It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

In the conference room, there was a slight discussion suddenly.

It can be seen from the expressions of the crowd that most of them agree with Hong Qiming's statement.

But Fang Xu raised an objection: "I have a question."

"How can we be sure that Ren Feng and Zhang Zhengqing's plan was successfully implemented?"

"Professor, they have already mobilized the army. If, I mean, if their plan fails, then the [Docked Tail Project] will also fail completely."

"In this way, not only the human civilization of Proxima Centauri will perish, but even us..."

After the voice fell, the conference room fell into silence for an instant.

……

It is about the continuation of civilization, Lu Yongchang must be extremely cautious.

The question Fang Xu raised was like a sword of Damocles, hanging high above everyone's heads.

The meeting lasted for three full days.

During the meeting, under Zero's control, [Docked Tail Project] and [Interstellar Voyage Project] were still proceeding in an orderly manner.

But this meeting, which decided the fate of countless people, has come to a standstill.

During these three days, one plan after another was proposed, but rejected again.

No one can guarantee, and no one dares to guarantee, that Ren Feng and Zhang Zhengqing's plan can be successfully implemented.

After all, in the environment of human civilization in Proxima Centauri, the behavior of the two of them is tantamount to making enemies of the entire civilization!

The resistance in this is unimaginable for ordinary people!

Lu Yongchang sat in his seat with a tired face, looking at the voting results in front of him with great confusion.

This is the tenth time that all members have voted by secret ballot.

But the result is still unsatisfactory.

51.2% voted in favour, 44.1% against and 4.7% abstained.

Although more than half of the votes were in favor, it did not meet the standard of two-thirds of the voting rights. Therefore, this vote has no effect.

"drop!"

A rapid siren sounded.

"Professor, Proxima b communication has been restored."

Lu Yongchang suddenly widened his eyes.

He subconsciously propped his hands on the conference table in front of him, straightened up and shouted loudly: "Quick! Establish a communication connection for me!"

A huge holographic projection appeared above the conference table, and a line of faint text appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

【Communication connection is being established...】

Proxima Centauri is correspondingly fast.

There was hardly any waiting. After a line of words [Successfully Connected] appeared, a real-time image of Proxima b appeared on the holographic screen.

Ren Feng had sunken eye sockets, his gray hair was extremely messy, and the word exhaustion was written all over his face.

But his eyes were extremely bright, and there was even a slight smile in his eyes.

"Professor, hello."

Ren Feng was the first to say hello, as if the incident a few days ago had never happened at all.

"Ren Feng, you..."

Seeing Ren Feng's appearance, Lu Yongchang didn't know what to say for a while.

"Professor, let me report to you the progress of the implementation of the plan." Ren Feng whispered with a tired smile on his lips.

"As of now, the total number of awakened personnel on Proxima Centauri is 3147."

"They are all absolute supporters of the tail-docking plan, but in order to prevent accidents, all personnel, including me, will go into hibernation one after another."

"All irrelevant personnel on Proxima b have entered hibernation. According to the preset program, they will wake up after 50 years and welcome the arrival of the final moment."

"Meanwhile, five social care centers have lifted all restrictions and started working."

"In order to ensure the successful implementation of the plan, all humans born from the nurturing center will directly enter a state of mild hibernation."

"According to the experimental data provided by Zhang Zhengqing, mild hibernation will not affect their normal growth and development."

Speaking of this, Ren Feng took a deep breath, and his expression became more solemn: "Professor, all the preparations have been completed."

"You, have you thought about it?"

Just when Lu Yongchang was about to speak, Ren Feng smiled again and added: "By the way, Professor, Zhengqing has only restored this external communication link, and he can physically cut it off again at any time."

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang's face changed slightly.

In desperation, he swallowed the sentence he originally wanted to say and changed it to another sentence.

"Everyone, the No. 11 secret ballot will now begin."

Chapter 577 Farce

Voting is over.

One of the most critical issues was resolved, and the voting results changed dramatically.

86.1% voted in favour, 11.2% against and 2.7% abstained.

more than two-thirds of the voting rights.

Votes are valid.

Lu Yongchang looked at the voting results in front of him, then looked at the votes he had cast, and took a deep breath: "I announce that the implementation location of [Tail Docking Plan] will be changed to Proxima b."

"[Homeland Ship] departs today!"

……

the conference has ended.

