It was a cloudless and sunny day. Xiao Ming and Xiao Hong carried their schoolbags, held hands, and walked on the way to school.

What a good elementary school essay model beginning, except for the fact that hands are held. In the motherland, let alone elementary school, even if you write a high school essay like this, it is estimated that you will be deducted at least a few points, and even be interviewed by the head teacher. Fortunately, the protagonist here is from time to time to learn from the forest. So even if he did (/was doing/was about to do) something that was 'deeper' than holding hands, he didn't have to worry about any punishment.

Not really.

The embedded chip in the wrist releases a signal to the brain to receive a communication call, and two or three hours ago only ended the last battle that lasted all night, and has just recovered a little vitality, and now the protagonist who sees the wonderful carcass next to him and comes to the 'interest' pushes the female companion away, and the whole person bounces up from the blanket like a hot pig.

"Damn, it's past ten o'clock!"

He strode to the wall, pulled back the thick curtains, and the scorching California July sun shone in.

"Oh baby, what are you doing? You've got me! His female companion still didn't open her eyes, but muttered, "I guess you don't want my skin to be affected by sunburn, do you?" Can you close the curtains quickly? ”

He pursed his lips and did not close the curtains. He needed the sunshine to drive away the tiredness and laziness that still had on him. Plus, the girlfriend was just a third-tier actress he met yesterday in a bar near Hollywood, a person you would like to put together for a fresh and exciting evening, and that's it. Now, he doubts that he will ever experience the touch of the other person's skin next time.

Leaving the female companion behind whom he couldn't even remember her name, he took a deep breath and connected to the communication. As a result, the first sentence that came out of the newsletter did not surprise him in the slightest.

"Rhaeggar, you're not still in Los Angeles, are you!"

The tone was calm and serene, but it made him feel stressed unconsciously. It was his mother's voice.

For as long as Rhaegar can remember, his mother has had such a 'trait'. Even if she is in the crowd, even if she just stands there simply and naturally, his mother has a strong sense of presence, and can release a 'momentum' that cannot be ignored, just like those superheroes on the big screen decades ago, and those masters in martial arts novels in the motherland before. Even in front of the helm of some other old big business, and even the highest-level national leaders of the most powerful countries today, his mother can still not fall behind, and can even suppress the momentum of those people.

As far as Rhaegar knew, only his dad could maintain a hippie smile under his mother's powerful aura, without unconsciously putting on his most formal side and becoming cautious. Considering that his father often had no proper shape and that his mother was the one who started the multinational conglomerate from scratch, this has always been an unsolved mystery for Rhaegar . He had consulted with his father, but his father just laughed it off every time.

By the way, today is his father's birthday. His mother called and told him to come home and get ready.

Oh, the phone. Telephones, whether smartphones, feature phones, or solidifications, have long since been silently withdrawn from the market at some time or time period that cannot be precisely defined. It's the year 2047. The world of 2047 is very different from what his dad occasionally talks about. Although the energy crisis is still a crisis, and the environmental problem is still a problem, the most striking point is that the center of the world community is no longer focused on North America, as it was in the past, but the trend of the pattern jointly dominated by the two great powers on the east and west coasts of the Pacific. Strictly speaking, the West Bank, which had been recovering since nearly a hundred years ago, had more potential, and had good prospects and more liberal policies in all respects, which was why Rhaegar had been able to retain his nationality in the previous years, and why his mother had agreed to move back with his father after the foundation of her business in North America had been firmly established.

It is worth mentioning that the aspects mentioned above do not include the film and television industry.

The structure of the film and television industry over there in 2047 is basically the same as it was thirty years ago. Although it is a little more relaxed in terms of genre and content, a certain big hand is still in control, forcing you to cut a few cuts at any time. 120-minute movies were forced to be cut to 80 minutes, and this still happens. The producers still give a lot of money to the idols rather than the actors, not the drama itself. In contrast, it is still Hollywood on the other side of the ocean that dominates the film and television trend.

As a practitioner in the film and television industry, Rhaegar also studied related majors in college. Therefore, it is understandable that he left his parents and left his homeland to live there. Instead of working at his mother's company, he became a screenwriter.

