"Dad!" Zhou Yu, after getting off the spaceship, ran to Zhou Xing and hugged him.
"Okay, okay! It'll be good to come back! It'll be good to come back!" Zhou Xing nodded happily, and tears of joy could not help but flow from the corners of his eyes.
"Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu! 555, please think about your mother...!" Tang Xin hugged Zhou Yu and cried with joy.
"Xiaoyu, my Xiaoyu!"
“…”
The next second, Zhou Wenhai, Ye Huilan, Zhou Wenhua, Zhou Dan... a group of Zhou family members surrounded Zhou Yu, and the scene was filled with the joy of reunion after a long absence.
Although it has been 273 years since we parted, the strong blood ties have not faded away with the passage of time. Instead, the hidden longing has burst out because of the reunion. Regardless of the occasion, Tang Xin and Ye Huilan closely followed each other. He hugged Zhou Yu and cried happily.
…
Ten minutes later, looking at his mother and wife who still couldn't hold back their tears, Zhou Xing quickly advised him: "Okay! There are still many days ahead! Xiaoyu has just come back, let's go home first."
"Dad is right! Mom, grandma, brother is back, you should be happy, let's not cry anymore!" Zhou Yang comforted him.
After listening to Zhou Yang's words, Zhou Yu was slightly stunned. Looking at Zhou Yang who was somewhat similar to himself, he suddenly understood something.
Tang Xin, who had been paying attention to Zhou Yu, immediately noticed the strange expression on his face and quickly introduced: "Xiao Yu, he is your brother Zhou Yang. We have been trying to find you since you lost contact... But there has been no news from you for so many years, and we once thought that you, you... Wuwu, luckily you are back."
As Tang Xin spoke, the tears that had just stopped suddenly fell one after another like a broken pearl chain.
"Mom, I know, I know, it's precisely because the spaceship you sent found me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back! Now, I'm back, don't be sad, okay!" Zhou Yu hugged me Tang Xin shouldered her shoulder, stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears, and comforted her softly.
Tang Xin looked at Zhou Yu and nodded happily: "I'm happy, okay, okay, mom won't cry anymore, won't cry anymore!"
"Well, let's go home! Let's talk slowly when we go home. I have a lot to say to you!" Zhou Yu smiled, his eyes passing over the faces of Zhou Yang, Zhou Wenhai, Ye Huilan... everyone.
"Okay, okay! Let's go home now!" Tang Xin responded impatiently.
"Yes, go home. Let's talk slowly when we get home!" Zhou Wenhai nodded happily.
Soon, members of the Zhou family surrounded Zhou Yu, happily and couldn't wait to leave the welcome square.
Looking at the departing figures of everyone in the Zhou family, the surrounding federal government officials looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They fully understood the current mood of the Zhou family members and could only temporarily cancel the originally customized welcome ceremony.
The return of the Panshi, no, the Xuanwu Fleet has become a landmark event in the development of the entire human civilization towards a more advanced technological civilization. They have brought mature biomechanical technology, the technology library of alien civilizations, and the technological information of super civilizations... all kinds of things. , guiding the direction for the next step of scientific and technological development of human civilization.
At the same time, the return of the Xuanwu Fleet brought information about another universe, indicating that human civilization can develop into another universe.
In the city in the sky, the pinnacle of civilization, the huge experimental center, Zhou Xing stared alone at a "Xuanwu" ship on the holographic screen, in a daze, as if waiting for something.
"Boss, the plan has been calculated. The implementation success rate is: 69.7%. The executability is very high, but..." Zhou Xiaozhi's voice suddenly came from the holographic screen, reporting.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing frowned and asked nervously: "But what?"
"Boss, if this project is implemented, the existing political structure of human civilization will undergo a subversive change. In the next two hundred years, the human federation may be divided as a result, and in five hundred years, human beings may be in conflict because of this... The longer it takes, , the more complex the changes in human civilization as a whole, there are infinite possibilities, and Xiaozhi cannot deduce the final direction of human civilization in the future." Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and reported.
