Get out of the subway station and walk east for ten minutes, and you will see my sister-in-law’s house.

"...Really leaving Earth? You are the only seedling in your family! If you are my son, I will definitely scold you!"

No accident, My sister-in-law was teary and very reluctant, and said a lot of words to keep her.

In the face of these relatives who care about him, Zhang Yuan laughed awkwardly, not knowing what to say. He looked out of the window.

My sister-in-law's family lives on the 192th floor. Looking out, you can see the scenery far and far away.

Donghua City is well planned. The outermost ring is the agricultural and industrial zone, and the middle is the urban area. The building is far away from the building to ensure that every household can get the sun.

"It has been planned. If you regret it, you will be deserted and will be severely punished. This is also my father's wish. If he is still alive, he will definitely support me..."

Recalling the countless days and nights of struggle, how can it be possible to give up now?

"Not coming back?"

"Well, not coming back..."

My sister-in-law has red eyes and opened her mouth, speechless.

In order to conceal this sadness, she hurried to the kitchen to cook, wiping her eyes with her sleeves from time to time.

It was the little uncle who was watching TV while licking melon seeds, sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs tilted up.

He said very open-mindedly: "A good man has aspirations in all directions. It is a good thing to go to space, and it is not dead. Your sister-in-law doesn't know what is sad about you!"

" Watching this news, if it’s not for getting older and not enough knowledge, I would like to sign up!"

The sound of the TV is very loud, and a documentary about "Earth Era" spaceship is playing on the screen, what? "Witness history", "Restart a new civilization", "Mankind first" and other rhetoric made my little uncle overwhelmed by emotions, and I want to go to the stars for a while.

"Ai, I’m getting older, if I’m as young as you."

After half an hour, the dishes are ready and the atmosphere on the table is a bit silent. My sister-in-law kept Zhang Yuan to eat a little more, saying something strange, such as "you can go on the road if you are full" and "you can't eat chicken, duck and fish when you go to space".

In order to reduce the concerns of relatives, Zhang Yuan took the initiative to talk about his future plans.

"...In addition to some routine maintenance work on spaceship, there is a lot of personal time. Therefore, I plan to learn a little more knowledge before hibernation. It is best to complete the master's degree and Academician courses..."

"Is there a teacher in spaceship?"

"Of course there are, there are half a million people in it! Most people have a skill, better than mine Higher education."

"And there are many talents, such as professors in universities, high-level engineers in companies, etc. These experts are very difficult to deal with... even academicians. People!"

My sister-in-law nodded, sighed: "You have a good idea. People still have to live to grow old and learn. Xiaoqing, did you hear that? If you don’t study, there is no way at all. To gain a foothold in this society, you need knowledge no matter what you do! It’s not the old days anymore..."

The girl sitting next to Zhang Yuan, Ye Qingqing, the daughter of my aunt’s family, was suddenly caught At the end of the education, I could not help curl one's lip.

Although Zhang Yuan is not a top genius, he is also a model of hard work and a good student in the eyes of his relatives. Of course, Ye Qingqing is upset that she always compares with the "good child".

She retorted in a voice that only she could hear: "I don't need trigonometric functions to sell a dish..."

Ye Qingqing actually doesn't dare Refute loudly, for fear of being heard by my own father, and then be reprimanded.

The era has evolved to the present, and the anti-intellectual rhetoric that "learning is useless" has long been abandoned by the people.

For a simple comparison, the per capita income of the staff in the major space cities and moon bases is about 600,000.

The average income of Xia Country is about 60,000.

The average income of the two is ten times different!

Xia Country is already a very rich country on Earth.

If you don’t study, sorry, you won’t be able to go to space, so you have a "high probability" to be a low-income earner.

All in all, in the eyes of ordinary persons, working in a space city or a lunar base is a very decent thing.

"By the way, when will you enter hibernation? It is not said on TV that the overwhelming majority of the sailing time will be spent in hibernation, and the average awake time of a person is not more than ten years..."

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, "This... depends on personal ability. If you have outstanding ability, you can apply to enter hibernation later. Ordinary person will probably enter hibernation after Jupiter supplies. A hundred years, wake up for a few years, and then go into hibernation again. Everyone takes turns to work, so as to survive this difficult time."

"It will take three thousand years to reach the destination."

"Three thousand years."

My sister's eyes are red again. By then, they would have died long ago and there are no bones left.

Who knows what will happen in the future, no one will think about what will happen three thousand years later.

The younger brother-in-law also sighed: "Hey, let's eat, let's eat first."

Zhang Yuan sighed with emotion.

Every astronaut has to face such a choice, they need to abandon their home planet, abandon everything, abandon everything here...

Time is easy to grow old, and the past is hard to find. These half a million of them will become witnesses to Earth's history, witnessing Earth's course of the next three thousand years with their own eyes.

It sounds a kind of cool, but in fact it is a kind of deep cruelty.

They will be abandoned by the entire era.

Some people may question why there are such 500,000 people.

It sounds weird, really weird.

Because... Chao Bacteria doesn't know Hui Shuo, and Han Guo doesn't know Spring and Autumn.

If you don’t get out of Earth, you will never know how big the starry sky is.

To observe Earth from the cosmic scale, you will find that the homeland of mankind is too small and too small, and it makes one feel heart palpitating, as if it can be shattered with a finger.

Just like a hundred years ago, Professor Qi Yuanshan, the founder of the Deep Space Foundation and the father of nuclear fusion, issued a shocking cry: Aerospace and aviation, what does it matter to interest!

The atmosphere is getting more and more silent, and there is only the sound of eating with vegetables. My uncle suddenly said: "Uh, Xiaoqing will have the college entrance examination next year. Is there any good major you can recommend? The one with a good employment situation."

The university Zhang Yuan was admitted to was Z University, which is basically the best school that an ordinary person can pass through hard work. In addition, he had an internship in Space City and knew the specific situation above.

Ye Qingqing lifts the head. She is already in her second year of high school, and she has a rather detached personality and doesn't like to learn much. I know from my usual grades how many catties and how many taels, and I don’t expect myself to be admitted to a particularly good university.

In her mind, not reading is great liberation, as long as not reading is a relaxed and happy life.

Even if you really go to the vegetable market to sell vegetables, it is better than reading.

Zhang Yuan thought for a while: "It depends on her interest to choose a major."

My sister-in-law said somewhat sorry: "She also has no special interest in hobby..."

p>

This kind of thing is normal. In the second year of high school, the overwhelming majority did not know what they should be doing in the future, nor did they have a particularly complete life plan.

Anyway, the teacher's parents let them learn, they will learn obediently and honestly. Only when they fill in their volunteers do they rush to spend a few days to plan their lives.
