Interstellar Immortality: Live long enough to dominate the universe

2037 AD.

Yan Xia looked at the scene behind the spacecraft through the glass. A planet had hideous cracks on its surface. Endless lava spread along the cracks in the crust, swallowing up the ocean and land. The water was evaporated by the high temperature, forming a huge fog that wrapped around the surface of the planet.

Then a ray of light burst out from the inside of the planet, and the entire planet began to shatter in the silent space, as fragile as a glass ball.

He was in a heavy mood, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Because it was his home, and the home of all mankind, the Earth, that was destroyed.

One hour ago.

The place where humans depend on for survival was directly hit by super-strong gamma rays caused by a supernova explosion.

Under the impact of a huge amount of energy, the Earth's atmosphere was instantly destroyed, and countless lives died and wailed. The gamma-ray burst changed the magnetic field of all planets in the solar system, including the sun.

The entire solar system became chaotic, and the Earth's orbit was pulled toward the sun, and it was torn to pieces under the huge gravitational force.

Today is April 27th.

This was a grand fireworks display, which seemed to announce the day of human extinction.

Yan Xia was a little breathless.

He was not a top human being, nor a doctor of science, but just a social animal in a new-age AI company.

Their AI company cooperated with a famous rocket company on Earth to design a giant liquid-fuel rocket with a carrying capacity of more than 420 tons, close to the physical limit.

Before that, he had just been conducting the last round of AI debugging on the rocket.

Because this rocket was equipped with their company's most advanced AI host, it could achieve digital computing capabilities close to the quantum computing speed of the lowest-end quantum computer.

As a core engineer, he had to ensure the stability of the computer software.

And at this time, the end of the world came.

There was not even any sign, because human observation methods could not exceed the speed of light.

And the gamma-ray burst was a beam of light!

When the gamma-ray burst hit the earth, all electronic equipment failed, and the rocket was mistakenly ignited, causing Yan Xia, who was still inside the rocket, to fly out of the earth and escape.

"Then am I the only human being who survived?"

Sitting in the small cabin, Yan Xia gasped for air.

He had not undergone professional training, and the acceleration brought by the rocket caused some problems in his body.

At this time, the whole cabin was lit up, and it seemed that he had safely survived the gamma-ray burst.

"I hope the electronic equipment is fine."

When the gamma rays came, Yan Xia urgently turned off the power, not knowing whether he could save some of it.

He pressed a red start button.

Everywhere lit up, including the core display screen, which made him relieved.

He looked at the course display on the monitor, and the destination was Mars.

This spacecraft was originally built for manned landing on Mars.

"Hi, Ella."

A response sounded in the silent cabin.

"How can I help you?"

The AI ​​can still work, which made Yan Xia a little excited.

As the most advanced artificial intelligence of mankind today, Ella has extremely powerful computing power and information reserves, which can be said to be an encyclopedia.

"Calculate, will anyone on Earth survive?"

Yan Xia still had some hope that he was not alone.

"Unfortunately, Ella has calculated that, except for you, the probability of life on Earth surviving is 0.0000000000272%."

"And even if there is life surviving now, you have no ability to save it."

The voice was extremely cold, making Yan Xia even more uncomfortable.

"What about the space station?"

Originally, there must be astronauts in the space station in the Earth's low-Earth orbit.

"Ella is sending a signal..."

"No response!"

"No satellites have been detected outside the shattered Earth."

"It is predicted that the electronic failure caused by gamma rays passing through the Earth will cause all satellites and space stations close to the Earth to fall to the ground."

There is no hope.

He is the only one who survived.

Yan Xia was stunned for a long time, thinking about his friends and family on Earth, and his eyes gradually faded.

More than an hour later.

He pursed his dry lips and said weakly: "Ella, analyze the possibility of habitable Mars."

Now he has nowhere to go.

Mars, the ideal colony for mankind, may become his second home.

However, Ella pierced his idea with a ruthless reply.

"According to data analysis, the moon will hit the earth in 28 years, and the earth will be more broken and fall towards the sun at an accelerated speed."

"When the earth's fragments fall to the surface of the sun, it will trigger a super solar storm."

"This solar storm will sweep the entire solar system's heliosphere, and the magnetic storm brought by the sunspot explosion will once again destroy electronic equipment."

"In the face of a super solar storm, the surface temperature of Mars will rise to more than 500 degrees Celsius in a short period of time. At that time, the chaotic magnetic field and gravity system may pull Mars towards the sun, repeating the fate of the earth."

"The solar system will usher in an unprecedented reshuffle."

Ella integrates the most advanced and comprehensive knowledge of mankind, and its analysis has even been cited in the military field before.

Yan Xia had to consider a new plan.

If the entire solar system cannot be accommodated next.

Then we can only consider the outside of the solar system.

Then...

Proxima?

"Generate a set of routes to Proxima."

Proxima b is called the twin brother of the earth, and may be a habitable planet with life.

"The route has been generated."

"The current spacecraft speed is 20.3km/s, the range is 4.22 light years, and it is estimated that it will take 62,365 years to reach Proxima."

More than 60,000 years?

Yan Xia was stunned.

As far as he knew, Proxima was already the closest star system to their solar system, but he didn't expect it to take so long.

Originally, the speed of this spacecraft should have been 13km/s, because the shock wave of the earth's tearing increased the speed to a level, but it was still too slow for the entire universe.

By then, I'm afraid he might not even be able to leave his ashes.

"How much time can be shortened by planning an optimal route?"

This kind of thing can't be calculated by one person, so let's ask AI.

"We can perform two gravity accelerations at Jupiter and Neptune, reaching a speed of 35.4km/s, and the estimated flight time is shortened to 35,764 years."

It seems that it has only been 10,000 years since the Neolithic Age.

Yan Xia felt that it was useless to survive and could only wait to die.

At this time, Ella continued: "Since humans do not have such a long lifespan, it is recommended to use metal to transform the spacecraft after it reaches the asteroid belt."

Yan Xia asked: "What plan do you have?"

"Ella is generating a plan, and the plan generation is finished..."
