You say you have an iron will, are you serious?

Fantasies about the universe have existed since the birth of mankind.

It doesn’t matter whether there is civilization or not. The moment humans set foot on the earth and looked up at the stars, fantasies about the universe were born.

From ancient times to the present, fantasies about flying, ascending to the stars, going into the universe... etc. have never disappeared, and have been passed down from generation to generation.

After the Industrial Revolution, productivity has experienced explosive growth. What has been created in a few decades far exceeds the sum of the past thousands or even millions of years. Traveling into the universe is no longer a fantasy, but a realistic issue, and an issue that urgently needs to be solved.

Especially after the Second Industrial Revolution, the earth's resources have been unable to bear the burden.

Later, the Russians launched the first artificial satellite of mankind, and America responded with the Apollo moon landing.

In the 1960s and 1970s, people believed that human technology had reached its peak and the next step was to go into the universe and completely break away from the mother earth.

As the country that carried out the Apollo manned moon landing, America has become a beacon for mankind, the embodiment of mankind's hope, and is considered to be the country that can lead mankind to the starry sky.

In that era, the Star Wars movie came out, reflecting America's loneliness and invincibility. The Earth had no rivals, and only alien civilizations could be its opponents.

Various science fiction films that came later were a reflection of this reality.

In that era, including the 1980s and 1990s, people really believed that America had this ability!

However, after the millennium, especially in 2008 when China began to shine and made its mark around the world, America's halo faded step by step and declined at an extremely fast pace, a speed that made people unable to react, resulting in a serious gap between cognition and reality.

It was not until 2014, when Zhao Mo completed controlled nuclear fusion, that cognition and reality were finally reconciled.

America can't even carry humans to the moon, let alone lead them to the starry sky!

It's totally broken!

It is we Chinese who can truly represent humanity and lead humanity towards the starry sky!
Only we Chinese!
In fact, America has always been failing. Regardless of all the frauds or the loss of ideals, the cruel facts have exposed the fact that it is failing.

In fact, we have indeed represented humanity and led humanity towards the starry sky.

Manned lunar landing has been accomplished!

The moon base is complete!

The space shuttle is ready!

Now, we have to start building a spaceship that can travel across the Milky Way~
……

All this has been turned upside down in just twenty-two years since 2008!

In the summer of 2030, a science fiction blockbuster "Galaxy" directed by a young Chinese director was released. It is a popcorn movie with a standard Chinese narrative.

The film begins with a voice-over introduction to China's journey of space exploration, from the two bombs and one satellite to the Tiangong space station, from high-thrust rocket engines to spacecraft, and then to spacecraft. Although it is brief, it sets the tone for the entire film, which is heavy and epic.

Looking back at history, it always gives people a profound epic shock.

There is nothing much to say about the plot of the movie. It is about a thousand years after China led the human race to migrate to the Milky Way, we finally arrived at the center of the Milky Way where the remains of a suspected advanced civilization were located, and then an unexpected accident occurred. After a complex, tortuous, and arduous struggle of the whole nation, we finally won the victory~
At the end of the movie, the producers made a little move and were sentimental. Instead of showing behind-the-scenes footage and subtitles, they listed the great scientists in China's space history and paid tribute to them.

Well, I would also like to thank the great scientist Zhao Mo, who led us to the sea of ​​stars.
After this popcorn movie was released, it immediately became a hit throughout the summer season.

Putting aside the plot, one positive impact it brings is that it allows people to once again review the hardships of our Chinese space journey.

Needless to say, this type of movie once again attracted criticism from many "famous" filmmakers, who said that it was too strong, only talked about China, had no pattern, and did not talk about all of humanity, and so on.

But people with common sense could see at a glance what kind of bullshit these bastards were thinking, so most of them ignored them and just expressed their support by buying movie tickets to watch the movie.

There are still many self-media bloggers who have stood up to criticize these bastards, saying that these people's art may seem trendy, but in fact they are the most backward and decadent. Our country is so highly developed, but their brains are still stuck in the past, their knees are still weak, and they are a bunch of complete bitches!

However, this kind of criticism no longer has much traffic because no one will get emotional about the loser's clamor.

People are more concerned about the movie itself and the imagined remains of a suspected advanced civilization in the movie.

A professional media person commented on the film and concluded: "... Whether it is the previous "The Wandering Earth" or the current "Galaxy", they are all portrayals of our country's advanced science and technology, especially advanced aerospace technology. With advanced aerospace technology, this kind of science fiction film will be sought after by the whole society because it resonates... Finally, I would like to say one more thing. The movie "Galaxy" is still a bit conservative and not sci-fi enough. I don't think Zhao Shen will let us go to the center of the Milky Way after a thousand years."

