Deep Space Fleet

In the fifty-ninth year when "Sakura" appeared, the white-haired Zhang Yuan came to Atia Park in the north of Donghai City...

The celebrity behind "Atiya Park" is Sir Atiyah, a mathematician in the 20th century. This mathematician is famous for proving the "Indicator Theorem". Maybe you know what the so-called "indicator quantification" is, and what is the use of it...

Zhang Yuan leaned on a cane and sat down on a stool.

Years of worrying, as well as tremendous mental pressure, took away his health, so that he no longer has the ability to fight against the whole world with great ambitions like he did when he was young...

Aging is the enemy that life must face. This is not the first time that Zhang Yuan faces aging, whether he is willing or not, it will always come on time.

March is when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Every cherry blossom tree in the park is covered with flower fairies, big and small. Some have just stood firm, and some have already inserted themselves on the branches. Although it is still bright, it is already weak.

A gust of wind blew, and the petals fell on his palm one after another, and fell to the ground again.

In fact, there is nothing else, Zhang Yuan is waiting for his "comrade-in-arms" here.

Every year in the past today, comrades-in-arms from all corners of the country come to "Atiya Park" to discuss the state of the world today. They discuss how to prevent the flood of "cherry blossoms", how to go to the moon, and how to improve the existing ones. Topics like rockets.

At least, thirty years ago, forty years ago, and fifty years ago... it was like this.

Especially in the period when the rover just landed on the moon, many people with ideals wrote passionately, lashed out at Fang Qiu, and even wanted to re-establish their own ideal country on the moon.

"...Mr. Zhang, we can go to the moon and use physical isolation to build our own country!"

"We no longer need to rely on robots, we can also make our own laws!"

In my ears, I can still recall the ambitions of my youth.

However, fifty-nine years have passed, and this was not possible after all. Aerospace engineering requires too many talents, and they did not beat the time.

These people are gone, gone, gone to nowhere.

Zhang Yuan sat alone on the bench in the park for a long time...waiting, waiting...

At night, it is the time when all kinds of men and women come and go looking for prey. A young girl found Zhang Yuan, who was in a suit and leather shoes, sitting upright, and she couldn't help but want to try it.

"An old man who looks very serious and has a unique charm, what kind of vitality will he burst out in front of a young girl?!"

"It won't be a sudden myocardial infarction or cerebral apoplexy, right? In that kind of thing... going to the Paradise of Elysium seems to be a good idea!"

With this little devil-like mind, she tiptoed and walked over quietly, involuntarily thinking of various strange scenes in her mind.

Better than physical happiness is psychological happiness.

She has never played such an interesting thing before!

However, when she saw Zhang Yuan's face clearly, she shuddered and ran away immediately.

Of course she knows this famous anti-cherry blossom person, and she will never doubt it. When trying to invite, Zhang Yuan will wave his crutches and smash her head--like hammering a crisp watermelon, with a "pop" split.

Even if it ends up being a life for another, it's definitely not worth it for her at such a young age.

"How can anyone object to Sakura? It's inexplicable! Isn't our world... isn't it beautiful?" The girl thought angrily, and left in a hurry.

At twelve o'clock at night, a cleaning robot passed by and found Zhang Yuan who was still waiting in his seat.

The green-eyed girl said: "Sir, due to your health considerations, you should go home... Sitting here will catch cold, and it is not good for your health."

"Can you sit with me for a while?" Zhang Yuan said.

"Okay, no problem. For your health, please wear this hat." The girl took off her hat and helped Zhang Yuan put it on.

In fact, she has no emotions of her own, but maintains the "absolute justice" regulated by human beings as a matter of course.

Zhang Yuan waited until early in the morning, but in the end he still did not wait for a comrade in arms.

Seeing the first ray of sunlight coming out of the eastern sky, it shone warmly on his face.

"Chaoyang is really nice." Zhang Yuan said.

"Yeah, the sun always rises in the east... Such a day can last for another five billion years." The robot girl held her face in one hand and said in a low voice.

Although she is a sweeper, she also has her own intelligence, or the intelligence of the entire Donghai City, which is connected to the same computer through the 5G network.

"Five billion years later, the sun will explode, and human beings will perish."

Zhang Yuan said: "Compared to the huge number of five billion years, a human life, a hundred years, is really too short, so short that it ends without doing anything."

"Five billion years, how long it is, if it keeps going back and forth like this, and it never changes, it's too bad."

After Zhang Yuan finished the last sentence, leaning on a cane, he left tremblingly.

The robot girl bowed her body, showing due respect to an elderly person: "Go ahead."

Zhang Yuan waved his hands behind his back, no one knew his final mood.

...

Zhang Yuan, who was not in good physical condition, survived this winter with difficulty.

Other people's scolding and rejection did not affect the robot system's care for him.

The pension system of the whole society is quite sound. When the physical condition is poor to a certain extent, there will be special robots to take care of his daily life.

In a small room, the robot nurse pushes the wheelchair every day, letting him bask in the bright morning sun.

This robot girl is named "Ling". She has always had a lively and cheerful personality, and she can often chat with him, although she is often blank and can't answer some complicated content.

Zhang Yuan doesn't have many friends, or he doesn't need to make friends here at all.

Since the "cherry blossom" flood, the average life expectancy in this world has been reduced by 2.6 years, and it should continue to decline in the foreseeable future. However, people in this society don't care about current affairs. Such a small life expectancy is nothing to young people. Doesn't smoking and drinking also reduce life expectancy?

