Chapter 402: Terminal Illness
The capital city is located in a large basin near the Blue Star equator, surrounded by rolling hills. When the Phoenix Galaxy was originally chosen as the station and the Blue Star was chosen as the capital star, people did not start the planetary transformation plan to fully transform the Blue Star into a planet suitable for human life - that would consume too many resources, too long a time, and the actual conditions did not allow it - but chose this basin, and then covered it entirely, creating a confined environment, and built a complete heating, energy, gas cycle, artificial weather system, etc., in which it was built as the temporary capital of human civilization.
Over the centuries, the capital city has become an environment that is not much different from the Earth in the footage, with the same warm sunshine – albeit virtual, with lush vegetation and babbling streams.
The Führer's residence is located on a ridge somewhere on the edge of the capital. Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the Führer has a panoramic view of the entire capital city.
Those who can inhabit the Blue Star instead of the space bases and large ships are the elite of human civilization. They either have high political status, or they have a wealth of knowledge that no one dares to underestimate, or they have a huge amount of wealth. And Shen Qingyuan is the ruler of this city composed of many elites, and he is the leader of millions of spaceships and space bases, and hundreds of billions of people outside the Blue Star.
In a sense, the fate of human civilization depends on him. But now, standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the city as before, Shen Qingyuan did not feel the satisfaction of supreme power, but felt indescribable pressure.
A civilization with a population of hundreds of billions, especially when it is on the run, has an incalculable number of internal affairs. And each of these affairs may be related to the fate of the entire civilization, and Shen Qingyuan must make the right decision as much as possible. This requires him to tense his nerves at all times, and maintain the highest level of physical strength and spirit at all times.
But recently, Shen Qingyuan often feels that his mental and physical strength are not as good as before, sometimes when he wakes up in the morning, the first signal that his body feeds back is not to get up immediately to work, but to hope that he can sleep a little longer. When thinking about certain questions, there is always a bit of blockage in my mind, and I can't think as quickly as I used to. Especially in the evening, my chest always feels tight, and I feel like I want to vomit but I can't do it anyway.
"Maybe I'm really old and no longer up to the job." Shen Qingyuan sighed softly, "It's time to cultivate a successor." ”
There was the sound of soft footsteps behind him. Shen Qingyuan didn't need to look back, he knew that it was his wife who came in. After more than 200 years of getting along, Shen Qingyuan and his wife have long had a corresponding tacit understanding.
As always, his wife gently put a cup of tea on the table, then stepped forward and stood beside Shen Qingyuan.
Although there is a whole team responsible for serving Shen Qingyuan at any time, drinking a cup of tea made by his wife has become an irreplaceable habit after finishing work every day. Only the wife can properly grasp the temperature and consistency of the tea she wants, and only the wife can bring the tea to her in a timely manner when she wants to drink the tea the most.
"How's work today? Tired? ”
Looking at his wife, who is still old, but still elegant, gentle and understanding, Shen Qingyuan today has a little more emotion for no reason.
"It's still like that. Ayu, all these years...... You've worked hard. ”
Zhou Mingyu gently took her husband's palm and didn't speak, but Shen Qingyuan had already fully felt his wife's heart.
"Next year we're going to be back to the solar system. When civilization stabilizes, I will resign from the post of Führer, and then I will have time to accompany you. ”
"Okay."
"Has Fusheng already entered his grandfather's company for an internship?"
Zhou Mingyu said in a low voice: "Yes." Resurrection is relatively soft, and you don't allow him to reveal his identity, so I can only rest assured that he will be placed in my father's company. ”
Shen Qingyuan frowned, and then stretched out again: "I'm worried that this will not have a good impact. ”
Faced with the arrangement of her only son, Zhou Mingyu showed a rare insistence in front of her husband: "Because of your identity, the Civilization and Integrity Committee has specially arranged a long-term supervision team in my father's company, and it has even affected the normal operation of the company, I can persuade my father to accept this arrangement, but you have to listen to me about the resurrection." ”
"Okay."
Shen Qingyuan nodded and did not argue with his wife again.
casually talked about homely things, his wife turned around and left, while Shen Qingyuan sat next to the coffee table, picked up the teacup, and took a sip gently.
The portable computer on his wrist vibrated slightly, Shen Qingyuan raised his arm, and the slightly obese face of Wu Wei, the head of the health department, appeared in front of him.
