Time will slowly fade the memory, and the past will be like the wind, whistling past everyone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Time will not stop, and between people's thoughts, a lot has passed carelessly.

It has been said that time does not allow us to dwell on the past. Like all magnificent events, the departure of the Second Space City Group has gradually faded away in the hearts of those who remain on Earth.

It's just that when people look up at the starry sky, they often think of those relatives and friends who were once far away from them, and then they will also be sad, and then they will continue their lives and look at their own scenery......

In May 2112, 133 years had passed since the first year of the crisis, 1969.

Trunik fulfilled his promise and led the [former Interstellar Exploration Alliance] to complete the construction of the Third Space City Group within 8 years.

The Third Space City Group includes a total of 370 space cities, a population of about 110 million, 35 deep space resource development fleets, and 1,400 frigates. So far, the interstellar migration camp has a total of 1,071 space cities, about 350 million people, 104 deep space resource development fleets, and nearly 4,000 frigates.

At the same time, the construction progress of geocentric cities has also broken through the upper limit of the target, with a total of 2,600 [geocentric cities] built (the original construction target of 2,000), and a total of 2.7 billion people have lived in underground cities, exceeding the original target by 25%.

There is a problem with the upper limit of the capacity of underground cities, so the construction of [geocentric cities] is actually nearing completion, and it is unlikely that large-scale new geocentric cities will be built in the future. However, there are still nearly 5 billion people left in the terrestrial world.

Because of the implementation of special policies in the past 40 years, while a large number of young people have moved underground or into space, a large number of aging populations in geocentric cities have also moved outward. In addition, some of the young people left behind are growing old in a long waiting time. As a result, the population structure of the world left behind on the ground has seen a rapid aging and negative growth.

In particular, due to the impact of the apocalyptic crisis, more and more young couples are choosing to have fewer children or not to have children in an era of turmoil and war. As a result, the birth rate has also been greatly affected, and in the past 50 years, the total population of the earth has plummeted from 9 billion to 8 billion.

This is certainly not a good sign, but it does reduce the pressure on governments to a certain extent, so they turn a blind eye to it and let it go.

In summary, 70% of the 5 billion people left behind in the terrestrial world are elderly, and only 30% are under the age of 50, but this also means that there are still 1.5 billion target people who cannot be properly resettled.

......

In the fifth year that the Third Space City Group has left the solar system, the First Space City Group is about 1 light-year away from the Sand Star in the Alpha Centauri system, and they have entered a phase of deceleration. The Second Space City Group, where Yuan Haochen belongs, has just entered the second year of stable flight, and it is still about 2.8 light-years away from the Sand Star.

On this day, in the highest administrative district of the Central Space City, where the federal government is located, Yuan Haochen received an email from Earth. This email was sent to him by Durunik more than a year ago.

At this moment, Yuan Haochen was sitting alone in the office, he opened the mail system, and an old but extremely familiar face appeared on the display screen.

It was his friend Durunik. At nearly 90 years old, his wrinkled face is like a sand bucket of time, and he can clearly see the scars of the wind and rain of the years. In the slightly sunken eye sockets, a pair of dark blue eyes can still see vitality and spirit.

Before Durunik could speak in the picture, Yuan Haochen sighed first. Trunik was only a few years older than himself, but he was in stark contrast to himself. It really made him feel a kind of stunned like green silk turning into snow at dusk.

"Hao Chen, you're okay." Durunik's slightly muffled voice rang out, "Old habit, today I will tell you a bad news and a good news!" ”

"I know you're used to hearing bad news first. Just a few days ago, the Commander-in-Chief died......" Durunik made a gesture of prayer, and then continued, "When the Commander-in-Chief left, we told everyone, including you, of course, that the Commander-in-Chief was very happy, because he had lived for more than 100 years, and when he left, the apocalyptic crisis had not yet broken out, which showed that the civilization of the earth had earned another precious time. ”

This news surprised Yuan Haochen, but it also seemed reasonable. Including the death of Dr. Mingqi a few years ago, although he was full of regret in his heart, he could only sigh secretly, and he couldn't change anything.

"The commander-in-chief hopes that we will not be sad, he has already seen through life and death, and he has no regrets in his heart for leaving this time."

Trunik was silent for a while, and continued: "That's the case, I can especially understand the mood of the commander-in-chief. Life is short, and I don't think I will have any regrets when I leave this world. But I still hope to live a few more years, and I hope to see more space cities leave the solar system with hope. ”

"Okay, let's talk about the good news." Durunik changed his words and continued to speak slowly, "You know, the construction of the [Inner World] has long exceeded the load of the earth. Therefore, at present, governments around the world have gradually stopped the construction of [geocentric cities] and shifted the focus of construction to space cities. ”

"Therefore, the construction progress of the space city is expected to be further accelerated, but it is a pity that most of the labor force on the earth has been transferred to the underground city, otherwise, the construction of the space city will be faster." Durunik said with a smile, "Haha~, no matter what, in two years, the Fourth Space City Group is expected to fly out of the solar system, believe I will definitely see that day!" ”

"It's really so obscene to smile when you're old...... Yuan Haochen said sadly as he looked at Durunik's wrinkled smile.

"Finally, I want to say one more thing."

At this point, Durunik's face suddenly became gloomy.

"I'm sure you're aware that by comparing the orbit of star WR104 over the past century, we have found that the axis of rotation of star WR104 is more and more precisely aligned with the Earth."

"This is really a great irony, is the earth civilization an outcast of the universe? Is the universe deliberately trying to kill us? Stellar WR104 is like a terrifying sniper rifle aimed at Earth, which is completely at the center of a beam of intense gamma-ray bursts, without any tilt. Durunik said with some indignation.

"Why is this happening! I have a strong premonition that the earth has been precisely locked, and the end may not be far away......"

After saying this, Durunik fell silent helplessly.
