After walking out of the subway station and walking east for more than ten minutes, you will be my sister-in-law's house.

"...I really want to leave the earth? You are the only one in your family! If you are my son, I will definitely scold you to death!"

As expected, the little girl was crying and reluctant to let her go, so she said a lot of words to keep her.

Faced with these relatives who cared about him, Zhang Yuan smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say. He turned his gaze out the window.

My sister-in-law lives on the 192nd floor. Looking outside, she can see a very far and far view.

Donghua City has a very good planning location. The outermost ring is the agricultural and industrial zone, and the middle is the urban area. The buildings are very far apart, ensuring that every household can get sunbathing.

"I have planned it, if you regret it, you will be a deserter and will be punished very severely. This is also my father's wish. If he is still alive, he will definitely support me..."

Looking back on countless days and nights of struggle, how could it be possible to give up now?

"I'm not back?"

"Yeah, I won't come back..."

The little girl's eyes were red, she opened her mouth and couldn't speak.

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

However, the little uncle was watching TV while eating melon seeds, and sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

He said very open-mindedly: "A good man is determined to be in all directions. It is a good thing to go to space. It's not dead. Your sister-in-law doesn't know what she is sad!"

"You read this news. If I weren't old and had insufficient knowledge, I would have wanted to sign up!"

The TV sound was very loud, and a documentary about the "Earth Age" spacecraft was being played on the screen, such as "witnessing history", "restarting a new civilization", "human first", etc., which made my uncle excited and wanted to walk into the starry sky and explore.

"Oh, I'm old, I'd be as young as you."

After half an hour, the dishes were ready, and the atmosphere on the dining table was a little silent. My sister kept asking Zhang Yuan to eat more and said something strange, "It's better to go on the road after eating enough", "I can't eat chicken, duck, fish and meat when I 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 daily maintenance work on the spacecraft, there is still a lot of personal time. So, I plan to learn more knowledge before hibernation, and it is best to complete master's and doctoral courses before reaching my destination..."

"Is there a teacher in the spacecraft?"

"Of course there are, there are 500,000 people in it! Most of them have a skill, which is higher than mine."

"And there are many great people, such as professors in universities, senior engineers in enterprises, etc. These experts are all very powerful... and even academicians!"

The little uncle nodded and sighed: "Your idea is very good. People still have to live and learn until they are old. Xiaoqing, have you heard that if you don't learn, you can't gain a foothold in this society. No matter what you do, you need knowledge! It's not the old era anymore..."

The girl sitting next to Zhang Yuan was Ye Qingqing, the daughter of her sister-in-law's family. She was suddenly educated and couldn't help but curl her lips.

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

She whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "I can't use the trigonometric function even if I sell a dish..."

Ye Qingqing actually didn't dare to retort loudly, for fear that her father would hear it and then be scolded.

The times have evolved to the present, the anti-intellectual remarks of "learning is useless" have long been abandoned by the people.

To briefly compare, the per capita income of staff in major space cities and lunar bases is about 600,000.

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

The average income difference between the two is ten times!

Xia Kingdom is already a very wealthy country on earth.

If you don’t study, you’re sorry, you can’t go to space and have a “high probability” to be a low-income person.

In short, in the eyes of ordinary people, working in a space city or a moon base is a very decent thing.

"By the way, when will you enter hibernation? TV does not mean that most of the time during voyage will be spent in hibernation, and a person's average awakening time does not exceed ten years..."

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, "This... depends on personal ability. If you have outstanding abilities, you can apply to enter hibernation later. Ordinary people will hibernate after Jupiter's supply. After a few hundred years of sleep, wake up for a few years, and then hibernate again. Everyone takes a turn to work so that they can survive this difficult time."

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

"Three thousand years."

The little sister's eyes turned red again. By then, they would have died long ago and their bones were gone.

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

The little uncle also sighed: "Hey, let's have dinner, let's have dinner first."

Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart.

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

Time fades away, but the past is hard to find. These 500,000 people will become witnesses to the history of the earth and witness the next three thousand years of the earth.

It sounds like a cool thing, but it is actually a deep cruelty.

They will be abandoned by the entire era.

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

It sounds strange, it's really strange.

Because... the morning mushrooms do not know the new moon, and the cicadas do not know the spring and autumn.

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

Looking at the earth from the cosmic scale, you will find that the human home is too small, so small that it makes people feel palpitations, as if it can be shattered in the blink of an eye.

Just like a hundred years ago, Professor Qi Yuanshan, the founder of the Deep Space Foundation and the father of nuclear fusion, issued a deafening cry: What does aerospace have to do with the interests of the benefit!

The atmosphere became more and more silent, and there was only a sound of picking up food and eating. The little uncle suddenly said: "Uh, Xiaoqing will be taking the college entrance examination next year. Is there any good major that can be recommended? Which one is good at employment situation?"

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

Ye Qingqing raised her head. She was already in her second year of high school. She had a relatively unrestrained personality and didn't like to study. She knew how much she was from her usual grades, and she didn't expect that she could get into a particularly good university.

In her mind, not reading is a great liberation, and as long as you don’t read is a relaxed and happy life.

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

Zhang Yuan thought for a while: "It depends on her interests and choose a major."

The little sister-in-law said a little embarrassedly: "She has no special interests, either..."

This kind of thing is normal. Most people don’t know what they should do in the future when they are in their second year of high school, and they don’t have a particularly complete life plan.
