On July 2, 2042 in the earth calendar, the sender Li Chenjing: [Lao Hua, today Lao Tzu is here to set up a dragon gate array for you again, and I will first tell you a major news, the group of old beauties on the Mars base are also ready to come to Jupiter. We have agreed that we need to twist together at a critical moment. There is no way, there are too few people left, counting the side of Mars, the total number of people is just over 15,000, like you said, there is not enough population base, we must be prepared for technological regression......]

On August 1, 2042 in the earth calendar, the sender He Xiaomin: [Mr. Hua, I have good news for you, the medical team said that my anterograde amnesia has been completely cured. I thought about it for a few days, but I decided to start hibernation next month. I am now eager to understand and appreciate the situation you are in, and I want to accompany you through your lonely interstellar journey in this way. And your time has hit the pause button, and I can't waste my time anymore...... However, Director Yang said that for health reasons, my dormancy period cannot be as long as yours, and it will be like waking up once in ten years, so the next time I will send you a message will be ten years later......]

.

.

.

Hua Kejing, who woke up for the first time, kept browsing and playing messages from the solar system and from the capital of the galaxy.

To be honest, for a moment, he even naively felt that if he had been accompanied by these messages from relatives and friends, the originally lonely interstellar journey would seem to have become less lonely.

Of course, reason told him that this was unrealistic.

Because as time goes by, there will eventually be some people who will leave one step earlier.

Because as the distance between the Forsaken and the Starship continues to increase, the reliability and possibility of communication will also be challenged.

Of course, there are other reasons, but Hua Kejing is unwilling and can't bear to think about it.

……

After replenishing some nutrient solution, and then enjoying a piece of meat luxuriously, Hua Kejing continued to browse the information from the Star River.

Because He Xiaomin has gone into hibernation, in the next ten years, except for occasional greetings from other old friends, for most of the time, only Lao Li maintains a monthly frequency to share the renovation project of the Galaxy City with him.

In this regard, Hua Kejing can also understand.

There really isn't a need for too many people to signal to themselves too intensively.

What's more, everyone knows that it will take more than 10,000 years for them to see these messages.

Through the message sent by Li Chenjing, Hua Kejing also fully understood the capital of the galaxy and every difficult step taken by all the surviving human beings when they fought in the Jupiter system.

On January 1, 2045 in the earth calendar, that is, four years after Hua Kejing left the solar system, the reconstruction and expansion project of the Galaxy Capital was basically completed.

Since then, a space city that has been planned since 2030 and built over 15 years and can barely accommodate 100,000 people has been completed.

On December 15, 2045 in the earth calendar, the commissioning of the closed ecological circulation system within the Galaxy City was preliminarily completed.

On the basis of this model, the space city can simulate the function of the closed biosphere to a certain extent.

However, because the earth has long since perished, there are very few species of microorganisms, plants, and animals to choose from (most of which are still the species that the galactic capital carried with it when it left the earth in the early days), and the entire ecological cycle system is too thin, so most of the scientists in the ecology team are still worried.

On October 1, 2046, the teams of all Callisto bases completed the collection of the necessary resources.

On November 11, 2046 in the Earth calendar, the Galaxy Capital energy team began to search for nuclear fusion energy in the top layer of Jupiter's atmosphere to ensure that Space City can survive the long period of consumption.

On December 31, 2047, the sixth year after Hua Kejing left the solar system, the Galactic Capital carried all the surviving humans out of the Jupiter system and accelerated to the star Tianyuan IV, 10 light-years away from the solar system, in search of a new home.

On November 15, 2052 in the Earth calendar, after five years of continuous acceleration, the Galaxy Capital reached the planned speed of 45 kilometers per second, which is 1.5/10,000th of the speed of light, thus opening the arduous road of 67,000 years of interstellar exile.

On January 1, 2053 in the earth calendar, that is, the twelfth year after Hua Kejing left the solar system, he received a message from He Xiaomin again.

