Chapter 7: The child next door

I walked out of the subway station and walked east for ten minutes, which was my aunt's house.
"... Do you really want to leave the earth? Your family has only you alone! If you are my son, I will definitely scold you!"
Unsurprisingly, my aunt was tearful and very reluctant to say a lot of words to keep.
In the face of these relatives who care about themselves, Zhang Yuan smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say. He looked away from the window.
Xiao Aunt's family lives on the 192nd floor, looking out, and can see the scenery far away.
Donghua City is well planned. The outermost area is the agricultural and industrial area, and the middle is the urban area. The building and the building are far apart to ensure that each household can get the sun.
"It's planned, repentance is desertion, and it will be punished very severely. This is also my dad's wish, if he is still alive, he can support me ..."
I think of countless days and nights of struggle, how can I give up now?
"Not coming back?"
"Well, not coming back ..."
Xiao Aunt's eyes were red, and she opened her mouth, speechless.
In order to hide this sadness, she rushed to the kitchen to cook, and her two sleeves wiped her eyes from time to time.
I was uncle, while holding the seeds, watching TV, sitting on the sofa with Erlang legs.
He said very openly: "Good boys are in the Quartet. It ’s a good thing to go to space, but not dead. Your aunt doesn't know what is sad!"
"If you look at this news, if you are not old enough and have insufficient knowledge, I would like to sign up!"
The sound of the television is very loud, and a documentary about the "Earth Age" spacecraft is playing on the screen. What kind of eloquence such as "witness history", "restart a new civilization", "human first" and so on made the little aunt unbelievable. Can't wait for the same starry sky.
"Oh, old age, if only you were as young as you."
After half an hour, the dishes were ready, and the atmosphere at the table was a bit silent. The aunt kept Zhang Yuan eating more, and said, "I ’m full if I'm on the road," "I ca n’t eat chicken in space." "Duck meat" and so on.
In order to reduce the concerns of relatives, Zhang Yuan took the initiative to talk about some future plans.
"... In addition to some daily maintenance work on the spacecraft, there is still a lot of personal time. Therefore, I plan to learn a little more before hibernation, and 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 inside! Most of them have a skill, higher than my education."
"And there are many cattle people, such as professors in universities, senior engineers in enterprises, etc. These experts are very powerful ... and even academicians!"
The little aunt nodded and sighed, "You have a good idea. People still have to live to learn to be old. Xiaoqing, have you heard that without studying, there is no way to establish a foothold in this society, whatever you do All need knowledge! It is no longer the old age ... "
The girl sitting next to Zhang Yuan, Ye Qingqing, the daughter of her aunt's family, was suddenly educated on her head, and she could not help but chuckle.
Although Zhang Yuan is not a top genius, he is also a model of hard work and a good student in the eyes of relatives. Ye Qingqing, of course, is unhappy that he always compares with "good boy".
She whispered, refuting with a voice that only she could hear: "I don't need trigonometric functions to sell a dish ..."
In fact, Ye Qingqing didn't dare to refute loudly, for fear of being heard by her father and then being reprimanded.
From the time of the puppet to the present, the anti-intellectual speech of "learning uselessness" has long been abandoned by the people.
Simply compare, the average income of the staff in the major space cities and the moon base is about 600,000.
The average income of Xia Kingdom is about 60,000.
平均 The average income between the two is ten times different!
Qixia Kingdom is already a very rich country on earth.
I do n’t study, I ’m sorry, I ca n’t go to space, and I have a
high probability
of being a low-income earner.
All in all, in the eyes of ordinary people, working in Space City or the Moon Base is a very decent thing.
对 "Yes, when will you go into hibernation? Isn't it said on TV that most of the voyage will be spent in hibernation, the average waking time of a person does not exceed ten years ..."
Zhang Yuan thought about it and said, "This ... depends on your personal ability. If you have outstanding ability, you can apply for hibernation later. Ordinary people will probably go into hibernation after Jupiter replenishment. After a few hundred years, you will wake up for several years. Then they went into hibernation again, and everyone took turns off work so that they could survive this difficult time. "
"It will take 3,000 years to reach the destination."
"Three thousand years."
Xiao Aunt's eyes became red again. By that time, they had already died, and their bones were gone.
Who knows what will happen in the future, and no one will think about things after three thousand years.
Uncle Xiao also sighed, "Hey, let's eat, let's eat first."
Zhang Zhang felt with emotion.
Every astronaut has to face such a choice, they need to abandon the parent star, all, 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 for the next three thousand years.
It sounds cool, but it's actually deep cruel.
They will be abandoned by the whole age.
Maybe some people question why there are such 500,000 people ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It sounds strange, really strange.
Because ... Chao Chao didn't know the shadow, I didn't know Spring and Autumn.
I don't know how big the starry sky is if I don't get out of the earth.
观 If you look at the earth from the cosmic scale, you will find that the home of human beings is too small and too small, and the small one feels heart-wrenching, as if it can be destroyed with a finger.
Just like a hundred years ago, Professor Qi Yuanshan, the founder of the Deep Space Foundation and the father of nuclear fusion, uttered a deafening cry: Aerospace, what is the benefit!
The atmosphere was getting more and more silent, leaving only the sound of a pinch of vegetables to eat. The uncle suddenly said, "Uh, Xiao Qing is going to have a college entrance examination next year. Is there any good specialty I can recommend? Species. "
远 Zhang Yuan was admitted to Z University, which is basically the best school that ordinary people can enter through hard work. Coupled with his internship in Space City, he knew the specific situation above.
Ye Yeqing Qing raised her head. She is already in her second year of high school, her character is more detached, and she does not like to learn much. I know that I am a few pounds and a few pounds from my usual grades, and I do not expect that I will be admitted to a particularly good university.
In her mind, not reading is great liberation, as long as not reading is a relaxed and happy life.
Even if you really go to the market to sell vegetables, it is better than reading.
Zhang Zhangyuan thought for a while: "It depends on her interest and chooses a major."
Xiao Auntie said a little embarrassedly: "She also has no special interests ..."
This kind of thing is very normal. Most of the people didn't know what they should do in the second year of high school, nor did they have a particularly complete life plan.
Anyway, the parents of the teacher let them learn, and they will study honestly. Only when they fill in their wishes, they hurriedly spend a few days to plan their lives.
