Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

The familiar feeling of falling, the familiar high school classroom when I was eighteen.

The first thing I feel is still the wind blowing from the ceiling fan on the ceiling of the classroom in early summer.

And some small sounds, seemingly in silence, could be heard from time to time like the turning of pages, the moving of tables and chairs, and the stumbling of chalk on the blackboard.

Mo Dao regained consciousness again,

I saw a familiar sight in front of me.

The math teacher in the third year of high school was writing on the blackboard with his back to the students in the classroom.

In the corner next to the blackboard, there is a countdown to the college entrance examination this year.

The end time of the previous life exceeded the limit of so many lives, from early summer to midsummer of that year,

But there is no impact or change. After the first life is over, the time when the next life starts again.

At this moment, Mo Dao paused.

Concentrating in front of me, the countdown that resets to a familiar number and flows downward after crossing zero appears again.

In his previous life, Mo Dao used human hibernation to break through the furthest time he could reach in his life.

It also has no changes or impact on the countdown itself.

After another pause,

Feeling the heart beating with strong vitality in this young body,

It may be due to the influence of body hormones, but Mo Dao, who has lived a long life, seems to have some youthful vitality after a long absence.

Smiling, Mo Dao turned around and faced the back row,

After asking in a low voice, Qin Huaishi, the girl sitting in the row behind him,

"Can I borrow a pencil sharpener?"

The girl seemed stunned for a moment by Mo Dao's words.

But he still lowered his head, rummaged around on the desk, and then handed it to Mo Dao.

Looking at the girl's face, Mo Dao paused, actually took the pencil sharpener and sharpened a pencil.

Because Mo Dao had no special reaction when he regained consciousness in this life.

The most common sight, repeated many times, of Qin Huaishi calling Mo Dao from the back row did not appear.

However, it doesn't seem to matter.

…

This life is probably the one in which Mo Dao has the weakest sense of futility after all his reincarnations.

Although all the traces left in the past decades of life have been completely erased with the coming back,

But the ultimate goal I wanted to achieve in my previous life will not be affected by this.

He has actually obtained the human hibernation technology.

This means that in his long and repeated life,

Finally one thing has completely changed.

He broke through the countdown limit for the first time.

And this matter cannot be erased even if it is repeated.

The breakthrough in human hibernation technology will bring about changes from the previous life to this life, and even every subsequent life.

In this state, even compared to the two lives where he was lazy and pursued nothing, the sense of futility is much weaker.

That day, the first day after a new life here,

Mo Dao didn't do anything special, he just spent the day like this.

…

"...Brother Mo, tell me, what major are you planning to study in the future and what are you planning to do? My dad told me yesterday that if I can't study well, I might as well join the army. The old man also remembered that Once it came out, I was convinced.”

In my senior year of high school, less than two weeks before the college entrance examination, this topic is almost unavoidable.

During the long comeback, my deskmate Fu Hui, who always asked similar questions, became a bit like an NPC in a game that repeatedly read files and repeated some texts.

However, after hearing similar, familiar words in this life, Mo Dao felt much more relaxed.

"Change the world."

This is a somewhat far-fetched and even middle-school remark for a young man.

But Mo Dao just smiled like this, as if he had thought of it on the spur of the moment and said it.

For Mo Dao, what others think has no impact on him.

In this life, my mood may have changed a bit, and I will be more wanton.

"Brother Mo, awesome!"

Fu Hui didn't say anything, he just gave Mo Dao a thumbs up.

Then he came over to answer the question and said,

"How specific?"

"Don't know yet."

Mo Dao smiled and responded again.

"No matter what, I wish you success, Brother Mo."

"Brother Mo, your sudden words made me a little excited. How about I join the army? Then I'll be a special forces soldier or something."

Speaking of middle school,

But the young man has great ambitions and really wants to change the world.

This topic went on for a while,

The young girl Qin Huaishi was still involved,

Qin Huaishi's life ideal has always been very certain.

Throughout this life, Miss Qin Huaishi has always struggled for her ideals.

"So, Brother Mo, which university do you plan to apply for?"

…

For Mo Dao, some things have actually been thought about in a lifetime, or even earlier.

So, what exactly do you do in this life?

At the beginning of this life, some things are basically predictable.

Human hibernation technology has been successfully developed.

When it was successfully developed in the previous generation, there was no need to use it.

But in this life, how could it not be used.

This life must be completely different from many previous lives.

This is destined to be a long life,

According to the extreme estimate of what human hibernation technology can currently achieve.

What I feel in this life is that the actual time spent may be shorter.

But objectively speaking, it may be more than three hundred years.

Mo Dao wants to see the world three hundred years from now.

At the same time, he completed an unfulfilled goal in his previous lives.

He wants to travel across three hundred years to see Proxima Centauri.

Human hibernation technology gave him the possibility to travel to more distant areas before the countdown ended.

For Mo Dao, Proxima Centauri

It actually has no special meaning from beginning to end.

What is truly meaningful is actually a world that has never been reached or seen before.

but,

In order to achieve the goal of this voyage,

It is not enough to simply explore the life path of the institute over and over again based on the hibernation of the human body.

The life of Qiusuo Research Institute has proven that Qiusuo Research Institute alone cannot achieve this.

From the Earth of this era to Proxima Centauri, which is 3.43 light-years away, the gap is far beyond the time that human hibernation technology can make up for.

That is to say,

Whether it is to improve technology or anything else, he must be faster than in the life of Qisu Research Institute.

He must make an optimal solution starting from this moment based on the information he currently has.

…

June 2012.

The college entrance examination that year went on as scheduled and ended successfully.

But Mo Dao did not participate in the college entrance examination in this life.

From a macro scale, the fact that one of the millions of candidates did not take the college entrance examination seems to be just a trivial, small and inconspicuous thing.

But in this life, the trajectory of history and the course of destiny began to deviate again from here.

After three months.

A comprehensive research institute named ‘Quest Research Institute’ was born.

And began to attack everywhere, poaching people like crazy.

Immediately after its establishment, it showed its special place.

For the researcher's generosity and familiarity with each poached researcher, poaching can always hit the mark and always lead to no disadvantages.

The overall goal of the institute ignores the characteristics of short-term interests and even economic interests. In particular, it seems to be an extremely mature operating model, as well as an exaggerated expansion speed.

But at the same time,

In the trajectory of history, far more than this change occurred at the same time.
