Volume 2 The Crossing of the Sea Chapter 14 The First Sight of the Old Man
The 2-hour taxi boat service is equivalent to the 2-hour parcel sorting service, and the entire Blue Domain home planet is a large machine that runs smoothly, and everyone is embedded in the whole as a part, and is unified and linked by a large network called "equivalent labor hours", and everyone's labor is recorded in the big net by the supercomputer, whether you are in the home planet or the drifting interstellar.
Hanes searched for three days, and the labor he could provide was limited to: general handling labor, parcel sorting and processing, urban garbage classification and other work. Hanes still chose to sort the parcels, and insisted on 10 hours of non-trivial work, which was just enough to send away all the thought vines. In the process of parcel classification, I gradually figured out the reason for each thing with the sorting.
Back in his room, exhausted, he was no longer afraid of the dark: would he just do it all his life? Hanes turned off the light.
A few knocks on the door disturbed Hanis's rare dream, and he put on his pajamas while ordering the robot to open the door.
"Hello, Hanes, remember me?"
Thirty years of life in Gaia made Hanes think that she had forgotten all the past. But when the face of the visitor came into view again, all the memories were like a flood that had accumulated for a long time, and all stubborn resistance was washed away in a momentβa person who thought he had forgotten reappeared, disturbing his dull life.
"Great scientists, university scholars, don't remember me? I'm Arya, your college classmate. β
Hanes embarrassedly tightened his pajamas that he hadn't put on yet, and his face was already blushing before he could speak: "No, I haven't forgotten, how did you find here?"
"Otherwise, I really didn't know you had gone through so much. I'm doing research at the Eco Council now. Arya interprets Hanis's performance as the embarrassment of being in the same room as a man and woman.
"Which direction to study?" Hanis intends to bring the topic to the professional field as soon as possible to avoid the embarrassment of having nothing to say.
"Ecological restoration, the whole galaxy is studying this! You may not know it yet, but now all the ecologists on your home planet worship you as a grandmaster. The level of admiration is no less than our envy of you when you were selected to go to Gaia as a young genius. β
Hanes will be skeptical, but he doesn't know what to say.
"By the way, what are you going to do in the future? How did I hear that you are sorting packages right now. β
"Well, sorting packages, that's good!"
Hanes' heartfelt speech caused Arya to laugh: "When did you learn to joke?" How do I remember when I went to school, someone shouted into the empty classroom: "There's a donkey inside?" Only you believe it, the first one rushed in to check, and came out to tell everyone seriously that the person was lying! β
Of course, Hanes remembers this story, which was his biggest trouble, and in front of so many classmates, he was given the title of Geng Donkey. He still remembered how happy Arya was smiling at that time, just like the smile just now, how many times she appeared in the dreams of her youth.
"I'm not kidding you, I couldn't sleep for the other day, and since I did sorting packages, my sleep quality has improved."
Arya laughed heartily again, her small nose slightly raised, sucking between her eyebrows and lips, reflecting the dimness of the corridor lamp, setting off a dreamlike blur, "It's so interesting to talk to you, you're all on the bar for a joke." But seriously, I'm worried about you, and I rushed over as soon as I heard from you. β
"Thank you." Hanes never dared to overestimate his weight in the hearts of others, especially the one in front of him. Hearing this, he was more surprised than moved, but he still didn't know what to say, and his face had changed from blush to flush.
Arya interpreted this change as moving, and then continued to care: "If you can't get over psychologically, see a psychiatrist as soon as possible, don't carry it alone." I'm here because I've heard that you're sorting packages, and that the restoration of the home planet is in dire need of someone like you, and while it's unlikely that the FΓΌhrer will give you a position, I think we can work together in terms of pure research. So, can I invite you to my lab, I provide the experimental conditions, and you provide the theoretical support? β
Hanes never expected that there would be such a day, back then, because of a back of this person, he had been haunted by his dreams for 20 years, and he had not married in the past few years, and he had the feeling that he had passed all the sails, except that Wushan was not a cloud. It was the fear of gain and loss that made him resolutely participate in the selection of Gaia talents and escape from this place of lost soul.
"What does it mean to work together? If she is still single, what qualifications does she have to pursue? If you are not single, will this back in your dream be shattered again and again? In the flash of light, Hanes has expressed his feelings of gain and loss to the extreme. His flushed face began to cloud.
Arya interprets him as a struggle with the future.
Suddenly, there was a lot of sand and dust outside, and the whirring wind pierced into the room through the nano ventilation glass, mixed with a pungent sour smell, which made the two of them nauseous. The robot automatically takes over the control of the whole house, adjusts the tightness of the nano glass windows, turns on the power of the air purifier to the maximum, and automatically adjusts the light and darkness of the room. Finally walk up to Hanis: please choose if you want a perfume or a type.
Hanes hesitated for a moment, ordered a rose perfume, and almost at the same time, the budding scent wafted into the room, which caused Arya to sneer again, and this time she didn't know how to interpret the word "Geng Donkey" came to mind.
A crackling sound banged on the roof. Arya commands the robot to adjust the transparency of the room. Hanes looked up and looked outside through the transparent faΓ§ade of the building. The egg-sized hailstone burst open as it hit the outer wall of the building, shining with a dark green sheen, and when the outer wall of the building was almost covered, the entire outer wall began to vibrate at a high frequency, allowing all the crushed ice to slide down the rounded outer wall.
