Chapter 229 Good luck
Wei Feng did not know whether the decision to carry out large-scale outer solar system exploration at this stage was correct or wrong. Wei Feng only knew that this was the only available method for human mind to break the dead knot. Perhaps, as Chu Hai said, he could only pray that human mind would obtain enough technology before it finally collapsed.
The long journey continued, Wei Feng once again entered a deep sleep and then woke up again.
Outside the window, there was always a constant starry sky. Apart from being a little bit dilapidated, there was no change. Wei Feng's labor tasks were even heavier. At the same time, in addition to performing these conventional tasks, Wei Feng also received many experimental tasks sent by the earth.
The Xinghai spacecraft naturally carries many scientific detection instruments. These instruments are used to prepare for the observation and research of the Nanmen galaxy after Weifeng finally arrived at the Nanmen galaxy. These instruments are not suitable for research in the open areas between the stars, but they can barely play a role.
So, according to the instructions of the scientific research manual, Wei Feng, with the assistance of Ye Luo, took out the instruments that had been covered with dust from the warehouse for more than a hundred years and began to operate them. He was busy for more than five months. After sending all the experimental data back to the earth, Wei Feng once again entered a deep sleep.
Wei Feng knew that there must be a constant stream of information transmitted from the earth. Since humans have realized the current crisis, they will definitely not ignore the role that the isolated island plan can play at this moment. This time, his sleep will take another ten years, and in this ten years, there must be many signals that will come to him through more than a year of communication delays.
But it was very unexpected to Wei Feng. After Wei Feng woke up again this time, Wei Feng did not receive any information from the earth. Not only was there any government, but even the letters sent by the Time Traveler team were gone.
This is the first time Wei Feng has encountered this situation since he left the solar system. Wei Feng doesn’t know what happened in the solar system, but Wei Feng knows that something must have happened.
Wei Feng had some vague concerns in his heart, but this worry was meaningless. At this moment, Wei Feng was a 1.6 light-year distance from the sun. The communication delay alone was as high as 1.6 years. Even if Wei Feng was worried, what could he do?
Wei Feng could only suppress the worries in his heart. He still only repaired the Xinghai spacecraft and carried out some restorative training. After two months, he entered a deep sleep again.
Ten years later, Wei Feng woke up again, then fell asleep again, and woke up again. This time, Wei Feng finally received a letter from the earth. Yes, there was only one letter.
The letter was written by Chu Hai. In the letter, Chu Hai wrote: "Wei Feng, my friend. I'm sorry, this is the last time we have spoken to you."
"In the past few decades, many things have happened in our solar system. The human government has led a large-scale external solar system exploration program. As we think, these exploration programs occupy a huge amount of social wealth and even affect the vital interests of everyone in Mingzhong. Mingzhong complains, and even the current head of state who led the matter has been assassinated several times. Fortunately, the head of state was not hurt, but this policy cannot be implemented."
"The head of state was forced to step down, and the new head of state abolished all policies of the former head of state regarding external solar system detection, claiming to seek technological changes with a "relative, acceptable" plan. But this is useless, the population is still increasing, and social conflicts are still becoming increasingly fierce."
"Ultimately, the largest production capacity area in the human Ming Dynasty, the Jupiter system announced that it had broken away from the leadership of the human Ming Dynasty government, established an independent Jupiter Republic, and announced that it would stop all external energy supply, unless the other planets could use sufficient resources in exchange. Affected by this, the Saturn system also declared independence and established the Saturn Republic. The Neptune system had weak power. They did not declare independence, but were still in the wait-and-see, but they also quietly stopped the energy supply to the inner solar system. Uranus was now moving to the other side of the sun and was far from Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune systems, so it was still in the control of human Ming Dynasty."
"So...the current situation is that the Earth, Mars, Venus, space island living circle, Mercury heavy industrial base, Uranus system, and other places that are still under the leadership of human Ming have united together to form the inner solar system alliance. They have the largest elite population in human Ming, the strongest armed strength, and the largest heavy industrial base, but they do not have a stable and sufficient energy source. Although Uranus can also provide a large amount of energy support, it is too far from the inner solar system and has a low energy quality. Uranus' output alone is not enough to support the energy demand of the entire inner solar system alliance."
"The Jupiter system, Saturn system, and Neptune system form the outer solar system alliance. They have sufficient energy supply and have more social populations. Although the lower education level is low, the lower social population is more aggressive. They claim that the outer solar system alliance and the inner solar system alliance are equal in status. The outer solar system alliance does not have the responsibility to provide the inner solar system alliance energy. They will give priority to using energy output to improve the living conditions of the people within the alliance. Only after meeting their own needs will they export energy to the inner solar system alliance in exchange for the industry, agriculture and other products they need."
"Weifeng, my friend, do you know what this means? Yes, it means war. As human orthodox, the inner solar system alliance naturally cannot tolerate the energy supply being suppressed by others. The insufficient energy output determines that the outer solar system alliance must seek benefits for itself. Regarding the struggle for interests, neither side can retreat. No matter which side retreats, their people will overthrow the government of this side and then seek a government that can truly represent its own interests. Since neither side can retreat... then there is only war."
"The asteroid belt has become the dividing point between the inner solar system alliance and the outer solar system alliance. This large-scale open area assumes the responsibility of buffering the conflict between the two sides. For military needs, both sides have arranged a large number of troops and weapons on the asteroid belt. However... the eight large antennas planned by our island are also arranged here. They are closer to the inner solar system in their location, so they are subordinate to the jurisdiction of the inner solar system alliance. In order to prevent anyone from using these eight antennas to leak confidential information to the outer solar system alliance, the inner solar system alliance government has decided to remove these eight antennas. Our Time Traveler team has spent a lot of effort to get this last opportunity to contact you, and after this time, we will never be able to contact you again."
"Yes, we will never be able to contact us again in the future, because the island plan will be terminated, and we can no longer hibernate in the future. We will be forcibly integrated into this era and then spend the remaining life in a maximum of more than a hundred years. When you see this letter, you have sailed about 16 light years, and there are still more than six hundred years before you return to Earth. When you return to Earth, we have been dead for more than five hundred years."
"My friend, I feel very sad and sad at this moment. We have noticed the deterioration of our humans many years ago, but we have never been able to interfere with this trend, but we can only watch it reach its present level. Humans have clearly divided, and the next step will be war, and war will inevitably destroy most of our humans. When we return to our current population again, it will probably take hundreds or even thousands of years to reach our current population. No, maybe we have no chance to recover at all. This war may make our humans directly extinct."
"We humans have mastered too many weapons of destruction now, and we have even had the ability to influence the sun. However, I don't think that when the war breaks out in full swing, we will be so rational that we don't attack the sun. Once the sun is affected, we will never have a chance, and our wisdom will definitely become extinct. In fact, our time travel team is not optimistic about the fate of humans. We believe that the chance of this war extinction of the entire humans is as high as 80%.
"Weifeng, no one cares about the isolated island plan. Now everyone thinks about war, destroying each other to improve their resource possession. Everyone doesn't know which day they can live. In this case, who else cares about us and you? But Weifeng, on behalf of all our time travelers team members who stay in the solar system, I ask you something. You must complete this interstellar voyage and go to the South Gate Two Galaxy, because we don't want our humans to take this step of interstellar voyage until they are extinct. We don't want our humans to be trapped in the solar system until they are extinct."
"This is a small wish for us, Wei Feng, I ask you to complete this with our wish."
