"If I was young and had no inferiority, I knew what was precious, and those beautiful dreams were not given to you, and I would be ashamed ......of my life."

Luo Fei was immersed in Li Yonghao's deep and euphemistic singing, gently humming this golden song that was popular twenty years ago, reminiscing about his youth when he had nowhere to put it, and the past love that he had lost.

The song stopped abruptly, and Luo Fei opened his eyes, but he did not see the vast and barren red land he expected, nor did he see the shadow of the well-equipped Mars exploration spacecraft.

This spacecraft, codenamed "Dragon 24", was led and developed by SpaceX, a well-known private space enterprise in the United States, and is the world's first spacecraft developed by a private company, and is also the first private company spacecraft to complete civilian lunar exploration.

Because Zhengfei Technology, founded by Luo Fei, has a deep cooperative relationship with SpaceX in terms of new energy, new materials and artificial intelligence technology, and Luo Fei himself maintains a good personal relationship with Musk, the founder of SpaceX, so in the first Mars landing exploration operation, Luo Fei boarded the "Dragon 24" spacecraft specially designed for landing on Mars as one of the astronauts.

According to the schedule, the Dragon 24 spacecraft is scheduled to land at Valles Marineris on the surface of Mars at 14:10 on September 8, 2028, where Luo Fei and three other astronauts will unfurl their flags on Martian land and use Mosk's expensive SKYLINK+The global satellite network system is transmitted back to the earth, and it is transmitted all over the world through the 10G mobile network system built by Huawei Group in the world, witnessing the important moment of human conquest of the stars and the sea in the large and small media around the world.

At that time, the bright five-star red flag will become the most eye-catching color in the major media.

Because, from scientific and technological research and development to the production of new materials, from the manufacture of spacecraft to the provision of launch platforms, as well as the research and development funds needed by spaceX to carry out space exploration, they are inseparable from the figure of Zhengfei Technology and the support of the powerful motherland behind Zhengfei Technology.

After nearly a decade of independent rehabilitation and arduous struggle, China has overtaken in many fields, not only becoming a superpower alongside the United States politically and militarily, but also surpassing it economically, becoming the world's number one.

China's strength and influence have become the focus of global recognition and attention, and even the United States, which is trying every means to contain China's development, has no choice but to face up to and recognize China's rise, and calmly and reluctantly cede its role as a world leader.

Luo Fei and his Zhengfei Technology, as the country's leader in the high-tech field, in this economic and trade war that lasted for more than ten years, rushed into battle with famous enterprises such as Huawei Group, and cut down those once invincible European and American business giants one by one, and made important contributions to the strategy of the rise of great powers.

As the founder and leader of Zhengfei Technology, Luo Fei is certainly qualified and capable of satisfying some of his small hobbies through his influence, such as landing on Mars through SpaceX's "Dragon 24" spacecraft, which was one of Luo Fei's ideals when he was young.

In order to realize this ideal, Luo Fei not only personally participated in the research and development of the "Dragon 24" spacecraft, but also trained in NASA's most advanced space training base for one year, under the teaching of NASA's most senior and experienced astronauts, Luo Fei has become a well-trained astronaut, just waiting for the "Dragon 24" spacecraft to arrive on the day of launch.

Therefore, after attending the signing ceremony of the Sino-US trade agreement between the leaders of the two countries, Luo Fei couldn't wait to take a private jet to the Cape Canaveral launch site to catch up with the "Dragon 24" spacecraft's Mars exploration trip as scheduled.

It's just that Luo Fei doesn't have the scorching red planet in front of him, nor the shadow of the "Dragon 24" spacecraft and astronauts, only a huge blackboard full of chalk letters, and a huge oily and shiny bald head.

……

The cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling have been crawling for a long time, the walls are painted with the unique white and green wall paint of that era, and the desks of two people are carved with mottled pencil knife marks, as well as those crooked and oblique "early" characters, but the figures sitting behind the desks are all so youthful, even the simple summer school uniforms of acrylic fabrics cannot hide the vitality of the bodies of the teenagers in the development period.

And standing behind the podium and in front of the blackboard, because of a big head that resembles a portrait of Napoleon in history textbooks, and a handful of curved curls with personality on the top of his forehead, the bald middle-aged man who was nicknamed the emperor is still the history teacher who remembers the rigorous and serious class and the humorous nature of the class.

All this once left indelible traces in Luo Fei's memory, because it was the summer of 1998, the person who made him unforgettable, those things that made him full of regrets, all appeared in this summer, all happened this summer, and they were all sealed in the deepest and darkest place in Luo Fei's heart with the years.

But that's all 30 years ago.

Why do you sit here, why do you have such a dream, why does this dream come to life, as if you are really there.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the "Dragon 24" Mars spacecraft, due to the hallucinations in the brain caused by insufficient oxygen supply?