How long will it take for God Zhao to let us reach the center of the galaxy? This is a question and also a hot topic.

People speculated, some said fifty years, some said thirty years, and some radically said ten years.

But topics are topics. No one knows how many years it will take until it is done. People only know that we have started the two-ship project, and then on the official website, Zhao Mo is in charge again, this time still as the chief designer and chief engineer. Zhao Mo is fully responsible for design and engineering issues.

After seeing the update of the wait-and-see information, people expressed their 120% reassurance and that they were already looking forward to it.

But this time, the time was so long that it was a little hard to believe.

2030 has passed quickly, and the latest progress of the two ship projects is that "everything is going as normal."

The year 2031 has passed quickly, and the latest progress of the two ship projects is still "everything is going as normal."

It was not until 2032, when people had become lukewarm about the topic of the two ship projects, that they suddenly heard the news that Spacecraft No. 01 was completed and successfully completed its maiden flight, and then photos and videos were released.

At this time, the Strategic Research Institute had long since ceased to exist. In the photos and videos taken by CCTV media, Spacecraft No. 01 was as majestic as a mountain!
The space shuttle is big enough, but placed next to Spaceship 01 it looks like a baby that is not even a month old.

People soon became overjoyed.

But after calming down, people discovered that not only did Zhao Mo not show up, but the performance of Spaceship 01 was far from what they imagined, a spaceship that could travel across the universe, or at least across the Milky Way.

Not only is Spaceship 01 incapable of wormhole jumping or space travel, its speed has not even reached the speed of light, but is only one-fifth of the speed of light!

Well, only one-fifth of the speed of light!

I have to say, people's expectations are really high.

You know, the faster the speed, the greater the resistance. There is resistance in the atmosphere and there is resistance in outer space.

Moreover, the faster the speed, the more the mass of the object will expand. The closer it is to the speed of light, the more the mass of the object will expand to infinity, which is almost impossible to achieve.

One fifth of the speed of light, which is 6 kilometers per second, means it runs 6 kilometers in one second.

In this state, the spacecraft has almost reached its limit, and with the support of the dark matter engine, it can continuously extract dark matter from the universe to offset the effect of gravity.

Unfortunately, even though Spacecraft 01 is so powerful, it is useless on the scale of the universe, because on the scale of the universe even the speed of light is no different from the speed of a turtle.

Humans will still be trapped in nearby galaxies, unable to truly traverse the Milky Way, let alone the universe.

So, it is indeed far from people's expectations.

Of course, although I am a little disappointed, I am more happy. With one-fifth of the speed of light, we can go to the neighboring Centaurus and Proxima Centauri, which have an environment similar to that of the Earth.

The era of interstellar migration can really begin!

Especially for Proxima Centauri, if the environment there is really the same as that of the Earth, then it would be worth it for humans to spend 20 to 30 years flying there.

Didn’t you see that after the news came out, real estate-related sectors all over the world suffered a sharp drop?

In addition, people thought that the two ship projects were still in progress and Zhao Shen had not shown up, so they began to look forward to it again.

According to previous official statements, there are two different types of future-oriented spacecraft. The first type of spacecraft is ordinary, so the second type of spacecraft is the spacecraft that they know can travel across the Milky Way and even the universe?
But people didn’t expect that this expectation would be so high that it could not be reduced.

2033 has passed~
2034 has passed~
2035 ~
2036 ~
……

By 2040, many people who were looking forward to it had passed away for various reasons, such as natural disasters, man-made accidents, lifespan, etc.; many young people who had watched the rows of stars in the space transporting supplies since childhood had grown up, and this second type of spacecraft has not yet appeared.

In the fields of science, economy, politics, culture and so on, the older generation has passed away and the new generation has taken over.

There are people and popularity in many places such as the moon, Mars, other planets and satellites, and throughout the solar system.

Zhao Mo's two children have grown up and are making their mark in society.

In ten years, everything has changed.

The Earth is bluer, less crowded, the economy is better, and the world is more peaceful.

The spacecraft that set out for Proxima Centauri and other more distant galaxies have been on the journey for five years. Hope lies in the distance.

But people's greater hope is still the emergence of the second type of spaceship. People are looking forward to the kind of spaceship that can travel across the universe! (End of this chapter)