Rhaegar is good at concocting secret service stories. Although he has just graduated, he is already well-known in the circle. Unfortunately, his fame doesn't come from his work – at least not entirely. His screenwriting skills are good, and he can even be said to be one in a hundred. He even has some potential as a director. His graduation project was to personally shoot a script written by himself, which not only achieved the best results in the school, but also won the appreciation of the alumni seniors. It's a pity that the mainstream of the film market in 2047 is not a spy movie, nor is it a superhero genre that his dad liked super much thirty years ago and occasionally took him to 'revisit' after he was born, but a dull and more challenging historical drama for an active young man like him.

Therefore, his dream of becoming a big screenwriter or even a big director within three years of graduation seems impossible to achieve for the time being.

Well, let's not talk about that for now. In 2047, there is another place that is more convenient than 30 years ago, and that is transportation. Even if he still had to go through such and such procedures, even if it always took more time for a mixed-race child to take out his Chinese nationality certificate, Rhaega still completed a series of procedures such as getting rid of the ONS female bed partner, going to the airport, getting on and off the plane, chatting with the flight attendant on the plane, and passing through the customs in five hours, and crossed the entire Pacific Ocean to meet his mother's female assistant under the building where his mother worked.

"Oh my God, Olivia, the last time you saw you with me, and the last time, and the last time, and the last time, and the last time, they were still the same, still so young, so beautiful. How did you do it! As soon as they met, Rhaegar greeted him like this. And then: "Why did my mother let you down?" Isn't there anything else going on with her? ”

The female assistant with a big smile on her face, Olivia, shrugged her shoulders at Rhaegar and acquiesced.

Receiving this answer, Rhaegar shouted helplessly: "She made me rush back in a hurry with a phone call, but she did her own thing?" We said we'd have a surprise for Daddy! ”

Olivia shook her head.

"This is an impromptu meeting with the Huaxia Rocket Base. A long-term project of extragalactic environmental exploration that we have cooperated with countries ......"

"That's the space building ship called Outer Days, right, I've heard of it. I'll tell you, when the project was first announced, I heard the voices of the former tech giants in Silicon Valley next door in Hollywood. ”

"It's not surprising." Olivia pursed her lips and shook her head as she spoke, leading Rhaegar into the building. "It's the Outer One. This time, something went wrong with Tianwai No. 1, and your mother personally negotiated with the state. You know your mother has always been a very responsible person. If you don't come to take over her shift, she will have to come by herself. ”

"Well, that's barely acceptable." Rhaegar sighed, "It's just that today is Daddy's birthday, and he is probably going to be disappointed." By the way, will you be celebrating tonight? ”

Not to mention Rhaegar's father. This was a rare time for their family to get together, only a few days a year, and now Rhaegar looked very lost. Seeing him like this, Olivia patted him on the shoulder.

"Of course it will, and you don't have to guess yet. The meeting should have been about the same before I came down. Your mother should be able to catch up. It's you. At this, she looked at Rhaegar with interest, "Your mother has always been your mother, but your father is Daddy, Dad, and Daddy. Don't you think that's a bit inappropriate? ”

Olivia refers to Rhaeggar's name for his parents.

This time it was Rhaeggar's turn to shrug his shoulders: "Mother is also very kind to me, and I love her too, but she is too strict sometimes......"

"Sometimes? You mean, she's going to be harsh for nearly 24 hours a day. ”

Rhaegar laughed, "Haha, you're right. In comparison, it's more fun to be a dad. It's just that I don't understand why many times my mother is the same demeanor, but she gives people different feelings? This question has been bothering me for years. The more you get in touch with her, maybe you can give me the answer. ”

Also since Regar can remember, Olivia has been his mother's assistant and a friend of his parents, and will come to his house from time to time to eat or something. Moreover, his parents had always kept a room for this 'friend' at home, which had not changed even though he had moved several times. There was a time when Rhaegar even thought Olivia was on the same page as his father. For this reason, he also hid from his mother, and talked to his father with a sad face, wanting to make his father 'change his ways'.

Later, this became a topic of ridicule for his father, his mother, and even Olivia herself at the dinner table.

"There's a reason for that." Olivia looked thoughtful. And just as Rhaegar was excited and expecting an answer from her mouth, she chuckled and waved her hand at him. "But since your father and your father don't tell me, I won't break the tacit understanding they have with you."

