Chapter 333: The Gone Times
In July 2118, 149 years have passed since the first year of the crisis, 1969.
Today is the day when the Fourth Space City Group flew away from the solar system, and human civilization has finally ushered in its fourth farewell.
In the command center of IEA headquarters, an old man with white hair and a haggard face was facing the central surveillance display and sat motionless in a wheelchair.
The command center is very busy, and the staff are broadcasting feedback information from various space cities and deep space resource development fleets. The central monitoring display can see the rigorous and orderly formations of all fleets and space cities.
The old man in his twilight years stood among the crowd like a thornstone.
Time is ruthless. The scientists who were once elegant and elegant are now rough and sallow, with silver threads on their heads.
No matter how brilliant or noble his life has, everyone can never escape the cycle of life and death, and only turns into one of the countless beings, like a dead leaf, gradually withering and drifting away with the wind.
At this time, Durunik had no longer had the spirit he had years ago. His slightly closed eyes occasionally emitted turbid light and his expression was very tired.
Everyone has worked hard to implement the interstellar immigration project smoothly.
"In August 2094, the First Space City Group left. In 24 years, they are about to arrive at the Centaur Alpha Alpha Galaxy."
Durunik, who was sitting in a wheelchair, muttered to himself something.
"In March 2104, the Chinese led the Second Space City Group to leave, and 14 years have passed. May 2112 was the day when the Third Space City Group left, and today it was finally the Fourth Space City Group's turn."
Durunik counted the past time points in abruptly.
"Commander, are you okay?" several medical staff asked with concern.
"It doesn't matter"
Durunik wanted to wave his hand, but he lifted his hand hanging in the air and eventually fell on the wheelchair armrest.
"Commander, you'd better go back to the ward to rest."
The medical staff suggested very nervously.
"No need, I want to watch the Fourth Space City Group leave"
"This, okay." The medical staff knew that they could not resist him, so they had to agree, "Then, please try not to speak anymore and keep a peaceful mind."
"good."
Durunik nodded silently, then closed his eyes slightly, but he would open it from time to time, staring at the giant screen, and listening to the work schedule of the Fourth Space City Group
Finally it was time to part.
"The Fourth Space City Group sets out!!"
Under the command of a middle-aged commander, shining stars were quickly lit up, and the stars gradually passed through the vast universe and gathered into a brilliant and magnificent galaxy.
Durunik looked at the screen in a daze, and time was passing forward minute by minute.
"Commander, the Fourth Space City Group, has a total of 350 space cities, a population of about 105 million, a 32 deep space resource development fleet, and 1,200 escort warships have sailed smoothly according to the plan! It is expected to fly out of the solar system and enter interstellar space in 141 days."
The middle-aged commander reported to Durunik about the progress of his work.
"Okay, it's so great. The interstellar immigrant human camp has grown again."
Durunik suddenly opened his eyes wide and said with a little excitement.
"Please pay attention to your health and avoid emotional fluctuations." The people around you advised with concern.
"It doesn't matter, I feel good, it's good."
This time, Durunik actually raised his arm smoothly and waved his hands to everyone.
"The Commander-in-Chief once said that as long as the earth's civilization remains, we will continue to struggle." Durunik deliberately raised his voice and said to everyone with some difficulty, "The universe is too cruel. The earth is a bad guy. There is no way, we have to race against time."
"Please rest assured." The middle-aged commander said firmly. "Although the resources and labor left over from the Earth's civilization have been greatly reduced, we will definitely speed up the progress and strive to send the last batch of space cities out of the solar system in five years."
"good"
A sweet smile suddenly appeared on Durunik's face, and his expression was as innocent as a child.
"Our era is over, it depends on you next. Remember our agreement."
He raised his head slightly and looked in a daze in the direction where the distant Alpha Centaurus was located.
After a long silence, Durunik finally slowly closed his eyes.
So, his life was frozen at that moment, and his face still maintained a sweet smile
Once soap is used, it will gradually dissolve or even disappear. This is similar to human life. However, soap can dissolve itself but calm clothes, while humans can realize their ideals and values through their youth.
How should we live our lives?
Everyone's life journey is different. Some people live ordinary and calmly, while others live generous and heroic.
As long as you follow your heart, do not violate justice, and do not lose your basic conscience, then it will be right.
However, the progress of society and the development of human civilization are indispensable.
Although the shell is dead, it leaves beauty to the beach and the world.
Just like the commander-in-chief, Frank, and Durunik, they strive to fulfill their obligations in their journey of life and then realize their greatest value.
If a scientist only thinks of himself, then in his life, sad things must be more than happy things.
Science requires a person to devote his whole life to his energy, and science is by no means a selfish enjoyment. If you are lucky enough to be committed to scientific research, you should first use your knowledge to serve mankind, and illuminate the direction of progress for all those who cannot sail in the dark.
The Second Space City Group, Central Space City - Sunshine City, the administrative region of the headquarters of the post-Star Exploration Alliance.
Yuan Nai Chen was reviewing work reports from various departments in the office.
At this time, two middle-aged scientists, led by administrative personnel, hurriedly passed through the safe passage and walked towards Yuan Shichen's office
