Deep Space Fleet

The predictive power of the new historiography of civilizations...

Zhang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, he quickly understood what Senior Brother Zhao meant, and even felt a faint sense of fear of being manipulated.

After a long time, he sighed sadly: "So, the highest leader must absolutely obey calculations, and not have too much selfishness, right?"

"Selfishness? There's no need to worry too much about that kind of thing." Brother Zhao smiled: "You have to know, there are often more than one person who can count, and there are some differences between them, but the overall goal is still the same."

"On the spaceship Earth Times, the hidden power of our entire new civilization school is actually very powerful. There are many silent forces that did not make a sound at the conference, because there is no such need... Our goal is not one It can be achieved in two years, but in thousands of years!"

Zhang Yuan stopped talking and just focused on the maintenance work in hand.

It took about three hours before he finished the whole work. After picking up the tools, he felt a little tired.

"A total of 3 minor problems were found and have been resolved."

"I'm fine here, it's not a big problem."

Brother Zhao suddenly suggested: "Let's go out and see the stars over there."

"The jet outlet of the nuclear engine?" Zhang Yuan licked his lips. He had heard about this very exciting and visual observation site for a long time.

"Just treat it as an overhaul, and it should be fine."

"Okay!" Zhang Yuan readily agreed.

The two cautiously entered a large circular pipe and walked straight forward for a distance of more than 300 meters. Ahead is the ion ejection outlet of the nuclear engine, and a small amount of traces of metal being burned can be seen with the naked eye.

At the front, you can see a bright, pure starry sky.

Zhang Yuan tied the rope that came with his space suit to the nearest safety bolt, and squatted quietly at the jet port. The diameter of this exit exceeds five meters, but it is only one of the more than ten engines of the Earth Age, which shows the size and stalwart of the entire spaceship.

However, such a huge spacecraft is just a drop in the ocean. It was moving at seven thousandths of the speed of light. In the vast universe, it was no different from a snail crawling, without any feeling of movement at all.

Sitting next to him, Senior Brother Zhao was also silently in a daze, without saying anything.

The starry sky here is purer than that at the observatory, without any obstruction.

Stars one after another are dotted on the dark curtain, like sacred and solemn mathematical structures.

Sighing lightly, looking into the distance, his heart sank. .

At this moment, Zhang Yuan seemed to have an epiphany, that everything is in constant motion, from atoms to stars, from individuals to civilizations, these never-ending movements are governed by the laws of nature, There are never any exceptions.

Only the laws governing motion are static and eternal.

Zhang Yuan suddenly felt a sense of eagerness to jump out of the jet, to embrace this ancient eternity.

There was a "click" sound from the earphones, and it was Brother Zhao who turned on the light on the spacesuit, bringing him back to reality.

"Old Zhang, our teacher, Academician Ding, probably won't see the sun of the future."

"Why?" Zhang Yuan suddenly became nervous.

Brother Zhao seemed to understand his doubts, shook his head, and said, "You know, the old captain's physical condition is not good, and the medical examination is not very good... He doesn't want to forcefully extend his life through hibernation , so after waking up this time, he won't hibernate again."

"The next successor to the captain is Professor Lin Fangzheng of the Scientific Council, who is also the proposer of the social public support system. You should have contacted it?"

Zhang Yuan nodded, he was a very gentle and knowledgeable middle-aged man.

"The next one should be Academician Ding. In fact, there are not so many candidates for the captain. They must have a technical background and some management skills."

"Then it's our generation...the voyage in the future is still two thousand years away!"

The stars were shining brightly, and Zhang Yuan understood what Brother Zhao meant.

Humans are fragile creatures, and there will always be someone who withers in this sea of ​​stars...

He stayed silent for a while.

It is strange that a thousand years have passed in such a muddle, as if nothing has changed.

Looking at this starry sky, he even had a strange illusion.

The era is still their original era. He just bid farewell to Han Ziyue and promised to remember her existence in the future...

The turbulence problem has just been solved in the form of differentiable networks.

Just now I am still receiving congratulations from my colleagues.

Just arrived on Europa...

All of a sudden, everything is over. Even earth civilization has stepped into the trap of mediocrity.

It was as if he had traveled through time.

However, time still brought many changes. The small gift Han Ziyue gave him, the lily specimen, had gradually withered, and even the sketch on it was somewhat blurred.

Many people, including the old captain, are still aging inevitably, and the spaceship is also inevitably depreciated.

If you touch the surface of the spacecraft with your fingers, you will find that the original smooth surface has become quite rough, as if it has been polished with sandpaper.

Although the universe is empty, there are also a small number of particles. It is these small amount of particles that, after a thousand years of years of blows, have made the appearance of the spaceship what it is now.

Brother Zhao smiled: "Okay, don't be sad, the cycle of life is the truth of the universe. Death is the ultimate point."

"Following that, everyone's tasks have become heavier. I don't know when it will be my turn to be the captain."

"It's just that the psychological pressure has suddenly increased a lot, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable."

Brother Zhao was a little incoherent for some reason, and his words didn't match up. He seemed to be aware of his gaffe, and suddenly turned his head and said, "You have to be mentally prepared as soon as possible, and you have to take on more responsibilities. Hmm... I should be able to see the sun in the future. I'm lucky."

"Me?" Zhang Yuan was taken aback, "I'm only at the sixteenth level."

"How many sixteenth level are you as young as you are? You are already a middle and high level in the pyramid."

"And, you voted for it, didn't you?"

Zhang Yuan nodded.

"How many people really obey the calculation?"

"It doesn't matter, you have two thousand years of preparation time to learn more things. Our task may be even heavier, responsible for the restart of a civilization... Maybe we will meet the original residents of Gliese 581?"

After Senior Brother Zhao said this sentence, he slowly retracted the rope.

"Indigenous inhabitants, aliens?"

Zhang Yuan recalled that he once saw such a news that the scientists of the earth civilization had drilled through the ice layer hundreds of kilometers thick on the surface of Europa.

Beneath the thick ice, humans have discovered the existence of a complex organic matter.

These complex organic substances are completely different from those on the earth. They can exist stably in an ultra-high pressure environment, but it is difficult to preserve them for a long time in a low pressure environment.

Scientists can't even define whether they are just proteins or real organisms...

Therefore, the origin of life may not be as complicated and difficult as imagined.
