On this night, the remaining five members of the founding team of the Salvation met again during the non-annual meeting.

Several people returned to Cai Weilu, put on the musical instruments of the year, and played "Never Walk Alone" once.

It's just that Zhong Lei's image and singing voice are generated by holographic projection.

In addition to Chen Feng, the other four people have all clearly shown their old age.

But Zhong Lei's image was perfectly reproduced by the hologram, just as it was back then, thrillingly beautiful.

In the hoarse performance, time seems to go back to that evening of that year, and the short-lived Salvation Band reappears in this way, many years later.

Ou Fat, who is already old enough to have gray hair, but still looks energetic, tears and tears, but he is even sadder than Chen Feng.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with emotion: "This time I worked hard to exercise and wanted to live longer." Although I still haven't been able to lose weight, my life has become longer. Why did Sister Kelei ...... Alas! ”

Ou Fatzi finally listened to Chen Feng's words, and since July 2020, he has started exercising for at least one hour a day.

It's a pity that he is wide and fat, and he can only occasionally lose a little weight due to overwork, but after a little rest, he immediately came back again.

But fortunately, his exercise is indeed effective, the fat is not less, the muscles are more, and the physical condition is much better, so he is still energetic.

Ou Fatzi knew that he had always been the first to hang in the salvation of the world, and this time he rarely broke his fate, but he didn't expect Zhong Lei, who was supposed to be the longest-lived, to die first.

Chen Feng patted him on the shoulder, and in turn comforted the fat man.

He smiled, "It's okay, her life may be over for you." But for me, it's probably just getting started. ”

The fat man was puzzled, "Huh? ”

Chen Feng didn't explain, just looked up at the sky.

He knows what kind of changes "The Sun in the Universe" will bring to human civilization in the future.

Zhong Lei will continue to live.

She will live in the memory of mankind in a very stable form, in a quantum network built by the stars.

In the past, the "ordinary songs" left by Zhong Lei could constitute a complete starry personality.

This time, Chen Feng completed the "stars" first.

Previously, "Stars" had been further absorbing and digesting all of Zhong Lei's works and a lot of information.

Now there is a song "The Sun in the Universe" that conforms to the grand unification theory.

Then, the traces left by Zhong Lei to mankind will always exist with human thoughts.

This period is not 10,000 years.

Even if "The Sun" disappears in the long river of time after 10,000 years, Zhong Lei's influence on mankind in these 10,000 years will last forever.

Zhong Lei's "death" is, in a sense, just a physical death.

Zhong Lei's thinking will accompany all her works, with "The Sun" as the skeleton, which has always existed in people's hearts.

After a lot of calculations, Fanxing gave Chen Feng an answer.

If human beings can really be eternal, then sooner or later, when human beings have evolved to a high enough level and their understanding of the universe has reached a sufficient depth, then "Zhong Lei" will come out of people's hearts again.

Chen Feng believes that if his True Quantum Immortality is also successful at that time, the two will eventually reunite.

That night, the five people who hadn't drunk for a long time were rarely drunk.

Early the next morning, as soon as Chen Feng, who was sleeping on the sofa, opened his eyes, he saw Ryan sitting opposite him, holding a huge drawing in his hand.

The pattern on the drawing looks like a whirlpool, and it looks like a tablecloth that has been grabbed in the middle and twisted out a few swirls.

In this day and age, only an old-fashioned person like Ryan would draw with pen and paper.

He usually uses a computer, and only when he is working on something particularly important and difficult, will he take out a pen and paper like an heirloom.

"What is this?"

Chen Feng stepped forward and asked.

Ryan glanced up at him, rubbing his somewhat dazed eyes, "I designed the rapid transit network for the solar system. ”

"Huh?"

Chen Feng went over the term in his heart, then picked up the drawing and looked at it carefully.

The center point of the vortex is marked with the sun in small letters.

It's a web that covers most of the solar system like a three-dimensional spider's web.

The net is divided into eight circles from the inside to the outside, and each circle is connected to each other by many arc-like pipes.

