Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

After Mo Dao woke up from hibernation this time, he had to recuperate for a month.

Even after the recuperation period ended, Mo Dao's physical condition had not returned to the state before hibernation.

The traces of old age have clearly appeared on Mo Dao's body.

His steps inevitably became more staggering, and his energy was even worse than before hibernation began.

Under this situation, even if Mo Dao's thoughts were clear, the limit of his energy could not support Mo Dao's in-depth and continuous thinking on some difficult scientific research issues as before.

It can be said that after waking up from this hibernation,

Mo Dao's physical condition was actually approaching the end of this life.

And in the month after Mo Dao woke up from hibernation,

In the Quest spacecraft, other researchers who entered hibernation at different times have basically woken up from hibernation.

Due to the physical conditions of different researchers, after waking up from hibernation and spending the rest period,

Each researcher's physical condition recovers differently.

Some researchers are in a similar state to Mo Dao. Although they have woken up, their bodies are severely damaged and their life expectancy has been shortened a lot.

There are also some relatively younger researchers whose physical condition is not bad.

And no matter what,

On the voyage spacecraft, after all the researchers woke up from hibernation,

On the long-distance ship, it was rarely more lively.

…

After all fellows have returned from their recuperation period,

On the spacecraft, all the researchers held a celebration banquet on the voyage spacecraft.

at the banquet,

Grains, vegetables, and poultry produced from the three-dimensional farm area on the voyage spacecraft,

The cooking by the intelligent robot turned into dishes familiar to the researchers.

During the dinner, almost no one among the researchers drank.

But after eating these meals, I still don’t feel drunk.

Many researchers are a little hazy-eyed.

In this moment, under this scene,

Many researchers have a lot to say.

After the celebration party began,

First, the whole place fell silent.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Mo Dao, hoping that Mo Dao would say something first.

"Researchers from the Qisu Research Institute, please look for the passengers on the Qisu Voyage Spaceship."

"After a journey of more than fifty-four years, we have arrived at Proxima Centauri."

“The ultimate goal set since the founding of Qiusuo Research Institute has been achieved at this moment.”

Mo Dao's words were quite calm, like an announcement or just stating an ordinary fact.

He said this to a group of researchers.

Reaching Proxima Centauri is a lofty goal,

It is Mo Dao's life goal, the goal of the Research Institute in this life, and even the goal of the entire human civilization.

At this moment, Mo Dao, as the founder of the Qiusuo Research Institute and the person in charge of the Qiusuo Voyage Plan,

It was completely announced that this long-lasting voyage plan finally reached its successful end at this moment.

Every researcher here at the Distance Exploration Institute begins to pursue this ultimate goal.

It's been a long time.

For Mo Dao, this time will be much longer.

After Mo Dao's words,

Finally, at the celebration banquet,

What the researchers wanted to say started to come out.

"Proxima Centauri, it's here... He or she is finally here!"

"Ha ha……"

Some were excited, some were excited, and some had mixed emotions and tears in their eyes.

Cheers began to ring in the Quest voyage spaceship,

Although they are a bit older, their old bodies cannot suppress their excited emotions at this moment.

This emotion contains too many things,

They have been waiting for this moment for too long.

The fact that they arrived at Proxima Centauri already has a complex and profound meaning to the entire Quest Institute.

Under the leadership of Chief Master Mo and with the participation of each of them,

Qiusuo Research Institute spans three eras,

From the era of controllable nuclear fusion to the era of intelligence, from the era of intelligence to the ultimate era of voyages.

When the original world could not achieve the voyage goal,

Under the leadership of Chief Master Mo, they created a more powerful world and era.

They jointly created a great Quest Research Institute and then built this equally great Quest voyage spaceship.

Finally, this greater voyage goal was achieved.

They were riding the Qisuo voyage spacecraft named after the Qisuo Research Institute,

Arrived at Proxima Centauri.

Human beings have the ability to travel light-year distances.

The boundaries of the territories that humans have set foot on extend from the solar system to the Proxima Centauri star system as they advance.

A more powerful human civilization spanning several planetary systems will be born after them.

This may be an unavoidable feat in the history of human civilization for a long time to come.

More researchers shed tears,

Then many people hurriedly picked up some food and put it in their mouths, trying to suppress their emotions.

In the end, I found that the more this happened, the more tears I shed, and in the end I stopped suppressing it at all.

Just hugging each other, putting their shoulders on each other, shouting, and venting their emotions,

Then, they began to discuss with great interest the research, exploration and development of the Proxima Centauri star system they had arrived at.

This banquet lasted very late that night.

Mo Dao also accompanied the researchers and sat here until the end.

From time to time, I would respond with a smile to some remarks from some research institutes.

Miss Qin Huaishi sat beside Mo Dao and stayed with him.

…

A month after the celebratory dinner,

Inside the Quest spacecraft, all the researchers seemed to be a little excited and excited.

Even if there are still many things about the Qiuzou No. that have not yet been determined,

All the researchers are still happy about this moment.

However, during this month,

Although no one is still in the recuperation period,

But the core researchers and ordinary researchers from Mo Dao on down do not have too many research tasks arranged.

We are just conducting some basic observations and explorations on Proxima Centauri b and other surrounding planets where the Quest voyage spacecraft is currently staying.

…

A small square and small park on the edge of Qiusuo's living area.

These days, when I have free time, there are many people sitting on a bench in this small park.

The biggest reason is that there is a large transparent porthole above the small park.

At this time, with conscious adjustment, the transparent porthole was aligned in the direction of Proxima Centauri.

You can see the star directly through the porthole.

These days, Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi would also come and sit in the small park here during the afternoon during the spaceship simulation time.

Let’s just talk about some daily things and take a look at the star that is of special significance to the Research Institute.

"Would you like to take a rest?"

Mo Dao, my old body often has trouble connecting even when taking a walk.

Qin Huaishi, who was supporting each other with Mo Dao, asked Mo Dao warmly.

Mo Dao nodded and agreed.

The two of them also sat down on the bench next to them.

There was no rush to speak,

Mo Dao raised his head and looked at the star named Proxima Centauri.

Miss Qin Huaishi also followed Mo Dao's gaze and looked over.

As Mo Dao mentioned many times,

Proxima Centauri itself does not actually have any special place in the universe.

Even in the three-star system where it is located, it is actually quite common in the universe.

In comparison, single star systems like the solar system may be relatively rare.

Looking from where the Inquiry spacecraft is at the moment,

Proxima Centauri does not look that bright, and is dim in color.

The size is also much smaller than the sun as seen from Earth.

The only special thing may be that it is on the edge of the solar system.
