Early the next morning, Jones Lulu and Jones Moon came as promised. The guest and the host sat down, and Jones Lulu was just about to start speaking, when someone reported that Samantha had arrived.

"Hehe, the Governor has arrived, and he has missed the distance!" Shu Yunpeng smiled: "Please take a seat!" ”

"I'll come and see," Samantha laughed, "whatever you want!" ”

"Yesterday I talked about the state of our Jones people, which can be summed up in one sentence: boring!" Jones Lulu began her story: "You may think, how can you Jones people last so long when you are bored? That's because we never discarded our beliefs. If it weren't for the support of the belief in saving the entire race, we might have chosen to give up a long time ago! ”

"Since we have persevered until now," Xiang Zidan said, "What we don't understand is, why did we give up so easily this time?" ”

"Easy?" Jones Lulu smiled wryly: "Do you think it will be easy for us to make this decision?" ”

"It's not easy, I know that!" Xiang Zidan said: "But what I don't understand is that there is still less than ten percent of the probability of survival, so you give up!" ”

"That's an optimistic estimate, Captain Xiang!" Jones Lulu said: "The probability of success is already very low, but this is only a theoretical conclusion. Many unexpected factors, unknowable potential dangers, are not taken into account. ”

"I don't understand anyway!" Xiang Zidan said: "For the sake of the child, I will fight!" ”

"Lulu," Seeing that Xiang Zidan was already speaking with emotion, Shu Yunpeng hurriedly interjected: "You mean, the reason why you chose to give up this time is that the probability of success is too low, in addition to being boring, right?" ”

"That's basically it, of course, there are some other ideas," Jones showed up and asked Shu Yunpeng, "Colonel, have you thought about the meaning of human existence in the universe?" ”

"Have you thought about ......it," Shu Yunpeng thought for a while, and said, "Not only when I got here, but when I was in my world, I thought about what traces people thought they had left in front of these two monsters that we called time and space, and what was the point?" ”

"Very good, Colonel Shu!" Before Jones Lulu could speak, Samantha praised: "I just said that Colonel Shu is very much like us Joneses, calm and good at thinking, pessimistic and tenacious!" ”

"Hehe, the Governor has won the prize!"

"I'm seeking truth from facts," said Samantha, "this kind of mysterious and mysterious problem can't be eaten as a meal, and few people will think about it, but you Colonel Shu thinks about it." ”

She said, facing all the earthlings: "You might as well think about it, in time and space without beginning and end, this universe is definitely not the first, nor the last. In other words, the universe we live in is just a certain reincarnation of nature, and is there anything left in the universe before this? No! After the collapse of our universe, a new reincarnated universe will appear again, will there be anything left behind in our universe? Neither will there be! ……”

"What do you say, Your Excellency? What is this universe that universe? Sister Zhen finally couldn't help it: "I'm a rough person, I only know that if you live, you should live well, even if it's difficult, you should try your best to live!" ”

"Sister Zhen......" Shu Yunpeng wanted to stop Sister Zhen, but this time, Sister Zhen didn't buy it.

"After talking for a long time, don't you just give up and don't want to live!" Sister Zhen mockingly shouted at the three Jones people: "Didn't you already have more than half of the people, and you chose to end yourself at that time!" Why are you still on Earth? Just to live twenty more years? ”

"That's right, just to live twenty more years!" Samantha was not angry, and replied with a grin: "Since no matter how much we struggle, it will be ruthlessly erased by the universe, we can only hope that we no longer need to worry about the illusory goal of saving the race, and we will spend these twenty years quietly and peacefully." So, we thought twice and decided to stay on Earth and enjoy our normal life! ”

After Samantha finished speaking, she stood up and nodded to Shu Yunpeng and left.

"Alright! You don't want to run away, you see death as home! But we are afraid of death, we run! Sister Zhen jumped up and shouted at Samantha's back: "The earth belongs to you, change your spaceship, let us run, okay!" ”

Shu Yunpeng didn't stop Sister Zhen anymore. Jones is too calm, admitting reason, and reasoning is useless. Since they admit to death, then, maybe it's time to show the temper of the earthlings.

To be sure, millions of years of interstellar travel without ego and emotion for a certain goal, supported by faith and cloning technology, is indeed physically and mentally exhausting. Not to mention the possibility of encountering unexpected dangers, from birth to death, a person can only look out of the porthole of the spaceship for the rest of his life to look at the vast space that is constantly spent on the other side, and nothing else. Who can not be disgusted by such a journey of life? The Jones people have their own reasons for their choice.

But for earthlings, it is undoubtedly ridiculous to give up everything because interstellar voyages are boring, arduous and dangerous!

It seemed that what had been said had been said, Jones Lulu and Jones Moon stood up and were about to leave, when Shu Yunpeng suddenly said to them: "Our people found something in the corner, you guys come and see what it is." ”

A couple of earthlings pushed the thing over in a cart.

