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

Chapter 302 [Set sail early? Humanity’s choice]

Office of Zhou Zhezhi
The unexpected news cast a shadow over the office.

Moss, who was thought to have been eliminated, reappeared and left a time notice.

It is conceivable that this news will cause an uproar in the federation.

After all, the departure date is getting closer.

The time that Moss announced happened to be the day of departure, so it is hard not to connect the two.

In 2044, there was trouble with the space station and space elevator crashing. What about this time?

Fortunately, Babata completely locked onto Moss's location this time.

But the location surprised everyone.

"You said, the moon?!" Hao Xiaoxi said in surprise.

"That's right." Babata's voice was also a little annoyed. It seemed that Moss had escaped to the moon under its nose. It was a bit too embarrassing.

"How did Moss get to the moon?" Yang An was more concerned about this matter. Now that the result was out, it was meaningless to investigate how Moss escaped.

It’s better to think about what Moss wants to do by going to the moon.

"The Moon Detonation Matrix!"

This is the only place Yang An can think of where Moss can operate.

If the moon detonation fails, the Wandering Earth project will also end.

"Could it be that Moss wants to destroy human civilization?"

Zhou Zhezhi, who was sitting in a wheelchair nearby, also heard it clearly. He frowned slightly, and there was a hint of doubt in his wise eyes.

"No." Yang An took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and thought quietly.

He recalled the conversation with Moss. This autonomous artificial intelligence seemed to regard him as the biggest destabilizing factor that could lead to the destruction of human civilization.

"Moss wants me to go to the moon."

Yang An opened his eyes, looked up at the stunned Zhou Zhezhi and Hao Xiaoxi beside him, and said calmly.

The probability of moss betraying human civilization is not high. It may even be said that it would like to continue the existence of human civilization. After all, it was born in human civilization.

At the end of the resistance movement, Moss also took ruthless action to eliminate all factors that might cause instability in the subsequent journey.

From this perspective, it is very likely that Moss planned to get rid of Yang An for the second time after discovering that Yang An was not dead.

After figuring this out, Yang An felt a little headache. Why did Moss keep staring at him?

Of course, Yang An also knew that he now held great power. If he made a wrong judgment or did something, it would very likely rewrite human history.

It is basically impossible to persuade a dull and extremely rational guy like Moss.

Plus, the departure time from Earth overlaps with Moss’s announcement.

This means that there is a high probability that Moss intends to use the issue of whether humans can set sail smoothly to threaten Yang An.

If he is unwilling to sacrifice himself, Moss will most likely play tricks on him. This also confirms Moss's idea that Yang An will not dedicate everything to the continuation of human civilization. If Yang An goes, it is easy to imagine what will happen. He will most likely be buried with the collapse of the moon.

"What a plan."

Not only Yang An, but also Zhou Zhezhi, Hao Xiaoxi, and Tu Hengyu beside him realized this.

"This may be Moss's conspiracy. I suggest that we go back to the moon to check the phased array facilities first." Tu Hengyu suddenly spoke.

"Humanity is actually ready to set sail." Tu Hengyu did not give Yang An time to speak, and continued slowly, "If possible, I suggest that we carry out the Moon Chasing and Wandering Earth plans in advance."

We can't lose our composure just because of a simple preview from Moss.

Zhou Zhezhi also nodded in agreement, "The truth of the matter remains to be verified."

"First, make sure we have the rights to the lunar planetary engine and the phased array."

"Yeah." Yang An nodded, but after taking a closer look at Tu Hengyu, he felt that Tu Hengyu's idea was not that simple.

"But now we have set sail for the moon, and it is very dangerous to land on the moon." Hao Xiaoxi said, her youthfulness faded away, and her face became calm and showed some concerns.

The wakes of the three planetary engines would cause great trouble to the spacecraft. We couldn't stop the lunar planetary engine first.

And if it is not detonated at the right distance, the collapsed fragments of the moon will still hit the earth, perhaps destroying the earth's planetary engine.

Who should be sent on such a dangerous mission?
Babata's voice also sounded.

"I can guarantee that I have control over the lunar planetary engine, but there is a problem with the phased array detonator."

"If Moss tries his best to break through the firewall I set up, he might be able to gain partial control of the nuclear bomb.

Babata was very angry, and this anger was directed at itself.