"Highly toxic, corrosive, radiant, not to mention extreme areas, even outdoors in the center of the province, there are no living conditions for any animals. In order to reduce interference in the natural world, the Allies had been persuaded to abandon weather control, and such hail came without warning, and people had become accustomed to staying indoors. β
"To step up the purification of rivers, lakes and seas, how can algae transplantation work lag so behind."
"Want to know why? Come to my lab. Here's my address and how to communicate, contact me when you figure it out. I'm leaving, there's a lot of data to analyze after this hailstorm. β
Arya hurriedly drove again, leaving Hanis alone, and couldn't sleep: working with the goddess, I couldn't think of it, but today the opportunity came. Is it about a dream come true, or is it about shattering a dream? Do you have the capital to pursue her? Even if you are lucky enough to pursue it, can you ensure that the relationship between two people is maintained? In the end, you still have to lose, in this case, it is better not to have it. Or is she married to someone else, so she simply shattered her dreams. But he didn't dare to face that reality, after all, it is much more fulfilling to have dreams than to have broken dreams.
That's it: he was afraid of getting it, and he was afraid of losing, which made him toss and turn and couldn't sleep all night. When he got up to wash, he suddenly found that there was a dark shadow in the room, which frightened him into tightening the quilt, covering his chest and screaming.
"Don't be nervous. Own. The black shadow spoke, making Hanes realize his gaffe: "I am Li Kangde, the Governor of Allied Intelligence, and your life was saved by me and Dewey, so I won't harm you." β
Hearing him say this, Hanes was furious: "Do you know how much war it will cause if you hand over those star maps to the allies, and the entire New Testament will be destroyed by you. β
"Don't be nervous, Dewey and I always thought that your life was worth more than those Death Star charts. What's more, Dewey hijacked the whole of Gaia, and the Allies wanted to go to war, so they had to ask him if he agreed. β
"You are divisive, betrayal. This Dewey can be calmed, who dares to guarantee that there will not be another Huo Qimeng in Gaia. β
Hanes's answer left Lee Kant speechless, and he and Dewey had only planned the direction of history in the last few decades, but it was far from the time needed for the victory of the New Testament in the century. I can't help but feel that this young man in front of him is not saved in vain.
"It seems that the work of sorting packages has not been done in vain in the past few days, and I have figured out so many things in such a short time."
Hanes snorted, disapproving.
"Listen to me, I now have serious doubts that the discovery of Gaia, and the discovery of the antimatter planet, can be directed by someone, but it is conceivable that both developments have pushed the two civilizations to the brink of war and destruction, and have forced General Hyde back. I need you to help the Intelligence Department investigate our real enemy. β
"I'm a biologist, not an intelligence scientist, so how can I be so helpful." Hanes didn't give Li Kangde any kindness, obviously not wanting to be grateful for their life-saving grace, but instead resented the matter of them handing over the star map.
"You have to. You're studying the Carmon race, and you've already mentioned that bugs and orcs aren't the same species, and this Dewey has been argued. But have you ever considered that the Bugmen are our real enemies? β
"Isn't that obvious? Or else? β
"Let me give you some information, the Pioneer ship that discovered the antimatter planet was killed by the Carmon people in the black box, and I checked the faster-than-light detector in the galaxy around the antimatter planet, and there is no Carmon starship in this direction. All the Carmon starships were driven to that side after the Pioneer was wrecked. β
Hearing this, a powerful sense of fear welled up in Hanis's heart.
"What's even more terrifying is that I've secretly visited many Gaia ships, and what I know is that they are convinced that the antimatter planet was discovered by their pioneers themselves, and that we are the predators. Thinking about the development of Gaia, the two civilizations met unexpectedly at a calculated and accurate time node, don't you think it's too coincidental? β
Hanes was speechless.
"I have revealed certain information to Hyde before before he will make the decision to transport the antimatter planet to Gaia, otherwise I believe that according to the old general's plan, Dewey would have become a martyr by now."
"So, what does this have to do with my research on biology?"
"Yes, it's a huge deal! There is a legend that Cammon said that they were descendants of the creator god. At first we took it as a joke. Now I believe it a little, because their legend records that the creator god led the light of the heavens to destroy the devil in the battle with the devil, and the gods were on the verge of extinction. Does this mean that Carmon itself is an interstellar immigrant, and that they used to be a higher civilization a long time ago, and that great war caused them to lose their vitality and create today's Carmon? β
"You're asking me to study the history of Carmon?"
"Not exactly! I'm asking you to study the evolutionary history of the Carmon race, I seriously doubt it. The current god-king, the giant wormman, is not the most primitive Kamon, and even like those orcs, it is the result of parasitism. Are the real Kamon people devastated by the civil war and hiding in some corner to manipulate it all? β
"It's really logical and necessary. What can I do? β
"Get up and follow me now, my identity and the profession you are about to engage in determine that I can't save you directly, only in this way, from now on, there will be no Hanes in the world!"
"Can I leave a note or send a message?"
"Do you think it's possible? Recruit!. β
