2190, on the eve of the launch of the Pioneer program.

The greatest meeting in the history of mankind takes place in the most secure conference room in Area 11 (the secret base of the Akalot Empire), where ten human elites from various countries gather and wait for the commander to make a final declaration.

The door slowly opened, and a colonel walked in from the outside, he glanced at everyone in the group, and solemnly said while giving a military salute: "Dear pioneers, we have been waiting for this moment for four years, to be honest, I am reluctant to you, but for the sake of all mankind, you must support your responsibilities. ”

"Yes, we will!" Ten people replied loudly in unison.

"Now to the topic." The colonel smiled and asked them to sit down, while he himself sat down in a chair at the conference table.

"After 4 years of hard work, we have created an unprecedented miracle for mankind, please see the AR cloud display projection." As the colonel spoke, the control terminal turned on the projector behind him, and the AR cloud display began to analyze slowly.

"The Departure, the latest generation of B-class dreadnought-class starships, I think everyone knows about it, it was designed and built by our own hands in Area 11." The AR cloud display shows the full picture of the Departure, which is a starship equipped with a double zero crystal engine, and the whole is flat and rectangular, and everyone can't help but whisper in admiration.

The Colonel moved to another one, which showed a starship with two rings, which was very different from the Departure, equipped with a single Zero Element Crystal engine, and the rings were in the tail and middle of the starship.

The colonel turned his head to look at it and said, "The Yuanxing, which was designed and started construction at the beginning of the plan, is a Type A Great Wave-class starship. Mars is its home planet. ”

"And the last starship, the Lanston." The colonel said, moving on to the next one, and all eyes were on it. The black exterior is in contrast to the silvery-white color of the first two ships, and its full picture can only be revealed by the earth's background. Its bow is a huge laser cannon, and in the tail it has a zero-element crystal engine and a working fluid engine, and on the left and right sides of the hull, there are several fusion engines.

"The Lanston is a Type A sword-class battleship, and in order to facilitate combat, its hull has engines. Of course, the first two starships are also equipped with fusion engines. ”

"Excuse me, are there only these three starships?" The sudden question interrupted everyone's interest, and they turned to look at the man who was standing.

"Comrade Luo Ming, as you can see, there are indeed only these three starships." The colonel replied with a smile.

Luo Ming continued to ask, "How many crew members are there?" ”

"More than 2,900," the colonel's expression became serious, and then added: "If you don't count robots." ”

"Okay, I'm fine." Luo Ming sat down and said.

"Do you know why you were chosen as pioneers?" The Colonel turned off the AR cloud display and waited for their reply. It is normal to say that you can get a lot of money by participating in the pioneer program, but no one has answered that way.

The comrade sitting closest to the colonel stood up and replied, "Because it is an incomparably honorable honor to participate in the Pioneer Program, and my country and my family will be proud of me." ”

The Colonel was silent, not even looking at him, still waiting for a reply from the others.

"Because it takes an elite to be competent, and the people here are the best people in the past four years." A woman replied with her head held high.

The colonel smiled coldly, which made everyone start to rethink the question. A pioneer is literally nothing more than someone who initially discovers or helps develop something new, but ...... Luo Ming was worried.

"I'll answer later." The colonel stood up and asked, "Can any of you explain what quantum throwing is?" ”

Someone looked at each other and whispered the question. The Colonel observed everyone, and he already had an idea in his mind. Then when the discussion subsided, the people he was concerned about stood up.

"Quantum throw, quantum information similar to electromagnetic waves, discovered 4 years ago in the Akalot Empire, Atlantis and Qin Empire. At that time, through the cracking of quantum entanglement, people discovered the secret hidden inside, which was the greeting of the alien civilization designated to the solar system. Luo Ming finished the words in the colonel's heart word for word.

"Very good, Luo Ming." The colonel looked at her and asked, "Could you please give us a rough description of the alien civilization's greetings to mankind?" ”

Luo Ming took a deep breath, she suddenly felt that she was a tool person, these words could be said by the colonel himself, but she still obeyed the order: "Dear 1701 galaxy, on behalf of the civilization of this galaxy, I would like to extend my highest greetings to the intelligent life civilization in it." It has been a long time to prove that the universe is not empty, just as I can sense your existence, even if we can't see each other. However, I am willing to maintain the peace of the universe with you. ”

At this point, the colonel did not speak immediately, he looked at everyone with a kind of penetrating look. The identity of a pioneer is actually very simple in his mind, but he doesn't want to say it. Rather, the enthusiasm of these people is sad.

Finally, at the end of the meeting, the colonel asked them the question: "Do you know why you were chosen as pioneers?" ”

This time the tone was more subdued, with a hint of sadness. Several of the pioneers smiled, guessing that their ideas certainly did not meet the answers the colonel needed.

However, finally one person came up with half of the problem. Luo Ming tentatively replied to the colonel: "Because...... We are all experiments. ”

Everyone's eyes converged on her, and a strange atmosphere was condensed. So, did this sentence touch a reason that they couldn't even think of?

"You're not entirely right, but at least it's better than the other pioneers' answers." The colonel slowly stood up, then announced that the meeting was completely over, and walked away with his head bowed.

The Colonel knew the next sentence, but Luo Ming and the other pioneers didn't know, maybe they were the test subjects, the first people to leave the solar system.

That night, Luo Ming recorded everything about the Pioneer Project in a memory chip and hid it in a book. The next morning, the book will be delivered home with her luggage. Since then, Luo Ming has not communicated with his younger brother Rhodes.

When the story was over, Rhodes sat on the broken bricks next to the house, quietly thinking about what to say next.

"They're great, aren't they?" Bai Fengyi said.

"That's right, forever in space, with this damn universe."

"I guess Luo Ming doesn't regret it."

"Then why did she tell me about it? Although I also discovered it by accident. Rod choked up and covered his face with his hands to stop the water from falling.

Bai Fengyi was trying to comfort him, but at this time, the bracelet suddenly rang, and he could only check what the news was.

"Bai Fengyi, your identity has been discovered by them, He Chuan has already brought someone to look for you, please be sure to turn off the communication and leave there."

This is the message that Fang Chenxi just sent, and the current time is 8 o'clock in the morning.

He didn't know what to do, and Rhodes was also involved in this matter, after all, he was the one who brought himself back to the Century. But thinking about Fang Chenxi, she definitely can't escape the involvement.

"Rod, my identity was discovered by He Chuan." Bai Fengyi looked at him in horror, his mind blank.

"Hehe, I knew that with his ability, he could definitely find clues, not to mention the data that I tampered with in one night?" Rod wiped away his tears and stood up, sniffed and asked him again, "Now he will come to you in a spaceship, and it will only take ten minutes." So, do you want to run away? ”

This is a thought-provoking moment, Bai Fengyi has not even found his own meaning, and he may face the situation of being cut by a thousand knives and dissecting experiments.

Bai Fengyi smiled helplessly, "I follow their arrangement." ”
