In the blink of an eye, Wang Haifeng has participated in the 196th year of work.

The days seemed to be the same as before, nothing had changed, but it seemed to have changed a lot.

With the rapid aging of the population, people's work pressure is increasing. In order to achieve the work goals, the retirement age of the elderly has had to be extended for several years.

This policy has caused people to complain, even a little overtime is counted, even the retirement time has to be extended, it is really unbearable, after a lifetime of hard work, who doesn't want to retire early?

And on this very day, the two planets once again approached perigee in elliptical orbits. This is the closest time to a neutron star, and the gravitational slingshot effect will be used again to accelerate the planet itself.

In the midst of the raging gravitational sea, all surface workers were evacuated from the planet for safety.

The two motherships were crowded with a population of more than 65 million, which seemed quite crowded.

Wang Haifeng was assigned a single room of 14 square meters, but he refused the arrangement of his superiors and chose to live with his family......

It was the first time that so many people were crowded into the spaceship, and the commercial plaza was crowded with people, and all kinds of discussions and greetings between acquaintances were intertwined, evolving into the current new human civilization.

Wang Haifeng usually lives in a small town near the construction site, returns to the spaceship about once every ten years, and is accustomed to a light life.

Listening to all kinds of noisy sounds and enjoying exquisite food, he suddenly felt that this kind of excitement was actually quite good.

"Some people like life in the big city, some people like life in the country. However, most people still like lively cities. ”

Wang Haifeng saw a very well-dressed old gentleman, who was drinking in the corner restaurant, his former leader, a man who was not very good-tempered, but very knowledgeable.

Wang Haifeng hurriedly went over and said hello, "Lao Li!" ”

"Lao Wang!"

Then they chatted with each other.

The man's eyes glanced at Wang Haifeng, then looked at the big screen in the restaurant, and sighed: "...... Sometimes I wonder if this planetary fortress is suddenly swallowed up by a neutron star, or if something else fails, can we do it all the same? ”

Wang Haifeng laughed: "Of course! If this war star is really swallowed, or torn apart, the Tothians will not be able to blame us, and the government will have to give up. ”

"In our current state, everyone is patient."

The man shook his head: "Yes, I want to think about it, but I am reluctant, after it is swallowed, do we still have the courage to develop a second battle star?" No more! We have lost that courage...... All our hopes are on this one and only star! ”

"Nine to ten hours a day, it's been 200 years! The future has to go on until you can't open your eyes! Even people in the 21st century only work eight hours! ”

"But...... If you don't work, you have to watch the planet collide, is this a big step backwards? ”

"Regression?" Wang Haifeng said: "In fact, there is no regression, we eat well and dress well, what kind of regression is this?" There are times in history when you can't eat enough even if you work hard. ”

"It's just that I haven't made progress for too long, and I've become a little tired."

The captain in the central square was making a speech that seemed to encourage the crowd: "...... We must report hope, and this is not the hope of our generation, but the previous generation, the previous generation, the next generation, the next generation. It's just that we are very lucky, but we are unlucky to be mixed in the middle, and we have to fight for this for the rest of our lives. ”

But such a struggle is not meaningless! It exercises our spiritual will...... Because our real world is just the starting point of life, we will also face the future of life in the virtual world......"

"This kind of exercise can make us face all kinds of temptations calmly, and the probability of passing the transcendent assessment will become greater......"

"Fuck the temptation, you know to talk empty all day long!" Mr. Li seemed to be a little drunk, and spat out some curse words.

Whether the captain is telling the truth or not, no one cares.

Criticism of the government has become a new fad.

Some are pensive, others are drunk and babbling gibberish.

A small number of people are still ambitious and looking forward to the future, but most have slowly lost their patience.

Wang Haifeng was silent, not knowing how to describe this feeling. Some people can be at peace with what happens, just like himself, and feel that this kind of life can still make a living, what kind of work is not work?

But there are also those who find the current life unbearable.

The era seems to be dividing more and more, and a small group of people in the distance are cheering, celebrating the completion of the second phase of the great project. However, there is a third phase of the long project ahead, which will last at least four hundred years.

Some people hid in the corner and cursed quietly, scolding the government's original choice, and scolding the Captain Collei at that time for choosing the No. 17 plan.

Why is the entire project so tight!

They are scolding the bad times in which they were born, and they have become a generation that has been sacrificed.

But no matter what, people have to work so hard to suppress their emotions that they have no other choice......

This is the times!

Suddenly, all the voices of the discussion were gone, and people seemed to have noticed something, and Zisensen looked at the big screen in front of him.

On the planet filled with ionic flames, the planetary engine let out the most violent roar, like a tractor spewing black gas when it was pulled by the abyss!

At this time, the propulsion of the planetary engine compared with the gravitational force of the neutron star, like the gap between the firefly and the bright moon, has almost no effect, but the intelligent computer still issued the most accurate instructions according to the equation set at the beginning.

The only thing that can play a role is the huge amount of inertia accumulated by the planet over thousands of years, and the precise calculation.

The earth was trembling, the planets were roaring, and the big ice ball behind it swept quickly past perihelion.

There was a scream from the crowd!

Some drunken men raised their heads, emotionally mixed and didn't know what they were thinking.

The distance between the large ice ball in the rear and the entire planetary fortress in front of it was quickly reduced to only 20,000 kilometers under the action of the gravitational slingshot.

This distance is too close, and the two planets are about to collide due to the gravitational attraction of each other!

At this moment, suddenly, a trillion-ton mass of rock and earth was ejected from above the planetary fortress.

It should not be possible to use the word "ejection", but to be sucked alive by the huge gravitational pull of the neutron star.

It took tens of thousands of workers a hundred years to cut this long piece of rock and soil, which was larger than a mountain.

When the rock and soil block fell out of the planet, the planetary fortress seemed to change direction slightly, and the distance from the ice ball behind it increased again.

This was followed by the second, third, and fourth......

These ejected blocks of rock and soil will become wandering meteorites, and their orbits are slightly lower, changing the momentum of the entire planet.

They will orbit the two neutron stars for a long, long time. Eventually, however, these meteorites will fall on the neutron star and become part of the neutron star after a super-powerful explosion.

In total, 16 blocks of rock and soil were sucked out by the huge gravitational pull of the neutron star.

Another piece smashed into the big ice hockey ball behind it, causing a huge impact. The big ice hockey ball was smashed into a crater, setting off a huge amount of ice chips.

After this time, the planetary fortress slightly deflected its direction of motion, passing by the large ice ball behind it, and then the two sides completely diverged.

After hundreds of years of chasing each other, the two planets eventually went their separate ways and never met again.

Just like the emotional world of many people, there are very few people who can be together forever, and they will eventually part.

The whole thrilling process took about 15 days. Every morning when he gets up, Wang Haifeng will see a large number of people discussing in the central square whether the error of the whole process is within the tolerance range.

Others are sighing, seeing that the whole plan is almost successful, and the planetary fortress is not swallowed by the neutron star, it has managed to survive.
