With an average lifespan of only two hundred years, it took nearly a thousand years to send an astronaut to Nanmen 2 and then return from Nanmen 2... Is this really meaningful?

If the Head of State had not been firmly promoting this plan and constantly rushing to seek support, the island plan would have been stranded. ￡∝, to this day, Wei Feng still clearly remembers the powerful words of the Head of State in a speech: "Just hundreds of years ago, we had already begun to seek new energy to seek replacements before the fossil energy was exhausted, now we, although we have not yet felt the urgency of interstellar navigation, we must also start to seek breakthroughs in this regard. Because the time required for interstellar navigation is too long, it will be too late to start related research when we feel the urgency."

"A comprehensive study of the Academy of Social Sciences concluded that the total population that the entire solar system can carry is 500 billion. If it exceeds 500 billion people, the comfort of survival will be reduced. The ultimate load capacity is about 800 billion. If it exceeds 800 billion, someone will be frozen to death or starved to death due to insufficient resources. According to the current population growth rate, within 700 years, our population will reach 800 billion. At that time...whether we should go to human civilization? Will we reduce the total population through a war that swept the entire solar system? No, I believe no one will be happy to have a result. Then we have only one way out... that is, to develop towards the outer solar system, seek more resources and planets to carry the population of our human civilization."

"This universe provides us with endless stars and resources, but if our civilization is in trouble just because of its self-confidence and pleasure in comfort... wouldn't you be ashamed, my fellow citizens?"

The head of state will finally win. The isolated island plan was finally implemented. Although this time it was just a spaceship, a person. But... as long as one person can be sent to the outer star system and then returned smoothly, this means that one day in the future, human civilization can completely send 100 million people, or even 10 billion people, to the outer star system.

Let human civilization grow branches and leaves in countless star systems, and let the footprints of human civilization travel across the entire third spiral arm and even the entire Milky Way... This is the real era of interstellar development. Compared with such interstellar development, what is the development of just a few small planets in one solar system?

Wei Feng is proud of being able to stand at the forefront of the times because Wei Feng knows that no matter whether he succeeds in this trip, his name will be remembered by history, but at the same time, Wei Feng feels a little lonely and fearful. Because Wei Feng knows that what he welcomes will be a lonely journey of nearly a thousand years. Even if he finally returns from the South Gate Two Galaxy, because of the thousand-year gap in the era, everything he knows will disappear. The movies, clothing, and favorite food will disappear and evolve into some of his own things, his own aesthetics. Life concepts and things will fall behind. He has left this era, but his thinking will always stay in this era, which is destined that Wei Feng will never be accepted by the new era thousands of years later. He... will become a person abandoned by the times.

This is the price that must be paid for the name in history. But Wei Feng is ready to pay these prices. Because Wei Feng's life and all the education Wei Feng received are all prepared for this task. If this task cannot be performed, Wei Feng's life will lose all meaning.

Wei Feng and Chu Hai have been training in the Pluto base for thirteen years. During this period, Wei Feng, Chu Hai and others learned about the relevant knowledge of spacecraft maintenance emergency rescue South Gate 2, and how to deal with various dangerous situations, including thirty-seven major categories, thousands of sub-categories. Without Wei Feng's expectations, in the assessments again and again, Wei Feng's grades have always been far ahead of his classmates.

Wei Feng knew that every "excellent" on his transcript means that he was one step closer to the interstellar voyage, and also means that he was a little closer to the thousand-year loneliness. But Wei Feng had no other choice. Wei Feng's life trajectory was already destined as early as the rainy afternoon when he was taken out of the orphanage when he was a child. Instead of staying on earth to overturn all his previous life experiences of more than 30 years and then start everything again, Wei Feng would rather be a person abandoned by the times after enduring this thousand-year loneliness.

After thirteen years of training, the "Xinghai" spacecraft used to implement the isolated island plan completed the overall structure construction. So Wei Feng and others' training base moved from Pluto to Jupiter's dock. Wei Feng and others will live on this semi-finished Star Sea spacecraft for the remaining seven years and personally participate in the construction of the Star Sea spacecraft to be familiar with the various structures of the Star Sea spacecraft and learn how to manipulate the spacecraft.

