Luo Yuan was paranoid and cautious along the way. He used to think that his journey across the galaxy was extremely safe, but now it seemed to be filled with danger.
The universe was deeper than he had imagined.
The appearance of the four-dimensional creature meant that the surrounding galaxy was no longer safe.
He came to his senses and couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart. It turned out that his calmness was only under the premise that he had absolute control over everything in the world. Once his strength couldn't guarantee the safety of his life, his reaction was practically no different from that of an ordinary person.
After all, safety was the priority of living beings. Without safety, everything else would be meaningless.
Of course, to Luo Yuan and the humans, it was a vast and boundless area. To these unimaginable four-dimensional creatures, a radius of a few hundred light years or even a few thousand light years would be their range of activity.
From the perspective of dialectics and probability, since the Glassians and humans had been reproducing since hundreds of thousands of years ago, it meant that the probability of encountering a four-dimensional creature was extremely low.
The reason why he was able to encounter a four-dimensional creature was probably because of his semi-four-dimensional body. He was like a protruding dot on a smooth piece of paper. In the eyes of a four-dimensional creature, he was exceptionally eye-catching.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth and he did not encounter any accidents until he arrived at Barnard's Star.
Luo Yuan did not alert anyone and quietly returned to his house. He took out a few highly compressed water balls from the space sphere that he carried with him and put them into his mouth one by one. At the same time, he turned on the holographic recording device. He had left quite a number of video messages on it during his time away from home.
…
"The entire Space City was in an uproar just now. It was so lively outside. It's a pity that you didn't see it." This was from Zhao Yali.
Luo Yuan looked at the time displayed. It happened to be not long after he left the Space City. However, even if he was in the Space City, he would not be able to participate in such a lively event.
"Why haven't you returned after such a long time?" This was from Wang Shishi.
The device was specially made. It had the most basic functions of anti-radiation and anti-interference. The number of frames per second was astronomical. However, to him, the video was still a page of images.
Next, he sped up the video. There were messages from his women, a few of his sons, and a few of the government's higher-ups.
The former was a family greeting while the latter was a routine inquiry about the general policy of the government. However, the messages were filled with the desire to return.
"After more than 30 years, humans can finally return to Earth!" Luo Yuan suddenly realized.
…
However, moving was not an easy task. Humans were no longer the same as when they first arrived. They had almost nothing.
After more than 20 years of development in Barnard's Star, humans had already accumulated a lot of wealth.
From the amount of mass that the fourth planet had lost over the years, one could roughly see how much wealth the humans had accumulated over the years.
Its total mass was already equivalent to the mass of a moon. Although some of the light matter was converted into energy through nuclear fusion, most of it was converted into various machinery and equipment, various spaceships, and a large amount of resources.
Humans, who had been poor for a long time and suddenly became rich, obviously did not have the habit of being wasteful. Other than a portion of the mining and smelting industrial system that would remain on the fourth planet and continue mining under the control of the central artificial intelligence, the rest would naturally be taken away.
In fact, the Barnard Star was only six light years away from Earth. To the current humans, this distance was no longer a natural chasm. Using the Reactionless Drive Battleship, they could make a round trip in about two years. Furthermore, this star system was extremely rich in resources. It was undoubtedly the best mining planet for humans.
Just two months after the victory of the war, humans had entered a vigorous relocation project.
If they were to follow the normal pace of relocation, it was estimated that humans would have to wait for three to four years or even five to six years for the large capacity civilian transport Reactionless Drive Spaceships to be mass-produced before they could start moving.
Throughout the entire process, even if the relocation took 10 years, it was still relatively normal.
However, the miniaturized universe that was floating near the Space City had greatly accelerated the process.
The space disc of the miniaturized universe had been expanded by Luo Yuan by 10 times, allowing it to accommodate the largest cargo spaceship and all sorts of large-scale equipment.
The factories outside the Space City were emptied one by one. A large amount of machinery and equipment were stuffed into standard containers and then loaded into cargo spaceships that were driven directly into the space door.
The spaceships near the space door flowed continuously day and night. Every day, trillions of tons of resources would flow into the space door.
…
Two years later, the countless mining machines on the fourth planet continued to follow the instructions to transport the huge amount of minerals to the smelting factory to be purified into various resources. The cargo spaceships would then send them to the resource warehouse of the Space City to be stored. The cargo spaceships from the fourth planet to the Space City flowed continuously. Everything seemed to be the same as before, busy as before. However, the entire Space City had long been deserted.
…
Luo Yuan waved his hand and the space disc quickly flew towards him. In the process of flying, its huge body continuously peeled off and weathered. Finally, only a round ball was left and it fell into Luo Yuan's palm.
This was the core of the space disc. The entire miniaturized universe was sealed within it.
After Luo Yuan took it, he looked at the faraway Earth. He then activated his space-time bubble and flew towards it.
…
Earth!
Lin Zhong-an carefully laid on the ground and listened carefully to the movement under the snow. After a long time, his ears moved slightly and a smile appeared on his face.
For the past few decades, although the temperature on Earth had been rising slowly, the temperature was still maintained at -30 degrees Celsius all year round. Especially in winter, the temperature could even reach -50 degrees Celsius.
The cold weather had made the mutated beasts more and more accustomed to living underground. They had also become smarter and smarter. The mutated beasts that were able to survive until now had the ability to hide their tracks. This was because those that did not have this ability had long been extinct.
It was still possible to hunt by relying on the footprints of the mutated beasts and the snow caves in their nests. However, it was getting increasingly difficult now.
If one did not have good hearing, patience, and a strong ability, one would only be able to gnaw on tree bark.
Fortunately, Lin Zhong-an did not lack any of these. After decades of hunting, he had long become an experienced hunter.
He gently knocked on the thick ice. His hearing was extremely sharp and he could determine the location of the mutated beast's cave based on the different echoes of the ice. Soon, he locked onto his target.
He did not dare to be careless. His body lay on the ice and continued to crawl for more than 10 meters until he moved to the top of the cave.
The sole of his foot heavily stomped on the layer of ice with a force of more than 10 tons. As it had been maintained for a long time, the layer of ice was extremely brittle. Under the tremendous force, a crack that was more than half a meter wide suddenly appeared on the layer of ice.
Immediately, Lin Zhong-an jumped down without hesitation. Not long after, there was a shrill scream coming from the ice crack.
Half a minute later, he carried a mutated beast that weighed half a ton and jumped out of the ice crack.
The head of the mutated beast was completely smashed and there was no longer any sound. Lin Zhong-an looked at the few pieces of brain matter that fell onto the snow because of the vibration when he landed. He felt distressed and quickly picked them up one by one and stuffed them into his mouth.
If it was in the past, he would not even look at this kind of disgusting bloody food. He was a natural evolved person. Even when he was at his lowest, he had never eaten bloody food, let alone this kind of disgusting brain matter.
However, after decades of living as a savage, he had long extinguished this remaining obsession with cleanliness. In this world of ice and snow, it was not every day that he would be so lucky to find prey. Most of the time, he could only dig some dry tree roots to satisfy his hunger.
He casually wiped off the bloodstain on his mouth and weighed the prey in his hand. With a face full of excitement, he walked towards the cave in the distance.
