Chapter 462: Persistent Dreams
The atmosphere fell into a 'death' silence, Zhou Wenhai and his wife, Tang Xin, were silent, both worried about the future of mankind, and reluctant to Zhou Yu, once Zhou Yu was appointed as the commander of the Ark, the chance of reuniting with him would become very slim, or decades later.
However, becoming an interstellar commander has always been Zhou Yu's dream in life, and at the same time, it can also prevent him from facing the same apocalyptic crisis as the humans on Earth.
Left is not good, right is not good, it is very difficult to choose.
Zhou Wenhai sighed, stood up, looked at Zhou Xing and said, "Xiaoyu is your son, you can look at the arrangement yourself! ”
"Daddy, the Ark project ....... Zhou Xing saw that Zhou Wenhai was about to leave, and hurriedly asked.
"Got it, is there less 'mess' I can help you clean up?" Zhou Wenhai glanced at Zhou Xing, asked rhetorically, turned around and left.
Zhou Xing's face was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to keep it.
"Anyway, I don't allow Xiaoyu to leave my side, otherwise I will go to the boat with him. Ye Huilan stared at Zhou Xing.
"Mom, isn't the matter still undecided! Zhou Xing looked at Ye Huilan and persuaded with a head as big as a cow.
Ye Huilan's face turned cold, and she looked at Zhou Xing coldly: "You are my born, as soon as you pout your ass, I know what you are going to do, have you made up your mind to let Xiao Yu be the commander of the Ark?"
Hearing this, Tang Xin stared at Zhou Xing, as if he had been robbed of his beloved treasure.
"Mom, being a starship commander has always been Zhou Yu's dream, we can't selfishly imprison him, I don't want him to hate us for the rest of our lives. Zhou Xing smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
Family or dreams, this is a difficult choice, choose to travel far away will be absent relatives in each other's company in life, however, it is precisely those who pass in the bits and pieces of time that are the most precious in a short life.
However, dreams are also the meaning of human life, even if the dream is small, once it is lost, life will lose hope, and it will completely become a 'shell' that lives only to live, Zhou Xing does not want to see Zhou Yu become such a person, and he is not willing to let Zhou Yu regard himself as an enemy.
Hearing this, Ye Huilan and Tang Xin glanced at each other, their expressions darkened, and they couldn't answer Zhou Xing's words.
"I can't help it, I don't know what Xiaoyu thinks, you can talk to him!" Tang Xin reached out and wiped the tears that slipped from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Zhou Xingdao.
After listening to Tang Xin's words, Ye Huilan sat there and was silent.
Zhou Xing sighed, stood up, and walked towards Zhou Yu's room with heavy steps.
The door of the room is hidden, Zhou Xing pushed the door open and entered, the room is the decoration style of the starship command room, the wallpaper of the star map, the model on the model shelf, and the projected astrolabe, just like in space.
Zhou Xing looked at it, his eyes locked on Zhou Yu, who was lying on the floating chair on the balcony, looking up at the starry sky, and slowly walked over.
"Dad, if I don't become a starship commander, what do you want me to do?
"Do whatever you like, and I've never stopped you. Zhou Xing sat down next to Zhou Yu and said with a smile.
"Liar! You have already guessed this result, right, that's why you entered the 'civilization' a few years ago and asked Aunt Zhou Dan to inquire about my situation. Zhou Yu pursed his lips, looked at Zhou Xing with a look of disbelief, and debunked.
"Ahem!" Zhou Xing was taken aback when he heard this 'old thing' from Zhou Yu's mouth.
Seeing Zhou Xing's reaction, Zhou Yu smiled and looked at the starry sky again, like an eagle yearning for a free sky but with its wings tied, his eyes full of sadness.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Xing sighed heavily, the reason why he changed his mind was because he expected this situation, the more he couldn't get it, the more persistent he was, and it was likely to become Xiaoyu's inner demon, making him decadent, becoming a second ancestor who ate and waited for death, and ruined his whole life.
"Xiaoyu, if you still insist, then continue to persevere! Daddy supports you. Zhou Xing assured Zhou Yu.
"No, this dream is so ridiculous that I won't stick to it anymore. Zhou Yu closed his eyes, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, and said sadly.
"What's ridiculous, Xiaoyu, don't be like this!" Zhou Xing's face was anxious, and he hurriedly persuaded.
