    The Emperor of the Mountain has disappeared, but no one dares to disobey Old Man Zhuang's instructions on the funeral, and there is no need to disobey. Sending the deceased elders back to their hometown is what the descendants should do, which is basic human ethics.  Except for those close to Mr. Zhuang who were designated by Mr. Zhuang during his lifetime, the members of the funeral team were all selected by the management of the family. The clan office started work the next day on New Year's Day.

    Mr. Zhuang has a total of 23 children, including biological and adopted children. These children now have a large number of descendants.  Based on this, the Zongren Mansion selected a group from each department, plus nearly 20,000 people from the Tailen Kingdom delegation, the Shakenli delegation, the Samboman delegation and the management and officers and soldiers of various forces who were watching the ceremony.

    The list had just been finalized, and the theory of "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" was revived on Shanxing.com, but both the Shakenli delegation and the Samboman delegation firmly denied it. In the end, nothing was done, and everyone's attention turned to the copy of the "Shantou"  Good quality.

    On January 6, the IAIF delegation euphemistically put forward a proposal, hoping to bring the recovering "Shantou" back to Earth.  That antique ship was the first interstellar manned spacecraft to fly out of the solar system in the history of IAIF. It was the pinnacle of the end of the 21st century and was of great significance to the IAEF people.  Without it, the history of IAEF's spaceflight would not be complete.

    Although Bedford repeatedly assured that he had no political intentions and that Ief would not use the "Hilltop" as a political weapon in the future, Kalemmi still refused without hesitation.  For the family management, the "Shantou" is also of great significance. Whether Iaver's aerospace history is complete or not has nothing to do with him.

    When Bedford went there, he knew that the possibility of getting the "Top" was very slim, so he asked for a replica instead.  Kalemmi readily agreed, and using a replica of the "Shantou" to transport the ashes of the founder of the family back to his hometown was also a kind of commemoration.

    Construction of the replica started in June 2907 and was undertaken by Beizhou Haimo Group.  It is not easy to restore old antiques. Fortunately, Shanyang Mansion has accumulated rich experience in the construction process of "Xin Shantou". The historical information preserved by Mr. Zhuang is also very detailed. Haimo Group mobilized elite soldiers and generals, and with the support of all parties, in 2907  It was successfully completed in December of that year and passed the acceptance inspection of Shanyang Mansion.

    "Shantou" is a beautiful spaceship, fully equipped with shuttle type, divided into three parts. The centrifugal gravity device is in the middle of the spacecraft, and multiple living cabins are distributed on the annular belt.  Even with today's aesthetics, it's still worth it.  Unfortunately, the appearance cannot be equated with the technical level. Its nuclear power booster and vacuum energy engine are both antiques. It is very dangerous to re-enter the earth's atmosphere on its own and cannot land smoothly.  Besides, landing the whole ship was not considered at the beginning of the design. It was Elta who helped when we descended to the mountain star.

    ??Alta help?  The old naughty boy can help once, but he should be able to help a second time.  The clan then went to the Tianhua Islands to find Alta, but he was now in a humanoid body and could not output too much energy, so the road was blocked.

    When plan one failed, plan two came into play. Shanyang Mansion renovated a cargo spaceship "Evler", loaded a replica of "Shantou" into its belly, landed directly at the Weizhou Spaceport, and then used a giant truck to  Tow the "Shantou" to the Weizhou Aerospace Museum.

    Option two is feasible. The people involved don¡¯t want to waste any more energy. Old Man Zhuang didn¡¯t like waste when he was alive. Besides, building exhibits for Iaver is a loss-making business, so it¡¯s officially finalized.

    At one o'clock in the afternoon on January 10, 2907, the Zongren Mansion held a grand farewell ceremony. One-third of Mr. Zhuang's ashes were scattered on the land of Zhongzhou using a small sports plane, and the rest were put into two urns.  Then put it in the coffin.

