Scholar's Cultivation System Panel

The entire Alliance First Fleet set off from the earth, passed by the moon and Mars, and finally returned to complete its mission, bringing a successful conclusion to this ultra-high-standard global military parade.

At the same time, it also makes the people deeply aware of their own strength, and the sense of civilized pride is stronger and more cohesive.

After Xu Yun completed this task, he continued to devote himself to the front line of scientific research.

Develop new technologies.

This is to ensure that science and technology can keep up with the development of civilization.

The more you are immersed in something, the faster time usually passes.

Twenty years passed before I knew it.

During these years, Xu Yun took the lead in building a new warship manufacturing base and maintenance base.

This greatly increases the speed of warship production.

So far, the Human Space Security Alliance has established the Alliance's Second Fleet and Third Fleet.

The total number of warships owned exceeds fifty.

The development and utilization of lunar resources has entered a mature and stable stage, which can ensure the demand for fuel for nuclear fusion reactions.

In addition, the alliance has also officially opened starship tickets. By purchasing tickets, you can take a warship to travel to the moon and Mars, especially entering the Mars city to experience a life different from that on earth.

Yes.

After twenty years of development, Mars City has not further expanded its scale and issued new resident quotas, but it has opened up entry rights to others and created an alternative tourism industry.

It can be said that Mars City is already quite prosperous now.

At the same time, it was precisely because of the residents of Mars City that the Spark Project went very smoothly.

So far, the factories built on Mars have successfully raised the temperature of Mars by emitting greenhouse gases, basically reaching the originally expected range.

The permafrost on Mars begins to melt and release carbon dioxide.

In a way, this is equivalent to the successful completion of the first phase of the Spark project.

Although the hope that Mars can truly have life living and breathing freely is still far away, the entire scientific community is still extremely happy and excited about this news.

Simply because it was much earlier than expected.

What's more worth mentioning is that Xu Yun led a team of scientists to successfully conquer the hibernation chamber.

This allows the crew to speed up by sleeping autonomously when performing long-term missions in space.

Avoid being mentally disturbed by staying on a battleship for a long time.

This technological breakthrough has also given human civilization the ability to conduct long-distance interstellar navigation.

The importance is self-evident.

At present, all warships of the newly established Third Fleet of the Alliance are equipped with this kind of sleeping cabin.

It can be called the ace in the fleet of human civilization.

at the same time.

In the independent office of the members of the Earth Alliance headquarters, the silver-haired Xu Yun sat on the sofa and made tea by himself. Opposite him was the older Academician Zhou Mingwei.

Xu Yun is seventy years old this year.

Normally, the retirement age has long been exceeded.

But because he was worried about retaining the project and the alliance, he still held the position of chief scientist of the alliance.

and Honorary Member of the Alliance for Life.

But maybe because of the active medicine he had used before, he felt that he was in good health.

At least much better than other peers.

Precisely because of my youthful mentality, even though my hair gradually turned silver, I didn’t dye it on purpose.

"Your tea-making skills are getting better and better. I don't know how many more times I can drink it." Zhou Mingwei lifted the tea cup in front of him and put it to his mouth. After taking a sip, he said to Xu Yun with a smile.

He is already ninety years old and has long since retired as an old man.

At this age, it is basically possible to die at any time, and you can only see your old friends once or less.

So even if his legs and feet started to feel a little inconvenient, he would still find time to meet Xu Yun, Zhang Feng and others.

When Xu Yun heard these words, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

Although humans have conquered various major diseases and greatly increased the average life span of residents.

But at ninety-one hundred, he still couldn't escape the deadline.

From this point of view, what Zhou Mingwei said is not wrong at all.

Perhaps because he didn't want to talk about such a sad topic, Xu Yun immediately changed the topic and said half-jokingly: "When the projects I have been working on in the past two years are over, I should consider retiring and enjoying my old age."

There is nothing false about what he said.

His son Xu Ziyan fell in love and got married freely in school, and now his grandchildren are quite old.

And Xu Ziyan has indeed fulfilled his promise. Now he and his wife have been living on Mars for a long time and are responsible for the Mars transformation project.

