In 59336 AD, the Aquila Fleet found Neptune's largest moon, Triton. When Triton was discovered, it was flying alone in interstellar space. If it hadn't been for compositional analysis, no one would have believed that this broken asteroid was Triton.
Having survived the Sun catastrophic event, Neptune has become even more promising. Furthermore, Pluto, Sedna, and Eris are all potential candidates, provided they don't collide with other stars.
Sure enough, ten years later, another rogue planet was discovered. By this time, it had completely lost its planetary appearance, with more than half of its material stripped away. It was Neptune, which had been wandering alone in the starry sky for more than 50,000 years.
Upon seeing Neptune, many in the fleet couldn't help but shed tears. These were people from the Earth era who had witnessed the fall of the Solar System, the destruction of their once beautiful home, the devouring of countless people by the insect swarm, and the fleet's forced journey into space.
Earth is gone, and now, seeing the once beautiful Neptune ravaged and scarred, these people from Earth's era have all set foot on Neptune, kneeling on Neptune icy surface, weeping uncontrollably, feeling the pain of Neptune. Although the fleet has developed to the point of almost entering the stage of Great Star Region Civilization, these people have not forgotten the Solar System, nor have they forgotten every planet in the Solar System; these are the deepest longings in their hearts.
Standing atop the massive Neptune, Hu Yu's resolve to develop a large and advanced fleet only strengthened. Humanity had come a long way, waiting over 50,000 years for the opportunity to rebuild the Solar System. After this reconstruction, it was absolutely imperative to prevent it from falling into disaster again, and these surviving celestial bodies would never be allowed to leave their home and wander alone once more.
Over the next hundred years, the Aquila Fleet found several of Pluto's moons, Sedna, Eris, and even many comets belonging to the Solar System and a number of Kuiper Belt asteroids.
Academician Zeng, together with a group of scientists, began the work of restoring the Solar System. Although the technology was sufficient to travel in the Solar System Solar System they left, their understanding of each celestial body in the Solar System was still incomplete, and there were still many parts of Earth that they did not understand.
To recreate an identical Solar System and achieve the same effect, many aspects need to be remodeled and re-analyzed. For example, Venus has constant volcanoes and sulfuric acid rain that falls year after year. Creating such a complex environment, and more importantly, making it exactly the same as the original, is very difficult.
There are also Jupiter and Saturn, two behemoths, which cannot be created overnight. They are enormous and have complex structures. Humans have only ever studied the internal structure of these two gas giants in theory and conjecture. Academician Zeng had to personally travel to the vicinity to search for gas giants and conduct analysis and research.
In recent years, the fleet has focused on developing advanced technologies. Now, technologies that are not related to the fleet's survival are relatively backward because there is no need to develop them. When other civilizations in the alliance learned that humanity's project to rebuild its home was hindered, they all contributed their relevant technologies. In their words, even though their own home was gone, seeing humanity in this situation could bring them some comfort. In particular, the six civilizations from the Insect Zone showed no less attachment to their home than humanity.
Hu Yu led the fleet to the original coordinates of the Solar System. This time, all of humanity came. Although people in the fleet era had never experienced the Solar System, Solar System importance was no less than that of the history of the Chinese Nation, so everyone longed for Solar System.
The Solar System no longer exists. The entire space is filled with the remnants of the Sun's explosion. After tens of thousands of years of sedimentation, these materials have lost their kinetic energy and are quietly suspended in the vast space of thousands or even tens of thousands of astronomical units.
The Oort Cloud has become even denser. This nebula is the cradle of the Solar System. Given enough time, a new Sun might be reborn. However, Hu Yu cannot wait that long. Academician Zeng has already drafted a plan to reconstruct the Sun, and the new Sun will still use a large amount of the original Sun's material.
After searching the entire Oort Cloud, Hu Yu finally found a small spaceship that had lost power and was beginning to decay. This spaceship was the Immortal. Everyone silently watched the spaceship, bowed, and recalled the battle with the Sand Python Civilization, when the soldiers piloted their spaceships and charged towards the Sand Python warships without fear of death.
In that battle, more than 1.5 million soldiers sacrificed their lives, leaving no remains behind. The Immortal only carried the few belongings of these martyrs back to the Solar System. For the fleet and for the people, these young warriors gave their lives in space. If these warriors could see the fleet now, perhaps they could rest in peace.
Hu Yu instructed the fleet to use the Fifth Reversed State to create a colossal monument stretching 20,000 kilometers. On the monument, the name of each soldier was clearly displayed, along with the words "Eternal Glory to the People's Heroes" in large, gleaming gold characters. This monument would be placed in orbit between Earth and Venus, running synchronously with Earth, so that these heroic spirits would always feel that they had returned home.
Other civilizations in the alliance also arrived in the airspace near the original site of the Solar System. Everyone wanted to witness the process of humanity rebuilding its home. Hu Yu borrowed all the spaceships of these civilizations and activated the warp drive to travel at low speed in the Solar System. Trillions of warships shuttled back and forth in the Solar System. The powerful gravity brought by the warp drive would directly attract all the matter in the Solar System.
After several months of effort, the airspace containing the Solar System has finally been cleared again, and most of the matter has been absorbed onto the Alliance's warships.
The robots began to remove the substances from the warship, a rather time-consuming process. Without specialized cleaning robots, warships typically don't accumulate much substance during interstellar combat or navigation; even if some does, it's negligible for a massive warship.
Now, to remove every single speck of dust from the warship, the number of robots available to assist in the cleanup is simply insufficient. Furthermore, since over 90% of these substances are gaseous, the warship will escape if its warp drives are shut down, making the collection work even more difficult.
Hu Yu had no choice but to borrow robots from other civilizations in the alliance to participate in the work. Trillions of robots worked simultaneously to encapsulate the collected hydrogen and helium elements in huge thin films. It took more than a decade to complete the stripping of these substances.
