Zhang Yuan's heart was empty, as if something precious had been lost.

He was reluctant to rummage through the database.

Inside the ship, on a simple public forum, there was also a lot of commentary on current events.

【…… It's a shame that the Deep Space Foundation has fallen like this, and in our time, it was a real behemoth...... There really is no such thing as eternity in the world. 】

[Is even the government unwilling to support the foundation?] Refuse to allocate hundreds of millions of dollars every year? 】

[A few hundred million is probably not enough, the foundation needs to investigate all aspects of the entire society, and needs a lot of financial support...... Don't you realize that a long time ago, the Foundation's financial situation was not very good, and it was just supported by the old capital. 】

[On the contrary, I think that it is natural that the government does not support it, and after a thousand years, who will remember us. In the eyes of ordinary people, allocating such funds is just a meaningless thing......]

[Isn't there a local tyrant willing to support it? ] 】

[Local tyrant? Where did the local tyrants come from? 】

[We have lost contact with the Earth forever? 】

[I have to say, that's it.] 】

All in all, all kinds of complaints have lasted for hundreds of years.

Since everyone is awake for a different period of time, it doesn't seem to be uncommon for a topic to be discussed for hundreds of years.

Zhang Yuan felt that this kind of ancient text exchange forum was still quite warm, and because of the real-name system, everyone was generally more sensible, and the comments looked quite nutritious. There are no trolls or sunspots.

He also wrote on it: "Although it seems that we have no way to witness the next step of history, according to the historiography of the new civilization, further predictions can be made......]

[The future of mankind is nothing more than two greatest possibilities, the first is the "brain in the jar", developing inward, seeking the most core spiritual sustenance......]

[The second is the "sea of stars", developing externally and seeking a broader living space. 】

[For now, the probability of the first option may be higher...... After there is no way to continue to develop, people will begin to seek the most central sustenance. This sustenance does not have to be a religion, but it can also be something else, such as the entertainment industry, or some conventional culture, which forms a kind of ultimate steady. 】

[If you get comfort and happiness from certain things, you will not feel at a loss in life. If everyone were like that, the world would be finally stable. 】

After writing this long list, I clicked the "Publish" button, and the depression in my heart seemed to be much less.

Suddenly, Zhang Yuan browsed another line of red information.

[Everyone come and see, new news of the earth's civilization has appeared!] 】

[However, it's not the Deep Space Foundation, it's an email from a child!] I was so lucky to be the first to witness this line of information today! 】

Fifty years ago, the Earth Age spacecraft accidentally received a letter from the Earth civilization.

"Hello Earth Times, friends of the Golden Sun! My name is Aydin, I live on Earth and I am 14 years old. ”

"Today, when I was studying the history of civilization, I suddenly discovered the 'New Civilization Historiography' that was once very popular, as well as the ...... of the Deep Space Foundation."

"It's such an imaginative discipline that people want to try to guide civilization through mathematics! I don't know, with a large number of historical samples, how did you develop this discipline? ”

"I even found out that the earth civilization once launched two deep space colonization ships, ah, the ambitious deep space colonization plan, what a great initiative! It's a pity that I wasn't born in that magnificent era. ”

"But why is there no way for our current civilization to colonize foreign countries?"

"Is there a regression in our technology, or are we not rich enough?"

"Faced with this question, my father was silent for a long time, and in the end he said that he didn't know."

"Maybe I'll know when I'm older. Maybe I need to find the answer in the real society......"

"By the way, my father is the chairman of the famous Calva Industrial Group, the 16th most valuable in the world, and is a ...... Ha, well-known entrepreneur! You can think of me as a rich second generation, which should be a derogatory term, right? But in our time, it's a compliment. ”

"It's been two hundred years since we were disconnected, and you must be wondering what has become of Earth's civilization, right? Oh, for those of you who are hibernating, it's just a moment...... Actually, we have a lot of hibernators here, like my grandfather, who wanted to live to a more technologically advanced future, but I don't think it makes much sense. ”

"Here's some of the information I've gathered. I overdrew my pocket money for two years and sent you less than 10MB of files. I'm sorry, it's too far away, it's too expensive to send these messages, and the packet loss rate is high, and I really don't have the money to provide more content...... Maybe I'll have to find a way to make some money instead of thinking about playing games every day? ”

The 10MB of information is very small, and it is basically text, including government work reports, current political news, and some scientific journals.

Zhang Yuan's heart warmed slightly, and he was subtly moved.

This kind of emotion comes from the distant earth.

No matter what era, there are people who yearn for "poetry and distance".

A child born into the upper class even remembered their two ships and spent a lot of money to bring them valuable information.

Zhang Yuan carefully read the message sent by Aidin, first of all, of course, in terms of technology.

He pinched his nose and looked at these academic journals, which were terrible, really bad, and the parts he could understand anyway were no different from cheating on funds. It's just a noun that has been replaced, deceiving those laymen who don't understand.

The parts he couldn't understand...... Looking at the comments of the spaceship peers, there was a lot of scolding, it should still be very bad.

In other words, the most cutting-edge theories, whether in physical chemistry or biology, have basically stagnated.

Zhang Yuan sighed, this kind of thing is expected......

This is followed by some changes in society, which are more important reference materials for them.

The Cold War is over, and peace has returned to the world, but the fundamental contradiction in civilization - the huge gap between the rich and the poor - remains.

This is a difficult problem to solve, and there have been many civil movements and demonstrations of all kinds, and civilization has never been able to restore the peace it used to have.

In order to solve this fundamental contradiction, human society has adopted many complex solutions, in addition to using the entertainment industry to castrate the people's spirit, but also adopting a series of measures to benefit the people, such as workers' guilds, raising taxes on high-income earners, etc., in order to reduce the exploitation of ordinary people by capitalists.

In the following period of time, this young student Aydin actually took the place of the Deep Space Foundation and sent letters again and again!

And even until now!

Although the amount of data is not large each time, it is far better than disconnecting.

In a recent letter, Professor Edin, now a sociologist, wrote: "Earth Age, friends of the Golden Sun, I think I have found the real answer. ”

"Our time is no longer your time."