He and Chen Shihe take care of their grandchildren.

However, the eldest daughter Xu Ningxuan still has not chosen to get married.

Almost all the energy is devoted to the company.

Because of this matter, Chen Shihe talked a lot and introduced her blind date like other parents.

Unfortunately, the results did not change.

Xu Yun was quite open-minded about this.

As the saying goes, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Sometimes you can only choose to obey your children's ideas.

When Zhou Mingwei heard that Xu Yun was also retiring, a smile appeared on his face and he waved his hands repeatedly.

"I don't believe you want to retire. The Alliance alone shouldn't be willing to let him go, right?"

Although civilization has developed rapidly in recent years, it has promoted educational reforms and trained many outstanding scientists for the alliance.

But no one can compare with Xu Yun.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Yun is now like a spiritual symbol of human civilization. Under such circumstances, it is completely normal for the alliance to be reluctant to release him.

Xu Yun seemed to have thought of something when he heard this, and the next second he took the initiative to end the topic.

"We won't talk about this today. How is Lao Zhang doing lately?"

"he."

"It's difficult to go to the fields now." Zhou Mingwei said sympathetically when Xu Yun mentioned Zhang Feng.

The two of them are about the same age, and he is relatively lucky to be able to walk on the ground now.

After all, they both have bodies in their nineties, so who can be any better?

"I'll go see him another day." Xu Yun naturally knew Zhang Feng's situation, so he paused and responded.

While the two of them continued to drink tea, they heard a sudden knock on the door outside the office.

"Please come in."

As Xu Yun finished speaking, a man wearing blue scientific research overalls opened the door and walked in. He was about forty years old and wore a pair of glasses, but he looked elegant.

Xu Yun and Zhou Mingwei were obviously very familiar with the visitor. They raised their eyes and immediately said hello.

"Xiao Liu is here, sit down and drink tea together."

"Would you like to have a cup?" Xu Yun gestured to the teapot in his hand and said.

Xu Yun is relatively satisfied with the scientist in front of him. As his deputy, it can be said that he single-handedly promoted him and stayed by his side to train and teach him.

And the other party's performance did not disappoint him.

As he grows older, he will ask others to do many things.

Give the other person a chance to grow.

However, when Liu Rui faced the invitation from Zhou Mingwei and his teacher, he did not sit down to taste the tea. Instead, he quickly walked forward a few steps and said to Xu Yun seriously:

"Teacher, there is a situation at the control center and I want you to get there as soon as possible."

"Is there a situation?" Xu Yun was quite surprised.

The control center monitors all warships and space equipment, and no changes will occur under normal circumstances.

Unless there is an early warning of a problem on the warship, the center will take it seriously.

You can handle some small things on your own, and you won't be able to report them to him at all.

But now the control center is eager to let him pass. This is obviously not an ordinary situation.

It's just that he is more aware of the situation of the warships currently in service in the alliance. They are not yet approaching the end of their service life, so there should be no serious accidents.

His brain turned around quickly, and when he saw that he had no clue, Xu Yun stopped wasting time.

"Then I'll go over and take a look at the situation. You can drink here first."

"Go and get busy."

He stood up and said something to Zhou Mingwei, then followed Liu Rui to the control center hall.

Zhou Mingwei looked at Xu Yun's back until his figure completely disappeared from sight, then he turned around again.

He was already used to this.

You must know that he knows Xu Yun's situation best. Although he is now seventy years old, he still doesn't have many relaxed moments.

The new team of scientists still needs to ask Xu Yun for advice when facing unsolvable problems.

Therefore, Xu Yun's status in the alliance is also rising.

——

Xu Yun and Liu Rui quickly arrived at the control center hall. As soon as they walked in, they found that the people in the entire hall seemed very busy, and they could see many people running back and forth.

So when he saw this, he could no longer suppress his curiosity and immediately asked the person in charge here about the situation.

"what happened?"

"Mr. Xu, you're finally here." When the person in charge heard the sound and looked up to see Xu Yun, he immediately seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly came over to greet him respectfully.

Xu Yun is basically used to the honorific title of Mr. Xu.

Everyone in the Alliance Academy of Sciences has become his junior.

