Annihilation of the solar system
Chapter 375: Guardian
After the lunar rover climbed over a hill, the familiar yet unfamiliar central crater in the distance appeared in front of Zhou Cheng. Now he understood why he had not noticed its existence when he was high in the sky before.
The shield-shaped dome, which is as shiny as the moon, completely covers the mountain.
"This is a composite protective dome made of the strongest known alloy. It can resist the attacks of all high-energy weapons in the solar system. It is also equipped with lasers, kinetic energy weapons, high-energy rays, and the most sensitive detectors around it.
testing systems and the most elite combat spacecraft squadrons.
Space forts and combat spaceships are also deployed in the space from 700 to 100,000 kilometers. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the most powerfully armed area in the solar system." Xiao Li slowed down the car and said with excitement.
Zhou Cheng looked at the huge shield-shaped mountain that was getting closer, always feeling a little uneasy in his heart:
"It must have taken a lot of resources to build all of this."
The smile on Xiao Li's face faded and he said solemnly:
"This place was built as the first priority and all resources were concentrated. I heard my dad said that the moon and the earth completed the molecular industrial revolution simultaneously. But because the defense facilities in the central crater were given priority, our living and medical facilities were almost
It was delayed for more than a century."
Although Xiao Li didn't say it, Zhou Cheng understood the meaning. It meant that there were several generations of people who could have escaped the two chasms that separated people from disease and short life, but they were willing to bury themselves in the world where the wheel of history rolled over.
In the dust, choose to burn your life for the stability of future generations.
"This is really a barrier forged with life." Zhou Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

When Xiao Li was driving the lunar rover and was about to arrive under the central crater, Zhou Cheng saw the lunar rover with students on it again. The students on the lunar rover had already got off the vehicle and lined up in front of the sculpture in front of a hemispherical building.
Formed the square team.
Xiao Li parked the lunar rover next to the cart. After Zhou Cheng got off the car, he recognized that the hemispherical building was the sealed cabin of the project department of the former Central Crater Particle Accelerator. What surprised him even more was that after six and a half
Century years later, the sealed cabin of the project department still maintains the appearance of when he came.
The students stood in a neat formation facing the sculpture in front of the sealed cabin of the project department. A tall man like Xiao Li was telling the students something.
The sculpture was not large in size. Zhou Cheng couldn't see clearly the faces under the space helmets. He could only see clearly that they were wearing old-era space suits, cuddling together and holding something together.
Xiao Li sighed lightly and said:
"They are the first generation guardians, and the teacher is telling the students about their deeds. When we were in school, we would come here every year like these children to listen to the stories of heroes. Although since the first time we came here
I know those stories by heart, but every time I listen to the teacher’s narration, I can’t help crying.”
Zhou Cheng felt a wave of sadness in his heart, and the thrilling moment six and a half centuries ago seemed to come back to him. He stared at the statue blankly, and his vision began to become blurry.
At this time, the students in front of the sculpture all raised their right hands, clenched them into fists and raised them to their ears. There was no air in the moon, so I couldn't hear what they were saying. But it could be seen from their unified undulating bodies that
They were solemnly swearing an oath.
Xiao Li adjusted the frequency of the radio, and the children's tender yet firm voices came from the earphones:
"We will always remember that today's survival is hard-won. Every breath of air we breathe and every inch of land we walk on are soaked in the blood and sweat of our ancestors.
We must work hard to shoulder the heavy burden that civilization and the times have given us as soon as possible. Like our ancestors, we must be selfless and fearless guardians for the stability and continuation of civilization."
Listening to the sonorous oaths of the children and watching their tall and straight figures under the strong sunlight, Zhou Cheng was filled with emotions. At the same age as Hua Yi, children on earth can live and study in the most comfortable environment.
The type of knowledge they love, they can spend their holidays on the space station and get everything they want.
But the group of teenagers in front of them can only use their thin shoulders to shoulder the burden that survival has given them, whether they are willing or forced. A burst of sorrow mixed with inexplicable anger surged in Zhou Cheng's heart, and he suddenly felt this way.
This cruel tenacity gave rise to the slightest suspicion.
After the children finished taking the oath, they placed the prepared flowers in front of the sculpture one by one, saluted solemnly, and then returned to the car in a neat queue.
Xiao Li and Zhou Cheng walked towards the sculpture surrounded by flowers. Although they had already guessed it, Zhou Cheng was still deeply shocked when the faces of Li Linjie and Ye Wanqing clearly appeared in front of him.
"It was they who used this gesture to hold up a shield of protection for civilization when mankind was at its most critical. After the war stopped, no matter how the outside world changed, they always stared firmly at the starry sky in front of them, ready to exercise their power at any time.
mission.
They have held the starter in their hands for more than 30 years. During this period, they have never left the sealed cabin behind them, and they have not allowed anyone or other civilizations to approach. Apart from learning the latest situation from the radio, they have never contacted the outside world.
.
They practiced here like ascetics for more than 30 years, until their bodies were too old to complete the mission, and then they handed the starter into the hands of the next guardian." Xiao Li generously told about Li Linjie and
Ye Wanqing’s deeds.
"Did they return to human society later?" Zhou Cheng's voice became a little more choked up.
Xiao Li sighed with tears in his eyes and shook his head slowly:
"The base prepared a simple but solemn resignation ceremony for them, and also prepared for them the best living conditions on the moon at that time. But on the way back, they closed their eyes forever. There was only 1 in their suicide notes.
In short, bury them together here. They are the greatest guardians, heroes who defend civilization!"
"Yes, they are real warriors, they are heroes who dare to challenge the years and fulfill their promises!" Zhou Cheng said in a hoarse voice.
After saying that, he took out the glittering Nobel Prize medal from his storage bag and placed it at the foot of the sculpture. Then he bowed deeply.
"Lin Jie, Wan Qing. Civilization and the times will always remember you. Compared with you, the little things I have done are simply not worth mentioning."
Xiao Li suddenly turned around and looked at Zhou Cheng in surprise with his tear-stained eyes:
"Professor Zhou, do you know them?"
Zhou Cheng nodded, and Xiao Li asked:
"Can you tell me what kind of people they are? They are symbols of will and determination in all of us. We all want to know what legends they experienced before becoming guardians."
Looking at Xiao Li's longing eyes, Zhou Cheng took a deep breath, suppressed his sadness, and said lightly:
"Children, there are no legends in them. They are just like you, just one of thousands of ordinary young people. When they are driven by the great wheel of the times onto a road that does not belong to them, they will also be afraid and will
Frightened, will cry.
Talk app—
Like them, you have never had the slightest doubt about the responsibilities you shoulder. Even if that responsibility will torture you for a lifetime or even kill you, you have never wavered. You have never complained about your fate.
You don’t care about the injustice, you are all the guardians of civilization.”
