The spacecraft began to decelerate after passing the center line of the earth-moon orbit. At this time, Zhou Cheng seemed to see several light spots flashing around. When he turned his head four times to look for it, those light spots had disappeared.

Just as he was wondering, those light spots came closer from the deep space on both sides. As the distance got closer, Zhou Cheng could see clearly that they were several small spacecrafts that he had ridden on the earth.

Similar to.

Several spaceships soon paralleled theirs. No one was piloting the glass cockpit, but various slogans were projected holographically in the space near the spacecraft, and the content shocked Zhou Cheng.

"We don't need intimidation!"

"Leave the bitter cold land and embrace the eternal city!"

"The era of integration of civilizations has arrived, and we must break the last barriers!"

"What are they doing?" Zhou Cheng asked in great surprise.

Xiao Li's tone was much calmer:

"You must have never seen a protest march in the space age! I heard from the older generation that this kind of resistance has existed for centuries. During the period when the protests were the most intense, in the orbit of the earth and the moon,

There were hundreds of such spaceships at the midpoint. Now they are considered few."

Zhou Cheng found it difficult to understand what Xiao Li said:

"Who's protesting, Rain Man or Humanoid?"

Xiao Li laughed once:

"Haha, none of them. The ones who initiated the protest were our compatriots on Earth."

Zhou Cheng was shocked and his voice was a little distorted:

"Humans? What do they have to protest against?"

Xiao Li still said calmly:

"On the surface, it seems to persuade us to give up the hard life on the moon and return to the earth to enjoy the prosperous years brought by technology. But in fact, it is a protest against us spending a lot of resources to maintain deterrence devices on the moon.

Their calculation is that if all the resources and production capacity on the moon are invested in preparations for entering the atomic industrial revolution, the time for entering the next era will be advanced."

Zhou Cheng's fist hit the cockpit glass and made a "bang" sound, and he said angrily:

"How could they be so stupid?"

Xiao Li snorted coldly:

"Huh! In addition to being fascinated by the flowers and the full moon, the deeper reason is probably selfishness."

"Selfish? What do you mean?" Zhou Cheng asked puzzledly.

"You should know that when the molecular industrial revolution was just completed, two deterrence towers were built on the earth, and there were plans to build more follow-up deterrence towers. But within 30 years, one of the towers almost disappeared.

Go to the major crisis of the earth." Xiao Li said.

"Yes, I know. Although the cosmic monitor mechanism was not triggered that time, the out-of-control black hole almost swallowed the earth. Humanoid quickly proposed a plan, and Rainman resolutely implemented it at all costs, and the solution was resolved at the last moment.

Crisis." Zhou Cheng replied.

Xiao Li went on to say:

"From a process perspective, Rain Man and Humanoid did play a key role in resolving the crisis. But from a results perspective, all the deterrent devices on the earth were dismantled, and the subsequent deterrent tower construction plan was naturally cancelled.

Shortly after that, protests against the Moon and our march began and intensified."

~

"Is there no one in charge?" Zhou Cheng asked in a reproachful tone.

Xiao Li sighed:

"No matter what, they were outside the warning zone and did not violate any laws. At that time, there was still a close connection between the earth and the moon. Their parades were not only in space, but also on the moon and the earth.

At that time, it was true that some Space Force soldiers never returned to the moon after arriving on the earth. Therefore, the marshal at that time implemented the isolation decree against all the opinions, cutting off the connection between the earth and the moon, and allowing the moon to be closed and self-contained.

system, and that’s how you see the moon now.”

Zhou Chengcheng wanted to say something. He thought of the indulgent compatriots on earth, and then looked at the young man in front of him who was bound by strict discipline. He suddenly felt like a lump in his throat. An invisible bone-chilling coldness surrounded him, and he unexpectedly

I also couldn’t tell for a while which kind of life human beings really should live.

When the spacecraft reached low-Earth orbit, it was nighttime in the Eastern Hemisphere, and the luster of the Eternal City was like the slowly creeping gilt on a scroll.

"Xiao Li, do you yearn for life on earth?" Zhou Cheng asked.

Although Xiao Li's face cannot be seen, the heartfelt expectations and longing can be heard in his voice:

"Of course I yearn for it! No one doesn't want to live that kind of paradise life. I can't even dream of how wonderful it feels to be able to run on the streets where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. I can only hope that the atomic industrial revolution will come smoothly, and we don't need to be deterred.

Can coexist with them."

As he spoke, the spacecraft began to tremble, and red flames appeared on the bow and began to gradually envelope the entire spacecraft.

"By the way, Professor Zhou. Our spaceship cannot enter the Eternal City. Do you think which section of the city is suitable for me to send you to?"

When Zhou Cheng was hesitating whether to land at the Beehive Prison and drive or go back to the city directly, he saw an inconspicuous bright spot on the dark land to the north far away from the Eternal City. Compared with the Eternal City, that light was

It's really not worth mentioning, but it does exist.

Zhou Cheng recalled that Canning once said that some people who did not want to live in the Eternal City chose to settle outside the city.

"Can you send me there?" Zhou Xiang described the location of the light spot to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li hesitated for a moment:

"It's no problem. I'll send you down first to take a look."

When the spacecraft broke out of the black barrier and dropped below the clouds, Zhou Cheng could already identify from the distributed lights that this was a small town.

The spaceship stopped on the grass not far from the town. Zhou Cheng stepped off the spacecraft. When he was about to take off the bracelet and return it to Xiao Li, Xiao Li said with a smile:

"Professor Zhou, just keep the bracelet. Maybe it won't be long before you go back to the moon again."

Zhou Cheng also stopped what he was doing:

,~Welcome to download

"Okay then, I'll keep it for now."

"By the way, Professor Zhou. We have regulations that you cannot stay on earth for more than 5 minutes without special permission. So, I can't wait for you here." Xiao Li said.

Zhou Cheng smiled and nodded:

"You don't have to wait for me. If you want to go back to the Eternal City, I can find a way on my own. Thank you for your hard work."

"Nothing, see you later!" After Xiao Li said that, he drove the spaceship and disappeared into the night sky.

After taking a few steps, Zhou Chengcheng felt a chill. The spring-like climate in the Eternal City all year round made him almost forget that it was already the last month of the year. It was when the depth of winter was slowly coming, so he just

I was able to wrap myself up in my thin suit and walk quickly towards the town.

Walking onto the not-so-wide streets of the town, the dim street lights swayed in the cold wind. Although he couldn't see the whole picture, the street lights, railings and low buildings on both sides made Zhou Cheng feel like he was back to himself.

The times are normal.

The scene in front of him made Zhou Cheng feel both real and dreamy. The town six and a half centuries ago appeared in the world six and a half centuries later. But his almost frozen hands and feet reminded him that this was not a dream.

.

Zhou Cheng walked along the street for a while. Most of the small buildings on both sides of the street had lights on. And judging from the condensation on the glass, there must be someone in the house. He walked to the door of a small building facing the street.

When I was trembling and hesitating whether to knock on the door of this house or the next door, the door opened by itself.
