It was completely confirmed that Voyager III was back online, and the entire control center hall was filled with laughter and excitement on his face.

The average age of the engineers present was about 30 years old, and they were basically only born when Voyager 3 set sail, so naturally they had never seen Voyager 3 before.

But as a member of the Alliance's Academy of Sciences, he knew what Voyager III was about.

Especially this time back from Proxima Centauri.

This means that Voyager 3 has traveled such a long distance in space and has successfully brought back information from Proxima Centauri.

For the first time, human civilization has mastered the situation of star systems outside the solar system.

It is a huge step forward for civilization.

It can lay a solid foundation for human civilization to go out of the solar system in the future.

The topic that can make scientists most interested, the unknown can definitely be at the top of the list.

If you don't know about the moon, you will find a way to get to the moon.

The unknown of Mars has led to today's Mars City, which is the driving force for the progress and development of science and technology.

After all, the Moon and Mars are in the solar system, and the unknowns are relatively limited, which can be solved with the scientific and technological development of human civilization.

But Proxima Centauri is different.

Not to mention that this is a star system outside the solar system, just talking about the various risks from the universe that are full of all kinds of risks on the way, even a fleet with advanced technology and good equipment may still crash in the middle of the road.

Speaking of which, Xu Yun himself was not absolutely sure at the beginning.

But now his luck is not bad.

Voyager 3 survived many obstacles and returned to the solar system.

There will certainly be data on Proxima Centauri, and possibly even samples.

These are all things that scientists are after.

There is no high reason?

It is precisely because of this that Xu Yun specially ordered to announce the matter to the public to announce the good news.

While the online crowd is still young, the same people who witnessed Voyager 3 set sail 30 years ago are still there, and they're still waiting for the final results.

Now that Voyager III has returned triumphantly, it can be regarded as making up for the regret.

The person in charge in the hall was originally worried that it was an enemy, and did not dare to rashly take the initiative to establish contact with him.

Now that Xu Yun's speculation is confirmed, he is somewhat embarrassed both in his heart and on the surface.

At this moment, in the face of Xu Yun's order, he naturally did not dare to have any objections.

Without reporting to the coalition to pass the vote of all the councillors, he immediately took action to release the news through the official account.

Anyway, with Xu Yun's identity and status, what he did was not a big deal without a vote by the parliamentarians, and Xu Yun was solely responsible for the Voyager 3 project.

The action of the Alliance Academy of Sciences was very fast, and the news was officially released almost on the same day.

No doubt.

Regarding the situation of Proxima Centauri, such a bombshell news must have caused a global sensation as soon as it was released.

The popularity of the topic quickly topped the global hot search list.

Originally, for those netizens who have just become adults or college students, they don't know much about Voyager No. 3, and some people have never even heard of it.

I can't help but wonder when the Alliance fleet will have a spaceship named Voyager.

After asking his parents and teachers, and checking the information, he learned that the human footprints had reached Proxima Centauri.

So I was looking forward to it in an instant.

I want to know what the Voyager III spacecraft brought back from Proxima Centauri.

With the spread of popularity, those netizens who have become parents have also returned to the website platform to celebrate the return of Traveler No. 3, which has caused an explosive surge in active users of the website.

Even those accounts that hadn't logged in for many years have come back to life.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, no matter who opens the usual website platform, they can see the comments about discussing Voyager Three.

In the past few years, it has been a long time since the Internet has been so lively.

"Where did Voyager III come from, and are there any ships with this name among the three fleets of our alliance?"

"If you don't know, I recommend looking up the information."

"I just asked my dad, but I didn't expect that Voyager 3 was originally a project personally chaired by Councilor Xu, mainly to detect our neighbor Proxima Centauri."

"It's just incredible, I didn't expect that after so many years, Voyager III would really come back safely."

"Knowing this, I re-logged in my previous account, but I didn't expect to find the screenshot of the original Voyager 3 when it set sail, I thought I would never have the opportunity to see it in my life."

"Proxima Centauri is the closest star system to the solar system, do you think there is life there as well?"

"It would be even more surprising if we could bring back aliens."

