Tianhe Sets Sail

In 2060, the earth's capacity has reached its limit, and human civilization has set its sights on the sea of ​​​​stars. China took the lead in launching the "Tianhe Project" - building a deep space ark "Tianhe Xuanwu" that can carry 3,200 people and has a voyage of 140 years, sailing to the Proxima Centauri star 4.24 Light-years away. Chief designer Lin Wentian leads a core team of six people, from detailed rules formulation, international cooperation to keel laying, engine testing, ecological closed loop, and personnel selection, advancing all the way to the limits of technology and global competition. Citigroup's multiple rounds of questioning, the fierce confrontation at the South China Sea Summit, the joint response of 47 countries - every game is the pain before mankind emerges from the cradle. Twelve Candle Dragon engines lit up the deep space, the Xuanwu shield covered the ship's hull, the Qinghengpu ecological cabin began to breathe, and one hundred and twenty Liuying unmanned aircraft formed a formation. With the countdown to one hundred days, three billion people around the world watched simultaneously as 3,200 crew members boarded the 2,800-meter steel planet. On the day of departure, Lin Wentian stood in the ground command center and watched Tianhe Xuanwu turn into a faint light and sink into the sea of ​​stars. "What we are sending away is not a ship, but the seed of civilization." A century-old voyage begins today. And some people on the ship may not be able to reach the destination throughout their lives - those who will actually reach Proxima Centauri will be their descendants. This is a deep space epic about departure, choice and inheritance.