    The coffin was towed from the ancestral temple to the Weissen Aerospace Port at 25:00 on January 10, and then transferred to the cabin of the replica of the "Shantou".  Even at a special moment, the Customs staff of the Civil Security Bureau still did not forget their responsibilities and worked on-site to conduct detailed inspections of the ten ships waiting to take off to prevent anyone from accidentally violating confidentiality regulations.

    At zero o'clock on January 11, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the "Evler" took off into the sky, flew around the mountain star, and then went straight to the Trumpet Galaxy to rendezvous with its companions.

    Yu Zhe is on the "Xinshantou". This large cruiser has been completely restored to its original appearance and all the old antiques have been dismantled.  The equipment has been greatly upgraded. Except for the captain who has not changed, the rest is not much similar to what we saw last time.

    Not a single member of the welcoming group was left behind, and there were also some special characters, such as Sanggu, Chanei, etc.  Even Logella who was as far away as Tabos could survive. Naturally, these people who died on the Hilltop Star could not die so easily.  Old Man Zhuang's wishful thinking came true. The only miscalculation was the time when he captured the old dog Proto. Except for Li Mosi and Li Mohan who were reborn, everyone else was too dead to die. The old dog simply did not preserve the lives of those unlucky people in his body.  imprint.  The reason why Old Man Zhuang inflicted such horrific punishments was not only because the Proto technology he grabbed could upgrade Zhuang Tou's design without the need to decompose the old dog Proto, but it was also related to the old dog's randomness.

    "General, what's going on?" Yu Zhe was thinking, and the confused Li Mosi started to get to the bottom of it.

      Yu Zhe was a little impatient, "How do I know Qu Long is over there? Go over and ask him."

    Li Mosi then rushed to find a computer expert, but the ball was quickly kicked back.  Qu Long has a professional doctorate, not a doctorate in philosophy, so he doesn't really understand these comprehensive solutions that go beyond pure technology.

    None of the crew and passengers of the "Xinshantou" had studied the theory thoroughly. The confused man looked for advice everywhere, and was kicked around like a ball. In the end, Leiyatong patiently explained some things, but the explanation was not as good as the explanation.  They were all confused by what they heard. There happened to be something to see outside, so they stopped and stared out the window together.

    The Horn Galaxy has gathered tens of thousands of ships, neatly arranged in space, majestic and spectacular.  The funeral procession consisted of ten ships. The largest ship was a cruiser, which was very small. But this time there was far more than a funeral procession. The reborn people and prisoners of war all took the spacecraft that came to Shantou Star from Earth's descendants and relatives and friends to return to their hometowns.  Not a single one of the officers and soldiers of the Iive Space Force died in the battle of the Rashahan System, and only 80% of those who came to Shantou Star to find trouble returned. It was probably not a technical problem, but that Old Man Zhuang believed that those people deserved to die and did not deserve to live.

    "Sister Lanzhi, why are we coming to the Horn Galaxy?" Yu Zhe was confused.

    Lanzhi said: "Mingyue Express has just opened what is known as the safest high-speed channel in the Milky Way. We will pass through the space gate directly to the boundary of Iive. The star field at the exit of the channel is less than a thousand light years away from the earth."

    Yu Zhe suddenly became interested, "What space door?"

    Lanzhi chuckled, "It will start soon, you can take a look."

    The former secretary¡¯s words were so serious that the crew and passengers turned to look out the window.  Three gray spheres suddenly appeared in the dark space, slowly rotating around a certain point, gradually accelerating, and finally a hole with white light on the periphery appeared in the center of the circle, gradually expanding to a diameter large enough for the largest ship to easily pass through.  White light quickly filled the entire entrance of the cave. The inside of the cave seemed colorful, while the outside turned pitch black.

    Yu Zhe was dumbfounded. It took him a long time to ask cautiously: "Are they the transporters of the Weiyang system? They seem to be similar to the small gray balls that appeared during the battle of the Lhasahan system, but they are much bigger."

