Earth Era

As time goes by, the planets orbit the sun in circles. From the perspective of the earth, the sun rises and sets day after day. All this seems to be unchanged from the past hundreds or even billions of years ago, but everyone knows that human civilization at this moment is no longer the same as before.

The most critical scientific data brought back by Ye Luo from the Nanmen II Galaxy were like a shot in the arm. After it was injected into the dying human civilization, human civilization immediately burst out with amazing vitality.

Numerous huge and daunting projects such as battlefield cleaning work and post-war reconstruction work were completed in just a few decades. Once again, a large number of commercial spacecraft sailed on the routes between different planets. Jupiter, Large-scale energy collection bases have once again begun to be built on resource planets such as Saturn. The despair was swept away, replaced by vitality as vigorous as the budding grass under the spring sun.

This situation lasted for more than a hundred years. Although strictly speaking, the situation of human civilization has not changed and the deadlock still exists, there is hope after all. And hope is such a magical thing, it can turn decay into magic and make a dying civilization become energetic again.

When the Central Academy of Sciences published the report "New energy sources have passed laboratory tests, and the deadlock is expected to be broken within fifty years" on all major media in the world, the entire human civilization fell into a sea of ​​joy.

Countless people gathered on the Human Square and gathered under the huge statue of the head of Kavis to start a grand celebration. This place has truly become a sea of ​​flowers.

At this moment, no one cares about other people's origins or other people's nationalities. Does it matter whether it was affiliated to the Inner Solar System Alliance or the Outer Solar System Alliance in the past? After all... we are all human beings, and it is in the best interest of all of us to unite and work together, right?

Head of State Kavis, who had been looking at the sun and changing his facing direction as the sun moved, seemed to have a smile on his serious face at this moment.

The deeds of Führer Kavis have long been known to the public. After the war, even those who were previously hostile to Head Kavis were impressed by Head Kavis's broad mind. so. At the voting meeting after the war, the participants unanimously agreed to erect the statue of Head of State Kavis in the center of the People's Square, and to use technical means to keep Head of Kavez facing the direction of the sun, in order to commemorate Kavez. The head of state has made great contributions to human civilization. So far, the statue of Head of State Kavis has been erected here for more than a hundred years.

It can be said that Head of State Kavis truly witnessed the rebirth of human civilization.

The grand celebration lasted until late at night and then gradually came to an end, at this time. The new head of state came to the museum where Ye Luo was stored and specially reported the news to Ye Luo.

"Ye Luo, you see, our human civilization has made major technological breakthroughs in the most critical places. We have theoretically mastered the use of the latest energy, which will be more efficient than nuclear fusion. At the same time, , we have also developed more advanced engines that can be used in spacecrafts. With the cooperation of new energy sources and new engines, we will be able to build vehicles with a mass of up to one million tons, can carry thousands of people, and can reach speeds as high as one second. A super giant spacecraft of 30,000 kilometers. Even with the further development of applied technology, this number will make a huge leap in the foreseeable future... This means that large-scale interstellar navigation is of great significance to our human civilization. It has become possible. Our human civilization has not let you down, nor has it let your captain down."

Calculated at a speed of 30,000 kilometers per second, the round trip from the solar system to the South Gate system will take less than ninety years. Although this time still seems very long, the average lifespan of human civilization is now as high as 230 years. Under this background, it is completely affordable to conduct an interstellar voyage in less than a hundred years.

After all... interstellar navigation is not just a game, it is a comprehensive challenge to all branches of human civilization. The reduction of sailing time from nine hundred years to ninety years means a change from "unfeasible" to "feasible". Its significance is simply too great to be described in words.

"Head of State. Thank you for coming all the way to tell me the news." Ye Luo replied, "For this, I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to you and our human civilization. But I have another question that I would like to ask, which can be used to pick up the captain. When can the spaceship to go home be built, and when can we set off?”

"I just want to fulfill my promise. I just want to take the captain home. Everything else is not important to me." Ye Luo said.

"Please rest assured, this day will not be too far away." The head of state said with a smile, "The spaceship will set off in no more than fifty years, and in a maximum of one hundred and fifty years, you can be here with your captain. The solar system accepts the tribute of all of us humans."

