The last human in the universe

Chapter 144 Cremation
The interiors of one space city after another have returned to the vacuum they should have been.Under such circumstances, a large number of discarded devices that are not convenient to destroy directly were thrown into them.

The space city has become a container for these things.

On the outside, a small number of staff directly installed the engines and propellers disassembled from other spacecraft on the space city, making it capable of simple space navigation.

Inside the Yuanhang spacecraft, in the zero-gravity zone, more than 600 million hibernation capsules have been prepared in advance.People took the number plates they received in advance, and under the guidance of the staff, they came to their own hibernation cabins, and then lay down.

When the staff turned on the switch, people quickly fell into a deep sleep under the action of anesthetic gas.Afterwards, the hibernation cabin was activated, and life was temporarily "frozen".

Compared with awake people, people hibernating in the hibernation cabin will obviously occupy a smaller space.

They need no living room, no bedroom, no study, no squares and parks to walk in, no amusement facilities.All they need is a hibernation cabin with a width of no more than 1.5 meters and a length of no more than 2.5 meters.

Arranged in layers, one hibernation room can be placed with four layers of hibernation cabins.There are two rows of hibernation cabins on the first floor, and each row has 5 machines.In this way, a hibernation room can accommodate 40 people.

And the area of ​​a hibernation room is only 60 square meters.To accommodate 660 million people, only about 1000 million square meters are needed.

This is only 10 square kilometers, and the number of layers has not been calculated.If you count the number of layers, the footprint is even smaller.

The remaining space of thousands of cubic kilometers can be used to store materials.

With the rapid increase of the hibernating population, the noisy human civilization in the past has gradually quieted down.

After completing most of the pre-tasks in the plan list, the impact plan finally started.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhao Changxing and the rest of the sober people, hundreds of space cities and tens of thousands of spaceships started to accelerate at different speeds, and began to move towards the distant inner solar system.

Among them, especially the Huozhi spacecraft, Zhao Changxing's mind was aroused.

No matter how long he can live, Zhao Changxing knows that he will never forget the days when he lived alone in the Tinder spaceship, fought alone on the land of Sedna, and raised the children alone.

However, the Tinder spacecraft has completed its mission.It is impossible for Zhao Changxing to let it fall into the hands of the Moyun Litar civilization, so there is only another way to let it stay in the solar system forever.

Of course, all the commemorative items in it were brought by Zhao Changxing to the Yuanhang spacecraft in advance.These things, as long as human civilization exists, will be preserved for a day.

Because this is the foundation of human civilization.As long as there are these things, people will remember where they came from, so that they will not lose their way to the future in the vast space.

Xiaoxi, who used to control the entire Huozhi spacecraft, had her main program completely transplanted into the central computer of the Yuanhang spacecraft, and took control of the entire Yuanhang spacecraft.

In the future journey, it will continue to accompany Zhao Changxing and human civilization.

And it is foreseeable that as the science and technology of human civilization become more and more advanced, and as computer technology becomes more and more advanced, Xiaoxi's ability will also improve accordingly.

Now, Sedna and the surrounding dwarf planets have basically been tidied up and cleaned up.

But there is one last thing left.

During this long journey of thousands of years, human civilization has completed several renewals.New humans will be born and old humans will die.

They each lived a different life.Some followed Zhao Changxing in person and fought all their lives for a planting workshop and a living base, while others stayed with thousands of companions, turned into a screw of civilization, and spent their lives in professional work. life journey.

Now, their remains have all been dug out from the cemetery.Its number even exceeds the number of all living people in existence.

Because there are no microorganisms in the natural environment of Star Sedna, the remains of all of them did not rot.Everyone kept their faces at the moment of death.Their remains have long been frozen by low temperature and are harder than stones on the earth.

It is impossible for Zhao Changxing to let their remains stay here.

Facing the mountain of human remains, Zhao Changxing looked solemn under the space helmet.

Placed in the front row are the remains of the nineteen companions who followed Zhao Changxing to leave the earth and went to Sedna.

They have the same mission as Zhao Changxing.But before they had time to fulfill their mission, they were killed by immature hibernation technology.