"Do you know what words were engraved on that stone tablet for our lunar rover back then?" Zhang Yuan asked Ling behind him.

"That was decades ago, I heard...you have launched a lot of detectors, it is really not easy!"

The girl with green pupils always speaks in such a pleasant way: "Unfortunately, I don't know the specific details, can you tell me?"

Zhang Yuan squinted his eyes and wrapped his cotton coat tightly. He saw a snowflake falling from the sky.

Snowing.

The rare snowy weather in the south.

He smiled, recalling that year, they launched a small carving robot to the moon.

The robot worked so hard to carve a line of small characters in that huge stone tablet.

[Epoch 1009212, June 13th, after a million years, we worked hard and returned to the moon. It is really an exciting day! 】

[However, it is a pity that the world is not as beautiful as imagined, and human civilization is likely to permanently enter the trough of mediocrity...]

[The era is full of great power, and personal strength is just a mantis arm. 】

[A drug called "Sakura" is rapidly spreading in this world. It exploits loopholes in the entire system, and our social system is powerless to stop it. All those who opposed Sakura gathered in Donghai City, but it was difficult to prevent ideological infiltration. 】

[We don't know if restarting the moon landing program at this time will make the whole world better, but it shouldn't make the world worse...]

[There is a high probability that we will not be able to stop the general trend of the entire world. If possible, we want to establish another human kingdom on the moon, but it is very difficult, really difficult...]

[If humans can set foot on this land in person, we will leave a message on the stele again. If not, it means that this is the last moon landing in human history...or maybe not, who knows? 】

[Disasters are always pitiful, like lions on the prairie, reminding sheep grazing blindly...]

Zhang Yuan looked at the distant horizon, telling the story of the past, recalling the little victory in the past, showing a faint smile.

He recalled an old song: "On bright and short nights, when the war is over and the smoke has dissipated, comrades in the same regiment, where are you now? Whenever the sun sets and it is near evening, I wander by the gate and take the Maybe the breeze from here will bring comrades in arms, and send them here to meet me..."

It seems to be spring again, in the spring of March, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, when running on the cherry blossom avenue, a breeze blows, and the petals are fluttering, what a beautiful day...

Ling suddenly found that Zhang Yuan seemed to be asleep in the wheelchair, but this time he was truly and permanently asleep, and there was no possibility of waking up again.

The old man left this world forever...

Except for a few relatives and friends who mourned for it, it did not cause any waves.

The world doesn't need heroes, and humanity won't perish because of it.

It's just that one year, two years, one hundred years, one thousand years, ten thousand years, and one million years later, when one observes the world of cherry blossoms, one will find that human beings are still just the same human beings, without any changes, that's all.

Or, civilization has long since died, without any living cells left. The rest is just a group of bacteria, standing on the corpse of civilization to absorb the last nutrition, that's all...

...

...

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Yuan returned to the small room full of blue light spots, and his brain regained his sobriety, no longer like his old age, where he often lost his mind and was distracted.

He was stunned for a while, and seemed to be a little confused about the situation for a while, but soon couldn't help recalling the so-called "extraordinary" assessment, as well as the former Kunlun Mountain Fleet.

"Time flies so fast, the first reincarnation has come like this..." Zhang Yuan sighed softly.

This kind of mood is very complicated... Tears can't help gushing from the eyes, Zhang Yuan is not a person who likes to cry, but at this moment, he is still mourning for the "Sakura World" he stayed in.

In fact, in the middle and late stages of Sakura World, he has been worrying about his career, and has rarely recalled the past.

There is not much difference between the virtual world and the real world. The virtual world is not a game, and the human beings in it are living human beings with their own emotions and thoughts. Time has passed, and there is no possibility of reloading the file.

All kinds of memories are like a revolving lantern.

For his previous life, although it was very hard and unsatisfactory, Zhang Yuan felt quite satisfied.

The general trend of the times cannot be reversed by one or two people forcibly. From the very beginning, he knew that this matter would be difficult.

As for the final outcome not being changed after working hard, that's another matter.

A voice seemed to come to my ears: "Dear Mr. Zhang Yuan, you can rest here for a while and recall the whole life you have experienced in the world of cherry blossoms. When you are ready, you can start the next reincarnation."

A white light spot, which sent a series of signals in his mind, was the artificial intelligence "Sita" of Pangu's brain.

Zhang Yuan slowly recovered from the pain, he said with a wry smile: "It's really painful, are you sure, the virtual world is to enjoy a good life?"

"You can choose pain or you can choose happiness."

Zhang Yuan nodded, he has a physical body in this small room, sitting on a chair and quietly recalling.

Leaving a familiar world, even if the world is extremely messy, there is still a feeling of nostalgia.

But he really knows that it is very difficult to get out of the quagmire with his own strength in a civilization that has fallen into mediocrity. In other words, unless there is a strong external force to interfere, this "Sakura World" will continue like this.

What a sad thing.

What is the source of sorrow?

Human civilization will not perish, nor will human beings perish because of it.

Nothing to be sad about.

Or maybe, after he returns to the real world, he can try to interfere with the Sakura World. In fact, it only needs a little interference. For example, the robot system has collapsed, and the robot has no way to maintain itself, and a mistake has occurred... …As long as the entire social system collapses, variables will naturally arise.

All in all, we have to pass the Transcendence Examination of Pangu Brain...

Zhang Yuan didn't want to think about such complicated things for the time being, he just fell asleep for a long time to relieve the deep grief.

(The cherry blossom world is over!)
