More than 400 years ago, the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei aimed a telescope at the stars in the sky for the first time in human history.

Since then, ancient astronomy has been propelled into a whole new era.

But the pace of time never stops,

The sky of history is as vast as a sea of smoke,

Each individual is but a tiny speck of smoke in it.

In the long river of time, something is destined to gradually move away from us.

……

The first day of the month, a day of national celebration, is also an important day.

Just as the sun was about to rise as usual, a faint meteor streaked across the sky.

It was the first space station in China - Tiangong, and the world's first private space station - Tianque.

They have been flying in space for years.

According to the design life, it should reach the retirement age.

Therefore, just as the Cassini interstellar probe finally chose to crash into Saturn, they chose today's important day to fall into the atmosphere together, retire with honor, and pounce into the arms of the earth, leaving the last light in the sky of history.

……

At an observatory, Hua Kejing is staring at images collected through a telescope.

He still clearly remembers that 2023 is also the year when Muyu Aerospace shows its presence on the world aerospace stage.

From the construction of the North Underworld Aerospace Equipment Super Factory to the more than 30 air and space transportation missions in Chinese New Year's Eve.

Hua Kejing led Mu Yu Aerospace to send the space station Tianque into space step by step.

At this moment, although Tianque has fallen into the atmosphere and turned into dust, its glory has been deeply engraved in the history of human spaceflight.

The picture of the telescope was over, and Hua Kejing quickly collected his emotional feelings, because there were more important tasks waiting for him to promote.

Galaxy Capital,

It was the first space city in human history.

At the same time, it is a classic case of Chinese national cooperation.

It will also be a magnificent aerospace epic masterpiece.

According to the plan, the Galaxy City will be fully completed on the 1st of the month and dedicated to the motherland.

That is, from today, there is only one year left before the time node set by artificial intelligence.

Up to now, the construction progress of the Galaxy City is 81%,

Among them, the Huaxia Aerospace National Team has completed a total of 586 space launch missions for it in the past four years, and Muyu Aerospace Technology has done its best to complete 1097 space launch missions for it.

The unit parts of the space city are sent to the space workstation in outer space of the earth at a frequency of frequency nearly once a day, like cargo on an assembly line.

At present, a total of 210,000 engineering experts and technicians, including 1,231 engineers working in Earth orbit, are involved in the construction of related projects.

And the total amount of work, in the eyes of astronauts more than ten years ago, is simply unimaginable and difficult to complete.

This is the application of controlled nuclear fusion technology, the explosion of science and technology, and the upheaval brought about by the new space age.

If you can focus on the perimeter of the galaxy capital in space orbit, you can see the scene of the carrier spacecraft dragging the parts of a space city and transporting them to the corresponding location for deep welding and assembly.

The team of engineers is also full of energy, whether it is in the space workstation or in the capsule of the galaxy, you can see the dancing sparks in many places.

Thanks to the research results of the three advanced engineering departments in the 8-level [Engineering Research Institute], the entire design scheme of Galaxy City can be regarded as an artistic pinnacle based on current science and technology.

It was a small man-made celestial body with a total design mass of nearly 500,000 tons (at that time, the rocket capacity was 100-200 tons).

It is a space city capable of holding 5,000 to 10,000 people, which is already the size of a small town in most Western countries.

Imagine that if a building is about 200 square meters per floor and 10 stories high, its weight is estimated to be in the 1,000-ton range.

Then, the total mass of the first phase of the Galaxy City project is equivalent to 500 such buildings.

And because of microgravity in space, the number of people that can be carried by the same strength and structural building materials will increase exponentially.

In addition, the space orbit of the Galaxy Capital has also been dynamically adjusted under the guidance of the economic consumption optimization plan.

According to the simulation results of the dynamic mathematical model, in the early stage of construction, the orbit of the space city with only part of the structure will be relatively low, with the aim of reducing the launch cost.

At a certain point in the middle of construction, in order to avoid the influence of the Loch limit, the unfinished Galaxy City gradually flew to a higher orbit under the impetus of the already formed power structure.

It's definitely a very delicate and complex process.

……

That night, in the exclusive virtual space, Huake Mirror ushered in a historic moment.

Level 9 [Science Research Institute], or Level 9 [Engineering Research Institute] is about to be born.

According to the setting of alien artificial intelligence, whether it is the [Scientific Research Institute] or the [Engineering Research Institute], the technical points consumed for each level are twice as high as the previous level.

This means that just to move up to the last level, you have to put in all the previous effort.

Level 9 [Research Institute], with a total consumption of 51,100 technical points, and 6 senior engineering departments.

It's definitely an incredibly long process.

From the first day of contact with alien artificial intelligence to the present, sixteen years have passed.

In fact, as early as 2030, he already had two Level 8 [Research Institutes].

But in order to have the first level 9 [Research Institute], in order to gather enough technical points, Hua Kejing worked hard for another four years.

It is conceivable that it will be nearly 2040 years until both the [Academy of Science] and the [Academy of Engineering] are upgraded to level 9.

According to Xiaole, it was only when the two [Research Institutes] were promoted to level 9 that he initially had the ability to go to the core of the galaxy.

Moreover, according to Hua Kejing's understanding of Xiaole, what she said was just to express that she had just stepped into the threshold and had a glimmer of hope.

However, by 2040, I will be 45 years old!!

What is the concept of 45 years old?

Is it middle-aged or old?

Although Hua Kejing has never given up the good habit of iron and running for many years,

Although Hua Kejing still has the absolute top physical fitness in the normal human level,

But no one can stand the ravages of time, and people will eventually grow old one day, and this matter will not be accepted.

At the age of 35, through his own efforts and the help of drugs developed by his own life science laboratory, his [Basic Ability Table] has reached its peak.

Intellect:;

Strength:;

Physique:;

Keen:;

Tenacity:;

The reason is that, according to Xiaole, this is the limit of human beings, and there is no need to judge, and it is very difficult to continue to improve.

And the peak didn't last long and began to show signs of a slow decline.

For this reason, Hua Kejing also had anxiety for a long time.

This is understandable, after all, no one wants to go downhill in life and health!

But the laws of nature cannot be disobeyed, even if the dosage of drugs is increased.

……

"Can we start?"

Just when Hua Kejing was full of emotion and his mind was full of imagination, Xiaole's quiet voice sounded, reminding him to make a choice as soon as possible.

"Yes, that's fine." Hua Kejing retracted his emotions and told Xiaole, "At this stage, I want to give priority to upgrading to level 9 [Engineering Research Institute]. ”

"Okay."

As soon as Xiaole's voice fell, the direction of the [Engineering Research Institute] suddenly turned into a thousand rays of light.

Soon, an unprecedented scene was presented in front of Hua Kejing.

……

I salute every friend who has been with me all the way, thank you for your support!
