January 1, 2040, Galaxy Capital, Life Science Laboratory.

Hua Kejing waved to his wife He Xiaomin, daughter Hua Leyan, as well as Li Chenjing, Lu Jieshi, Mao Xianyu and other relatives and friends.

Then he lay down in a white metal cabin.

This is the hibernation cabin jointly developed with Yang Weilin, director of the Chinese Academy of Biological Sciences, of course, the source of the technology comes from the senior life science department of the 9-level [Science Research Institute] under Huake Microscope that was upgraded last year.

"Are you ready?"

Yang Weilin, who was standing next to the sleeping cabin, asked with a cautious expression.

"That's it."

Hua Kejing nodded and looked at his wife again.

He Xiaomin was still confused and dazed.

Until this moment, she is still immersed in the story of "Paper Short Love" and cannot connect with reality.

So, Hua Kejing sat up from the sleeping cabin again, he walked to He Xiaomin's side, took his wife's hand and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work, take care of your daughter." ”

"I ......"

He Xiaomin opened her small mouth, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Although Mr. Hua, who is in his early forties, is her husband, she is not familiar with it.

Although He Xiaomin has read the story recorded in "Paper Short Love",

Although she was also deeply moved by the story inside,

Although she has completed the psychological construction and is able to accept her husband,

Although her heart told herself that she loved the man in front of her,

But the human heart is always delicate, and it takes time for the sense of distance to be established and eliminated, no matter how long or short.

In the recent story of "Paper Short Love", He Xiaomin recorded an incident that made her very sad.

Mr. Hua, who was in the prime of life, was suddenly diagnosed with primary brain cancer.

Mr. Hua is obviously so kind, so hard-working, and so good!

How can you get brain cancer in a good way?

That's worse and more terrible than your own disease!

Doctors have said that because the brain is one of the most important organs of human beings, and the complexity of brain tissue is higher than that of any other part, no matter whether the tumor in the brain is benign or malignant, once it compresses any part, it will cause damage to different functions of the human body.

In order to suppress, or rather precisely, suspend the growth of intracranial tumors, Mr. Hua decided to follow the advice of the medical team and go into hibernation after careful consideration.

This is certainly not an evasion.

Because of the rapid development of medical technology in recent years, and the fact that Mr. Hua has a top-notch medical team, they are confident that they will come up with a safe and reliable treatment plan in the next five to ten years.

So, from now on, every day He Xiaomin wakes up and learns that her husband is facing a test of life and death.

And unlike others, what will it be like to reproduce the same worries day after day?

She couldn't imagine it, but she had to face such a situation.

"Okay, don't worry too much, everything will be fine." Mr. Hua's hand clenched tighter, and he smiled and comforted He Xiaomin, "That's okay, I'm ten years older than you, and when I wake up, the age gap between us will also narrow." ”

"Don't say that......"

Although He Xiaomin has an optimistic personality, he was said by Mr. Hua to be more and more sentimental.

No way

Some things can't be let go, and some emotions can't be relieved.

……

Hua Kejing hugged his 14-year-old daughter again.

Because she grew up in a special family, watching her father's busyness since she was a child, and her mother's twilight dynasty, Hua Leyan has always been independent and self-contained.

Coupled with the fact that she is at a rebellious age, she is not so close to her father Hua Kejing, at least not like the father and daughter of an ordinary family.

But after all, blood is thicker than water,

Father-daughter affection is a special kind of love, and most of the time, even if it is not spoken or revealed, it can always permeate every bit of life.

At this time, Lu Jieshi also walked to He Xiaomin's side, and took her hand and said to Hua Kejing: "Don't worry, I will accompany their mother and daughter." ”

Hua Kejing nodded in gratitude.

Li Chenjing also walked over, and he patted Hua Kejing's shoulder: "You are just too tired, you use your brain too much, it's all done, take a good rest for a while." ”

Hua Kejing nodded, he still remembered Li Chenjing's reaction when he told everyone about his decision to hibernate.

Lao Li looked suspicious and asked straight to get a claw.

It's not enough to devote yourself to scientific research, and you can be a guinea pig yourself?

Otherwise, it is a common disease of the elite class since ancient times, and they want to engage in immortality?

Hearing this, Hua Kejing just smiled, pointed to his brain, and said that there was something in it.

This is true, how many years have passed, Hua Kejing really has something in his head.

……

In the end, Mao Xianyu also smiled and said to Hua Kejing: "Rest assured, when you wake up, the Wood Guard Base will almost be completed." ”

Hua Kejing nodded, turned around and walked back to the white metal cabin.

Then he waved his hand to the group of friends and family, and then lay inside, closing his eyes and watching the translucent hatch slowly close.

……

Somewhere in the Milky Way, the 110,000th Earth year of the Forsaken spacecraft leaving the solar system.

The three-month adjustment period after the eleventh hibernation cycle is coming to an end, and this is the last day that Wacoscope is about to enter the long dormancy period again.

As is customary, Hua Kejing first inspected the spacecraft and then went to the sleeping chamber.

Airplanes...... Airplanes...... Airplanes......

Press the palm of your hand on the unlocking area and the hatch cover slowly opens.

After some set-up, Hua Kejing lay down inside the sleeping pod.

Xiaole said to him: "See you in 10,000 years, have a good dream." ”

Hua Kejing was silent for a moment: "Where did the good dreams come from, I always recall some unpleasant things recently." ”

Xiaole was also silent for a moment: "Do you regret it?" ”

"Even if the chance is slim, I have to fight for it, otherwise what's the point of me surviving?"

Hua Kejing sighed lightly and did not answer positively.

"In fact, the Forsaken spacecraft also holds a glimmer of hope for the continuation of human civilization."

Hua Kejing was stunned: "You really made a small move behind my back again." ”

"It's my job, and I have to face it up."

"Okay." Hua Kejing suddenly remembered something, and pointed to his brain, "In fact, I have never asked you ......"

"I did it."

Without waiting for Hua Kejing to say the question, Xiaole had already given the answer.

She knew what he was going to ask.

"Sure enough."

Hua Kejing thought for a moment, and then slowly closed his eyes.

So, in the misty sleep aid gas, Hua Kejing once again began a long sleep.

As a result, the lighting, temperature control, air convection and other systems of the Forsaken spacecraft were turned off again, and it became gray and cold, like a lonely meteorite.

.

The second volume of "The City of Stars" ends.

……

To put it simply.

First of all, because I personally don't like flat and direct narration, the second volume of "The City of Stars" is written in the style of interludes and flashbacks.

Secondly, because of objective reasons, the pace of the article has accelerated a lot, and the timeline has jumped a little.

Finally, I would like to thank my friends who have supported me all the way.

Because of busy work, the speed of the update will be affected, if the comrades who are in a hurry can put it aside and watch it together when it's over.

Of course, if you can support it, you can support it, and the results will be fine.

In addition, the third volume "A Thousand Sails Passed Through".
