The human starship Pacific.

The vast starry sky is boundless!

A faint blue light passed from the side of the ship, fleeting.

This is a research ship that is approaching its destination planet.

Zhuge Yun was the first person to wake up from the hibernation warehouse, his body was a little weak, and his pituitary gland couldn't balance.

This is a reaction to the lack of water in which the nerve conduction system has just resumed its work after the body has stopped moving for a long time.

On Earth, he is the youngest linguist at the Center for Celestial Studies in the Earth Federation.

The so-called "youngest" is only because this discipline is almost extinct!

……

For many years, "linguistics" was largely unstudied.

With smart programs and storage technology that can hold an entire library's materials, who wants to hold a bunch of these things – specialize in research?

Linguists – In this era, the focus of research is on species linguistics.

It includes not only the study of the languages that were once used, but also the study of sound writing, hieroglyphics, and even the informatics of prehistoric civilizations, and gradually forms a new linguistic communication—a broader lingua franca based on multilingualism.

At this time, the earth has already entered the era of planetary migration.

One has already been built, and three are still under construction – built in the depths of space between Jupiter and Mercury in the solar system, millions of astronomical units.

All kinds of materials, minerals, biological circulatory systems, embryos, seeds, ...... on the earth There are also people who are constantly transported to it.

The Common Era has disappeared, and since the millennium it has been re-recorded, the ephemeris – to commemorate the successful human journey into space.

Over the centuries, after several small wars between major powers in history, the world has gradually become more global.

Humanity is moving towards the leadership of a transitional government, the Earth Federation, and in the near future, a joint body of the solar system will be born, which will replace this transitional government.

A new era is about to begin, and nothing can stop humanity from moving forward.

As we approach a new era of cosmic migration, who cares about what government or institution dominates the reign of Earth?

Because of the need for space migrants, the regions are divided by administrative territory. The borders, the primitive forms that existed only on the map, will disappear, and it will be lost to the long river of human history.

There are more than 30 "Celestial Research Centers" on this blue planet and affiliated to the "Planetary Council", and more are being added one after another.

These research centers are very old in existence. In addition to the research institutes of scholars, there is even a training base for space weapons.

It's like a college town in the Common Era, only bigger.

The Centre for the Study of New African Astronomical Bodies is one of them.

It is one of many celestial research centres set up on the home planet Earth, located in the new oasis of the Sahara.

Here, the best knowledge of human beings is studied and taught.

The predecessor of the Astronomical Research Center was a large-scale global aerospace agency jointly led by NASA, the European Space Center, the Chinese Academy of Space and other institutions in the Common Era.

The Centre shares research results in cosmology, the evolution of stars and galaxies, and the phenomenon of high-energy celestial bodies.

After a long history, it was finally led by the Globally Unified Planetary Joint Research Society, or CIAA for short.

Zhuge Yun is now a young and promising researcher at the New African Astronomical Research Center.

……

Starship "Pacific".

"Toot! Honk! "Tone.

"The test has been completed, and the air chamber is about to open!"

……

Zhuge Yun, after gradually recovering from his discomfort, stood alone by the porthole, the darkest side of the spaceship.

He was distracted by the window, thinking of the night before he left.

It was a normal night, the air was drizzling, the streets were shining,

Like the neon lights of a bygone era, twinkling in the night sky.

It is a moderately bustling metropolis, not far from the space base in the Sahara Oasis.

Zhuge Yun is a person who doesn't like to talk much, and the classmates in the academy basically have nothing to do with him, but other people don't have any special opinions about him.

He maintained a characteristic silence, calm, elusive.

When it comes to communicating, he is not very outstanding, and he is no different from ordinary people. To say that he is withdrawn, that is not true, for most people, who does not know a few people who are a little withdrawn.

When someone talks to him, he still answers politely, but he won't take the initiative to talk to people, he is just an ordinary person.

In addition, he is still very sensitive to certain things: such as his origins.

Someone once deliberately tricked him into asking about his origin and beliefs, etc., and sometimes his face slowly turned pale, and even his breathing became short, and the people he talked to noticed his abnormality would walk away in a sense of humor.

But when it was learned that he had been selected as a scientist on board the Pacific, everyone was taken aback.

This is a global selection! As early as half a year ago, the recruitment information for "the dream of a new human exploration ship set sail" was released, and perhaps the general public was not so excited about such a thing, but in all earth research institutions, this recruitment information caused an uproar.

The people who can be selected are like the first humans to land on the moon that year, and they are all in the spotlight and shining.

Not only is it an honor, but the human beings who can be selected are all standing at the starting point of the new human race, and they are synonymous with excellence in all aspects, and they also represent the top minds and top learning on the earth.

In the morning, Zhuge Yun was notified to go to the dean's office, and he already knew the result.

The entire research center soon learned the news: Zhuge Yun was selected as the ship's fellow investigator of the 'Pacific Starship'. At the 'New Oasis Academy of the Sahara), a list of more than 2,000 candidates was submitted, and he was the only one selected. Research institutions around the world submitted nearly 100,000 candidates.

Astound!

Shocking!

Sighs, chagrin, bewilderment, delirium, and incomparable shock!

"Oh my God, how could such a highest-level research ship choose him?"

"One in 10,000 elimination! Is there something wrong? How did you choose him? ”

"I signed up three months ago! I met all the requirements! Why did I lose the election? ”

"Could it be that he is a genius! Does he have special talents that we don't know about? ”

"What kind of luck is this!"

"I adore him so much, how did he do it!"

"O God! I knew he was no ordinary person! Speaking of which, I even said hello to him! He may remember me......"

A woman suddenly screamed with excitement, "Behold, here he is!" ”

Everyone ran this way.

Soon, he was surrounded by almost the entire research institute, and those who did not come over also stretched their necks and padd their feet to look this way.

The dean followed him, helping him hold a small card in his hand - the letter of acceptance.

There was also an envelope, a thick official document, written on the same kind of paper as the Common Era, which was meant to show solemnity and tradition, with information about the selected person written on it, which was an envelope with a fire lacquer seal.

"Wow" the crowd is in a commotion!

A limousine with the words "Security of the Space Administration of the United Earth Government" drove into the research institute and slowly passed through the crowd with its horn blared.

Two people jumped out of the car and walked straight to Zhuge Yun and the dean. One of them was a member of the fleet of the "Planetary Council", and the other was an officer in charge of reception. After they approached, the soldier stopped and saluted Zhuge Yun and the dean with a standard military salute!

At this moment, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at him.

"Bang, bang、...... ......"I don't know who took the lead in applauding in the crowd, and in an instant, a spontaneous and warm applause echoed over the entire research institute! The frightened flock of birds flew up.

"Wow-"

The crowd boiled, as if the whole earth trembled with excitement, and at the same time erupted in cheers and shouts......
