Annihilation of the solar system

Qingwen helped Zhou Cheng sort out the vegetables he bought and asked curiously:

"Why did you suddenly buy so many ingredients?"

"In the past, our nation had a very important lunar festival called the Spring Festival, which is the first day of the New Year. The night before the Lunar New Year is called New Year's Eve, and the dinner on this day will be particularly sumptuous. Thinking of this, I feel more

I bought some. If there are too many, you can also invite Lao Lu and others over." Zhou Cheng replied.

Qingwen raised the corners of her mouth and asked with a smile:

"Is this New Year's Eve coming soon?"

Zhou Cheng smiled slightly and said:

p

"We no longer use the lunar calendar, and I haven't studied the calendar carefully. So I'm not sure when New Year's Eve falls on this year, but it should be some time after the New Year. However, it just makes sense.

Oh, by the way. Lao Lu asked me to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow to see if I can bring back some game. That is a taste that a molecular synthesizer cannot simulate."

"I know, I know! Food made by molecular synthesizers has no soul." Qingwen said playfully.

"Haha, you're right. Just wait until you try my cooking skills from six and a half centuries ago." Zhou Cheng said with a smile.

On the early morning of the second day, before dawn, Zhou Cheng went out. But he did not go to find Rutte, because the so-called "hunting" did not exist at all. He went straight to the aircraft parked in the suburbs.

Before starting, he took another look at the moonless night sky.

There is a shallow halo of light on the edge of the slightly bright sky, like pouring beaten egg liquid into clear water. Although it is very thin, it is still clearly visible. It is 650 light-years away.

Earth's twilight line. The afterglow of the supernova explosion of the parent star.

Zhou Cheng piloted the spaceship back to his residence in the Eternal City. There was a bag outside the door, which was the custom-made clothes he had made on the way back. After entering the house and changing clothes, he glanced at himself in the mirror.

Then he went out and left.

Then, he flew the aircraft to a cafe next to a fountain square. After sitting down, he carefully scanned the surroundings and found nothing unusual, and then he felt relieved.

Not long after, Can Ning walked in. When he saw Zhou Cheng, his eyes flashed with surprise:

"Oh, Zhou Cheng. You look so beautiful in this outfit! Even I am almost ashamed of myself. I saw on the news a while ago that you have made many breakthrough contributions in science and technology. At that time, you were still

1 The suits and leather shoes of the era before me. What, do you want to change your lifestyle?"

:

Zhou Cheng glanced around again and said with a helpless tone:

"Don't mention it. I've had enough of all the trouble and effort to make those things, and in the end, people are still holding up slogans to protest."

Canning chuckled and said:

"It will take some time to adapt to this era, not to mention that you come from an earlier era than me. But judging from your appearance now, you can adapt much faster than I did back then."

Zhou Cheng flipped his delicate collar and shook his head and said:

"Forget it. It seems that technology has become inferior in this era. I'll just write my detective suspense novel. By the way, have you brought me what I want?"

Canning handed over a box:

"Brought it."

"Is it customized according to my requirements?" Zhou Cheng said while looking through the contents of the box.

"Don't worry, the specifications, size, and functions are all customized on the Internet of Things strictly according to your requirements. Several parts are also customized according to your requirements by several friends," Canning said.

Zhou Cheng took out a small bag from his pocket and handed it to Canning:

"Thank you so much."

Canning took the bag, took out the moonstone, and held it in front of him with two fingers. Under the light, the gem was surrounded by circles of rainbow-like luster.

"Oh my God! If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that there really are such brilliant gems in the world!"

Then he put the gem back into the bag and asked again:

"Are you really willing to give it to me?"

Zhou Cheng put the box that Can Ning gave him under the table and said calmly:

"What's the point of not giving up? Didn't we agree? You do me this favor and I'll give you the moonstone."

"I think the things you want are of no use in this era. You still do it so mysteriously. I really don't understand. I'm just curious. You don't have to answer me." Canning rubbed the moonstone on his dress.

said the bag.

Zhou Cheng said calmly:

~&

"This is not a secret, it's just the material for my detective suspense novels. Some plots are not easy to use with thought experiments alone, and must be supplemented with props. As for why you need to customize them separately, it can be regarded as trading with agents from the pre-god era.

A mysterious and exciting experience.”

Canning smiled and said:

"Hey, it seems that I have become a part of your inspiration material. It's good. I'm looking forward to your novel. Please let me know as soon as you finish it!"

"no problem."

"Okay, I won't tell you any more. I still have a party waiting for me. If you have anything to do, come to me. If nothing happens, we can also get together. I recently met a group of new friends who engage in performance art. Maybe we can also

To provide you with writing inspiration!”

"Okay, thank you, see you later."

After Canning drove his supercar in, Zhou also picked up the box and stood up to leave. He saw that his shadow on the floor-to-ceiling window was almost the same as the other people around him, and then he relaxed his vigilance and strode away.

Zhou Cheng returned to his residence first, put on the moon bracelet, and then drove the spaceship straight to the westernmost end of the Eternal City. When he was still some distance away from the no-fly zone of the first sentry tower in the city, he let the spacecraft

Then we reached an open space on the ground.

He took out a guitar case and put it on his shoulder. After closing the door of the spacecraft, he took a closer look at the figure in the glass cockpit that he was not familiar with, and then turned and walked towards the distant sentry tower.

.

Zhou Cheng did not walk straight towards the sentry tower, but walked in a winding way. His pace was very slow and his gait was a bit lazy. When passing some exquisite landscapes or sculptures, he also walked

I will stop and appreciate it carefully.

pp

Sometimes he even takes out his guitar from the box and plays a short section. From a distance, he looks like an ordinary citizen in the Eternal City, struggling to find inspiration for creation and performance, but his eyes are as careful as a scout's.

Searching everything around.

After making a big circle, Zhou Cheng bypassed the few landscape maintenance robots and arrived in front of the no-fly zone. After taking a long breath, he wiped the sweat from his palms on his exquisite clothes. This

What he was most worried about did not happen on the way. There was indeed no one in this area.

Then, he strode towards the sentry tower not far away. When he arrived at the entrance under the tower, after the security system scanned his biological characteristics, the AI ​​voice said:

"Welcome, Mr. Zhou Cheng. Please indicate your intention."

"Examination of experimental data for weapons system upgrade modules."

"Authorization passed, I wish you a happy work!"

Zhou Cheng stepped on the glass-like elevator to the top of the tower. He looked around for four weeks. Under the bright sunshine, the Eternal City in the distance shone brightly, and the magnificent dam behind him stood silently in the huge valley. Under the tower

The Yangtze River flows quietly in the direction of the original city, and there is nothing in the sky as far as the eye can see except a few clouds.

After staring like this for a while, he put down the guitar case on his shoulder, turned around and walked up to the weapons bay at the top of the tower containing the heavy nuclear fusion directed bomb.
