Lin Youde can't remember the first time he stood on the 'stage' and spoke to the world.

He glanced at the speech that Ysera had helped to change many times, then gently folded it up and placed it on the oratorium, never to look at it again. He looked at the scientists, engineers, and countless cameras in the audience, and said slowly into the microphone in a deep voice: "I have given speeches countless times, and to be honest, I am a little tired. So I'm not going to speak today, I'm just going to share with you how I feel right now, as an old man.

"When I was in my early twenties, my motherland was suffering from internal and external troubles, and with the enthusiasm to save the country, I crossed the ocean with a group of like-minded friends. At that time, I didn't think much in my heart, and I was thinking about learning more skills so that I could serve the motherland in the future. I didn't even think about how to do it, I just wishful thinking that if I learned a skill, I could change everything.

"Later, I somehow became an adviser to the leader of the German Revolutionary Party, and at this time I finally began to think about how I should serve my country, because I already had a new bond in Germany at that time, and it was impossible to abandon this bond and return to China. Of course, I also thought at the time that if the revolution failed, I would take Viola and Chihiro on a thousand-mile escape to return home, and if that were the case, the content of my memoirs would probably change from political and diplomatic hegemony to adventures like "Around the World in 80 Days". That might sell a little better. ”

There was laughter from the audience.

"Oh yes, my memoir is on sale right now, and I hope you can pick up the phone and order a copy after listening to my speech."

The audience laughed again, and on the viewing platform behind Lin Youde, Ysera looked like she wanted to come up to remind Lin Youde of her self-respect, but was suppressed by Viola.

Viola and Chihiro are both smiling, and Lin Youde's speech seems to remind them of a time in the past.

"To get back to the point, I couldn't return to China at that time, and in the concept of Chinese, this is a typical beauty lover who does not love rivers and mountains. If the future generation wants to give me the title of an old pervert, I can only admit it. Therefore, after the success of the revolution in Germany, I began to think of ways to wash away this 'stigma', including providing funds and weapons to the New Ming revolutionaries, who were still operating underground at that time, and so on.

"In the process, I have gained a loyal knight and forged a new bond with a quirky little girl.

"But the clouds of war soon hung over us, and I had to begin to rearm myself in an effort to keep Germany alive from the war that was bound to come. Yes, to survive, you always think that I am a military strategist and careerist, so many people are very puzzled that I chose to cease the war when the German army was victorious, but in fact, I was prepared for defensive operations from the beginning, and the goal was only to survive.

"Natalia over there has a very interesting expression, it seems that she thinks I'm talking nonsense, which is understandable. After all, the German army went so far into Russian territory and took the big oil fields of Russia. However, whether it was the oil fields or Ukraine, they were all essential for Germany to survive the war. I had to attack.

Similarly, the offensive in North Africa was aimed at preventing the United States from fighting a perfect landing war. At that time, Germany could not resist such a landing, and we had to use other means to ensure the security of the Mediterranean.

"All of these efforts are made so that I, and my loved ones, do not have to be displaced. I succeeded, and the most terrible war in the history of mankind ended. And now, we have turned the war into jade silk and built this great spectacle together, and I, myself, and my old rival Charlotte? Miss Roosevelt became a close friend. ”

Lin Youde said, looking back at Charlotte Roosevelt, who was also sitting on the viewing platform, Roosevelt was wearing a very fashionable hat, looking much younger, and was smiling at Lin Youde there.

"To be sure, I didn't get nothing in that terrible war, at least personally. I met more people who I truly loved, gained more happiness and even had a love affair with Her Majesty the Queen of an enemy country that was destined not to be understood by many. I also took in lovely Italian girls, and two of them, and after the war, French girls with whom I had long been friends also came to my palace.

"It was also during the war that my daughters were born, and they brought me great joy and happiness in the decades that followed. None of this would have happened without this war, so, I would say, war is not for nothing, but it gives too little and takes too much. Too many lives have been lost in this war, and too many fortunes have been burned. Too much sorrow remains in the memory of those who are still alive.

So I started thinking about how humanity could prevent the same tragedy from happening again. We already have nuclear weapons and imaginary space conversion weapons, and if we go to war again over resources, what awaits us will be destruction. I don't know what kind of weapons we will use to fight the Third World War, but I do know that the Fourth World War will definitely be fought with stone tools. ”

The applause rang out, so that Lin Youde had to stop, it seems that Lin Youde's words went to the hearts of all the scientists present.

And the result of thinking is this Babylonian project. In the same way, I have repeated it many times on various occasions, but I will repeat it here anyway: if we have an inexhaustible source of land, there will be no war for it; If we had an inexhaustible supply of minerals, there would be no war for them; If we had an inexhaustible supply of energy, there would be no war for it!

"Then the question is, is there really an inexhaustible supply of everything, the answer is yes, these are in the starry sky above our heads."

