Under the influence of Chu Yunsheng's technology, after the greedy efforts of generations of uncrowned kings, the reserves of various technologies and talents on Yan Planet had become extremely abundant. In addition to the core, they were barely able to manufacture other parts such as the outer shell of the spaceship.
Chu Yunsheng's requirement was not high. Compared to the new battleship, it could be regarded as very low. Although he had provided the technology to Yan planet, after all, the time was too short. At that time, the construction of the new battleship was just the simplest step, but it took him decades to build it.
The name of the young heir was Shang Yu. He did not refuse any of Chu Yunsheng's requests. He was very cooperative, probably because he regarded Chu Yunsheng as a "plague" and wanted to send him away safely as soon as possible.
Of course, the traditionalists strongly supported him, and the reactionaries, who had fallen into a low ebb, also began to actively support him. So much so that Yan Planet had never worked together to do something like this before.
When the construction of the spaceship officially began, Chu Yunsheng did not show up again. He focused on building the core of the spaceship. Shang Yu, the young uncrowned king of the new generation, was more and more convinced that Chu Yunsheng came for the spaceship.
Moreover, the more he thought about it, the more terrified he felt. The thousands of years of history and changes on Yan Planet seemed to be arranged and imprisoned by this terrifying life form. From its appearance more than a thousand years ago, it had already set up a spy for today and given the enlightenment of science. The second time it appeared was reasonable, but it had hidden the strange circle of technology, and it could never jump out of it.
According to normal thinking, the third time it appeared, it should still keep the plan a secret. If it was him, he would not let himself guess the truth. However, this terrifying life had once again exceeded his expectations. It was only a step away from telling him the truth.
At first, he did not understand, and it was very difficult to explain logically. But after the construction of the spaceship began, he immediately understood. On Yan Planet, whether it was the deep-rooted traditionalists or the increasingly powerful reactionaries, under its deliberate interference and disclosure, all parties, for various reasons, were willing to go all out to build this spaceship!
The traditionalists controlled the largest resources on the planet, and the revisionists controlled the best and most imaginative talents of the new generation. Both of them used all their strength to complete the spaceship as soon as possible.
As for the truth that had existed for more than a thousand years, not only did it not care, but it had also become the newest "weapon" in its hands, used by it once again, squeezing out every last bit of value … Even though he clearly knew its purpose, he had no choice but to willingly complete the construction of the spaceship as soon as possible.
Was this the suppression of a higher lifeform against a lower lifeform? It could calmly make arrangements over a thousand years, understand all of their weaknesses, from physiology to psychology, from individual to social form, and play with them in the palm of its hand?
For the first time, Shang Yu began to think about this problem. Looking at the bright starry sky above his head, he did not know when it started, but he was no longer worried about the sword of death hanging in the sky above the Stone Aliens — the huge invincible fleet.
He had a feeling that the fleet would disappear after the construction of the spaceship was completed.
There were a few times when he even had a terrifying urge to abandon everything here and follow the spaceship into the starry sky to see what kind of strange world it was out there.
But every time, his reason firmly defeated his impulse. He could not leave, he had to stay on Stone Planet.
Among the many heirs who were qualified to inherit the title of the uncrowned king, he was the only one who firmly supported the revisionists. Once Chu Yunsheng left, if his intuition was correct, it would be the era of the greatest change for Stone Aliens, and it would also be the best era in his dream. He could not abandon his lifelong belief and go to an impulsive desire.
However, that kind of temptation gradually began to torture his heart like a devil.
As the construction of the spaceship became faster and faster, and the time to leave was getting closer and closer, this kind of torture became more and more intense, so much so that his young face seemed to have aged a lot. Every night, the number of times he stood in front of the window and looked up at the starry sky also increased. Sometimes, he didn't even know that he had actually looked at the starry sky for a whole night …
Time flowed like water, Chu Yunsheng never showed up again, and the construction of the spaceship was gradually coming to an end. Maybe it would be completed tomorrow.
That night, he slept and woke up, woke up and slept again, and finally stood in front of the window, looking at the dark but bright starry sky. He stood there for a long time.
He didn't know when, but a pair of soft hands gently hugged him from behind. He didn't look back, but he knew that it was his wife. She came from a traditional family, but she was the person who supported him the most in the world.
He held his wife's hand, and at the same time, he felt his wife's cheek pressed against his back. Her body was slightly trembling, "Do you really want to leave?"
At that moment, his body suddenly stiffened. He didn't expect that his wife, who was very sensitive, had already guessed his inner impulse. He didn't know how to answer, so he could only hold his wife's hands tightly.
That night, he thought a lot, and he also became a lot older.
…
On the day the spaceship set sail, the entire Stone Planet was boiling!
Although the higher-ups had been talking about building spaceships, except for the unmanned experimental spaceship more than a hundred years ago, no real spaceship had been built.
When the huge spherical figure in the spaceport was transmitted to all directions of Stone Planet through the communication system, countless people fell in love with it.
In their eyes, it was like their first child who was about to walk into space. It was so beautiful and sci-fi, full of their countless aspirations and pride.
On the same day, the haze over their heads was finally swept away. The huge invincible fleet turned around and left for unknown reasons. Although they didn't know if it would come back in the future, they finally didn't have to live in fear all day long.
This was an exciting day. They finally got rid of the shadow of more than six hundred years, and they could freely imagine the beautiful days of the future. Everyone was in high spirits. At least for now, they didn't have to think about the reason behind it. Because the first batch of astronauts who were about to leave Stone Planet and follow the spaceship into space would board the spaceship today.
Although everyone knew that they might not be able to come back, and even if they did, their old friends would be gone, this was the first time they had tried to walk into space.
In the dark and boundless world, among the billions of stars, what was there? It was enough to make people's imagination run wild and yearn for it.
The spaceport was full of people who came to see them off. There were relatives of the astronauts, and there were also high-level officials.
The spherical spaceship, filled with all kinds of materials, was waiting for them to enter and then set sail.
The farewell process and the ceremony lasted for a long time. Finally, it was time to leave.
The astronauts took the shuttles and flew into the spherical spaceship one after another. From a distance, it looked like countless streams converging from all directions.
Shang Yu's wife, wearing a thick spacesuit, floated in the crowd. She looked deeply at one of the shuttles, which gradually disappeared into the distance. She looked sad.
…
The spaceship took off coldly, slowly leaving the spaceport. It orbited around Stone Planet and entered the orbit of the star. Finally, it got rid of the gravitational pull and flew into the vast universe.
On the spaceport, some people waved their arms with all their might. Some finally couldn't help but cry softly. After this farewell, they would never see each other again.
Shang Yu's wife silently shed tears as she looked at the spaceship that was getting farther and farther away. It turned into a dot and gradually disappeared into the vast darkness.
People gradually left. The grand celebration seemed to have turned into a sad farewell in the blink of an eye. It was depressing.
It wasn't until even that dot could no longer be seen that the remaining relatives turned around and left reluctantly and uncomfortably.
At this moment, a shuttle suddenly flew back from the darkness!
Everyone turned back. At that moment, the shock and the violent excitement in the depths of their hearts could not be expressed in words.
The speed of the shuttle was very fast. When people used the micro-thrusters in their spacesuits to fly toward it, a figure walked out at the same time.
Shang Yu's wife instantly flew up, tears falling like rain.
That person was Shang Yu. The two met in mid-air. He hugged his wife tightly, tears streaming down his face. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry …"
At the other end of the orbit, the spaceship that carried the hopes of countless people finally entered deep space and flew toward the distant stars. (To be continued.)
