Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1882 You Are the Fire

The huge building in the distance, like a majestic mountain, was exactly the same as the ancestral furnace in their deep memories. No one would fail to recognize this magnificent building. But they never thought that they would be able to see another ancestral furnace in another world.

“Could it be that their world was destroyed because the Ancestral Furnace went out, which led to the arrival of the Winter Witch and the freezing of everyone?” Anna couldn’t help but whisper.

Although the little girl was just guessing, this guess was indeed true to some extent. It was because the nuclear reactor finally shut down that the whole world fell into a cold and dead silence.

Lan Nuo took out a radiation detection device and probed the nuclear reactor in the distance for a while before saying, "Come with me in. There is no radiation in here. Don't worry about any danger after you go in."

Although everyone was a little scared, Lan Nuo, as someone who had personally entered the ancestral furnace and came out alive, was quite convincing when he said that there was no danger here.

Lan Nuo had explored a nuclear reactor before, so he was very familiar with the structure inside. He led everyone to the central control room with ease.

The nuclear reactor here is relatively well preserved. Because it has not needed high-power operation for many years, it only needs to maintain the most basic electricity. There has been no nuclear leakage. The overall preservation condition is much better than the spaceship where the survivors live.

After everyone worked together to pry open the valve in the main control room with a jack, a dazzling control panel appeared in front of everyone. Opposite the control panel, on a huge high-back chair, sat a majestic old man who looked about 60 years old and was covered with frost. He was wearing a commander's uniform and was still sitting upright at the moment of his death. On his chest were many medals of honor and strange emblems, indicating that he was an extraordinary person. Although the old man was dead, the expression on his face was still majestic without anger. His eyes were even wide open. There seemed to be a trace of fire hidden deep in his cloudy and cracked eyeballs. Thousands of years of ice did not make the old man lose his momentum. Instead, it was like an old and strong sword, along with its steel breath, was sealed until today.

Lan Nuo looked at the old man and found a card in his palm. Having explored another nuclear reactor before, he knew that this was the key to start the spacecraft's main engine.

Carefully taking the card out from between the old man's fingers, Lan Nuo inserted it into the host. Then everyone saw the indicator lights on the device light up one by one, and the students who touched the wall or the ground could feel a slight vibration.

The system started to restart and self-check, and lines of subtitles popped up on the screen. The students who followed gathered behind the screen and looked at the content curiously. They knew every word on it, but they had no idea what it meant when they were put together.

As the system self-check progressed quickly, an urgent alarm came from the spacecraft.

"Serious failure! The city's ecosystem is shut down! Serious failure! The city's ecosystem is shut down! Operators above level 2 must immediately return to their posts. Operators above level 2 must immediately return to their posts..."

"Fatal error, the core water circulation purification unit was not found..."

"Fatal error. The thermostat controller and related servo units were not found..." "Fatal error. There is no signal from the keel mechanical compartment from B-2 to C-12..."

"More than half of the important facilities have been dismantled... The life support system of this ship has been reduced to an empty shell." Lan Nuo had already guessed what happened when he saw the last dinner, but he still couldn't help but sigh at how tenacious civilization can be in order to survive.

Lan Nuo was about to try to operate and retrieve more navigation logs when a video suddenly popped up on the main control screen. The video was of the old man sitting on the chair next to them.

"...Information code... Forget it, this is Qun Luan, Lord Gorn Hiren is recording this. All shutdown commands have entered the countdown, and it is expected that the ecosystem of this ship will shut down in ten minutes. Now repeat the previously agreed distribution plan: the atmosphere circulation pump is allocated to the Long Night, the atmosphere storage facility is allocated to the Eversong, the thermostat and its servo unit are allocated to the Daytime, and the water circulation purification unit and all mechanical compartments are dedicated to our king. May he and his Throne ship be healthy forever. According to the plan, I have blown "gas" into the atmosphere circulation pump, so please wait 24 hours after this message is sent until the purification pump completes the filtration and recycling of the atmosphere... Hehe..."

"The propulsion unit of this ship will be retained and will continue to follow the fleet until all systems are completely destroyed. I now declare in the name of the Lord of the Mountains, Grand Duke Gorn Hiron: After my death, all the property of this ship will be returned to our great kingdom, including the propulsion unit, the core reactor, and everything inside the hull. If the kingdom encounters a disaster, please dismantle... uh... dismantle the remaining components of this ship. To our king, the message ends."

Although Anna and the other students were not quite sure what had happened, they couldn't help but feel a lump in their throats when they saw the tired old man struggling to record the video.

"What you have seen is history that once happened. There was once such a respectable lord who contributed all the resources in his world just for the survival of civilization.

  And we are the ones who inherited these resources. Do you know why you have been able to survive in ignorance for thousands of years?

That is because the owners of these spaceships, one after another, have contributed everything, including their own lives. You have inherited all their hopes, so no matter what, you must survive and rekindle the flame of civilization!"

Anna and the other students could not help but feel that they were suddenly burdened with an extremely heavy mission. They still remembered the spaceships they had seen through the telescopes before. Perhaps there were also frozen bodies on those spaceships. Perhaps they had also contributed everything they had to the survival of civilization.

However, they, who inherited all this, lived in a daze and ignorance for thousands of years. When they thought that their own survival and that of their ancestors were all built on the sacrifices of countless people, they felt a heavy mission on their shoulders.

If they, who inherited the hopes of the entire fleet, cannot continue civilization, how can they be worthy of these self-sacrificing ancestors?
