Earth Era

No one knew what a major event had happened to Zhao Huasheng in just ten minutes. It was a big ups and downs from hell to heaven, and from heaven to hell again. But Zhao Huasheng's expression remained calm all the time, and there was no fluctuation in his words when he spoke. No one knew what Zhao Huasheng was thinking and what he wanted to do.

Zhao Huasheng left his office and came to another office. There was also a computer in this office, so Zhao Huasheng walked over and sat in front of it, and then pressed the power button.

"What do you want to do?" asked the star man.

"Do some ordinary things and prepare a gift for my fiancée." Zhao Huasheng said lightly, "My work is very busy and I don't have much time to accompany her, so I will record a video so that she can pass it when she misses me. This video to pass the time."

"Don't think about playing tricks," said the star man.

"You have been watching me, and if you find out that I am playing tricks, just punish me directly." Zhao Huasheng said, "I'm sorry, you Xingxing people only have one gender, so you probably can't understand the relationship between our human beings. .”

The star man was silent and did not speak. Zhao Huasheng turned on the computer, randomly put a blank CD into the CD drive, then turned on the camera and started recording himself. These images will be burned to that disc.

As Zhao Huasheng said, Zhao Huasheng really didn't play tricks. Zhao Huasheng just looked at the camera on the computer and smiled faintly, his body remained motionless, he didn't say anything, he didn't make any small movements, he didn't make any expressions or hints in his eyes. After turning on the camera, Zhao Huasheng seemed to have turned into a clay statue. If it weren't for Zhao Huasheng's chest still rising and falling due to his breathing, this would be a completely still picture.

Zhao Huasheng's breathing is also completely normal, neither speeding up nor slowing down. Zhao Huasheng didn't try to convey any information through the frequency of breathing. First of all, Zhao Huasheng didn't understand cryptography, and secondly, even if Zhao Huasheng understood it, he couldn't do it.

Zhao Huasheng smiled at the camera for five minutes. After five minutes, Zhao Huasheng made a move. Zhao Huasheng stretched out his hand and pressed the stop button. So the recording ended, the CD drive was opened, Zhao Huasheng held the CD in his hand, and put it in the box.

"If you have doubts about it, I can record a new one." Zhao Huasheng said.

The star man snorted, but did not speak. Zhao Huasheng ignored it, but casually stuffed the CD into his pocket, and then returned to his office.

After Zhao Huasheng found Mengzhuo and asked Mengzhuo to arrange a mobile phone and a computer for himself, Zhao Huasheng's office returned to normal. Zhao Huasheng still works and rests as usual, and there is nothing abnormal from the outside.

When it was time to get off work, Zhao Huasheng returned home as usual, had dinner with Li Wei, and then watched TV for a while. After ten o'clock, the two said goodbye to each other, and then went back to their own rooms.

During this period of time, the Xingxing people never spoke to Zhao Huasheng again. But the slight itching on Zhao Huasheng's head kept reminding Zhao Huasheng that the star man had been watching him and never left.

Zhao Huasheng didn't give the CD to Li Wei, but just threw it on the table in his room as if he had forgotten about it, and then ignored it again. On the second day, Zhao Huasheng still came to the Institute of Stellar Physics to start a day's work, and then went home, repeating this for five days.

On the night of the fifth day, after saying goodbye to Li Wei, Zhao Huasheng did not fall asleep in a hurry, but tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. At this time, the Xingxing people finally said the first sentence to Zhao Huasheng in a few days: "You don't seem to be normal today."

"You Xingxing people have no gender distinction, you can't understand this feeling." Zhao Huasheng said in a low voice.

"I understand." The star man said, "I said, I understand your human culture. If I guessed correctly, your current state... seems to be related to sex? You ate some lamb during the day, and You ate some other things, I think your current state is probably related to these things you have eaten. At the same time, you and Li Wei have been living together for almost a year, and Li Wei is also in the aesthetic concept of your human civilization. She is a beautiful woman, and in the words of our solar civilization, she has excellent life information. Your life information is also excellent, and I believe that the offspring born from the fusion of the two of your life information must be even better."

