Star Railway: Building a Foundation from the Beginning

As the blessing appeared, outside the screen, Jiang Wenhan's voice sounded again.

[This sentence is not only said to us humans by that unknown civilization, but also what I want to say to my grandfather.] 】

[My impression of him is that he is determined to die when he takes the initiative to carry out the Foundation's flight mission. 】

[A message in the Blue Bird's file, and the praise that has been updated again after more than 2,000 years, is the last message he left for our entire family. 】

[When the news of my grandfather's disappearance and the entire exploration fleet came out, our family fell silent. 】

"It is our family's destiny to chase the blue bird, and your grandfather also followed the blue bird. That's what my father said to me. 】

[My father's attitude towards the blue bird has always been very ambivalent. 】

[On the one hand, the blue bird has been rooted in the blood of our family since ancient times, and it is the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West, and it is also the auspicious fortune that has blessed us to this day. 】

[On the other hand, the blue bird is likely to be just a beautiful misunderstanding, without substance, but it has cost the lives and dreams of a hundred generations of the family. 】

[But in the end, he chose to deceive himself, and kept looking for traces of the blue bird in the vast sea of books and documents, just because there was the last message left by my grandfather. 】

And now, I'm going to start doing the same thing. 】

[After being verbally rejected and persuaded to no avail, I still wrote a report and submitted it, with a little luck in my heart. 】

"What if?" "What if?" I convinced myself that I threw the report into thousands of applications. 】

[Sure enough, the stone sank into the sea. 】

[In this way, the first experiment did not have the turn of the blue bird, nor did the second time, and the third and fourth ......]

[Our experiments are extremely mature. 】

[Through optical stealth technology, we can make the aircraft hide in the earth's atmosphere without a trace.] 】

[We have verified topics of public interest such as why dinosaurs became extinct, as well as the founders of the earth's crust, pre-primate civilizations, and children of the night, topics that only the Foundation cares about.] 】

[We have witnessed the torch of civilization burning on this land, and we have also witnessed the earth-shaking battle between the two gods at the beginning of human civilization. 】

[The final mystery of the earth has been solved little by little by humans, but it does not include the blue bird. 】

[For each experiment call, I will submit an application report to the Institute of Earth History.] 】

[The more I write my report.] 】

[From the first time I was able to write on a thin three-page paper, to the twenty-sixth time it was three times the length of my doctoral dissertation.] 】

[I always thought that the blue bird would be chosen, but the moment I was looking forward to never came. 】

[Until the submission of the call for proposals for the 27th experiment......]

......

After submitting the report, Jiang Wenhan only exhaled softly, and at the same time stood up and walked to the bulkhead of the space station.

Today, the space station is still quite quiet.

This is not so much a reflection of the high quality of the Foundation's personnel, but rather that each space station is too large and there are too few living people inside.

In the interstellar fortress, which is far larger than the mountains, there are less than 10,000 people, and a considerable number of them are still temporarily resting here, and will continue to expedition to the deep space of the universe.

Jiang Wenhan didn't make any other moves, he just looked at the universe in silence, observing the gas giant not far away.

Ribbons of brilliant clouds flowed slowly across her surface, outlining a whirlpool around the entire superstar, and several large circles of storms like crimson eyes swirled in front of them.

What a wonderful sight...... Jiang Wenhan felt a little tired.

In order to write the twenty-seventh report, he worked without sleep for five days and four nights.

Even after a series of reinforcements and treatments, there is still a risk of sudden death.

Flattening the office chair and turning on the massage mode, Jiang Wenhan took off the white coat on his body and covered his body, and quietly closed his eyelids.

When he heard a familiar sound of footsteps, and when he rose from the dream and woke up, he saw a figure in a white coat sitting not far away, drinking tea without taking a sip.

That was Jiang Wenhan's old friend.

He has a name that can be put in the past and can make many people fearful - Ji Wei.

The guy, who is now Researcher 4 and the head of a department, put down his teacup and asked:

"Submitted another report~?"

"yes. "

After speaking, Jiang Wenhan adjusted the posture of the chair until he saw the profound picture of the universe again.

"I said before that you were a bull, but now I don't think so, no matter how strong a cow is, if you hit the wall twenty-six times in a row, you won't think about hitting it again. Ji Wei said.

