Simultaneous travel: I have forged an immortal name in the heavens

Gabon space launch base.

It is not easy to send a huge object that is more than one or two hundred meters long and more than one hundred meters wide to the moon.

It takes a lot of energy to escape the Earth's gravity.

However, the spacecraft used an anti-gravity launcher as a springboard, coupled with the continuous thrust of a miniaturized heavy nuclear fusion engine, so it was able to take off successfully.

The follow-up is easy.

We only need to use the technology of this initial model spacecraft to build the remaining models of spacecraft directly in space, which can greatly reduce consumption and waste of resources.

Since it is the first spacecraft built by humans in the true sense that can fly quickly in the universe, rather than a vehicle like a space station, the launch of the initial model spacecraft has attracted a lot of attention.

The world is paying attention to what happens in Gabon.

After discussing with Yang Song, Yang An decided to use the launch of the spacecraft as an external display and broadcast it live around the world.

As for whether the spaceship would give hope to those spaceship factions who had given up hope, Yang An was not worried.

it's useless.

The space station that previously carried the spacecraft Hope has crashed. It was originally the largest spacecraft built by humans that can travel in space.

It has a complete ecosystem and can develop sustainably for more than a hundred years.

Only such a aircraft could possibly carry the rich and the human elite away.

As for the spaceship built by Yang An, it is just a drop in the ocean. In essence, it is only prepared for navigation, not for survival for thousands of years.

Besides, without Babata's command and construction, without blueprints and technology, escaping from the earth in a spaceship is just a dream.

Enter the spacecraft.

Not only Yang An, but also a group of newly dispatched scientific researchers and astronauts will follow him to the moon.

Among them was Ma Zhao, whom Yang An had always been paying attention to.

He was once the director of the Institute for Digital Life Studies at the University of Tokyo.

After the digital life project was banned by legislation, the experiment was ended and sealed in accordance with the law, but in fact some scientists are still studying digital life.

They are also among the few who are aware of the existence of intelligent life.

Judging from the plot, Ma Zhao is definitely a Wandering Earth faction, and he also said that civilization without people is meaningless.

But in fact, Ma Zhao's behavior is somewhat contradictory.

For example, he helped Tu Hengyu upload his daughter's digital life, and secretly gave the device 550a to Tu Hengyu for use.

Later, on the moon, he deliberately let Tu Hengyu discover that the computing power of the 550c quantum computer far exceeded that of the 550a.

This triggered Tu Hengyu's obsession to give his daughter, who died in a car accident, a new life.

Afterwards, he repeatedly guided Tu Hengyu to upload his daughter Yaya's consciousness at the risk of losing the qualification to enter the dungeon and being imprisoned.

Yang An was very curious about why Ma Zhao did this.

There are many different reasons, some say he is using Tu Hengyu to continue his digital life experiments.

There are also claims that Ma Zhao had long been aware of the existence of intelligent life and believed that intelligent life might pose a threat to humans, so he wanted to use Tu Hengyu and his daughter's human thinking to change intelligent life.

In short, everything seemed to have become a mystery, and with Ma Zhao's death, the answer became a distant prospect.

Yang An admires Ma Zhao and Tu Hengyu very much.

I admire Ma Zhao's contribution to the continuation of human civilization, Tu Hengyu's willingness to give everything for his daughter, and of course Tu Hengyu's final contribution of sacrifice for mankind.

These two talents should not be buried.

But before that, Yang An still needs to observe the two for a while.

New York, inside a towering building.

The staff is busy.

Inside the office.

"This is a step for mankind to emerge from the disaster. The successful construction of the first manned spacecraft indicates that we will emerge from the tragedy of the collapse of the space elevator and continue to work hard for the existence of human civilization!"

"Let us pay high tribute to these pioneers who have continued human civilization."

On TV, the host's voice sounded a little excited.

After meeting with Yang An, Zhou Zhezhi hurried back to New York to handle various tasks. He was quietly watching the pictures on TV, and no one knew what he was thinking in his wise eyes.

"Teacher Zhou, do you think the lunar planetary engine ignition experiment can be successful?"

On the side, Hao Xiaoxi carefully brought a cup of hot tea, handed it to Zhou Zhezhi, then looked at the TV and asked softly.

