forty-eight

[45 years of the era of crisis, encounter]

Peng Xiaoming has been in this era for quite some time, and has kept up with the pace of the technological and magical era. Now, he's going to a place.

The rays of the artificial sun in the space city color the entire city in vivid colors. Grass, wood, Qionglou, Yuyu...... Everything is gilded with a golden border. Peng Xiaoming's hair was half dyed yellow in the light, and even the few black hairs reflected the brilliant light.

On the grass under your feet, a drop of water falls off the grass, and when it falls, it does not forget to scatter a ray of crystalline sunlight.

In front, there is a square mountain, and the whole "mountain" is only more than a meter high. The exterior is strictly square and sharp edges, and it is also tied with a golden ribbon by the glow of the sun, and at the same time has a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

Peng Xiaoming came to the front of the mountain and saw a stone tablet erected in front of the mountain, he stared at this stone tablet seriously, and the gaze in his eyes suddenly softened.

There is a line of large characters on the stele from top to bottom, which is divided into three points of wood, and it is more conspicuous under the sunlight:

The Tomb of Peng An.

On the square mausoleum, there are also traces of time. There are some fine cracks on the ancient brick tomb, which are not obvious if you don't look carefully, and there are some sand hidden in the cracks in the rough bricks, and even weed buds emerge from the cracks.

When staring, Peng Xiaoming's eyes were saying, "Son, I can't imagine it, my father has come to see you." "Dad has been hibernating for almost 20 years, but I didn't expect to sleep a lot, and when I woke up, you had already gone." There is no expression on his face, no sadness, no depression, but he is feeling time, feeling what time is, feeling the changes that time brings. It's the wind and clouds!

"The world has changed." He let out a final sigh and let out a long breath. As everyone knows, the soil under my feet is wet with something.

Oh, yes! The world has changed.

The words in the sky are chaotic in my ears, and you and I are silent and do not respond (from the song "Spring Mud"). At this time, the state between the two of them can be described by this lyric. Dad is like the "spring mud", coming to guard his son's tomb, just like "turning into spring mud to protect the flowers", protecting the flowers that have become a thing of the past.

"Brother Peng, mourning!" Li Bang lowered his head, spit out a puff of smoke from his mouth, and said.

"It's fine. I have nothing to grieve. Peng Xiaoming thought that if he didn't hibernate, he might be able to see his son again.

……

Old.

His son had little contact with him, he grew up almost on his own, supported by his mother and other relatives, and the son always knew that his father was hibernating and had only seen him when he was a child. One day when Peng An was twenty-three years old, he went to a leasing company to rent a spaceship to visit his old father Peng Xiaoming in Space City, although Peng An knew that the distance was long and it would take a long time. When I arrived, I learned that my father was still hibernating.

Peng An came to the hospital where his father hibernated, and came to Peng Xiaoming's hibernation ward according to the instructions of the hibernation nurse. The ward is simple and simple, the walls on all four sides are neat white, and there are four bed-like things about 3 meters long and 1 meter wide, which are medical hibernation cabins. The doctor opened the hidden information windows, looked at the identification documents, and pointed to the hibernation pod closest to the door.

Peng An stared at the hibernation cabin, without any waves in his heart, feeling that time had stopped at this moment. It even feels like my father is not in it at all, but is secluded in a corner of the world.

Just like when his father gazed at his tombstone in the future.

The same......

So I stayed in Space City for a few days, and then took a spacecraft back to Mars, and returned to work in my previous unit, which has been going for nearly a year. After that, he never looked for his old father again.

Peng An is engaged in scientific research, but he has never been the main force of the research team, just some work to pick up the leftovers, which is fine. You can get some wages if you lie flat, but it's less, but it's enough to live. He silently looked at the research members who were sitting next to the desk and were the main backbone, the pen in his hand did not stop, his eyes were fixed on the parameter curve on the computer, but he had no right to speak. His life was ordinary, unlike his father, Peng Xiaoming, who researched controlled nuclear fusion, and although his father failed and committed the crime of resource destruction under the Articles of Confederation at the time, he also succeeded - now controlled nuclear fusion has become one of the many most important and practical technologies. As one scientist in a crisis year put it: "Controlled nuclear fusion, let's really fly into deep space." ”

……

"Give me one." Peng Xiaoming said.

