I am a great scientist

Chapter 576 Desire to Return ([-])
The deep and deep universe, the vast starry sky, dotted with stars, each bright spot, after being magnified thousands of times, becomes a huge galaxy containing hundreds of billions of stars.

Zhou Yu stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, staring blankly at the vast space, his resolute face showed an indelible tiredness and longing.

A curling figure walked slowly behind Zhou Yu, wrapped his hands around his body, and hugged his back tightly.

"Yu, I often see you standing here in a daze recently. If you want to go back so much, we can leave immediately!" The woman put her head on Zhou Yu's strong back and comforted her softly.

With a familiar smell, Zhou Yu knew that his wife Lin Xiurong had come without looking back.

Zhou Yu didn't look back, and sighed faintly: "No! We have already established a foundation in this universe, and it is difficult to go back."

Zhou Yu sighed heavily, and continued: "The number of exploration spaceships sent by Dad is too large. Their footprints are all over the many star fields in every universe, and they are bound to provoke countless civilizations. Once we take the initiative to contact them, they will definitely attract other civilizations." Peeping, you have to take a lot of risk to go back."

"Don't be so pessimistic, okay! There must be other ways. Isn't it what you've been looking forward to to return to your home planet? Now that we finally have a clue, do you want to give up?" Lin Xiurong turned and walked to Zhou Yu, looking straight at him ask.

"Me!..." Zhou Yu opened his mouth with a complicated expression, and didn't know how to reply for a moment.

Is it the fear of threats from other unknown civilizations, the reluctance to give up life in this universe, or the fear that the only clue is ineffective,... In short, it is a kind of cowardly feeling close to home, and more than 200 years of hope and fear of failure, Zhou Yu couldn't calmly face the complex emotions mixed together.

"At the beginning, we stayed away from the mother planet to carry out the Ark project. After so many years, aren't you curious about the situation on the mother planet? If there were no accidents, our relatives should still be alive. You don't want to be here Will I see them in my lifetime?" Lin Xiurong looked at her husband and asked a series of questions, pointing to the deep corners of Zhou Yu's heart.

"Then what should I do, let me leave more than a billion compatriots alone?" Zhou Yu said helplessly with a struggling face.

"For so many years, you have done enough. You have carried this burden for so many years. They should not be your shackles. You have a life you yearn for, and you have unfulfilled dreams. Do you live by yourself?" Lin Xiurong looked at Zhou Yu in pain and asked excitedly.

Ever since she learned the clues of her return, Lin Xiurong could often see Zhou Yu alone, frowning in a daze, with a dazed expression, completely different from his previous calmness. As his wife, she naturally knew that it was because what.

After the arrival of the Panshi in this strange universe, Zhou Yu has been conscientiously leading mankind to survive in this universe, defeating planetary behemoths, and vigorously developing interstellar colonies. In just 200 years, human civilization with a population of only tens of thousands, It has grown to a population of more than one billion, and the difficulties it has experienced are beyond everyone's imagination.

Now, after getting the clues to return to his mother planet, Zhou Yu suppressed his longing for his mother planet and his relatives because he was worried about the safety of human beings, and continued to think about the entire human civilization.

Lin Xiurong couldn't bear to watch her husband look so out of his mind all day long.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu was shocked all over his body, and his originally gloomy eyes suddenly became brighter. He has always yearned for a free life in the interstellar world, and he has longed for the dream of traveling in the universe since he was a child...

"Is it ok! Can I leave!" Zhou Yu murmured to himself.

"Of course, the 'Tinder' plan has been perfectly implemented, right? Now they are on the right track, even if we leave, they can continue to develop normally!" Lin Xiurong looked at Zhou Yu and nodded seriously.

Zhou Yu showed a sudden look, opened his arms, hugged Lin Xiurong tightly, and thanked excitedly: "Thank you, thank you! I know what to do!"

After contemplating, Zhou Yu's complexion changed, and his whole body became radiant and full of energy.