She was deeply impressed by the young man, especially his confidence, which made her want to believe what he said.

"Of course you can." Zhou Zhe nodded and said slowly. His voice was a little hoarse and a smile appeared on his tired face.

"Xiaoxi, the future of mankind lies in the hands of young people. I am willing to believe that they can accomplish this important task."

Hao Xiaoxi nodded, and at this moment, Zhou Zhezhi handed him a revised speech.

"Teacher Zhou, what's this?" Hao Xiaoxi seemed a little at a loss. She understood what Zhou Zhezhi meant. He intended to let her give the speech after the ignition experiment was successful.

"You are also a young person, and the future lies in your hands." Zhou Zhezhi smiled kindly, "Don't be afraid, just read as the time comes."

Hao Xiaoxi was still a little worried, "But is it appropriate to give such an important speech to me?"

"What is inappropriate? Which speech here is not important, or in other words, which work we are doing is not important."

Zhou Zhezhi picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Watching the host's excited countdown on TV, the spacecraft slowly rose into the air like a ghost. It did not start its engine until it was a thousand meters above the ground, spurting out blue flames and rushing out of the atmosphere like a hot knife through butter.

"The fate of mankind is in my hands."

As the spacecraft finally broke through the atmosphere and entered the dark universe.

"Currently 76000km above the ground! Entering the secondary ignition procedure."

Babata-2 is methodically manipulating the spacecraft, gradually leaving the Earth's orbit, getting rid of the influence of gravity, and accelerating towards its target, the Moon.

Behind Yang An, the author's scientists and technicians were all shocked.

Most of them have been to the space station and even to the moon.

But at that time it was necessary to use a rocket to leave the earth first and then dock in the space station. But now this brand new spacecraft is far superior to any previous spacecraft in terms of speed and airworthiness.

And in the crowd, a middle-aged man wearing glasses was sitting there quietly.

The eyes behind the glasses stared sharply at the shadow of Babata.

There was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

The rumors are true, humans have developed artificial intelligence life.

Ma Zhao, who has been studying this work, is very curious about Babata.

Yang An also noticed Ma Zhao's gaze. The two looked at each other, and Ma Zhao lowered his head imperceptibly.

Yang An took a step forward and walked to Ma Zhao.

"Teacher Ma."

Ma Zhao raised his head and glanced at Yang An, who had a smile on his face.

"Lieutenant Colonel Yang, what's going on?"

It was a very calm tone, but Yang An could still catch a hint of curiosity from his tone.

"Nothing. I heard that Mr. Ma was in charge of the digital life experiment before, and I wanted to communicate with Mr. Ma."

The existence of intelligent life also caused the space elevator crash.

This news is still top secret and has not been disclosed to the outside world. Even Ma Zhao is not aware of it.

"Oh?" Sure enough, Ma Zhao couldn't get rid of his curiosity. He put down the tablet in his hand and looked at Yang An.

"I heard that you, Lieutenant Colonel Yang An, are also involved in this artificial intelligence design work?"

The existence of Babata could not be completely concealed, but only a very few people knew about Babata's origins, and Ma Zhao happened to be one of them.

"Yes." Yang An nodded.

He can now be considered a semi-expert.

Especially in the field of artificial intelligence, Yang An can be said to have more knowledge than anyone else on Earth.

He was able to answer all of Ma Zhao's academic questions with ease.

Gradually, the indifference on Ma Zhao's face faded, and his tone became gentle. He sighed, "Lieutenant Colonel Yang An, I didn't expect that you understand this aspect more deeply than I do."

"It's okay, let's communicate more." Yang An said casually without being too modest.

Of course, Yang An raised another key question.

"I wonder what Mr. Ma thinks of intelligent life?"

"Intelligent life? If it is digital life, in my opinion it is just a electronic pet." Ma Zhao's expression became a little cold when he mentioned this matter.

Yang An didn't care, "That is to say, Mr. Ma, you think digital life cannot replace human civilization."

"That's right." Ma Zhao nodded without hesitation.

If you really understand the digital life of this world, you will know that digital life is just a false proposition.

Digital life is not equal to consciousness transmission, it is only equivalent to a backup of consciousness.

In other words, people will still go through the process of death, and then this backup will take over the person's conscious life.

Is this still him?