"Oh, please!" Rhaegar shouted, "They won't be ...... because of some tacit understanding."

As he said this, he was ushered into his mother's office by Olivia. However, his mother was not in the office at all. At the same time, Olivia raised her wrist, presumably receiving a communication.

“…… Good...... Okay, let's go. ”

A few minutes later, Rhaega and Olivia boarded a helicopter gunship sent by the Huaxia military. And it was a few hours before they landed at a secret rocket launch center somewhere in the Great West.

It took a considerable amount of time to complete the voyage, but it took more time, and the reason was due to the audit. The procedure of entering this rocket launch base is a little more complicated than crossing the border, and this Rhaegar is a little surprised. And the reason why he came here is mainly because of the 'Tianwai No. 1'. And part of the reason is that he is a little confused.

His father, who was 'loitering' all day, had also arrived, and it wasn't the privilege of being his mother's husband as he had originally thought he would be to come in for 'sightseeing'. The guy was standing next to the massive Outer Days, accompanied by his mother, discussing something with a number of scientists in white coats with a handful of beards and white hair. What's even weirder is that his dad is the one who talks eloquently, and those white coats listen very seriously and even respectfully.

Well, the next thing Rhaegar found out was that he was there to sightsee. Not only his father, his mother, but now even Olivia was involved in the discussion. He felt a little bit. This made him guess that the problem of 'Tianwai-1' was more serious, and it was also the first time in more than 20 years that he regretted that he was not interested in science and technology engineering when he was a child.

Of course, it's just a little bit of regret. Now instead of growing up to be a science baby, Rhaegar wants to know why his father and Olivia have been hiding such a side for more than twenty years. Considering that both of them had been hiding it for so long, they should not give an answer easily, so he decided to listen to something secretly and then analyze it himself. Although he has no talent or hobby in science, he is still good in terms of regulation analysis. After all, this involves the screenwriter's own job!

“…… I don't understand, there's no problem with the system, there's no problem with the mechanics......"

Touching the edge of the Outer Days-1 launcher, Rhaegar approached the side where a solution was being discussed. That's what Olivia said. She spoke to the white coats, occasionally glancing at Rhaegar's parents once or twice. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the 'Outer One' itself was also making some kind of special sound that could not be explained, Rhaegar could not hear exactly what she was saying. The white coats were listening carefully to every word, each holding a tablet from Rhaegara's mother's company in their hands, exchanging a few words with each other, and nodding to Olivia from time to time.

In addition, Rhaegar noticed that his parents had distanced themselves from the white coats and were standing aside and discussing in a low voice. Neither of them looked very good-looking, and they seemed to be a little fierce in their words. If Rhaegar hadn't known the two of them, he would have thought they were arguing.

It's a new experience again. His parents, who had very different personalities but were always very affectionate, were a bit like they had quarreled, which he had never seen in more than twenty years. He came closer again as if nothing had happened.

"It's clearly not a problem on this side!" These are his mother's words.

"I know, I know. The question is how the other side can reach this side. "This is his daddy.

His mother shook her head slowly, "Don't forget the last person we met over there. I'm more worried that he knows about our ......"

And his father was categorical: "This can't be! ”

After listening to this paragraph, he couldn't hear the main point, which made Rhaegar a little annoyed. It's all the fault of the 'Outer One', and the strange noises that happened to this big guy are getting louder and louder.

At this time, he was discovered by his mother.

"Rhaegar shouldn't be there...... No, get out of there! ”

It was the first time Rhaegar had seen fear on his mother's face. And then...... It may be the last time he sees his mother. As the special sound, which had been modified by Rhaegar with 'strange', suddenly climbed to an unignorable peak, a terrifying explosion erupted from inside the 'Outer One', radiating an azure light. This light engulfed the 'Outer One' entirely. Rhaegar was so close that he was the only one affected. All he had left was the birthday present he was going to give to his dad — he had asked a lot of people, lost a lot of face, and spent almost all of his savings in the two or three years from part-time work in high school to graduation to put together the memory of those superhero movies, animations, and comics of that year. There's a couple of T's in there.

It's a pity.
