Start sweeping the universe by rubbing the CPU with your hands.

But before setting sail, there is one more thing that needs to be done.

After the change, the original more than one million spaceships of various types were no longer useful and needed to be disposed of.

The disposal plan given by the ruling committee is to throw them all into the stars, leaving no one behind.

The hot burning star will be like a huge crematorium, burning all the remnants of human beings. Apart from slight changes in its own metal content, it will not leave any traces in the universe.

Even the only changes in the amount of metal are extremely subtle. It would be impossible to detect it unless the star was studied in great detail and purpose.

The mass of a star is easily in the 10^30 kilogram range. At this moment, the combined mass of all the spaceships replaced by human civilization is only about ten trillion tons, only about 10^16 kilograms, and only about one trillionth of the mass of a star.

With such a small mass, it is too difficult to say that it can have any macroscopic impact on stars.

Thus, under the joint gaze of hundreds of billions of people, a huge waste disposal work began.

One spaceship after another was adjusted to a suitable orbit and thrown into the star at a speed of tens of kilometers per second. Looking at this scene, people's emotions were extremely complicated.

There is a sense of pride in the powerful civilization and the replacement of spaceships with more outstanding performance and more advanced technology, but there is also some nostalgia and reluctance to part with those old spaceships.

After all, that is the home we have lived in for thousands of years...

Over the years, countless people were born in those spaceships, grew up in those spaceships, received education, played, fell in love, got married and had children, worked and lived...

There is no telling how many people's memories are contained in each spaceship.

Suddenly, a trend suddenly emerged on the Internet of human civilization. I don’t know how many people posted photos and video records of their lives in old-fashioned spaceships on the Internet, and talked about their lives in old-fashioned spaceships. All the things I have experienced have caused countless resonances.

But all of this ultimately leads to one result.

Say goodbye to the past and welcome a better future. Our future will be better.

The cleaning of more than one million various spaceships, bases, equipment, etc. will be completed. In the conference room of the No. 1 residential spaceship, known as the capital spaceship, another ruling committee meeting was held.

This time, the ruling council members will decide an extremely important issue.

Which galaxy is the target of this voyage? After arriving in that galaxy, how will the various affairs of the civilization be arranged? During the voyage, what tasks will civilization focus on?

This is a very important thing. In some sense, this is related to the future direction of civilization and its destiny.

In the past, Liu Yuan was the leader of such extremely important meetings. He will synthesize opinions from all sides and finally make the most appropriate and reasonable plan.

The ruling committee members are also accustomed to working under Liu Yuan's leadership.

For countless years in the past, every major civilized event was arranged in this way. The execution results of each transaction have confirmed Liu Yuan's vision and correctness time and time again.

I thought this meeting would still be like this, but something unexpected happened to the committee members.

In the solemn and solemn highest-level conference room, Liu Yuan looked at the committee members with a smile.

"I will only attend this meeting and will not participate. It is up to you to decide the next step for civilization.

Not just this one meeting. I will not comment on any matters in the future. "

The committee members looked at Liu Yuan in disbelief at first, then looked away after a moment, and each fell silent.

It was only at this moment that the committee members suddenly realized that the time for the head of state to leave civilization was coming soon...

Yes, we humans are now a true fifth-level civilization. On the basis of the dark force theory, we have made great progress in various application directions. Although the research is not in-depth enough, we cannot compete with established civilizations such as Luotu Civilization. Compared with the fifth-level civilization, it is no longer inferior in terms of research breadth.

What the future lacks is just continued in-depth refinement.

The Führer is leaving. The future destiny of civilization will truly be in our hands.

The survival and life of these nearly one trillion people, the security and development of civilization, such a heavy burden will truly fall on our shoulders.

Power also means responsibility.

In the past, this heavy responsibility rested on the shoulders of the head of state, and we only needed to be under the command of the head of state. Now……

The committee members have been in high positions for a long time, and each has proven his or her excellence through continuous experience. But even though the state of mind has been as solid as a rock through experience and training, at this moment, I still can't help but feel a little flustered and confused, as if something is suddenly missing in my heart.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Xinghe stood up: "Head of State, I think we are not in a suitable state to discuss and decide such an important matter today. I suggest that the meeting be postponed and held in three days."

Liu Yuan smiled and said: "I said that I will only attend the meeting and will not participate in any decision-making."

Lu Xinghe, who was the second most powerful figure after Liu Yuan, both in name and in actual power, solemnly agreed after receiving Liu Yuan's reply: "Yes."

Then, he looked at his colleagues.

"I suggest that the meeting be postponed and held in three days. Do you agree?"

"agree."

"agree."

After unanimous approval by the members, the meeting ended without any resolution being discussed.

When leaving, the committee members looked solemn.

Everyone quietly feels that from this moment on, civilization is no longer the same as before.

Time passed slowly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. The meeting was held again. This time, the members' mood was much calmer than the last time. Discussions and decisions unfolded in an orderly manner. After preliminary preparations, the committee members carefully weighed every matter, the priority and importance of every choice, and finally decided that the duration of this voyage was set at 30 years, the total voyage was set at 1460 light years, and the final destination , it is still a relatively remote and ordinary star system.

In that star system, the dwell time is expected to be about 200 years. During the stay, we will continue to conduct in-depth research on various technologies of the fifth-level civilization, optimize and iterate existing technologies, continue to try to refit existing spaceships, and carry out research on larger and more powerful main battleships.

In addition, another most important task, even more important than all the previous tasks put together, was passed with the unanimous approval of all members.