Looking at the bodies of the nineteen companions who seemed to be still sleeping, many memories from a long time ago were evoked from the depths of my heart again.

Zhao Changxing gently stroked the faces of each of his companions with his hand in the spacesuit.His palms trembled slightly, and his eyes seemed a little wet, but his expression was always calm, without any fluctuations.

After the remains of these nineteen companions were the corpses of another ten elderly people.

Zhao Ye, Qian Yue, Sun Caiyun, Zheng Yan, Chen Feng...

These were the first batch of children that Zhao Changxing raised with his own hands.

Zhao Changxing's palm also touched their faces one by one.During this process, many thoughts were also recalled.

There is the joy when the No.1 baby is born, the anxiety when the children are sick, the warmth when playing with the children, the blessing when the children get married, the time when the children become old people, and finally die sad...

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed.

"I promised you that one day, I will take you back to Earth. Now, Dad will take you home..."

Zhao Changxing murmured in a low voice, his eyes were full of kindness.

After that, Zhao Changxing's expression became serious again.He turned his head and looked at the people who came with him and came here to dispose of the remains of their predecessors.

"Our civilization is not an illusory concept. Each of us is a part of civilization, and all of us together form our civilization.

Everyone who has ever come to our human civilization, whether this person is the highest-level civilized official, a top scientist, or an industry talent who has made outstanding contributions, or an ordinary person, An ordinary worker, a farmer, a maintenance worker, a soldier, etc., except those who commit serious crimes and are finally put to death by law, all, all, are heroes of our civilization.

To live itself is to contribute to civilization and create value for civilization.

Now, all our predecessors who have dedicated their lives to civilization are here.

Without them, there would be no civilization, no life as we are now, no every single one of us right now, waking or hibernating, nothing.

Now, we... send the seniors home. "

Zhao Changxing turned around, stretched out his arms, and slowly raised them up to the level of his temples.Behind him, all the sober people who followed also saluted this military salute that contained the highest respect.

Even Viragash stretched out his arm with only three tentacles remaining.The descendants of those deep space people also raised their arms.

At this moment, there is no distinction between civilized species.Because all people are part of human civilization and have a human identity.

After this, the grand cremation ceremony begins.

Zhao Changxing personally pushed the remains of his nineteen companions and the first batch of children raised by him into the cremation workshop.For the rest, with the help of many staff and machines, more than 1000 million human remains were quickly turned into boxes of ashes under the high temperature of the fusion cremation furnace.

These urns were also put into the Yuanvoy spacecraft.They will set sail together with the Yuanvoy spacecraft.

When these ashes pass through the earth, Zhao Changxing will spread them all over the earth, so that they will always be with their hometown.

The reason why the ashes were burned instead of being taken away directly was mainly because Zhao Changxing did not want people's remains to fall into the hands of the Moyun Litar civilization.

As for the remains of those who were executed by law for their crimes, Zhao Changxing didn't think too much about it.When the facilities on Sedna were blown up in the early stage, antimatter bombs were used to blow them up.

Because of the direction and fuel saving considerations, the Voyage spacecraft will not leave the solar system from Sedna, but will first enter the inner solar system.

In this way, the mass of Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter can be used to accelerate the Yuanvoy spacecraft to save a lot of fuel.

When passing Jupiter, people living in the Jupiter system will take another spacecraft to meet people.

After that, the Voyager spacecraft will head straight for Earth.After being accelerated by the gravitational force of the earth, it goes straight to the sun, uses the sun to complete the last acceleration, and then leaves the solar system and goes to the distant EZ galaxy of Aquarius.

At this moment, after disposing of the remains of the people and completing the last thing, Zhao Changxing and others also returned to the Yuanhang spacecraft.

In the middle of the three huge internal drums, in the main control room of the entire spaceship, with hundreds of thousands of spaceship maintenance personnel already in place, fully monitoring and preventing any accidents, Zhao Changxing calmly An order was given to Xiaoxi.

"Xiaoxi, set sail."

"Yes, Captain."
