Chapter 146
May human civilization shine eternally!
Chapter 146 May human civilization shine eternally!
In the 20th year of the Xinyuan era,
Since the great success of stellar lens steelmaking technology seven years ago, the number of human civilization's starships has been soaring at an exaggerated rate!
In the original story, Diaz wanted to deploy massive amounts of nuclear weapons on Mercury, which is now the largest iron ore mining base in human history!
As the planet with the highest iron content in the solar system, its core has an iron-nickel ratio of over 70%!
Furthermore, due to the violent meteorite impact in the early days, the outer rock surface was stripped away, leaving the metal ore directly exposed. In the past, there was no need to dig; you could just pick it up directly!
It can be called the number one resource star!
The solar system is really strange.
For mineral resources, there are metallic planets like Mercury with an iron content exceeding 70%.
The deuterium and tritium resources needed for nuclear fusion can be found on giant gas planets like Saturn and Jupiter.
For water resources, there are icy planets such as Uranus and Neptune, where ice content exceeds 60%.
It can be said that they have everything they want. To use a very apt description, they are like the holy son of a sect in a novel, with no worries about resources, as everything has already been arranged.
The Undying City Spaceport
Three hundred semi-eternal warships were neatly arranged.
The meaning of semi-eternity is that...
As long as it doesn't encounter a meteorite collision or external violent destruction, the ecosystem and resources inside the flagship are enough for the people on board to use for five thousand years!
At a speed of 1.6 percent of the speed of light, five thousand years would be enough to travel 80 light-years, although this distance is negligible in the vastness of space.
However, as long as one doesn't recklessly traverse areas lacking material in the universe, it's entirely possible to reach the next star system for replenishment before resources are exhausted.
Today marks the day the first batch of members of the Wandering Mission set off for the starry sea.
Each flagship carries anywhere from ten to a hundred people, all of whom are a new generation injected with a super gene!
Jiang Fan looked down from his vantage point.
Throughout history, no emperor or general has ever held a higher position than he does now!
Praise for the leader could stretch all the way to France!
Zhang Beihai took Luo Ji's place and stood to his left. Looking around, one could see Da Shi, Ding Yi, Lin Bailan, Yun Tianming, and others.
On the other side were Xiling, Luo Yinxi, Chen Zhou, Hu Yuyao, Zhang Ruoqian, Lin Xi, Ding Mian, and others.
The members of the Far East team, dressed in blue tight-fitting spacesuits, stood tall like pine trees, their aura as powerful as ancient bells!
The man was powerful and imposing, full of vigor.
The woman was heroic and graceful!
In the era of the New Human Alliance, humanity's pursuit of beauty has reached its peak, and dark skin, obesity, ugliness, oily skin, and acne have been eliminated directly at the genetic level!
Their eyes were bright and focused, and they all gazed at the leader and the goddess!
After moving into the central building, Jiang Fan rarely made public appearances. This was partly to reduce his influence and avoid being idolized, and partly because, as a scholar, he needed time to study the Three-Body universe.
Many of the younger generation grew up listening to his stories, but never had the chance to see him in person, only obtaining some film and television materials from the Second World.
Before setting off, the leader will send the wanderers the blessings of their home planet, and you can imagine how excited they are!
Jiang Fan looked at the new generation with loving eyes, a smile playing on his lips like that of an old father.
"Children, I am so glad to see your courage to leave your comfort zones and explore the stars!"
"I am so proud of you!"
A deafening roar erupted from the crowd.
"Leader! Leader! Leader!"
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
Jiang Fan gestured with his hand, a smile deepening in his eyes, and lightly joked.
"It seems that no one wants to see me again in ten thousand years."
A crowd of people with boiling blood:
Jiang Fan didn't care what the children thought, and let out a loud laugh.
"Haha, this is a good thing, it means that our human civilization can continue for tens of thousands of years!"
The younger generation, realizing what was happening, erupted with even stronger emotions, shouting loudly.
"Humanity is eternal! Civilization is eternal! Human civilization will forever prosper!!"
This scene was nothing short of a devastating blow to Shen Zhou. The Trisolaran civilization had never had such a heartfelt sense of cohesion; they only united out of the survival instinct driven by the pressure of survival.
She leaped over Xiling and looked at Jiang Fan, her eyes unconsciously filled with a hint of piety and pilgrimage.
Jiang Fan didn't notice, but Xi Ling did, and she silently noted down Chen Zhou's reaction.
"Children, you are the sun of human civilization. As long as you exist, humanity will exist; as long as you are eternal, civilization will be eternal!"
Only shouting could release the excitement in the hearts of the crowd.
"Leader! Eternity! Humanity! Eternity! Civilization! Eternity!" Jiang Fan hummed in admonition only after the murmurs subsided.
"Children, this is a journey without end, and I have some things I want to say to you face to face."
"The Orion Arm alone contains a hundred million stars, and our solar system is just one insignificant one among them,"
"Therefore, do not rely on empiricism to assume that only human civilization or the Trisolaran civilization exists in the starry sky!"
"Based on the research conducted by the Astronomical Survey Department over the past decade and hundreds of years of astronomical data, I can tell you with certainty that the outside world is extremely dangerous!"
"Not to mention anything far away, the steady-state star K2-18, which is 124 light-years away from us, completely disappeared last year!"
"This means it suddenly disappeared 125 years ago or stopped emitting light,"
"Neither of these scenarios aligns with the natural evolution of stars!"
"Therefore, the Astronomical Department makes a bold inference based on the activity of surrounding stars,"
"A highly advanced alien civilization destroyed this massive celestial body, seventeen times the size of the sun, annihilating the entire K2-18 star system!"
Jiang Fan's voice grew increasingly heavy. He paused for a few seconds to give the younger generation time to process the information before continuing,
"Among you, the FY-Sky, numbered 874, is headed in the direction of the K2-18 galaxy,"
"Hopefully, many years from now, you will be able to unravel this mystery for humanity and actually verify the state of the star."
The children who were about to board the FY-Sky flagship in the audience all showed determined eyes, even if it took ten thousand years of sailing, they would not hesitate!
Jiang Fan's tone suddenly rose, his expression like that of an ancient shaman giving a blessing.
"Children, how can we say we have no clothes? We share the same robes with you!"
"You are the greatest pioneers of mankind!"
"The boundless starry sky is your battlefield!"
"Bearing the noble mission of passing on the torch!"
"Break out of the Orion Screw!"
"Sailing towards the vast Milky Way!"
"Inscribe an immortal legend!"
After one climax comes another!
Everyone present was deeply moved by the leader's blessing!
They cheered and roared, like countless energetic young dragons!
Jiang Fan raised his arms and shouted along with them.
May human civilization shine forever!
At this moment, even the Trisolarans, including Chen Zhou, were moved by the atmosphere!
Unable to resist responding in a low voice,
May human civilization shine forever!
A thousand sails race toward the Milky Way; the Milky Way is my home!
