Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Shanghai.

IMCRC headquarters.

Sitting at a roadside stall eating a barbecue, Rowenxuan bored a beer and suddenly said with emotion.

“I fucking believe in love again. ”

I sat across from the table, changing shifts from the moon, and I blinked.

“… did you take the wrong medicine again today? ”

“No, I'm serious this time. ”

Looking at Luo Wenxuan did not seem to be a joke, Yan Xin realized that he had set his mind, frowned and stared at him.

“What's wrong with you? ”

Slightly sighed, bought a beer again from his cup, and a hint of memory appeared in his eyes.

“… I attended the unveiling ceremony for the Ark Science Awards some time ago. ”

As soon as he heard the sentence, Yan Xinxue immediately reacted. What exactly was he trying to say?

“... the hologram? ”

Nodded, Rowenxuan answered.

In fact, it wasn't just him, it touched a lot of people. At the time he was there, he saw a number of female guests hanging tear marks on their faces and tears in their orbits.

Later, that image was recorded and sent to the Internet, causing a lot of shock.

But these are the last words.

“… I'll be relieved to drink this wine from tomorrow. ”

Yan Xincheng looked at him without saying a word and appended a sentence.

“Is there a target? ”

“Kind of. ”

“The Kong assistant? ”

“Not that... she's in Jinling, a little far away, and seems to have had a job transfer going to Beijing recently. I wondered if I had delayed my relationship and gave up..."

He also seemed to realize that his statement was a bit of an asshole, and Rowenxuan laughed embarrassingly and touched the back of his head.

Even though it's no surprise to see him like this, Dr. Yan couldn't help but turn his eyes in his heart.

“… who the hell is that? It's not easy to tell. ”

“In fact, there is nothing inconvenient to reveal, the clerk who had just been transferred to the Administration Section a while ago...” He coughed lightly and Rowenxuan continued, “is the one with the last name Lin. ”

……

2024 is an absolutely extraordinary year for human civilization.

It has only been a year since the resumption of the Manned Fire Program, until mankind first discovered that they were not alone in the universe, until the collapse of the gates of Hell and the establishment of the Human Alliance and the Earth Defense Forces.

In the face of potential threats from outer space, the establishment of a rapid reaction force to respond in high orbit has become a consensus among States.

The Koiber belt is the ideal boundary, yet it is clear that the nations of the planet do not have the capacity to reach that long. In the event of a conflict, it is most likely that the battlefield will be pulled to the ground.

The current response of the Human Alliance is for the Chinese State to launch an observation satellite to Pluto to observe a range of physical parameters such as electromagnetic wave signals, mass, possible heat sources, etc. in the Koiper belt to ensure early warning of potential invasions.

On the other hand, the five major nations of the planet have carried out joint military exercises that envisage a “never retreat” and resolute resistance to hostile forces invading the planet in the face of a series of strategic strikes that are not limited to nuclear strikes, genetic weapons attacks, chemical weapons attacks, etc.

More interestingly, although the vast majority of soldiers participating in the military show felt a fog in this scenario, both imaginary enemies and scenarios, the military show accidentally built bridges of friendship among the UPC member States.

At all times, the common enemy is the best alliance catalyst, especially if this hypothetical enemy is strong enough and mysterious enough.

Just two years ago, China and the United States fought over trade issues, and now it's hard to see hostile voices on the Internet without shaking hands, as if they'd forgotten about it.

As for Master Lu...

A year later, even though people would still miss it, they would still feel sad, but if it weren't for his birthday, no one would have taken the initiative to mention his name.

Time will heal all the pain.

History's wheels always relentlessly abandon everything and move on with inertia...

……

Fall 2025.

Great Northwest.

On this frontier away from the bustle and bustle, the desert and Gobi beach have been transformed into an endless forest and a wilderness of green oil covered with vegetation such as bushes.

Artificially drilled rivers flow slowly, nourishing the soil and water of one side.

When the wind blows past it, the layered waves of leaves fall and fall, like waves of ocean.

Looking at Chen Yushan in the forest sea, he gently touched the ring on his hands, revealing a touch of comfort and divinity in his eyes.

Almost a year has passed since that day.

Today, the Oasis initiative has seen some initial results.

It has been shown that when energy is completely liberated, however harsh the natural conditions may be, it also crawls under the feet of humankind.

The two river basins are evolving towards the three river basins, and that third river, that artificial wonder.

In the planned blueprint, it will follow the Silk Road all the way west, penetrate the Great Northwest, traverse the dead restricted area, fill the seawater into the artificially excavated salt lake, and evaporate from the sunlight there to form an artificial rain cloud, pouring water and soil from this side...

At this time, a woman dressed in a black suit, shaving her short hair, walked behind Chen Yushan and said with skill.

