Luo Yuan got up and put on his clothes, glanced at Zhao Yali who was still sleeping on the bed, smiled, left the room, gently closed the bedroom door, and walked to the street.
The street lights had been dimmed to make it feel like night.
It's already June, and the flow of people on the streets has become increasingly sparse and deserted, with only the occasional pedestrian passing by in a hurry, adding to the loneliness.
Since May, the hibernation room has begun to be constructed, and batches of people have entered hibernation one after another.
As of now, almost all factories have been closed and production has stagnated. The entire spacecraft seems to have become deserted all of a sudden, and there is no longer the lively atmosphere as before.
The emergency spacecraft used to collect space monsters has returned, and asteroid mining to replenish resources has also been successfully completed.
The spaceship has made all preparations for the long voyage. The reason why it has not left is simply because there are still six days until the nearest "good and auspicious day".
Neither Luo Yuan nor the think tank staff who formulated this plan should be superstitious, but under tremendous pressure, this kind of illusory psychological comfort sometimes plays a role in enhancing confidence.
Of course, not everyone goes into hibernation.
In addition to the essential spacecraft-related operations and maintenance personnel and a considerable number of government personnel, all scientists, engineers and some technical workers will spend the long voyage awake. They will enter the virtual world and continue to carry out scientific research, development and manufacturing work. .
Now that the virtual world has been fully constructed and debugged, a beautiful and sci-fi city has been erected on the original desert island. Most of the laboratories have settled in in the past few days and started adaptability work.
The busiest period was over. In the days leading up to the ship's voyage, Luo Yuan suddenly felt empty.
Ever since he was a child, even in his wildest dreams, Luo Yuan could not have imagined that in his lifetime, he and all the humans on earth would leave the earth and the solar system. This feeling was like the first time he left his familiar hometown and went alone. unfamiliar city.
This is a feeling of hesitation and lack of stability.
Luo Yuan sighed and shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to expel this inexplicable emotion from his mind.
In the past two months, he has made a special trip to Venus every other day.
His physical strength has begun to grow again, but not much. From the original five hundred tons to the current five hundred and fifty tons, it has only increased by about one-tenth. In comparison, perhaps it is because of his exercise The focus is more on the tempering of the field, but the perception has improved even more, and the diameter has reached 800 meters.
The value of perception on the attribute panel has also increased from seventeen to eighteen points, which can be described as rapid progress.
If he stood in the center of the spacecraft, his perception could already cover the entire spacecraft, and everyone's every move would not be hidden from his eyes. However, he was not a voyeur. Under normal circumstances, he would not pay special attention to those small things.
As for the all-out attack in the field, it is even more powerful and terrifying. It has increased several times compared to the first attempt, and it already has the style of a humanoid nuclear bomb.
…
The streets in the spaceship residential area were not long. After walking for a few minutes, they had reached the end. Luo Yuan did not intend to continue walking and turned around and walked towards the city hall.
"You have become more and more lazy recently. You arrive late and leave early every day, and you are often away." After seeing Luo Yuan, Chen Xinjie complained a little.
"Your tea-making skills are getting better and better." Luo Yuan took a sip of tea and continued: "The current administrative system was inherited from the past. Originally, everyone was in charge of one thing. I think they are too lazy. What? I have to make all the decisions, and I don’t want to take any responsibility, so what else do I need from them?”
Luo Yuan laughed and cursed, what he said was really shameful. Since he took this position, no one can check and balance him, and he has completely monopolized the power.
Under this situation, everyone is trembling with fear, especially after the successive clean-ups in the past few years, those thorns who dared to show up have been mercilessly eliminated due to various problems. What is left now is Shen Xiao Be cautious.
Chen Xinjie didn't comment on this. No matter how close she was, she didn't dare to say much about this kind of thing.
"By the way, have you thought about whether you want to sleep or stay awake?" Luo Yuan didn't talk much about this topic, and immediately changed the subject and asked
After the spaceship sails, most activities will stop, so a considerable number of civil servants will go into hibernation. Of course, as Luo Yuan's service secretary, Chen Xinjie is not on this list, but as long as he is willing, it is only a matter of words. .
"I've thought about it, I'd better stay awake. What's the point of living for a few more years through hibernation? I don't want to sleep for twenty years. Thinking about it makes me feel scared, as if I'm dead." Chen Xinjie shook her head and said.
Many people have hibernation phobia. After all, few people can accept sleeping for up to twenty years. If it were not compulsory, I am afraid that very few people would choose to hibernate.
"That's up to you, but when you wake up, you will still look younger than others. Don't regret it." Luo Yuan said with a smile.
"You can also find another secretary then!"
Luo Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then asked in confusion: "What's wrong these days? I always feel like you're a little abnormal!"
Chen Xinjie didn't speak. She was silent for a while, and then she broke out the shocking news: "I'm pregnant!"
"What!" Luo Yuan was stunned, then he was surprised and happy: "Really? When did it happen!"
Chen Xinjie looked at the joy on Luo Yuan's face and snorted coldly: "It's not yours, why are you happy? What's in your belly is a clone. I went to the hospital last week to have it done!"
Luo Yuan suddenly looked stunned. He really shouldn't have hoped for this. His genes had broken away from the definition of human and had long lost the possibility of natural reproduction. If he was still wearing human skin, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he was another species. Yes, but even so, he was still slightly disappointed.
He was stunned for less than half a second, then quickly adjusted his emotions and said softly: "What is not mine, this child belongs to both of us. The clone is a genius when he is born. If we educate him well, maybe he will become a genius in the future. Great scientist."
"I don't want him to be a scientist. It's too tiring. As long as he likes it, no matter what he does, I will support it." Seeing that Luo Yuan's statement did not seem to be fake, Chen Xinjie felt relieved, and her cold face quickly melted away. , she gently touched her belly and said softly.
She knew why she attracted Luo Yuan. It was definitely not love, but her appearance. However, the beautiful face would fade over time. When the color is gone, she may not be abandoned, but she can no longer let her go. He stayed for a long time.
Because she has always wanted a child to bond the two of them, but has never succeeded. It is difficult for two ordinary people to have a child naturally, not to mention that the other person is the most powerful evolver. After several years of no results, the clone also It became her only choice.
She originally thought that Luo Yuan would not be able to accept it, so she never said anything. Now it seems that the result is better than expected.