Time slipped away bit by bit, and the Xinghai spacecraft became complete day by day. Finally, nine years later - two years longer than the scheduled time - the Xinghai spacecraft was built and passed the acceptance. Twenty-two years passed in a flash. The head of state who decided to implement the Isolated Island Plan had already stepped down, and his successor also stepped down five years ago. The head of state who is in power is the third head of state since the implementation of the Isolated Island Plan.

The children who were studying at the meeting were almost over their studies. The students at that time should have already worked and got married and had children. During these 20 years, many people died and many were born. During this period, I don’t know how many joys and sorrows happened, but all of this has nothing to do with Wei Feng and Chuhai and others. For many years, candidates for the isolated island plan such as Wei Feng and Chuhai have been living under the strict surveillance of the government. The government strictly prohibits them from having any contact with the outside world, especially not allowing contact with the opposite sex of the same age. For candidates, family affection or love are completely poisons.

Because family affection or love or other things will affect the minds of candidates and shake their determination to perform tasks, which is extremely likely to lead to the failure of the task. Although this practice is inhumane, it is something that must be done under real circumstances.

This is also the reason why all candidates choose from orphanages. Because a "normal person" with a sound family, a complete social network, friends, relatives, and lovers may not be able to accept the consequences of being abandoned by the times.

The Xinghai spacecraft was finally built and the supporting facilities were built, so the departure time was not far away. Although Wei Feng was still strictly restricted to his range of movement, his treatment at Jupiter's dock base was much better. Wei Feng could finally sleep comfortably and enjoy a life of having a clothes and reaching out to eat. This obviously means some guilt from the government to a certain extent. Wei Feng knew that the government probably planned to compensate him in this way.

When the final list was determined, Wei Feng had his name without surprise. At this moment, Wei Feng had been waiting for many years, but when it really arrived, Wei Feng couldn't tell what it felt like.

On the day of departure, many people came to the launch base. Not only were all influential media reporters from all civilizations, but even the Head of State himself came here in person. Wei Feng was put on a military uniform like a puppet, and then the Head of State personally put an epaulette symbolizing the title of "General" on Wei Feng's shoulder. Many people were talking, many flashes were flashing, and many recording equipment reached in front of Wei Feng, but Wei Feng's expression was always stiff and he had never said a word.

Wei Feng knew that at this moment, among the more than 200 million people in the entire civilization, at least 100 billion people were broadcasting, and his face was being broadcast. Wei Feng tried hard to make his expression softer, but Wei Feng's face had become stiff and he could not do this anyway. After working hard for a while, Wei Feng simply gave up this plan.

"Anyway, after I came back, everyone at this moment was dead... It doesn't matter whether they left a good impression on them." Wei Feng thought so.

There were five hours left before the final departure. At this time, Wei Feng was allowed to spend half an hour alone with a person he wanted to meet. Wei Feng thought for a long time and couldn't remember who to be alone with, so he simply said Chu Hai's name. Chu Hai was quickly taken to the room, but Wei Feng didn't know what to say.

In the end, Chu Hai spoke first: "Wei Feng, I just received the notice that after you set out to Nanmen 2, the support work in the solar system will be the responsibility of us who have failed to choose."

Wei Feng smiled stiffly, still not knowing what to say. Chu Hai continued: "We will adopt the same dormant arrangement as you. After you "hibernate", we will also enter "hibernate". You are awakened every ten years, and we are awakened every ten years."

Chu Hai sighed, "That is to say, when you come back a thousand years later... we are all still alive. By then... not only you are the ones abandoned by the times, but also us."

Chu Hai stopped talking, and Wei Feng remained silent. It was not until half an hour passed that Wei Feng stood up, then hugged Chu Hai for a moment, then turned around and left here.

Wei Feng knew that the next time he saw Chu Hai, it would be almost a thousand years later. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
