Chapter 991 Complete the Four Years in One Go

It's time to go home.

Leaving enough supervision equipment and robots, and placing observatories on the orbit that are beneficial to increase the progress of sociology, Xu Yang regards Proxima Centauri-b as a petri dish, continuously monitoring and observing the development of those super green skins. When the next batch of explorers arrive, they should be able to collect the food.

Afterwards, Xu Yang lit up the star gate and brought the Pioneer spaceship back through the warp.

For the crew of the ship, the Proxima Centauri expedition was like a long-distance expedition, the future was uncertain, and what shocked them most was the difference in time and space: Although the voyage was shortened through the star gate, it took them 4 years to complete a round trip .

Human life is too short, just a few space voyages, great changes will take place in the world. Astronauts are still in their prime, but our friends on the ground are old. Every time this fact is considered, the crew feels that the responsibility of space exploration is extremely great.

After this exploration, people are very clear that the current colonial boundaries of human civilization are the blocks connected by the star gates. Once they are all digested, the development level of human civilization will rise to a higher level and officially become an interstellar civilization. !

Xu Yang drove the Pioneer exploration ship back to the launch base of the Nisto Interstellar Development Group. When the ship descended from the atmosphere, he had already received Lila's welcome message.

"Welcome home, Master." Lila said tremblingly.

"I'm back." Xu Yang stood in the captain's room and responded gently.

The entire huge spaceship slowly approached the ground, and the engine rumbled like a drum playing a triumphant song. It’s all grand and grand—humans surveyed Proxima Centauri-b, used it as a colony, and took the first step in truly meaningful space exploration.

"Is everyone on board okay?" Lila said. The responsibilities of these years have taught her to broaden her horizons.

"They all play like crazy, the mission is over, the voyage is back, they are all drinking on the ship, don't worry, I give orders, they play as much as they want, black out, celebrate, enjoy, as the pioneers of mankind, this is what they deserve .Four years passed with a flick of the finger on the ground. I don't know if anyone has missed the big event. Did they miss the wedding, the funeral, the happy news, the sad news...let them indulge themselves before they return to their homeland." Xu Yang said.

"What about Master himself? Do you suspect that you have missed something important?" Lila asked.

"I'm not worried about anything, I just miss you so much, I want to make up for what I missed, the spaceship has 7 minutes to land, I want you, Lila." Xu Yang said.

"Everything is fine." Lila was moved to tears, "again: welcome back, Master."

The radio wave was interrupted, and the spaceship decelerated and landed while roaring. The fuel consumed during the deceleration phase was as much as when accelerating. It landed with a roar just like the Titan Star God back then, but it was completely created by humans themselves.

Xu Yang checked various parameters. People in the old era might not be so careful, but he took care of the details, including the amount of all resources used by the spaceship and the expenditure of various materials. He personally asked about it.

On the one hand, thanks to the highly informatization project that he insists on implementing, everything is clear and clear, and is checked and calculated by compound artificial intelligence to eliminate waste and resource mismatch; on the other hand, it is also the spirit of collective efforts that is at work. He is very clear that all resources are collected. It is all the people, communities and communities who are willing to support the human spaceflight cause, donated and pieced together the resources needed for the Pioneer to fly to the universe.

In true human spirit, every package of solid fuel has its place of origin and the name of its donor, and every part of the reactor has the names of laborers, artisans and designers.

Although there are no more than 5,000 crew members flying into the sky, the entire spacecraft is made of the hard work of 4 billion human beings.

The Pioneer descended, returning to the platform from which it had started.

Xu Yang completed his mission, announced that the crew were free to leave, he was no longer their captain, and thanked them for their efforts.

Coming to the bow, Xu Yang saw media personnel from all over the world gathered in the square outside. When the crew of the Pioneer got off the ship, they were immediately snapped up.

"hero!"

"The space heroes are back!"

"The pioneer of mankind!"

"marvelous!"

"Wow! Look! Look!" Reporters, automated video robots and drones kept taking pictures.

Xu Yang felt amused. In the future, these photos will leave a strong mark in history, and many photos will win awards! People will write titles below, such as "a giant leap for mankind", "commemorating the success of the first exoplanet exploration", "remembering the successful mission of the Vanguard spacecraft".

