Chapter 173: 380 Spots of Light
Facing the old man's teasing, Lu Yongchang could only look at Su Yutong next to him helplessly.
During this period of time, although he knew the thoughts of Su Yutong, the Chairman of the Council and others, with the crisis hanging over his head, he really had no time to think about these trivial matters.
"I heard that Yutong's current scientific research level is already very good?" The old man closed his eyes slightly and asked casually.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
Lu Yongchang was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and replied: "Over the past year or so, we have indeed made great progress."
"But compared with the older generation of scientific researchers, she still has a big gap."
The old man opened his eyes again, glanced at Su Yutong with a pleased expression, nodded slowly and said: "Not bad, not bad..."
"We are old."
"After you leave the solar system, you are the future of the People's Federation."
"Work hard and try to drive this guy Lu Yongchang away."
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but chuckle.
Obviously, he also knew that this was almost impossible to happen.
Su Yutong, on the other hand, nodded seriously, and his slightly cold voice echoed in the office: "President, don't worry."
"I will continue to work hard until I catch up with him!"
As he spoke, Su Yutong subconsciously glanced at Lu Yongchang beside him.
As for Lu Yongchang, he silently shifted his gaze and turned his gaze to the holographic image aside.
After seeing the countdown approaching zero on the projection, his eyes moved and he quickly reminded: "President, the escape plan is about to begin!"
Upon hearing this, the old man's expression suddenly became serious.
He quickly raised his head and looked at the holographic image.
…
A spaceport is built at an altitude of 91,000 kilometers above the earth's surface.
After the last hibernating capsule was sent into the Luanniao 1 starship, the starship hatch slowly closed under the control of weak artificial intelligence.
Rows of indicator lights came on, illuminating the slightly dark passage.
Under the influence of the hydraulic system, the heavy spaceport port hatch slowly opened.
A faint blue light lit up at the rear of the starship.
The weak thrust generated by the Hall thruster slowly pushed the Luanniao 1 starship out of the space port.
Outside the spaceport, 379 Luanniao starships filled with hibernation capsules lined up quietly on a wall, standing in the deep darkness.
They are waiting for the arrival of the last Luanniao starship!
The faint light generated by the Hall thruster looks extremely dim in the endless darkness, just like the current situation of mankind. If you are not careful, you will fall into the crisis of genocide!
The 380th Luanniao starship, under weak thrust, slowly sailed towards its position - the last corner of the starship "wall"!
When it returns to its position, the countdown to the escape plan quietly reaches zero!
"Zero, start your escape plan!"
On Earth, Lu Yongchang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
The radio signal started from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, crossed 91,000 kilometers in the blink of an eye, and entered the central control computers of 380 starships.
0.1 milliseconds later, 380 weak artificial intelligence programs responded to Zero's command at the same time.
The tails of the 380 Luanniao 1 starships lit up with dazzling blue lights!
That's a Hall thruster running at full power!
…
Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, First Laboratory of the People's Federation, Quantum Computer Sub-Laboratory.
"Has the escape plan begun?"
Mo Zeyang looked at the architecture diagram on the screen carefully and asked softly to the researcher beside him.
"Academician Mo, it has already begun."
The researcher glanced at the time and responded quickly.
Mo Zeyang's fingers suddenly paused and stopped typing on the keyboard.
He raised his head and looked overhead.
Thick walls blocked his view.
He pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the window.
Outside the window, it was a rare sunny day.
In the evening, before the sun had completely set, rows of bright stars suddenly appeared in the dusky sky!
Seeing this scene, Mo Zeyang's breath suddenly suffocated, and a sense of pride arose from the bottom of his heart!
That’s the light produced by the Hall thrusters of 380 starships!
Compared with the slightly tired sun in the distance, these 380 star points are filled with endless hope and vitality!
Mo Zeyang withdrew his gaze and looked at a hibernation cabin placed by the window.
Through the transparent window of the hibernation hatch, an extremely old face came into view.
He took a deep breath.
"I really hope Mr. Lin can be awake now!"
He sighed softly: "Mr. Lin must really want to see such a scene!"
The researcher on the side responded in a low voice: "I think we will be able to see Mr. Lin again soon."
"I heard that in the biological laboratory, Academician Mao's medical cabin research has reached the final stage."
"It is estimated that Mr. Lin will wake up from hibernation when we arrive on Mars."
Mo Zeyang looked up again at the stars that were gradually dimming in the sky, and sighed silently: "I hope so."
"Now, we are the only ones left on earth."
…
Inside Lu Yongchang’s office.
Looking at the 380 Luanniao starships in the picture that were heading towards the universe without hesitation, the old man stood up from his chair silently, stretched out his right hand and gave them a very standard salute.
"These 380 starships are basically the entire human civilization."
There was a bit of sadness in Lu Yongchang's eyes.
In just three years, the total number of humans on Earth has been cut in half.
The old man put down his right hand and stared at the starship that was gradually moving away: "How long will they travel?"
"About a year and a half." Lu Yongchang responded quickly, "These 380 starships will stay inside the Kuiper Belt, waiting for our response."
"The various materials inside the starship can support fifty years of hibernation consumption."
Hearing this, the old man fell into silence.
After a long time, he asked with a trembling voice: "What if we don't reach the Kuiper Belt within fifty years?"
The atmosphere in the office was tense.
After a long silence, Lu Yongchang said with a slightly hoarse voice: "Then these 3.8 billion people will die in the hibernation cabin."
"Human civilization will perish."
A trace of pain flashed in the old man's eyes. He covered his stomach with his hands and slowly sat back in the chair.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Lu Yongchang and Su Yutong, he silently took out a jar of pills from his pocket, took out one pill with trembling hands, and threw it into his mouth.
"President..."
The old man waved his hand and smiled weakly: "It's okay."
"It's all an old problem. It's the root of the disease caused by being busy at work in the past."
A worried look flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "President, you need to go check it out."
The old man waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry about it. I know my body and nothing serious will happen to it."
"On your side, the burden ahead will be very heavy."
ps. Who said I was cold???