"Enough, don't say it again, I've given up, Dad, I know you want to comfort me, I'm fine, will you let me walk quietly alone." Zhou Yu Huo Ran opened his eyes and glared at Zhou Xing angrily and asked.
Seeing Zhou Yu's appearance, Zhou Xing also came from the age of eighteen, so he naturally knew Zhou Yu's mood at the moment, and understood what he needed.
"Okay, I'll go out, come back to me if you keep dreaming, and we'll have a good talk. Zhou Xing nodded, stood up, and simply exited Zhou Yu's room.
Zhou Yu turned a blind eye.
After more than ten minutes, a sound of footsteps of "clang, clang" came from far and near.
As soon as he heard the footsteps, Zhou Yu knew who was coming, and quickly reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Xiaozhi, did Daddy ask you to come over?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xiaozhi who walked into the room and asked.
"No, the boss went to the lab, I saw that you had a big argument just now, so I came to see you. Zhou Xiaozhi shook his head and replied.
Hearing this, Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said self-deprecatingly: "Also, in addition to engaging in scientific research, what else is he concerned about." ”
"Xiaoyu, you can't say that about the boss, the boss actually cares about you the most. Hearing this, Zhou Xiaozhi stopped doing it, and immediately Zhou Xing defended.
"That's enough, if you come and say good things for him, then you can go out too. Zhou Yu waved his hand in disgust.
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaozhi was anxious, did not retreat, but advanced, walked in front of Zhou Yu, and said loudly: "I don't believe you can see for yourself." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xiaozhi's electronic eyes projected a holographic light curtain in front of Zhou Yu.
In the screen, Huo Ran has an image of Zhou Xing, he is in the laboratory, office, conference room, whenever he has free time, he will look at a holographic screen.
"Ash, Xiaoyu can walk today!Haha, great!"
"Ash, did you hear me?
"Xiaoyu, Dad loves you, I'll hug you when this experiment is over. ”
"Ash, let Xiaoyu go more, don't beat him too badly!"
"Ash, do you think you should let Xiaoyu go to school and make a few friends?"
"Xiao Yu kicked this ball awesomely, I really want to play with him!"
“……。 ”
The holographic picture seemed to open the bottle of time, and suddenly saw Zhou Xing witnessing Zhou Yu's growth through the holographic screen.
"This is, when I was a kid, this was when I was eleven, this is ,......。 It turns out that Daddy ,......。 Zhou Yu's eyes widened, looking at the holographic screen with great excitement, and he was shocked by a huge happiness.
The boss has a last resort and can't put down the scientific research work at hand, so he can only use his spare time to pay attention to Xiaoyu's growth. Zhou Xiaozhi explained to Zhou Yu.
It turns out that Daddy has been paying attention to himself in this way.
A trace of emotion flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, and he nodded heavily: "Well! I know!"
"Xiao Yu, I'll show you what happened after you left just now. Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Yudao.
As soon as the voice fell, the holographic screen changed, and the picture of Zhou Xing and Zhou Wenhai talking immediately appeared.
Zhou Yu's spirit was shocked, and he listened with pricked ears.
When he heard that Zhou Xing supported him as the commander of the Ark and started to do family work, Zhou Yu was pleasantly surprised, and tears of joy couldn't help but appear in the corners of his eyes.
"Dad, I didn't expect you to know me best. Zhou Yu trembled with excitement.
"No, I'm going to apologize to Daddy! Zhou Yu remembered something, his face changed, and then he asked Zhou Xiaozhi: "Xiaozhi, where is my father?" ”
"Boss, in the Space Observation Room. Zhou Xiaozhi replied with a smile.
"Hmm. Zhou Yu nodded, turned around and couldn't wait to leave the room.
The Top of Civilization pierces through the clouds, is illuminated and radiates dazzling brilliance, and at night it is the most spectacular view of the entire Sky City.
In the space observation room, in the spacious hall, more than a dozen staff members are silently busy at the operation desk.
Space is vast, and even with the use of nanoprobes, the useful information observed by the Clairvoyant is still only a drop in the bucket.
There are only five years left in the mission period, however, the universe is too big, when will this great discovery be found? Zhou Xing frowned, staring at the holographic screen, studying the monitored data, looking for clues.
"Dad, what are you busy with?" Zhou Yu's voice sounded from behind.
Zhou Xing stopped working, turned his head and looked at Zhou Yu in surprise: "Well, why did you come up?"
