Deep Space Fleet

In the blink of an eye, it has been the sixtieth year since I came to this world...

Zhang Yuan sat in a comfortable seat, enjoying the wonderful sunshine. The hundreds of old people in front of him were the captain, first mate, second mate, and some sailors on the final voyage.

The house was full of guests and friends, toasting to each other and chatting happily. It's always a joy to spend time with old friends.

People were at the wine table, remembering and recalling the difficulties encountered in the final voyage. Many sailors suffered from depression during such a long voyage; some even wanted to seize control of the ship and go back halfway.

But these difficulties were all defeated by the Sunshine Continent that I finally saw...

Now that I miss the past, Zhang Yuan can still recall the high-pitched screams when he discovered the New World.

Man is such a creature!

"Why didn't Dolef come?" Zhang Yuan asked one of the old men.

"That guy died in a woman's belly because of his intemperance! He doesn't pay attention to maintenance at such an age."

"what a pity……"

"Where's Asoff?"

"I'm old and dead, after all, I'm over seventy years old."

Zhang Yuan shook his head, didn't care so much, raised his glass, "Then, old fellows, cheers!"

"cheers!"

Hundreds of people loudly celebrated the final victory of the great voyage. Such a celebration ceremony will be held every five years, and the venue of the banquet is, of course, in Zhang Yuan's Duke's Mansion.

Looking up at the sky, the rising sun in the distance hangs on the horizon and will never set.

Yes, in this land, the rising sun hangs in the sky, not the setting sun.

The sunshine continent that countless people yearn for is here!

...

This is the Hoffman Continent, a continent named after him!

Since this legendary fleet brought the information of the New World back to the old road more than 30 years ago, a gold rush has emerged in this sunny land. Countless common people and wealthy nobles took huge risks and traveled across half of the planet to come to this huge land to open up wasteland.

Due to the imperfect system at the beginning, this area was completely in a state of chaos, full of violence, blood and crime.

The changes of the times are turbulent, and the course of history is advancing by leaps and bounds. Almost all of Zhang Yuan's energy is devoted to this new continent.

Thirty years have passed...

The gold rush is still going on, and the crime rate in "New Kalunborg", the largest city in the Hoffman Continent, has gradually decreased and it has become a very livable city.

Most of the old crew members have done well in these years. After all, the New World is full of waste, and there are many opportunities, such as planting, breeding, steel, coal, chemicals, electricity, and the newly discovered oil industry. Fallen, survival is definitely not a problem.

And Zhang Yuan, the famous "Duke," will also take care of these old acquaintances to a certain extent.

Of course, there are also some people who have gained a lot of wealth and honor at once, but get lost in it and can't control their desires.

If morality is not compatible, one will suffer. Such a person has more knowledge, and Zhang Yuan will not take care of them too much.

A group of people chatted about the past while drinking, and they always like to recall the past when they are older. Including that so-and-so died in the belly of a woman, so-and-so's son took drugs, gambled, and lost all his family property, etc. So-and-so is already a successful businessman.

Time flies, life is impermanent, the old buddy from back then has passed away more than half, it is really embarrassing! A person's fate is destined to a certain extent by the heavens, but a large part is also in his own hands. For a guy who can't even control the fate in his own hands, what can others do?

After the banquet, a young deacon whispered from behind: "Your Excellency, the Queen's fleet is about to arrive at the port."

"Let's go, let's go!" Zhang Yuan greeted.

A group of old people hurriedly boarded a car and drove on the wide road. When all the residents in the city saw this car of old people, they all cast admiring eyes and cheered loudly.

On the square not far away, there is an obelisk-like building, knocking "dangdangdang". Because the sun in this area is always hanging in the sky, people's concept of time is easily confused. This Big Ben is the standard time in the city, which stipulates people's work and rest time, and even the standard time of the entire continent. .

Workers go to work and students go to school, all determined by the standard time of Big Ben.

A huge 10,000-ton ship is parked at the port. After three months of sailing, the passengers on the ship have long been impatient, and even feel a little disgusted when they see the sea.

This is still the time required for the route to be greatly improved. At the beginning of the pioneering era, there were no lighthouses on the small islands, and the water depth of the surrounding seas was not thoroughly ascertained. It would even take six or even seven months!

