Planet Builder

The Dyson sphere project has been fully launched, and every day, a large number of solar sails are sent to the vicinity of the sun to absorb the heat energy emitted by the star.

Millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of solar sails seem insignificant at first.

But the energy they obtain is actually stored in the stellar energy hub.

On the other hand, the Academy of Military Sciences is also designing Blue Star Civilization's own Star Destroyer through research on the Tianhe.

The semi-remainder of the Tianhe should not be wasted. He Xingzhou pulled the Tianhe to Mars and asked Xie Wu to repair it at the Mars battleship factory.

In this way, they can have a Star Destroyer as quickly as possible.

...

The days of construction and scientific research have gone by so fast, and before you know it, fifteen years have passed.

In the outer space of Mercury, in a space base, He Xingzhou and everyone were looking at a black three-legged crow.

Its name is Golden Crow, which is the same name as the fleet that once was human, but this Golden Crow is not a battleship, but an artificial silicon-based life!

The body of Jinwu is this huge space base, which is loaded with a large number of quantum computing modules, allowing it to control countless solar sails and calculate the most suitable flight orbit of the solar sail.

"Golden Crow!" He Mengyao called softly, she is one of the main designers of the Golden Crow, and the life template of the Golden Crow has the template of the silicon-based Zerg.

Jin Wu slowly opened his eyes, crawls in front of everyone, and said, "Every creators, thank you for giving me life."

Although it is a silicon-based life, He Xingzhou still added absolute obedience to its intelligent system, as well as safety control instructions, guaranteeing Wu's loyalty to human beings.

"Jinwu, congratulations on your birth." He Xingzhou said, "From today, you are the manager of Dyson Cloud, and the greatest project in the history of Blue Star Civilization is handed over to you! You have to make sure that there is no problem with Dyson Cloud."

Jinwu has just been born with self-consciousness, and it is not emotionally strong, but its thinking is very clear, "I understand, this will be my lifelong pursuit and mission!"

Judging from the dialogue and the current contact alone, Jinwu does not appear to be different from other intelligent robots.

But its most powerful ability is not here, but thinking and evolution!

Its capabilities can be continuously improved. He Xingzhou believes that in the future, Jinwu will have the opportunity to become a more powerful silicon-based life and become a powerful help for mankind.

Everyone was celebrating, and He Mengyao was overjoyed and said, "The Golden Crow was created by us. In the eyes of primitive civilization, are we the so-called gods?"

"Of course!" He Xingzhou said, "Creating life and leaping across the universe, what we are doing now is equivalent to what the gods in ancient mythology did!"

"Master, I also want to be a real life!" Lumi's image appeared in front of He Xingzhou. She opened her eyes wide and looked at He Xingzhou expectantly.

Lumi's intelligence is also improving, and it is now very close to silicon-based life.

He Xingzhou smiled and said, "When you're done with this, upgrade your system."

"Thank you, Master!" Lumi showed a happy smile and said, "Master, Lumi himself will do his best!"

She is also learning Jinwu's procedural templates to expand her abilities.

"Mengyao, I'll leave it to you here. I'm going to Mars." He Xingzhou said, "I have to work on the Star Destroyer next."

"Mmmm." He Mengyao nodded, "Brother, don't worry, Dyson Cloud will be finished on time!"

He Xingzhou stayed in Mercury for a few more weeks, arranging work and tasks. He had planned to go to Mars immediately, but an unexpected event interrupted his plan.

"Son, we plan to go to sleep in a month." This is the message He Qihang sent him.

Seeing the information, He Xingzhou sank in his heart and asked, "Is the time up?"

What He Qihang meant by deep sleep was death!

Under the current law, the residents of the Blue Star Alliance can freely choose the time of their own death. It is unrealistic to want to live forever, but they can choose to end their lives in advance before the end of their lives.

People who make this choice are not because they don't love life, but because before the end of life, the body's function has dropped significantly, and various diseases will appear.

At this time, even the most advanced medical technology is useless, because this is the end of life, and the tissues and organs begin to strike.

He Xingzhou's parents have not undergone genetic modification, and they are now over 150 years old. This age is already a birthday star in their generation.

