Natural Selection quickly completed its acceleration state and entered full speed cruising.

After entering the cruise state, Zhou Heng released the deep sea state, walked out of the cabin, and came to the command center.

Looking at the shrinking blue star behind him, Zhou Heng felt a little panicked.

"This is my first time seeing Blue Star like this."

I don't know when Tang Qingqing came behind Zhou Heng.

"Teacher Tang."

Zhou Heng's voice trembled slightly.

"We can't go back!!!"

Tang Qingqing patted Zhou Heng's shoulder gently.

"But we survived, didn't we."

"Let's take another good look at Blue Star. This may be the last time we feel the security brought by our mother star."

The warmth conveyed by Tang Qingqing's palm gave Zhou Heng great comfort.

This means that he is not alone in this universe.

With Tang Qingqing's comfort, Zhou Heng took a deep breath, and then said firmly.

"We will survive, and we will live better, I promise."

Tang Qingqing nodded with satisfaction.

"I believe in you. On your shoulders are not only the lives of ten thousand people, but also the continuation of the entire civilization. Our future depends on you."

"I'll adjust it."

Zhou Heng's expression gradually became calmer.

Since the speed of Natural Selection reaches 15% of the speed of light, it does not need to go through Jupiter's gravitational slingshot effect.

In the silence of Zhou Heng and others, Natural Selection skipped Jupiter and headed straight for "Kepler 22b" at maximum speed.

After the spacecraft passed Jupiter, Zhou Heng turned around and thrust his right hand deeply at Tang Qingqing.

"In the next year, please give me your advice, Teacher Tang."

Tang Qingqing pulled her hair around her ears and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "Please give me your advice, Captain Zhou!"

Since the spacecraft had not yet undergone a test flight, and the construction plan of the spacecraft had been simplified many times, Zhou Heng was not surprised if any problems occurred.

Therefore, during the next year's voyage, Zhou Heng, who has complete spacecraft technology, will not only conduct a comprehensive inspection of the spacecraft, but also make adjustments to the future transformation plan.

During this year, no one else could help at all, so from the beginning, Zhou Heng chose to let everyone hibernate.

In future voyages, not only the spacecraft and crew members themselves will be important, but there is another thing that is also in unusual shortage.

That's the lifespan of a crew.

After all, "Kepler 22b" is 600 light-years away, and the Natural Selection needs to sail at full speed...

4000 years!!!!

Maintenance of natural selection numbers is simple.

Because it is a mature technology, Zhou Heng’s maintenance work is just a little cumbersome.

Although he and Tang Qingqing agreed that within the next year, the two of them would support and help each other.

But during this year, they still got together less and separated more.

Just for simple maintenance, the natural selection number is still too large for two people.

In order to save the service life of the facilities, all unnecessary facilities were closed one after another after inspection.

Except for the lighting system.

This is the experience Zhou Heng summed up during this year.

If the already depressing atmosphere is coupled with a dark environment, it can easily make people mentally unbalanced and then collapse.

So after the third month, Zhou Heng started all the lighting systems.

…

One year later.

After everything was checked, Zhou Heng and Tang Qingqing came to the living area to prepare to wake up the crew members who would replace them.

In order to save equipment losses, the wake-up procedure will be performed manually by both of them.

The one hundred people awakened this time will be responsible for the maintenance of various facilities on the spacecraft and the construction of weapon systems.

Since the Natural Selection was originally a warship, all crew members were scattered in various cabins.

This means that the awakening of these one hundred people is carried out in batches.

This was Zhou Heng's first time to see others wake up from hibernation.

"He's awake, Teacher Tang, he's awake."

Tang Qingqing had experience and said calmly.

"System, inject him with a buffer and let him sleep."

Over time, after a good night's sleep, these people's bodies recovered.

In the command room, it was the first time for Zhou Heng to formally meet these crew members.

However, these people are very familiar with Zhou Heng.

After everyone arrived, someone finally couldn't help but ask.

"Captain Zhou, Blue Star is really..."

Zhou Heng shook his head with a lonely look.

"How could..." One girl had already covered her mouth.

Zhou Heng comforted him softly.

"I don't know the current situation of Blue Star, because the attack of alien civilization caused us to set off in a hurry."

"So it is possible that Blue Star can survive this crisis."

Having said that, everyone knows that the chance of Blue Star surviving is almost zero.

Not wanting them to be enveloped in sadness, Zhou Heng clapped his hands decisively.

"Okay everyone, I have asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal. You haven't eaten in more than a year. This is an absolute master's degree of craftsmanship."

"Also, let me tell you secretly that this time I have specially prepared twenty-year-old fine wine. The quantity is limited. It's first come, first served."

The reason why we use precious materials to prepare a sumptuous banquet is because delicious food can relieve people's anxiety.

It is said to be rich, but in fact it is just some home-cooked dishes, but it is these home-cooked dishes that everyone eats a lot.

After the baptism of delicious food and the excitement of a hundred people around, everyone gradually regained their energy and started talking.

"Come, comrades, say goodbye to the past and cheers!!!"

After observing for three days, it was confirmed that all crew members had adjusted their mentality, and Zhou Heng and Tang Qingqing felt relieved and prepared to hibernate.

The person who took over their command was a former soldier.

Only soldiers can have a strong will to lead them to move forward firmly in this lonely endless starry sky.

Only by handing over the command to the hands of soldiers can Zhou Heng and Tang Qingqing hibernate with peace of mind.

In order to ensure that the spacecraft could fly stably for 4,000 years, Zhou Heng handed over all control of the spacecraft except for the highest authority he retained.

People like them must ensure complete trust in everyone in order to survive in the cold space.

"The hibernation system has been activated, and the estimated hibernation time is 150 years."

Zhou Heng, who was lying in the hibernation cabin, looked in the direction of Tang Qingqing.

He knew that this was the last time he and Tang Qingqing would see each other before reaching the finish line.

In order to save life to the greatest extent, he and Tang Qingqing must be separated and lead the crew forward at different times.

"Teacher Tang, see you in the new world 4000 years later!!!"
Chapter completed!