Digital life in the true sense must be consciousness uploading, or a virtual universe that devours the world.

Yang An actually thought about whether it was possible to establish such a virtual community.

Let all humans sleep in the nutrition warehouse, and let their consciousness live in the virtual community, which can greatly reduce the consumption of food and other materials. It can also ensure order.

If this is true, Yang An thinks most people would be willing to live in an underground city, rather than living there with a lack of supplies and having to eat earthworms to survive.

However, it is difficult to replicate a virtual universe.

The virtual universe is a feature of the Devouring World. Yang An from the Alien World had previously thought about replicating it, but finally gave up due to its huge data flow.

However, as early as on Earth, Hong and Lei Shen had used similar technology to create virtual worlds such as the trial space of the training camp and the Palace of the God of War.

Connect via a virtual headset.

Recently, Yang An has begun to instruct Bata to conduct experiments, but at present Babata’s main task is to completely suppress Moss.

Yang An also needs cooperation. If he can get Ma Zhao's help, progress may be faster.

"What if it's not a backup of consciousness, but a real transmission of human consciousness?"

Ma Zhaoyuan thought that the topic was over, but he didn't expect to hear such words suddenly.

"."

Ma Zhao looked up in surprise, with surprise in his eyes. He looked at the smiling Yang An, slowly pushed his glasses and shook his head.

"Impossible. Such experiments have been studied in various countries before. However, it is simply impossible to create a virtual reality similar to that in science fiction novels with current technology."

"Besides, do humans really have souls or self-awareness?"

Ma Zhao's words sounded like a denial, but also like a rhetorical question.

He didn't expect to get an answer from Yang An.

But something unexpected happened again.

"some."

Ma Zhaogang was about to get up and check the quantum computer device he was carrying, which had been specially processed by Babata and could block the intrusion and control of Moss.

Hearing this, his movements froze.

He turned his head and looked at Yang An with a look of surprise and shock.

"If possible, I will contact Teacher Ma after this experiment is over." Yang An knew that Ma Zhao would definitely be tempted, so he smiled.

Ma Zhao's heart was indeed in turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface and stood up silently. "I hope you can provide me with data that interests me, rather than just empty words. Humans don't have much time, and not a single minute or a second can be wasted."

Moon!

In the past, it took three to five days for people to travel from the Earth to the Moon by rocket.

But this initialized spacecraft was different. It successfully reached the moon in less than three hours.

Although the speed was much slower than Yang An's Black Dragon Mountain spaceship.

But it's shocking enough.

If we had such technology and upgraded the planetary engines on Earth, it might not take 4.3 years to reach our new home 2500 light years away.

Of course, Yang An is already working on this work.

Near the Luna 1 planetary engine base.

"Dad, how do we solve this problem?"

It was hard to tell whether it was a nightmare or a hopeful voice. Tu Hengyu, who was still in the hibernation chamber, twitched his eyelids unconsciously and took note.

But he still didn't wake up.

But the next moment, the power suddenly went out, plunging the entire base into darkness.

The staff was in chaos.

"what happened?"

"What else could it be? It's a solar storm. This is just a precursor. A bigger storm is expected to hit the moon."

"How could this happen at this critical moment?"

"Wake up everyone first!"

Tu Hengyu's trembling eyes finally opened.

"Crack——!"

The hibernation chamber popped open, and Tu Hengyu seemed to have slept for a century. He fumbled to put on his glasses, then looked around blankly.

After hearing the conversations of the people around him, he slowly stood up, adjusting his limbs which had not moved for a long time and felt a little unfamiliar.

Originally, Tu Hengyu planned to go and see what the 550a he was using was like.

But he was soon attracted by the exclamations of people around him.

"Look, what is that?"

"Is my vision dazzled? Alien spaceship?"

Tu Hengyu hesitated for a moment and walked to the window. Outside was eternal darkness and silence. The moon without an atmosphere was like a dead planet.

In the distance, a white disc-shaped spaceship was spewing blue flames and slowly descending towards the ground. Its size was far larger than those manned rockets and spacecraft connecting to space stations.

Like an alien UFO in a science fiction movie!

It just appeared in Tu Hengyu's eyes, and the glass reflected his stunned and shocked expression.

"It's the cargo transport ship, and the researchers who are doing the ignition test, they've arrived!"
