Deep Space Fleet

Walk out of the subway station and walk east for ten minutes, you will find my sister-in-law's house.

"...Do you really want to leave the earth? You are the only seedling in your family! If you are my son, I will scold you to death!"

Not surprisingly, my sister-in-law was tearful, very reluctant, and said a lot of words to persuade her to stay.

Facing these relatives who cared about him, Zhang Yuan smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say. He moved his gaze out of the window.

My sister-in-law's house lives on the 192nd floor. Looking outside, you can see the scenery far and far away.

Donghua City is well-planned. The outermost ring is the agricultural and industrial zone, and the middle is the urban area. The buildings are far apart, ensuring that every household can enjoy the sun.

"It's already planned. If you repent, you will be a deserter, and you will be punished very severely. This is also my father's wish. If he is still alive, he will definitely support me..."

Recalling the countless days and nights of struggle, how can it be possible to give up now?

"Not coming back?"

"Well, I'm not coming back..."

The sister-in-law's eyes were red, she opened her mouth, unable to speak.

In order to hide this sadness, she hurried to the kitchen to cook, wiping her eyes with her sleeves from time to time.

On the contrary, the little uncle was eating melon seeds while watching TV, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

He said very openly: "A good man has ambitions everywhere. Going to space is a good thing. He is not dead. I don't know what your sister-in-law is sad about!"

"Look at the news, if it wasn't for my age and lack of knowledge, I would have signed up!"

The sound of the TV was very loud, and a documentary about the "Earth Age" spacecraft was playing on the screen. All kinds of rhetoric such as "witnessing history", "restarting a new civilization", "human beings first" and other rhetoric made my uncle's heart agitated. I can't wait to go to the starry sky for a while.

"Oh, I'm getting old, if only I was as young as you."

Half an hour later, the dishes were ready, and the atmosphere at the table was a little silent. The sister-in-law kept asking Zhang Yuan to eat more, saying things like "you can go on the road when you are full", "you can't eat chicken when you go to space." Duck and fish meat" and other strange words.

In order to reduce the worries of relatives, Zhang Yuan took the initiative to talk about his future plans.

"...In addition to some daily maintenance work on the spaceship, I still have a lot of personal time. Therefore, I plan to learn a little more knowledge before hibernation. It is best to complete the master's and doctoral courses before arriving at the destination..."

"Is there a teacher in the spaceship?"

"Of course, there are 500,000 people in it! Most of them have special skills and have higher education than me."

"And there are many great people, such as professors in universities, senior engineers in enterprises, etc. These experts are very powerful... There are even people at the academician level!"

The little uncle nodded, and sighed: "Your idea is very good. People still have to live and learn. Xiaoqing, did you hear that, if you don't study, there is no way to gain a foothold in this society, no matter what you do. Knowledge is required! This is not the old days..."

The girl sitting next to Zhang Yuan is Ye Qingqing, the daughter of my sister-in-law's family. She was suddenly educated, and she couldn't help curling her lips.

Although Zhang Yuan is not a top genius, he is also a model of hard work and a good student in the eyes of his relatives. Of course Ye Qingqing is upset that she is always being compared with "good boys".

She retorted softly, with a voice that only she could hear: "I can't even use trigonometric functions to sell vegetables..."

Ye Qingqing actually didn't dare to refute loudly, for fear of being heard by her father and then reprimanded.

The era has evolved to the present, and the anti-intellectual remarks that "study is useless" have long been abandoned by the people.

For a simple comparison, the per capita income of the staff in the major space cities and moon bases is about 600,000.

And Xia Guo's average income is about 60,000.

The difference in average income between the two is ten times!

Xia Kingdom is already a very wealthy country on earth.

If you don’t study, sorry, you won’t be able to go to space, and you will have a “high probability” of being a low-income earner.

All in all, in the eyes of ordinary people, working in a space city or a moon base is a very decent thing.

"By the way, when will you enter hibernation? Didn't the TV say that most of the time during the voyage will be spent in hibernation, and the average time a person is awake is no more than ten years..."

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and said: "This... depends on personal ability. If you have outstanding ability, you can apply to enter the hibernation state later. Ordinary people will probably enter hibernation after Jupiter is replenished. They sleep for hundreds of years and wake up for several years. Then go into hibernation again, and everyone takes turns off work, so that we can get through this difficult time."

"In the end, it will take three thousand years to reach the destination."

"Three thousand years."

The sister-in-law's eyes turned red again. By that time, they would have died long ago, and there were no bones left.

Who knows what will happen in the future, and no one will think about things three thousand years later.

The little uncle also sighed: "Hey, let's eat, let's eat first."

Zhang Yuan felt emotional in his heart.

Every astronaut has to face such a choice. They need to abandon their home planet, everything, and everything here...

Time is easy to get old, and the past is hard to find. These 500,000 people will become witnesses to the history of the earth and witness the course of the earth in the next three thousand years.

It sounds cool, but it is actually a kind of deep cruelty.

They will be abandoned by the entire era.

Some people may question why there are such half a million people.

As weird as it sounds, it's really weird.

Because... Chao bacteria don't know the dark days, and crickets don't know the spring and autumn.

If you don't go out of the earth, you will never know how big the starry sky is.

Observe the earth from the scale of the universe, and you will find that the home of mankind is too small, so small that it makes people feel palpitating, as if it can be shattered with a snap of the fingers.

Just like a hundred years ago, Professor Qi Yuanshan, the founder of the Deep Space Foundation and the father of nuclear fusion, made a deafening cry: Aerospace has nothing to do with interests!

The atmosphere became more and more silent, and there was only the sound of picking up vegetables and eating. The little uncle suddenly said: "Uh, Xiaoqing will take the college entrance examination next year. Is there any good major you can recommend? The one with good employment situation kind."

The university that Zhang Yuan was admitted to was Z University, which is basically the best school that ordinary people can get into through hard work. In addition, he has practiced in the space city and knows the specific situation above.

Ye Qingqing raised her head, she is already a sophomore in high school, she has a rather detached personality, and doesn't like studying very much. I know how much I weigh from my usual grades, and I don't expect to be admitted to a particularly good university.

In her mind, not reading is the great liberation, as long as you don't read, you can live a relaxed and happy life.

Even if you really go to the vegetable market to sell vegetables, it is better than reading.

Zhang Yuan thought for a while: "It depends on her interests to choose a major."

The aunt said a little embarrassedly: "She doesn't have any special hobbies either..."

This kind of thing is normal. Most people don't know what they should do in the future when they are in the second year of high school, and they don't have a particularly complete life plan.

Anyway, when teachers and parents let them study, they will study honestly, and only spend a few days in a hurry to plan their lives when filling out their volunteers.
