——The ring-shaped central hall, which can accommodate nearly a thousand people, was gradually full, and all the members who were summoned here looked at Mrs. Chen on the stage.
Madam is wearing a dark blue suit today, and her hair, which is usually tied in a strict bun, is loosened, making her image more gentle and intimate, complementing the gentle image of the blue planet on the light curtain behind her.
—but her opening speech was unexpectedly heavy.
"In 2544 A.D., the 'Voyager' set sail. In 2567 A.D., we left the Laplante star ring, left the range of signal transmission within our capabilities, and left our hometown completely."
"In fact, in the second year after we set sail, no one answered our call on the parent star that was in deep disaster."
"We don't know whether there are any compatriots surviving on the distant parent star, and we don't know whether the 'voyager' can reach the final destination, but we always bear in mind our heavy responsibility and will not be shaken by the endless loneliness—we are civilization The seeds, carrying the last light of hope, set sail in the vast universe."
There was thunderous applause in the hall.
She paused, then continued: "We have traveled in the universe for 137 years, 1.12 million light-years. We have passed through 232 galaxies, and we have hovered over 56 asteroids. Stop, today, the spaceship has rotated four generations of outstanding scientists and soldiers, and our scientific research achievements are also extremely brilliant—whether it is the Vanger force field, the Lundis force field, the Lucia system, or the 'limitless' project , neuron machinery, are all milestones in the progress of human science."
She showed a smile on her face: "Ten days ago, a large-scale nuclear accident broke out in the first area. Fortunately, with the full rescue of the sixth area, all the fifty-three experimenters were out of danger. What's more What deserves our cheers is that although the experiment was flawed at the end due to improper operation, the results are beyond doubt—the third-generation nuclear fusion technology has fully matured, and we have entered the era of unlimited energy.”
After a short silence, the hall erupted into more enthusiastic applause.
Mr. Lambert and his partners received many surprising compliments: "It's incredible, you guys are amazing!"
Mrs. Chen waited for everyone to cheer before continuing: "Today, I had a long talk with the heads of various scientific research areas. In the end, we believed that the conditions for landing on habitable planets and establishing human bases are ripe. However, the military's opinion —” She smiled, “We all know that the military can’t wait.”
Everyone laughed in good faith, and looked at Marshal Shijos who was sitting on the other side.
The marshal was also obviously in a good mood, his expression was not as serious as at other times, and he nodded to everyone who was looking at him.
After they finished laughing, they looked at Mrs. Chen, their gazes were different from those at the beginning.
Just now, she was purely surprised by the results of the first district, but this time she was both looking forward to and feeling uneasy—Mrs. Chen's words just now revealed the next plan of the "Voyager".
Sure enough, Mrs. Chen said solemnly: "Therefore, I am here to initiate a vote. If more than two-thirds of the members of the 'Voyager' agree, then we will set sail again tomorrow, fly into the subspace, and fly towards the nearest livable place." Take it forward and make the first attempt to build a human base on an exoplanet."
People's comm bracelets light up, projecting interfaces in front of them.
Ling Yi looked at the interface.
Although his cognition of everything was blank when he woke up, he relearned it very quickly. In just a dozen days, he was able to fully understand commonly used characters.
"Lance," he called Lince's name, "is the planet as beautiful as the earth?"
Lin Si clicked "Agree" on his own interface, and said to Ling: "There is nothing on most planets."
Ling Yi tilted his head: "Then why did we land?"
This is a difficult question to answer.
Lins finally said: "Because the universe is too big, and we are so small."
Ling Yidao: "The planet is also very small."
"But it will protect us," Lins said to him, "and we will encounter many dangers when we sail, like that black hole. But we can grow up safely on a suitable planet and develop our science until there is One day no more fear of any danger in the universe."
Ling nodded, and also clicked Agree.
Lins looked at him.
—Lings is actually not a person who is good at expressing, and sometimes he can even be said to cherish words like gold, but no one will have the heart to keep him confused when facing those beautiful eyes full of puzzles.
The voting process was not long, it ended within ten minutes, and 98% of the people chose to agree.
The plan passed naturally, and they may see the long-lost land in a very short time.
Mrs. Chen also elaborated on the conditions they have now, and the future of the spaceship is undoubtedly very bright. In addition, she announced that there will be a grand celebration banquet for the first district tonight-to celebrate the opening of the era of unlimited energy.
After the show ended, Lin Si took Ling Yi out of the central hall and went directly to the third area.
Although he has a bad relationship with Marshal Sjoss, he is very familiar with the third area, because the experimental bodies of the two phases of "Limitless" are all serving in the third area after the transformation, and Lins also needs to come here to obtain follow-up data. The remodeled body has greatly improved its functions in all aspects, and is not suitable for training with ordinary soldiers, so it has its own exclusive area.
Ling Yi looked around the environment curiously.
Like the other districts, the third district is also made of silver-white metal-like materials, with a wide hall, corridors extending in all directions and elevators, but the atmosphere here is much more serious.
The people passing by them were wearing black standard military uniforms with epaulettes representing military ranks on their shoulders, their backs were straight, they were equipped with weapons, and their faces were expressionless.
Ling Yi asked Lin Si: "Does the third district also study science like you?"
"They escort science," Lindsay said. "It is the military's responsibility to cruise regularly, land on planets to mine resources, and ensure the safety of the interior of the spacecraft. After landing on planets, their role will be even greater."
Ling Yi then asked: "Will I also do these things in the future?"
"Your identity belongs to the military, but if you find something else you'd rather be doing, I'll do my best to get you free."
After Lin Si finished talking to Ling Yi, he thought in his heart that it is far from easy for a child to grow up normally, and it is not as simple as handing him over to the military for training every day.
He should also be exposed to all aspects of knowledge in order to make a choice of life direction - as schools on earth can provide.
Lins calculated, because the "limitless" project was blocked, according to his recent work schedule, he could allocate a lot of time to this little guy.
Ling Yi was obediently led by him, and came to a metal gate at least five meters wide. There was a small sign on the top of the gate, which said "limitless" in cursive script.
The iris recognition system is turned on, and the information is displayed below.
Sixth District, Lins, clearance level SS, permission to pass.
There are seven levels of authority and confidentiality on the spacecraft, from D to SSS. The highest authority belongs only to Marshal Shijos and Mrs. Chen, and the person in charge of an area such as Lin Si and Zheng Shu is one level lower.
The metal gate slowly separated to the two sides, and a wide training field appeared in front of it, several times the size of the central hall, clearly divided into several areas, with many small landing ships and detectors parked on the edge.
At this time, there are about 200 people active in each area of the training ground.
There was a lot of noise when the door opened, and they all noticed Lin Si coming in.
