I knew and participated in saying goodbye to Dean Chen, the old captain and Sister Isa leading me back into the elevator, and we got into the flying car together and started to drive in the direction of home, but it was as if I was sleepwalking, and it was as if I had an extra self in my mind, desperately trying to prevent me from waking up from my nightmare.

But dreams always wake up, and I woke up when the flying car turned a corner lightly, and the sun shone on my face through the window again; The old captain sitting next to him noticed this change for the first time, and said with a smile: "Figured it out? ”

I nodded and replied in the affirmative, "Yes, Grandpa!" ”

"Alright then, let's go home and talk later." The old man didn't ask again, but patted Sister Isa, who was driving, on the shoulder: "Isa, take us home......"

Soon we sat down again in the old man's study, and Sister Isa made us tea and left, leaving me and the old captain to sit opposite each other.

The old man didn't rush to speak, but picked up the teacup, gently opened the tea leaves on the water surface with the lid of the cup, and drank it slowly, and then opened his mouth: "Xiaoqiang, can you tell me your decision?" ”

This time, I looked at the old man with a firm look in my eyes, "Grandpa, since I have become a third-level reformer, it is my duty to serve the country, so I am willing to become a real professional soldier like you!" ”

Hearing my words, the old man's face did not appear with my familiar smile, but became much more serious. He gently put down his teacup and took out his pipe, but instead of lighting it, he stared at me quietly. This kind of performance made me know that what the old man had to say below was very important to me, and I couldn't help but do it properly on the sofa.

After a while, the old man asked, "Xiaoqiang, do you want to hear why grandpa wants to be a soldier?" Seeing that I nodded repeatedly, he began to narrate: "Actually, when I was as old as you, my greatest wish was to be an astronomer. Such a wish was a normal thing for a child like me who was born on the moon, because most of our parents were the world's leading astronomers or astrophysicists at the time. ”

Accompanied by the old man's narration, the history of the birth of the empire that I had learned in history class in the past was presented to me in a different way, and the identity of the narrator made this past full of fresh breath.

"So, after the United Earth government announced a total ban on space exploration, those of us who live on the moon felt that the end of the world had come. You know, what we think about every day is the problem of the cosmic scale, and they want to lock all human beings in a prison called the Earth-Moon System!! When he said this, the old man's face showed a hint of redness, and you can imagine what a terrible thing it was for him back then.

"Luckily, the 's' spores were obtained by Emperor Qin Zheng, and he was extremely keenly aware that this was an opportunity to change everything, and he did seize this opportunity. At first, his movements were carefully kept to a small limit, but he soon discovered that the Moonmen were the best subordinates that God had given him, and that almost all of them wanted to be able to go high and fly far, and they were not genetically willing to be confined to this prison. ”

Speaking of this, the old man was a little thirsty, picked up the cup and drank some water, I quickly filled the cup, and then looked at him with expectant eyes, the old man smiled, and continued: "The next thing became simple, more than 600,000 moonmen voted and unanimously passed an independent decision, and then began to prepare for war. The older ones, who are not fit for front-line combat, are concentrating on making helium bombs, while we, the younger generation, are beginning to try to inject 's' spores. ”

He paused again, as if stung by something in his memory, and his voice became much lower: "It was the first large-scale transformation operation in the true sense of the word, and we didn't have any experience to refer to, even the dosage was estimated. The old man sighed before continuing: "Of the 1,000 people who were injected for the first time, less than 200 ...... survived."

The recollection, which was obviously painful, paused as he lit his pipe, and the pale cyan smoke rose in a curling pattern.

"Luckily, I am one of the two hundred who are alive, and the changes that have taken place in me are the least damaging of all the types known so far, an increase in brain power and longevity. But my cousin and three friends who grew up together didn't make it through. "The temperature in the room seemed to drop suddenly, and my back shivered, and in a trance, I seemed to see old William pounce on the enemy again......

For a moment, both of us were confined to our memories, neither of us spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was depressing, until the old man's voice continued to sound: "Their sacrifice is worthwhile, and after paying a terrible price of more than eighteen hundred lives, we have finally found the appropriate dosage to use the 's'; ”

As if to adjust his mood, the old man's narration returned to a familiar taste: "What happened later is roughly similar to what is told in the history books, the Emperor took advantage of the fact that most of the space facilities on Earth have been damaged, launched an attack and quickly won, the empire was quickly established, and our desire to explore the unknown can be realized." ”

Speaking of this, the old man's face showed a wordless expression, but he only paused for a moment, and then he continued with determination: "As a member of the army who participated in the war and made war achievements, I was rewarded quite generously, and the emperor even intended to let me lead a star district, I was still young and vigorous at the time, and I almost accepted this appointment; But my grandfather's father, an Oriental, resolutely prevented me from accepting it, and spent three days and three nights telling me an ancient wisdom inherited from the Oriental people--a companion is like a tiger! I was finally convinced by him, and I submitted my resignation to the Emperor, confessing that I only wanted a boat and a desire to travel as many planets as I could in my lifetime. ”

The old man picked up the teacup from the table again and moistened his throat, and his tone was much more relaxed: "The Emperor seems to be very sorry, but he still gave me the first stellar system cargo ship that had just been developed at that time, and I led these like-minded brothers to start a galactic journey; That ship was the first generation of 'Benjamin'......"
