Chapter 244
The central compartment of the Lanruo is marked by the twelve hours and queens
The brisk dance music swirls in this huge cabin, and at this moment, the cabin has been completely transformed into two floors, with a height of 13 meters up and down, and dozens of elevators are connected to each other, as the central cabin of the ballroom has an incomparably rich and exquisite decoration, and the huge crystal chandelier hangs high on the vault, radiating a soft yellow light.

Thousands of dancers dance to the music in a variety of costumes, all of which are dressed in a variety of shapes, but invariably their faces are covered with delicate metal miàn jù to conceal their faces, and each elevator is flanked by ample drinks and snacks for the dancers to eat.
In one corner of the ballroom, two young girls in voluminous white princess dresses sat side by side on a bar in the corner, letting their delicate red dancing shoes hang in the air.
"Sister, I really didn't expect you to have such a crazy festival." The girl on the left whispers as she looks at the dancing crowd.
"Sailing in space for thousands of years was originally an extremely boring life, and for these crew members, it was compressed into 20 years of waking up from a dream, and then working diligently for a year." The girl on the right gently explained, "In order to save resources, Lan Ruo has an extremely strict and even cruel personnel turnover system, the standard crew is eight thousand, and moderate reproduction is allowed - and those who choose to have offspring, their place will be replaced by their children, thus falling into permanent dormancy, permanent dormancy means that they will lose all rights, no longer exist as crew members, and the only hope of awakening is to enter a second home or return to Earth, then they will be awakened to spend the rest of their lives as ordinary people, in between, Often spanning millennia. ”
"Although as compensation, they will be given the opportunity to work and educate their children for fifteen years after giving birth to offspring, but then permanent dormancy will follow, but despite this, Lan Ruo is still mostly a third-generation crew member at this time." Ye Yue's pure black eyes looked at the crowd in the distance, inexplicably. "This is their wedding together, in the ball they each find their own partner, and then they will get a separate room given to them by Lan Xia to complete the union in life, as for whether to leave children, it is up to them to decide."
My sister jumped off the bar lightly and looked back at her twin mèi mèi: "Ah Xing, please come with me, I will show you some unknown things about Lan Ruo." ”
20 minutes after the main control cabin of the Lanruo
The captain who changed back into a silver-white combat uniform led Ye Xing, who was dressed in a blue dress, along the silver-white metal corridors through a series of solid and thick alloy hatches, although they had to stop in front of each door to open, but due to the supreme authority that Ye Yue enjoyed, they soon came to their final destination.
It was a huge white cabin, divided into small compartments by high-strength quartz, and the girls stood quietly in the center of the cabin surrounded by countless instruments. Ye Xing tried to ask out loud, but his sister grabbed his wrist and followed her skillfully through these compartments to another small cabin behind the cabin, ten meters square, and the instrument was even more simple and refined to an almost perfect state.
"Welcome, Ah Xing, this is Lan Ruo's Cabin Zero, the Room of Life, one of the seven research rooms." My sister smiled with her arms outstretched, "It's also the only place where the spindle is kept." ”
"Spindle?" Ye Xing repeated quietly, puzzled.
"Yes, the 'Spindle', one of the ultimate creations of human technology, is also the key to eternal life." Hazuki whispered quietly, unable to discern any emotion. "It's the spell that is engraved on my body and soul."
"You have asked me so many times why the face of a girl is still retained after a thousand years, why the body is so weak and broken, why it is possible to work hundreds of standards without sleep, why it is regularly repaired and insisted on doing only the bare minimum to keep the body from collapsing. The reason for everything is the 'spindle'. ”
"In the fairy tale, the princess who received the blessings of the seven fairies was stabbed with a spindle at the age of fifteen, and since then she has been asleep for a hundred years, and when she wakes up, her voice and smile are the same as before." The girl spoke quietly, her voice calm and clear. "In reality, we have found a virus that can greatly delay the cell division cycle, and even all cells, but still allow the host to survive, and most importantly, although it also erodes the brain, it does not destroy any memory and thinking cells, so that people can have the same sharp thinking and reason, and obtain a lifespan of up to 10,000 years."
But soon, we discovered its Achilles' heel: "Because the cells are greatly inhibited, the host's physical strength is also weakened to the extreme, and because the body's self-repair function is also impaired, all damage will be accumulated, eventually resulting in the host's bones are brittle, muscle fibers, skin, and even blood vessels are very susceptible to damage, but the host will die from all kinds of minor injuries in a hundred years." While we have the ability to completely repair the organism, it is too costly to apply to all human beings. In addition, the host is unable to withstand any strenuous exercise and is difficult to undertake most of the work, which makes the virus extremely weak. ”
"So, the existence of the 'spindle' was ignored until, the starship pilot appeared."
"On the one hand, it is extremely difficult to cultivate a pilot as the soul of a starship, and only ten million people can find a suitable embryo, and on the other hand, the peak period of a pilot is only 60 years, once the battleship sets sail, the ship cannot be replaced as a replacement second pilot, which will be a catastrophe for the starship, and the pilot only relies on his extremely sharp nerve reflexes and neural piloting ability."
"And for the driver, the cost of repairing the body is a bit insignificant."
"So since then, all pilots have been planted with a 'spindle' when they get on board, and they have been with the ship as their own pilot for thousands of years until the end of the ship's mission."
"Sister, ...... you" Ye Xing looked at her sister who was standing quietly, speechless.
Ye Yue looked at Mèi Mèi on the other side and raised her hand to caress her cheek, "A thousand years ago, you were disqualified in the final retest due to the 'Butterfly with Dead Wings'. And I naturally came to Lan Ruo as the only candidate. After that, you have avoided me, and even when I said goodbye to you at your door that night, you hid inside and refused to open the door. Then I knew that I would never be forgiven by you for the rest of my life. ”
"Just because, that virus was indeed planted into your body by my own hands."
"Once the 'Winged Butterfly' enters the space environment, it will mutate and become incurable, but if it stays on Earth, it can be clear and complete within three years."
"And the reason I did this is that I knew in advance that the 'spindle' existed."
"I've always thought that you should have a better life and build a warm family with your loved ones."
"Knowing that you are still happy, I am satisfied."
"Sister!" Ye Xing fell to his knees on the alloy floor uncontrollably, tears raining down. "Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?"
"I don't know." Ye Yue replied quietly, "Someone must bear this sacrifice for humanity, and I am willing to exchange my detention for your freedom." ”
"Alright." Ye Yue smiled calmly: "And you have also seen that there are so many people who care about and love me, what am I not satisfied with?" ”
"My only wish is to get your forgiveness, and I hope Ah Xing can help me achieve it."
Ye Xing reluctantly stood up and hugged his sister lightly, "Sister, I will never forgive you." ”
The sister who was hugged by the shoulder smiled, "That's all I have to say, the sound is in the ninth cabin, I used to accompany him, this time I want you to go." ”
"Accompany?" Ye Xing inexplicably repeated a sour taste.
Such a rich vocabulary made Yue also have two cheeks, and said, "Dead girl, where do you want to go!" ”
Ye Xing unconsciously relaxed and gently let go of his embrace, "It's been a long time since my sister has spoken to Xing like this." ”
"Really, thank you for your hard work."
Mèi Mèi, who turned to leave, took two steps and seemed to decide something, suddenly turning back.
A layer of electromagnetic pulses that are imperceptible to the naked eye spread, instantly forming a huge electromagnetic barrier.
