The completion of the space elevator and the breakthrough of controllable nuclear fusion technology are two great encouragements to the world, and they have also alleviated defeatism to a large extent.

But the calm leaders know that this is only the beginning, and if the construction of the space fleet is compared to the ocean fleet, humanity has only just arrived on the coast with tools, and the shipbuilding dock has not yet been built.

In addition to the construction of the spaceship itself, the research of star warfare weapons and the circular ecosystem of spaceships, as well as the construction of space ports, will face a technological abyss that mankind has never faced, and all this, it may take a century to complete the preparation only in technology.

In addition to the daunting technological abyss, human society will face another severe test: the construction of a space defense system will consume an excess of resources, and this consumption is likely to set back the standard of living of mankind by a century.

So, the greatest challenge to the human spirit is yet to come.

It was in this context that the higher authorities decided to start implementing the future plan for the reinforcement of political and industrial cadres of the Space Force, and Zhang Beihai, as the original proposer of the plan, was selected as the commander of the first batch of reinforcements for the future contingent.

After receiving his appointment, he proposed that all task force officers should be allowed to intern and work in space for at least one year before going into hibernation, as necessary preparation for their future work in the Space Force.

"The superiors don't want us to become the political commissar of the fleet that can't go to sea at that time, do they?" He said to Chang Weisi. The request was quickly approved, and a month later, he and thirty comrades from the first task force would go into space.

Therefore, Zhang Beihai, who had completed the assassination operation, continued to stay in space for a year, and then returned to the Blue Star ground in a space elevator, preparing to hibernate to reinforce the future.

The future political work task force will go to the hibernation ground, and Chang Weisi will see him off at the airport with several senior generals of the Space Force, and he will hand over a letter to Zhang Beihai.

"This is my letter to my future successor, in which I present you and make a solemn recommendation to the future Space Force Command.

You will wake up fifty years from now, or even longer, when you may face a more difficult working environment, first of all, to adapt to the future, and at the same time to maintain the soul of the military of our time, to figure out what we are working in now, which is outdated, and which needs to be adhered to, which may become a great advantage for you in the future. ”

Zhang Beihai said: "Chief, for the first time, I feel some regrets for the atheists, otherwise we can finally meet at a certain time and place with hope. ”

He said such a thing, which was always cold, which surprised Chang Weisi a little, and these words also made waves in everyone's hearts again, but as soldiers, they all hid the throbbing in their hearts deeply.

"We are very lucky to be together in this life, and I say hello to our future comrades on our behalf." Chang Weisi said.

After a final military salute, the task force began boarding.

Chang Weisi's gaze never left Zhang Beihai's back, this determined warrior is gone, there may not be a second person like him. Where did that conviction come from? This question has always been hidden in Chang Weisi's heart, and sometimes thinking about this even makes him a little jealous.

A soldier who has the belief in victory is lucky, and in this ultimate war, there are very few people who can have such luck. Zhang Beihai's tall figure disappeared into the hatch, and Chang Weisi had to admit that in the end, he couldn't understand him thoroughly.

The plane took off, carrying these people who had a chance to see the final end of humanity, and disappeared behind the pale thin clouds. It was a bleak winter day, the sun glowing feebly white behind the thin gray veil clouds, the cold wind blowing through the empty airport, the cold making the air like a frozen crystal, and the sight made one wonder if spring was really coming.

Chang Weisi tightened the collar of his military coat, today was his fifty-fourth birthday, and in this bleak winter wind, he saw the end of himself and humanity at the same time.

……

In the 20th year of the crisis year, the Trimaran Fleet was 4.15 light-years away from the solar system

Rediaz, Hines, and Li Yang were simultaneously awakened from hibernation, and they were told that the technology they had been waiting for had appeared.

"So fast?" When the three of them learned that only eight years had passed, they all exclaimed.

They were then told that technological progress in the past few years had indeed been rapid, thanks to an unprecedented investment of resources, but that there was nothing to be optimistic about, and that humanity was just speeding up the final distance between them and the Wise Child Barrier.

It is only technology that advances, cutting-edge physics is stagnant like a pool of stagnant water, the reserves of theory are being depleted, and human technological progress will slow down until it comes to a complete halt, but it is still unclear when the end of technology will appear.

Hines shuffled his hibernation stiff steps into a building that looked like a gymnasium. The interior of the building was shrouded in a misty white fog, and Hines felt that it was dry and didn't know what it was.

There was a soft moonlight that illuminated the fog, and the fog accumulated above, making it appear so thick that the dome of the building could not be seen, but it was faint in a space that was more than a person high. In the fog, he saw a petite figure and immediately recognized it as Keiko Yamasugi, and he ran towards her as if chasing a phantom in the fog, but they eventually embraced.

Later, Keiko Yamasugi introduced Hines to the technological progress during his hibernation and the diagram of Keiko Yamasugi's brain structure, and thus began the direction and process of Hines's research.

After Li Yang woke up, he specially asked Chang Weisi about the situation of Luo Ji and Zhang Beihai, and Li Yang also knew that Luo Ji had launched a "spell" to other galaxies, and that Luo Ji had been hit by a genetic missile.

According to the current state of affairs, Li Yang already has a plan for what path Lanxing should take next.

Over there, Rediaz has a plan to deploy a large-yield nuclear bomb in the solar system with the support of the current computer computing power and related technologies of the Blue Star.
