Chapter 15 Guarding Civilization

"Restart what?" Li Xiang asked.

"World Heritage List." Lebo replied, fearing that there were other students like Li Xiang who didn't understand what he just said.

"If I remember correctly, this is a plan originating from the Earth Age." Li Xiang said tremblingly.

When he said this, the students who originally didn't dare to speak couldn't help but start discussing, and everyone looked unhappy.

Everyone knows very well that technology can be brought to the sky, human genes can be brought to spaceships, and long-distance spaceships can even be built to the size of a small city, but no one can move Lake Baikal to Mir.

Even if Dunhuang is transported to the next planet, no one can make a second Great Barrier Reef appear on the moon.

Of course, it is impossible to bring Summer Lake and Autumn Lake on the moon, as well as a huge ancient impact crater in the southern mountains of the moon, Clavius ​​Crater, to Mars.

It is also impossible to bring Mount Olympus and the Greek plains on Mars to a certain planet in the next solar system.

Three hundred years ago, an astronomer once said while staring at the deep night sky at night, "Human beings can fly into space, but human beings will be like the animals we are familiar with and can never take anything away."

The only difference is that we have science and technology, various storage and recovery technologies, and our human memories.

"It's been nearly two hundred years since the earth was destroyed." A fat man in the corner of the classroom said frankly. He had already chosen a peaceful citizen. The next exam had nothing to do with him anyway, so he didn't care much about other people's feelings when he spoke.

"That guy Ge Xiu is right. My grandfather's grandfather worked for UNESCO. My grandfather said that when they were studying, there were many contents on the World Heritage List in their textbooks, such as Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park.

Home to the largest number of bison in North America, and the Taj Mahal built by the Mughal emperor in the 1600s in memory of his beloved concubine, the stars bless you, that’s all my dad told me.”

"I know, I know, there is also the ancient city of Lijiang, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and Istanbul, which has had several names in history."

"Yes, it used to be Constantinople."

"I know what the resort of the gods at Olympia is called..."

"Altis." someone answered.

"Yes, yes, there is also Vatican City, I know that."

"Palace of Versailles."

"On the banks of the Seine."

"Burgundy—stars, wine!"

"Both my father and mother were born on the lunar base. The world heritage I am most familiar with is Clavius ​​Crater, which is the largest human base on the moon. My father said that it was also 2035, after the lunar human base was completed.

The first lunar attraction to be included in the World Heritage List."

"Wow!!!!!!"

Suddenly, there was sparse applause in the classroom, "This is the first time I know that classmate Li Xiang's family is the first generation of lunar residents."

Li Xiang's cheeks were slightly red, but he was a little proud in his heart. He continued: "My grandfather taught geology on the moon. He said that the inclusion of Clavius ​​Crater in the World Heritage List means that the footsteps of human civilization have begun to move forward throughout the entire world."

In the vast ocean of space.”

"Praise Li Xiang's grandfather!"

"Praise to the moon!"

"Don't forget to celebrate Mars, the Curiosity Mars Science Laboratory, the Sojourner Mars rover, and the Viking 1 landing site where we later built the first Mars launch center and the Mir spacecraft from Viking 1.

The Mars Launch Center successfully launched, and the launch center is also the only extraterrestrial launch center on the World Heritage List."

"Praise be to Mars!"

"Praise Suzaku-san!"

"Well, since you are all familiar with what the World Heritage List is, I don't need to introduce it more. I will ask you now if you are willing to take this exam. If you refuse to take the exam, I will

Discuss with the school committee.”

Lebo waited for the students' answers. Suzaku patted Arthur, who was sitting in the row in front of her, and said, "Monitor, what do you think?"

"Yes, Arthur is now the most popular student in our prep school. Monitor, tell me what you think."

"I want to know, what does this restart plan mean, what is its purpose? What are we facing, what is waiting for us?"

"As expected of the squad leader, you are so thoughtful."

After Suzaku finished speaking, before Lebo could speak, he raised his hand and said: "No matter what it is, as long as Arthur participates, I will participate."

As soon as these words came out, the classroom burst into boos, "This is - the power of love."

"Tradition - the light of human civilization shines on Suzaku."

"Shut up, it's not the power of love." After saying this, Suzaku stood up and walked to the podium.

Upon seeing this, Lebo took a few steps back to give Suzaku the best position.

Suzaku said confidently: "Originally, graduates of preparatory schools all went to ordinary lives. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, but no one has ever stipulated that the [Voyage Plan] is

A plan that only belongs to the new humanity. What is the new humanity? When Li Xiang’s ancestors settled on the moon, humans on the earth regarded the humans on the moon as the new humanity. When my great-grandfathers worked hard on Mars, people also said

We are the new human beings of the Mars era. Until now, everyone calls the people born in the incubator at the aerospace school the new human beings.

I think it is this kind of complacency that has led students in preparatory schools to voluntarily give up the [voyage plan]. Don’t you want to own a spaceship? Don’t you want to explore a new planet?”

After Suzaku's words, every student had a strange feeling in their heart. They asked themselves, who said that they were not as good as the new humans? And who said that as long as they live a stable life, United Airlines will

Protect their happiness throughout their lives.

Is this what they want?

Being cared for like animals on the verge of extinction, is this kind of life what they want?

"Suzaku, don't forget that even an outstanding person like Mr. Lebo failed to pass the aerospace school exam." Shen Lie muttered in a low voice.

He didn't dare to look into Suzaku's eyes, for fear that he would regret saying these words.

"It's because of these weird thoughts that no one chooses to take the aerospace school exam." Suzaku raised his voice with anger in his tone, and slowly clenched his hands into two fists and placed them on top of the podium.

"Mr. Lebo." Arthur suddenly raised his hand.

Lebo motioned for him to continue.

"Is it necessary to pass the aerospace school entrance test to participate in the World Heritage List restart plan?"

Lebo nodded, and there were several inaudible sighs in the classroom.

"Monitor!!!!" Suzaku looked at Arthur with pleading eyes, as if an astronaut lost in space was trying to find the only companion who could help her.

Looking at Suzaku's burning eyes, Arthur slowly and calmly walked to her side and looked at the more than 20 classmates in the classroom. They had spent 15 Earth years together, eating together, studying together, and flying on the starry sky cableway.

game.

Now they may make different choices, and no matter what they choose, they should be respected.

"Ban—" Suzaku turned to look at Arthur, but hesitated to speak.

"If United Airlines' UNESCO believes that restarting the World Heritage List plan requires the help of preparatory school students, I think no matter how difficult the exam is, we should not give up without trying. Suzaku is right, everyone

We are human beings. Why do the students in the aerospace school have to bear all the responsibility for the future of human civilization, while we sit back and enjoy the fruits of it? This is not in line with the spirit of mankind since ancient times.