The vast majority of those who went ashore were young people who came from the old road. A boat ticket may be their life savings, so they may not return to their hometown for decades.

There are more opportunities to earn a living here. When they saw the New World, their nostalgia for home was swept away, and they couldn't help cheering.

"It's finally here, New World, New World!"

Even the babbling children are cheering with the adults. The children all came here with their parents, and there is no so-called homeland emotion.

The young queen standing at the front tried to step on the solid ground under her feet, and then looked at the rising sun hanging in the sky, suddenly felt an unreal sense of wonder.

"...I don't know what kind of surprise your Excellency the Duke, when you suddenly encountered this land in the vast sea!"

"It's been a long trip."

In Boulder, the sun is never seen; here, in New Kalundborg, it is eternal day, no need for gas lamps, no lights of any kind. In the farther area, there are lush green crops, and the sufficient light here can support more people and livestock.

Zhang Yuan bent down, stroked his chest with his right hand, saluted the young queen, and kissed the queen's hand.

Facing a living legend, the girl was a little uneasy.

After the queen is dead, someone can succeed her, but there will always be only one such legend in the world. After two failures and two bankruptcy, the man who stood up again and went on a third more difficult exploration is a real living legend.

A thousand or ten thousand years later, no one will remember the queen's name, but someone will definitely remember the name of this legendary figure.

If he died, the whole world would mourn.

The young queen strolled around this new city, saw many novelties, and soon fell in love with this so-called "New World".

She recalled that in Boulder City, there were still some old stubborn people who despised the "upstarts" in the New World, unwilling to cross the ocean, and unwilling to open up new territories.

There are such stubborn people in every era, they are unwilling to change, and they don't like new things. But every smart person knows that the real opportunity in the future lies in this huge new continent.

Looking at Zhang Yuan's old face, the girl smiled, and asked secretly: "Duke Hoffman, how did you want to discover this continent? Your three expeditions are not only the epic of the whole world, It's your personal epic. Can I hear your story?"

Zhang Yuan recalled the difficulties he had experienced in the past, and said with a smile: "This is another, very, very long story..."

"A good ending will make everyone like it, won't it?"

...

In the second reincarnation, Zhang Yuan not only discovered the New World, but also single-handedly promoted the technological revolution.

This new city is more orderly than the previous city. The underground drainage system at the beginning, including wider roads in the city, and various livelihood projects, consumed a lot of money, but in the following life, everyone clearly felt the convenience.

Zhang Yuan is also trying to promote the development of the social system. This new city collects higher taxes on capitalists, but most of the taxes are used for urban infrastructure construction. These infrastructure projects have fed a large number of civilians.

In fact, for the people of this era, it is enough to be able to eat enough, and they don't ask too much for other things.

The first priority of human beings is survival. Only by solving the problem of survival can we have time to consider other things, including education and entertainment.

On the other hand, he also founded universities, middle schools, and primary schools, trying to implement a five-year compulsory education system for primary schools throughout the city. Only with more high-quality workers can we better advance the times.

Human beings in this era always have certain limitations. They would rather let their children do child labor than let them waste time going to school. But human nature is always profit-seeking. As long as they see that children only study in school for five years, their ability to make money is far more efficient than illiterates, then the compulsory education system can be implemented more and more smoothly. go down.

And through education, the concept of class change has gradually been imprinted in people's hearts and has become a universal value.

When he passed away, almost everyone in the city lined up to see him off spontaneously.

No one is immortal, and being able to survive here for seventy or eighty years is considered a long life.

...

In fact, the wish in Zhang Yuan's heart is still not fully realized. This world is still a capitalist society with a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and the upper class exploits the lower class seriously.

Even he himself had to become a big capitalist for the three expeditions.

Compared with a person's short life, there is too little that can be changed.

However, he himself is very satisfied with the results he made, and thanked the world for its kindness to him and to mankind.

The total inhabitable area of ​​this new continent is more than four times that of those small islands combined! Moreover, there is sunshine here, plants can be grown, and more people can be fed... Even near a certain bay, oil was discovered!

In this way, the world has more variables.

