Chapter 363: Heroes of the Earth

And to be honest, for most of the crew, this long-distance voyage of more than 20 years was too hard, too difficult for them.

For the crew, although they have also reasonably avoided the sailing time through repeated dormancy, every member of the fleet has lived in space for at least more than ten years, which is a cruel destruction for everyone.

You know, it's not a day or two, it's not a year or two, it's a decade or twenty years!

In the First Emperor spacecraft, the personal living space that can be left for each crew member is extremely narrow, on average, each couple can only be divided into a small room compartment of a few square meters, the small room is not only small, even the height is extremely limited, the height of the floor is less than three meters high, it can be said that a little taller, stretching out his hands on tiptoe, he can almost reach the roof, living in such a small house for more than ten years, for the crew who are accustomed to enjoying a modern lifestyle of hundreds of square meters per capita, a room has dozens of square meters, and is full of all kinds of modern appliances, it is simply an unbearable ordeal!

It's time for the space interstellar era, ordinary people can enjoy the life of having a big bathroom at home, a little richer, a big swimming pool at home, it is a common thing, and even a bath on the spaceship is a public bathroom, and the bath water has to be recycled thriftily, such a life is more than 20 years, to be honest, if it is not a passion, want to fight for a brilliant future for the earth civilization, for the high-quality personnel in the faster-than-light spacecraft team, it is simply unbearable for a day。

And now, they have endured this life for twenty years, and they are really physically and mentally exhausted, and as the spaceship gets closer and closer to the mainland of the earth, everyone's heart is full of excitement and joy to go home.

It's really nice to finally come back, even looking at the once somewhat desolate shipping lane, now it's getting busy, and the passenger and cargo ships in the galaxy are weaving back and forth on the shipping lane, shuttling non-stop, and the crew has a feeling of joy.

At the same time, it can be said that from the first time the First Emperor spacecraft officially stepped into the realm of the solar system, the entire earth civilization was already shrouded in a boiling public opinion.

A big piece of news that blew like a whirlwind through every corner inhabited by earthlings.

The First Emperor, after more than 20 years of events, has finally successfully returned home and has returned to the solar system!

With this exciting news, large numbers of people from all over the world spontaneously took action to celebrate the return of the heroes!

Yes, in everyone's mind, every crew member of the First Emperor is a hero of genuine value.

The first spacecraft to carry out interstellar migration in the history of Earth civilization, and the first member of a flying fleet to carry out such an important mission, this mission is unprecedented in terms of historical significance and hardship.

In the process of the spacecraft's return, the Earth government officially disclosed a large number of spacecraft information, all kinds of information, involving the work and life of the spacecraft crew, involving the sacrifices and contributions made by everyone during their journey, after witnessing these materials, even the most demanding and conservative Earth citizens, have to admit that these crew members really paid extremely great sacrifices, paid extremely hard efforts, and everyone is a well-deserved hero.

Compared with these heroes of the earth who have made great sacrifices and contributions, even the civilians who do the hardest work and enjoy the lowest level of treatment on the earth have to admit that their living standards are too luxurious and enjoyable, and they are not as good as one-tenth of what the heroes pay.

So a large number of people on the earth spontaneously celebrated the return of the heroes, in reality, one party after another, one celebration after another in full swing, on the Internet, the posts welcoming the return of the heroes, but also all over the Internet, were spread everywhere, often up to millions of floors of welcome posts, but also covered all over the ground.

However, the work on the ship's shipboard is quite busy, and the crew has almost no opportunity to browse the useless information on the Internet, so the celebrations of netizens are invisible to them, and they are also unaware of the celebrations around the earth.

However, there were still some celebrations that were immediately reflected in the eyes of the crew.

After entering the solar system, almost every spaceship encountered displayed rows of signal lights or information screens outside the hull, and the warm greetings made the crew feel warm.

"Welcome back the heroes!"

"Welcome back to the First Emperor!"

"Mom and Dad, I'm celebrating you on the spaceship, go home early, I miss you, I'm XXX!"

Along the way, all kinds of information came into view, but the crew was moved, if it wasn't still in the spaceship, the crew couldn't wait to see their relatives for the first time, how many years have not seen each other in person, I really miss it so much!

Fortunately, although he was anxious in his heart, with the speed of the First Emperor's spaceship, the speed of returning to the earth was amazingly fast, and it didn't take long for the earth's blue star to appear in front of the spacecraft, reaching a distance visible to the naked eye.

The spaceship slowed down, and its speed dropped again and again, and at that moment, two welcoming queues of intragalactic warships appeared on both sides of the channel.

At the same time as the Shihuang spacecraft passed by, the warships sent greetings and communications one after another, and at the same time, the ship's guns were facing space, sending out a volley of air again and again, and the special fireworks salute was painted in the space with extremely bright and moving patterns and colors.

This is the best treatment in the space age, with ten warships firing a 49-gun salute, which is an unprecedented standard of treatment, and is specially prepared for the crew of the First Emperor. It shows the signs of what level of treatment they will expect.

The First Emperor thanked her comrades in the battleship one by one, and its speed decreased again, and in a short time it had already passed through the atmosphere and flew to the location of a spaceship take-off and landing base specially prepared for the First Emperor's spacecraft.

