Chu Tianle shook his head slightly at Ji Renrui and stopped his words. The purpose of He Zizhou's visit today is by no means to talk about a faster-than-light flight experiment. No, he's talking about the "faster-than-light age", and he has big plans in mind based on this technology. Chu Tianle said succinctly:

"You must have a proven approach to how to fly blindly."

"Yes, there is a way, but I don't dare to say whether it is mature or not. But let me start with the framework of a big plan, on which I disagree with Uncle Alex. That's exactly what I'm here for today - I want to get the support of you, Uncle Ma, Sister Leshui, and Uncle Ji first. ”

"Okay, let's talk about it."

"The first task of the new ship is to figure out the cataclysmic range and find the boundaries of the shrinking area, which is not said. Uncle Alex and I have no disagreement on this. It's just that...... You know, in recent observations, it has been found that the catastrophic region has always expanded outward at the speed of light, and there is no significant decrease in intensity. These two signs are very ominous, and it must be clarified quickly. However, if the exploration ship flies at a speed below the speed of light, it will only be able to stay behind the winger of the tsunami, and it will be farther and farther away. Such an exploration is useless. I think we have to chase the Tsunami Winger in a faster-than-light spacecraft, observe it up close, and figure out how it works, especially if the intensity of the space contraction weakens at the winger. ”

The expressions of those present were a little gloomy. He Zizhou is right, the "expansion of the speed of light" and "the intensity has not decreased significantly" in the cataclysmic area are two very ominous news, which are secretive topics in the media. If this trend persists, it means that no matter how hard we try, we will not be able to escape life. The weakened Maasqi's eyes were blazing at the moment, and he said:

"Well, go on."

"So, the development of a 'near-light-speed or light-speed spaceship' has lost its relevance and must go beyond it and directly into the development of 'faster-than-light'. And time is pressing, and there is no time to do any more experiments in the solar system. Tinkering with the Goldfish is not possible, and a new ship must be built as soon as possible, and then fly straight after the Tsunami Winger. The radius of the cataclysmic area is now close to fifty light-years, and roughly calculated, if the ship reaches Mach 1.7, it will be 120 years before it catches up with the boundary expanding at the speed of light. If the speed of the ship reaches Mach 2, the time can be reduced to a hundred years. If you take into account the return journey of the ship, the above time is doubled. He looked directly at Chu Tianle, "Since there is no relativistic effect, such a trip will already take several generations." Therefore, a space society with a scale of 1,000 people must be established on this spacecraft in order to ensure effective reproduction. We, and I mean the members of the Noah Convention team," he said, swiping his hand over Obhra Haza and Ji Jichang, "are already preparing in advance. ”

He took the lead in starting the discussion of the "Noah's Ark Human Convention" two years ago, and in this discussion, a group of young Zhuang scientists gradually gathered around him to form the "Noah Convention School", and Ji Jichang was also a hardcore member of the Noah organization. Ji Renrui and Miao Qi looked at Changchang and couldn't help but feel gloomy in their hearts. Changchang will definitely go to the sky with this spaceship, and that is the day he will say goodbye to his parents. Although the farewell is sad, they are looking for a way to survive, so they can also think about being parents. Ji Ren sharply brushed away the sadness and asked:

"What is Alex's opinion?"

He believes that the focus of technology should be on near-light speed flight. He said that if the speed of light is crossed, it is difficult to ensure the safety of navigation. ”

"He's right, of course, safety first and foremost." Ji Renrui said.