He Xingzhou immediately went to Blue Star, He Mengyao also hurriedly asked for leave to go home, Xu Zhilan also withdrew from the Civilization Arena in the virtual universe, and Jiang Chan, who was on Mars, also arrived.

In He Xingzhou's home, the two elders were lying in the life capsule. They had gray hair, and their bodies were too old to speak and breathe on their own.

Seeing this scene, He Mengyao couldn't help her eyes turning red and shouted, "Dad, Mom!"

He Xingzhou was in a heavy heart, because he had seen countless partings of life and death, but before his close relative was about to pass away, he still couldn't let it go.

"Enter the virtual world." He Xingzhou's consciousness connected to the virtual world.

In the real world, the second old man is dying. But in the virtual world, the two of them were both boys and girls, laughing.

This is what they looked like when they were young. Through virtual world technology, they experienced the feeling of youth again.

"Dad, Mom!" He Mengyao rushed towards Jiang Manrong with tears in his eyes, and said, "Mom, don't you go, okay? We have developed silicon-based life, which can transform your consciousness into code!"

Jiang Manrong stroked her head lightly and smiled: "Silly child, we didn't say that it would not become a virtual life."

Both she and He Qihang believe that such a virtual life is not themselves, but an artificial intelligence with their memories.

And some people think that as long as the memory is the same and the thinking pattern is the same, even if the life form is changed, the body remains unchanged.

People debate this issue endlessly. He Xingzhou personally believes that as long as his memory and thinking do not change, even if he becomes a robot, he is still himself.

But his parents didn't see it that way. They thought that such "I" was not "I", and He Xingzhou's repeated persuasion was useless.

"Okay, okay, aren't we still fine now?" He Qihang comforted.

He Xingzhou was about to speak, He Qihang said first: "You still want to persuade us? No need to persuade! We have already thought about it."

"For more than 100 years, we have experienced ups and downs! We should have left this world long ago. It is the development of science and technology that has allowed us to live in a new era. In this life, what we have seen, seen, and done are all What ordinary people can't match, we are satisfied."

"We've had our funeral arrangements over the past few months. For the last month, we can still experience life in a virtual world, and when our consciousness declines, we will end ourselves."

"I..." He Xingzhou felt helpless.

Jiang Manrong took his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be sad. We are happy to leave at this time. You still have a long way to go in the future, and you will encounter more dangers. My dad and I are not tossing around. get up."

"It just so happens that our family hasn't got together for a long time, so let's get together today!" He Qihang said.

"Not only today!" He Xingzhou said, "I will also take a month off."

"Me too!" He Mengyao said quickly.

Xu Zhilan and Jiang Chan also quit work and accompany them together.

For a month, everyone accompanied Er Lao to chat, play and relax in the virtual world.

At the end of a month, the time of the two old people is coming to an end.

At this time, their consciousness is already very weak, and they can't even stay awake in the virtual world, and they spend most of the time indulging.

In the virtual world, a farewell party is being held.

He Xingzhou did not make a statement, but there were still many old friends and friends of parents who came.

In the hall, He Qihang said with emotion: "I really didn't expect to be able to participate in my own mourning in this life."

"It's a farewell party!" Jiang Manrong corrected, "Everyone came to see us off!"

"Yes, it's a farewell!" He Qihang looked at the hall.

Under the stage, many important people have come.

There are dozens of Blue Star Alliance commanders alone, as well as friends they have known for over a hundred years.

They sent farewell messages to He Qihang and Jiang Manrong, shook hands with them, hugged and said goodbye.

This is a special "burial" that has appeared in the new era, because medical technology can accurately predict the time of one's own death, and the virtual world can allow people to maintain their last situation and "activity".

It has become a new custom to hold your own funeral.

He Qihang took the stage and said: "Everyone, my life with Manrong is about to come to an end today. I hope everyone will not be sad, our life is exciting enough..."

"People in each era have a mission in each era. Today, I can proudly say that we have completed our mission!"

"Next, it's up to you!"

Under the stage, everyone applauded, He Xingzhou had tears in his eyes, He Mengyao's eyes were red, and Xu Zhilan and Jiang Chan also wiped away their tears.

