Chapter 31: The Space Force
Looking at the stars in the distance, Rick suddenly felt less terrible, there was no earth under his feet, no sky when he looked up, and an endless vacuum universe around him, it was he who was too small, and Rick didn't feel so terrible, survival or destruction, this is the same question in itself. On the scale of the universe, the insignificance of the individual is negligible, the timeline itself is a wordless killer, life and death are on this long timeline, the concept of life and death is just the distance of a coordinate axis, thinking of this, Rick is more relaxed and natural, Rick tries his best to enjoy the feeling of weightlessness in a vacuum.
While he was having fun, Rick's VR glasses were taken off by a woman in a white lab coat, "Congratulations, you passed the second round of interviews, you can go back, and you will be notified of the start time of the third interview." ”
It turned out to be passed so easily, and the psychological test turned out to be a personal understanding of life and death in a vacuum environment. If you're afraid of dying, then your heart rate and blood pressure will spike, and if it doesn't feel like it's important, then the indicator is under normal circumstances, which is actually a matter of guts. Rick has already been through a plane crash, and what could be more challenging than a crash?
Seeing Rick come out, Sam hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How's it going?" ”
"I passed, and they made me wait for the third round of interviews to begin."
"Wouldn't it be so soon? I've heard that a lot of people are eliminated in the second round because they are so nervous, and some people pass the second round of interviews and then give up and don't go to the third round of interviews, and you pass so quickly? ”
"yes, the second round of testing is just abandoning a person in space, and all you see is stars, and there is nothing but stars, does that make it difficult for you to stay calm?"
"I'll go, if I'm in that environment, I'm going to die of depression, I'm claustrophobic, and likewise, I can't bear that kind of environment that's too vast."
The whole world is forming a space force, and the Celestial Empire is no exception, in the past few days, accompanied by Bao Yuqian, Quan Tianyun has recovered quickly, in fact, Quan Tianyun has not been injured, but his body is relatively weak.
Today is the day of discharge, and Chen Chen has fully accepted his daughter-in-law in the past few days. Chen Chen personally drove Quan Tianyun to be discharged from the hospital. The countdown Bao Yuqian was more shy, and she just fell in love, so she met her parents directly. Especially, on the third night, when Quan Tianyun was sleeping with Bao Yuqian in his arms, Chen Chen came to see Quan Tianyun after work, and suddenly discovered Bao Yuqian's existence, which made the three of them quite embarrassed. To be honest, now Quan Tianyun and Bao Yuqian's development is already very fast, and it was only a few hours between confirming the relationship and sleeping together. But so far, the two have only been limited to holding hands and sleeping in their arms, and they haven't even played until now. It's an amazing thing. The subtlety of this relationship is incomprehensible to the parties themselves.
"Tilting clouds, are you going to join the Space Force?" Chen Chen asked while driving the car.
"I" Kwon hesitated, "I want to participate." ”
"Now, the country has begun to form a space force, and the new arms may recruit a million people, which has a great chance of entering. What about you, little girl? Chen Chen asked Bao Yuqian.
"Ah, me!" Bao Yuqian didn't expect Chen Chen to suddenly ask herself, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Haha, girls are generally not very interested in space, the Space Force is the same as the army, not all of them are wars, there are many classifications, you can be a flight attendant, responsible for the Space Force's living on the spacecraft."
"No, I don't want my girlfriend to serve others, that kind of job is the same as a flight attendant, and it's easy for a girlfriend to run away with others."
"I'm not going to run!" After speaking, Bao Yuqian lowered her head, and her face instantly turned red.
"Girls also have to have a little knowledge, otherwise it will be difficult to survive in the outside world, power to the clouds, you know, the earth will disappear sooner or later, only by getting used to the spaceship with no fixed place can we exchange for the eternity of human civilization. This is actually the same as life, even if we decorate the home well, it is impossible to live forever, only the small box containing the ashes is the eternal home, even if we pour more effort into the earth, it is impossible to make it immortal, the child will sooner or later one day leave the arms of the mother, to wander alone. ”
"Dad, don't say it so scary, it will scare Bao Yuqian for a while!"
"This is not married yet, and you have started to protect your wife?"
"Uncle, don't mind, he is talking, listening to my uncle's words, I also want to join the Space Force, you are right, we can't stay in one place forever, if each of us chooses to escape, our children and grandchildren will also lose the opportunity, and mankind may become a catastrophe in the future. I've decided, I'm going to join the Space Force too. ”
"Hahaha, well, young people must have ideas, and people who don't have ideas are not smart. We old antiques are just to make human civilization last a little longer, if you decide, tomorrow I will arrange for you to go to the Space Force Academy to study. At present, the framework of the Space Force has not yet been decided, so you are learning some basic naval and air force military theories and tactics, although it is useless, but there is something to do. In today's science-based society, education has become simple, and many places are now educating for the sake of education, and many things do not need to be learned, but the world is still consuming a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to carry out. The memory chips in science fiction movies, the kind of things that can store knowledge and can be read directly by the human brain, although I don't know when they will appear, but it is worth knowing that it will appear. It may seem ridiculous to implant a microcomputer in the human brain so that the human brain can become a Baidu Encyclopedia, but it has a lot of practical significance. ”
"So we're just waiting for a mess now?"
"It can be understood that I expect that in less than 50 years, this technology will be realized, as long as the practical activities of quantum mechanics are further developed, that technology will be closer and closer to reality, and the profession inherited by mankind for thousands of years may be declining, but this is irresistible, and things that go against the trend are lifeless."
"Is it so serious! I can't even imagine what the world will look like in the future. ”
"Don't worry, it will definitely shock you, now there are signs of the fifth scientific and technological revolution, the fifth scientific and technological revolution will make a leap in human society will be the sum of the achievements of the previous scientific and technological revolutions can not be reached, once human beings go out of the earth, more things to explore in other places will follow."
After a while, the car drove into the civil servant community, it is night, the street lights on both sides of the road are bright, there are a few military handles at the entrance of the community, after seeing Chen Chen, they will automatically let them go, these people all know Chen Chen, after all, he is an academician of the Celestial Astronomical Academy. After Chen Chen parked the car, the three of them went upstairs, Chen Chen's house is on the top floor, the space on the top floor is very large, almost 400 square meters, usually Zhang Hood also lives here, now there are more rooms, Quan Tianyun and Bao Yuqian don't know what to do. Obviously, two people don't want to be separated, two people sleep in their arms, how comfortable they sleep, and there is no fun in separating. In order to leave a good impression on Chen Chen, Bao Yuqian and Quan Tianyun slept separately, but their rooms were next to each other.
In the middle of the night, Bao Yuqian and Quan Tianyun couldn't sleep, and the sudden separation made both of them a little uncomfortable.
Quan Tianyun took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Bao Yuqian.
"Honey, did you sleep?"
As soon as it was sent, Bao Yuqian replied in seconds, "No? Can't sleep. ”
"Why can't you sleep, do you miss me?"
"No, you narcissist!"
"Otherwise, I'll go sleep with you!"
"This, it's still okay, or I'll go look for you, my bed here is smaller than yours."
"Xiaocai is warm, wait for me, I'm coming!"
The two of them were like thieves, Quan Tianyun tiptoed to Bao Yuqian's door, Bao Yuqian also opened the door carefully, and Quan Tianyun ran in.
"Hey, I'm still comfortable with you!" Quan Tianyun lay on the bed, hugged Bao Yuqian and muttered to himself.