Chu Tianle waved his hand at Ji Renrui, but Ji's words did not reach the point. He Zizhou will not ignore the safety of the spaceship, and the differences between him and Alex must be deeper. Chu said, "Let's talk about your methods to overcome blindness." ”

He Zizhou shook his head, "No, in faster-than-light flight, blindness is unavoidable. It is not even comparable to a submarine, which, when sneaking, although it cannot be located with a star map or GPS, can at least rely on gyroscopes for inertial navigation, but with slightly worse accuracy. But in wormhole flight, the spacecraft is stationary relative to the local space, so the inertial navigator, accelerometer, and velocity meter are also theoretically ineffective - because there are no measurable parameters at all! ”

Chu Tianle nodded deeply. Yang Yang is right, there is only one way to navigate the wormhole spacecraft: rely on the star map, but this can only be done after the spacecraft is out of the wormhole state. He Zizhou continued:

"And for faster-than-light ships, there's little practical value in keeping an eye on it. Because the ship doesn't have time to react to dynamic obstacles, just like ground artillery can't rely on sound to fight a supersonic fighter - by the time you hear the sonic boom, the plane will already pass you. ”

"You're right. But—move on. I'm a slow otter at the moment, unable to keep up with your train of thought. ”

"Is there a quick-thinking otter like you in the world?" He Zizhou smiled, "I'd better show you a short film first." It should be noted in advance that the mechanism of the bullet passing through the glass in the short film is completely different from the mechanism of our wormhole flight, but it can give you an intuitive impression. ”

Oprah. Haza and Ji Jichang were ready to start showing a short film on their television, which was a high-speed camera shot of a bullet through glass. The bullet flies in transparent air, and due to its high speed, a shock wave of air is formed in front of the bullet, which interferes with the propagation of light, blurring the edges of the bullet surrounded by it. When the bullet touches the glass, it is not actually the bullet that breaks through the glass, but the compressed air mass in front of the bullet that knocks a hole in the glass. The bullet flew through the hole with the air mass, and the air mass exploded violently, forming a strong turbulence, but the shape of the warhead did not change observably.

The video freezes on this frame. He Zizhou said:

"Brother Tianle, I still vividly remember the shock in my heart when I first witnessed the annihilation of space at Fermilab in the United States. The energy generated by space annihilation was low, but the sturdy and bulky accelerator tubes were thrown out in an instant, forming a huge smooth inner sphere. Because this process has nothing to do with energy, force and temperature, but the natural accumulation of matter after the annihilation of space, just like the accumulation of suspended matter along the bottom of the lake after the sudden disappearance of the lake water, it is precisely because of this mechanism that the subsequent wormhole flight is created. ”

Chu Tianle said: "You mean, the wormhole naturally forms the protection of the spaceship? ”

"That's right! Even if there is a hard iron meteorite in front of the route, there will be no collision, because the space annihilation before the collision has already thrown the meteorite out of the wormhole, forming a natural accumulation outside the annihilation space, so the spacecraft will leave a smooth cavern through the meteorite. Even if the ship's route encounters a star, the wormhole will go straight through the star. Moreover, if it travels faster than the speed of light, even the hundreds of millions of degrees of heat in the core of the star will not cause the slightest damage to the spacecraft, because at the interface between the two spaces, light, heat and even gravity cannot pass through; Of course, after the wormhole strike, space will quickly return to normal in Planck time, and it will also resume normal light, heat and gravitational propagation, but it takes time after all, and the faster-than-light spacecraft has already crossed this area by this time. I think of an example, there is a high-speed cavitation bubble in the weapon**, which pushes away the sea water in front of it with continuous foaming, which can greatly increase the speed of **, which is similar to wormhole flight in principle. After a pause, he added a little more, "Although according to the structure of our spacecraft, the acceleration and excitation of particles can only be carried out in a vacuum state, but as long as it flies continuously, then a 'self-made vacuum' can always be maintained in front of the spacecraft, so that the spacecraft can continue to excite, even in the process of passing through stars." ”

The picture he painted was so amazing that the whole room seemed to be stunned for a while. Everyone didn't say a word, staring at the freeze-frame picture on the TV. Chu Tianle was also silent, but he looked into the distance with burning eyes, and his thoughts had already flown farther. He Zizhou and his two assistants waited quietly, but in fact, they were not at peace in their hearts. After a long time, Tianle's mother was the first to shout:

"My God, if the spaceship hits the sun, won't it shatter the sun?"

