Chapter 2: The Long Interstellar Mothership

Time marched forward in obscurity, without leaving a second for anyone, and when humanity loaded the last piece of ore from the moon into the capsule, the last thing to do as interstellar travel was declared complete.

A long interstellar mothership.

In the more than 1,000 years that humans have been in the synchronous orbit of the moon, they have built her to a length of 2,500 miles.

This project is huge and complex, and the grandeur and domineering are very spectacular.

The military facilities on the Starcarrier are built at the front and rear, with eight positions on the upper side, left side, right side and belly.

This is to be able to react as quickly as possible when it comes to action, and there is no hindrance

The necessary large raw material warehouse is designed in the rear position, in front of the thrusters, along with the raw material warehouse here there are also nuclear power plants, fully automated plants, renewable energy centers .......

In addition to these complex and dangerous facilities, which are at the rear, the largest facility on the mothership is now the Star Plaza.

It reaches a staggering five hundred miles in diameter.

It is the largest center of activity on an interstellar carrier, and the largest plaza ever built by mankind.

Not one of them!

At this moment, the Star Plaza was crowded with people and lively.

Millions of people stood together on the square, not on a scale that was unprecedented, but absolutely unprecedented.

This is the first major gathering since everyone has arrived in the capsule.

It was a historic moment.

The 500-kilometer-diameter Interstellar Plaza has been built with a total of 50 floors, except for the top floor, which is a public place for everyone to move, and the rest of the places are designed as ecological factories, animal and plant breeding centers, hospitals, schools, .......

And so on all the necessary facilities.

With the passage of time, more than a thousand years have passed, and the current people are the descendants of the survivors, who have completed their knowledge of their ancestors in history class and looked at the legendary home star in the space capsule.

She was so lonely and lonely in the vast universe.

It's so serene again.

She gave everything she had without regrets to her child, the human race.

Despite the view from the moon's orbit, the Earth is still so blue and beautiful.

But everyone knows:

It's only a matter of time before you get out of here.

Even if there was no devastating nuclear war 2,000 years ago.

The earth does not have too many resources for human beings to squander.

The war only speeded up the process, albeit brutally.

But it's still true.

Looking at this lonely home planet, everyone knows why they are here and the environment they are about to face.

That's ......

The whole harsh, unknown universe.

I have to do what my ancestors didn't do without knowing anything, and I have an incomparably beautiful vision for the future life.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

A series of roars rang out one after another, and the lighting facilities on the entire interstellar square were activated at once.

Intense light pierced through the trees of the square, illuminating the delicate amber color of the green leaves.

The soft grass is also a piece of greenery that is pleasing to the eye.

On the huge interstellar plaza, the designers set up a holographic projector every 100 meters at the beginning, which can play real-time news, movies or film and television dramas.

You can even use its communication function to communicate with your friends and family in case of an emergency.

Or direct evacuation and rescue, report the source of danger, and point out the right direction for the rapid response police.

……

It's all about serving everyone better.

It is also hoped that all citizens will have a place to relax after a hard day.

Of course, it is necessary to be aware of security at all times, and this cannot be forgotten.

There is not a single private vehicle on this sprawling interstellar plaza, and even the electric drive elves that people use most often when traveling are absolutely forbidden.

Only the police officers are allowed to walk, but the speed must be within 20 km/h.

Failure to do so will result in severe penalties.

If there is an emergency, the duty vehicle can be converted into a helicopter within five seconds to quickly rush to the scene of the incident.

Everyone can only travel by subway under the square, and in case of emergency, they can apply to the Rapid Response Police for transportation assistance in accordance with the emergency regulations.

There is a mountain several hundred meters high in the square, although it is not big and not too high, but it is still good.

They were all piled up using minerals from the moon.

You can say that this is a rockery, and of course no one will object to it if it is a real mountain.

In fact, hundreds of years have passed, and it is now a completely new ecological environment, except for some plants and trees that were originally cultivated artificially.

Towering trees, unclimbable.

The tallest is already thirty-six meters tall.

From time to time there are sika deer trotting through the woods, hares running wildly, elephants, zebras, and even wolves, of course, locked up, this guy can't just let them out.

Those who can wander around in the wild are those who have no aggressive tendencies.

For example, the African grass mud horse, the Asian Ya Butterfly, the American spotted deer, the European Butterbur and so on.

The holographic projector is now playing the most popular film series, The End of Man.

Now these holographic projectors have become one of the essential facilities in public places of the government.

It is used to broadcast all the important news of the government when it is important.

Now the subtitles of the film and television have been inserted into the government notice, reminding all citizens to gather at Star Plaza at 8 o'clock in the evening.

All of them say their final greetings to the earth before they leave.

Actually, there is no need to be reminded, everyone is here together.

Just waiting for this long-awaited moment to come.

"My Ares team has endured a lot of hardships and won again and again, but we still faced a devastating moment in the end, and I was always thinking about how to avoid this moment, but this moment was inevitable in the end."

The protagonist on the screen destroys his spaceship under the siege of the enemy at the end, watching his comrades disappear in front of him one by one, and at the moment when he is on the verge of death, he thinks of his mother: "How should she face the news of her death." He also thought of his comrades-in-arms, as well as their loved ones: "How the relatives of their comrades-in-arms will cope with the pain of losing their son, husband, father or brother. We have been waging wars with our opponents for countless years, what have we waited for? If we are righteous, why do we fail? ”