The next day, Zhou Yu immediately convened the high-level political core to discuss the election of his successor and the organization of the exploration fleet to return to the home planet, which caused a huge disturbance. The meeting was chaotic on the spot, and countless people persuaded him to give up this idea.

"Commander, it's too dangerous to explore the return route from the home planet, you don't have to do it yourself!"

"Commander, after so many years, we are used to your decision, no one can take your place..."

"Yes! Commander, we are now in a transitional stage of high technological development. Once you leave, it will soon cause huge turmoil, which will interrupt this rare time!"

……

As soon as Zhou Yu's decision was announced, it immediately aroused fierce opposition from the crowd.

In an unfamiliar universe, the development of human civilization so quickly and smoothly is nothing more than Zhou Yu's greatest contribution. In more than 200 years, relying on his personal prestige, he has maintained a relatively unified political structure.

Once Zhou Yu left, in the absence of foreign enemies, because of conflicts and contradictions of internal interests, several interstellar colonies, whether human civilization could continue to maintain a unified political system, this is something that no one can predict.

"Everyone, I've made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me anymore. After all these years, I should take a long vacation!" Zhou Yu said without doubt, scanning everyone's faces.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yu looked at everyone and continued to announce without waiting: "Within three days, you will hand over the list of presidential candidates to me and prepare to implement the election system. Next, we will discuss the formation plan of the exploration ship!"

"Because the risk of exploring the mother planet is not small, the smaller the size of the ship team, the easier it is to act. Therefore, I think what's your opinion on bringing all four generations of 'basalt ships'?" Zhou Yu looked at everyone and asked. .

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and Qi Qi showed helplessness in their eyes. Judging by Zhou Yu's tone, it seemed that his decision could not be reversed.

"Commander, there is still a long way to go for all the fourth-generation 'basalt warships' to be finished, and there are not many of them, or you can wait for a while. In about half a year, we can 'evolve' [-] fourth-generation 'basalt warships'." !” Professor Smith looked at Zhou Yu and replied.

There is an essential difference between the battleship evolution model of biomechanical civilization and the battleship manufacturing model of mechanical civilization.

A biological battleship is a 'living creature', by absorbing 'nutrients' (energy, mineral resources,) by optimizing genes, cell tissue structure, constantly improving the strength and volume of the battleship's 'body', and using various elements to upgrade , the way of expanding the scale can be expanded through individual division, or the way of 'reproduction'.Just like the group of biological battleships used by the Shepherd Clan, the 'growth' time of battleships and the size of individuals are closely related to their combat effectiveness.

The mechanical civilization manufactures warships, and the expansion fleet is through the forging of various mechanical metal materials, upgrading the space dock, manufacturing technology, and the 'technology' technology contained in it, integrating spaceships that incorporate countless technological skills, and then , carry out unlimited homogeneous production, individual combat power, shape, and other parameters have been confirmed before manufacturing, unless the technology replacement of the manufacturing place and the improvement of shipbuilding technology are carried out, and then continue to improve the overall battleship performance.

Different from the shipbuilding process of biological civilization and mechanical civilization, the warships produced by bio-mechanical civilization combine the advantages of both. Bio-mechanical fleets can multiply and split like biological warships, absorb biological elements and mechanical elements, and continue to grow , at the same time, it has the attribute of mechanical civilization, and can optimize the growth of the hull from the inside through the improvement of technology and skills, so as to 'evolve' into a stronger combat power.

"Commander, after absorbing the database of the mother star family, many third-generation 'basalt ships' are constantly being optimized towards the more advanced fourth-generation 'basalt ships'. However, due to time and material supply constraints, within two years About 2% of the fleet can be converted, and the speed will decrease in the later stage." Professor Yang Yi looked at Zhou Yu and introduced.

"Don't bring so many warships, 100 ships is enough for me, concentrate resources on the 'transformation' first, and try to complete it within one month." Zhou Yu gave everyone a pause gesture and ordered.

"One month, in such a hurry, you are too risky!"