He Zizhou shook his head and pointed to the freeze-frame picture on the TV, "Generally, not." Look at this piece of glass, it's not broken, it's shot out of a small round hole. Because the bullet is very fast, its force does not have time to disperse, and the bullet has already flown away. I think the sun is the same, it will only be shot out of a small round hole, and then it will return to normal after an instant. However, I dare not conclude that stars are all gaseous, and perhaps the flow of gaseous material into the cave will amplify the flow into astronomical turbulence. ”

Yu Leshui said: "In other words, such a spaceship is like a messenger of hell, leaving a path of destruction wherever it passes? ”

He Zizhou immediately looked up at her, feeling bitter in his heart. Sister Yu has always been gentle in her words, and it is obvious from this sentence that she is strongly opposed to this way of flying. He tried his best to explain:

"The universe is very vast and extremely empty, and the chance of a collision between the ships in flight is extremely low. And don't forget, the premise of wormhole flight is in the cataclysmic region, in a dense vacuum where the contraction exceeds the critical point. Even if some destruction is caused, it is only a slight advance of the predestined destruction. ”

"But what if the spaceship crashes into a civilization like our Earth that has not yet been destroyed?"

He Zizhou quickly glanced at Sister Yu and had nothing to say. She is using "extreme methods" to put the most brutal prospect in front of her, and this possibility is not absolutely non-existent. Chu Tianle spoke at this time, and his tone was very calm:

"The prospect of a spacecraft crashing into a civilized planet is basically equal to zero, and there is no need to think about it."

Yu Leshui looked at her husband and said calmly: "So, what are the chances of the spacecraft hitting the 'Chu's'?" And if the new ship also follows the same route? ”

The atmosphere in the room began to be tense, and everyone felt a conflict of opinions from the apparent calm of the two. Chu Tianle didn't want to answer, but finally answered:

"Again, it's close to zero. Leshui, we can't stop moving forward for a near-zero possibility. ”

Yu Leshui shook his head sadly, and looked at the people in the house in turn: father-in-law, mother-in-law, Ji Renrui, Obhra Haza, Ji Jichang, etc. The father-in-law was silent, and his attitude could not be seen from his expression. The mother-in-law was shocked, she clearly disagreed with her son's claims, but could not come up with a strong rebuttal. At this time, Ji Renrui spoke, and his attitude was very gentle:

"In fact, even if it causes 'destruction all the way', this kind of scene is not surprising. If you look back at the history of the earth, the expeditions of Magellan and Columbus were accompanied by destruction, including their massacre of indigenous peoples, the spread of disease, and the destruction of the environment. In fact, every great geographical discovery and great migration of peoples in the history of civilization on earth has been accompanied by a road of destruction, at least the destruction of forests and wild animals, but such a road of destruction is accompanied by the progress of civilization. Leshui, you won't completely deny the history of civilization on earth, right? ”

Yu Leshui shuddered in his heart, knowing that he couldn't convince these men, they were like boys looking forward to Christmas gifts, and there was an irrepressible excitement at the moment. They finally have the opportunity to fly faster than the speed of light, the opportunity to challenge the laws of God, and the opportunity to open up new frontiers, and they will never give up easily, even if it is accompanied by "destruction along the way". This desire to conquer is naturally in a man's blood, as powerful as the desire to survive — though that isn't entirely accurate, she thought, sarcastically. At least, there is the same desire for conquest in the blood of a woman named Obra Haza.

Ma Shiqi finally spoke: "Shui'er, this matter, I mean a faster-than-light spaceship or faster-than-light era, can't be stopped. Let's pause the discussion, Sister-in-law Xu is shouting that we are eating. ”

At dinner, the women take the lead role. Miao Ji pulled Yu Leshui next to her, carefully inquired about her pregnancy, and made many suggestions as a person who came over. She saw that Yu Leshui had something on her mind - everyone who was actually present had something on her mind, including Tianle's mother and Uncle Ma. Young people are even more excited about the realization of faster-than-light flight, which can be said to be the "original dream" planted in the depths of human hearts. And the old people are related to "all the way to destruction". Miao Qi persuaded the fish to enjoy the water:

