November 5, 2505 in Earth's calendar.
Three days after the defeat of the Bosa civilization.
During these three days, the Academy of Sciences and Parliament held extensive discussions in an attempt to find another way out for human civilization.
However, faced with the powerful Cleaner Civilization and the Pastoral Civilization, as well as countless Cleaner Subsidiary Civilizations, Lü Yongchang's proposed tail-cutting plan remains the best solution.
Ultimately, the Academy of Sciences and Parliament initiated a secret ballot.
The "Tail-Cutting Plan" became humanity's escape plan with a 71.3% approval rating.
The moment the plan was finalized, every dormant Homeship became "lively".
Under Zero's control, orange-yellow lights illuminated the hibernation pods that had been dormant for over a century.

The following content is excerpted from the memoirs of participants in the "Tail-Cutting Project".

"...Beep! Beep! Beep!"
At first, the buzzing sound seemed extremely distant, as if it were coming through a thick layer of frosted glass, and the sound was not clear.
who I am?
Perhaps because of the long period of hibernation, my mind was completely blank at that time.
Xia Mingda.
A few seconds later, a name slowly emerged in my mind.
Where am I? What happened?
Almost at the same time, countless questions arose in my mind.
The next second, fragments of memory flashed rapidly from the depths of my brain.
As a flood of memories surged forth, I felt an overwhelming sense of nausea rising from my abdomen.
At the same time, the previously faint buzzing sound quickly became clear!
"call!"
Almost instinctively, I took a deep breath.
Along with the nausea came an incredibly strong choking sensation.
These two intense feelings of discomfort directly disrupted the memory fragments that had just begun to surface in my mind.
With my mind blank, I chose to follow my body's instincts, curled up into a ball, and coughed violently!
"Cough! Cough cough!!"
A heavy echo followed.
I seem to be in a not-so-large space.
My body felt sticky, as if some liquid remained on it.
Looking back now, it must have been deep-sea liquid.
A chilling, bone-deep sensation spread from every corner of my body.
I shivered and glanced around at my surroundings.
A damp, cramped space.
It looks like a coffin.
A strange thought arose in my mind and lingered there.
Wow! The lid of this "coffin" is even transparent!
I thought to myself, trying to find a bit of humor in my misery.
An orange-yellow light from an unknown source illuminated the entire small space.
From this warm-toned light, I seemed to feel a kind of illusory warmth.
No, it's not an illusion!
I looked around at the area in surprise.
If my intuition is correct, this "coffin" is gradually heating up!
The heating process ended quickly.
Although I didn't know the exact temperature, the environment made me feel very comfortable, and my panic gradually dissipated.
Countless fragments of memory began to flash through my previously blank mind.
Proxima Centauri is about to die out, and human civilization is preparing to embark on its second interstellar journey.
A massive fleet hovered around Proxima Centauri b, blotting out the sun.
I followed the crowd and arrived at a spacious and bright room.
Then, I lay down in a completely silver-white hibernation pod.
With a slight stinging sensation, the scene in my memory was interrupted.
Now...
Did we successfully reach our destination?
The moment the thought crossed my mind, my heart started pounding!
A new star system! A new home!
Thinking about this, I couldn't contain my excitement!
I tilted my head back slightly, trying to observe the surrounding environment through the transparent cover of the hibernation pod.
Inside the high-tech hall, beams of light with unreadable meaning flickered.
"Whoa..."
I murmured, "This environment is so much more advanced than it was back then!"
I subconsciously raised my hand and gently tapped the transparent cover in front of me.
"Knock knock knock".
A dull sound rang out.
However, the cover of the hibernation pod was not opened.
"W-what happened?"
No one answered my question.
Is the hibernation pod malfunctioning?
The panic that had just subsided came back and filled my heart once again.
I struggled to raise my hand, preparing to tap the transparent cover in front of me again.
"drop!"
A soft buzzing sound rang out.
A clear light curtain appeared outside the transparent cover.
This is……
Holographic projection technology.
I subconsciously compared it with the holographic projection in my memory.
It was obvious that the holographic image before them was far more refined than the image in their memory.
[Name: Xia Mingda]
[Status: SUPP citizen.]
[Credit points:...]
[Contribution Value: ...]
[...]
I carefully watched the information that was constantly being presented in the holographic image.
What time is it now?
I murmured to myself.
"Hello Mr. Xia Mingda, it is now November 5th, Earth calendar 2505."
"We are located in the Gliese 555 star system, which is 17.55 light-years away from Proxima Centauri."
Accompanied by synthesized electronic sounds, a clear star map appeared within the holographic projection.