The Academy of Sciences and the Parliament left one after another.

The next interstellar voyage requires a lot of preparation, and everyone has their own things to be busy with.

In the conference room, only Lu Yongchang was left alone.

"Why bother?" Lu Yongchang sighed softly.

From the loudspeaker, Ren Feng's chuckle came: "For the continuation of human civilization."

Lu Yongchang didn't speak, but looked at Ren Feng in the holographic projection with regret.

After a moment of silence, he shook his head: "You will become a sinner."

"The biggest sinner in the history of human civilization." Lu Yongchang emphasized, "You could have been the hero of human civilization in Proxima Centauri!"

Ren Feng still kept a faint smile on his face.

"never mind."

"When I made this decision, I didn't care about that."

"What's more, I did not lead the human civilization of Proxima Centauri to glory, but instead led it to decline."

Saying so, Ren Feng slightly lowered his eyelids, hiding the disappointment in his eyes.

"...It's not your fault." Lu Yongchang sighed again.

Ren Feng did not reply.

There was a dead silence in the meeting room.

"correct."

Lu Yongchang said softly: "The infrastructure of Proxima Centauri b is too weak, and this will become another defect of [Docking Tail Project]."

"I will send some [Glutton] material storage ships and engineering ships to build some necessary infrastructure in the shortest possible time."

"These infrastructures can greatly improve the quality of life of the [-] million Proxima humans. At least, they don't have to be crowded in such a small space..."

"Okay." Ren Feng's eyes moved slightly, and he said softly, "I thank you for the unborn humans of Proxima Centauri."

Lu Yongchang swallowed half a sentence that he hadn't said yet: Although this quality of life can only be maintained for an extremely short period of time.

The atmosphere in the meeting room returned to dead silence again.

"I will faithfully record the history of human civilization in Proxima Centauri."

Lu Yongchang once again broke the silent atmosphere: "As for you and Zhang Zhengqing...I will put your names in the Monument to the Pioneers of Human Civilization."

"Other... merits and demerits, let future generations judge, I can't interfere too much."

Ren Feng was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect Lu Yongchang to say such words.

His eyes were slightly red, he lowered his head slowly, and said in an extremely sincere voice: "Thank you, Professor."

"That's enough."

……

The earth calendar is 2506 years.

The human fleet has completed all preparations.

The fleet split into two and sailed in two directions.

One of the fleets is a little smaller, consisting of [Homeland Ship], [Glutton] material storage ship, engineering ship and a few [Golden Crow] battleships. Under Zero's control, it slowly left the Gliese 555 star system, Driven by the antimatter engine, it headed straight for Proxima Centauri b, which is 17.55 light-years away.

The other fleet is full of hope for human civilization, carrying a large amount of antimatter seized from the Bosa civilization, and sailing to the target star system 42.3 light-years away.

After a little refreshment there, the fleet will set sail again for the nearest small black hole.

……

50 years later.

The earth calendar is 2556 years.

Lu Yongchang's face turned slightly pale, and he walked out of the hibernation cabin and came to the [Earth] command center.

Inside the command center, it was extremely deserted.

He moved slowly in his seat, staring blankly at the almost constant dark starry sky outside the porthole.

"Professor, the fleet successfully arrived at Proxima b a year ago."

"At present, the surface infrastructure of Proxima Centauri b has been completed."

The cold electronic synthesis sounded in the command center, and at the same time, a holographic picture appeared in front of him.

Looking at the densely packed fleet around the white planet, Lu Yongchang couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in his heart.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in his body, and gave an order.

"[Tail-docking plan], start to execute."

Perhaps because he just woke up from hibernation, he felt that the tone of his words was very strange.

It's as if it didn't come from my own mouth.

"receive."

The electronically synthesized sound is the same as before, without any change.

Lu Yongchang got up slowly and walked to the porthole.

Looking at the starlight outside the porthole, a line of hot tears rolled down both sides of his cheeks.

In the huge holographic projection behind him, the real-time image of Proxima Centauri b is being played.

……

Proxima b.

A year ago, Ren Feng woke up from hibernation, looked at the line of faint words in the holographic projection, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The engineering ship and material reserve ship brought a large amount of materials to Proxima b, which directly changed the state of extreme shortage of materials in Proxima b.

The antimatter engines generate far more power than the old fusion reactors they use.