"Uncle Ma is right, don't think about it if you can't stop it. By the way, Changchang, didn't you always say that you wanted to see the places mentioned in Aunt Yu's famous article? Like a small waterhole strung by a thin stream, willow leaf fish, crematorium, etc., let's go and see it after eating. ”

"Great! I've been so busy for the past few years that I should have gone to see it a long time ago. ”

Across the table, Ofra Haza sat with Tianle's mother. She asked with the straightforwardness of a Westerner: "Auntie, I listen to Sister Yu's tone, Liu Ye is interested in Zizhou?" ”

Tianle's mother was stunned by the question, looked at He Zizhou, looked at her daughter-in-law, and didn't know how to answer for a while. Obhra Haza said nonchalantly: "My relationship with Zizhou has been decided. But it doesn't matter, if Liu Ye is interested, I will happily share a husband with her. ”

Tianle's mother and sister-in-law Xu in the banquet were stunned. Even if it is the straightforwardness and sexual freedom of Westerners, this kind of straightforwardness and freedom is too much. Yu Leshui suddenly woke up and hurriedly explained:

"Mom, she means in the spaceship society. In Noah's Pact, polygamy is a normal and mandatory marriage structure. This has nothing to do with masculinity, it is mainly about the efficiency of reproduction, but also about the diversity of genes. When introducing these circumstances, Yu Leshui couldn't help but sigh: when highly civilized human beings immigrated to the wilderness, the "rules of civilized society" that seemed to have been enshrined as heavenly were immediately diluted, and even faded before departure, while the "animal nature" that had been hidden deep in the genes for a long time was revived overnight. The only goal of animal nature is to "survive and reproduce", and anything that is contrary to this, even if it was once a very sacred moral code, must be put aside.

Obrah Haza nodded, "yes, I didn't say that clearly. I mean - if Yanagi is willing to be a member of this ship. ”

With this in mind, He Zizhou introduced the background and basic content of the Noah Convention.

This background is that human beings must psychologically sever their ties with the earth, change from a "land nation" to a "sea nation", and take the vast space as their spiritual home. The spaceship should not be just an escape tool for humans, but a land for new humans. It was against this background that a group of people led by him drew up a detailed Noah's Convention in advance.

Noah's Pact is actually the folk code of the new society, the Bible of space teaching, and its content is all-encompassing. He Zizhou introduced the key points.

The first is the way human beings reproduce and the related ethical constructions. This is the most important part of the Convention, because reproduction is the most important foundation for survival. Ship societies can only maintain a small population of about a thousand people, so they must have the most efficient reproduction. Taking into account the efficiency of reproduction and genetic diversity, mainly the diversity of the Y gene, the marriage structure is defined as monogamy. This also takes into account the marriage ethics of the previous civilized society as much as possible, for example, without considering the group marriage system. Yu Leshui has just said that this has nothing to do with masculinism, but actually has a bit of a "feminist" flavor - thinking that in the era of catastrophic changes, the role of women is more important than that of men. Due to the small size of the population, it is difficult to completely avoid consanguineous marriages, especially in the event of accidents and disasters, and a large number of social attrition, so the ethics of consanguineous reproduction have been greatly relaxed. All customs or personal freedoms that are not conducive to reproduction, such as dinkism, homosexuality, late marriage and childbearing, and frigidity, are strictly forbidden on the ship. A monogamous family must have at least four children in order to guarantee a small positive growth of the population. However, after the population reaches the maximum allowable by the ship, it must be abstained. From this point of view, the trigamous marriage structure is actually useless on the ship, it is only a preparation for the "planetary society", and if the ship escapes the cataclysmic area and lands on some terrestrial planet, it must quickly start to reproduce most efficiently.

