"Okay, just ten years. If you can complete the reproduction of ZS bacteria in ten years, then I promise you that even if I fight for my life, I will make a three-dimensional subspace for you. ”

After a little hesitation, Ou Mengfeng decided to let it go.

Lai Wenming grinned, and his serious expression rarely showed the vigor that seemed to belong to a young man, "Dean Ou, you are humble." After all, in the previous timeline, you were able to make a particle bomb without the technical conditions at all. ”

Ou Mengfeng waved his hand angrily, "Okay, okay, I don't need you to put a high hat on me." ”

When Lai Wenming turned around to leave, Ou Mengfeng reminded him behind his back, "You understand history yourself, it doesn't matter, this is your own ability." But I have to remind you not to relay what you find to anyone else who doesn't know. The sage once said......"

"Okay, okay, I know. Everyone has their own destiny that is different and in flux. Therefore, predicting life in advance is not necessarily a happy thing. Right? Don't look at me as only sixteen, but I know a lot. ”

"Go, go, go."

Ou Mengfeng waved his hand angrily.

Waiting for Lai Wenming to leave the office, Ou Mengfeng said to himself, "I don't know what height this kid can reach this time." ”

Although he didn't want to admit it, he, as the dean, was actually secretly envious of Lai Wenming's achievements.

He knows it well.

Even if he is not old now, and he is on the same starting line as Lai Wenming, he will never be able to catch up with Lai Wenming's height.

Creating a three-dimensional subspace is already his limit.

But Ou Mengfeng knew that if Lai Wenming succeeded, then the ZS bacteria were just the beginning.

So Xianzhe was right. People who don't have a little perseverance really can't withstand this blow. ”

Ou Mengfeng muttered to himself, closed the scroll, and walked out of the door.

He's got to breathe.

The sun is just right outside.

The sun hangs high.

The garden-style Xingfeng Research Institute is full of green trees, sometimes there are birds flying through the air, and sometimes there are animals running through the forest.

The woods are interspersed with spiky babies, and these are white houses.

At a time when the technological level has reached a new peak in the 26th century, human beings have decorated the earth as if it was ancient thousands of years ago.

Time and space seem to be a subtle cycle.

……

"Commander Glenny, in seventy-two hours, we will be on the planet of Methuselah."

A small fleet is slowly navigating through space at half the speed of light.

In the command cabin of the New Heart Fire, Sumit, dressed in a sassy military uniform, said to Glennie, who was dozing off in the command chair.

Glennie opened his sleepy eyes, "Is that so?" Okay, execute Plan A. ”

The so-called Plan A is the most ordinary and conventional development plan formulated by the Imperial Ministry of Science before departure.

Bonnie's fleet will first establish a habitable space station colony around the planet Methuselah, and start a rapid multiplication program with the goal of reaching 10 billion people within 20 years.

The fleet carried up to two hundred billion frozen embryos.

The mission of the more than 1 million crew members who accompanied the fleet included not only carrying out scientific research activities on the spot, but also building bases.

In the interstellar era, when human beings could not master cryonics technology, and human lifespan was never able to exceed the threshold of 500 years, the importance of frozen embryos in the process of human colonization and expansion was raised to an unprecedented height.

Human beings, who have a short lifespan and have to face birth, old age, sickness and death, can only continue to pin their hopes on the next generation if they want to occupy more space in the universe.

Of course, there are people who yearn for eternal life, and in the 24th century, there were even some resource allocators who invested huge sums of money and a lot of manpower and material resources to try to find the technology of immortality outside of the "Millennium Plan" left by Chen Feng.

Although Chen Feng has already said that eternal life is a fool's dream for human beings, since it is a dream, there will always be someone who will do it.

These people have tried many different methods, anti-aging, mind freezing, cryonics, mechanization, cloning and substitution...... And so on and so forth, but there is a big problem that can never be solved.

The human mind cannot be solidified.

Even if someone did manage to transfer the memories of the dying old man into his clone brain, it would not take two days for his mind to fall apart, and the reproduced human brain became a pile of meaningless organisms.

There are also people like Chen Feng who try to turn their thinking into quantization and enter the quantum network, but the cruel thing is that the memories of these people are assimilated by data in the quantum network and become the "nutrients" of the stars.

The sense of autonomy of these people has vanished.

Their lives have also become an insignificant piece of the starry experience.

Mankind's desire for eternal life continued until the end of the twenty-fifth century, when it finally came to an end.

It is only then that people fully realize the reality.

"No one" can live forever.

This is the basic law that the universe has given to mankind.

Now Glennie seems to be facing the end of his life.

Glennie, who would soon be one hundred and eighty years old, looked much older than his peers, his hair had fallen thin, his eyes were cloudy, and his cheeks were red from years of alcoholism.

He didn't look like a fleet commander at all, but rather a despised old degenerate.

Sumit had privately reported many times to change the commander, but no one answered her requests.

No one rejected her, and no one signed her.

Sumit was helpless.

This chief of staff is really aggrieved.

She only secretly rejoiced, thankfully, this voyage was only ten years, otherwise her life would have been ruined here.

Sumit: "Mr. Glenny, our voyage is coming to an end, is that all you have to say?" Execute Plan A? Finished? ”

Glennie nodded, "yes." What else to say? Giving an impassioned speech? ”

Sumit covered his forehead, "I can't believe it. You will be the hero who turned the tide on the K-star voyage. ”

Glenny laughed, "Little girl, the universe is so big, of course there are many wonders, and there are many things you can't believe." ”

"I've read your resume, and it's clear that you used to be ......"

"A person with a zest for life?"

"Yes."

"People change. Well, I remember it was written in Plan A that when you establish a colony, you're going to be a colony administrator, right? ”

"Yes."

"Very well, then please use your privileges to prepare a small battle-class ship for me."

"What are you going to do?"

"Go where I'm supposed to be."

Sumit: "......"

On this side of the planet, Lai Wenming is waving goodbye to many of his close friends and parents.

In the past ten years, he has not only completed the reconstruction of ZS bacteria, but also completed the theoretical deduction of pseudo-quantum viruses.

Now, he is going to continue his "dangerous" research in the first complete three-dimensional subspace in human history that Dean Ou Mengfeng personally built for him.

The three-dimensional subspace is built into a palm-sized metal sphere.

The qualities of the metal orb are seven or eight points similar to that of the Mystery Core.

In the process of Ou Mengfeng's research, the stable unified cohesion in the core of the fan tribe provided him with a lot of reference for ideas.

The orb of metal will be buried in an unnamed asteroid in the Kuiper Asteroid Belt.

From now on, Lai Wenming will be lonely and isolated from the world until he completes all his unfinished business.

Lai, now 27, turned down all aides.

He was thinner than he had been ten years earlier.

In the era of highly developed nutrition, it is a miracle to be thin like Lai Wenming.

Seeing Lai Wenming step onto the spaceship, Lai Shengyi stepped forward, shook hands with his son, patted him on the shoulder, but said nothing.

Lai Wenming's mother looked at him blankly, "After a person goes in, you must remember to strictly follow the reminders of artificial intelligence, eat on time, and ensure nutrition." If your body collapses first, you can't do anything. ”

Lai Wenming nodded, "I see." ”

Turn around.

The spaceship sets sail.

In two very different places that span 190 light-years blocked by the dome, two people with different destinies are unconsciously moving in the same direction.