Next, how will it evolve? Will there be a "Marx" of the new era to describe the essence of capital, will there be a "Washington" to overthrow slavery, will the conflict between the New World and the Old World deepen, and will it explode? Wars can only be resolved by the native humans themselves.

He can't handle it anymore.

There will always be more thinkers and revolutionaries born in the world to promote the development of this world...

However, no matter how many heroes appear, Zhang Yuan's historical status in this world will not change in any way.

"Bye now!"

The second reincarnation is over.

...

Zhang Yuan returned to that light blue space again.

"It seems that you are very satisfied with this trip?"

He saw that white viewpoint again, the artificial intelligence "Sita".

"Yeah, it should make me more satisfied than the previous Sakura World..." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

This time, I don't have much regret.

"Humans always like to be rewarded after giving. Even if it's just a psychological reward. If there is no reward, the motivation to give will undoubtedly be weakened a lot."

"Why did you pay? Expeditions in the ocean are very hard. You must know that you are not immortal, you will suffer from disease, and you will die if you encounter a storm. Even if you don't really die, There will also be pain.”

Zhang Yuan said: "I just like to see progress, I don't like to see regression... Standing still is also uncomfortable."

In this space, all memories will become very clear.

Zhang Yuan wrote a memoir about what he saw and heard in this world, analyzing the gains and losses in it, including whether he could do better in certain details, and what might happen in this world. Future deduction...

In the lightless world, the distance between the old road and the new continent is too far away. From the perspective of background, the New World is definitely not as good as the old road, which also causes the old aristocrats to faintly despise the newly born aristocrats, just like the British despised the Americans back then.

We are still able to cooperate now because the cake has not been divided up, and the New World still needs the financial support of the old road. But maybe in the future, no one likes to be exploited for a long time, and the struggle surrounding this new continent may last for a long, long time...

Zhang Yuan sighed, history is always full of twists and turns, and it cannot be smooth sailing.

Regarding history, there used to be four views on the earth: the theory of regression, the theory of progress, the theory of cycle and the theory of spiral rise.

Some religions believe that history is regressive. For example, the first ancestors of mankind, Adam and Eve, were driven out of the paradise-like Garden of Eden because they ate the fruit of wisdom. The descendants of Adam and Eve were born with original sin, were born to suffer, and continued to commit new sins. In the end, God came to the world again to judge the sinners in the last day and so on.

These religions believe that the primitive age with saints is the best.

Since Darwin published "The Origin of Species", he put forward the theory of evolution. British Spencer introduced the theory of evolution into the field of social history, and put forward the "theory of social evolution", arguing that society is constantly advancing. After that, the theory of historical progress gradually became mainstream.

The third point of view is the theory of cycles. History is a continuous cycle of separation and reunion, which never ends. History has ups and downs along the time axis, but it will not always improve and get better, nor will it always regress and get worse, but the good and the bad will continue to reincarnate.

There is a fourth view, that history is an upward spiral. From a local short-term perspective, there are good times and bad times, and even worse and worse, retreating from the peaceful world to the chaotic world; but from the perspective of big history, it is getting better and better. The ups and downs in a certain period of time are uncertain, and the decline in a certain stage does not stop, which does not affect its overall rise.

Zhang Yuan sighed, there are no absolutes, history is always complicated, and it is difficult to truly objectively summarize the simple rise or fall.

Immediately afterwards, he started his third reincarnation.

...

In the third reincarnation, he was reborn in a technologically advanced world, just like the previous earth civilization. Human beings have occupied the entire solar system, but they no longer have the motivation to explore outside, and have fallen into class solidification.

All reincarnations have a very good birth, and Zhang Yuan was born again in an upper class.

During this reincarnation, he spent his entire life building a spaceship and flying his body to a distant place where no aliens could exist.

The fourth reincarnation, reincarnated in a world where the red regime has collapsed, human civilization has lost its direction...

This time it was even more difficult. Zhang Yuan deeply felt the malice of the Pangu brain artificial intelligence "Sita"...

The fifth reincarnation, the entrenched dictatorship ruled the whole world...

There is no light at all, and it is easy to be imprisoned in a concentration camp if you are not careful...

After five reincarnations, Zhang Yuan was judged by "Sita" to have passed the assessment, and he was kicked out of the virtual world in advance.
