To my frozen hometown

Chapter 86 Our goal is the sea of ​​stars

"You should also be very clear, even if you find a suitable planetary belt, people will not be able to create a spaceship that can carry out that plan, let alone take everyone into space."

Looking at the old man, Liu Yuan's voice was calm and sincere, because she knew what she said was a fact, a fact that no one can evade.

This made the atmosphere at the table seem a little heavy.

Although Al didn't know what interstellar voyage was or what space was, she still roughly understood what Liuyuan wanted to express.

So, is this all pointless?

Looking at the food on the plate in front of her, Al lowered her eyes slightly. She rarely felt that Liu Yuan was cruel, so that she belittled others' persistence for so many years.

However, how could the old man not understand what Liu Yuan said.

"Heh." A moment later, the gentle old man should have laughed again. The wrinkles on his face stretched out, but they seemed to be deeper and more obvious, as if the years had been harsh on him.

"Yes." The old man nodded slightly: "I understand what you said."

"But the problem people are facing now is no longer the coldness on this ice sheet."

So what are they facing.

The old man knew this, and seeing the old man's eyes gradually sinking, Liu Yuan seemed to have reacted.

"There are fewer and fewer resources on the ice sheet, but people can't exploit the deep resources at all, and they don't even know whether there are deep resources."

The old man said, lowered his eyes, and stirred a cup of coffee on the table.

"People today have lost too much courage to explore. They no longer yearn for the sky, the ocean, or even any place other than the greenhouse. They know that sooner or later the resources will be exhausted and the greenhouse will decline, but the big Most people still dare not choose to resist, but choose to wait for that day to come."

"This is the biggest problem facing people right now. No one wants to be that explorer anymore."

"However, human beings need explorers." Lifting the coffee in his hand to his mouth, the old man raised his head and looked at Liuyuan quietly.

"They are the cornerstone of civilization and progress, they are the possibility of the continuation of the race, they are the unknown pioneers before countless greatness."

"So, I want to be such an explorer."

The old man took a sip of coffee slowly, his expression was leisurely, with a trace of insipidity, as if he was just talking about an insignificant matter at this time.

It seems that he didn't spend a full 30 years doing a research that has no results because of such a fluffy remark.

Only the white hair on his head was silently narrating all the things he had experienced so far, and his determination that had never wavered.

"I'm going to try to take the first step, maybe it won't make sense, but it might be a direction, it will tell people once again the greatness of our civilization. It will point a way, and this way , will lead to the end of the 'world', it will connect the stars in the entire sky together, and become the route for human beings to advance."

"I want to prove to people that we are a great race, I want to prove to people that we can't stop here, we have a long way to go."

Having said that, the old man stopped talking. He drank his coffee and began to enjoy his breakfast.

And Liu Yuan finally understood what he meant.

What he wants to start is not a human evacuation plan at all, but an era of navigation called Interstellar.

What he has to do is not to survive at all, but to conquer.

This is such an absurd idea. When human civilization is even difficult to continue, there are still people thinking about how to make it reach the starry sky and carry out a magnificent evolution.

It's like a beggar who doesn't have enough to eat, but is still thinking about how to conquer the world.

It's ridiculous, but it can't make people laugh.

Because behind the old man's calm tone, he has already devoted countless days and nights.

He is using his actions to find the path that people no longer dare to imagine.

Does this make sense? Thinking about Liu Yuan's question, the old man put a piece of fruit into his mouth.

There will be, if it can awaken the once fearless pack.

People at that time will be able to proudly say the words of that great man.

I come, I see, I conquer.

It will not be an evacuation, but a voyage for an expedition.

Human beings will once again stand under the starry sky, looking up at the end of the universe.

It cannot be denied that Azttod was a gentle old man.

But it is also undeniable that he also has a heart that is still surging.

······

After breakfast, the old man took Liuyuan and Al to the ecological area on the first floor again.

He was going to introduce the two of their work for the next ten days, which was to take care of these flowers and plants.

"Here is the grassy area, mainly planting some herbaceous plants and low woody plants. There is no root and rhizoid area, mainly cultivating some aquatic plants and parasitic plants. And you may be more interested In the food area, there are mostly biennial plants and some perennial plants."

"Among them, what you need to pay attention to is the vegetation area and the food area. Because I used to take care of this area alone, so the classification is relatively random. You'd better get familiar with it later..."

In the aisle of the garden hall, the old man walked in front, familiarly telling the two about the characteristics of each type of plant and the things that need attention.

Liu Yuan followed behind him, not listening attentively, but he still listened to something.

And Al looked around, everything here was new to her, and after knowing that there was no danger, she emboldened her courage to follow in.Look here, smell there, there is no staff at all.

Fortunately, the old man didn't care about this, and just smiled and led them to move on.

To be honest, he was quite happy, because his life hadn't been this lively for a long time.

This is a lonely and vast ice field, and everyone's encounter is a kind of luck.

He has always thought so, but unfortunately, he is usually not a very lucky person.