There is nothing we can do about it.

"Tell me the details clearly." Xu Yun didn't have the patience to chat with the other party about irrelevant topics, so he immediately asked straight to the point.

At this time, the person in charge naturally did not dare to hide anything.

Even if there is a report on what happened.

"That's right, Mr. Xu, we just detected the signal of the aircraft outside the solar system."

"Aircraft signal?"

After Xu Yun understood the situation, he was startled at first, and then a surge of joy emerged in his heart.

Calculating the time, if the Voyager 3 mission goes well, it should return to the solar system according to its original route.

Now that a signal has been detected in the outer reaches of the solar system, it means it is probably Voyager 3.

You must know that the earth has lost contact with Voyager 3 for a long time.

No one knows whether Voyager 3 is still operating and whether it can complete the mission assigned to it by human civilization.

This matter is also Xu Yun's biggest concern.

I didn't expect that I would be so lucky to witness the return of Voyager 3 from Proxima Centauri in my lifetime.

The thought stayed here, and he could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart.

He quickly asked the other party: "Have you established contact with the other party and confirmed its identity?"

"Not yet." The person in charge replied guiltily, and then questioned in a low voice: "Because according to the scheduled time, Voyager 3 should not have returned to the solar system."

When Voyager 3 set sail, careful calculations were made, and the approximate time for normal return was basically determined.

Now that signals are being detected in the outer reaches of the solar system, the time is indeed a bit off.

And if the detected signal does not belong to Voyager 3, it means that it is most likely an alien spacecraft, so it is definitely not easy to establish contact without knowing the purpose of the other party.

When Xu Yun heard this, he guessed the other party's worries without even thinking.

But what the other party didn't know was that in an environment like a strange universe, it was normal for Voyager 3 to return early or late.

In addition, it is just an aircraft. Even if it is really an alien spacecraft, with the strength of mankind's current fleet, there is no need to worry at all.

So he had nothing to worry about and directly issued the execution order.

"Try to establish contact and determine the identity of this aircraft as soon as possible."

"I personally think that it is more likely that it is Voyager 3. In addition, we have arranged for the third fleet to go to the outer reaches of the solar system to be on standby and be ready for combat at any time." In the end, Xu Yun made one more arrangement out of insurance.

Once a formal order is issued, the other party will definitely not say anything more and will even implement it in detail.

"It's Mr. Xu, I'll make arrangements right now."

At this time, Liu Rui next to him couldn't help but asked: "Teacher, what do you think is the probability that this unidentified aircraft is Voyager 3?"

When Voyager 3 set sail that year, he had not yet entered the Alliance Academy of Sciences to engage in project research, so he did not know much about the relatively confidential situation.

But as a scientist, I definitely hope that Voyager 3 can really bring back information from Proxima Centauri.

This is crucial for the study of extraterrestrial galaxies.

Xu Yun knew very well what Liu Rui was thinking. He raised his eyes and glanced at the other party before saying in a gentle tone: "I hope it is Voyager 3. After all, this is my last chance to study Proxima Centauri. If I complete this There’s really no regrets about that.”

"I also think there is a high probability that it is Voyager 3. As long as we establish a connection here, we can quickly determine the identity." Liu Rui nodded immediately after hearing this.

that's all.

The two of them did not leave for the next time.

Always stay in the hall and wait for the final results to come out.

As for the Third Fleet, which received the order, it immediately set off at full speed to the outer reaches of the solar system.

In this way, even if it is determined to be an alien spacecraft, it can be controlled or eliminated in the shortest possible time to prevent the impact of the battle from spreading to Mars, the Moon, and even the Earth.

As time went by, while Xu Yun and Liu Rui were waiting patiently, an excited voice suddenly sounded in the hall, which immediately attracted their attention.

"Is it confirmed?"

"Good news, Mr. Xu, your judgment is absolutely correct. We just received the message from the other party and can confirm that this is our Traveler No. 3." Before Xu Yun got up to ask, the person in charge had already walked over. He explained the situation without hiding the excitement on his face.

At this time, Xu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile on his face: "Announce the news so that everyone can prepare to welcome our great hero."
