The Future spacecraft continues to fly forward in the vast universe.

In addition to the Future, there is a dark deep space in the universe. In addition to the occasional asteroids and distant stars, the surrounding scenery seems to remain unchanged forever.

In the spaceship, Yuan Shichen was staring lonely at the starry sky in the distance. In that direction, the brightest star was the hometown where human civilization was born.

"In about two months, the Earth Command Center will receive our important discoveries on frozen Saturn one after another."

Yuan Shichen calculated the time with anticipation.

Controlled nuclear fusion technology, black hole science and technology, artificial gravity field system technology, which can provide strong guarantees for large-scale interstellar travel, are the core achievements of this exploration. For Earth civilization, it is the most important and sufficient to change the fate of Earth civilization!

"Start speed up in ten minutes, please be prepared."

The sound of the intelligent control system sounded, interrupting Yuan Shichen's thoughts.

Haraki Chen then turned around and headed to the control room of the Future.

"Are you ready?" asked Yuan Shichen.

"Everything is fine! The system has started to automatically calculate and verify." Smith replied.

"Okay, although it's a bit of a risk, we can return to Earth a year and a half early. It's worth it. Time is so precious."

If the Future spacecraft continues to return to Earth at 50% of the speed of light as planned, it will take nearly 5 years.

However, a few days ago, Yuan Shichen proposed a bold idea through calculations. If all the spare fuel, energy and even supplies of the spacecraft are cleared (including all the supply consumption in a shortened one and a half years) and try to increase the speed of the Future to nearly 80% of the speed of light, the time to return to the earth will be shortened to about 3 and a half years.

Doing this is risky. All the security reserve materials reserved have been put into the artificial black hole power system. In this way, there will be no major accidents during their return journey!

"boom"

The acceleration began. By adjusting the direction of high-energy particle jetting, the Future spacecraft began to flip and enters an accelerated flight attitude. The surging power of the artificial black hole power system is continuously pushing the Future to run forward.

After more than a month of continuous acceleration, the flight speed of the Future spacecraft finally set a new record, with a speed of 79.9% light. This is definitely the fastest flight in the history of manned spacecraft on Earth civilization.

"It went smoothly. Our luck was pretty good, which was comparable to the calculation results. If we flew down at this speed, the remaining resources were just enough for us to return to Earth."

Yuan Shichen was carefully checking and calculating all the data.

"We have to tell Lynn and the Earth Command Center this news."

Smith said excitedly when he thought of mentioning returning to Earth for a year and a half.

"Okay, after sending the email, we have to go to sleep."

After confirming that everything is correct, Yuan Shichen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded and replied

Tibet, south of Xishabangma Peak, the headquarters of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance.

The two camps of the Earth Crisis Research Team Command Center, the Crisis Defense Team and all the researchers from the Interstellar Immigration Team are working hard day and night.

However, careful people can feel that there are subtle differences in the mental states of researchers from these two different teams.

The researchers on the crisis defense team are all maintaining a high degree of concentration and even excitement, and they are solving one technical problem after another.

"I heard that the radiation-proof shell design of [Geocentric City] has been strengthened and improved today!!"

"The closed ecological circulation system can also add these two plants, which have strong vitality and can absorb formaldehyde."

"For the above special geological environments, we need to optimize the engineering plan."

"Have you heard that a group of engineering experts will be drawn in a few days to strengthen our research team."

On the other hand, although the researchers of the interstellar immigration team have never slacked off for a moment, working diligently and hardworking every day, deep down they are worried and restless.

The reason is that the research project is slow progress and excessive pressure. Whether it is building giant spacecraft or space castles, there are still serious flaws in technological strength, and even insurmountable gaps.

Deputy Commander Frank, the head of the interstellar immigration team, is an extremely strong and decisive team leader, but has become unpredictable in recent months and has become gentle and low-key, which has made many researchers feel uncomfortable.

On this day, several researchers were rushing to Deputy Commander Frank's office.

"Dou~Dou~"

The one who rang the doorbell proposed the Space Castle plan, Li Yueqing, a researcher from the Pacific Base.

"Sit down, everyone."

Frank signaled several researchers to take the seat with a calm expression.

"Thank you, Commander."

“We have several tasks to report to you.”

The researchers expressed their intention to Frank.

"Okay!" Frank nodded to everyone.

“We have completed the preliminary poll.”

A researcher in his 40s illuminated the computer data display and analysis system.

“Of all polls, only 10% of respondents are willing to participate in interstellar immigration.”

"Well, this ratio is really low. However, I must explain that the background of the option is to choose between the three options of interstellar immigration, stay on the surface of the earth or enter the [Geocentric City]. This can only mean that ordinary people are more inclined to stay on the earth or enter the underground city. If they cannot obtain the qualification to live in the [Geocentric City], I think the proportion of participating in the interstellar immigration will increase significantly in the end."

"This is an entrance structure that intends to participate in interstellar immigration." The researcher opened the data display system.

Gender: 35.1% for women and 64.9% for men (it can be seen that women are more afraid of the deep space of the universe);

Age composition: 33.2% under 20 years old, 29.5% in 21 to 30 years old, 26.3% in 31 to 41 years old, 8.2% in 41 to 51 years old, 2.8% in 51 years old;

Profession:

"Conservative calculations, even if 10% of the population participates in interstellar immigration, this is also an astronomical figure for us!"

After reading the poll data, several other researchers sighed. Indeed, with the current technological strength of the Earth civilization, it is simply a huge joke to send hundreds of millions of people into the universe.

"It is unlikely to meet everyone's requirements. Even the [Geocentric City] project, which is now under construction, can only accommodate 200 million people." Frank said with a wave of his hand.

"The more serious situation is that most of the energy and resources of IIA and even governments around the world are currently investing in the construction of [Geocentric cities], so where can I do the construction of space castle with greater challenges and relatively less feasibility?" The researchers said with concern.

Frank pondered for a while, and of course he knew the current passive situation. The interstellar immigration project was only an important supplement in the strategic plans of IA Organization and various governments, rather than the main strategy for responding to the crisis. Even the commander-in-chief focused his main energy on the construction project of the [Geocentric City], and the weekly talks with Hobert were much higher than that of himself.