"The investigation into the Nimbus incident has reached preliminary conclusions. First, the disease is not contagious. Second, the disease is a radiation sickness, but the cause of the disease cannot be ascertained for the time being. Third, the extent of the disease cannot be determined for the time being, and there are no treatment options. ”
Shen Qingyuan said: "Continue to investigate. It is important to determine the extent of the impact and the cause of the disease as soon as possible. We're going to be back next year, and I won't allow anything to affect stability during this time. ”
"Yes, Führer."
Communication was cut off, and Shen Qingyuan continued to take small sips of tea, but suddenly, the feeling of tightness in his chest reappeared. This made Shen Qingyuan a little upset, so he put down the teacup and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window again.
The wrist computer vibrated again, and this time it was a middle-aged man wearing glasses who looked extremely shrewd and capable.
"Führer, I have just received a report from the health team that the results of your medical examination are in."
"Say."
"You have Holmes neurological disorder. Occasional feeling of tightness in your chest is an early sign of the condition. ”
Shen Qingyuan's palm clenched suddenly.
Although not a medical expert, Shen Qingyuan has also heard the name of Huo's neurological dysfunction. This is a terminal disease, even if the technology of human civilization has developed to the present stage, there is still no cure for this disease, but can only delay the progression of the disease.
The disease was only discovered in the last few hundred years, because the first doctor to define it was surnamed Huo, and it had such a name.
This disease is somewhat similar to the cancer that plagued mankind in the era of the country, and it has gradually become common because the average life expectancy of human beings has increased dramatically.
"Your illness is in the very early stages, and the medical team believes that with good treatment, you have at least forty years to live."
Shen Qingyuan is only two hundred and sixty-seven years old now. The average life expectancy of human beings today is as high as 400 years. Even if he can live for another forty years, no, sixty years, Shen Qingyuan will only be three hundred and twenty-seven years old, and there is still a few decades away from the age of four hundred.
Like most people, Shen Qingyuan always thought that his time was still long, and death was far away from him. But now, this news has subverted Shen Qingyuan's cognition in one fell swoop.
"I don't think I'll ever see the earth and the sun." Shen Qingyuan's voice became a little hoarse unconsciously.
The secretary whispered, "If we set sail next year and everything goes well, we will be back in the solar system in less than two hundred years." According to the medical expert group, if you are in good physical condition, you can likewise go into a single hibernation of no more than twenty years. There is hope that you will return to the solar system. ”
Shen Qingyuan was silent for a long time, and the secretary waited patiently. After a long time, Shen Qingyuan said: "Pay attention to the confidentiality of this matter. No one is allowed to know about it except you and the medical expert team. Those who dare to leak it will be punished as the crime of leaking secrets. ”
The health status of high-ranking government officials and their families was originally extremely classified information, and even if Shen Qingyuan did not specifically order it, the secretary would have noticed this. But Shen Qingyuan was still a little uneasy and asked again.
"Yes, Führer." The secretary immediately agreed, and said: "The medical expert group recommends that you start treatment tomorrow, as you know, Huo's neurological dysfunction is a disease, the sooner it is treated, the better." ”
Shen Qingyuan was silent for a moment and said, "Tomorrow I will go to inspect the resource spaceship fleet. Leave the treatment time to the day after tomorrow. ”
"Yes."
At the end of the communication, Shen Qingyuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and did not leave for a long time.
Shen Qingyuan knew that because of the arrival of this news, he had to make some changes to his life plan.
At this moment, near the heavy transport ship Nimbus, Wang Hao is still busy experimenting. If the accident is not investigated clearly, Wang Hao's mission will not end.
A crisp bell interrupted Wang Hao's thoughts, and Wang Hao connected, and saw the figure of the Minister of Health that he had only seen in photos and videos before.
"Minister, you ......"
Wang Hao was slightly excited in his heart.
"Wang Hao, you did a good job. It is precisely because of medical workers like you, who are not afraid of danger and have the courage to take responsibility, that our health department can grasp the relevant information about the Nimbus spacecraft incident in such a short period of time. ”
To be directly praised by the minister will undoubtedly be a strong stroke in the resume. If it were the rest of the people, I am afraid that they would have been so excited that they didn't know what to do, but Wang Hao said with some uneasiness: "This mission is actually not dangerous, I have found out that this disease is not contagious." ”
"When you choose to deal with it yourself, you don't know if it's contagious or not. Wang Hao, you don't have to be modest, I will remember your credit. You can't get out of here right now, though. I need you to investigate the incident further and determine the cause and scope of the disease as soon as possible. I will send some people to assist you, and you can always ask me for anything you need. ”
"Yes, mission guaranteed!"