"That's right, but there's no way, who calls this our family's long-cherished wish?"

Jiang Wenhan yawned, woke up the screen, looked at the current time, it was good, and he slept for an hour.

"What's more, those projects that are more important than the blue bird, one is counted as one, they have all been studied, and the truth has been ascertained. "

"It's the bluebird's turn. "

Ji Wei looked helpless.

Of course he knows this, the two have played since childhood, and even briefly became rivals in love, and they are real conjugated father and son.

"Then if it's not your turn, do you stare at it? Or are you going to write another academic monograph and hand it in?"

"I bet that guy Qian Lunfeng has a big head when he sees your report now - a few glances at other people's reports is enough, to your ......"

As he spoke, Ji Wei gestured.

First, the first and second sections of the index finger were parallel to the thumb, but the gap seemed to be a little large, so I used two hands to figure it up.

"Wow, good fellow, it's thicker and thicker each time, and you have to read it patiently and carefully. "

"Oh, I see, you kid, you're using this way to force the old money to submit - just your old boy doesn't pass my project, right, okay, who's afraid of whom, come, hurt each other!"

Jiang Wenhan smiled when he heard this:

"That's less than the Ten Thousand Tribulations, and when I saw that the paper report of the Ten Thousand Tribulations was submitted, I pushed it directly with a wheelbarrow. "

"Ten Thousand Tribulations......" Ji Wei fell silent at first, as if thinking about something, but gradually smiled again.

"To be honest, there are a lot of ancient myths in there, and the devil knows how much divinity is involved in it, and how much is the supreme divinity. "

"And when it comes to the Supreme, you also know that they are the only beings in the multiverse, and in parallel universes, we see at most events with similar effects happening, and we cannot use parallel universes to know our past. "

"So their report was rejected ......again and again," Jiang Wenhan said casually.

Just then, his computer rang with another email prompt.

"See?" Ji Wei suddenly became interested, and leaned in front of the screen, his face full of joy.

It was no different from gossiping when I was a student.

"I'm a grandfather, and I haven't been doing anything right all day long, so I'm going, I'm going!"

Jiang Wenhan casually slapped Ji Wei's big face away and clicked on the email.

Immediately, the email headline caught his eye.

[Notice of the 27th Parallel Space-Time Refractive Experiment (8/26/2096)]

Such notifications are sent out in bulk at each time, there is no advance notice, and the "winners" are not notified individually.

Previously, Jiang Wenhan had received twenty-six such notification emails and was disappointed twenty-six times.

After losing again and again, he has long been accustomed to, or rather, numb.

If it weren't for the old Biden today, he would probably have taken a casual look and continued to work until the twenty-eighth call for submissions began.

"Hehe, I don't care about an old friend. Speaking of this, Ji Wei lowered his voice.

"It's exactly the same as when you fell out of love in middle school. "

"Say one more word, you give me a hemp slip out!" (read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Okay, okay, you're a fifth-level superpower, and I'm just a fourth-level little Karami. "

Agent Wei made such a fuss, Jiang Wenhan was completely sober.

He rubbed his face and read it.

But after reading a few lines, his gaze froze, and then a sense of unreality came over him.

[To all members of the Shenzhou Branch of the Foundation:]

[I am pleased to inform you that after a week of call for proposals and public voting. 】

[In the twenty-seventh experiment, we will adopt a proposal from the Institute of Earth History to study one of the biggest puzzles in the history of the Shenzhou Branch, the Blue Bird.] 】

[It is designated Containment-C-1559, which was once an Alien Society archive, and is designated Alien Ninety-Nine.] 】

[This archive occupies a very important position in the study of the development history of the universe of the Shenzhou civilization. 】

[This file records the legend that a small blue and white bird appeared in the Tianqu near the Yangtze River valley in the evening Shang and throughout the Zhou Dynasty. 】

[Legend has it that this bird flies in the sky every spring dusk.] 】

[Its appearance aroused the curiosity of the local population about the sky, which led to a sharp increase in the number of people observing the starry sky during the same period.] 】

[We found that there are many concepts about the universe in the Shenzhou civilization, including the stars and many cosmic myths, and even the earliest astronomical work in the history of Shenzhou, "Ganshi Xingjing"]

