Bedtime Story Comes True After 124 Years

The bedtime story I told my son came true 124 years later. In 2026, late at night when operation and maintenance engineer Wang Zheng was working the night shift, a message popped up on the computer screen. The sender calls himself the dispatcher of the Earth Headquarters of the "Earth-Ringing Interstellar Rescue Alliance" - the four rescue teams of the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, guarding every human outpost in the solar system. Wang Zheng thought it was a virus. Until the other party read out the bedtime story he told his four-year-old son every night and never told anyone else - Captain Yuexiao, Silver Moon Shuttle Boat, Blazing Chariot, Giant Shield Mothership... "You call it a bedtime story, we call it a starting point." The channel only transmits text. He could not pass back the technology or change the drawings. There was only one thing he could do: write down every danger, every rescue, and every person who could not be rescued in the next 124 years, word by word, and tell them about it. Only later did he learn that every word he wrote was numbered and archived in the Alliance Archives 124 years later. There will be cities on the moon and lights on Mars. And at the cold edge of the Oort cloud, a fleet that has been wandering for three hundred years is approaching; deep in the ocean of dark matter, something has been waiting for billions of years, and the first human language it learned is - "Hello, rescue."