"So, why do you still have to endure it?" Said the star man, "The cooperation agreement between us will last your whole life until you die. I don't want your life to become boring, because that will reduce Your desire to survive increases your chances of violating the contract. Only those who cherish life more will abide by the contract."

"You're right." Zhao Huasheng replied, "I really have no reason to endure it any longer."

"Go." The star man's words were full of smiles, "She will not reject you. But even if you start the process of multiplying offspring, I will not relax my surveillance of you. Don't feel awkward, you To know that we are different types of life, watching the process of your reproduction, it seems to me that there is no difference between two ants mating. Or, you can think of me as an ant, I think, you probably won’t Mind if your affairs are seen by an ant."

Zhao Huasheng hummed, got up from the bed, and walked to Li Wei's door. As if mustering up his courage, Zhao Huasheng finally raised his arm and knocked lightly on Li Wei's door.

Li Wei may have just fallen asleep and was awakened, or just fell into a half-dream and half-awake state. After the fourth knock on the door, Li Wei's lazy voice came out: "Watson? What's wrong?"

"I... you... please open the door."

Footsteps sounded in the room, and the door opened a moment later. Li Wei, with her long hair loose and in her pajamas, leaned against the wall and looked at Zhao Huasheng with some doubts, "What's wrong with you?"

Under the soft light of the night lamp, Li Wei seemed to exude a breathtaking light all over her body. Zhao Huasheng looked into Li Wei's eyes full of love, slowly stretched out his arms, and hugged Li Wei tightly in his arms.

This sudden hug made Li Wei feel flustered and surprised. But Li Wei still did not resist, but also hugged Zhao Huasheng, and said softly in Zhao Huasheng's ear: "Huasheng, Huasheng, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm sorry, I can't control myself." Zhao Huasheng whispered.

Li Wei's body froze suddenly, and then two red clouds climbed up her cheeks. At this moment, Li Wei also became at a loss, her tongue seemed to be stiff, and she could no longer speak.

"Let's talk in your room, shall we?" Zhao Huasheng asked.

Li Wei's body seemed to be softening, but she nodded meekly. So the two returned to Li Wei's room, and then fell on the bed...

During the whole process, Zhao Huasheng's eyes were always cold and calm. It seems that Zhao Huasheng has no emotion or desire fluctuations in his heart at all. But Li Wei probably didn't realize this at the moment.

After an unknown amount of time passed, the room finally returned to calm. Zhao Huasheng was lying on the side, and Li Wei was snuggling in Zhao Huasheng's arms like a docile kitten.

Zhao Huasheng's eyes were still calm and cold. In this quiet and sweet darkness, Zhao Huasheng's deep and magnetic voice came into Li Wei's mind.

"Li Wei, do you know? I'm very tired."

Li Wei's strength in holding Zhao Huasheng became stronger, and her voice became more gentle: "Watson, I will always be by your side to accompany you."

Zhao Huasheng did not respond to this sentence, but continued: "I think crazily, do research crazily, I can't sleep all night, but I still get nothing. I don't have superhuman intelligence, I don't have outstanding I'm just an ordinary person. I'm exhausted by all the burden on me, because the difficulty of this matter has far exceeded the scope of my ability to deal with it."

Li Wei faintly sensed that something was wrong with Zhao Huasheng. But what was wrong, she couldn't tell. During the more than a year of dating, although the two of them could not be said to be connected, they also had a lot of tacit understanding, and Zhao Huasheng at this moment made her feel a little weird.

But Li Wei did not speak, but still listened quietly.

"I want to give up all of this and this mission." Zhao Huasheng said quietly, "But...everyone in this world is looking at me, expecting me to make some major discovery, expecting me to solve the sun crisis , can save the entire human civilization from suffering. I think of the Freya family who were frozen to death in the ice and snow, think of those old people who would rather die than stay in their homeland, think of risking their lives on the ice caps of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean Dangerously sustaining the supply line staff in Equator City, thinking of all the people who are struggling at this moment... my heart aches like a knife."

"Li Wei, can you understand me? I want to give up, but I have no reason to give up..." Zhao Huasheng said in pain, "I want to give up, but I can't give up, which makes me feel very painful. "

In the darkness, Zhao Huasheng's eyes were still calm and cold, without any sign of emotional fluctuations.