In the next voyage, the ruling committee must go all out to deal with the various chaos that will inevitably occur during the transformation stage of civilization, and must constantly adjust the organizational form of the entire civilization to adapt to the new operating model in the future.

In this regard, Liu Yuan, just as he said, only attended and did not express any opinions. Even if a committee member habitually asked for his opinion, Liu Yuan would just smile and shake his head, leaving all decision-making power to the committee members.

Under such circumstances, the sailing command was actually issued. A total of more than 900 billion people, a population of nearly one trillion, and a total of nearly one million spacecraft once again embarked on a long journey.

Everything is still the same as before. For ordinary people, setting sail this time is no different. No one noticed that some far-reaching and extremely important changes happened quietly without everyone being aware of it.

In addition to decentralizing decision-making power, Han Yang is also gradually withdrawing from more fields.

The first is social management. His computing power gradually withdrew from various civil and administrative agencies.

This caused a bit of confusion in the early days. Many people began to complain that the efficiency of government agencies began to decline and the error rate increased, causing some inconvenience to daily life.

Fortunately, the human government responded quickly. In response to public calls, it soon began to comprehensively sort out the service logic of administrative agencies, adjust service processes, create additional positions, strengthen training, etc.

Fortunately, Han Yang's withdrawal was slow and gradual, leaving sufficient time for the ruling committee members to adjust. Therefore, chaos has always been relatively minor and local, with a small scale and will not affect the overall structure of civilization.

In addition to the management organization, Han Yang's previous responsibilities, such as spacecraft operating status monitoring, emergency repairs, coordination between different spacecrafts, etc., have also begun to gradually withdraw.

To this end, the ruling committee members had to establish a large number of new institutions and strengthen the existing ones.

Then there is the medical and health aspect. Many doctors suddenly discovered that the medical system did not seem to be as easy to use as before. There was a certain degree of lag and confusion in medical record management, case analysis, disease communication and even the organization of medical conferences, etc.

Not only that, patients have also begun to find that doctors are not as efficient as before, and their accuracy has also begun to decline.

The ruling committee subsequently made adjustments to strengthen the training of medical students, strengthen the internal construction of medical institutions, etc.

One field after another, we gradually and orderly began to experience the pain of these transformation periods.

It was only at this moment that the ruling members gradually realized the huge price they had to pay to obtain the living conditions they considered ordinary in the past.

Han Yang's withdrawal has been proceeding unswervingly and unstoppably slowly, and it has not been completed until decades have passed before the human fleet once again arrived at a new anchor system.

This time, Han Yang even withdrew from the field of scientific research, truly leaving the future development direction of human civilization in the hands of human scientists.

Are you going to develop a new flagship warship? Satellite level, or even planet level battleship? Okay, do your own research.

As a result, scientists also encountered the troubles of people in other fields. They suddenly discovered that within the scientific community, communication was no longer as smooth, organization was no longer as strong, and material supplies were no longer sufficient and timely...

Etc., etc.

"At least at the current stage, the scientific community of human civilization and subsequent scientific development no longer need me."

Han Yang thought silently: "At the current stage, the maximum economic speed of spaceships manufactured by civilization can reach 55 times the speed of light, which is still far from the 80 times the speed of light of the Luotu civilization.

It only took us a few hundred years to go from 10 times the speed of light to 55 times the speed of light. But from 55 times the speed of light to 80 times the speed of light, it may take thousands of years.

Because civilization has passed the period of rapid development after the breakthrough of basic theory. In the future, there will be a development model of excellence and meticulous care. We must continuously optimize and iterate on every performance indicator. It may take ten or even a hundred years to improve a performance indicator by 1% or even less.

Relying on countless performance improvements of 1% or less from countless performance indicators to achieve a slow improvement in overall performance, from 55 times the speed of light to 56 times, and then to 57 times...

Development bit by bit, progress bit by bit.

There is no other way to go but this one.

Under this development model, even if I exist, the acceleration of development will not be too great.

It’s time to prepare to leave and go to the Canis Major dwarf galaxy to pursue a broader future for our civilization..."

Han Yang operated a wide-angle telescope and looked at the starry sky where the human fleet was currently located.

In the past thousands of years of continuous voyages, the human fleet has truly crossed a long distance of more than 20,000 light-years and truly arrived at the edge of the Milky Way.

The stars here are extremely sparse. Just like the galaxy we are in now, the nearest star is also 15 light-years away.

This is unimaginable in the densely populated Milky Way.

Moreover, the stars here are generally dominated by old stars. They have reached the end of their lives, their size has increased and their surface temperatures have dropped.

On Earth, under good weather conditions, the total number of stars that can be seen by the naked eye is about 6000. And here, no matter how good the observation conditions are, the number of stars visible to the naked eye will not exceed 1000, and they are generally dim.

The starry sky has lost its color.

At this moment, after withdrawing from the human world, almost all of Han Yang's computing power was invested in another place.

That is another star system more than two thousand light years away.

Preparations for the voyage to the Canis Major dwarf galaxy are carried out here.

Time passes slowly. Just when Han Yang thought that this anchorage would be calm and peaceful, just like any other anchorage in the past, just when he was preparing for the next voyage, something unexpected happened in the vast starry sky.

Only 15 light-years away, in the star system closest to where it is parked at this moment, under the watchful eyes of the surrounding warning satellites created by human civilization, accompanied by a burst of light and shadow changes, a huge force with the same scale of a hundred A fleet of more than spaceships suddenly appeared.
