Deep Space Fleet

Zhang Yuan's heart felt empty, as if something precious had been lost.

Unwillingly, he rummaged through the database.

Inside the spaceship, on a simple public forum, there were also a lot of comments about current affairs.

【...It's really embarrassing, the Deep Space Foundation fell like this. In our era, it was a real behemoth...There really is no such thing as eternity in the world. 】

[Even the government is unwilling to support the foundation? Refused to allocate hundreds of millions of funds every year? 】

[A few hundred million may not be enough. The foundation needs to investigate all aspects of the entire society and needs a lot of financial support... Didn't you realize that a long time ago, the financial situation of the foundation was not very good, and it was only supported by its old capital That's all. 】

【On the contrary, I think it is only natural that the government does not support it. It has been a thousand years, and who will remember us. In the eyes of ordinary people, allocating such funds is just a meaningless thing...]

[Is there no local tyrant willing to support it? 】

【Local tycoon? Where did the local tyrant come from? 】

[We have lost contact with the earth permanently like this? 】

[I have to say, that's it. 】

All in all, all kinds of complaints have lasted for hundreds of years.

Since everyone wakes up at different times, it doesn't seem uncommon for a topic to be discussed for hundreds of years.

Zhang Yuan feels that this kind of ancient text exchange forum is quite warm. Because of the real-name system, everyone is generally more rational, and the comments seem to be quite nutritious. There are no so-called trolls and sunspots.

He also wrote on it: [Although, we seem to have no way to witness the next step of history, but according to the history of new civilization, further predictions can be made...]

[The future of mankind is nothing more than two greatest possibilities. The first is the "brain in a vat", which develops internally and seeks the most core spiritual sustenance...]

[The second is the "Sea of ​​Stars", which develops outward and seeks a wider living space. 】

[For now, the probability of the first type may be higher... After there is no way to continue to develop, people will start to seek the most core sustenance. This kind of sustenance does not have to be religion, but can also be other things, such as the entertainment industry, or some customary culture, forming a final stable state. 】

[Get comfort and happiness from certain things, and you will not feel at a loss in life. If everyone is like this, the world is equivalent to finally stabilizing. 】

After writing this long list and clicking the "Publish" button, the depression in my heart seems to be much less.

Suddenly, Zhang Yuan browsed to another line of information marked in red.

[Everyone come and watch, new news about Earth civilization has appeared! 】

[However, it's not the Deep Space Foundation, but an email from a child! I was so lucky today that I was the first to witness this line of information! 】

Fifty years ago, the Earth Age spacecraft accidentally received a letter from the Earth civilization.

"Earth Age, friends of the Golden Sun, hello! My name is Aidin, I live on Earth, and I am 14 years old."

"Today, when I was studying the history of civilization, I suddenly discovered the once very popular 'New History of Civilization', as well as the former Deep Space Foundation..."

"People actually want to use mathematics to try to guide civilization. It's really a subject full of imagination! I don't know, with a large number of historical samples, how have you developed this subject?"

"I even discovered that the earth civilization once launched two deep space colonization ships, ah, the ambitious deep space colonization plan, what a great initiative! It's a pity that I was not born in that magnificent era."

"But, why is our current civilization unable to colonize foreign countries?"

"Is it because our technology has regressed, or is the resource not rich enough?"

"Faced with this question, my father was silent for a long time, and finally he said that he didn't know."

"Maybe when I grow up, I will be able to know. Maybe I need to find the answer from the real society..."

"By the way, my father is the chairman of the famous Kalva Industrial Group. He is the 16th most valuable in the world. He is... ha, a well-known entrepreneur! You can think of me as the second generation of rich people. This should be a derogatory term, right? ? But in our age, it’s a compliment.”

"It's been two hundred years since we lost contact. You must really want to know how the earth's civilization has changed? Oh, for you who are hibernating, it's just a short moment... In fact, there are many hibernating people here, such as Speaking of my grandfather, he wanted to live in a more technological future, but I didn’t think it made much sense.”

"The following is some information I gathered. I overdrawn my pocket money for two years and sent you a file of less than 10MB. Sorry, the distance is too far, the cost of sending these messages is too high, and the packet loss rate is also very high High, I really don't have the money to provide more content...Maybe I have to find a way to make some money instead of thinking about playing games every day?"

10MB of information is very little, basically text, including government work reports, current affairs news, and some scientific journals, etc.

Zhang Yuan's heart warmed slightly, and he felt a subtle touch.

This touch comes from the distant earth.

No matter what era, there are people who yearn for "poetry and distance".

A child born in the upper class still remembered their two spaceships, and spent a lot of money to bring them precious information.

Zhang Yuan carefully read the information sent by Aiding, first of all, of course, it was about technology.

He pinched his nose and looked at these academic journals. They were bad, really bad. Anyway, the part he could understand was no different from cheating funding. It's just a noun that has been replaced to deceive laymen who don't understand.

The part he couldn't understand... Looking at the comments of the spaceship peers, there was a lot of scolding, it should still be bad.

In other words, the most cutting-edge theories, whether it is physical chemistry or biology, have basically stagnated.

Zhang Yuan sighed, this kind of thing is expected...

Followed by some changes in society, these things are more important reference materials for them.

The Cold War is over and the world has returned to peace, but the fundamental contradiction in civilization - the huge gap between rich and poor - still exists.

This is a difficult problem to solve. Civilian movements and various demonstrations have occurred frequently, and civilization has never been able to restore the peace of the past.

In order to solve this fundamental contradiction, human society has adopted many complex solutions. In addition to using the entertainment industry to castrate the spirit of the people, it also adopts a series of measures to benefit the people, such as workers' guilds, increasing taxes on high-income earners, etc. , in order to reduce the exploitation of ordinary people by capitalists.

In the next period of time, this young student Ai Ding actually replaced the Deep Space Foundation and sent letters again and again!

It has even continued until now!

Although the amount of data each time is not large, it is far better than disconnecting.

In a recent letter, Professor Aiding, who has become a sociologist, wrote: "Friends of the Earth Age and the Golden Sun, I think I have found the real answer."

"Our time is no longer your time."