Then there is the political structure, the practice of absolute democracy and absolute authority. The captain is re-elected every two years and is approved by a simple majority. Each member with civil capacity must participate in the voting, which consists of votes in favor and against, with no abstentions. During non-election periods, as long as there are more than 50 joint votes, an early re-election can be held. However, after the captain was elected, he implemented absolute centralized rule, and his subordinates were completely appointed and dismissed by the captain, and there was no system of separation of powers like on earth. All decisions on board the ship are made by the captain alone in order to cope with the ever-changing environment of space. Only the sentence of the death penalty (the retention of the death penalty on board) must be submitted to the citizens' assembly for approval after the captain has made a decision.

If the provisions of the Noah Convention need to be amended, they must be adopted by a two-thirds majority and voted on three times, with an interval of not less than one month between each time. If a provision of the Convention has to be violated in exigent circumstances, the master has the right to dispose of it on the spot, but only after it has been confirmed by the citizens' assembly within three months, and it must be approved by a two-thirds majority vote, otherwise the master shall be liable.

After listening to He Zizhou's introduction, Tianle's mother and sister-in-law Xu accepted it smoothly. After all, this is the era of intellectual explosion, and people with a low level of knowledge like them can easily enjoy rational thinking. Many of the contents of Noah's covenant, such as polygamy, consanguineous marriage, and actual monarchy, are emotionally difficult to accept, but rationally acceptable is fine. In the end, Tianle's mother was already able to joke about it:

"I have to quickly reveal the news I got today. If she can't give up Brother Yangyang, she has to hurry. However, then she will be on the spaceship, and she will be separated from her parents forever, and she is really reluctant to think about it—she is reluctant to give up, the spaceship is to find a way to live. ”

At the dinner table, Chu Tianle didn't talk much. He was smiling all the time, listening to everyone's chatter, sometimes whispering a few words to his wife. After lunch, he said:

"Changchang, don't you want to see those attractions? Let's all go and let Sister-in-law Xu lead the way. Godfather, Yangyang, Brother Renrui, and Leshui, the four of you stay, I still have something to discuss. ”

The others knew that he must be discussing something important, and they quickly left the place and went up the hill with a shout. Tianle's mother was worried about her husband, but she also left at her husband's signal. The room fell silent all of a sudden, and the four people who stayed behind waited quietly for Tianle to speak. Tianle smiled and said:

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Yangyang, I admire the Noah Covenant you have made, and you young people have already come ahead of us. He looked at his godfather and said self-deprecatingly, "Am I a little bit of a seller?" I'm forty-one years old, but I feel like I'm in a bad mood. ”

Ma Shiqi smiled: "You are not old, but they are younger." They are the new generation in space. ”

"Yangyang, you said very well just now. Mankind must psychologically sever its ties with the earth, change from a land nation to a space nation, and regard space as the destination of the soul. The spaceship should not be an escape tool for humans, but a land for new humans. My roots in the earth have been too deep, but I am ready to learn from you and cut it off with all my heart. ”

"You mean...... Do you want to get on the ship? He Zizhou asked in surprise.

"Oh no, if you can't get on the ship, that's later." He smiled and looked at his wife, but Yu Leshui's heart sank, and she had already felt her husband's psychological pulse - he was afraid that he wanted to leave the earth. He had experienced a weightless flight on the "Chu's", and in fact he had vaguely planted this idea since then, because in the gravity of the earth, his sick body was too heavy a shackle. "I want to say something else today. Yangyang, you are right about the faster-than-light spacecraft, and I believe it can be realized. But you're only designing your journey in a hundred years, I'm afraid it's too conservative. This is supposed to be an expedition to far space, like Columbus did. He added, "I'm talking about far-space expeditions in 10,000 light-years." ”

He Zizhou looked at Chu Tianle puzzled. Chu Tianle has always been a god in his heart, and he has made everyone sincerely admire with the clarity and wisdom of his thinking, but today he made a big mistake in logic. He Zizhou said euphemistically:

"Brother Tianle, blame me for not making it clear just now. Faster-than-light flight is based on a dense vacuum, and it is a dense vacuum that shrinks beyond a critical value, so the spacecraft cannot pass the wings of the dense vacuum tsunami. That's what I said all the time about 'catching up with the winger' without mentioning going over it. As a result, spacecraft cannot conduct far-space explorations. ”

