Chapter 49: The Transition Between the Old and the New Era
"Moon boy, what are you thinking, so obsessed?"
Hearing the sound, Xuan Yue turned her head to look, but saw Luo Lao leaning over, with his hands behind his back, slowly walking to his side, and said with a smile: "Do you still want to work?" ”
"Old Luo, good afternoon."
Xuan Yue nodded respectfully to Luo Lao, but the old man smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Eh, we are also old acquaintances, don't keep talking like this, tired." ”
His slightly cloudy eyes glanced around Xuan Yue, as if he was looking for something, and finally asked Xuan Yue, "What about the little guy next to you, why haven't you seen it now?" ”
"Little Q is working underground in the experimental building, and it will probably be some time before he returns."
"That's ......"
The old man seemed a little disappointed, then shook his head, scratched his somewhat bald shiny head with some annoyance, and said, "This little guy is still avoiding me, really." ”
"Luo Lao, are you here today?"
Xuan Yue's face was a little helpless, Xiao Q was lucky today, he didn't follow him, otherwise he would have to make some noise.
However, he felt that the old man should not have come to chat with him today, after all, neither of them was the kind of person who could be idle.
“......”
Hearing this, the old man's expression became a little gloomy, he slowly squatted down, sat on the steps of the cafeteria a little awkwardly, did not care about the dust on it, put his hands on his knees, quietly looked at the playground in front of him, and did not speak.
Xuan Yue looked at the old man with gray temples, and didn't speak for a while, just sat silently beside the old man and accompanied him to look around the playground in front of him.
Luo Lao, a representative of the older generation of the motherland, is over eighty years old this year, and has been engaged in the country's most cutting-edge scientific and technological research and development, while taking into account the country's political governance, providing a lot of help to Xuanyue.
Don't look at him when he talks to Xuan Yue, he smiles like a little old man, but in the eyes of many people, this old man can be described as a giant in the political field, and he is famous for his iron-blooded and tough style.
After all, he is an old man who has come out of the hard years, has suffered a lot of hardships, and knows the importance of science and technology to civilization, so he is the first person to defy public opinion and fully support Xuanyue's scientific research and development.
Many people say that he is stubborn and stubborn, and it is clear that there is already a super seminary on the earth to help the earth develop top technology, but he still has to waste a lot of money and manpower to build a so-called "No. 401 Research Institute".
In the face of these rumors, Luo Lao ignored them, but continued to support Xuan Yue silently while withstanding the pressure exerted by all parties.
Because the old man has always been very clear in his heart a simple truth: only what he makes out is truly his own.
"Moon boy, I might be leaving."
Sitting on the steps, the old man suddenly spoke softly, with a warm smile on his face, and said with a smile: "I have come to say goodbye to you." ”
The warm afternoon breeze was blowing slowly, and the old man was smiling happily, and the loneliness of his life about to go to sunset did not appear in him, but showed a touch of calm like a breeze.
He has lived for more than 80 years, witnessed the rise and fall of the times, and fulfilled his responsibilities, and he has no regrets......
“......”
Hearing this, Xuan Yue was silent for a while before she asked softly, "Can you not leave?" ”
His voice was as cold as usual, but the old man could hear the reluctance in his voice, he shook his head, and said, "It's time to go, the time has come." ”
"Don't you think about it again?"
"Birth, old age, sickness and death, there must be someone to stick to the ideas of the old times."
Without waiting for Xuan Yue to finish speaking, the old man smiled to himself: "Do you know, Moon boy, before I met you, I never thought that one day, we Huaxia could have our own future. ”
"In the past, we put the war on land, thinking that whoever had the strongest tank corps would be able to defend his country; Later, when the war was fought at sea, we thought that whoever had the largest fleet would be able to defend his country; Then, the war went to the sky again, and we thought that whoever had the most powerful fighter would be able to defend his country......"
The old man smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and sighed: "But now, the war has reached an invisible world, and we have been chasing after it for so many years, but now we can't even find the direction of the enemy, do you think it's ridiculous?" ”
"......" Hearing these words, Xuan Yue's expression was a little silent.
"Actually, Lao Du is not bad, the college has indeed made a lot of contributions to Huaxia over the years, and I know these in my heart."
The old man let out a long sigh, and then smiled: "I'm old, if I can, I also want to enjoy a few days of Qingfu, and it seems that it's not bad to leave all this to Lao Duguan, and then you will show up......"
"Six years ago, you suddenly ran up to me with a feather and told me that this feather would be the future of Huaxia, do you know how dumbfounded I was at that time?"
The old man said with a smile, but Xuan Yue looked away a little embarrassed, at that time, in order to quickly accumulate scientific and technological heritage, he could only choose to take the fastest shortcut, so there was such an abrupt scene.
"I don't know why, I inexplicably believed you at that time, and then, Huaxia had its own dark energy drive technology, and also had its own genetic engine, [Heart of Earth] ......"
"Old man, I'm sorry, I used hypnosis to hypnotize you at the beginning." Speaking of this, Xuan Yue's expression was a little gloomy.
"I don't blame you."
The old man looked calm, and said with a smile: "If you hypnotize me, you can make Huaxia have more children like you, then you might as well hypnotize me a few more times, so that the people of Huaxia can really live a good life and don't have to worry about it anymore." ”
Then the old man began to say with a straight face: "Moon boy, your actions this time are too big, and some people in the country have a lot of opinions about your actions, especially those who support the academy faction. ”
"I know."
Xuan Yue nodded, he naturally knew that his unscrupulous behavior of dropping weapons of mass destruction into various cities and towns in China without applying for permission from anyone would touch the sensitive nerves of many people, but in order to supplement the real-time combat power that could be relied on, there was no way to do it.
"If you know it, then I'll be at ease."
The old man clapped his hands, pressed his hands on his knees, and struggled to get up from the steps, the old man smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Before I left, I have arranged for Xiao Huang to help you, he is cautious and modest, has profound qualifications, and is my most powerful assistant, if there is anything in the future, you can discuss with him more." ”
"Luo Lao, can you think about it again?"
Xuan Yue spoke again, wanting to keep the old man.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death, it is common sense of people, I am old, you kid let me be stubborn and willful again."
The old man turned his back to Xuan Yue, waved his hand at him, and then leaned over and disappeared from Xuan Yue's field of vision.
"The rest of the way, you can go down for me."
