I will tell your mother!

Zhang Yuan took out his phone, clicked on the self-service taxi app, and input his destination through voice input.

"The destination is Donghai City, with a mileage of approximately 412 kilometers."

"Searching for carpool objects, please wait."

A radar like pattern is rotating.

This intercity bus costs less than 60 yuan per person to carpool for 10 people, which is very cost-effective.

It quickly reached the high-altitude track between cities, with a speed of up to 400 kilometers per hour. This speed is no longer beyond the control of ordinary humans, so it is necessary to strictly maintain the distance through unmanned means.

There was once a fool who wanted to show off his driving ability in front of his partner and switched to manual driving in a non emergency state, but the result... of course, it was gray. The car crashed into a high rail railing at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour, leaving no organs intact throughout the body.

It is the railing made of carbon nanotubes that remains undamaged in car accidents, making the safety of high-altitude orbit well-known.

An hour later, he got off the bus and Zhang Yuan took the subway again to reach his destination.

"You're really on time, you didn't come a minute early! "Li Zhendong opened the door."

"I slept in the massage parlor, so I was a bit late."

"Tsk tsk, that's a great place for sexual encounters to happen! "Li Zhendong had a livestock expression on his face. This group has been staying in the Space City for a long time, and their whole bodies are like dry firewood, as if they can rub and heat up as soon as they come into contact with the opposite sex, burning a raging flame.

Zhang Yuan said unhappily, "Please, these are all aunties. Where did they come from? Do you have such bad taste? Can you stop talking to me about these things as soon as you meet."

"Zhang Yuan! "Li Zhendong's eyes suddenly became serious, as if something was brewing.

"Why? "Zhang Yuan let his back cool.

Li Zhendong looked excited and waved his phone, "I've been talking to a girl these days. Maybe some stories can happen... Take a look at the photos, they're still very good."

"Is that right?"

Upon taking a look at the phone, the avatar looked like a very cute girl, with a pouting mouth and a white and tender complexion.

Chat records:

Female: Do you have a high salary

Li Zhendong: Not too high. Money is not of much use to us, mainly because we have a happy life

[Spaceship photo]

[Li Zhendong's Entire Body Suspended Photo]

Female: Space is also so fun! I always dream of going to space, but unfortunately the travel cost is too expensive

Li Zhendong: How could it be fun to risk your life doing this job? In an environment without gravity, you can choke to death by drinking water. There are really cases like this

Female: Is your father also a worker in Space City

Li Zhendong: Of course, but I never rely on my father. I passed the exam myself

[... (omitting ten thousand words for flirting with girls)]

Li Zhendong: Look, I'm getting on a spaceship now. Can you accompany me to a movie? I've grown up and haven't dated before

Female: Aha~Really fake? You don't have a girlfriend

The woman is grinding and chirping, but she hasn't received a formal response yet. However, it seems that she is in a heartbeat.

Li Zhendong beamed and boasted, "I know your buddies are amazing. Should I teach you how to pick up girls? This is the first move, pretending to be pure. Some women like this! They just like virgins."

Zhang Yuan's eyebrows furrowed as he listened.

"There's a second trick, let's play hard to get."

"The third move, the monkey steals the peach."

"What... stealing peaches?"

Li Zhendong's tone became increasingly excited and his voice became louder, "Oh, it's cheating... think about it, even if you have already left the earth, those girls still remember you. In the deepest part of their hearts, they leave a corner for you, where they bury the beautiful time we spent with you."

"One year, ten years, a hundred years, at the moment they died, the last words they uttered were your name... and you were in another place in time and space."

"Don't you think this matter is very meaningful?"

I don't know why, Zhang Yuan's heart was calm and even felt a bit nauseous

Zhang Yuan sighed and said, 'My friend, everything is good, with high intelligence and genius. He is a god level figure who can easily achieve good results.'.

The only downside is... very sulky and boastful.

Zhang Yuan suddenly grinned, "The scumbag."

"I will tell your mother!"

The air fell into a deathly silence.

Zhang Yuan repeated it exactly the same: "... one year, ten years, a hundred years, at the moment they died, is your name the last last word they uttered."

"Li Zhendong! Li Zhendong! Ah, I'm dying."

"Is that what you call it? Are you happy? Are you happy?"

Silence again.

To some extent, Zhang Yuan is also considered a talent.

Li Zhendong also sighed and stared at the ceiling, "I just want to kill you now, really!"

...

Li Zhendong on the dining table is a obedient son who doesn't say a word, just eats silently.

Mother Li was very kind and kept telling Zhang Yuan to eat more. She said that "when we go into space, we can't eat the original meat" and "this big chicken leg is the real local chicken meat", just like what my sister-in-law said.

This is also a fact. The spaceship space is limited and the ecological environment is not very good. It is not a problem to plant some plants, but it is impossible to extravagantly cultivate pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, and fish. So what is eaten in Space City is synthetic meat, which is animal cell tissue in a culture dish.

Li Zhendong's father, Li Cheng, and Zhang Yuan's father are colleagues in Space City.

He is constantly talking about some stories about the design of "Earth Time" in the past.

"Your father Zhang Qiming is really a genius. We can't think of a problem. With a tap on his head and a flick of his pen, he came up with it. It's like taking medicine!"

"Taking drugs? "Zhang Yuan couldn't help wiping the sweat from his face.

"He built most of the control program for the spaceship, and so far only 212 small bugs have been detected. This is really difficult."

"Unfortunately, I left too early, unfortunately... "Li Cheng was in a mixed mood and even drank some wine.

"Is 212 still relatively small?"

"What you don't understand is that the control engineering of the spaceship is ring by ring, layer by layer, and the more complex the system is, the greater the risk is. The Earth Age has more than a dozen subsystems such as security monitoring system, energy system, ecosystem, material circulation system, communication system, and a small number of industrial plants. The complexity of control engineering is far beyond your imagination!"

"Software and hardware complement each other, and the difficulty of software does not need to be low on hardware."

Neither of the two young people could answer anything.

After a while, Zhang Yuan asked, "Can't the spaceship go any faster?"

Li Cheng shook his head and said, "The speed of light at seven thousandths is really fast. Unless it is propelled by a high-yield nuclear bomb, it can be faster, and it is expected to reach 3% of the speed of light. However, our materials are far from capable of withstanding the explosive force of a nuclear bomb... and in the foreseeable future, it is impossible to produce materials that are resistant to nuclear bombs."

Li Zhendong also asked, "Dad, will we build the next colonial ship after we leave?"

"No, not in recent years, or even decades... the entire Earth's economic circle needs to rest for a period of time."

"This project is too laborious and costly. Even with the strong support of governments and deep space foundations from various countries, it still requires a period of recuperation before it can slowly recover its vitality."

"Regarding the special aviation tax, there is strong opposition from the public, and several countries are also causing a lot of trouble. It is estimated that it will be cancelled."

Zhang Yuan puzzled and said, "Are we a separate group of deep space colonizers?"

"Not necessarily, as for the future, who knows?"

"The basic deep space navigation technology has matured, and rebuilding a second large colonial ship will not be as expensive as the first one. Perhaps, when the government has free money, it is still possible to launch a second ship."

"However, before the emergence of new technologies, it is difficult to significantly increase the speed of navigation. You should not expect the spacecraft behind you to catch up with you."

Zhang Yuan nibbled on the chicken leg and paused for a moment before deciphering a crucial message: the fat and oily deep space foundation seems to have run out of money.