"I'm looking forward to it, I wonder what Voyager III brought back from Proxima Centauri?"

"Welcome Voyager Three home."

……

Just when the whole network was hotly discussing the detection of Voyager 3 versus Centauri, Xu Yun also got the accurate time when Voyager 3 returned to Earth after detailed and careful calculations.

Basically, it's just a matter of the past few days.

To this end, Xu Yun personally selected personnel and formed a Proxima Centauri project team.

Samples brought back by Voyager III were studied.

When this news was announced at the Academy of Sciences, it can be said that many scientists actively responded to the registration.

want to join the project team.

Not to mention the great value of Proxima Centauri sample research, there may be a great discovery that shocks all mankind, just with Xu Yun leading the team, you have to find a way to join it.

You must know that in recent years, as Xu Yun has grown older, he has played more of a controlling role in the Alliance Academy of Sciences.

Most projects are not personally involved.

Now, because of the Proxima Centauri sample, I personally lead the project team, and the opportunity is really rare.

Even if you learn something from your side, it is very good for your future.

Of course, Xu Yun will definitely not be able to select too many people, so as not to affect the progress of other projects in the hospital.

In the end, in addition to his student Liu Rui, several relatively young and talented scientists were selected to successfully form a Proxima Centauri sample research project team to prepare for the sample study.

It can be regarded as giving more opportunities to younger generations.

Even if others have regrets, it's not good to say much.

That's it.

A few days passed quickly.

On the day that Voyager 3 predicted its arrival on Earth, Xu Yun had already taken the project team members to the battleship berthing area to take their places, in addition to various reporters and media, wanting to track and report on the return of Voyager 3.

After all, the spacecraft produced in the same batch as the Blue Star thirty years ago were able to reach Proxima Centauri and return safely.

This is enough to prove the level of warships of human civilization.

It represents the fleet that the alliance now has, capable of long-distance and long-term missions.

——

May 8, 2068.

Tuesday.

"Don't worry, teacher, since you have established an information transmission connection with Voyager 3, the arrival time will definitely not be wrong."

At this time, Liu Rui noticed Xu Yun's somewhat serious expression beside him, and thought that the other party was worried that the spacecraft would not arrive on time, so he immediately spoke out to comfort him.

With the current capabilities of deep-sea and quantum computers, it is indeed impossible to make a mistake in the case of connecting to each other.

Otherwise, how will the three fleets of the alliance work.

Xu Yun listened to this sentence in his ears, and he naturally understood what Liu Rui was worried about.

Only this time it was a different story.

It doesn't matter if Voyager III is delayed or not, even if there is a problem now, the fleet can be dispatched to bring back the wreckage of the ship.

With the original design for Voyager III, as long as it is not too badly damaged, it will not affect the samples collected.

The key is whether Voyager 3 has completed the acquisition mission.

This time, Voyager 3 returned earlier than scheduled, and perhaps the spacecraft did arrive in Proxima Centauri under the takeover of the brain, but it is unknown whether it has collected samples of the stars in the galaxy.

No one knows if there is a problem with the specific actions of the spacecraft.

Anything can happen in this situation, and the only way to know the end result is to wait for the ship to come back.

He feared that if the ship didn't collect a sample, it would be a disappointment.

And he will also leave regrets.

You must know that even if a new generation of exploration spacecraft is re-dispatched now, when he returns from Proxima Centauri, even if he is still alive, I am afraid that there will be no way to personally lead the team to study the sample.

However, at this point, no one can do anything.

The only thing you can do is wait.

Considering that there was no need to let Liu Rui worry about it, he did not say what he was worried about.

Just replied lightly: "I know." ”

After saying that, he remained silent again, and did not say anything more.

Liu Rui has always been full of confidence in Xu Yun, and firmly believes that as long as Xu Yun is in charge, there is nothing that cannot be done, and now that Voyager 3 can return to Earth smoothly, it will definitely bring back the samples needed for human civilization.

There's really nothing to worry about.

As the minutes passed, the good news finally came.