The other three realized that Yangyang's words were right, and Chu Tianle made a logical mistake, so they all looked at Chu Tianle. Tianle was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "That's why I let the others leave." The following words are just my guesses, so please keep them confidential so as not to cause unnecessary social unrest. ”

Yu Leshui was suddenly shocked, and remembered the guess that Ji Renrui had once had - Chu Tianle's autism may have predicted a greater disaster. She glanced at Ji Renrui, who obviously understood what she meant, and said quietly:

"If you don't say it, we'll keep it a secret. You say. ”

"The important reason we relied on in planning the escape of humanity at that time was that although the cataclysmic area had been observed expanding outward at the speed of light, it was believed that the magnitude of the spatial contraction would diminish rapidly. This is theoretically true, because the intensity of a perturbation in a place is inversely proportional to the square of the radius when it is in an outward wave. If so, the faster-than-light escape ship will soon reach a safe area. In other words, when the excitation on the spacecraft can no longer be maintained and cannot move forward, it proves that the space here is no longer a dense vacuum, it has been out of the collapse area, and it is safe. Right? ”

He Zizhou nodded, "Yes." ”

Chu Tianle was silent for a while, and then said, "But according to the observations over the years, there has not been a significant weakening. The distant starlight blueshift tends to zero, but only because it is just beginning to contract, not because it is farther away from the center of the perturbation. So, I estimate that the cataclysmic region will sweep across the universe with the same intensity. As to why - I don't know. The biggest obstacle of the three-state vacuum theory is that it does not explain the motivation for the contraction of the local universe, and it still does today. ”

Everyone's hearts were shocked. Yu Leshui quickly glanced at Ji Renrui, and signaled with his eyes: You are unfortunately right. The scientific community has had such voices before, but it has not been able to form a mainstream opinion because it is completely contrary to common sense. Now, it was Chu Tianle who first jumped out of the cage of common sense, clearly stated his views, and made this demon of disaster concrete. Chu Tianle smiled and said:

This is not to say that humanity is completely hopeless. No, it's not like that. Although the cataclysmic region spreads at the speed of light, it sweeps across the universe in tens of billions of years. Although our faster-than-light ship cannot pass the cataclysmic front, it can at least synchronize with it, that is, it will always be at the very edge of the critical vacuum. There is a dense vacuum where excitation can take place, and it is in a safe area. Can you imagine such a scenario in your mind? He smiled and asked, "It's like surfing on the beach." The four nodded. Yes, it's "seaside" surfing, surfing on the edge of a dense vacuum. Chu Tianle continued, "Of course, this kind of space surfing is not the same as surfing at the seaside - the coast is not moving, but the edge of the dense vacuum expands at the speed of light, so that we can conduct far-space expeditions at the speed of light, and verify that this winger will not stop somewhere. ”

The four listeners were thrilled and painted a magnificent picture of space in their minds—the vicious waves of cataclysm that have swallowed the Earth, the solar system, and the entire universe at the speed of light, but in tens of billions of years. At the front of the fierce wind and waves, tens of millions of spaceships carry tens of billions of earthlings (the diameter of the spacecraft cannot exceed the wormhole, so each ship can only carry thousands of passengers, which requires 10 million spaceships), digging tens of millions of invisible wormholes in the dense vacuum to keep pace with the wave front of the catastrophic wave. They are happy trendsetters, high and bold. Sometimes they deliberately slow down and venture deep into the stormy waves. When the intensity of the space collapse has endangered safety, they increase the particle excitation frequency, increase the speed of the ship, and calmly retreat. In such a voyage, because there is no relativistic time effect, they still maintain the normal rhythm of life and death, perhaps due to the progress of science to extend their life span to 500 years and 1,000 years, but it is still a limited extension, and they can only be merged into immortal human beings by the replacement of generations. Until 13.7 billion years (perhaps more) have passed, the universe has turned into a total contraction, and will soon end up with a super-black hole. Of course, human beings cannot escape this fate, but they have survived, struggled, and been happy, and they have calmly fallen into a black hole. The better prospect, of course, is that space collapses somewhere and at some time to stop, when the ship will be anchored on the right planet and let the flag of Earth's civilization fly under a new starry sky......

