Three years later.

Xiao Zhou, the editor in charge, walked into the director's room with a stack of folders in his hand. "Director Ai, this is the information you want about the software copyright intellectual property dispute in the past three years. ”

"Let it go. Ivy stared at the computer screen and was reviewing the midday press release, "By the way," she looked away from the computer and explained to Xiao Zhou, "Organize the works of the department participating in the journalism awards, and report them to me tomorrow morning, I will go through them first." ”

Xiao Zhou nodded in agreement, but he complained bitterly in his heart. As soon as he returned to the office, he complained to Fan Jingjing: "Sister Jingjing, I'm going to die, and I'm going to work overtime again tonight." ”

"Isn't the information on the software copyright dispute finished?" Fan Jingjing was not idle, and was watering her flesh.

Xiao Zhou said with a sad face: "Just now Ai Huang sent me another big job, more than 20 award-winning works, and I have to sort out the manuscript again, and I have to move the video back from the media library, what time do I have to do it tonight!"

Ai Huang is a nickname given to Ivy by colleagues in the department. Bai Bing has been promoted to director of the news department, and Ai Wei succeeded Bai Bing as the director of the social news department.

She works harder than Bai Bing, in addition to daily news planning, review and other work, but also insists on interviewing on the front line, and the social news team under her leadership has been the ratings champion of news programs since last year.

Listening to Xiao Zhou's words, Fan Jingjing couldn't help but gasp, and held her waist with one hand, "My God, this workload, I feel a pain in my back when I think about it." ”

"Who can show mercy to find her a boyfriend, if this continues, my girlfriend is going to break up with me. Xiao Zhou Yangtian shouted.

Fan Jingjing said to him with a serious face: "It's okay, you two can just make a pair then." ”

Xiao Zhou was so shocked that he hugged his arms, "Sister Jingjing, you can't make jokes, if I want to look at her with a straight face every day, I'm afraid I'll be depressed." ”

Fan Jing lowered her eyelids and thought for a moment, a faint sadness appeared in her eyes, "In the past, she was not like this. ”

Xiao Zhou pouted suspiciously, "Anyway, I've been in the department for almost two years, and I haven't seen her smile." ”

Fan Jingjing sighed softly, looked out the window, and the phoenix tree in the yard bloomed again, like a fiery red cloud.

"Hello, is Ivy there?" a tall figure appeared at the door of the office.

The two turned around in unison, Fan Jingjing recognized the person at a glance, and a smile of surprise appeared on his face, "Chi Ming, long time no see." ”

Ivy and Chi Ming stood under the phoenix tree, the sun shining through the flowers and leaves, and the stars sprinkled on the two of them.

"How have you been doing in the past few years?" Chi Ming asked.

Ivy said with a faint expression: "I've been trying to live." ”

Chi Ming sighed lightly and said solemnly: "I came this time to tell you something. ”

Eight years ago, NASA discovered a planet similar in size to Earth in the constellation Cygnus, 1,400 light-years from Earth, orbiting a star very similar to the Sun. This planet is the only planet similar to Earth discovered so far and has been named Kepler.

After eight years of exploration, scientists have discovered that Kepler has an atmosphere and liquid water on its surface, and it has a good chance of becoming a second planet suitable for human life.

NASA decided to establish a human gene bank on Kepler Star, sending 10,000 human genetic samples to it, and planned to clone the first humans within a hundred years, taking the first step towards a "second home".

Chi Ming is involved in NASA's gene bank program. He made an important decision to include Owen's genes in the sample and send it to Kepler.

After Owen's death, Chi Ming kept his cornea. Owen's genes have been specially modified to fit well into the living environment of another planet. He also has an implanted chip in his cornea, which can even revive his memories when conditions are ripe.

Ivy was stunned, feeling the blood rushing to her head. She took a few deep breaths, restrained her excitement and asked, "You mean, Owen has the possibility of resurrection on another planet?"

"Theoretically, it's possible. Chi Ming nodded.

A breeze blows in my ears, and fiery red petals flutter down with the wind.

Ivy reached out to catch a petal, raised her eyes to look at the fiery red of a tree, a reassuring smile bloomed on the corner of her mouth, and muttered, "In my lifetime, I will wait for you." ”