"Huh!" Jones Moon looked at it and smiled, "That's one of our mining rigs. ”

"Miners?" Shu Yunpeng said: "How do I look like the interceptor you used in air combat? ”

"Almost!" Jones Lulu said: "Our interceptors were converted from miners. Because the war with the earthlings came very suddenly, we didn't have time to make air combat weapons, so we could only modify the mining machine and use it, anyway, they are all intelligent robots! ”

"So, after a hundred years of fighting, you didn't lose anyone?"

"We are few men, Colonel Shu," said Jones Lulu, "and we cannot afford to lose!" ”

"We still have losses," Jones Moon said, "we have lost a total of seven people, and the deaths of these seven people are all related to you, Colonel Shu!" ”

"There are too few of you, yes," Shu Yunpeng ignored Jones Moon's stubble, but said to Jones Lulu: "But this is strange, you care so much about your own people, and now you give up when you say give up?" ”

Jones Lulu and Jones Moon looked at each other and said nothing.

"You are contradicting yourself!" Shu Yunpeng sighed and said, "Of course, this is your decision, and I can't object to it." But I have a suggestion for both of you to pass on to Samantha. ”

"What suggestions, Colonel Shu, please speak!"

"Sister Zhen's words are not rough," Shu Yunpeng said: "Our people don't want to give up yet, but we don't have the tools." Now that you've given up, now that you have seven motherships, you can free up two for us! The earth is yours, you can toss as much as you like, what do you think? ”

Jones Lulu and Jones Moon looked at each other, unable to answer for a moment.

"Don't worry," Shu Yunpeng said calmly: "You go back and ask Samantha if this plan is feasible!" ”

"It seems unlikely......," said Jones Lulu, "Colonel, what if you can't get out?" ”

"Run, too!" Shu Yunpeng said resolutely: "I'd rather die tomorrow, but I must die on the way to the interstellar voyage!" ”

"Me too!" Sister Zhen then said: "The house is on fire, the first choice of a wise person is to run out, even if you run out, it is a dead end!" ”

Jones Lulu looked at the other earthlings, and although they didn't speak, their expressions clearly told her the answer.

"Okay!" She said, "We're in charge of bringing the words!" ”

After seeing the Jones people leave, Zhang Jingyi sighed sadly: "God, we have so many people dead, they just lost some mining robots, this is ......"

"Now you know how self-righteous your Rausch committee is!" Shu Yunpeng said coldly: "Now everyone knows very well the gap between us and them, right?" Remember, don't rush things, for the sake of what little hope you have, you have to be patient. ”

He said as he looked at Sister Zhen.

"What do you want me to do?" Sister Zhen muttered, "I didn't say I was going to fight with them......"

"I'm not just talking about you, I'm also talking about everyone," Shu Yunpeng said, "We're in an awkward situation right now!" We don't want to give up, but we don't have the ability to travel interstellar ourselves, so we can only convince the Jones to teach them the technology, or convince them to fly together. So you have to keep in mind that you can't fall out with the Jones, you have to live in peace with them! ”

"How do I think, I really chose to give up......" Zhang Jingyi sat with her head down, and suddenly muttered to herself: "It's not a bad thing!" ”

"What do you mean?" Shu Yunpeng was a little annoyed, he didn't expect Zhang Jingyi to say this.

"That's what it means!" Zhang Jingyi raised her head, looked at Shu Yunpeng and said, "Thinking deeply, it's really not very comfortable." You think, if I'm old, I'll have to clone my body. So, I went into the cloning room...... Then I woke up with a new body, healthy and young, and you hugged me excitedly, but I pushed you away and yelled at you angrily: Who are you, how are you a hooligan? ……”

All the people present, including Shu Yunpeng, were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"It's true!" Zhang Jingyi didn't laugh, and continued: "If you think about it, the clone must be undressed. You're naked, and all of a sudden a man pounces on you and hugs you, and you don't recognize who he is, and you're going to get angry......"

Everyone was laughing and leaning back. I have to say that if that day really comes, this kind of thing will often happen, which is ridiculous.

"Then the colonel hurriedly pulled you to the computer: Come on, come on, review your basic information first......" Xiang Zidan added with a smile: "I am your closest friend!" ”

The crowd laughed again. But after laughing, a sense of sadness that I had never felt before also surged into everyone's hearts.

"Described by Commander Zhang," Liang Jingjing said, "I seem to be able to understand the Jones people a little bit......

"Seems to be yes," Emily said, "memories will be erased, and many things will be forgotten......"

"Alright, it's time to get to work!" Seeing this, Shu Yunpeng hurriedly interrupted. People's emotions are contagious, and it seems that the long-term distress of the Jones people is contagious to the people of the earth. The subtle result will make the earthlings lose their enterprising spirit and give up saving themselves. He didn't want that to happen.
