Eight weeks into the Earth's emergency mass production operation, Zhou Cheng stood with his hands behind his hands in front of the huge checkered glass curtain wall in the Eternal Palace Hall. The air was calm and depressing, and gray clouds weighed heavily on the sky.
The gloomy sky makes it difficult to see the current moment, but no one cares about time anymore. People are spinning around 24 hours a day. The change of day and night and time zone time are meaningless to them. All everyone cares about is the countdown to the completion of the moon-catching project.
A violent storm had just ended, and occasionally purple lightning flashed in the clouds. The space-time avenue that was originally paved with colored stones was now covered with a layer of mud due to the continuous violent storm a while ago.
Broken branches of trees, blown-off street signs and other indiscernible garbage were scattered messily on the mud. The exterior walls of the once colorful and gorgeous buildings on both sides of the avenue were also splashed with mud, and it seemed that you could smell it even through the curtain walls.
There was a fishy smell of mud. The whole city looked damp and dirty, as if it had been flooded for many years and had just surfaced.
The broken space-time bridge in the distance looks like a cliff to the steel city on the other side. Most of the metal high-rise buildings that once stood there have flown out of space and combined into human-like spaceships. The remaining high-rise buildings stand alone on the lifeless opposite bank.
, like tombstones in a cemetery.
Today is the last day of the eighth week. As usual, Zhou Cheng will listen to reports from experts in various fields in the Eternal Palace. Because it is at a critical time, there are many more people in the hall of the Eternal Palace than before. Various data and statistics are displayed.
The projection of the chart unfolded before Zhou Cheng's eyes, and an officer began a briefing:
"After eight weeks of overloaded production by the Earth's industrial system, the production completion rate of industrial parts required for the 'Moon Project' has exceeded 82%, the space transportation volume has also been completed to 77%, and the completion rate of the lunar base parts installation project has reached
71%.

The overall plan is progressing smoothly, and the completion progress of each branch project is ahead of schedule. According to the current progress, the entire 'moon project' can be completed three days ahead of schedule at the latest."
Although everyone in the hall had thick dark circles under their eyes and their faces were ashen, they still showed happy smiles on their faces.
Due to the position of the Earth-Moon orbit, completing the plan ahead of schedule cannot set sail ahead of schedule. But everyone is working hard and can't wait to break one second into two seconds, because only in this way can people alleviate the futility of it all.
, the fear of this possible ending.
"What about population migration?" Zhou Cheng asked.
"Currently, 44% of the total population is performing installation work and adaptive training on the moon, 39% of the total population is performing transportation tasks on the space station and transfer orbit, and 17% of the total population is continuing to complete the remaining production and transportation tasks on the earth.
.The moon is now the busiest place in the solar system!”
The officer's last joking words relaxed the tense atmosphere, and the crowd broke the solemn silence. Everyone started whispering. Zhou Cheng didn't want to ruin this rare and relaxing atmosphere, but human beings are still fighting against time.
During the race, the finish line was still a fog. He raised his voice:
"In addition to the installation work on the moon, the most important task now is to prepare in advance for the final evacuation. We must ensure that no one of our compatriots is left on the earth before the node date comes."
The officer looked embarrassed, hesitated and said:
"This is also a special issue I want to ask you for. There are no detailed requirements for population evacuation in the entire plan. I heard a situation during my inspection. A very small number of people want to stay on Earth after the emergency production is completed.
.
They unreservedly did their last bit for mankind, but they were unwilling to leave their homeland. For this group of people, should we respect their wishes, or..."

Zhou Cheng turned around, his face darkened, he stared at the officer with burning eyes, and interrupted his report sternly:
"Our civilization has once again reached a critical moment of life and death. At this time, any respect for individuals and democracy is irresponsible to the entire civilization. We can only implement the strongest will to survive unimpeded into every cell
, it is possible to get out of the current predicament.”
Zhou Cheng paused, took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, and said calmly:
"Be prepared in advance. No matter what method is used, we must ensure that everyone evacuates the earth before the node date arrives. We have left too many things behind, and we cannot leave anything behind now, especially people!
Wandering in the universe for tens of thousands of years in the future may be more difficult and dangerous than now, and every bit of strength may be our hope. All actions must be subject to command, including evacuation! This is an order, not a choice."
"Yes! I understand!" the officer replied sonorously.
"Have you observed the situation of Rain Man Tissot and the Humanoid Fleet?" Zhou Cheng's emotions had completely calmed down.
The officer replied:
"According to recent observation records, they have all flown through the Kuiper Belt. Through Doppler effect analysis, the speed of Tissot has reached 1/3 of the speed of light, and the speed of the humanoid fleet has also exceeded 1/1 of the speed of light.
4, and is still accelerating.
However, due to the obstruction of Kuiper belt asteroids and interstellar dust, the relativistic effect caused by speed, and we do not have more resources and equipment to organize centralized observations, etc. These are the results of the latest effective observation, and the latest observation data are not
What’s the reference significance?”

Zhou Cheng nodded:
"I understand, you can proceed as planned."
After dealing with some specific technical issues reported by experts in various fields, the crowd in the hall has gradually dispersed, and everyone is still racing against time to get back to the final sprint.
The passage of time is like winding up the fate of mankind invisibly. Everyone personally feels the urgency of time like a sharp knife at the throat. The ticking of seconds is tapping people's tense hearts all the time.
Heartstrings.
In this fierce battle from the beginning, everyone is trying to push themselves and the limits of human capabilities to wider boundaries every moment. As the countdown approaches, emergency production is also pushed to a wider boundary.
In an extremely tense atmosphere.
But Zhou Cheng was just the opposite. He became one of the very few people among more than 700 million humans who became more and more leisurely as the countdown got closer and closer. After setting up this magnificent chess game, as each chess piece fell into its proper place,
Instead, his actual work became less and less.
All he has to do now is to wait for the moment when the flowers bloom, and then taste whether the stamens leave human beings with nectar or poison.
After the crowd dispersed, Zhou Cheng was the only one left in the hall of the Eternal Palace. These days, he didn't think about those programmatic mathematical models and trivial technical details. Because, if these things go wrong, it will be too late.
.What's more, he is very sure that he will not be wrong.
When Zhou Cheng walked out of the Eternal Palace, the sky was already low. There were still a few figures on the edge of the mud-covered square, anxiously waiting for the spacecraft to pick them up and return to work.
The flowing clouds above my head began to disperse towards the sky at some point, and the background of the starry sky appeared among the black clouds. This was what Zhou Cheng wanted to see the most, and what he was most afraid of seeing.

Because as long as the starry sky is still there, it proves that the hope of mankind is still there. If the starry sky has disappeared when he looks up, it means that the door to time and space has been closed. Before that, he will not get any warning.
