The end of one era often means the beginning of another. The only constant is that the era always belongs to vigorous young people.

In the year 4933, Zhang Yuan opened his eyes from the dream again and began his ninth waking period.

"Wake up, it's time!"

The white light, the small room full of security, the same girl. It's still a cold little year, and in this era, with a familiar and reliable partner, the sense of security is still very sufficient.

Recalling that there was no Lin Xuanxuan in the last year, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but say softly: "Come here...... Hug it. ”

"Huh?" Suddenly, hearing this, I don't know why, Lin Xuanxuan felt a sour heart, and her eyes were a little moist.

The first sentence of this idiot before was always "What happened in the spaceship......

“…… Not here, there are others. ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuan really asked the same sentence: "Oh...... So, what's going on inside the ship? ”

"I knew you would ask!" Lin Xuanxuan rubbed her eyes and said with a smile: "Everything is normal, don't worry." ”

"There have been a few minor incidents, but overall it's within the tolerance for error. Guess what, in the past few hundred years, have we encountered aliens again? ”

"Aliens, there shouldn't be any."

Maybe because of the schedule, this girl always woke up half a month earlier than him.

"Has Senior Brother Zhao been promoted to captain?" Zhang Yuan asked again.

"Yes, you are already the captain's junior brother, and you have been promoted, congratulations."

Zhang Yuan seemed to have thought of something, he was not in a very good mood, ignored her jokes, and sighed to himself, "Lend me the phone...... I'd like to check something up. ”

"Don't play for too long." Lin Xuanxuan seemed to know the reason why Zhang Yuan was not very happy, and handed him the phone.

The original "Warwick 888" mobile phone brought to the earth has long been broken, and it has been replaced by a simple black and white screen elderly machine, and of course there is no need to play games and other things.

Most of the electronic products brought from the earth have been damaged for so many years, and even the various military chips in the spacecraft are a little unbearable, and they have been replaced several times.

Zhang Yuan clicked on his personal mailbox and found that it was full of mail, including a large number of government work reports, as well as various captain's logs, which described in detail what accidents occurred in which era.

Immediately afterwards, in these emails, Zhang Yuan found obituaries about Academician Ding and other leaders of the previous generation.

Before his death, Academician Ding did not give anything more.

And this series of obituaries gave him a faint sense of melancholy. Perhaps, this kind of parting has been experienced a lot, and it is not so difficult to accept......

……

In the following time, after being discharged from the hospital, Zhang Yuan was obviously busier than before. He is already a level 19 job, and as one of the top leaders of the spaceship's power, he needs to coordinate and arrange the current sober personnel to maintain the spacecraft again and again.

After all, the Earth Age is already a 2,700-year-old spaceship. 2,700 years, not 100 years, and the passage of time magnifies the chances of all kinds of mistakes. They can no longer brag and fart at work, and it doesn't matter if they are lazy to watch the news or play games.

The closer you get to your destination, the more you can't take it lightly. If something really happened because of his own negligence, Zhang Yuan would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

……

On this day, Zhang Yuanzheng led several correspondents to conduct routine inspections at the observatory.

It's already routine.

From time to time, the various communication devices in the observatory can receive electromagnetic signals from all over the universe.

The vast majority of these electromagnetic signals are garbled by stars and neutron stars. But it is also very unlikely that it is a signal emitted by an earth civilization or an extraterrestrial civilization.

Of course, because the probability is so low that it is negligible, several people are also in a relaxed mood, just as a routine check.

"The next time you wake up, you're going to reach your new home planet!"

"yes, I'm looking forward to it, 3,000 years have passed like this...... I really wanted to write about this journey. ”

"How about crowdfunding to write it?"

Listening to the discussion of his companions, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but chatter: "After so many years, I don't know how the earth civilization has developed?" Is there a trough out of mediocrity......"

Another person also answered: "Captain Zhang, it's difficult." Once a trough is created, it is unlikely to break free. We are already 18 light-years away from the solar system, and even if someone wants to communicate with us on a whim, they may not be able to find our exact location. If only someone could emit a signal like Professor Edin. ”

"Hey, I don't know how much it costs to emit high-power electromagnetic waves. Now at this distance, being able to transmit a few bytes is quite remarkable. ”

If you look at the solar system from this vantage point, you will see that the sun has become a faint star. Planets such as Earth, Mercury, and Venus are no longer directly observable. These planets can only be observed indirectly through an astronomical phenomenon called "ling", or the photochromographic method. 【1】

At a distance of 18 light years, even a huge sphere like the Earth is already inaccessible, and if there is no accurate location, it is impossible for the Earth civilization to find the specific location of the spaceship. If a series of electromagnetic waves are emitted indiscriminately, it is impossible for the spacecraft to receive them successfully.

"Huh!"

A colleague suddenly said: "This section of electromagnetic waves seems to have a bit of a logical relationship, but there are too many errors, and it may be an accident." ”

"You write it down first. Any bit of news from Earth is good. Even if the analysis does not produce results, there is no loss, not ......"

Zhang Yuan turned his head to look at another correspondent: "Did you find any hardware problems?" ”

"Not for the time being, it's just that the computing speed of this computer is getting slower and slower."

"If you can repair it, try to repair it, and if you can't fix it, you can only replace the parts...... How many ...... of parts do we have left"

Before the words fell, suddenly, Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment.

He raised his head, his eyes narrowed, and he was still stunned for a long time.

The pupils constricted slightly, as if they couldn't believe it!

In his view, a large expanse of light lit up from the glass cover overhead...... In the dim starry sky of the universe, a huge sun appeared!

Could it be- something exploded?!

The other two correspondents also stared blankly at the large glass cover at the observatory, and did not react for a while.

The light continued, becoming more and more intense, illuminating the originally gloomy observatory as if it were day, and even giving people the feeling of summer sun.

Zhang Yuan's heart began to beat wildly, and cold sweat couldn't help but come out of his back.

Syllable!

One screen suddenly went off, and several others began to shake wildly.

Zhang Yuan pressed a few buttons in front of the computer in a row, and then analyzed the source of this bright light.

A ......

Supernova!

More than 7,000 light-years away, the already unstable Seamount 2, also known as the η star of the Ship Base, exploded!

At this moment, the brightness of this supernova surpasses the sum of the hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way, becoming the dazzling extreme in the universe!