These waving and excited crew members will leave traces in history, and future generations of children will regard them as role models, generate a grand vision of touching the sky from the bottom of their hearts, and inspire the next generation of human beings to venture into the stars.

And in these photos, if the angle is wide enough, Xu Yang standing in the bow of the ship at this moment can be photographed. There is only one shadow through the space alloy glass. This is also in line with his temperament and identity, the shadow behind history, an afterimage of freedom. If people love him, that's fine, if people don't like him, Xu Yang doesn't care.

The interests of the media practitioners are all in the boarding area. Blessed are the crew members who participated in this voyage. Every detail, talk about anecdotes.

There are also tens of thousands of girls who are eagerly looking forward to it. They are very interested and dream of "borrowing a little seed that has been to the starry sky" with these great pilots who have been in space. They have enough containers and collection tools to transport these crew members All their seeds were borrowed. They are like those women in history who personally rewarded heroes and heroes. At this time, they are full of lofty dedication.

The front is full of joy and bustle, and the base will not stop for a while. Xu Cheng, Laila, Pao Pao and Qian Shu also became the subjects of the interview. They each have endless things to say, and it is also a rare honor for them to be interviewed in front of the whole world.

Hearing the footsteps, Xu Yang turned around and saw that Lila had arrived with tears in her eyes. She bypassed all the hustle and bustle and walked alone to find her master.

"Master!" Lila rushed over, with tears in her eyes, "I miss you so much..."

"Why am I not?" Xu Yang picked up Lila and looked at her affectionately, "I can't move a single step without you. When I was wandering in the sea of ​​stars, I always thought that it would be good if I took you with me. But I can't, This planet still needs you."

Lila clung to Xu Yang's chest, closely dependent on him. For him, it was dozens of days, and for her, it was four years of loneliness, just like the four years of emptiness placed in the silent counter after the head was cut off. Lila's heart was full of fear, it seemed that there was no response to what she said, and all her thoughts were also lost.

"Don't... don't go to space anymore, Lila can't bear it..." She tightly grasped Xu Yang's sleeves with both hands.

"No, never again." Xu Yang carried her to the table and kissed her.

"But why don't you go?" Lila sighed, "You still have so many responsibilities."

"I won't go," Xu Yang said, throwing away his coat, "I won't go—because I'm retired."

"Retired?" Lila repeated, as if she didn't understand the meaning of the word.

"I'm officially retiring, and I won't care about worldly affairs. I'll bring four good kids with me, and watch their performance. Xu Cheng is good, Pao Pao cares about others, Qian Shu is smart, Laila Heroic and responsible. It is also suitable for the future world to be entrusted to these good children, I don’t need to work, we can always be together.” Xu Yang looked at Lila.

"Oh...Master..." Lila's eyes were blurred.

In the vicissitudes of life, the elites of the era that constrained them at the beginning have become the dust of history. Lila's vengeance has been avenged. Nilu, who once cut her with an air knife, was thrown from the top of the Kalifa Minaret by Pan Ruiyi; Lake Electronics is now also dismembered and auctioned off, and its assets are sent around the world, just like when the company dismantled Lila Nistor. The Nisto company named after her is now the number one in the world, and its status is unshakable.

And what about Xu Yang? "Tiangong" ai was announced by him personally because it did not meet the standards of the times. In the past, ai optimized him. Now he has developed a more advanced algorithm and optimized ai. He personally sealed "Tiangong" and threw it into the garbage dump of history. , he didn't even bother to look at it much. Gaoge Kyushu has become an ordinary company, and many subsidiaries were acquired by Lu Jing and Tianshu Zhiwu supported by Xu Yang. The company that once enslaved him is now living in Xu Yang's shadow. Xu Yang also reformed all the schools for company employees, so that the children in his hometown can study without the diversion strategy, and no one needs to be a cow or a horse anymore.

Looking at each other, they all feel that all this is precious. Even Proxima Centauri-b, which is 4.5 light-years away, is put into a pocket like a glass bead, demonstrating the impeccable technical strength of human civilization.

Whether retirement is good or bad, it represents the ebb of an era, and the future should be handed over to younger and more creative people.

Xu Yang kissed Lila's forehead.

"Falosa is in retreat." Lila said hastily.

"Okay." Xu Yang pulled the curtains.

Four hundred times, to pay off all four years.
