The first volume sets sail Chapter 4: The Day the Moon Sets Off
With the participation of two new advanced artificial intelligence quantum computers, Yinghuo and Qiming, the construction speed of planetary engines has immediately seen a qualitative improvement.
In particular, the twenty engines on the moon were the first to be successfully built.
On the African savannah, the afterglow of the setting sun casts a golden hue on the wild African land.
Lin Xu, wearing a full-body powered exoskeleton armor, sat among a group of lions, reaching out and stroking a male lion like he was stroking a cat.
The lion was held down by the palm of Lin Xu's exoskeleton armor. Even if it was unwilling, it had no other choice.
It's like a wild cat can't resist humans.
Lions are also unable to resist humans wearing powered exoskeleton armor.
Especially after it tried to bite Lin Xu's arm and ended up losing two teeth, it immediately became as obedient as possible.
Lin Xu, who had fulfilled his wish to pet the lion, had a satisfied smile on his face under his helmet.
In the RV on the magnetic levitation traction platform not far away, Miss Qiu slowly walked towards where Lin Xu was.
With her silver hair draped over her shoulders and wearing a professional suit, she looks like an ordinary white-collar beauty. Apart from being extremely beautiful, there is nothing special about her.
The group of lions surrounding Lin Xu, who were helpless against Lin Xu, immediately became agitated again.
One of the lions roared and pounced towards Miss Qiu, who looked extremely fragile.
But Miss Qiu just waved her hand calmly, as if to shoo away a fly, and the palm hit the joint of the lion's jaw.
With a bang, the lion was knocked to the ground, whimpering, and struggled for a long time without getting up.
Looking at the jaw again, it was completely dislocated.
Not far away, a robot took the initiative to step forward and help the dislocated lion to heal. All the lions lay down obediently and no one dared to provoke Miss Qiu again.
"Master, the hibernation chamber is ready, you should prepare to hibernate." Miss Qiu reminded.
"Wait a little longer, let me take one last look at the moon." Lin Xu looked up at the sky and patted the lion's butt with his hand.
When he was still together with his ex-girlfriend, they had a tabby cat named Goudan in their little home. At that time, Goudan liked Lin Xu to pat its butt the most.
As long as he was slapped on the butt, the originally very cool Goudan would immediately collapse into a ball, making a snoring sound in his throat.
Every time this happened, the ex- girlfriend would grab Goudan out of jealousy and ask him why he only kissed his father and not his mother.
Unfortunately, Lin Xu was later diagnosed with advanced cancer. After his ex-girlfriend cried bitterly in front of his bed, she moved out of their home with Goudan and disappeared. Since then, Lin Xu has never seen Goudan again, and he doesn't know how he is doing.
Night fell, the starry sky over the African savannah was brilliant and magnificent, and the moon also appeared exceptionally bright.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the last normal full moon that can be seen on Earth. Soon the moon will be pushed out of orbit and head towards Mars.
From then on, such a bright full moon will never be seen on Earth again. As time goes by, the moon will become farther and farther away and smaller, until it is far enough away that it can no longer be seen.
"Human Lin Xu, do you want to give the order to ignite the fire yourself?" Taiyin's voice came.
Compared with Miss Qiu, who also has advanced artificial intelligence but still behaves dullly, and Yinghuo, Qiming, and Taiyin, an advanced artificial intelligence that has existed for tens of thousands of years, they obviously feel like more intelligent creatures.
At least at this time, it could sense Lin Xu's emotional side and then ask questions.
"Are you ready?" Lin Xu asked.
"I'm ready."
" Ready , Master."
Taiyin, Yinghuo and Qiming, three voices came at the same time.
Lin Xu, wearing a powered exoskeleton, took the glass of wine handed over by Miss Qiu, raised his glass to the moon, opened a gap in his mask, drank it in one gulp, and then gave an order.
"Light it up."
In an instant, Lin Xu, who was on the African savannah, saw a dozen tiny beams of light appear on the moon in the sky.
The beam of light looked extremely weak, but it was eternal.
Everything has begun. Although the moon doesn't seem to have changed much now, Lin Xu knows that in a few days, the moon will become smaller and smaller until it can no longer be seen.
At the same time, because of the departure of the moon, the entire ecosystem on the earth will also suffer a devastating disaster.
First of all, the tides will not be so frequent, and a large number of marine creatures that rely on the rise and fall of the tides for survival will become extinct.
The Earth's magnetic field will then change, and migratory birds will no longer be able to use the magnetic field to determine directions and find food.
The weather will also become unpredictable, the Poles and the South Pole will melt, and tropical rainforests will dry up.
The most important thing is that the rotation speed of the earth will also increase, and the length of a day will be greatly shortened.
All of this is naturally nothing to the earth itself, but it is a catastrophe for life on the surface of the earth.
"Let's include them in the African ecosystem plan." Lin Xu said as he scratched the lion's chin like he was petting a cat.
"Yes, master." Miss Qiu, who was in charge of the ecosystem project, replied.
The so-called ecosystem plan is that Lin Xu plans to build several ecosystems on the earth that simulate various environments.
There are African ecosystems, Asian ecosystems, American ecosystems, desert ecosystems, rainforest ecosystems, marine ecosystems, and so on.
Part of these ecosystems will be built underground in the planetary engines, using the heat energy generated by the operation of the planetary engines to maintain the operation of the ecosystems.
Another part is built on the original location above the ground, using ecological dome technology and nuclear fusion sun to simulate a normal sky.
Although all animals and plants on the earth have genetic backups, Lin Xu still feels that it is necessary to preserve some ecosystems.
Even if it can be used as a place to relax occasionally during future space travel, it would be good.
After all, in space travel, mentality is very important.
The existence of these ecosystems that maintain the original appearance of the earth is very beneficial for regulating the body and mind.
After arranging everything, Lin Xu finally let the lions go and let them leave.
After a series of mechanical clicking sounds, the powered exoskeleton opened and Lin Xu walked out.
Miss Qiu next to her had already set up the barbecue grill and was grilling two large pieces of fresh beef.
Speaking of which, this was the lions' prey just now, but now it belongs to Lin Xu.
Of course, Lin Xu couldn't eat the whole buffalo, so Miss Qiu only cut two of the best pieces of meat, and the whole buffalo was still taken away by the lion group.
"Where is the hibernation chamber placed?"
"The Skydome Space Station."
"Twenty years. When I wake up in twenty years, the earth will look completely different." Lin Xu sighed.
"Yes." Miss Qiu answered in a serious tone, her hands still preparing the roast beef.
It was not until an hour later that an aerospace fighter rose from the sky above the African grasslands and sped towards low-Earth orbit.
There, the Sky Space Station was on standby.