There is no way. Although Babata's computing power is strong, it has not yet reached the level of intelligent life. In addition, Moss has been fighting against Babata for so many years. Perhaps there is some way to break through Babata's blockade.

After all, Moss's life dimension is higher than that of humans, so Moss has no objection to the unit of time.

It can even control its past self to warn humans, which is enough to prove the fact that Moss is a super-dimensional being.

It is difficult to completely destroy moss.

Unless moss is erased in the past, future and present at the same time, it can come to an end.

This is also the reason why Yang An has always been worried that Moss has not completely disappeared.

"No, we can't gamble with any probability at all." Yang An frowned.

Using a phased array to detonate tens of thousands of nuclear bombs simultaneously, causing the interior of the moon to collapse, requires extremely precise control.

There cannot be any problems at all, otherwise, even tens of thousands of nuclear bombs would not be enough to destroy the entire moon.

If the explosion is not done properly and the moon does not collapse, or collapses into large pieces and then hits the earth, the trouble will be even greater.

"I'll go." Tu Hengyu spoke again.

Everyone turned their heads to look.

He pushed up his glasses, raised his hand to stop Yang An, and explained.

"I have worked at the lunar base for ten years and I know it very well. I was also involved in the deployment of the phased array. Why don't you let me check and make sure the phased array is stable?"

"If that doesn't work, I can also manually operate the preset program to detonate it."

Tu Hengyu's words mean that he is ready to make sacrifices.

"Don't joke." Yang An shook his head, "There must be a solution."

At worst, he could just deceive Moss again. Anyway, as long as Yang An wanted, his clone would be no different from the original. But since Moss had been fooled once, it was hard to say whether he would be fooled again.

"That's right." Zhou Zhezhi also said, "Don't be so pessimistic. Although the advancement of human civilization requires some sacrifices, they are not meaningless sacrifices."

"But." Before Tu Hengyu could say anything, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

Zhou Zhe spoke directly.

The door was pushed open and American Congressman Mike strode in, seemingly not surprised that Yang An was here.

"Zhou, Yang, have you received this mysterious letter?"

Mike said loudly, holding up his phone, with a hint of anxiety on his face.

"Got it." Zhou Zhezhi smiled, "Old Mike, don't worry, we are discussing this matter."

"Discuss?" Mike's eyes widened. "Come on, this is the day when humans set sail. Yang, has that damn Moss disappeared?"

"Not at the moment." Yang An replied, and told Mike that Moss might be on the moon.

"What on earth does this guy want to do? Destroy humanity?"

After hearing the news, Mike's face turned green.

Are you kidding me? The moon is the most important part of the plan. If something goes wrong, not only will the Earth not be able to sail, but the entire Earth will be destroyed. "I think humans should give Moss a statement on this matter."

After Zhou Zhezhi pondered for a while, he spoke softly.

"Take a stand?"

"What's the meaning."

Inside the Federal Building Conference Hall.

"We propose that the Wandering Earth plan should be advanced, and all the work on the voyage should be completed within this month. Then, we will set sail!"

Hao Xiaoxi stood on the podium and spoke in a firm voice.

"In order to ensure that this plan is implemented without any mistakes, astronauts should be sent to the lunar base at the same time to ensure that the moon can be properly detonated before humans set sail."

"You must be kidding. The moon is about to explode. Who would be willing to go there at this time?"

As soon as Hao Xiaoxi finished talking about the plan, everyone in the hall started talking about it.

"Also, if we have to complete the departure within this month, what will happen to the large number of residents who are left?"

"Yes, this may just be a prank. I don't agree with setting sail early. Even if we set sail early, the other party will not take action in advance."

Facing the chaotic speeches from the audience.

Hao Xiaoxi frowned and knocked on the podium, "Everyone, please be quiet!"

"We should trust each other, and human beings should not get caught up in internal disputes."

"The more dangerous the situation, the more responsibility we must take."

"Congressman Yang An will be the first to go to the lunar base to inspect the facilities."

There were originally some objections, thinking that sending people to the moon would be like sending them to their deaths, but upon hearing this, they suddenly became quiet and all looked at Yang An who was sitting in the first row.

Everyone is familiar with Yang An.

At this critical moment, Yang An actually wants to go to the moon? What if something goes wrong?

