Those who reincarnate must die.

In the following days, Zhang Lang first applied for dormitory accommodation. After all, according to Le Xinyi, the trip to Sky City would only last for a maximum of half a month, and he would spend the rest of the time in the dormitory.

As the end of the year approached, students packed up their things and went home one after another. Zhang Lang also tidied up his bed and moved to the designated dormitory building.

From then on, he had plenty of time to spend at the boxing gym every day, but because many students had left, business was not as good as before. In his spare time, besides secretly practicing his Beng Jin technique, he would go to other places in Yun Chuan to familiarize himself with the different areas.

This world calendar is based on the Earth's revolution around the sun, but ancient Eastern calendars were based on a combination of solar and lunar calendars, which conflicts somewhat with the unified global calendar. However, people in the East who respect tradition still regard the first day of the old calendar as the most important festival, namely the Spring Festival, or New Year's Day (note).

This is similar to Zhang Lang's hometown. Although Zhang Lang remembers that the world did not have a unified calendar at that time, he did hear that the calendars of the East and West were different and each followed its own system.

This year's New Year's Day seems to have come earlier than usual. The winter vacation had only been going on for a few days when the whole of ASEAN welcomed the festival. People decorated their homes with lanterns and colorful decorations, set off firecrackers, families reunited, ate traditional delicacies, and watched the New Year's Eve live broadcast on TV. Everywhere was filled with the festive atmosphere.

On days like these, even students who stayed on campus and had accommodations had gone home and would return after the holiday. Now, Zhang Lang was the only one in the entire building. He was watching the lively gala live on his phone, listening to the bursts of firecrackers outside, and his thoughts drifted back to his hometown.

Once upon a time, there was also a day like this every year there...

Amidst solitude and clamor, Zhang Lang spent his first Spring Festival in the main world. Not long after, Le Xinyi found him, and everything was arranged so they could set off next week.

To travel from the Earth's surface to the Sky City, one needs to take a special space shuttle. Although it has been commercialized and is available at any airport of sufficient size, the time requirements are quite strict, and lateness or delays are not permitted.

After all, as a space city orbiting the Earth, it's most convenient to reach it when it's close to overhead. However, a sky city only takes a few hours to orbit the Earth. It might be overhead when you take off, but by the time you reach your altitude, it will have already flown to the other side of the Earth.

Therefore, the space shuttle must have its trajectory precisely estimated and lead time allowed to ensure that the takeoff time is accurate in order to successfully land in the Sky City.

Despite having experienced many mission worlds, Zhang Lang had never flown in an airplane, let alone a space shuttle!

When they met at the airport at the designated time, Zhang Lang knew almost nothing, and Le Xinyi and Ye Peng helped him with the procedures.

That's right, Ye Peng will also be going on this trip. He and Le Xinyi are cousins, and Le Xinyi's relatives are also his relatives, so he's actually closer to Ye Peng. Moreover, as a fellow reincarnator, he'll also be attending that gathering!

This was the first time Zhang Lang had seen Ye Peng since the mission ended.

This handsome young man, only slightly shorter than him, probably around 1.88 or 1.89 meters tall, was tall and slender, with striking good looks and a sunny disposition. He seemed a little nervous when he saw Zhang Lang again, but quickly adapted and even cracked a carefree joke, showing he was a very optimistic person.

After completing the formalities, the three boarded the space shuttle. Unlike ordinary airplanes, this aircraft stood upright next to the launch pad with its tail pointing downwards. It would then use a method similar to rocket launch to fly directly into the high altitude, pass through the atmosphere, and arrive at the Sky City.

Because of the unique takeoff method, passengers need to walk from the launch pad next to the plane to different heights to enter the cabin. Inside, it's like a building, divided into floors to accommodate more passengers.

Zhang Lang and his two companions were positioned at a relatively high altitude. They took the elevator all the way to the top, entered the cabin, and sat down. When the time came, passengers who had not yet boarded were considered to have automatically forfeited their seats, and the plane had to take off on time!

As the scenery outside rapidly descended and he felt the super gravity brought about by the accelerated ascent, Zhang Lang's first real space journey began.

Soon, the airport below had become a tiny dot, and then the entire city of Yunzhou shrank and disappeared. Next, the outline of the coastline began to appear, the shape of the continent slowly emerged, and then the landscape of the eastern land began to be obscured by clouds...

"Including the docking time with Sky City, the entire flight will take about two hours..." Ye Peng said to Zhang Lang, "You can take a nap first!"

"That long?" Zhang Lang felt the space shuttle was ascending at a very fast speed. "How high is Sky City?"

"I think it's over ten thousand kilometers?" Ye Peng seemed to remember vaguely. "That's indeed a bit slow, considering it only takes a dozen hours to reach the moon... It's said that because the journey is too short, acceleration and deceleration consume too much energy, so the speed to the Sky City can't be increased... It's said that the spaceships to Mars are much faster!"

But Zhang Lang couldn't sleep... He stared intently at the shrinking landscape outside the window, watching the Earth's outline gradually emerge, and suddenly felt how insignificant he was.

He may already be very strong, stronger than normal people and animals living on this planet, even stronger than machines invented by humans. Steel is as soft as butter in front of him, and rocks are as loose as cookies under his feet... But so what?

This planet is too huge, this world is too vast! Beyond this planet, there are even more vast galaxies, the universe... Compared to all of this, how insignificant he, this seemingly powerful reincarnator, is!

And his homeland, the place he wanted to revive, was also such a vast world…

A sense of powerlessness suddenly welled up in his heart...

Can my goals really be achieved? Can that destroyed world, those who died, truly be brought back to life?

It's often said that if you can demolish, you can build, but the difficulty of creation and destruction is never equal...

To bring a life into the world requires the union of male and female, ten months of pregnancy, careful care, and raising to adulthood... But to end a life, it only takes a few minutes for a knife to go in and out...

Building a skyscraper requires countless people, transporting tens of thousands of tons of materials, and taking months or even years to complete... but destroying it by planting explosives can cause the building to collapse in an instant...

Rebuilding a world is incredibly difficult...

Zhang Lang's hand, strong enough to crush steel, trembled slightly, but then he clenched it firmly again.

No matter how difficult it is, I will do it... As long as I keep earning points and getting stronger, one day I will be able to restore my homeland to the world!

During the two-hour journey, Zhang Lang felt no drowsiness whatsoever. He watched as the plane flew away from Earth, and soon, a huge, ring-shaped space city appeared before him. That must be the Sky City.

The spacecraft contained brochures about Sky City, the world's largest space station. Its main structure is a ring over 20 kilometers in diameter, with a band width exceeding 5 kilometers. The habitable area is approximately 270 square kilometers, covered by plasma windows to maintain a sealed atmosphere. Designed to accommodate up to five million people, it currently houses over three million, primarily employees of the major technology companies that invested in its construction.

Compared to the relatively simple living environment on Earth, the space city can be described as a concentrated exhibition hall of human high technology and a testing ground for various new technologies. In particular, many of these technologies, such as electronic networks and artificial intelligence, are not yet widespread on Earth.

It's fair to say that any Earthling who has ever visited the space city has a futuristic, science-fiction-like feeling of traveling to the future.

Note: In ancient times, New Year's Day referred to the first day of the Lunar New Year, but in modern times it has been changed to January 1st of the Gregorian calendar. This can be understood as the name of the world remaining unchanged.