Lin Youde raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

"The universe is the last frontier of mankind, and only by moving towards the universe can we avoid the fate of extinction.

"Now, we've finally taken the first step, but that step will only take us off Earth, and the next step will be to colonize the Moon, then Mars, and then Jupiter's moon Europa. Our footsteps will be all over the solar system. And in the distant future, we will step out of the solar system and towards the Milky Way.

"Scientists in this room may be asking, is it possible that the nearest star outside our solar system is 4.5 light-years away, and it will take us hundreds of years to fly there? Don't worry, my top scientists have a great idea that will allow us to travel between stars faster than the speed of light. Of course, it is now only an idea, and with the power currently possessed by humanity, it is almost impossible to realize it. However, as interstellar colonization begins, we will surely have enough strength to complete our first starship. When the time comes, our footsteps will cover the entire galaxy.

"This was the beginning of a great journey and my biggest dream after the end of World War II. Now, I'm relieved to see that this dream has finally come true for the first stage. I am happy at the moment, and there is nothing happier than watching my dreams come true. ”

Lin Youde paused, thought for a full three seconds, and then sighed softly: "I have nothing more to say, thank you for listening to an old man's tirade, I think in the future, I may not make such a speech again, to be honest, it is much easier to read the manuscript than to improvise like this, at least you don't have to worry about saying the wrong word." ”

There was another good-natured laugh from the audience.

"Now, I declare that the Babylon Project is officially launched!"

Lin Youde pressed the button in front of him hard.

And so the countdown began.

When the countdown reached zero, the front of the experimental locomotive, which had only half the number of carriages, began to move upwards along the cable that led to the sky, slowly accelerating.

The eyes of the whole world were now focused on this rising carriage, and under the gaze of billions of people, he went higher and higher, and finally turned into a tiny black dot in the blue sky.

Everything waited, time passed minute by minute, and finally, from the balance hammer in space, the message of the safe arrival of the train came.

A flood of applause resounded throughout the ground base, and everyone was smiling and celebrating this great progress.

Lin Youde stood in place, looking up at the sky with his neck tilted, and did not move for a long time.

**

That night, Lim Youde and his family wandered on the beach in Singapore.

"Where's Alulu?" Lin Youde suddenly found that he was missing a daughter, so he asked.

"She left beforehand." The fox replied, "It seems that something is wrong with the counterintelligence operation." ”

"Hey, is it okay for her to handle it alone?"

"Don't worry, although it's not as good as when I was younger, Alulu is now a very good spy queen, and there will be no problem taking over me in the future."

"You've got your way in the end." Isabella had a serious face, "Turned my daughter into a spy queen." ”

"Ah, don't say that, Alulu has a talent in the first place, and we foxes are good at this." The fox patted Isabella the shoulder.

At this time, Xia Li sighed: "Don't be nervous, worry about me who doesn't have a daughter in the end." ”

As soon as Xia Li spoke, everyone laughed good-naturedly.

Then Lin Youde sighed and said, "Now I start to regret holding my daughters so tightly, and now I look at it, I can't hold my grandson." ”

"Hey, Dad, you said that!" Nia flew up and turned to Lin Youde, "You said you want a grandson!" Shall we give birth at once, believe it or not? ”

"Forget it." Ysera said, "The man who can break down below you hasn't been born yet." ”

"But sister, you can! No problem at all, hurry up, go to life! ”

"Don't don't," Lin Youde raised a hand, "I've changed my hexagram, I still have to think about it." ”

As soon as Lin Youde's words came out, the girls all laughed.

Lin Youde also laughed, and after laughing, he raised his head, looked at the stars in the sky, and suddenly said: "I want to know now, in this starry sky, there are any intelligent races like us, and what will our meeting with them look like." ”

"Dad," Sophie said, "if there were intelligent races that were more advanced than us, they should have come to us a long time ago, and if the intelligent races in the universe were weaker than us, they would probably turn into a massacre like the colonizers did against the Aztecs." Nothing to look forward to. ”

"Sophie, you're so unromantic." Lilith commented, "At this time, you should follow Daddy's words." ”

Lin Youde smiled, he looked at the sky, and whispered: "People are always greedy, I should have fulfilled my lifelong wish, but now, I am looking forward to seeing aliens with my own eyes in my lifetime." Maybe the aliens have an organization, something like the Parliament, and they've been waiting for us to join them. ”

At this time, everyone noticed that Oh-chan had overtaken the entire queue and came to the front.

She turned around and looked at Lin Youde.

The sea breeze blows through Oh-chan's hair, and her eyes are shining, as if echoing the starlight in the sky.

Oh Sauce raised his hand and pointed at Lin Youde, and his lips opened lightly-

- We've always been here.

- The Galactic Council exists.

Thus, a new page has been turned in the history of mankind.

—End of the book—
