The weather today is very good. The heat that has accumulated for the day has dissipated in the previous few hours. There is wind at this moment, but it is not very heavy. It blows on people's faces and makes people feel like the lover's hand is gently stroking himself.￥f.￥f

The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers that were unknown, with twinkling neon lights everywhere, and happy crowds everywhere. It was a very beautiful night, except for the lack of stars in the sky, everything was so perfect.

As the night gradually deepened, the bustling streets slowly became quiet. However, the scientific research department was still brightly lit and crowded.

This is destined to be a sleepless night. Not only Zhao Lan, but also the head of state, many senior officials in the government, and all the staff of the scientific research department are like this. Because tonight is the time for the final implementation of the space blockade plan.

As the countdown number gradually decreased, Zhao Lan's heart also tightened. After checking all the arrangements again and confirming that there were no omissions in all arrangements, Zhao Lan began to wait slowly.

The head of state sat next to Zhao Lan and watched the staff busy. The head of state's expression was very calm, but Zhao Lan could still see the deep worries in the head of state's eyes. Obviously, the head of state never trusted Zhao Lan, even now. If it weren't for the final forced, the head of state would never accept the plan.

Zhao Lan didn't know what the Head of State was thinking, but Zhao Lan knew the pressure on the Head of State at this moment. As the leader of all human beings, the Head of State was about to face his own life, which was also the biggest adventure in the entire process of human civilization. Success or failure was directly related to the life and death of human civilization, and the final result would be revealed in an hour.

The atmosphere in the control hall was tense and serious. All the staff were busy in silence. Even if all the work had been done at this moment, they were still mechanically testing the previous arrangements over and over again. Zhao Lan could understand this behavior, because in this depressing and solemn atmosphere, if you don’t have anything to do, you will always feel very uncomfortable.

The countdown gradually jumped to thirty minutes. At this moment, Zhao Lan stood up and left here quietly.

Zhao Lan left the scientific research department and walked to the street outside. At this moment, there were no pedestrians on the street. In the middle of the night, even in summer, there was a hint of coolness in the wind. Zhao Lan tightened her clothes and walked slowly. Before she knew it, she actually came to Watson Square and came to Zhao Huasheng's huge sculpture.

Zhao Lan raised her head again to observe the sculpture. Zhao Huasheng's expression lasted for hundreds of years. It has not changed since the statue was built until now. The statue is still full of flowers, and Zhao Huasheng's eyes are still calm and distant. Zhao Huasheng kept looking into the distance, as if he was looking at the future of human civilization.

Zhao Lan looked at the statue in a daze, and prayed silently in her heart: "My ancestors, please bless our civilization and bless me too."

Zhao Lan suddenly felt very scared, just like she was afraid of the fictional ghosts or demons when she was a child. But now there is nothing specific to make Zhao Lan feel scared. Zhao Lan looked up at the sky, and then understood in her heart.

"Although I have been working on my plan firmly, I have been actually afraid... I am afraid of failure, afraid of destroying the entire human civilization... Yes, I am afraid."

When I was a child, I could run into my parents' arms when I was scared. So...what is the time to be scared now?

Zhao Lan sat down anywhere under Zhao Huasheng's huge sculpture base, leaning against the base, then hugged her knees with her hands and buried her head in her arms. She was like a bullied little girl. Zhao Lan had long lost her parents and had no relatives to rely on in this world. Although An Liya and the others have become their friends, their emotions are not suitable for confide in them at this moment.

Then... let's talk to Zhao Huasheng, and let's listen to the ancestor who once gave him confidence and warmth.

But Zhao Lan didn't know what to say. Zhao Lan felt a little warmth in her heart, but the fear continued. So Zhao Lan kept looking at the sky, watching, motionless.

Time slipped away bit by bit, Zhao Lan raised her wrist and looked at her watch. It showed that there was still one minute before the final detonation of the hydrogen bomb. After one minute, life or death will be revealed.

Zhao Lan waited for a while and saw a flash of light coming from the extremely distant western sky. The flash flickered in one flash, like a meteor. It lasted only a few seconds. Zhao Lan silently recalled in her heart, and then remembered that it was the direction of the No. 21 space node. At this moment, a flash came, which proved that the hydrogen bomb spacecraft on that space node had exploded.