    Lanzhi smiled and said: "You, you can't always adjust your vision. The transporters in various parts of the galaxy are of different sizes, but each one has a diameter of no less than two hundred kilometers and a huge mass. Li Xinyue's advertisement said that they are the most powerful ones.  An excellent mobile space door maker who can establish a safe teleportation point in any suitable star field. After Mr. Zhuang caught the old dog Proto, the one who benefited the most was the Weiyang system. The General Manager of Yunge and General Manager Ranxin also returned due to the distribution of loot.  I once went to the ancestral temple to file a lawsuit. Shantouxing has two kinds of space door technologies, and the Min'an Government will build fixed space doors one after another according to actual needs in the future."

    Yu Zhe frowned, "Is the transporter a weapon?"

    Lanzhi shook her head, "They are mainly for civilian use, the quantity is small, and the construction cost is high. Shantouxing cannot build too many, and most of the previous funds have been eaten up by Zhuangtou."

    Yu Zhe was a little skeptical, "Then how could they destroy the huge Proto fleet?"

    Lanzhi was speechless, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk in circles with you. Cannonballs can kill people, and trains can also hit and kill people. Transporters are paired in groups, and there are relay groups for ultra-long-distance transmission. Each group has four gray stars.  Spheres, there are two Weiyang clan members in each gray sphere. Three gray spheres are needed to maintain the moving space door on one side. If there are only two, it will be unbalanced and flatten the ships in the channel. Maintaining can pass  A battleship's hypertime portal requires much more energy and control technology than the destruction of a battleship. If you don't understand, think about the difference between a nuclear power plant and a nuclear bomb. Just because you see two gray balls, it doesn't mean there are only two. As far as I know  , when the Weiyang system was at its peak, there were hundreds of tribesmen in Lashahan and nearby systems. The main purpose should be to prevent Meiya from escaping. Your grandmother chose a good place, and she probably never thought that she would be trapped.  .¡±

    Yu Zhe scratched his head, "Then how does Mr. Zhuang know where the Proto fleet will come from?"

    Lanzhi pondered for a moment, "The Divine Realm has a terrifying ability, foreknowledge. In addition, there are many people from the Weishan and Weifeng families, so they can live in space for a long time. Teacher Zhuang knows the whereabouts of the Proto fleet very well, and set up an ambush early, and then borrowed the Proto battle star and  The Taibos strategic defense system competes with each other, disrupting the nearby space, and using space turbulence to squeeze the Proto fleet. It should be like this. You have to ask Li Xinyue what is going on, but she will most likely not tell, after all.  This is the secret of the Wei Yang system. In Teacher Zhuang¡¯s design, the relationship between the Wei Feng system and the Shan Yang system is difficult to figure out, and I couldn¡¯t understand it after thinking about it for a long time.¡±

    Yu Zhe raised his hands and surrendered, "Forget it, I don't want to understand either, I'm already too overwhelmed."

    While the two were talking, the ships in front entered the space gate one after another.  The piercing alarm bell rang, and except for the necessary operators, other crew members and passengers rushed to the sleep room.  Although Li Xinyue repeatedly confirmed that the mobile space door is veryIt is safe and the radiation is not large, but no one dares to take risks. It is safer to enter a hibernation room with medical protection.

    I have to say that the Commodore Chef is very good at sleeping. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he feels that there is nothing interesting to see in this trip to Yifu. After all, the funeral team is not a tourist group, and the set sleep time is very long.

    ¡­¡­

    "Get up, we're not far from the earth." Walikama patted Yu Zhe's face.

    Yu Zhe opened his hazy eyes and looked at the timetable. February 1, 2907, the year of the mountain star, June 14, 5295, the earth's year. It seemed that it only took less than a month.  6,720 light years is not short, so how can it be so fast?

    Vali saw his doubts and explained: "Actually, it can be faster. There are inspection and quarantine and the welcome ceremony of the federal government and the Space Force on the way, which delayed it for a while."

    Then he punched Yu Zhe and said, "Foolish people have foolish luck. They slept until dawn. The road was very boring. The fleet did not approach the inhabited star, and there are either stars or stars in the space."

