Chapter 10: Guarding (Little Z Asks for Recommended Collection)
Xi Lewei sat at the dining table, watching his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter, a family of five and three generations, all happily eating dinner, this is a kind of happiness.
It's now nine days after the second jump, and the gravity-free area inside the Hope has been repaired, and according to the plan, the shuttle can be repaired this evening, and the newly created energy circuit will be installed inside the shuttle, and the entire interior of the shuttle has been converted into a simple laboratory.
At the same time, all the computer, hardware, and software experts on the Hope are working overtime tonight to repair the computer's hard drive, and some of the data has been restored, and it is estimated that it will be completely completed in a few hours.
Then there is the energy reserve of the entire Hope...... There are only four days left.
As a world-renowned physicist and the leader of Hope's physics system, he naturally has the right to know the inside story of this series, and he also knows that there are only four days left in Hope's life, and the remaining three days of energy must be used for emergency rescue, such as launching a shuttle, and using an anti-gravity system to simulate gravity and attract the shuttle back, etc., all require a lot of energy.
So in other words, there was only one day and one night left for Hope.
Xilewei ate the steak quietly, today he specially went to receive this month's ration luxury, there are steaks, red wine, cigars, and caviar, a pair of lobsters, many fruits and vegetables, of course, the meat is frozen and refrigerated, it is definitely not alive and fresh, but the fruits and vegetables are freshly picked from the sixth layer of the ecological park, which is the most luxurious at the moment of the Hope.
The rest of the family was very happy because of the sumptuous dinner, especially his granddaughter who was eating lobster and drinking juice, and her expression was simply cute.
"Honey, why are you so happy today? These luxuries are probably a month's ration share. Celeveus' wife asked him.
Silveid's son and daughter-in-law, as well as his granddaughter, who was about ten years old, also looked at him.
Xi Lewei took a sip of red wine and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's just that the research has finally been completed, so let's celebrate today, and the Hope is about to reform the monetary system, and I, as the chief scientist of the Department of Physics, must have a lot of currency every month, so eat with peace of mind, it's okay." ”
The rest of the people were relieved, and they all laughed and talked about what had happened recently.
But Silvei knew that they had really suffered on earth.
Before boarding the Hope, although Silaway and his family did not encounter the British astrophysicist Allen, but they also saw the horror of the riots, so they were trapped at home for several months, not daring to look for food or anything, so for a long time, they were all starving, adults were fine, but the child's granddaughter suffered a great crime, until now, this little girl who was originally a picky eater, is actually the same as adults, there is not even a little food left at every meal, You have to eat it all.
Moreover, the family of Silewei has also seen the situation on the third floor of the Hope, where the people have been living in tents for nearly two months, there is no private kitchen, toilet, no luxuries, not even a bed, and they can only eat a big pot of rice every day.
This and when they first boarded the Hope, they were worried that because the captain of the Hope was Chinese, the scientists would not be taken seriously, or that there was some strange system that would make their family's living standard very low, these worries were completely unnecessary, and they were very satisfied with the current situation, and it could even be said that it exceeded their expectations.
"By the way, today I met Mrs. Silva, who was there with the logistics staff to find the right brand of powder...... Alas, it's really pitiful, my husband died so early, and he lives alone with a daughter, but Hope has handled it well, and her welfare is not less at all, compared with before, it has even increased a lot, and the ration of five barrels of high-quality milk powder a month is almost enough to catch up with our family. Said Silvew's daughter-in-law at this time.
Silewei's wife replied: "It's not easy for her to live alone, and she is a single-parent family, in fact, our family has seven barrels of milk powder a month, and we don't eat it, and Xiao Val can only drink three or four barrels a month at most...... Just give the excess to Mrs. Silva.
Unexpectedly, the little girl Val suddenly screamed: "Don't do it, my mother and mother-in-law are too good, these are my milk powder!" Hmph, I drank three times as much milk every night before I went to bed! You are not allowed to give it to anyone else! ”
The little girl was ten years old at most, and when she heard her words, the rest of the people laughed, and even the worried Silewei couldn't stop laughing, and gave the lobster fork on his plate to Little Val, provoking the little guy to say the best thing about his grandfather.
(Something like this...... Such...... )
(Such happiness must be defended with our lives!) )
Listening to the voice of his little granddaughter and looking at the smiling faces of his family, the voice echoed in his head, and his thoughts returned to the scene they had discussed during the day.
"This experiment is important! It can almost be said that the whole Hope is the key to life and death, but it is also very dangerous, and the people who go are likely to really die, not like Ivan and them, although they are extremely injured, but they are lucky to be alive...... No, this experiment is at least a kilometer away from the Hope, and in the event of an explosion, the entire shuttle can explode to pieces, which would be absolutely dead! ”
There were more than 20 scientists present, basically all of whom were leaders of various project teams, or famous scientists such as Allen, Silve, and Allison, and leaders in the scientific community, and these people were the insiders of scientists.
The person who spoke just now was Allison, this stereotyped, aggressive, and even annoying old scientist, but at this moment it seemed that his whole body was shining, he looked at everyone in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what your decision is, anyway, I have to participate in this experiment!" ”
More than twenty scientists looked at him strangely, and another yellow-skinned scientist said, "Dr. Allison...... You have a family, right? Why don't we go? I, and a few of them are single, we don't have anything to worry about, and we can rest easy, you ......"
Allison interrupted him directly, "No, it's because I have family on the Hope that I decided to go!" One is that my specialty is conductors and currents, and energy, and I dare say that there are people who can surpass me in this profession on the Hope...... Not a single one! So who is this to me? You can only choose me! Since it is the last hope of the entire Hope, why not choose the best and most professional? ”
"Secondly...... It's because my family is on the Hope that I need to go even more...... To tell you the truth, the Hope is like an iron box, there is no blue sky, no earth, no ocean, and my grandson may not be able to see these things for the rest of his life, but ...... They are happy now! Because there is life, because there is hope! In this big universe, none of us know what we will encounter in the future, it may be jumping past and directly entering the star, and we will die in an instant, or we may jump into a black hole, and we will also die in an instant, but we may also find a new home, a new planet, and start a new chapter for our human race, who knows? The future is always full of cruelty and hope, but we at least have hope! ”
The more Allison spoke, the more agitated he became, his hair was all white, his face was full of wrinkles, his expression was rigid and even harsh, but at this moment, it was as if he was radiating some kind of light all over his body.
"Because of this hope, my family feels happy, they did not die on earth, nor did they die in the riots, nor did they die in the last days, the future is uncertain, and this is not the reason why we scientists are fighting for it?"
"For the sake of this happiness, I am willing to defend it with my life!"
Allison took off his reading glasses, rubbed his eyes gently, and then said to the rest: "There are still four candidates left, one major in physics, one major in chemistry, one major in biology, and one experimental student is responsible for the adjustment of various equipment, so be it, everyone...... As I said, only the most elite, the most professional, the most successful people in this experiment, if you make up your mind, then tomorrow morning, we will wait for each other outside this shuttle. ”
Silevy's thoughts returned to the dinner table, and he suddenly got up and kissed his little granddaughter's little face, and then said, "There are two months left until little Shiva's birth...... Grandpa will definitely give you a gift that you like. ”
"Really?" Little Shiva immediately jumped up excitedly, and pulled Celevi to ask about the gift.
And Silevi just smiled, but did not answer, his smile was carried with a kind of determination.
(Yes, this kind of happiness is worth defending with our surname!) )
The second day, Silvey got up early in the morning, and when he arrived at the shuttle, Allison was already standing there, surrounded by more than a dozen scientists......
