For the public, although they are looking forward to the discovery of Proxima Centauri, they definitely did not expect that their neighbors will live in special substances that can enhance the activity of human cells and delay aging.

Thinking that your life is likely to be extended, how can you not be excited.

Therefore, after seeing the official report and confirming that this matter is true, they have been hotly discussed on the Internet.

There is no doubt that the whole topic is full of joy.

Rejoice in such a huge discovery.

However, there are also pessimistic statements that even if this substance is found, it is difficult to use it in a limited way.

But there is one thing, which is supported by everyone.

That was to send a fleet to Proxima Centauri.

Whatever the final outcome will be, you can't turn a blind eye to the discovery.

Who made humanity have this strength now.

"Originally, I thought that the planet on Proxima Centauri and Mars and Saturn were almost in a harsh environment and could not survive, but I didn't expect that there would be such a special life form that could survive, and sure enough, I didn't see it with my own eyes, and our understanding of Proxima Centauri was still very shallow!"

"It took a few confirmations to believe it, and the news was so shocking."

"It can enhance cell activity and delay aging, wouldn't it be that human beings can live longer in the future."

"If the average life expectancy can increase, it is indeed a good thing for the entire human civilization."

"That's true, but if you want to go to Proxima Centauri to obtain these raw materials and research them into potions that humans can absorb, I'm afraid that no one can use them at such a high cost."

"It's really difficult to go to Proxima Centauri for so long."

"It seems that the next generation will have a chance, and we old men should not survive the day when the potion comes out."

"We should send a fleet anyway, maybe we'll find more discoveries in Proxima Centauri."

"Voyager III is fine as a spaceship thirty years ago, and our current warship will definitely be able to do it."

……

And just when there was a lot of discussion in the outside world, Xu Yun was attending a meeting of parliamentarians at the alliance headquarters.

It is no exaggeration to say that the parliamentarians' meeting is the highest meeting of the Alliance for Human Space Security, and is often used to make major decisions about human civilization.

In the event of a special event, members of the Council can also initiate a meeting of the Extraordinary Councillors.

However, the number of parliamentarians who participated was generally limited.

It's hard to get to the whole scene.

Today's meeting, however, is different.

In addition to the participation of all the members of the entire coalition, even those who could not make it from other places also appeared online.

It's like I'm afraid of missing this meeting.

The reason for this is not only that this meeting was initiated by Xu Yun, but also about Proxima Centauri's samples.

To be able to become a member of the Human Space Security Alliance, even if it is not a core member, has a noble status and has a very high status of power.

But in the face of life's things, I can't help but pay attention to them.

After all, who would dislike having more lives.

"Councilor Xu, in the samples brought back from Proxima Centauri, you have really found substances that can enhance cell activity and delay aging?"

"Has it been confirmed?"

At this time, before Xu Yun took the initiative to explain the situation, there were already councilors who couldn't control their emotions and asked.

As for the other party's performance, Xu Yun can understand.

He also initiated the meeting this time to explain this matter, and asked the alliance to send a fleet to Proxima Centauri again, so he would not deliberately sell anything at this time.

When asked about it, he replied directly: "This matter has been confirmed in the laboratory." ”

I could see that after he said this, the faces of all the councilors present looked very subtle, and they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.

It was only after about ten seconds that a new member of parliament asked, "How long can the human body live with the use of this substance?" ”

"The substance was collected by Voyager 3 by accident, and the laboratory does not have a lot of weight at the moment, which makes it impossible to carry out many in-depth experiments immediately."

"However, based on the available data in the laboratory, if you use this substance to develop medicines, it is conservatively estimated that you can prolong your life by at least 30 years."

Xu Yun listened to this sentence in his ears and replied without thinking too much in his mind.

First of all, with the amount of Proxima Centauri matter currently in the laboratory, there is no way to carry out many experiments, let alone conduct experiments on humans.

In this case, there is naturally no way to determine the effect.

Xu Yun also gave such a result based on known experimental data.

And he was very convinced that thirty years was only a small number.

Having studied so much in the solar system, he had never seen a special substance that could achieve that kind of data on cell activity.

Although the members of the House of Representatives present were not scientists, no one would doubt Xu Yun's words.