"That's right! Although the combat effectiveness of the fourth generation of 'basalt ships' is much higher than that of the third generation, there are only a hundred ships! The number is really too small!"

"Commander, you'd better wait patiently! Contacting the exploration spacecraft will definitely encounter other civilizations. If the fleet is not strong enough, it is easy to encounter danger!"

……

As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, everyone who was taken aback excitedly tried to persuade him.

"No, too many warships will easily attract the attention of other civilizations. Too few are not conducive to interstellar voyages. One hundred ships is not too many, this number is just right, you can arrange it immediately!" Zhou Yu smiled slightly, looking at everyone, ordered firmly.

After hearing the unquestionable meaning in Zhou Yu's words, everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "Obey, Commander!"

The project was confirmed in this way, and Zhou Yu continued to the next topic: "Well, next, let's discuss about personnel adjustments!"

……

Although today's topic is very important, as always, the efficiency is moving very fast.

It was due to Zhou Yu's personal style of dominance. Before the matter was decided, he made precise arrangements. After Zhou Xiaozhi made overall planning and deduction in advance, and after confirming that there was no problem, Zhou Yu would announce it to everyone.

Therefore, relying on the "Tinder" regime established with Zhou Yu as the core, the efficiency of governance has always been very fast, and it is precisely because of this that the human Tinder civilization can gain a firm foothold and develop rapidly in an unfamiliar universe.

……

Time passed bit by bit, and a month passed in a blink of an eye.

In the huge space berthing port, countless small ships gather, millions of them, they surround the giant "Xuanwu" with a body length of nearly [-] kilometers and a diameter, full of reluctant farewell.

Ever since they learned that their commander, Zhou Yu, was going on an interstellar voyage, the entire human society was filled with anxiety and reluctance. On the day when the fleet was about to go on a long journey, the sending team occupied the entire star field near the starport. .

"Dear compatriots, you all know your origins. We bear the hope of other compatriots and sow a 'fire' in this strange universe. Now, we have ignited this 'fire' into a raging fire, and we are starting to fight for the future. Other galaxies are burning, forming a flame that can never be extinguished, I am very happy, I have accomplished this task very well," Zhou Yu stood in front of the podium, and delivered an impassioned farewell speech to everyone.

"I am honored to be the person in charge of the continuation of 'Tinder', leading everyone to open up living space in this strange universe and planet. Now this place has become our home. In the future, when I leave, I hope to do my best to develop , don’t cause any conflicts because of the entanglement of interests. We are in an unknown universe, and there are a large number of unknown civilizations. In order to prevent unknown threats, I hope that you will always be united. Own homeland, . . . ”

"I stand here today, and I will explain one more fact to you. We are from a universe with a galaxy, from the earth. I can never forget where I was born, and I can't forget my family. I hope you can understand my departure. , I also hope you live a good life, and then, wait for me to come back!" Zhou Yu looked at everyone and explained solemnly.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yu turned around and ordered loudly, "Let's go!"

As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, a hundred 'Xuanwu' giant ships slowly slid up.

"Commander, take care all the way!"

"Commander, please remember your promise, you must come back!"

"Commander, you will always be our commander, don't leave us behind!"

"..."

Watching the fleet leave, countless people cried and shouted frantically.

For more than 200 years, the human society ruled by Zhou Yu has made too many achievements. He is their father and their patron saint. Almost everyone has witnessed his contribution to the development of human civilization. If he decisively leaves Going to make countless supporters cry.

The densely packed small fleet chased after reluctantly, just like following the mother's school of fish. However, the fourth-generation Xuanwu fleet continued to accelerate, and the distance between the two sides became farther and farther. In the end, the fourth-generation Xuanwu fleet turned into a little light, In the end, it disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Go! Really go!"

"Without the commander, what shall we do in the future!"

"How could he just abandon us like this!"

"The commander said he would be back, cheer up everyone!"

……

Countless people watched the disappearance of the fourth-generation Xuanwu Fleet, as if they had lost their backbone, and fell into confusion collectively.
