In the twenty-fifth century, the word country has disappeared on earth, seven continents and all ocean islands have been merged under the federal government, and human science and technology has reached an unprecedented peak of prosperity.
It is said that the extremes of things must reverse and the cycle of heaven. With the prosperity of science and technology, resources are increasingly depleted, the environment has deteriorated rapidly, the earth has become devastated, and the population on the earth has dropped sharply from 20 billion to 8 billion.
Africa and Western Asia have turned into endless deserts one after another, and the vast sea of sand has rapidly expanded towards the last place where humans live.
Due to natural selection, in order to adapt to the harsh climate, humans have to tap into their own potential and strengthen their bodies, thus deriving a powerful route that is different from technological tools.
However, not everyone has the talent for cultivation, and coupled with the depletion of the earth's resources, only one in a few million people can stand at the pinnacle of cultivation.
In order to prevent humankind from becoming extinct, the Federation had to launch a very expensive and large-scale "space exploration plan" in order to find a planet suitable for human habitation in space.
This plan has actually started in the twentieth century of human history, but it has never been taken as seriously as it is now, because according to scientists' calculations, the earth's harsh environment and increasingly scarce resources will allow mankind to persist for another two hundred years at most.
In the next two hundred years, the population will continue to collapse rapidly until it is completely extinct.
There are two types of people participating in the space exploration program, one is scientific and technological talents, and the other is the one in a million who have reached the peak of cultivation.
In the past, space exploration relied on ordinary astronauts, but their weak bodies limited the exploration accuracy of ordinary astronauts. Practitioners, coupled with high-precision equipment, have become a powerful force for precise exploration of the "New Earth".
Originally, this group of people were able to live longer than ordinary people under current conditions, but they sacrificed countless lives in space exploration time after time.
Therefore, these one in a million people have become the most respected beings on earth.
They are known as: Space Pioneers.
…
In the history of human exploration of the universe for more than a thousand years, previous scientists have said countless times that liquid water has been discovered here and biological traces have been found there.
However, a hundred years passed silently, and the "Space Exploration Plan" consumed countless resources and ultimately achieved nothing. No planet suitable for human survival was found.
The earth's population has shrunk to five billion.
Another thirty years have passed, just when people have become desperate for the space exploration program, and many people have begun to petition to terminate the "space exploration program" so that resources can be used to keep mankind alive.
The Explorer 512 spacecraft, sailing lonely in space, saw a shocking scene in the dark depths of the universe.
The photons scattered and reflected back to a huge image on the screen. A huge irregular pot lid appeared in front of the elite astronauts and space pioneers. It was black like iron sheets and covered the surface of the "pot lid" piece by piece. According to the ruler calculation, it was about the size of the earth.
Two million times.
This is not what shocks people. The pioneers have seen countless planets bigger than this, but their shapes are just a little weird.
However, the biological reflex warning sound that had never sounded in 130 years made a virgin sound of "ding".
Everyone was as motionless as clay figures. Their hearts were extremely shocked. Their breathing stopped immediately. It was not until a long time later that someone instinctively made a hoarse voice.
"Oh God, this... is a creature?"
"How is this possible? It's unbelievable."
"Call Earth."