    Yu Zhe chuckled, "I had expected it, so I chose to sleep and was too lazy to think about the time. This mobile space door is really amazing. It can actually allow so many ships to pass through at one time."

    Walikama grabbed his arm and dragged him outward, "Get up quickly. Don't lie down and talk to me. It will take a long time to prepare for going down to the earth. That is the home planet of the Iafu people, and there is a planetary strategic defense system.  Foreign civilizations are very strictly controlled.¡±

    Yu Zhe yawned and went directly into the cleaning room without any further delay. He came out in a short time, full of energy.

    Walikama looked envious, "The bodies of the Lunt people are really good. There is nothing strange after sleeping in space. No wonder Teacher Zhuang likes you and has transformed the Lunt people so perfectly. If nothing else happens, it is estimated that  In less than two thousand years, you will once again become one of the most powerful forces in the galaxy."

    Yu Zhe pursed his lips and did not answer. He walked nearby and patted the back of Qu Long, who was retching, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

    Qu Long raised his head and smiled bitterly, "The bodies of the descendants of Earth are not as good as those of the Weitai system, and they are not as good as those of the Weiguo system. Every time I get up from the dormant room, I feel very uncomfortable. No matter how good the technology is, it cannot change the innate weaknesses of the Earth's body."

    "Do you want to become a Lunte? The ultimate version of Weiguo is not only long-lived and strong, but also smart and can live in space for a long time." Yu Zhe joked.

    Qu Long shook his head like a rattle, "No, let's not talk about whether we can change. Even if we can change, it won't work. That would be a betrayal of the race. Ah, what's going on with you guys? You won't be tempted, right? Let me tell you, change  Cheng Lunte people, you are no longer your original selves. Your material foundation has changed, and your consciousness will change sooner or later. You may get lost, become prisoners of your body, and completely lose your humanity."

    The dormitory room was quiet. The computer expert paused for a while and continued chattering, "Yu Zhe was just joking. Don't think nonsense. And"

    Bratz was a little impatient, "Okay, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are. If the relationship between matter and consciousness were that simple, Teacher Zhuang wouldn't need to rack his brains to think of so many solutions."

    Qu Long immediately retorted, "Don't make nonsense. The reason why he strives to maintain his identity as an Earthling is related to his fear of getting lost in the increasingly powerful power. If he becomes a madman or a thug, he will completely forget the original purpose of developing Level 10.  In the end, he was defeated by the rules of the universe, and essentially believed that matter determines consciousness.¡±

    Su Dan beside him was a little crazy, "Are you done yet? The more you talk, the further you go!"

    Qu Long muttered: "I'm not wrong, it's not nonsense."

    Su Dan ignored him and took the lead to walk out. The others followed, and soon only the computer expert who was thinking hard and pretending to be a philosopher was left in the dormancy room.

    To enter the Earth, you must first go to the lunar quarantine station. The "Evler" took the lead, and ten ships landed in the Jinghai Spaceport where the lunar administrative center is located.  The plan of Xinjia Star was similar to that of the Moon. The architectural quality and technical level after the renovation were even better. The funeral team looked at it for a while and found it boring.  The commander of the Earth-Moon Defense Force took a look at the guest's attitude and without wasting any more time, he personally led the team to the LMB base ruins. Hundreds of people escorted the coffin and followed it to the low-altitude spacecraft.

    The lmb base is the first lunar outpost established by Wesson Technology, and it is also a component of the first complete space colony for the people on earth. A lot of thought and investment was put into it, which was higher than the income level and economic aggregate of the earth at that time.  It's amazing.

    The low-altitude spacecraft took the owner and guests to the Antarctic half an hour later. The ruins are very well protected. After all, this place is very commemorative.  Although the Iifu people did not like Old Man Zhuang before, history is history, and even if some things are tampered with, they cannot be erased.

    What you see in front of you is the full picture of the lmb base in its heyday, covering an area of ??40 square kilometers. It took 30 years to build, and has a controlled ecological life support system with a maximum capacity of 2000 people.  Living and rest areas, emergency shelters, biological cultivation areas, scientific research work areas, personnel training areas, energy areas, factory areas, warehouse areas and launch areas are all complete, complete and systematic.