"There are infinite possibilities. This phenomenon is exactly what I want. The rigid system is not suitable for human civilization, so just follow this plan!" Zhou Xing breathed a sigh of relief and told Zhou Xiaozhi.
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi obeyed obediently.
Immediately, Zhou Xiaozhi began to mobilize resources to implement this new plan with huge impact.
Looking at the busy Zhou Xiaozhi and Zhou Xing, the field of biomechanics has opened up a new development direction for human civilization. Combining the characteristics of biomechanics with self-improvement and self-evolution, the one-household-one-ship plan will be completely liberalized and the birth battleship of human civilization will We will completely let go of our dependence on the planet, and will enter a more thorough interstellar era in the future. By then, the current political structure of human civilization will inevitably be overturned. By then, there will definitely be other political structures to adapt to this change.
However, this is no longer Zhou Xing's concern. I don't know how long it will take for human civilization to enter the next level of civilization. Maybe by then, he will have died of old age!
Zhou Xing stared at the command window, looked at the vast starry sky, and suddenly became stunned.
Nothing can withstand the erosion of the long river of time. All it can do is leave human civilization with a better chance of evolution for survival.
However, time can still erase his efforts.
Time is the mortal enemy of everything!
Is there any way to break the time limit
So, what are the real characteristics of time? Is it really impossible to cross? Is there a super civilization that can override "time"? …
…
Zhou Xing suddenly became interested in the research field of "time", his eyes were deep, and he devoted himself to thinking.
"Congratulations, host, you have met all the requirements for advanced scientist (top level) and satisfied the advanced status. Do you want to advance immediately?" A long-lost voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Xing's mind.
"How could it be possible? The target of impact is also satisfied! Could it be from the Aqua Blue Planet..." Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, then recovered and figured out something.
The delay in reaching the advanced conditions is due to the problem of insufficient population. When Zhou Yu returns this time, the humans on Aquamarine should be included in the calculation. Otherwise, the impact target gap cannot be filled in an instant.
"Yes, host, the humans on Aquamarine have learned of your existence, and are now incorporated into the target of influence. You have reached the conditions for advancement to Great Scientist (top level). Do you want to advance immediately?" The system confirmed Zhou Xing's guess and urged asked.
"Immediately, advance immediately!" Zhou Xing nodded happily and ordered impatiently.
"Understood!" The system responded. Immediately, Zhou Xing's head felt cold, and a cold current surged from the depths of his mind.
Zhou Xing shivered, feeling as comfortable as eating ice cream on a hot summer day. His heart felt cool and his heart was soaring. The dull pain of overthinking in his brain in the past gradually disappeared, as if he had returned to his youth, full of energy.
"Host, congratulations on your achievement of becoming a great scientist (top level). The auxiliary system has completed the auxiliary task. Now all permissions are released to you. You have obtained all the data reserves of the auxiliary system. You have obtained the qualification to read the last words of the wise man of mankind - Master Dans." Assistant. The system's voices sounded one after another in Zhou Xing's mind.
"Database, Human Wise Man - Daners?" Zhou Xing was startled for a moment and couldn't help but open his eyes.
"Host, please check it yourself." The system reminded.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing came to his senses, closed his eyes again in an instant, and entered the space of consciousness.
Immediately, an old human man with white beard and hair, a wrinkled face, and a white robe looked at him with loving eyes.
"Young tribesman, congratulations on passing the test of the auxiliary system and becoming a wise man leading human civilization." The old man looked at Zhou Xing and congratulated with a smile.
"Who are you?" Zhou Xing was surprised. The origin of the auxiliary system must have something to do with dry cleaning.
Dans looked at Zhou Xing, smiled slightly, and waved his hand, and the world Zhou Xing was in changed.
