Time Flies
The emergence of the legend has an element of chance, but it is not entirely accidental, because humans did indeed leave nine transport ships at the distant base.
The nine transport ships are fully equipped with life support facilities and have ample fuel. The Hibernation Pod are densely packed, filling most of the interior space. Once the right to use them is obtained, flying out of this Orange Dwarf Star to a nearby Star System will be no problem at all.
It's worth mentioning that these transport ships have the same preset air environment and preset atmospheric pressure as the Dog-Headed People Planet, except for things like the gravity system that can't be solved.
The Hibernation Pod were also designed according to the physical conditions of the Dog-Headed People. Clearly, these nine transport ships were a backup plan specifically left for the Dog-Headed People, Noah's Ark left by humans for Dog-Headed People.
Because they were designed specifically for escaping, the transport ships have a large number of Hibernation Pod. If all nine transport ships are fully loaded, they can carry at least two million dogmen to the Starry Sky Road. If squeezed in, they could probably carry three or four million.
The triggering method of the base was not much different from what Yue Yuan had thought before; the Electromagnetic Wave were guided by the base's AI through sensing.
However, there is one difference: these transport ships do not use English, but Chinese. Although the humans initially taught the Dog-Headed People English, they would still need to learn Chinese before actually boarding the ships.
After all, the entire human system is now based on Chinese, so it's impossible to create a fleet that uses a different language system just for a bunch of idiots.
As for the transport ships left by humans at the base, once the Dog-Headed People can activate the preset program and summon the base's AI, and the AI confirms that the Dog-Headed People have truly entered the Information Age, the base will be officially opened to the Dog-Headed People.
Of course, although nine transport ships can only carry away a few million Dog-Headed People, if the Dog-Headed People homeworld does not suffer any major catastrophe or stellar disaster, they can send one or two ships out to establish outposts in nearby Star System.
As for how to use it, that depends on the Dog-Headed People's choices. Anyway, after staying here to search the transport ship, the humans left.
If that day ever comes, I wonder what the Dog-Headed People will think. After all, guided by their own mythology, what they discovered was neither a heavenly gate nor a method of divine cultivation, but a high-tech base and nine transport ships capable of traversing the stars.
However, if some human artifacts survive, some Dog-Headed People might discover some clues, since they traded a considerable amount of industrial products with humans back then.
Once the Dog-Headed People society sheds its ignorance and scientific thought arises, they will likely have their own guesses after seeing those ancient legendary components such as lighters, stainless steel, and pistols.
It's estimated that by then, there will be no shortage of news about the Dog-Headed People society, such as the top ten unsolved mysteries of humankind. Dog-Headed People with a bit of brains might even come up with things like ancient super civilizations or lost ancient civilizations.
Of course, alien legends are also indispensable.
The reason it is called ancient times is because dogs have very short lifespans. Thirty years old is considered a long life, and it is normal for them to die between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-four. In such a short lifespan, a thousand or two thousand years is the same concept that humans face as five or six thousand years.
Well, it's not just Dog-Headed People; a thousand or two thousand years is naturally a long time for humans as well. If they weren't in hibernation for most of their voyages, humans wouldn't be able to endure such a long period of time.
After all, once the Life Elixir No. 1, 2, and 3 are used up, humans can extend their lifespan by 1,400 years. Taking into account the natural aging process of the body's functions, the lifespan will be at most 1,500 years. Even Yue Yuan and Lu Xiaofen, who gained 500 years by inhaling the Red Gas, only lived for less than 2,000 years.
With current human technology, if we disregard fuel consumption and continue flying, we could only travel a maximum of 600 light-years in two thousand years. For the Milky Way, whose Milky Way Galaxy Galactic Disk spans 100,000 light-years, that distance is practically negligible.
Of course, humans wouldn't just wander around aimlessly for no reason. After all, the Awakeners had said that this place was far from the battlefield area known as the Dangerous Star Region.
Therefore, humanity doesn't plan to go too far, but it also won't stop too close to the Dog-Headed People Planet. After all, they've already left transport ships for the Dog-Headed People, and stopping to mine near their Star System might just waste their resources.
Since humanity had already completed the star map update when the Awakeners brought them to this star field, they no longer had to worry about getting lost when venturing into the stars.
However, this is the Arm Edge, where the distance between stars is much greater than that between our Solar System and the nearest star to the Orange Dwarf Star where the Dog-Headed People are located is 14.9 light-years away. Most stars are more than 20 light-years apart.
So after embarking on the journey to the stars again, humanity, as usual, continued the hibernation rotation system, planning to visit more Star System, find Star System rich in Rocky Planet and resources, and then stop to continue development, technology, and the construction of warships.
It is precisely because of the sparseness of stars that human travel cannot go any further outward, because if we continue to travel in the direction beyond the canyon, the distance between stars there can reach fifty, sixty, or even a hundred light-years, which is still a bit too much for human travel technology to handle.
As for venturing into star-dense regions, humanity dares not, because life is common in the universe, and the more stars a region has, the greater the resources and the greater the possibility of civilizations arising there. Since leaving the Solar System, humanity has encountered far too many civilizations, and is indeed afraid of encountering other civilizations again.
Therefore, as a precaution, the New Government decided to proceed along the edge of the cantilever towards its Arm End.
It took humanity fifty-six years to travel from the Dog-Headed People Planet to the first star station. After a brief resupply, the human fleet continued its journey into space.
It took humanity nearly seventy years to travel from the first star station to the second, and then, as usual, it relied on star resupply before continuing its journey a few years later.
Three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Time and again, humanity has ventured into deep space, heading towards the Other Side of the Starry Sky that was once only visible from afar. At the same time, time and again, it has turned the starry horizon into a starting point, advancing once more towards an even deeper horizon.
Since the catastrophe that struck the Solar System, humanity's journey has never ceased. Over the years, humanity has traversed the Void, visited places where ancient people observed celestial phenomena, trod upon stars, and arrived in unknown galaxies, witnessing wondrous worlds of life.
From the perspective of the ancients, modern humans are already capable of standing on the sun and moon and reaching for the stars.