“The Star Sky Cancer Research Foundation has been completed, with a registered fund of 5 billion, to fund suitably qualified scientific research projects in more than 20 research institutions, including the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies and the Institute of Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. ”

“Until the cancer problem is basically solved, the money will automatically be transferred to the Cryodormant Interests Protection Fund, which will be used for specific expenses for some of the treatment of the illnesses. ”

This person, named Cai Yunxia, was Chen Yushan's assistant a long time ago.

There have been rumours that Chen Yushan intends to train her as a successor to the General Manager of Star Sky Technology, and rumours that the relationship between the two is somewhat unusual.

After all, people are such a boring and gossiping creature that they like to add their brains to everything.

Fortunately, she is a woman, otherwise if she is a man, she may have to send out some terrible rumors.

“Okay, I get it," Chen Yushan nodded in praise of the location and said softly, “You did a good job with this, it seems you have succeeded in becoming a manager who can stand in the way of one side. ”

Cai Yunxia's face showed an embarrassing smile.

Though most of the time she looked serious and capable, she still couldn't bear to show a slight smug look on her face when she received President Chen's praise.

In her mind, Chen Yushan is like her master. Teaching the apprentice to starve to death master has always been popular in the workplace, few will teach their subordinates, and Chen Yushan is no doubt an exception.

Not only did she take care of herself at work, but Cai Yunxia could even clearly feel that she was nurturing herself as her successor.

In fact, she is not the only person, every employee of Startech, to pay tribute to the president, after Master Lu himself.

“Expo begins today. Our star technology is the main force of Jinling High-tech Park. Aren't you going to check it out? ”

“No, I prefer it here.” Looking out at the shaky forest sea, Chen Yushan bent over the corner of his mouth and gently squeezed his eyes up against the breeze. “The scenery here is unbearable. ”

Cai Yunxia: “In fact, from an economic point of view, I think it would be better to put some agricultural land between the forests. Seawater desalination units and plasma transmembranes can easily extract fresh water from them for irrigation. ”

“It's not necessary. ”

“Oh?”

“He said that the food of the future was not grown from the fields, but was produced from a vertically distributed workshop in a building as tall as Oriental Pearl, like a factory product. ”

Again...

Hearing this familiar sentence, Cai Yunxia sighed again, and a helpless expression appeared on her face.

“Everything he said… is about to become your Bible. ”

I didn't deny it, Chen Yushan just smiled slightly.

“I want to ask you one thing. ”

Hearing this, Cai Yunxia's divine colour suddenly took seriously, putting away the joking expression on his face.

“Go ahead. ”

Without turning back, he turned his back on her Chen Yushan and continued with a relaxed tone.

“Starry Sky Technologies, please. ”

Cai Yunxia stunned.

For a while, she even thought she heard it wrong.

“Please means…”

“Just literally,” turned to his assistant, Chen Yushanguan smiled, "If it wasn't surprising, the board should have passed my resignation. ”

Though there had been a little insertion before, Xiaotong almost didn't blow up her phone, but eventually she persuaded Xiaotong.

Looking at President Chen in amazement, Cai Yunxia's lips trembled slightly. After a while, she threw up a sentence.

“Where are you… going? ”

“Go to visit a late man in Beijing. ”

“And then...”

Looking at the forest sea in the distance, Chen Yushan's face pulled a smile and left a deep message.

“Probably going somewhere far away. ”

Don't know what the view will be there.

It's rare to think of yourself as lethargic...

Chen Yushan can't help but look forward to this journey of walking away.

At the same time, Chen Yushan was far from a sanatorium in Jinling when he had decided where to go.

Looking out the window through the sun through the leaf crevice, biting the pen for a long time, finally wrote the last sentence on the book page.

[… it is a beautiful planet whose prosperity is difficult to find another treasure comparable to that of the entire universe, even if it is searched for.

[Like the world described in the Gaia hypothesis put forward by British scientist James Lovelock, life and non-life form an interoperable and complex system, all of which achieve perfect common prosperity on a harmonious track.

[… in saying those words, the tone of "it" is a little lonely, and having seen the world flourish and silence, it is like an old man, facing that desert of desert of desert smokeless people, who have been looking at billions of years. Perhaps, as with all beautiful things, the final end will come to ruin, and the inevitable silence is the eternal end of everything in the universe.

[But I'm still willing to believe that somewhere in this universe, there must be a treasure similar to it.

[And the distance between us and it is only a short distance from a man with dreams and curiosities and who is desperate for ideals to discover.

“That's it. ”

Close the book, and he leaves his long-established title in the footer.

"Things On Mars."

The paradigm of this moment is unclear how the awkwardness that this book itself wrote about boredom at the time of rest and recuperation affected future generations.

Sitting in the ward, he would hardly have thought that in the not-too-distant future, a series of questions about whether the “relic" really existed, whether his identity was supposed to be a geologist or a science fiction writer, or even whether the voices he claimed to hear in the relics were just illusions of his own… were among the most controversial topics in academia.

But even so.

The world he describes in writing still inspires countless captains with dreams about the universe to embark on a journey and sail against a world outside the Koiber belt...