    Yu Zhe came here with nostalgic thoughts. There are detailed information about the LMB base in Wesson Library, everything is detailed.  He can understand why Mr. Zhuang told him to bring his ashes to the LMB base. This is the first step for the old man to truly go into space. Without the LMB base, there would be no "Shantou" at all.  He was also amazed by the design plan of the lmb base. Some of the ideas will still have reference significance even three thousand years later. The ancient earth people took every step very steadily, and it was no accident that they became an interstellar civilization.  Although this race has many shortcomings, it also has many advantages. There are always some particularly smart people.

    Today is a funeral, not a trip. Even if it doesn¡¯t matter, you still have to pretend to be sad, lest you be laughed at by the people on earth and be thought of as heartless or inhumane.  Inhumanity is an extremely serious matter, and this is the biggest difference between high-level life and low-level life.  The Commodore Chef, who originally wanted to try out the leisure facilities in the centrifugal gravity area, stopped his steps sensibly and did not wander around.

    There are very few people at the LMB base, mainly reporters. Maybe the Earth-Moon Guards Command has cleared away the tourists.  Almost all of the people who came today were important people, and there was no room for any mistakes. Besides, the identity of the owner of the ashes in the coffin was extraordinary.  Regardless of his controversial history, at least he is now Iaif's benefactor.  Yu Zhe thought this way, and felt that the representatives of the Earth and Moon Guards should have similar thoughts. Their faces seemed to show respect from the bottom of their hearts, rather than being perfunctory. He hoped that Old Man Zhuang could get some comfort from the Spirit of Heaven.  He is not wishful thinking, his people also have integrity and are worthy of his efforts.

    The funeral delegation didn¡¯t stay long. They mainly took Old Man Zhuang¡¯s coffin for a walk, and soon returned to the spacecraft that had passed inspection and quarantine.  According to the arrangement, Yu Zhe and others left the "Xinshantou" and entered the "Eifler" to protect the spirit.  The fleet slowly left the Jinghai Spaceport and began to fly around the earth.

    Outside the window, the blue planet is very pure, and the land is full of green. The Iif people pay great attention to protecting their home planet and stopped mining very early. The earth is now an important tourist planet no less important than Rasma.

    "I didn't expect to come back in this way. When I was seriously injured and fell to the earth, I thought I was finished. It was impossible for a group of primitive people to build a spaceship that I could use. God treated me well." Alta said quietly.  explain.

    Yu Zhe looked at the baby face. He was a distinguished guest on the "Evler". He had been staying on the replica of the "Shantou" since the Wesson Spaceport and never left.  Perhaps in his mind, Old Man Zhuang is the most important person in his life so far, even more than his clan members. The two of them are both enemies and friends, which is extremely strange.  Old Man Zhuang is dead, but he is still alive, so he wants to send his friend's ashes back to his hometown to show his kindness.

    The old naughty boy who has always been crazy is now very serious, his face is full of memories. In the long life of the Kalus man, maybe he will never forget it for thousands of years.  Of course, it's also hard to forget. Kalesians have almost a photographic memory when they're not sleeping.

    "Elder, why do Kales people sleep?" Yu Zhe asked involuntarily as he thought about sleeping.

    Elta rolled her eyes, "It's useless to tell you, you don't understand. Well, there is one thing I can say. Sleeping by Kalus people and sleeping by carbon-based organisms are essentially two different things."

    The sad atmosphere was swept away by the Commodore Chef's question. Baby Face told the story of his travels on the Earth with great interest, some of which went beyond the recorded history of Evle. The crew and passengers of the "Evle" listened attentively to the story.  , until the captain warned that it was about to enter the atmosphere.

    Earth, the home planet of the Iever people, one of the mainstream civilizations in the galaxy, is a place that Yu Zhe always wanted to go to when he was in Tabos, but he never thought of stepping into the core of the Iever core as a mourner.
