Chapter 1: The Earth's Past in the Age of Reims
Gatis in the Reims system in 276 A.D
Gatis and Fog are a pair of neighbors with the highest military power, and for interstellar travelers, the dust-soaked surface of Fog is like a desolate and lifeless hell. Since Gaxing is a landless sea, most cities are wrapped in giant glass balls that allow you to float freely in the Gasa, but 40% of the inhabitants still prefer to live on forested artificial islands. There are large quantities of deuterium, deuterium, and tritium in the Gahai, and the endless energy is continuously extracted to the city's nuclear power station for polymerization reactions. The life of the Gaxing people is rich and carefree, but their military strength is not inferior to that of the Fog Star.
The Gaxing that shrouded in a lilac aura had always seemed so quiet and quiet, but now, there was a tense atmosphere here, and all the teenagers of the Gaxing would face a fateful Holy Navigator selection exam in two Ga's months. After a few years of training, the selected children will be given the position of Guardian with interstellar navigation qualifications, and can search for mineral deposits in neighboring systems, or assist in the establishment of new bases, and excellent Guardians will have the opportunity to participate in the restoration of the Star Axis Passage. At Gaxing, space is a child's dream...
※※※
It is a forest deep in the valley, and the blue, reddish-brown trees are lush and lush, painted with mystery and poetry.
In the depths of the valley, there are several buildings under blue glass covers, and transparent passages connect each building, like a few cute kittens curled up in the arms of the mother forest. From time to time, the boisterous sounds of children come out of it, and it seems that this is a forest school.
"Whew-----"
"Whoosh ------"
Two small flying saucers flew towards the forest like two meteors. With a hemispherical transparent top and a 360-degree field of view, below is the cockpit of an anti-gravity thruster, one carved with a kawaii dolphin, and the other in the shape of a polar bear.
Driving the "Polar Bear" in front was a little boy about 14 years old, with reddish-brown hair, whistling happily all the way, enjoying the thrill of speed; And the owner of the "dolphin" in the back, a girl with a delicate face, followed anxiously, about 16 years old.
"Timmer, what's the use of you driving so fast now!" The girl said complainingly: "Anyway, it's definitely late, and you have to queue up to stop the flying saucer, you always get up and procrastinate, and every time I follow you to be criticized!"
"Hee-hee, not today. Sister Luer, I'll cover you up! Timmer gave a mischievous salute, suddenly picked up speed, and drew a beautiful parabola and fell in the direction of the school.
"Hey, it's dangerous!" The girl raised her voice nervously, but it was too late to stop: Timmer flew the "Polar Bear" like a rocket to the top of one of the glass covers, and the glass covers automatically separated as if they had eyes, and the saucer sank rapidly------
Lul quickly covered his ears.
"Phew!" "Bang dang!"
"Ah----h
Then came the angry voice of Teacher Minnie that rang through the forest.
Timmer!! Did you come to class or did you tear down the classroom??? ”
Timmer jumped off the "polar bear" with a grin, and said politely and obediently: "Teacher, I have promised you that you will not be late again from today, I am very good at talking!" ”
Ilul drove the "dolphin" safely into the top floor of the parking lot that surrounded the glass cover, and slipped into the classroom through the back door, just as she saw the young and beautiful teacher Minnie glaring angrily, how could she have time to pay attention to her.
The chubby Miyamoto and the short Wede were probably knocked over by the wave of air that Timmer set off when he landed, and they had just gotten up from the ground, waving their fists, and ran after Timmer everywhere, and the classroom was a mess.
"Alright, don't make a fuss! Let's hurry up and finish today's content, and Timmer will find the teacher after class! Now move on!"
Timmer turned back to his seat, saw that Ilul had come in safely, and stuck out his tongue at Ilul, smiling triumphantly.
Teacher Minnie returned to the lectern in the center of the classroom, and the classroom suddenly went dark.
The children adjusted their chairs very tacitly, tilted back into small beds, and lay down comfortably, while the glass cover above their heads began to change into a beautiful starry sky. A cloud of colorful light gradually converged from the starry sky to form a silver-blue vortex, and the vortex kept spinning. In the inner part of the vortex, a third of the way from the core, there was a halo surrounded by yellow light, which stood out very prominently, with an orange point of light in the center of the halo and eight other small points of light surrounding it. Next to it is an arrow that indicates: Solar System.
"Once upon a time, we all came from an ancient parent star of the solar system, which was also covered by a blue ocean, and land used to occupy nearly a quarter of its surface area. In the 24th century, the earth has fully matured nuclear fusion technology, and human beings have solved the energy problem, but they cannot curb the rise of sea level under global warming, and the sea level has risen by 13.7 meters compared with the beginning ......of the 21st century.
"Teacher, I have forgotten a little, is the home planet on the third small point of light?" Lai Wei, who had brown curly hair, interjected in a loud voice, ruining the atmosphere of everyone listening to the story.
"Yes, that's it, and everyone has to remember that we're all from this coordinate. Next, let me give you a brief history of the home planet. ”
The melodious music of the cello quietly sounded, and the soft and melodious voice of Teacher Minnie brought the children back to the world that had become far away.
"At that time, human footprints had spread all over the solar system, and the Moon, Mars, Enceladus, and Ganymede had all become human colonies. With the absence of today's C-type buffers, there is a high risk of hibernation at sub-light speeds, with a radius of activity completely confined to the solar system. It wasn't until decades before the Reims era that we mastered the technology of star-axis navigation and discovered the negative matter fountain on the Gamoon, which is the only star-axis channel that can last for hundreds of years. It wasn't until 16 years ago that after the collapse of the star axis, the fountain of negative matter on the Gayue moon was closed. ”
"Teacher, the star axis leading to the earth has collapsed, so can we return to our home planet in the future?"
"I don't know, I hope so. We are still looking for new star axes, which is one of the goals of the Holy Voyage School. Whether we succeed or not, whether we can return to Earth in the future, you must remember: we are always from the solar system 25,000 light-years away from the heart of the galaxy on the spiral arm of the constellation Orion!"
......
Teacher Minnie looked at the time: "Okay, let's adjust the backrest." That's the end of the lesson. ”
As soon as Ilul got up, she felt someone touch her shoulder, and when she looked back, it was the blond-haired Ouya: "Luer, is your 16th birthday also this month?" ”
"yes, it's been a few days."
"Me too, finally found a companion!" The beautiful Ouya smiled happily: "Then let's go together on tomorrow's baptism!"