"Report to Councilor Xu, I just received news from the Alliance's Third Fleet that Voyager 3 has successfully entered the solar system."

"Right now, it's being escorted back to Earth by the Third Fleet."

"Great, I'm finally home." Xu Yun finally had a bright smile on his face when he heard this.

With the Third Fleet escorting the whole process, the return of Voyager 3 was undoubtedly smoother, and it could reach Earth in less than a few hours at full speed.

This made everyone in the next time, including Xu Yun, not leave the field halfway.

Always stick to the spot and witness this breakthrough moment in the history of human civilization development.

Until the roar of the huge engine sounded from the air, everyone suddenly realized something and hurriedly looked up.

As far as the eye could see, I saw a spaceship piercing through the clouds and slowly descending.

It was Voyager III, which has been in space for decades.

As for the accompanying Third Fleet, it remained in low-earth orbit and did not land on Earth.

Apparently worried about stealing the limelight from Voyager III.

From the outside, compared to the brand new factory of Voyager 3 30 years ago, Voyager 3 now looks very dilapidated, and even the hull can be seen with the naked eye traces of impact.

It shows that when traveling in space, there are many crises.

However, judging from the flight attitude, the core of the spacecraft was not damaged, which may be the reason why Voyager 3 was able to return safely.

"Look, it's Voyager Three!"

With the shouting of a reporter, other people around reacted and took pictures of Voyager 3, wanting to preserve the moment when the spacecraft landed.

It is worth mentioning that when Voyager 3 landed in the berthing area and actively opened the hatch, the intelligent brain in the spacecraft also completed the task and automatically lost the authority to take over the spacecraft.

In this regard, Xu Yun naturally arranged it a long time ago, and as soon as the spacecraft landed, he opened the hatch and arranged for personnel to enter.

In addition to reviewing all the recorded information of the spacecraft, it is also looking for samples in the cabin to bring back to the laboratory.

"Liu Rui will bring someone in with me."

"It's the teacher."

Liu Rui, who had long been eager to try, heard Xu Yun's words, where would he delay time, and when he led someone to follow Xu Yun into the cabin.

As for the reporters and media outside, although they wanted to know what was in the spaceship, they couldn't get close due to the interception of the security personnel, and they scratched their ears and cheeks in their hearts.

But this is also a normal process, but no one dares to force it.

After all, it is mainly something brought back from other star systems, and it is not clear whether it is good or bad for human beings, and it must be announced to the public only after professional research and experiments and corresponding conclusions.

Otherwise, it may be counterproductive.

And Xu Yun was honestly worried about the sample a second before he entered the cabin.

It wasn't until I saw the sealed samples that had been collected by specialized equipment that I was relieved.

He knew that Voyager III hadn't let him down.

"There are so many samples?"

Rao is Liu Rui, who firmly believes in Xu Yun, can't help but sigh in the face of so many Proxima Centauri samples at this moment, obviously a little beyond his previous expectations.

Several other people next to him were naturally in the same mood, understanding that joining the project team this time was a big profit.

Xu Yun didn't answer Liu Rui's words, and stepped forward to take a cursory look at the samples that were packed into the container, and soon found that according to the above records, the samples were actually from many different planets.

In other words, Voyager 3 collected all the planets in Proxima Centauri.

It's simply a super-quota to complete the task.

It is important to know that different samples on multiple planets, and samples collected on all single planets, have completely different values and meanings.

In a good mood, he couldn't help but smile at everyone and said, "You're busy next." ”

"We wish we had as many samples as possible, so that we can learn more about Proxima Centauri." The crowd heard Xu Yun's joke, and immediately took over the conversation and echoed the reply.

Once you've determined Voyager III's mission, the rest of the matter will be much simpler.

Under Xu Yun's order, all the samples in the cabin were transported out and sent to the laboratory, and even the entire Voyager 3 spacecraft had to be studied and explored in all directions.

At this time, Xu Yun obviously didn't have the heart to spend on other things, and after all the samples were transported to the laboratory, he immediately went over to lead the project team members to formally conduct a comprehensive and detailed analysis and study of the samples collected in Proxima Centauri.
