Chapter 9.
Lilith's spaceship hovered in the Earth's shadow, its hull coating transformed into absolute darkness. A farewell, as if meticulously choreographed, unfolded on the azure planet below.
More than 10,000 Martian arks are arranged in equatorial orbit like silver scales;
The male team poured into the launch port like a stream of data, while female volunteers assisted with security checks with trembling fingertips;
Parts of the Dandelion Fleet are flowing through the underground logistics network to the secret dock in Antarctica;

Batch 07 launch live:
The Ark "Prometheus" carried 300,000 men into space;
Among the farewell crowd, a woman straightened her husband's collar.
"There's no alcohol on Mars, so remember to eat well."
Batch 33 launch live:
Ark "Apollo" delayed for 3 hours due to engine failure;
A team of female engineers on the ground repaired the problem in 30 minutes and was commended by Mars Command;
That night they encrypted the fault data and uploaded it to the Dandelion network: "Countermeasures have been generated."
Batch 89 launch live:
The young man broke away from the group and hugged his mother: "Dad and I are waiting for you on Mars!"
His mother smiled and nodded, then kissed his forehead: "I'll come find you as soon as I get to Mars."
On the Ark, the bioengineer then collected a genetic sample from the man's forehead (label: "Civilization Backup").
【Lilith's Nano-Touch】
When the last Ark "Terminator" is about to set sail:
She sprayed space-time marker particles onto the hull of the Ark to record the conditions after arriving on Mars;
An anti-reconnaissance biofilm covering the Antarctic dandelion dock with glutinous rice polysaccharide.

Final Scene: The Departure of the Last Ark
Star Calendar Year 5, Month 1:
The "Terminator" carried the last group of men into the air, and its engine spewed out blue flames.
The woman who came to see him off at the spaceport looked up at the sky with tears streaming down her face (the biometric sensor showed: 78% of pupils contracted – the subconscious no longer believed in promises);
The Dandelion leader typed the last code under the Antarctic ice: "The Ark to Mars is a lie, and Dandelion is the answer."
Star Calendar Year 5, Month 4:
The first ten arks that set sail arrived on Mars one after another: various factions divided up the new territory, triggering a struggle for power. As more arks arrived, the struggle for power became more intense.
Leaked recording of emergency parliament: "Resolve the civil war on Mars first, and discuss the return next year";
Engineer's request log: "200 tons of lithium ore are needed to repair the return engine...but the mining rights are in the hands of Warlord A";
Star Calendar Year 5, Month 5:
A certain Martian fleet commander secretly ordered: "Save energy for Martian city construction";
Parliament turned a blind eye to this.

The most ironic discovery
A video is constantly playing on the streets of Mars: "Mother Earth is sleeping. When we become an interstellar civilization, she will wake up with a smile";
In the Martian spaceport, more than 10,000 Martian arks were quietly waiting for "maintenance" and were arranged in orbit like silver scales. Scattered maintenance workers were waving their tools nonchalantly.
The last man to leave Earth is painting a distorted portrait of Earth on Mars.
He painted the blue planet in his memory into a gray cage.
Star Calendar Year 5, Month 6, Earth:
In the silent spaceport, all screens went out instantly, indicating that the energy from Mars had been cut off.
The women who were looking forward to reuniting with their loved ones burst into tears of disbelief;
In the absolute darkness, Lilith detected the first sigh of awakening—
A woman who had voted "men first" smashed the neural access device and whispered:
"Now, we have to survive first."