On the stage, the figures of the two elders gradually disappeared. This is because their consciousness completely dissipated and they left this world!

Everyone stood up and mourned collectively.

At the scene, many people cried, and He Xingzhou stood there in a daze. At this moment, he suddenly felt a trance.

Countless dusty memories flooded into my heart, my parents when I was a child, when I was a teenager, when I grew up, the era of cataclysm, the new era...

"Starship."

"Brother Zhou!" Xu Zhilan and Jiang Chan supported him.

"Commander-in-chief, condolences, pay attention to your body." The commanders came over and said with concern.

He Xingzhou took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Thank you, everyone."

He Xingzhou left the virtual world and arranged a funeral for the second old man in the real world.

According to their orders, their remains were cremated and buried in their hometown with evergreen trees planted on them.

He Xingzhou was silent for a week, finishing everything.

"Mengyao, it's time for us to go." He Xingzhou has packed up his mood and is ready to set off again.

"Brother!" He Mengyao looked at him and said, "Brother, in the future, you will be the only one in front of me!"

"Don't worry!" He Xingzhou's heart was already extremely strong, and he firmly said: "I have the road ahead!"

...

He Xingzhou came to Mars, and the repair of Tianhe has been completed.

Its performance has been improved by a few percent compared to before, and its defense and weapons have been modified.

Now its performance is no less than the previous Sirius.

Humanity has the first Star Destroyer!

Not only that, because they have cracked the Star Destroyer thruster technology, they are making the first Star Destroyer in the true sense of mankind - the Purgatory Battleship.

"This is the drawing of the Mars." In the Mars battleship factory, Xie Wu showed He Xingzhou the design structure of the purgatory battleship.

In front of him is a three-dimensional image of a purgatory battleship.

In terms of overall structure, the purgatory battleship is a disc-shaped battleship, and in the middle is a purgatory ray main gun.

It does not fly horizontally like a flying saucer, but flies vertically and horizontally, so that the purgatory rays in the main gun can better hit the target.

This design still refers to the plasma magic eye of the Lord of Magic Eyes.

"The main gun of Mars is the plasma main gun, and the secondary gun is the proton gun." Xie Wu said, "This is our preliminary design plan."

"In addition, we will also design star destroyers with proton weapons, resonance weapons, kinetic energy weapons, etc. as the main guns, named after the planets, as the mothership of the planetary fleet."

"Are the resources enough?" He Xingzhou asked.

"Not enough!" Xie Wu shook his head directly and said, "Our large amount of resources were first used to build Super Starlink, and now we are building Dyson Cloud. Although you have obtained a lot of resources from the Order Alliance, it is still insufficient to allocate to the manufacture of warships."

"From the proven minerals on Mercury, Venus, Blue Star, and Mars, we can only build two Star Destroyers for these resources."

"In addition to the Tianhe that has been repaired, there are only three."

"It's far from enough." He Xingzhou said, three Star Destroyers, in the past, maybe everyone thought it was very strong!

But after seeing the destructive power of Planet Devourer, they found that the three Star Destroyers were not enough to see in front of Planet Devourer!

"Whether it's to make Dyson Cloud or to make a new Star Destroyer, one more planet must be won!" He Xingzhou said.

Among the eight planets in the solar system, the bottom four in terms of quality have all been controlled by the Blue Star Alliance.

The four planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are still under the control of the Zerg.

There are Planet Devourers on them. Who is going to attack next? This is a very troublesome thing.

Planet Devourers from different planets will also help each other, and no matter who they attack, they will affect their whole body.

He Xingzhou must think clearly about this issue.

He consciously connected to the headquarters, asked questions to everyone, and brainstormed.

"Jupiter and Saturn are too massive, there are many planetary devourers, and the degree of evolution is good, so they should be ruled out directly!" Song Jinghong said.

"Then there are only Uranus and Neptune left!" Cui Weimin analyzed, "Uranus orbit is between Saturn orbit and Neptune orbit. If we attack Uranus, we may be attacked by the enemy."

"If you attack Neptune, the Uranus Zerg is very likely to be dispatched. Last time they worked together..."