After nearly five years of planning, many changes occurred in the middle. The space blocking plan that has experienced many twists and turns finally began to be implemented at this moment.

At this moment, Zhao Lan should have been even more nervous, but for some reason, Zhao Lan suddenly felt no fear in her heart. Zhao Lan just looked at the sky quietly, as if watching a fireworks show.

The moment the hydrogen bomb spacecraft above the No. 21 space node was detonated, flashes also came from several directions such as the southeast, northwest, northeast, and south in turn. There was a delay of several seconds or even ten seconds between the flash, but Zhao Lan knew that those hydrogen bomb spacecraft actually exploded at the same time, but due to the different distances, the time when their flashes were transmitted to the earth was also different.

Zhao Lan counted and found that there were seventeen flash points in the sky. This was consistent with the original calculation. Because there were more than 30 spatial nodes distributed around the earth, some space nodes were on the back of the earth. Even if they exploded, Zhao Lan could not see the flashes coming out there.

After the seventeenth flash, Zhao Lan never saw any movement coming from the sky again. So Zhao Lan knew that the space blocking plan had been implemented and it was over.

After planning for several years, the space blocking plan that consumed a lot of financial resources and material resources of human civilization was over.

Zhao Lan knew that the space blocking plan must have been going very smoothly, but success does not mean that the plan itself was finally successful. The only criterion for testing whether the plan was successful was the effect, and if the effect was expected... Zhao Lan would see the stars in the sky about six minutes later.

It also takes a long time for the starlight to cross the vast desert in the universe. Depending on the distance, this time may take billions of years. However, Zhao Lan does not need to wait that long, because the light emitted by the stars continues, but it disappears without a trace when it comes to the distorted space near the earth, and thus disappears from the earth's sight. As long as the space around the earth returns to normal, it only takes about six minutes to come to the earth from the edge of the original distorted space.

Zhao Lan's heart was still calm, or it was because of excessive tension and expectation, but it turned into calm. Anyway, Zhao Lan leaned against the huge base of the statue of Zhao Huasheng, looked up at the sky, with a calm expression and motionlessness.

It is meaningless to arrange a detector outside the six-light distance to observe whether the starlight returns to normal first, because even if the detector is arranged there, the signal sent back to the detector to the earth will advance at the speed of light. When the signal reaches the earth, the earth can almost simultaneously detect whether there are stars in the sky. Therefore, human civilization has not specially arranged a detector in space.

Starlight treats everyone equally. Whether you are a civilized scientific research institution that has mastered the most advanced detection instruments, or a beggar who is asking for something for food tomorrow. If the starlight appears, everyone can see it at the same time. If the starlight does not appear, everyone cannot see it.

So even if Zhao Lan left the scientific research department full of advanced instruments at this moment, Zhao Lan could still obtain the same information as the scientific research department at the same time. So Zhao Lan was still waiting here quietly.

Zhao Lan didn't know how long the time had passed, and did she know if an hour had slipped away during her waiting, or if she had only spent one minute. Zhao Lan had almost lost the concept of time, so Zhao Lan kept looking at the sky and was looking for something crucial to her in the sky.

Zhao Lan's afterglow suddenly noticed a bright spot from the northern sky, but when Zhao Lan turned her gaze, the bright spot disappeared again. Zhao Lan felt a little lost in her heart. Zhao Lan thought, this was probably his own illusion.

But then, that little bit of light appeared again. Not only that, it was also rapidly increasing its brightness. After only a moment, it became extremely bright, like a shining gem in the dark and empty sky.

Zhao Lan's pupils suddenly shrank. Zhao Lan turned her head and saw that the sky, which was originally dark and empty, had been filled with stars in the sky at some point. The sky had nothing in the sky a moment ago, but now it was like a magic trick, becoming crowded in this moment.

Among the stars in the sky, Zhao Lan quickly found the familiar Big Dipper, found Vega and Alchemy...

The slow disappearance of the stars lasted for several years, but the appearance of the stars only took this moment.

A faint cheer came from the scientific research department building next to him. At this time, Zhao Lan also smiled and greeted the stars in the sky: "Hi, long time no see, are you okay?" (To be continued.)