Hao Xiaoxi continued, "Unity, everything is for the unity of mankind."

Although they were not sure how Moss would act, the strategy Yang An and Zhou Zhezhi discussed was to stabilize Moss first.

Yang An will let his clone go to the moon again.

Of course, in addition to sending a signal to Moss, it means that humans advance and retreat together.

Zhou Zhezhi also wants mankind to put aside all prejudices and truly unite.

"Next, please allow our Councillor Zhou Zhezhi to speak."

Zhou Zhezhi walked up to the stage slowly. Facing the panicked, frowning, or questioning eyes of the crowd, he cleared his throat and spoke.

"Hello, fellow members of the parliament. Hello, everyone!"

"The screen behind me showed a human thigh bone fossil from 15000 years ago."

Listening to Zhou Zhezhi's speech, everyone was unsure what he wanted to say.

Yang An, on the other hand, listened carefully.

"From the picture you can see that this is a bone that has healed after being broken."

"15000 years ago. This injury would have been particularly fatal to a human."

"The injury to the thigh means that he can't avoid wild beasts and can't find food. It also means death!"

"but!"

"This fossil bone healed."

Zhou Zhezhi swept the entire venue with a sonorous and powerful voice, "This means that when the owner of this leg bone was broken, he had his own kind around him to take care of him, to help him treat his wounds, to give him food, to provide him with shelter, and to protect him from wild beasts."

"Everyone, it is this kind of unity that has brought our human civilization to where it is today! We believe in each other and will never abandon any of our compatriots at will!"

Everyone seemed to gradually understand what Zhou Zhezhi meant.

"Humans made this choice 15,000 years ago. Now, 15,000 years later, we have another broken femur in front of us."

"Will we continue with the choices we made before?"

Zhou Zhezhi’s meaning is very simple: don’t give up.

Moss thinks that Yang An is a threat and may cause the destruction of human civilization, but will humans really abandon Yang An?

No, it's impossible.

Trust, unity and mutual assistance!

This is what mankind has always insisted on, and will not give up on anyone.

Fifteen thousand years ago, mankind’s ancestors set an example for mankind, and fifteen thousand years later, mankind will not abandon its fellow man either.

If Moss really respected human choices, he would not have to eliminate Yang An.

Yang An will not care about his own life or death and evade his due responsibilities.

This is a game of trust.

Now the pressure is on Moss. Humans have to make a choice to go to the moon and ensure a smooth voyage. What will Moss choose?
2057

December 27th.

There are 162 people on the Navigator Space Station and they are heading to the moon on a city-class spacecraft.

They will thoroughly check how the moon's systems are working and make sure everything is working as it should.

Although the journey was fraught with dangers, some people chose to refuse and escape.

After all, Yang An will lead the team there personally.

Everyone wears a virtual helmet. If it really comes to the last moment, their already loaded consciousness will be permanently transferred directly from the physical body to the virtual reality community.

At the same time, the earth will also create corresponding bionic bodies to help these brave pioneers gain a second life.

This way, no one will refuse.

The lunar engine power was reduced to idle.

Soon, the spacecraft carrying everyone arrived at the sealed lunar experimental base.

"Everyone, the fate of mankind and whether human civilization can continue depends on you. Please." Yang An spoke to everyone.

The busy and intense inspection work started again.

Everyone has no free time and is racing against time to check whether all equipment is operating normally.

Yang An came to the central control room of the lunar base.

Here, there is a sub-consciousness of Babata in charge, which will detonate the phased array after the moon reaches the predetermined position.

However, this time, the plan will be advanced much earlier. Once everything is normal on the moon, the lunar collapse operation will be carried out immediately.

During this period, Earth will also be ready for departure. Babata will control the global Internet, ignite the planetary engine, successfully avoid the debris of the collapsed moon, and head towards a new home 4.3 light-years away.

"Babata, find MOSS at all costs."

Yang An found a chair and sat down, looking at the huge screen in front of him. The various monitors showed that the scientists who had arrived had already started their respective work, and his expression became serious.

Because no matter what, moss is a hurdle that cannot be avoided, and moss must be found before the inspection is completed.

This time, thanks to the advice of Yang An from Devouring the World, Yang An has found a way to completely catch Moss's tail and won't let him slip away again.