"Dad, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you just now, I'm here to apologize to you, I'm sorry!" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xing and apologized sincerely.
"It's okay!" Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, and then asked puzzledly: "What's wrong with you?"
"Daddy, are you serious about what you just said?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xing with blazing eyes and asked.
Zhou Xing hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhou Yu and nodded solemnly, and asked, "Hmm! What is your choice?"
"Dad, I have been exposed to astrolabe deduction since I was three years old, and I still hold on to this dream, otherwise, I really don't know how to live this long life. Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xing and said with a firm gaze.
Zhou Xing nodded, looked at Zhou Yu and said earnestly: "I hope you won't regret your choice in the future, just like when I was a child, my dream was to be a big scientist, and now I have been regretting it." ”
"Dad, you are the person I admire the most, and I have always followed you as an example. Zhou Yu's spirit was shocked, and he looked at Zhou Xing with burning eyes, with great reverence,
Hearing this, Zhou Xing held his breath and took a breath, feeling a grievance in his heart.
"Well, this path is yours, and I respect your choice. Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Yu with tears in his eyes and said.
"Thank you, Dad, you are the greatest father in the world!" Zhou Yu was overjoyed, flew into a servant, hugged Zhou Xing fiercely, and said with great gratitude.
"Don't be happy too early, if you want to become the commander of the Ark Mothership, I don't count it alone, you still need to go through the federal government's layers of screening, once you are eliminated, the Ark Mothership Commander will have nothing to do with you. Zhou Xing smiled slightly, looked at Zhou Yu and said.
Hearing this, Zhou Yu's body stiffened, looked at Zhou Xing suspiciously, and asked, "Dad, you won't deliberately use this excuse to make me die, right?"
"How come? The funder of the Rock Mothership is the federal government, do you think I can appoint a random commander without their permission?" Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Yu and asked rhetorically.
"This ,...... Daddy, I am absolutely confident that I will win if there is normal competition, but you won't get in the way, right?" Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhou Xing and said worriedly.
With a "knock", Zhou Xing's face turned angry and flicked on Zhou Yu's forehead.
"Ouch, Dad, why are you playing me!" Zhou Yu touched his forehead and cried out in pain.
Zhou Xing glared at Zhou Yu and asked, "Stinky boy, is your father such a tasteless person?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Dad, I was wrong, I don't care about it, I shouldn't question you." ”
Zhou Yu licked his face, looked at Zhou Xing pitifully and asked, "Dad, when are you going to tell the people in the federal government!"
"I'll let Ash deal with it, go down! Zhou Xing glanced at Zhou Yu and drove Zhou Yu away.
"Okay, okay, you're busy!" Zhou Yu nodded and quickly turned to leave.
——————
The next day, early in the morning, Zhou Yuyu's family said goodbye, and several officers stood waiting in the military aircraft of the federal government.
"Xiaoxing, mom is not by your side, you have to take care of yourself, pay attention to your body, don't brace yourself. Tang Xin looked at Zhou Yu and explained seriously.
"Okay!" Zhou Yu nodded, his clear eyes full of reluctance, this was the first time he had left his family in eighteen years.
"Xiaoyu, grandma knows that you have always wanted to be the commander of the starship, but there are some things that must not be reckless, the army is not as good as the family, if you can't hold on and come back, we won't laugh at you." Ye Huilan looked at Zhou Yu reluctantly, wiping her tears as she spoke.
"Grandma, don't be like this, Xiaoyu has grown up, let me try other lives, okay? Don't cry, or I'll cry too!" Zhou Yu's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at Ye Huilan distressedly and persuaded.
"Okay, good, good, Xiaoyu has grown up, grandma won't cry!" Ye Huilan nodded with satisfaction, holding back her tears.
"General Liu, General Ye, Xiao Yu will ask you!" Zhou Xing walked towards the two officers and solemnly entrusted.
"You're welcome, we have been famous for a long time as 'Yu Shuai', and the starship command has all him to join, this is worthy of the name, we will take good care of him!" General Liu looked at Zhou Yu, who said goodbye to his family, and said with a happy face.
"Yes, it turns out that 'Yu Shuai' is the son of President Zhou, and the official tiger father has no dogs!" General Ye looked at Zhou Xing with admiration on his face and praised.
……。
Soon, Zhou Yu got on a military aircraft under the reluctant gaze of everyone, turned into a black dot, and quickly disappeared in the sky.