[It may all be related to the fact that this bird has aroused human curiosity about the sky and the universe.] 】

[Over the years, we have not found any direct evidence of its existence, but the Foundation has always believed that it actually existed.] 】

[You should know that the bamboo slip's description of the anomaly is very accurate, and there is no reason for it to make a mistake on such an important anomaly.] 】

[We don't know what this bird is until today, but we've been looking for it.] 】

[It may not have anomalous properties, but it has planted the seeds for the beginning of our current cosmic age.] 】

[This is the feeling of all the voyagers of the Foundation in the interstellar age to explore the origin.] 】

【Qian Lun Peak】

【President of the Academy of Space Sciences, Shenzhou Branch】

[August 26, 2096 in the Earth calendar]

[at Station-C-62028]

"'Well, I've got you this stubborn cow done. Ji Wei looked at Jiang Wenhan, who was so excited that he couldn't speak, and followed silly.

It's as if he's in charge of a major breakthrough in a project.

"You can't talk about it if you don't have a treat today. "

"Wait, let me take a break. Jiang Wenhan read the content of the email again, read the word blue bird several times, and finally leaned back, as if lying down, and softened on the chair.

"It's really past ......," he stared silently at the ceiling of the cabin.

The bright lights seemed to turn into flying birds, hovering in the sky, singing, inviting him to travel across time and space.

...... []

[On the day of the official experiment, I was invited to Station-C-62028, where the headquarters of the Academy of Space Sciences is located, to watch the Foundation's exploration of the Earth during the Warring States Period. 】

[We have chosen 324 B.C.E. as the target time for exploration.] 】

[This year, Qu Yuan became the left disciple of the Chu State, and my ancestor became the left history of the Chu State the year before. 】

[This year, the bluebird shines in the spring sky thirty-two times. 】

[At the Academy of Space Sciences, I met my old classmate and the commander of this mission, Dr. Zhang Hanyu. 】

Jiang Wenhan looked at the researcher in a white coat not far away, his face was excited.

"Lao Zhang!"

"Oh, this isn't our Director Jiang!"

The two old classmates hugged each other tightly and patted each other on the back, as if wrestling, waiting for each other to beg for mercy.

This greeting lasted only a short time.

After a while, Zhang Hanyu dragged Jiang Wenhan and walked to the depths of the researcher, saying as he walked:

"As soon as I saw that this project was called Blue Bird, I knew it must be you. "

What's the matter, just to squat me?"

"That's not it," Zhang Hanyu sighed and turned his head to look at his old classmates, "Since the beginning of the interstellar era, our group of classmates have gone their separate ways in the true sense of the word, and they are in the north and south of the world. "

"At this point in time, everybody is busy exploring deep space, planning blueprints, or taking charge of projects...... It's rare to see each other once. "

"That's right,......" Jiang Wenhan also sighed.

The territory of mankind is getting bigger and bigger, and the huge population that used to be a headache has now become the biggest constraint on colonization.

Even within the Foundation, there has been a lot of debate about whether or not to produce humans to fill the void.

"Okay, we'll talk about it later, let's get down to business first. Zhang Hanyu patted Jiang Wenhan on the shoulder, and led the latter through the passage to an extremely spacious hangar.

On the flat ground, the space-time warp is silently resting there.

It doesn't look much like a modern large space vehicle, but rather a bit like the aircraft that Earth used for air traffic in the pre-interstellar era - airplanes.

At the beginning of the last century, the predecessor of the Heterogeneous Society, and also the predecessor of the Shenzhou aviation field, the engineer Feng Ru, built the first aircraft in Shenzhou.

He eventually died in a failed flight and became an evangelist for China's aviation career.

And today, even though we have moved towards the stars, we still need to follow the ideas of the pioneers in the field of aviation, including the Wright brothers and Feng Ru, when we return to Earth.

Next to the hatch of the aircraft, stood the performer of this mission.

He was wearing a full set of Foundation casual spacesuits, carrying a helmet in his hand, his spirit was radiant, his eye sockets were relatively deep, and he seemed to have a bit of Western Regions blood.

"It's almost time, let's go, go to the headquarters!" Zhang Hanyu said solemnly.

"Okay!" Jiang Wenhan said.