"Okay, thank you." Ye Luo said.

Time is still passing by little by little, and everything in human civilization is developing in a beautiful direction. However, as time went by, people gradually discovered a very embarrassing point, that is, the limitations brought by insufficient population on the development of human civilization.

Development requires a population, whether it is scientific research or engineering manufacturing, or the most basic energy extraction, material transportation, etc., all require a large number of people to support it. However, due to the trauma caused by previous wars and the psychological shadow brought by the "dead knot" on people, the population of human civilization has remained at a low level for a long time, and there is a faint trend of decline. Although Ye Luo's return has changed this situation, in a short time, this situation still cannot be completely changed.

With the encouragement of the government and the dual stimulation of the needs of civilization development, a new wave of baby boom has arrived. In the past ten years, it is expected that more than one billion babies will be born into the world, and the birth rate is still It is constantly improving, but it takes time for babies to grow, for them to receive education, and for them to understand the world. This situation cannot be rushed, and can only be slowly changed by the passage of time.

This kind of waiting is very uncomfortable for impatient people. During this period of time, no one knows how many people, even senior government officials, and even the head of state himself secretly lamented: "If our human civilization has Three hundred billion, no, even just two hundred billion. If we could have a population of two hundred billion, how fast would our human civilization develop... Why should we worry about the lack of manpower all day long... "

Encouraging childbirth has become the consensus of the whole society. Even a mother who gave birth to decuplets at one time was personally received by the head of state and was awarded the title of "Hero Mother", which became a hot news for a while. , I don’t know how many people have attracted the envy. With the support of various incentive policies, countless couples hurried home after a day's work to start making babies. This actually led to a series of depression symptoms in various entertainment and catering industries. For a while, it triggered discussions among many people.

After all... there are so many star systems and planets in this universe waiting for human civilization to explore and occupy. How can it be done if the population is small...

Decades passed by again, and Ye Luo, who had lived in the museum for nearly two hundred years, was ceremoniously invited out on this day, and was personally accompanied by the head of state to the huge dock of the Saturn base. At this moment, hundreds of thousands of experts in various disciplines and a large number of journalists have gathered here at the Saturn base, but none of them are the protagonists today. Today's protagonists are Ye Luo and the head of state, as well as a huge team of eight hundred people.

This team has gathered the best astronauts, scientists, and logistics personnel. In addition, there are also the best hibernation resuscitation experts and doctors from various disciplines. They will board the latest "New Life" today. The spacecraft embarked on the first large-scale interstellar voyage in the history of human civilization. They will sail from the solar system to the South Gate II system. In the process, they will verify many scientific conjectures and collect many scientific data. In addition, they also have the most important mission, That is to take the hero home from the South Gate II System.

"We still remember the despair and suffering we experienced more than two hundred years ago, and we have personally experienced the rebirth and transformation of our human civilization over the past two hundred years... Once upon a time, our human civilization was only one step away from extinction. Once upon a time, we could only helplessly look at the stars in the sky. They seemed to be very close to us, but the fact is that the distance was enough that we could not cross it in our lifetime. But it is different now... We have built the Xinsheng spacecraft We have been able to carry out large-scale interstellar voyages, so please tell me, who saved our human civilization from the abyss of despair, and who gave our human civilization a new life?"

After the head of state asked this question, the crowd below immediately burst into deafening cheers: "Wei Feng, Wei Feng!"

"Okay!" The head of state waved his hand vigorously, "Then let's set off now to take our heroes home! Go home!" (To be continued ~^~)

PS: I would like to ask you one thing... that is, if you can subscribe without using gift coins... it is best not to use gift coins. As we all know, although the book Rainbow has a good reputation, its subscription performance has been dismal, and This kind of niche science fiction novel has no other channels besides relying on electronic remuneration, but the existence of gift coins makes this problem even worse... The coin gift policy has always been criticized, because the use of gift coins If you subscribe...the author will not receive a penny. But as an ordinary author, Caihong has nothing to do about this. He can only ask everyone. If possible, don’t use the gift coins. Please, please.