On the berth of the spaceship, the First Emperor landed steadily, as if it were as light as nothing, without the furious attitude of an ordinary type of spaceship, but this only highlighted the powerful energy it contained.

At this time, in the base, the welcoming masses formed a sea of people, and the neat squares were like endless rivers with no end in sight, and it was conservatively estimated that there were millions of welcoming people present today.

At the same time as the spacecraft landed, many people had already seen the surface of the spaceship full of mottled and rugged deformation of the spaceship's hull, such a state made the First Emperor look like an indomitable soldier who had just come down from the battlefield, covered in gunpowder smoke and scars, and the people couldn't help but be amazed, and their hearts couldn't help but be full of amazement and admiration.

On the contrary, their high quality and strength are only a few places that can be compared with all the industrial production fields of the entire earth, and there are only a few places that can be compared with them, and such a powerful marine shell plate, in the course of several decades of sailing, has actually become the current state of being covered in scales, large and small basin-sized potholes, it is simply countless, it cannot be repaired, it is not a small injury that is serious enough to threaten the safety of the spacecraft, and the members of the fleet can't even deal with it。

In addition to being shocked, the people couldn't help but once again appreciate the hardships of the crew and the degree of danger they encountered.

Although the conditions encountered by the First Emperor several times during this voyage were ultimately thrilling and did not cause major harm, this does not mean that it really came all the way peacefully.

What the people saw was that the trauma on the outside of the spaceship was actually just the damage caused to the spacecraft by some insignificant small objects, and in the state of faster-than-light flight, if there was no careful response from the crew, more tragic disasters would not have happened.

And in the shock of the spaceship, the members of the fleet had already walked out one by one from the exit staircase that stretched out diagonally from the spaceship.

Every member of the crew walked out of the ship as neatly dressed and energetic as possible, but they could still clearly see the tiny signs of wear and tear on their clothing, and the bloodshot and tired eyes of their clothes.

"Welcome back our heroes!"

In the midst of the welcome and congratulations led by the leadership team of the Earth regime from all walks of life, all the members of the spacecraft fleet received a warm welcome from the welcoming crowd, and the whole ceremony lasted for a total of two hours, and every crew member shook hands with sour hands and smiled stiffly, which ended the entire welcome ceremony.

Originally, the length of this ceremony was much longer, but it was precisely in consideration of the physical and mental exhaustion of the crew that it was compressed to the limit of two hours, and the live broadcast program for the whole solar system relayed the grand occasion of the entire welcome ceremony to all corners of the solar system, and even the giant planet as far away as 20 light years away received the broadcast signal, but because the distance was too far, even with the efficiency of the faster-than-light communication system, there was a communication delay of several minutes.

After a warm welcome and congratulations to the First Emperor spacecraft, more than 20,000 crew members of the First Emperor spacecraft were immediately sent to a suspended RV, where they were sent back to their respective homes in a hearty rest and sleep.

The crew of the First Emperor spacecraft first rested in their respective homes and reunited with their families for more than a month, and then began a long, successful heroic life, with speeches and speeches waiting for them again and again, and new positions were also waiting for them. As a hero of the earth's civilization, every spaceship team member has been placed and rewarded with the most appropriate placement.

The vast majority of the crew, after more than 20 years of voyage, completely lost the determination and perseverance to carry out the interstellar mission again in a short period of time.

After all, such a long, tense nervous exertion and depression cannot be overcome by relaxation and reunion in a short period of time, and the interstellar journey that lasts for more than 20 years cannot be executed again and again, which is irresponsible to everyone.

Therefore, after the vast majority of the crew carried out this mission, they all changed to new positions and engaged in some easier careers and lives, and only some crew members who were reluctant to give up the voyage mission were completely relaxed, and after a rigorous assessment, they participated in the follow-up flight missions of other faster-than-light spacecraft.

After all, in any case, these pilots who have experienced long-distance migration voyages are extremely scarce and valuable professionals, as long as they can bear it themselves, and have a physical and functional state that meets the standards, it is not difficult to return to the flight post, not only is it not difficult, but they will also go to a higher level of work, bear a more arduous task burden, as a professional with rich experience, for the follow-up team operation, to provide more full opinions and references.

However, all the members of the fleet said goodbye to the ship.

After all, while the crew was resting, the First Emperor was not resting.

For the First Emperor, which completed a long-range interstellar migration flight, it was completely overhauled and maintained, and a large number of components and subsystems that did not meet the new standards were replaced, and it was almost completely reborn.

At the same time, a large number of scientists and engineers have also carried out in-depth and meticulous inspection and analysis of the overall state of the First Emperor spacecraft, and through various feedback and traces of the First Emperor spacecraft, scientists have gained many valuable experiences and lessons that are difficult to obtain under conventional conditions, and can carry out targeted transformation and adjustment of future spacecraft.

The First Emperor's contribution to the civilization of the earth is far more than that, and the large number of various resources and species it transported back from the giant beast planet have also been divided up in the most meticulous manner by scientists from all walks of life.

The research resources of various alien planets have injected new ideas and blood into many industries and fields of the earth's civilization, and have played a very key and positive role in the following hundreds of years.

And this is a valuable benefit that a civilization will inevitably reap after entering the great era of interstellar civilization. (To be continued.) )
