'wormhole'. Zhou Xing nodded and said excitedly.

Zhou Xing remembered something and added: "By the way, the theoretical data of the 'wormhole' instrument design puzzle solving class is also required." ”

"Okay! "The system responds.

Immediately, a list of exchange lists came into Zhou Xing's eyes.

Zhou Xing's eyes lit up, and he locked a theory in the dense list of lists.

"That's it, that's it, I'm going to exchange it," Space-Time Energy Theory. Zhou Xing excitedly asked the system.

The huge flaws in the 'space-time tunnel machine' are inseparable from the support of space-time theory, and the content of 'Eighteen Treatises on Safe Passage through Time-Space Tunnel' is too detailed, but it lacks the support of the main theory, just like a film, using the 'plot' but no main line, resulting in Zhou Xing's inability to touch the pulse of the 'space-time wormhole'.

"Host, the exchange is successful, and your 3.7 billion contribution points will be deducted. The system replied.

"Okay!" Zhou Xing nodded, not very heartbroken.

Zhou Xing now understands that as long as the human population continues to blow out, and he continues to research science and technology that has a huge impetus for human civilization, the contribution value will continue to be generated, and this thing is completely a renewable resource.

Zhou Xing instructed the system: "Go to the library!"

Immediately, Zhou Xing saw a virtual space full of rows of giant bookshelves.

Zhou Xing couldn't wait to sit down at the desk, couldn't wait to open the 'Theory of Time and Space Energy', and threw himself into it.

For example, from the atoms and elementary particles of the microcosm (neutrons, protons, electrons, neutrinos, quarks, antiquarks, imaginomons, ghosts, Taozi, etc.) in the microcosm to the black holes, stars, and quasars in the macrocosm, certain physical properties such as strong force, gravitational force, weak force, vacuum zero, and so on.

Countless energy knowledge that needs to be understood is constantly presented, and with the deepening of learning, the concept of multi-dimensional universe soon entered Zhou Xing's field of vision, there is no non-moving matter in the universe, and the 'space-time wormhole' is built on the basis of a multi-dimensional universe that is constantly moving.

………。

Time is like a white horse passing by, fleeting, more than two months have passed.

After arriving on Mars in 15 days, Xingyao dropped the 'base seeds' for the construction of the base, and then returned to Earth to carry the next batch of base construction materials.

The 'base seeds' abandoned on Mars began to work under Zhou Xiaozhi's remote control, and a huge number of construction machinery vehicles and engineering intelligent robots poured out of the 'seed bank'.

Mineral collection intelligent vehicles go around to detect the landform, find a suitable geographical environment for the construction base, laser drilling vehicles arrive at the collection point to prepare for the opening of the point of collection, human form, spider form, multi-legged multi-hand form, construction manipulator form,...... The base project quickly began to start, the solar panels were installed by the engineering robots first, and the simple solar energy generator sets were the first to be used to continuously transmit energy for the 'base'.

Various forms of engineering intelligent robots accepted Zhou Xiaozhi's orders to carry out various engineering construction, and soon, a 'dusty' construction scene appeared on Mars.

A large number of instruments in the base were quickly installed and started by engineering intelligent robots, humanoid machines began to transform the base with existing resources, engineering intelligent robots expanded around the base, and various small experimental "factories" began to be established in the base.

The laser drilling machine penetrates the ground, the excavation engineering vehicle excavates the foundation, the heavy engineering vehicle hammers the foundation and releases microwaves to harden the ground, the drill bit truck intelligent engineering vehicle begins to drill holes to open up the giant pipeline space, and within the 100,000 square kilometers centered on the base, a large number of intelligent robots act efficiently under the command of Zhou Xiaozhi.

The 'micro factory' inside the base began to be put into use, oxygen, aluminum, iron, titanium, silicon and other materials and other resources were continuously refined and separated, and the biological 3D printer was operated, and various instruments and equipment began to be manufactured to meet the self-supply task of the base's resources.

The entire base is full of various engineering robots, intelligent engineering vehicles are busy, and huge infrastructure projects are broadcast live for people all over the world through super quantum communication technology.

The holographic projection on the wall of the high-rise building, the wall-mounted TV on the elevator floor, the advertising board of the shopping mall, and the holographic screen of the pedestrian's wrist and brain,...... The magnificent construction picture of the 'Mars base' is constantly presented, and the outline of the Mars base is becoming clearer and clearer.

All mankind is staring at the progress of the construction of the 'Mars base', and after the dream of prolonging life and unlimited energy has come true, now interstellar travel and living on Mars have become the dream of countless people in all mankind.
