"Captain, it's time." Just as he was thinking, Dr. Li Cheng from the secretary's office prompted.

"Understood."

Zhang Yuan saw that the space elevator was carrying the last batch of people to Kunlun Mountain, he exhaled lightly, and then walked in front of the reporter.

The parting words before departure can be said to be a custom, not only the eight million people in the Kunlun Mountains, but also the final farewell to the six million people who have survived from the surface base.

He said solemnly on television: "Ladies and gentlemen. ”

"If we are to become a truly great civilization, we must do everything in our power to play a greater role in the universe. And not like the country wildman, cowardly hiding on his own planet. Yes, this step, it's difficult, it's really difficult. The cowards, the lazy, the skeptical of the vagrancy, the deprived of the spirit of struggle and self-domination, the ignorant and insensitive who cannot feel the great encouragement of those who are steadfast......"

"All these people, of course, are afraid to see their civilization take on new responsibilities, to see us carry out a wandering plan that seems to be of no profit! Fear to see us take on more of the obligations that need to be taken on in the universe, fear to see our brave soldiers and the possible war of the stars"

“…… If we do not participate in this fierce competition, in which we must win with everything we have with our lives and civilizations, then civilizations that are more powerful than our barbarism will be far behind us, and they will be able to destroy us and control us with ease. Even like the Gliese civilization, they don't even know they're dead. ”

"Let us, therefore, face the challenges of the future with courage, determined to carry out our duties with manly manhood, and uphold justice with our oaths and deeds...... It is only through arduous and dangerous struggle that we can achieve the goal of our civilizational progress! ”

At this moment, everyone's expressions were serious, and some people's eyes were red, and their hearts were excited and enthusiastic.

Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed with a determined look: "...... We must not play the role of the Gliese civilization, nor the civilization of the earth, if we repeat their mistakes, complacent, greedy for the peaceful pleasures of our own territory, gradually hatching and degenerating, having no interest in the stories of the galaxy, indulging in drunkenness, forgetting the noble life of striving for progress, hard work and adventure, and busy all day long satisfying the temporary desires of our flesh......"

"Well, there is no doubt that one day we will become a mediocre civilization like them......"

"In the long river of time, we will be eliminated by the entire universe."

"These words are for us who are about to go to a distant land, and to those of you who remain here."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuan exhaled deeply: "Kunlun Mountain Fleet, let's go!" ”

A huge fleet, including a super mothership, 23 "Petrel-class" frigates, and 3 "Hawk-class" missile destroyers, officially set sail.

Bright ionic flames burst out from the starry sky, and this should be the last time that Kunlun Mountain will be in this starry sky.

Not a drill.

Eight million astronauts, looking at the familiar human base at their feet, wept, grieved, and cheered.

And just like that, I left......

……

In this way, the six-month effort passed in a blink of an eye, and the entire hibernation work arrangement was being carried out in an orderly manner.

Although the design of Kunlun Mountain is fully capable of supporting the normal life of tens of millions of people, in order to be able to operate for a long time and save resources, it still implements the work and rest system of "two years of normal life and eighteen years of dormancy".

In other words, the time that people can feel about 50 years of voyage is about five years, which is quite acceptable.

The number of sober people remained at 800,000 for a long time.

800,000 is also considered a population of a small and medium-sized city, and it is more than enough to maintain the normal operation of all walks of life, as well as the maintenance of the entire ship.

Here is a "Falcon-class" destroyer, about 5,000 kilometers from the front of the Kunlun Mountains.

The entire fleet took Kunlun Mountain as the core, and the ring team was deployed, and their spaceship flew at the forefront.

"Hey, in fact, after a long time, it will seem a little boring...... None of the meteorites were seen. "Several soldiers are looking at the data of the calibration queue in the observation room.

This kind of destroyer guarantees combat effectiveness, of course, there is no so-called annular living area, so it is not so comfortable to live, and a certain amount of exercise time must be guaranteed every day to reduce muscle atrophy.

"Boring what? It is normal not to see a meteorite, is there a 1 in 100 million probability of seeing a meteorite...... We are here to escort only to prevent small probability events. ”

"Interstellar voyage is like this, it is said that the first generation has sailed for 3,000 years!"

Speaking of this, all the soldiers are still quite admired, three thousand years, think about it is a desperate number, the average life expectancy of people is less than three thousand years. And now, a voyage is only fifty or sixty years.

The target of this voyage is "187J3x2", a blue dwarf star 5.2 light-years away, and theoretically there is no suitable environment for living things, but who knows......

People chose this planet because...... It is along this cosmic string, the nearest star.

Of course, this voyage is always meaningful, whether it is to study the blue dwarf up close, or as a long-distance voyage test, if you don't try the first time, how can there be a second or third time.

5.2 light years is an acceptable distance, and if there is really a civil mutiny or other small probability accidents, it can still struggle to return home.

Even if it's unlikely......

"In fact, living in the Kunlun Mountains is no different from the surface of the planet, I really want to eat the Yile ramen inside, and add a little beef sauce."

"That being said, it's a bit of a psychological gap...... How many resources does the planet have, and how many resources does our ship have? It's completely different. ”

At this time, the two suddenly heard a cough from behind them, and quickly stopped chatting.

It was Li Junkang, the captain of the Eagle Falcon 1.

Li Junkang glanced at the data on the screen, and the starry sky outside was always so dark, as if it had not changed forever. Over the years, he has been promoted from a soldier to the captain of this destroyer.

With great power comes great responsibility.

The whole voyage lasted six months, and there was always some boredom. Hearing the small talk between the two, he didn't blame too much, but said, "Okay guys, let's stop gossiping, I'm about to carry out the official mission." 20,000 kilometers ahead, is the position of the cosmic strings, right? ”

At present, the speed of the spacecraft is not fast, after all, it only relies on its own engine for propulsion, and the speed is about 32 kilometers per second.

"Report to the captain, theoretically, there are still 19089 km."

From the screen, that cosmic space was empty, and the so-called cosmic strings seemed to be hidden in another dimension......

After all, it is a one-dimensional spatial structure, and if it were not for the scientific instruments that scanned it back and forth many times, it would have been impossible for people to find it accurately.

"Have you observed the movement of meteorites in the surrounding area?"

"We have activated large flares and have not observed the presence of meteorites larger than 20 centimeters in diameter for the time being."

Li Junkang nodded and commanded: "Inform the other spaceships that we have arrived at the established area, calibrate the route, and return to Kunlun Mountain in turn." The gravitational acceleration will begin in 15 minutes. ”

"Order received!"

This series of notices quickly conveyed the entire queue, including the Kunlun Mountain mothership in the middle.

All the escort spaceships turned on their engines and re-mounted on the edge of Kunlun Mountain.

Gravitational acceleration, begin!
