Chapter 313 The Season of Parting
"What are your arrangements for the five space cities currently being built?" asked the commander-in-chief.
"The first batch of residents in Space City have been generated through the application system calculation." Yuan Shichen introduced carefully and carefully, "We will organize selected residents to enter the space city as soon as possible."
The recognition of the candidates for residents of Space City is a very complex project. In addition to the necessary scientific and technical personnel, engineering experts and military police, the determination of other personnel must go through a strict and relatively fair selection process.
First, all qualified personnel must submit applications in the corresponding website system (the application can be submitted in a couple or family unit). If the conditions meet and the approval is approved, they will be included in the list of pre-selected personnel.
Then, the system will classify all pre-selected personnel according to different standards such as gender, age, marriage and family status, nationality, occupation, etc. The computing system will first determine the proportion of personnel in each structure to ensure the rationality of the population and social structure in space cities, and then publicly and fairly select the final selected personnel in the corresponding candidate database.
The reason why nationality is added is that the construction of the Space City is not carried out independently by each country, but is organized by the Interstellar Exploration Alliance and actively participated by many countries.
Although the Interstellar Exploration Alliance is a borderless organization, the construction funds and personnel investment of Space City and related supporting facilities (such as giant electromagnetic catapult orbits, space docks, etc.) are borne by governments of various countries. Therefore, the actual quota allocation of space city residents will also be tilted according to the contribution of each government.
In addition, the residents' choice of 10 central cities that can accommodate 500,000 people, as well as some space cities built later will be directly handed over to the main contributor countries to arrange it themselves.
In short, the effort is proportional to the return. This is also the agreement reached by Yuan Shichen with governments in the process of promoting the interstellar immigration project.
It is precisely because of this that Hatoshi and Frank were able to overcome all difficulties and persuade China and the United States to undertake the construction of two giant electromagnetic catapult tracks, and establish an organizational structure led by the two major camps of China and the United States, and actively participate in many countries.
"Although, the target of interstellar immigration of all space cities is the Alpha Centaurus. However, in order to reduce risks, the Space City will not act alone." Hara Kazuki continued to introduce to the commander-in-chief, "So, these five space cities, as well as the space cities that have been built in recent years, will temporarily stay in the solar system and assume the responsibilities of experimental cities like [Rainbow City]."
"After comprehensive consideration, among these five experimental space cities, two space cities will remain in near-Earth orbit, facing away from the star W (through power, they have been hiding on the back of the earth). The other three space cities will choose Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn as covers, and serve as space bases for the development of the planet's resources. Until the first batch of space cities are completed, they will set out uniformly to the Alpha Centauri system."
"Your idea is very Zhou Xiang. On the one hand, it can test the independent survival ability of Space City in different environments. At the same time, it can also improve and train the ability of the deep space resource development fleet to mine interstellar minerals and resources." The commander-in-chief agreed with Yuan Shichen's plan
"Boom~swoosh"
"Boom~swish"
In recent months, countless shuttles are flying into space with ships of people, and they are the first residents who are lucky enough to be selected into the Space City.
At this time, Yuan Shichen was standing on the top floor of the command center building of the launch site, looking down through the bright floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
He quietly watched the shuttles away from each other teased people's sensitive hearts, and also quietly watched the scenes of parting.
The residents entering space cities are different from those entering geocentric cities. After this separation, they may never be able to return to the earth and never see relatives and friends who stay on the earth again.
The ancient poem says, "When I read it, the smoke and waves of thousands of miles, the dusk mist is deep and the sky is vast."
Life has been hurt since ancient times!
In reality, not everyone has the opportunity to enter the space city, so separation is inevitable. It is on the bustling platform, among relatives with blood thicker than water, and among close friends with nostalgia.
In his sight, an old mother was putting on her son's newly bought clothes last night. The breeze blew, and her trembling hands gently buttoned the last button on her son, and then she burst into tears. The son cares deeply about her mother's loose face and white hair, and could not bear to leave. The young man gradually felt regretful in his heart, but was dissipated by his mother's firm gaze.
Although the parting happened in spring, Wu Chen felt that there was no warmth of spring around him, and the morning of this day was colder than any other day.
Yuan Shichen watched silently, and continued to watch coldly
There is an elderly couple there and a newlywed couple.
When they were about to leave, they could only hug "them", and tears flowed like surging springs. At this time, the old father resolutely wiped away the tears of the young people, changed into a strong gaze, smiled and waved at the young couple, watching them gradually fade away until they boarded the shuttle and disappeared from sight
Outside the window, the gentle sunlight shone diagonally through the window on Yuan Shichen. He stretched out his hand indifferently, touching the sunshine and the dust in the sky, but still couldn't feel more warmth.
Another scene of separation, people held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and were speechless.
Of course, there were also people alone, alone and walking freely. They took anxious steps, hurriedly passed through the crowd, quickly drilling into the shuttle, showing a look of relief and relief.
Yes, isn’t this a kind of escape? Say goodbye to the old world, integrate into a brand new social system, and start a brand new life.
During this period, there were also people who suddenly changed their minds and gave up the qualification to enter the Space City. Yuan Shichen became accustomed to this situation. Everyone has the right to decide their life path, as long as they think it is right.
Perhaps, there are many less fair and even a bit dirty transactions that happen in the dark. After all, society is complex and human nature is unpredictable. In the end of the world, everyone has the desire to survive. However, these are not what Yuan Shichen is concerned about. These complicated things are worrying about by the government system.
With helpless separation, uneasy human hearts, and complex and changeable human nature, Yuan Shichen just watched coldly and had no time to be distracted. His job is to put in more efforts in the macro environment, build more space cities, overcome more technical problems, and build a more comprehensive guarantee system to save more people.
It was finally noon, and Haraki Chen finally felt a little warmth.
Another group of shuttles rose to the sky, flying towards the universe full of joy and parting.
However, people cannot be sure what kind of future is hiding in the next corner.
All they can do is expectation, hope, and prayer
