850 Embarks on the journey

"I'm not standing here to welcome you, at least not to welcome all of you to this great and first space city in the hands of mankind, because I know that not everyone who came here set foot on this land for that great dream in their hearts!"

"But as I stand here to tell you, I want to reiterate again and again, that this is a great time for the civilization of Earth. Why does the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info say that this era is great enough? Because in the long river of human civilization, there has never been a time when we stood so high today! ”

"Climb high and look far! Standing on the tower, we can see a block; Standing on the top floor of the Empire State Building, we can look down on a city; Standing on the top of Mount Tai, you can see the sky and the sea; And today, when you stand here, you can see the whole earth; And in the near future, when we board Expedition One, I hope to be able to let everyone present see the whole universe, and this is the greatness of this era, and we can see far more than any other era in history! ”

"Today, millions of people are listening to my speech in this city, and in the near future, one-tenth of you will follow me on Expedition No. 1 to open up the vast universe on behalf of human civilization, so you are all the elite of human beings today, and everyone who sets foot on Expedition No. 1 in the future is one of the best in the hundredth!"

"Just three days ago, standing on the viewing balcony of the villa, looking at the bustling crowd at the ladder station, my partner asked me, are you really not afraid of absorbing millions of people to this city full of secrets in such a short period of time, without even going through a minimum loyalty screening? I told him that I was not afraid! I'm really not afraid! Why? Because I know that if it weren't for someone who had the same dream as me, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to access secrets here! Here, you will not only have to compete with the people around you, but also with the millions of people on Earth who have the same dreams, but are not allowed to set foot in the city for the time being because the places are full. Although they are still on Earth, they will also have similar training every day to stay in top shape, waiting for the call of the vast universe! ”

"Or you scoff at it with something else in mind! Because you feel like you're strong-willed! Because you're good enough in every way! But don't forget, most of the people around you have the same dream, they are not weaker than you, they are just as good in other aspects! They are influencing you every day! We are a collective, a collective destined to live and die, share weal and woe! The goal of this collective will not change because of any other interest factor, because we represent the civilization of the earth, your loved ones, everyone you love and hate, and every life and every will on the planet under our feet! This is our historical destiny! ”

"Yesterday, you came from all over the world, you came from different countries, you came from different nationalities, you have different skin colors, beliefs, and values, but from today onwards, there is no difference between you, you have a unified title - earthling, you represent the blue planet that gave birth to our civilization and nurtured us for thousands of years, and your name will be engraved in every corner of that planet for future generations to pass on!"

"Five hundred years ago, Christopher Columbus led his fleet around the world, and today, our goal is to travel around the universe! We will open up a broader space for the inheritors of human civilization! We're going to face a sight we've never seen before, and an alien civilization we've never come into contact with! We will hold a pious attitude, just to see further, just to solve the doubts in our hearts, only to spread the seeds of earth civilization to every corner of the universe, only for tens of thousands, or millions of years, not because of a meteorite that cannot be avoided, so that human civilization has never appeared in this universe, and has not even left a trace! ”

"Remember, this is the greatest of times! And your task is to strive to be the greatest man of our time! ”

Five years ago, Wang Shizi's speech at the celebration of the Million Migration Plan of the Space City seemed to still echo in his ears, and today, in the space port of Xingyao City, more than 100,000 people gathered together, suppressing their excitement, waiting to embark on the ceremony of Expedition 1, and the whole world is waiting to listen to his voice again.

That's right, after five years of hard work, the expedition 1 was finally completed, and after various rigorous tests, it finally came to the official test day.

And if no problems are found in this test drive to visit several major planets in the solar system, this group of people who have embarked on the journey will officially bid farewell to the earth today.

According to the plan, the test expedition 1 will first go to explore Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, which humans have not yet visited, if there is no problem after a round of test runs, the expedition 1 will follow the designated route to the center of the Milky Way, which is nearly 50,000 light-years away from the solar system, according to the research of these years, there is likely to be a wormhole leading to the outside of the Milky Way.

The reason why it is not explored in the Milky Way is because according to the analysis of a group of scientists, Wang Shizi recognized the conclusion that it is unlikely that there is an alien civilization in the Milky Way that far exceeds the civilization of the earth, and there are many reasons. For example, if there is really a civilization in the galaxy that is about the same level as the Earth's civilization level or much higher than the Earth's civilization level, the probability that the two sides have not intersected so far is almost negligible.

Especially in recent years, space telescopes, as well as the ****** of ultra-long-distance signal source acquisition technology, have greatly expanded the scope of human beings that can listen to the universe. Or allow humans to discover some clues to the existence of civilization.

So far, there has been no sign of other civilizations in the system, either there are no other civilizations in the galaxy, or there are other civilizations, but the level of civilization development is far less than that of the earth, or too much more than the earth! So Wang Shizi didn't want to waste his time in the galaxy. He has his own careful thoughts, although he can't be sure whether there are really other intelligent life in the galaxy, but one thing Wang Shizi can be sure of is that his grandfather's civilization will never be in the galaxy. If you add in the fact that he could have planned the expedition route of Expedition 1, this decision is naturally logical.

It's been five years!

When he first walked out of the mountains, Wang Shizi was only a 17-year-old boy, but now he is a middle-aged man who has just entered the age of not being confused. In his own words, his bodily functions would inevitably begin to decline next, and he was naturally reluctant to continue wasting time in places where there was no need to probe.

