Solar system, Earth.

"Professor, time is up." A gentle light lit up in the slightly dim office.

Zero's virtual image gradually appeared at his desk: "Most of the scientific researchers have evacuated, it's your turn and the Councillors."

Lu Yongchang nodded silently, picked up the white coat hanging beside him, and put it on himself.

Then he walked towards the office door.

The moment he put his hand on the door handle, Lu Yongchang turned his head and looked at the dim room again.

His eyes looked straight towards the window.

Outside the thick reinforced glass, there is a scene like hell.

The clouds that stretched for countless kilometers, countless golden thunder dancing wildly, and unprecedented storms filled the entire world.

"Why……"

Lu Yongchang twisted the door handle and turned his head to walk out of the room.

With the sound of the door closing, the holographic images turned into light chips and dissipated into the air, and the originally dim room seemed dim.

...

【Jianmu】Underground base.

Because of the extremely harsh weather environment outside, in order to be on the safe side, they chose to take a space elevator to the space port.

"President of Congress." Lv Yongchang, who came to the underground base, saw Councillor Li standing in front of a screen from afar.

"Yongchang." Congressman Li turned his head and looked at Lu Yongchang, "You are here."

"Look at this earth."

Member Lee said, while turning his gaze to the screen next to him again: "It is hard to imagine that our earth has become like this in just a few years!"

Looking at the pain in Congressman Li's eyes, Lv Yongchang fell into silence.

After a long time, he sighed softly: "Chairman, there will be a chance to come back."

"The solar system will always be the home of human civilization."

Congressman Lee nodded slightly, without saying a word, and walked directly into the space elevator.

Lu Yongchang looked back at the underground base again.

The huge underground base is empty.

"Zero, start transmitting data." Lu Yongchang said with a serious expression.

This is the penultimate step for human civilization to evacuate the earth.

Zero needs to package and transmit his main program to the Earth starship host located in the [Jianmu] Spaceport.

The transmission method is naturally quantum over-distance communication.

"Yes, Professor." Zero's voice rang out, "connecting the Earth Starship."

"The connection is successful, data is being transmitted..."

The next moment, the holographic images in the underground base quietly dissipated.

All kinds of facilities have only left the most basic functions to maintain operation.

The waiting time was not long, and it took more than ten minutes.

"Professor, the transmission is completed." Zero's voice sounded again, and the holographic image unfolded again, "Everything goes well."

Unlike more than ten minutes ago, Zero at this time is located inside the Earth starship 91,000 kilometers above the surface, and communicates with Lu Yongchang through quantum over-distance communication technology.

Lu Yongchang nodded slightly, and his originally solemn face suddenly relaxed a lot.

This is the step he is most worried about and the most likely step to happen.

Once there is any accident in the transmission process of the zero main program, human civilization will basically be doomed to perish.

He breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the space elevator.

The elevator was filled with people, but it seemed extremely quiet.

Scientific researchers, Starship pilots and People's Political Consultative Conference members.

The last group of evacuated personnel sat quietly in their seats, silently looking ahead with dissipation.

When everyone saw Lu Yongchang walking into the space elevator, at that moment, everyone looked at him.

Familiar faces came into his eyes.

Fang Xu, Tang Wenshan, Mao Zhengzhi, Mo Zeyang, Kong Xingbang, Hong Qiming...

Faced with everyone's look of confusion in their expectation, Lu Yongchang couldn't help but feel a slump in his heart.

It seemed as if a huge rock was pressing against his heart, making him breathless!

"Everyone."

Lu Yongchang opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

He looked at all the scientific researchers silently. After a long time, he deeply exhaled a deep breath: "May human beings have everlasting glory."

A slight applause rang out from the corner.

Lu Yongchang turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

Member Lee sat quietly on the chair beside the porthole of the space elevator, looking at him with a smile on his lips.

The lights reflected the wrinkles on the old man's face.

It was also at this moment that he suddenly realized that the old man had aged a lot in just a few years.

As Councillor Lee's applause rang out, applause continued to sound inland the space elevator.

"Professor Lu! We are waiting for you to take us out of the solar system!"

"Yes! Break out of the solar system and colonize the Milky Way!"

"Professor! I promised that I will take us back to the solar system and take a look!"

Several young researchers were full of smiles on their faces and shouted loudly while applauding.

The originally dull atmosphere in the space elevator was swept away.

Lu Yongchang looked at several familiar faces that were smiling at him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He stepped towards the Chairman of the Council, sat down in the seat beside the old man, and said in a deep voice: "Zero, let's start!"

A slight vibration and buzzing sound came from the soles of my feet.

[Jianmu] is started.

Considering that the physical fitness of everyone present is generally not high, the space elevator adopts the smoothest operating mode.

Even so, in just a few minutes, the space elevator ran to a height of thousands of meters!

Lu Yongchang turned his head and looked towards the porthole.

Outside the porthole, there are dense dark clouds stacked up.

That is the formation of a large amount of evaporation of sea water.

They wrap the entire earth like a sauna.

A lot of rain poured out between heaven and earth.

But most of the rainwater was evaporated back into the air by high temperature before it even fell.

As the height continued to rise, Lu Yongchang's eyes turned to infinite distance.

That is the direction of the equator.

A large number of clouds blocked his sight.

Lu Yongchang sighed slightly, with a little regret in his eyes.

The next moment, a holographic image appeared in front of everyone.

It is a real-time picture taken by a robot.

A slender, straight ribbon connects the world.

That is the Tower of Babel located in Africa.

Lens switching.

On the beach, a large number of white objects were left.

That is the salt stain precipitated after a large amount of sea water evaporates.

The screen jumps again and again.

Through the camera on the robot, the earth's appearance is clearly presented to everyone.

This is the last side of mankind and the earth.