It is known that the use of this substance to develop potions will allow the human body to live for at least thirty more years.

It's definitely a temptation you can't refuse.

Xu Yun's eyes swept down, and he felt that the time was almost there, and he would officially announce his intention in the next second.

"I think all members of the council should be very clear about the effect of this substance in Proxima Centauri, which has extremely high research value for human beings, so I applied to lead a team to Proxima Centauri for field research."

Yes.

The idea came to his mind when he learned about the effects of this particular substance.

Want to go to Proxima Centauri in person.

The main thing is that his age is here, and if he waits for the fleet to bring back enough special substances, it is not known how many years will pass.

Not to mention the various risks you have to take along the way.

Even if his body can still hold up, his wife Chen Shihe will definitely not be able to wait for the fleet to return.

So the best way is to take Chen Shihe to Proxima Centauri with him.

It only takes more than a decade to get there.

At that time, the last special material mined in that planet will be able to directly research potions in the warship.

As long as it is successfully synthesized, it can delay the aging of the body, and wait for the arrival of a large army of humans to mine and transform the entire Proxima Centauri.

If there is no such discovery in Proxima Centauri, his offer to send a fleet to visit will certainly not be supported by the Alliance, but in the face of such a great temptation, I believe that those councilors will have a hard time refusing.

Really.

After hearing this, the expressions of the deputies also changed slightly, as if they were thinking about this matter.

It took half a minute before I heard a core member of parliament from the Chinese side speak.

"Don't know which fleet is suitable for Proxima Centauri?"

"The Alliance's Third Fleet, of course, represents our state-of-the-art technology, and has a faster speed that can shorten the time it takes to reach Proxima Centauri."

"On top of that, the Third Fleet is equipped with a hibernation capsule, which is essential for interstellar navigation."

Before Xu Yun initiated this meeting, he obviously planned everything very properly, and basically did not leak anything in the face of the inquiries of other parliamentarians.

Sure enough, this answer also convinced the other party, and even when he saw the core councillor make a statement.

"The prolongation of human life is conducive to the development of civilization, so I support Councilor Xu's proposal to send the Alliance's Third Fleet to Proxima Centauri and establish a connection between the two galaxies."

Speaking of which, where will other parliamentarians have objections, they have voted one after another.

"I agree."

"Agreed."

……

It can be said that at this moment, Xu Yun leading the Alliance's Third Fleet to Proxima Centauri has become a sure thing.

Since the entire fleet will sail for more than ten years to travel to the outer galaxy, this is a very large matter, and there are many preparations that need to be made.

So after the decision was made, the meeting ended quickly.

Xu Yun also began to arrange it as soon as possible.

In addition to the corresponding dormant cabin of the crew battleship spare parts, it also includes all kinds of equipment and instruments for synthesis experiments.

Make sure you get to Proxima Centauri.

And this matter was not hidden from the outside world, and it was announced by the Alliance.

Although it was basically expected, the public was also very worried after learning that Xu Yun would also go.

After all, after such a long round trip, no one dares to guarantee whether there will be a chance to see Xu Yun again.

That's it.

After five months of preparation, the Alliance's Third Fleet was finally ready to go.

In addition to the various necessary items, it is worth mentioning that the latest generation of interstellar quantum repeaters is also included.

During the fleet's voyage, interstellar quantum repeaters were deployed to create a safe route to Proxima Centauri, while establishing a quantum communication connection between the solar system and Proxima Centauri as much as possible.

If this is successful, the situation of Proxima Centauri can be transmitted back in time.

Prepare this side of the solar system in advance and send more fleets to Proxima Centauri.

After all, based on the discovery in Proxima Centauri, it is only a matter of time before human footprints will be all over Proxima Centauri in the future.

——

October 20, 2068.

Saturday.

At the door of the main ship of the Third Fleet of the Human Space Security Alliance, Xu Yun hugged Chen Shihe, who was also full of silver hair, in his arms, and looked at the crowd of people who came to see him off in the distance.

There are many familiar figures.

Although we have made full preparations, it is still unknown how this trip will be.