Li Bang gave him a cigarette that had been lit on fire. Peng Xiaoming skillfully held the cigarette between his two fingers and brought it to his mouth. Bite with your teeth. Pumped up.

The smoke came out of the cigarette butt, and the curve in the air swirled, like an elliptical galaxy, gradually floating into the sky, as if Peng Xiaoming's melancholy, floating lightly beside it, and gradually dissipating. It seems that "the jade curtain can't be rolled up, and the clothes are smashed and the anvil is returned"

……

Grigory temporarily retracted his thoughts and released a map of the solar system, on which the planets were in motion, but the sun was not moving.

"Sir, what are you hesitating about?"

Grigory was unmoved, he was a technocratic maniac, and there were many others like him, all of whom were trying to steal the technical materials of the Cornerstone Empire, and did not hesitate to betray their alliance organization "Negative Civilization". Now, even the original alliance organization has surrendered to the Solar System Federation Society, and he and his other comrades-in-arms have become a lonely chess.

"Look at how many Cornerstone Treasures (short for Extraterrestrial Civilization Cornerstone Empire Technical Data) there already are?"

"There are already ...... There are three parts in the upper volume, two parts in the lower volume, but the basic uselessness of the next volume, for us, the technology of the next volume is based on a small part of the upper volume and the content of the whole middle volume to carry out theoretical support. It can be said that without all of the upper and middle volumes, there will be no all of the next volume. ”E

At the same time, he brought a suspended resource ball from his side, which contained a lot of drinkable water, E

IC drank the water slowly, and felt the tip of his tongue refreshing and smooth.

"Immediately order the study unit: start learning the knowledge of the first three books."

"Obey."

"So, when is the second phase of the attack on the 'Land of the Sunset'?"

"It's already started. The team has set off. We're going to watch now. ”

"Sir, please."

"What please? Fools, we're on our way to the meteorite base where we're standing with an asteroid engine. You can come and look at something. ”

"Yes."

They came to a place where there was a big pit, about 50 meters in diameter, next to which a lift could go down.

"What's down there?" E

IC asked tremblingly.

"There's a fireball down there, and that's the fusion reactor. He serves as the core of the planet and also as the engine of the planet. ”

"Megastructures?"

"Yes. Megastructures. This industrial term is an idea of the internal structure of an artificial planet. The purpose is to use the energy of the internal medium nuclear reactor to maintain the planet's operation, of course, this structure requires the cooperation of some other levers and equipment. This 'movement' includes rotation, direction of action, etc. You can look at the internal structure, it's all artificial, and in the very center, deepest inside, there is a nuclear reactor. There is not much energy released, which is the energy of the usual spaceship. Grigory said proudly, "Oh, this is the theory of the structure of materials in the first section of the first part of the first volume of the Treasure Book. ”

"I've seen this too. The engineering team has also studied in depth. ”E

IC said.

"Oh, and most importantly: are you ready?"

"The second phase of the attack is ready. The electromagnetic kinetic cannon has been initialized, the target identification system is operating at full power, and the lightsaber (laser energy weapon) is being initialized. ”E

Ic hopefully, "You can attack at any time now, as long as the bug society is in the best possible range." ”

"Bugs." Grigley repeated the word, "Hahahaha, hey, hey, hey, hehe, hehe." Figurative...... Hahaha...... What a ingenious ...... Hehe. ”

"Isn't this the stupid human being of the Federation Society of the Solar System, and the original organization? Hahahahahahaha The two extremely ugly faces unfolded a sinister and evil smile, "Hehe...... Really buggy (bugs). ”

"Actually, even if the "negative civilization" surrenders, those humans may not be able to spare them, and they may be on the gallows now......"E

IC laughed, spit out all the water he had just drunk, and sprayed it everywhere.

"Oh, E

IC, the water you're squirting out looks like that lightsaber shoots. Hey. ”

Grigley pushed the laughter to another climax.