Ji Renrui said: "Tianle, there is no need to keep it secret. With the psychological quality of today's people, they can fully accept such a prospect – and perhaps further motivate them to do things faster. Uncle Ma, Leshui, Yangyang, what do you say? ”

Without waiting for the three of them to express their opinions, Chu Tianle said resolutely: "No, you must keep it secret." ”

He didn't say why, but he was unusually adamant. This abnormality cast a shadow on Yu Leshui's heart again. She couldn't help but look at Ji Renrui. The two have reached a heart-to-heart connection in their long-term cooperation, and Ji Renrui must have the same shadow in his heart at this moment, but he remained silent on the surface, and just said calmly:

"Okay, listen to you, keep it a secret from the people. But the ship is to be built according to what you said, and this should be a new ship with a thousand people. Isn't it? ”

"Yes. This is no longer a test flight, but the maiden voyage of mankind into the faster-than-light era and into far space. Chu Tianle said to He Zizhou, "Alex, you don't have to worry about it, I'll communicate." ”

He Zizhou suppressed the agitation of his heart and nodded vigorously. Right. This is no longer an experiment, an expedition, but the beginning of a new era. He thought for a moment and said:

"Brother Tianle, I have an idea: in the crew of this spaceship, I want to include Chimpanzee Aci and Malu. Unfortunately, the size of the wormhole spacecraft is limited and cannot replicate a complete Earth's biosphere, and plants, animals, and microorganisms can only be carried in the form of sperm, eggs, or cells. But I think there should be at least one or two non-human members on board, because it's not just a human thing, it's an escape from life on Earth. ”

Chu Tianle and his godfather glanced at each other, and nodded at the same time: "Well, your idea is very good, very atmospheric." ”

Yu Leshui hesitated a little, "Only Azi and Maru with you?" Then you can't keep this non-human species alive. Their offspring cannot find a mate, and the mating of direct blood relatives does not produce strong offspring. ”

He Zizhou and Chu Tianle looked at each other and did not answer. And Yu Leshui also realized their idea in an instant - no, they didn't even think about letting the chimpanzees breed alone. After entering the spaceship, after the chimpanzees' intelligence is truly enlightened, they, no, they, are part of the spaceship humans, and their reproduction will also be integrated into the overall sequence of the spaceship people. In the context of rational thinking, this is self-evident. Yu Leshui couldn't help but shake his head secretly. After the intellectual explosion, she was glad that she could enter the world of rational thinking, but now it seems that the tempo of her thinking is still a beat slower than that of her husband and Yangyang.

And their views of "a beat faster" or "a note higher" than her are also accompanied by sharp dangers, such as their calmness about "destroying all the way".

Later, when Yu Leshui combed through her life in "A Hundred Years of Shellfish", she realized that it was here that the differences between her and her husband in terms of worldview began, and although these differences were not very deep, they could not be bridged for the rest of their lives.

Before dinner, the group of people who were visiting the mountains and rivers came back with a small shout. The beauty of the mountains and the few historic sites excite them. While they were chattering in the house, Liu Ye's call to He Zizhou came, and her mother had told her what Ofra had said just now. He Zizhou took the phone and shouted happily:

"Little Liuye, did you finally remember your Yangyang brother? It's too unusual, it's such a big thing to study abroad, and you won't tell me a word in advance......"

Liu Ye cut off his words: "You know the reason, so-Sensei put on a show in front of me." ”

He Zizhou was choked, and Shaoqing replied solemnly: "That's right, I know the reason, I don't blame you." Willow leaves, I think you have become more and more mature. It's really a woman's farewell for three days, and you should be impressed. ”

"A woman who is tormented by both disappointment and hope matures very quickly. Thank you very much to my mom for informing me about the situation just now, it seems that I still have hope, isn't it, Mr. He Zizhou? ”

He Zizhou completely put away his smile, thought about it, and replied seriously: "Yes, but the premise is that you are willing to become a crew member of the spaceship, and the Noah's Convention is only applicable on the spaceship." Would you like to? ”

"I do. I am willing to follow my beloved through the universe, even if it is because of that hateful Noah's covenant that I will not share a husband with two other women. ”

"Liu Ye, I can't promise you anything, it's very strict about the selection of the crew......"