[Mr. Hua, although you are still asleep, I can finally talk to you again. I just finished my first hibernation last month, and I woke up and lay in the rehabilitation center for 27 days, oh, I can't measure time in days anymore, and now the official word for the galaxy capital is Earth Day...... You must know that I have only been dormant for 10 years, and Mr. Hua is 10,000 years at a time, so that feeling must be very bad. By the way, Sister Lu told me that the Galaxy Capital has just passed a proposal, and soon after, all people between the ages of twenty and fifty will start to sleep, and then wake up alternately according to the ratio of 10%, and take charge of the basic operation and maintenance of the Space City during the awakening period......]

Hua Kejing knew about this proposal.

In fact, it was mentioned many times in the messages sent by Lao Li before.

The first reason for putting the spaceship's inhabitants into dormancy is to reduce resource consumption.

After all, this is a consumption that lasts for tens of thousands of years, and even if the galactic capital really scrapes a layer of skin on the Jupiter system, it will be stretched.

As for the second reason, it can be regarded as an extraordinary means to ensure the vitality of human beings.

It is conceivable that once the children born to the residents of Space City during the awakening period reach the age of 20, they will enter the [10%+90%] dormancy cycle model.

Although there are still people who gradually exceed the age of 50 and exit the dormant cycle in the dormant cycle, it is precisely because of the existence of the [10%+90%] dormancy cycle model that the rate of population aging has been virtually slowed down by nearly 9 times.

To put it simply, it is like the life of 20-50 years old has been extended 9 times in the timeline.

Of course, this proposal also involves a lot of difficult issues.

For example, the way of raising and educating minor children,

For example, the maintenance of the elderly population,

For example, the reconstruction of social models, etc......

At the same time, Hua Kejing also realized that Li Chenjing, Lu Jieshi, Mao Xianyu and others, who were almost sixty years old, would not enter a dormant cycle.

This means that they will be the first humans in the Galaxy City to leave due to aging.

And that's exactly what happened.

Lao Li was the first to pass away on April 1, 2078 in the earth calendar, at the age of 85.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jieshi also left in the last month of the same year because of grief at the age of 88.

When seeing the obituary of Lao Li and his wife, Hua Kejing's heart tightened together, and a lot of unspeakable sentimentality surged out.

Although people will grow old one day,

Though man is inherently mortal,

Although the old guys have long been mentally prepared to say goodbye to each other,

Although Lao Li and they actually left more than 9,900 years ago,

But at this moment of true faith, Hua Kejing still couldn't let go.

From his departure from the solar system in 2041 to the death of Lao Li and his wife in 2078, it was 37 years before and after.

But here in me it is just a time of dormancy, a dream.

At this moment, Hua Kejing even had the illusion of being in a different world.

……

After Lao Li died, the person who regularly sent messages to Hua Kejing was replaced by Mao Xianyu.

But Mao Xianyu also left after six years.

After Mao Xianyu passed away, Li Chenjing's son took over the baton and continued to make work reports for Hua Kejing for 22 years.

Time continued to pass forward, and when Xiao Li also died, all Hua Kejing could receive was the message sent by his wife He Xiaomin during each dormant adjustment period.

Hua Kejing didn't overunderstand this matter,

In fact, he was already prepared.

After all, it was a long time of more than 200,000 years.

Just like the name he gave to the spaceship,

Forsaken,

With a high probability, he will also become a forgotten person in the history of human civilization in exile.

In the obsession of Hua Kejing to fly to the core region of the galaxy with all his might,

or for the almost impossible task of salvation,

Or to grasp that little hope,

This wisp of obsession,

Although it is also for the survival of human civilization to earn hope for survival,

But more than that, it is for the injustice of the world that has long since died out and truly belongs to its own human civilization.

thereupon

In Hua Kejing's obsession,

He must throw the last stubbornness and unyielding of human civilization into the face of the super civilization [Miao].

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