Ryan explained, "The eight-layer deformable loop will orbit around the sun. These connecting arc pipe networks are connected to the loop by movable snaps. The inside of the pipe network is an ultra-vacuum environment, and we can allow a train-like shuttle to enter the loop pipe network. ”

"Accelerated by continuous electromagnetic power, space trains can reach speeds of up to one-third of the speed of light. When switching between an arc and a loop network, you only need to slow down to a tenth of the speed of light. The transportation network becomes the blood vessels of the solar system, transporting large quantities of supplies from one place to another in a very short period of time. ”

"This can greatly improve the efficiency of resource allocation within the solar system, and further exert the role of infinite resources to infinity. Once we have completed the mass-energy conversion equation and the Dyson membrane, we can start implementation. ”

Chen Feng watched intently for a long time, and this kind of vascular-like network had not been adopted in the previous timeline.

He wasn't sure if that was the right path.

"It's not necessarily cost-effective when the technology isn't enough," he asks. After all, we only have a thousand years. ”

Ryan smiled. "Absolutely cost-effective."

Chen Feng: "How can you see it?" ”

Ryan: "You said the solar system is important to humans, right? ”

"Yes."

"In the ninth timeline, you said that humanity's main force should not give up the solar system easily. Although the people who go out create a lot of new value in the shadow galaxy, they still don't live up to the expectations you want. ”

Chen Feng nodded, "Yes." We won't give up on the solar system easily this time. ”

There was one thing he didn't say.

This time he had a new idea of the layout of the war in the thirty-first century.

Assuming that everything goes well in the plan, and the remaining human main force has more people immune to ZS bacteria with the help of Zhong Lei's additional works such as "The Sun in the Universe" and "The Last Millennium", and the human race has withstood this wave of biochemical extermination in the 26th century, then by 3020, the dome must still be in the sky above the solar system.

At that time, Chen Feng will let future generations take advantage of the disadvantages of the dome's fuzzy monitoring first, so that the external performance of the solar system civilization will stay at a similar level as in the eighth timeline, and only secretly accumulate technical strength.

Wait until about 3000 years, and then use the mature technology of planting warships, in just twenty years, crazy explosion to expand military strength, ambush the opponent.

Then, the compound eyes will inevitably be misled by the appearances observed in the dome, and the first wave of main battle forces will inevitably be prismatic ships, and there will be no strong reinforcements that arrived later in the previous timeline.

At the same time, the preferred target must still be the solar system.

According to Chen Feng's rehearsal, the following situations are likely to occur.

The prosperity within the solar system is so high that the compound eyes decisively see the solar system as the greatest threat.

If the prismatic fleet can break through the blockade laid by the Morrowind Empire in advance and reach the solar system.

The opponent will keep the dome blocked, and the million-edged ships will go into battle until the solar system is completely wiped out, and then they will be scattered to pursue the other humans in the galaxy.

But this time, Chen Feng will use the solar system to make them unable to eat and walk around.

At that time, the territory of the Morrowind Empire will be infinite.

But the main battlefield of the first phase of the war will only be the solar system.

There can only be two directions in the war.

First, the compound eyes found that the solar system was a hard stubble, and there was nothing they could do with the solar system on their shoulders. The compound eyer left the dome in the sky above the solar system, and the prism ships scattered, first went out to find the "soft persimmons" to destroy them one by one, and at the same time called for reinforcements. Save the hardest bone solar system for last.

Second, the solar system, in turn, used the dome blockade to bury all the million-edged ships in the solar system by using the desperate strategy of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 themselves. Then the enemy's reinforcements will arrive in about 3520 years at the earliest.

The humans of the solar system will use their own heavy damage to win a possible period of stable development for the entire Morrowind Empire.

This maximizes the benefits.

As for the second phase of the war, there are two possibilities.

Suppose the first scenario arises, and the solar system is left to the end as hard stubble.

Chen Feng will find a way to use the Great Unification formula to create a way for a small number of human forces to lurk out of the dome and go outside to lead the war between the Morrowind Empire and the Compound Eyes, starting the second phase of the war.

In the second scenario, even if it would seem selfish, he must lead the leadership team in the solar system to survive and continue to guide the next five hundred years of steady development, rapidly expanding his power in anticipation of the arrival of another phase II war.

If all goes well, humanity can wipe out the Compound Eyes and counterattack the enemy's lair to destroy them completely, or directly usher in the third phase of the war and face the real super-level civilization behind the Compound Eyes.

But in either case, Ryan's proposal seems to make a lot of sense.

First of all, Ryan's idea didn't use too much super-level technology, so it wouldn't cause too much vigilance among the enemy.

The human beings in the eighth timeline can complete it, but at that time, it was blocked by the dome, and the human beings could not get out, and the development and squeezing of the sun was not strong enough, and the energy grabbing could only rely on the natural combustion of the sun.