"It's okay, I'm going to work 100 times harder to get this qualification. There is only one question: I am a scholar of literature, majoring in three histories, the history of literature, the history of philosophy, and the history of religion. Does this hinder becoming a crew member? ”

"No, there is no way. The ship society needs all kinds of talents, including a profession like yours, perhaps," he resumed his smile, "and we need you to play the chaplain when we lose our minds on our long voyages." ”

Liu Ye said calmly: "Maybe, but I have to learn to be my husband's spiritual pastor before I play the role of a military priest." Is Ofrah on the side? Please give her the phone. ”

He Zizhou handed the phone to Ofra beside him. He shook his head secretly, Liu Ye, who had only been separated for a year, had indeed changed a lot, far from being the innocent and naïve little Liu Ye, at least she had reached the same height as herself psychologically. Willow talked to Ofhra for a long time, not knowing what they were talking about, but Ofrah just smiled quietly and answered briefly, sometimes supplemented by a nod. In closing, Ofra said:

"Okay, I wish you a speedy finish. I'll sign you up in advance. Good bye. Zizhou, Liu Ye still has something to say. ”

He Zizhou took the phone, and the tone in it changed significantly, and cheerfulness replaced calmness, "Brother Yangyang, when the business is over, let's have some tidbits." Do you know where I am at this moment? You wouldn't guess it - it's in that strange hollow ball at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States! I came here during the holidays to relive the shock. ”

"Did you play that super slide?"

"I've already played it, and now I'm on an observation deck inside the ball, which has been developed into a tourist attraction."

"Really? It's a shame I'm not there, and I'd love to see it again. ”

"I was well worth it. In addition to reliving the shock of that year, I also happened to meet a beautiful blonde girl, we met from afar at that time, and she was by my side at this time. Just now Obhra said that Brother Changchang was also there, let him answer the phone! ”

Ji Jichang took the phone, "Xiao Liuye, I'm your brother Changchang...... Hey, not willow leaves? ”

There was a change of person on the phone, speaking English. They said, "I'm Emma." A year and a half ago, I stumbled upon a scene here: in this huge hollow ball, a big boy jumped off a helicopter, made a brave air dive, and swung up and down in the hollow ball dozens of meters high, only to jump back to the ground from the gap half an hour later. Wow, that scene was so cool! That boy's movements are too dashing! I happened to meet Sister Liu Ye today, and I realized that the boy was you, Ji Jichang, nicknamed Changchang, right? ”

Ji Jichang said with a smile: "That's right, it's a contemptible person." But let's not talk about the name, it's called a nickname. ”

"It's just that the performance was a bit of a pity, and in the end you fell from the air to the ground and fell into a sturdy ass squat, isn't that so?"

"That's true. That is equivalent to a gymnast's unstable play, and at most 0.5 points will be deducted. ”

He laughed, "Yes, this little flaw doesn't affect my perfection." Changchang, now that I know your name today, I won't let go of this opportunity again, I'll go to the 'Friends of Music' immediately, and I must catch you!" By the way, my major is high-energy physics. ”

Ji Jichang lowered his voice (didn't want his mother to hear it), and said with a smile: "Then you can come, you are very welcome." However, whether you can catch me, or whether I have to catch you in turn, is a matter for later. ”

"Okay, that's it!"

Ji Jichang hung up the phone, faced his mother's expectant eyes, and said matter-of-factly: "An eighty-year-old high-energy physics expert in the United States wants to apply for a job at the Friends of Joy Academy of Sciences. ”

Miao Qi knew that his son's spleen was not telling the truth, so he smiled and didn't ask.