Xu Yun didn't say anything more on this occasion, and then retracted his gaze and comforted Chen Shihe beside him: "Don't worry, Ning Xuan's little inkstone is already big, we don't need to worry too much, and when we come back, we will definitely be able to bring back the research potion for them." ”

Xu Yun is undoubtedly relieved for his two children, because they have their own lives and are still very young, so they did not take them on an adventure on this trip.

But for Chen Shihe, it must be false to say that he is not worried about the two children at all.

However, in the twilight of her life, she can stay with Xu Yun, no matter what the ending is, she has no regrets.

replied softly, and then entered the main ship of Hope with Xu Yun.

The entire fleet's brains will still be replaced by the deep sea, which will carry out the fleet's voyages and deploy quantum repeaters.

Even if the battleship is damaged, the robot will be controlled to repair it.

Failure to do so will wake up the entire crew of the dormant pod.

Basically, for Xu Yun and the other crew members, they will arrive at Proxima Centauri after just a long sleep.

Soon.

When more than a dozen warships began to close their hatches, the entire fleet slowly rose into the air under the effect of nuclear fusion power.

And start accelerating.

The countless crowds of people below who came to see them off were looking up as much as they could at the moment.

silently sent blessings to Xu Yun in my heart.

Until the figure of the fleet has completely disappeared from view, there is still no movement for a long time.

As a warship with the pinnacle technology of human civilization at this stage, it reached space in the blink of an eye, leaving behind the beautiful blue planet.

In the core control center of the main ship Hope, Xu Yun took one last look at the appearance of the earth through the battleship, and then gave the last order to the person in charge of each cabin in front of him.

"The whole ship enters the hibernation module and switches to deep-sea mode."

"Everyone."

"We'll see you in Proxima Centauri."

"Councilor Xu, then we'll see you next to Centauri." The others also had smiles on their faces when they heard Xu Yun's words, and they didn't look nervous or scared at all.

Although it was the first time for them to carry out this kind of interstellar voyage mission, and they had not even used the hibernation capsule for such a long time, they felt a sense of security because they were accompanied by Xu Yun.

I firmly believe that as long as Councilor Xu is here, the task will definitely be successfully completed.

This is a truth that will not change.

Xu Yun didn't know what everyone was thinking, and after saying this, he led Chen Shihe into the sleeping cabin.

And as the order spread throughout the fleet, all the crews lay down in the hibernation chamber.

It wasn't until the deep sea detected that everyone was in place that the command began to be officially executed, allowing the warship to gradually accelerate to its top speed.

At this moment, feeling the liquid in the dormant chamber pouring into the abdominal cavity, Xu Yun's consciousness gradually blurred.

Eventually, it goes into deep hibernation entirely.

At the same time, his life is also monitored by the hibernation module and the deep sea, and in case of special circumstances, he will be forcibly woken out of the hibernation module.

In this way, the Third Fleet, which symbolizes the highest technology of mankind, began to sail through the universe.

It first skimmed past Mars and Jupiter, then reached Neptune, and finally broke out of the solar system.

Continue to sail on the route recorded by Voyager III.

This will effectively ensure the safety of the Third Fleet of the Alliance on the road and minimize the probability of encountering the harsh environment of the universe.

……

……

Time flies, and big dreams don't know autumn.

I don't know how long it has been, but for the first time, the body value monitored on the information screen outside the sleeping module has increased.

And then I saw that the sleeping cabin opened automatically, revealing Xu Yun's face that had not changed much.

Meanwhile.

The sound of the deep sea finally sounded inside the battleship.

"This hibernation is over."

"The dormancy time is 4530 days, 12:53:45."

"The fleet has reached the target position......"

Xu Yun, who was in the dark, as the sound of the broadcast came to his ears, the whole person seemed to suddenly have the strength to sit up slowly.

When I opened my eyes, my vision was clear again.

"I've only been sailing for more than 12 years, but it's a lot faster than expected."

Thinking of the time just announced, he muttered softly, and then stood up and came out of the sleep pod.

After a while, the other crew members also woke up one after another and returned to work.

After coming to the core cabin of the main ship, looking at the unfamiliar star that appeared on the screen, a smile suddenly appeared on Xu Yun's face.

"Proxima Centauri, we're finally here!"