With the material production capacity at that time, only ships and aircraft and other means of transportation were needed to complete the transportation work, so I didn't do it.

But this time, Chen Feng will leave the rapid development technology of Stellar and build the ultimate stage of Dyson membrane, when the material production capacity will completely overwhelm the transportation capacity of the ship's vehicles.

The construction of Ryan's vascular-like network of space rails is just the right solution to productivity needs.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng was a little surprised, "Tell me how you came up with this?" ”

Ryan said, "I'm studying the space-time topology you taught me. ”

"Hmm."

"Although I don't have the conditions to experiment right now, you've told me the answer. Mass-energy conversion is achievable, right? ”

"Yes."

"And then you also depicted to me the Dyson membrane, which depicts a means of steadily increasing the rate at which the sun burns. So, I speculate that when the dome arrives, we will have to rely on the resources of the inner solar system. We may even be able to completely burn out the sun's life in a thousand years, waving goodbye to the homeland that gave birth to us. Then, if we want to maximize the efficiency of our resource utilization, we must build a network of space vessels. ”

Ryan said loudly.

Chen Feng was silent for a long time.

It has to be said that he was shocked by Ryan's sudden burst of amazing analytical ability.

Ryan already has a similar long-term vision to him.

Moreover, his method of analyzing the development of civilization from a scientific perspective is more accurate and creative than Chen Feng himself.

Ryan's spatiotemporal topology has entered the room.

Chen Feng originally thought that it would take at least another twenty years for Ryan to reach such a state.

Ryan gave him a big surprise.

Chen Feng habitually stretched out his hand and patted Ryan's shoulder, "Well done." ”

Obviously, Ryan's appearance was much older than Chen Feng's at this time, but he rarely showed a shy smile, "Thank you for the compliment." Actually, I only came up with it last night. Zhong Lei did this for you, and even gave up decades of life. I am also your comrade-in-arms, your compatriot. I think I can and must do it. ”

"Space-time topology is amazing, but I'm older than you, and I don't have as long a lifespan as you. So, I'm sorry, I'm going to disobey your orders this time too. You'll have to raise an heir again. Ou Junlang's son, Ou Tianwen is a good choice. As far as I know, he's almost 30% arousal, right? ”

Chen Feng: "Yes. ”

"That's just right. I can move forward with confidence. Since my talent is scientific research, it is innovation. If I want to have no regrets in my life, then I have to give the best of my strength in what I do best. You've criticized me for being a low-end project manager. I have been taking your criticism to heart for decades. In the field of science, like Zhong Lei, I will leave something that will last for thousands of years. ”

After speaking, Ryan began to carefully introduce the core of the solar system's rapid transportation network to Chen Feng.

Ryan completed two preliminary designs.

One is the construction of this first generation of transportation network.

When the first generation of Dyson membranes is completed around 2200 and the mass-energy conversion technology becomes a reality, a large number of ordinary people will become engineers.

In this step, a strong rope is used to build a framework for the vascular network, which requires a large number of manual operations by a large number of workers.

Later, Fanxing, who has supernumerical quantum intelligence, will take over most of the rest of the work, controlling a large engineering robot with a mass-energy transformation function to walk along the ropeway and repair all the way.

Large-scale construction robots that can produce materials and complete construction on a continuous basis require only a small number of human operators.

According to Ryan's plan, as long as there are enough engineering robots, the first generation of vascular networks will be completed by 2,300 years at the latest.

Ryan's second design is the long-term direction of the vascular network.

The first generation of the solar system's vascular network relied on ultra-vacuum and electromagnetic propulsion to transport materials at up to one-third of the speed of light.

The orbital trunk of the second-generation vascular network will be built in the curvature subspace below the gravitational lines, which can reach up to 20 times the speed of light, and the coverage of the vascular network will be magnified to tens of light-years, or even hundreds of light-years, and can be spread to the entire Orion arm.

The third-generation vascular network is based on similar stargate technology, and the triple space can be used to achieve ultra-fast material transmission similar to stargate transmission, and can even be spread throughout the galaxy.

As for the fourth generation, that is, the ultimate goal of Ryan's theory. It is based on the theory of great unification that human beings have established their own cosmic-level fast tracks, which are completely different from curvature and fold space. The ultimate velocity of the third curvature space, which is 25,000 times the speed of light, is just the basics.