Especially since the galaxy is so huge, God knows how long it will take to really explore all the planets that may be pregnant with civilization or human existence. It is better to give this task to the second or third group of people on earth who will embark on a vast journey in the future.

"Today, standing here, my excitement is self-evident!"

On the temporary rostrum set up in the square in front of the spaceport of Xingyao City, Wang Shizi finally said the first sentence of the speech.

Today, Yan Xiaoxi and Wang Xinyao are standing by his side, silently supporting him, and when the speech is over, the family will also be the first to board the ferry boat and enter the Expedition No. 1, which is quietly hovering outside the space port.

Or is the reason why the mentality has always been very calm, in five years, there has not been many traces of time carved on Yan Xiaoxi's face, and the young woman who has entered her 40s still looks as charming as a girl in her twenties, and Wang Xinyao has become a slim big girl. In the past five years, I have followed Wang Shizi to exercise in the early morning every day, experienced various astronaut voyage adaptability training with millions of people in Xingyao City, and carried out various studies every day through virtual teaching technology, so that this girl who is only ten years old has a pride and maturity far beyond her peers.

This pride has nothing to do with family background, but comes from Wang Shizi's words and deeds, and from unremitting efforts and studies for dreams every day. To paraphrase a witty phrase on the traditional Internet ten years ago, this girl not only has a more noble family background than others, but also works harder than others, which is simply not a way to live! Or this is also the reason why the 100,000 people in the audience looked at this little girl with not only love and pity, but also respect, this kind of tenacious perseverance is not something that everyone has. This kind of childhood seems boring to outsiders, but she is willing to eat it. This is the real princess in their minds.

That's right, it's a princess, not a metaphor!

As Wang Shizi said five years ago, after five years of training and integration, the 100,000 people who were finally selected have become a family. They have abandoned their former identities, they do not represent any country, they do not represent any nation, they do not represent any color of people, they represent the earth, they are all mankind, they undertake the task of spreading the seeds of civilization on the entire earth, they are already a whole.

Therefore, Wang Shizi is their king, and Wang Shizi's daughter is naturally their princess.

"Expedition One, right there!"

Wang Shizi turned sideways and pointed to the giant ship hovering outside the spaceport and said loudly.

"It carries our dreams, the hopes of all people on the earth, the unyielding will on behalf of the earth's civilization, and all our pride and persistence!"

After speaking, Wang Shizi put down his arm, slowly looked around the square, and finally landed on Tang Sen, who was standing in the front row.

Wang Shizi of the Star Group has been completely handed over to Tang Sen.

Regarding the arrangements for the Star Group after he left, they have also been distributed in an orderly manner.

The huge group was split into 23 companies, each listed in 18 countries around the world, with shareholders all over the world.

And now Tang Sen has officially become the chairman of the head office of the Star Universe, with hundreds of millions of wealth in his hands, and the space city belonging to the Star Universe has almost been built. This vast technological empire has finally fallen into his hands. It's just that at this time, the man didn't seem excited, on the contrary, his face was sad.

"Finally leaving! Today, we are about to set out to set foot in a field that no one has ever set foot before. Today, we will say goodbye to our family and friends, strive for the future of mankind, and find hope to make the earth's civilization more brilliant! So friends who are still on Earth, you are our rear, our last hope, so I hope you can follow in our footsteps and continue to hold on to our dreams in the future, or when we return to Earth, if there is a day, the galaxy has been planted with flags representing the civilization of the earth! ”

Seeing Tang Sen nodding slightly, Wang Shizi smiled and moved his gaze to the larger crowd behind 100,000 people.

"My comrades-in-arms, you have persevered in five years of hard life, but in the end our Expedition No. 1 can only accommodate 100,000 people, and you will continue to stay here for the time being because of age or other reasons, but I hope you will not slack off. Expedition 2 is already under construction, and in the future you will be tasked with exploring the galaxy. Since you have chosen this path, since you have chosen to live in this city, then you have to take your responsibility! And I believe that with the baptism of the past five years, your future will be brilliant! ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Shizi set his eyes on the heads of the earth who came to the rostrum and sat neatly on the viewing platform on the right side.

"I once said at a meeting of the Space City Allocation Program that the integration of Earth's civilizations is irreversible! This is the inevitable choice of the times! I also believe that the earth's civilization will continue to flourish in the hands of all of you. Sincere cooperation between countries means that in the future, we will be able to speak with the same voice in this galaxy and this universe in the future! May that day come soon! ”

In the end, Wang Shizi turned his head, stared closely at the 100,000-strong phalanx with a serious face in front of him, and said in a loud voice: "I don't have much to say to you today!" Because we still have too many opportunities to talk together, we are comrades-in-arms sitting on the same boat, and our lives are destined to share honor and disgrace, life and death! So, I announce, board! ”

As the words fell, a high cheer rang out from the square, and the phalanx, which had already been prepared, began to enter the spaceport in a neat line in the order that had already been determined.

They will enter Expedition 1 in the spaceport on hundreds of small ferries that have already been prepared.

And Wang Shizi walked to the rostrum with his wife and children, there are the Tang family, General Yang, the old man who is still alive in Yanjia Village, Yue Shaohua, and all the people he is familiar with on the earth.

In the end, a thousand words turned into the last goodbye: "Goodbye then!" Take care! ”

"Goodbye! Take care! ”
