Senior Brother Zhao blinked: "A hundred years ago, Mr. Qi Yuanshan had already calculated the appearance of the Earth Age, and the rest of the conclusions were the ...... he gave."

"It's a pity that he didn't give a stronger conclusion."

"The historiography of the new civilization has not yet laid a real theoretical foundation, and we need more geniuses to participate in it, as well as more accurate historical samples...... The Deep Space Foundation on Earth is tasked with such a mission. ”

The doubts in Zhang Yuan's heart became even greater.

It's unbelievable that someone wants to predict the future!

Seeing his expression, Senior Brother Zhao smiled and said nothing.

After being silent for a long time, he said again: "Do you know what kind of civilization the earth civilization is in the calculation? ”

"What civilization?"

"Mediocre civilization."

Is Earth civilization mediocre?

Zhang Yuan doesn't think so, at least for now, it's still thriving.

In the end, Zhao Qingfeng threw out another sentence: "Don't disbelieve it, pessimistic scientists actually account for a huge majority." ”

"Senior Brother Zhao, do you also have pessimistic expectations?"

"Yes...... Zhao Qingfeng said again: "Your father used to be a member of the Council of Science and made great contributions to this discipline. It's a pity that he didn't see today, our departure ......"

"If you want to know about this calculation, you can visit Professor Lin Fangzheng of the Science Council. I think he'll be very welcoming to you......"

aroused Zhang Yuan's strong curiosity, Senior Brother Zhao refused to say anything more, and he hated it.

This guy definitely did it on purpose!

In the next few days, it was boring to be idle anyway, and Zhang Yuan applied to Academician Ding for more work projects, including the mathematical foundation design of the new civilization industry.

Before hibernation, you can do as much as you can, and there are no special rules.

It's always a good thing to keep yourself busy, and you don't have to think about it.

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help his strong curiosity and went to visit Professor Lin Fangzheng, the president of the Science Council.

This is a middle-aged man who looks very kind, with a scholarly demeanor, a bit similar to Professor Wang Zhong's temperament, but even more kind.

"You're already level 16, aren't you?"

"Yes, I just got it." Zhang Yuan nodded, he had done a good job recently, and his ability was enough, so that his work level soared like a rocket.

Usually a graduate student, there are only 10 level positions.

"Very nice! I read that turbulence paper of yours...... By the way, do you know anything about the motivational theory of dreams? ”

"Motivation theory? I once read Professor Wang Zhong's paper. ”

The two chatted casually, and Zhang Yuan gradually relaxed. This kind of scholars are very easy to discuss, as long as you have real talent and real learning, the two sides are equivalent to standing on the same starting line, and there is no particularly big difference between high and low.

Professor Lin Fangzheng nodded and said, "...... My research direction is mainly the historiography of new civilizations, which has a lot to do with the theory of motivation. The subject is too complex, and more geniuses are urgently needed to perfect it. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "In the future, I can try to learn. Anyway, after waking up from hibernation, there is a lot of time. ”

Lin Fangzheng: "That's good, I'll send some information to your mailbox." If you are interested, you can check it out...... If you have any good ideas, you can also try to write some relevant papers and send them to me. ”

"The history of the earth's civilization will bring a qualitative change to this discipline, and we must seize this opportunity."

Zhang Yuan felt a little funny inexplicably, a political discipline disguised as mathematics sounded less disgusting. Even the rulers of the earth even support this discipline, and they don't understand why these experts have such great ability.

After saying goodbye to Professor Lin, Zhang Yuan returned to his bedroom and sighed slightly.

He read about this famous, yet somewhat mysterious, subject with a little trepidation......

A day later.

His face turned red for a while, and he put down the information for a while, as if he had been persuaded in his heart.

Just a few scratches of the surface, he felt that his knowledge was a little insufficient.

This discipline seems to come from the mysterious chaos. It's hard to imagine the amazing talent of the creators of this discipline.

When he was reading, the exquisite structure made him even want to shoot the case!

However, unfortunately, this discipline has given birth to an ultimate prophecy: the civilization of the earth is nothing more than a mediocre civilization.

……

Over the next ten months, Zhang Yuan gave full play to his workaholic nature and became extremely busy. He has published several papers, one on the use of Ricci curvature flow in industrial design, and the other on topological obstacle theory, all of which have received good responses.

However, because the total population is relatively small, it always feels unsatisfactory.

The whole living environment is changing drastically, and people are going into hibernation every day.

The thought of saying goodbye to this era soon, no matter what you do, it seems that you have lost its original meaning.

It's a strange feeling.

Perhaps, human beings themselves are social animals, and if only one person lives in the world, even if they are immortal, it will not have much meaning.

On this day, it was finally Zhang Yuan's turn to hibernate the batch.

"Here, a toast!"

After making the last work summary, Academician Ding and Senior Brother Zhao were bidding him farewell. Other good friends, Li Zhendong and Ye Kaifu, have already hibernated, and Zhang Yuan sent them away.

While!

Zhang Yuan just touched the cup with his lips and drank a little boiled water inside.

In order to prepare for hibernation, he has not eaten for two days, but has been injected with a little glucose regularly to maintain his body functions. The stomach was empty, but under the effect of the drug, there was no hunger.

"Say goodbye to your friends on Earth?"

"Goodbye."

Zhang Yuan couldn't say anything superfluous. He has already sent videos one by one with his friends on Earth and has received many blessings.

Probably because of the injection of hibernation potion, Zhang Yuan felt that his head was groggy and there was a slight dullness.

This sluggishness also masks a series of frustrations and losses that precede hibernation.

"Go ahead, in a little while, we'll be hibernating, too." Academician Ding shook his head and sighed in a low voice, "This era will eventually pass. Don't be too sad, we have to be mentally prepared for this......"

Soon, Zhang Yuan came to the hibernation check-in office.

A middle-aged man asked in a low voice, "Do you still have any regrets left behind?" ”

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and finally said, "No." ”

"Your property?"

"It's been arranged."

He then signed his name on the agreement.

With the support of the two nurses, Zhang Yuan lay quietly into a rectangular hibernation device. Then, the nurses injected a certain amount of medicine into Zhang Yuan's body again.

Figuratively speaking, these hibernation chambers are like drawers, embedded in a large cooling device.

Everyone has less than two cubic meters of space, and just that little space has to sleep in it for hundreds of years.

A lethargic heaviness hit my mind.

Although the nerves have been completely paralyzed, the painful feeling of giving up still can't be stopped.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart.

"Don't worry, the failure rate of hibernation chambers is less than one in a million."

"If there are no special circumstances, you will hibernate for 183 years, and then you will regain consciousness and work for about two years......"

183, it's a long time, it's really a long time.

In the nurse's gentle voice, Zhang Yuan's eyes slowly dimmed.

"In three months, I'm going to hibernate too."

"Hey, yes......"

These were the last two words I heard in the haze.

Immediately after, the hibernation chamber closed, and the ultra-low temperature liquid flooded him, freezing his life.

The world was plunged into darkness, like a series of hallucinations that had arisen in a moment of near death.

Memories of everything in my life float through my mind, kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, university...... Countless wonderful memories. The conversation with my father, the memo on Earth, and the stories that happened on the ship......

Goodbye, this era.

Time at this moment, from a slow snail, to a wild horse.

From birth to death, from failure to success, love and joy, pursuit and struggle, excitement and frustration, everything, everything, all is condensed into a lonely and meaningless singularity......

Some stories happen.

Some stories are over......

A lot of stories happen.

A lot of the stories are over......

10 years......

20 years ......

30 years......

100 years......

183 years!
