Epoch of Twilight

Luo Yuan got up and put on his clothes, glanced at Zhao Yali who was still sleeping in Haitangchun on the bed, smiled at the corner of his mouth, left the room, gently closed the bedroom door, and walked to the street.

The lights in the street have been dimmed, making it feel like night.

It's already June, and the crowds on the streets have become increasingly sparse and empty, with only one or two pedestrians passing by in a hurry, adding to the loneliness.

Since May, the dormant room has been built, and batch after batch of people have entered dormant state one after another.

Up to now, almost all factories have been closed, production has stagnated, and the entire spaceship seems to have calmed down suddenly, and there is no such lively atmosphere as before.

Rescue ships for space behemoth harvesting have returned, and asteroid mining to replenish resources has come to a successful conclusion.

The spaceship has made all the preparations for the voyage, and the reason why it didn't leave is only because there are still six days before the nearest "good day and auspicious day".

Whether it is Luo Yuan or the staff who made this plan, they should not be superstitious, but under tremendous pressure, this kind of illusory psychological comfort sometimes plays a role in boosting confidence.

Of course, not all of them will go into hibernation.

In addition to the essential spaceship-related operation and maintenance personnel and a considerable number of government personnel, all scientists, engineers and some technical workers will spend the long voyage soberly, and they will enter the virtual world to continue the R\u0026D and manufacturing work of science and technology. .

Now the virtual world has been fully built and debugged, and a beautiful and sci-fi city has stood on the original deserted island. Most of the laboratories have settled in these few days and started to adapt.

The busiest period has ended, and Luo Yuan suddenly felt empty when the spaceship was approaching the voyage.

Ever since he was a child, even in his craziest dreams, Luo Yuan never imagined that in his lifetime, he and all the human beings involved in the earth would leave the earth and the solar system. This feeling was like the first time he left his familiar hometown and went to unfamiliar city.

This is a feeling of hesitation and unreliability.

Luo Yuan sighed and shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to expel this inexplicable emotion from his mind.

For the past two months, he has made a special trip to Venus every other day.

His physical strength has started to grow again, but the increase is not much. From the original 500 tons to the current 550 tons, it has only increased by about one-tenth. The center of gravity lies in the tempering of the domain, but the perception has improved even more, and the diameter has reached 800 meters.

The perceived value on the attribute panel has also increased from seventeen to eighteen points, which can be described as rapid progress.

If he stood in the center of the spaceship, his perception could cover the entire spaceship, and everyone's every move could not be hidden from his eyes, but he was not a voyeur, and under normal circumstances, he would not pay special attention to those small things.

As for the full blow in the field, it is even more powerful and terrifying. Compared with the first attempt, it has increased several times, and it already has the demeanor of a human-shaped nuclear bomb.

...

The streets in the spaceship residential area are not long, and after a few minutes of walking, they have already reached the end. Luo Yuan did not intend to continue walking, and turned to walk towards the city hall.

"You've become more and more lazy recently, arriving late and leaving early every day, and often absent." After seeing Luo Yuan, Chen Xinjie complained a little.

"Your tea-making skills are getting better and better." Luo Yuan took a sip of tea and continued: "The current administrative system is inherited from the past. Originally, each took care of it. I think they are too lazy. What? I have to make decisions, and I don’t want to shoulder any responsibilities, so what do I need them for?”

Luo Yuan scolded with a smile, what he said was really guilty. Since he took this position, because no one can check and balance him, he has completely monopolized the power.

Under such circumstances, everyone is trembling, especially after the successive clean-ups in the past few years, those thorns who dared to stand up have been mercilessly eliminated due to various problems, and the ones left now are even more cautious. be cautious.

Chen Xinjie didn't comment on this, no matter how close she was, she didn't dare to say more about this kind of matter.

"By the way, have you thought it over? Do you decide to sleep or stay awake?" Luo Yuan didn't talk too much on this topic, and immediately changed the topic and asked?

After the spacecraft voyages, most activities will stop, so a considerable number of civil servants will go into a dormant state. Of course, as the service secretary next to Luo Yuan, Chen Xinjie is not on this list, but as long as he is willing, it is only a matter of one sentence .

"I've thought about it, let's wake up, what's the point of living a few more years through hibernation? I don't want to sleep for twenty years, and I feel scared even thinking about it, as if I'm dead." Chen Xinjie shook her head and said.

Dormancy phobia exists in many people. After all, very few people can accept 20 years of dormancy. If it is not compulsory, I am afraid that very few people choose to dormancy.

"That's up to you, but when you wake up, don't regret it compared to other people's still youthful appearance." Luo Yuan smiled.

"At that time, you can also change to a secretary!"

Luo Yuan couldn't help but smiled wryly, and turned to wonder: "What's wrong these few days, I always feel that your mood is a little abnormal!"

Chen Xinjie didn't speak, and was silent for a while, before a shocking news broke out: "I'm pregnant!"

"What!" Luo Yuan was taken aback for a moment, but then he was surprised and delighted: "Really? When did it happen!"

Chen Xinjie looked at the happy expression on Luo Yuan's face, and snorted coldly: "It's not yours, why are you happy? The one in my stomach is a clone, and I went to the hospital to do it last week!"

Luo Yuan's face was stunned. He really shouldn't have hoped for this. His genes have already broken away from the definition of human beings, and he has lost the possibility of natural reproduction. However, even so, he was still slightly disappointed.

He was stunned for less than half a second, then quickly adjusted his emotions, and said softly: "What is not mine, this child belongs to both of us, clones are born geniuses, if we educate well, maybe we will become a child in the future Great scientist."

"I don't want him to be a scientist. It's too tiring. As long as he likes, I will support whatever he does." Seeing that Luo Yuan's statement did not seem to be fake, Chen Xinjie felt relieved, and his cold face soon melted away. , she gently touched her stomach, and said softly.

She knew why she attracted Luo Yuan. It was not love, but her appearance. However, the beautiful face will fade with time. When the color is gone, she may not be abandoned, but she will never let her He stays for a long time.

Because she has always wanted a child to be the bond between the two, but has never been successful. It is difficult for two ordinary people to give birth naturally, not to mention that the other party is the most powerful evolutionary. become her only choice.

She originally thought that Luo Yuan would not be able to accept it, but she has been slow to say it, but now it seems that the result is better than imagined.