Could it be that this trip to Mars is doomed to failure, this is what I saw before I was on the verge of death.

It is said that before dying, people will see the person they want to see the most.

Luo Fei knew very well who he wanted to see the most, and that person was by no means "Napoleon".

So, first of all, it is certain that Luo Fei is not dead;

Secondly, he is not on the Dragon 24 spacecraft to Mars;

So, the only possible answer is:

He was born again.

Thinking of this word, which was popular in the online literature world more than ten years ago, Luo Fei couldn't help but have a bitter smile on his lips.

For many ordinary people who were depressed in their previous lives, it has become an effective way to decompress spiritually by writing and reading rebirth novels, fantasizing about another possibility of their life, and satisfying their regrets in the parallel world created by rebirth novels.

It's just that for Luo Fei, who has become famous and is at the peak of his life, rebirth does not bring him anything new, because he has already owned and enjoyed those wealth and power, and there is not much newness.

But in Luo Fei's heart, there has always been a knot that lingers in his arms and cannot be dissolved.

Because of his youthful ignorance in adolescence, he once hurt the feelings of an innocent girl;

Because of his poor family background when he was young, he once missed an unforgettable lover;

There are many, many more, the most beautiful things in youth, because of the lack of all kinds of conditions, because of the ridiculous self-esteem of young people, because of the inferiority complex caused by the world's eyes......

Everything is irretrievably missed.

For the rest of his life, Luo Fei never met true love again, nor did he start a family, he lingered among countless excellent women, but none of them were worthy of sincerity.

And the person who missed it back then is gradually drifting away from him, like two parallel lines that never intersect, and can no longer come together.

Even if Luo Fei in later generations is so successful, he can't buy back those people and feelings that he missed in the old days.

That's why Luo Fei has a soft spot for the song "Young and Promising", because the lyrics of this song completely express his heart and sing a man's greatest helplessness-

We always meet the person we want to spend our lives with the most at the age when we are most powerless.

"When I make money in the future, I will buy you a big house, a beautiful car, a big diamond, and I will buy you whatever you like. Now I have all of them, but I have forgotten what it feels like to love someone. ”

The song has lingered in Luo Fei's ears countless times, in his oversized office at his corporate headquarters, in his mansion worthy of a five-star hotel, in the cars and planes he travels in, and even in the spacecraft he sets off for an expedition to Mars.

Whenever he hears these lyrics, Luo Fei always thinks back to the summer of 1998, and the beautiful figure in the white dress, and what they have missed.

In the summer of 1998, they had nothing but liking and ended up losing each other.

For the rest of their lives, they have everything, but they are not qualified to love.

Life is like this, once you miss it, it's a lifetime.

And the rebirth of this undoubtedly gave Luo Fei a great opportunity that was hard to buy, so that he could return to the old days full of opportunities and challenges, re-choose the future path of life, and hold the hand of that person again.

This time, Dolfe must not be missed.

……

"Luo Fei, you can answer this question. ”

Just as Luo Fei was immersed in the surprise of rebirth and the melancholy of melancholy, "Napoleon", who had always favored him, suddenly asked by name.

Looking at the slippery and curly hair on the huge bald top of "Napoleon", and the expectant look on his smiling fat face, Luo Fei reflexively stood up from his seat, but his mind had not really focused on the real world after being reborn, so there was a trance and absent-mindedness on his face at the moment.

"Napoleon" did not realize that the male student in front of him was different from the past, and he still asked confidently according to the usual rhythm of class:

"In accordance with the provisions of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be elected locally through election or consultation and appointed by the Central People's Government. So, who is the current Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region?"

This question is not difficult at all, it can be said to be common sense.

Just one year ago, on July 1, China formally took back the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region from Britain and proclaimed the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government of the People's Republic of China. At the same time, Tung Chee-hwa, the first chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, took the oath of office at a solemn ceremony.

All the students in the class knew what the answer to this question was, and everyone believed that Lofe, who had been considered the best in history since the beginning of high school, was just a piece of cake to answer this question.

Many people also secretly joked that "Napoleon" was scoring points for his proud disciple Luo Fei.

It's just that Luo Fei, who has not yet woken up from the shock of rebirth, blurted out in the face of the eager eyes of "Napoleon".

"Carrie Lam. ”

The audience was in an uproar.

Some of the classmates who had always been jealous of the special treatment given to Luo Fei by "Napoleon" were squealing gloatingly, some of the students who had a good relationship with Luo Fei looked sympathetically at this "representative of the history class", and even more laughed heartily without any scruples, happy to see classmates who were similar to themselves on the spot.

This is youth, the cruel youth of wanton desolation.

Looking at the surprise and loss on "Napoleon's" face, Luo Fei came to his senses, but it was too late.

Luo Fei's first appearance since his rebirth ended with such a disgraceful answer.