I saw a huge white planet, with various advanced starships, large and small, shuttled back and forth. The entire galaxy has two stars, constantly rotating, releasing hundreds of billions of materials every second. They Its appearance is like being shackled and "imprisoned" by a white cage, continuously providing energy for this super civilization.
Seeing the incredible phenomenon in front of him, Zhou Xing's face was filled with sluggishness. He couldn't imagine what level of science and technology it would take to use this technology to develop stars and make perfect use of the stars' energy and resources.
"Young human wise man, this is the peak period of mankind, but..." Dans just finished his words and waved his hand again.
Immediately, the picture of Zhou Xing's knowledge sea changed. An endless swarm of insects appeared in the vast space. They were everywhere, surrounding the entire galaxy. Battleships of human civilization, swarms of insects, and fierce battles were everywhere... Rows were blown up one after another, and interstellar The battle spread from galaxy to galaxy...
Finally, the scene ends with the star exploding.
"However, there is no eternal civilization in the universe, and racial wars have always existed. I hope you can lead your people to survive tenaciously!" Dans looked at the fading galaxy with a gloomy look on his face, solemnly reminding Zhou Xingdao.
"Who are you? What is our relationship?" Zhou Xing looked at Dans and asked repeatedly.
Dansi did not answer Zhou Xing's words, but glanced at Zhou Xing with nostalgia. The image gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared from Zhou Xing's consciousness.
"System, who is Master Dansi? Where did you come from?" Looking at Dansi's disappearing image, Zhou Xing asked the auxiliary system as if breaking a casserole.
"The host is the creator of Master Danse's auxiliary system. The core computing mechanism of the system is a 'biological sophon' cluster... The system's final initial memory is at this location." the auxiliary system replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, an insect star appeared in Zhou Xing's mind. Astonishingly, it was the insect star that the four "pioneers" had previously explored.
Zhou Xing stared blankly at the buried super battleship and the rows of exposed "miracle doors", and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The auxiliary system comes from this insect planet. So, Master Dans, he...
"Knock, knock..." A crisp sound of footsteps sounded from behind Zhou Xing.
Immediately afterwards, a smaller figure jumped up to Zhou Xing and shouted: "Grandpa, what are you busy with? The dinner is about to start, and grandma asked me to call you."
Zhou Xing opened his eyes, looked down at his seven-year-old granddaughter Zhou Yu'er, smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go with Yu'er right now!"
"Yeah!" Zhou Yu'er nodded lightly and took the initiative to put her small hand into Zhou Xing's big hand.
Zhou Xing stood up and prepared to leave with his granddaughter.
"Huh!" Zhou Yu'er exclaimed, her eyes attracted by the gorgeous appearance of the biomechanical battleship on the holographic screen.
Zhou Yu'er stopped, looked at Zhou Xing with big black eyes and asked: "Grandpa, what kind of spaceship is this! It's so beautiful!"
"Well, it's beautiful! It's called 'Hope', and it's a spaceship that can evolve!" Zhou Xing said with a kind smile.
"Wow! It's so powerful and beautiful. I want to be its commander when I grow up! Okay? Grandpa!" Zhou Yu'er looked at Zhou Xing expectantly.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing hesitated for a moment, then looked at the vast space outside the command window, nodded and said: "Okay! But you have to learn the battleship command skills from your uncle first!"
"Well! Grandpa, I will work hard!" Zhou Yu'er nodded happily and looked at Zhou Xing seriously.
Looking at Zhou Yu'er's serious look, Zhou Xing's expression was complicated and he couldn't help but think of his childhood.
"The dinner is about to begin! Let's go!" Zhou Xing changed the subject.
"Yes!" Zhou Yu'er responded softly and followed Zhou Xing's steps towards the door.
Before leaving, Zhou Yuer looked back with nostalgia at the biomechanical battleship projected quietly on the virtual design platform, her clear eyes full of perseverance.
