Chapter 350 Lan and His Brother Separate
y-278 star field.
This is the alphabet star field, which means it is hundreds of light years away from the border of the Federation.
However, this star field is a little special.
It belongs to the Federation and is considered an enclave, at least that's what Lan heard.
"How long have we been sailing?" he asked.
His roommate looked at the time and answered him: "About 2728 years."
"Then my family should be dead." Lan said in a flat tone.
His roommate was silent for a while and said: "Mine too."
Interstellar era.
Every young person yearns for the starry sky.
However, for family members, the starry sky is a place where they can never return. When someone in the family goes to the starry sky, it means that this person will never come back, which is no different from death.
This is suffocating pain.
Modern people call it - Eternal Sorrow
Lan still remembers that a few days before he left, his body would tremble every night because he thought of the fact that he could not return after leaving.
"It's such a long dream, as if the place where I stayed for decades before was just a part of the dream."
"My family is just in the dream, not real."
Lan curled up, his thoughts made him extremely painful.
The roommate came over and patted him.
"Don't think about it, you have a happy family."
"When my family told me that my dream was to go to the starry sky when I was about 7 years old, they began to be indifferent to me."
Lan raised his head and said, "Wouldn't being indifferent be painful?"
His roommate was silent.
He couldn't answer this question.
If you don't care, how can you gradually become estranged?
It should be a state that has been maintained since birth.
This kind of estrangement, this kind of forcing yourself not to love your family, is also a kind of pain.
It's a hidden pain!
"You're right. I saw them when the spaceship took off. They came to see me off."
"My mom and dad both cried. I always thought they were cold-blooded. I lived with them for 80 years. They didn't show any expression to me, but when I left, they still cried."
"I cried too."
"Sometimes I hate that I was born in this civilization because this civilization is too sentimental, and sentiment makes people feel the greatest pain in their lives."
Lan thought he was the only one who felt this way, but after listening to his roommate's words, he realized that everyone would feel this way.
That kind of pain is hard to describe and hard to share.
This is brought by time!
"I've heard that the Federation is trying its best to develop super-hedge biological transfer. Now, in theory, living organisms can be transported at the speed of light."
"I hope we can wait until super-hedge biological transfer is realized in our lifetime." Lan said expectantly.
He felt that he was born at the wrong time. If he was born thousands or tens of thousands of years later, perhaps the Federation's technology could solve these problems.
People in every era will have this feeling.
"In fact, super-hedge biological transfer can already transfer people, but you need to apply, and you need a lot of money, and you have to bear the consequences yourself."
The roommate's words gave Lan some ideas in his mind.
At this time, a voice sounded outside. It was the crew of the spacecraft calling everyone out for dinner.
Lan said to his roommate: "I don't know what you call me yet. My name is Lan."
The roommate said: "Ge Xichari Adrumonikodifen, my friends like to call me Gefen, they think my name is too long."
Lan listened and didn't remember it.
He nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
The two of them walked out of the room of about 8 square meters together. There were two floors in the room. The first floor was a leisure area, and the second floor was an area for freezing chambers. It was not narrow for the two of them. After all, it was about 14 square meters, which was more than the 8-person dormitory of the 21st century school.
This is the regular configuration of interstellar travel, and the Federation has regulations in this area.
The metal sliding door opened automatically, and the two walked out of the room, and then there was a corridor about 10 meters wide and about 12 meters high. There were people of all races, and everyone was heading in the same direction.
Finally, they walked into a hall. It was very big, with 10 standard football fields.
Standing here, the ground began to automatically raise seats, and then everyone started to eat.
There was basically no order here. Everyone was not a soldier, but just a worker.
There were about 20 floors in a space like this, and there were about 3,000 people on each floor, which means that the ship transported a total of 60,000 people.
Sitting in the seat, Lan connected to the camera on the ship to look at the starry sky outside.
However, the starry sky was blocked by hundreds of similar ships.
The words "Mortas Sky Construction Interstellar Company" were printed on the surface of the ship.
"There's nothing to see. It's about 0.3 light years away from entering the star system. It will take about 2 and a half years for us to get off the ship." Brother said.
The reason why everyone was called up in advance was to recover their bodies.
There is also training and learning.
After arriving at the new star field, everyone needs training because they are arriving in a new environment.
At this time, order and the allocation of workstations are the most important.
Lan looked at it, and suddenly a window popped up on the screen.
[The company has sent you a group of documents including daily regulations, work content, virtual learning packages, etc. Please receive them]
Lan was thinking about receiving them in his mind, and the files had already been stored in his secondary brain.
Retrieving the information saved in the secondary brain, Lan looked carefully.
"I am assigned to assemble the shell, what about you?" he asked Gefen.
Gefen sighed: "Same."
"This is a high-risk job. After all, we are very close to the stars."
Lan said: "It's okay. Although we are going to outer space, we can only operate it by remote control robots at most, and we don't need to do it ourselves."
"Besides, the salary is much higher than other positions, 210, and there is a subsidy of 2 energy coins per day."
Added together, it is 270 energy coins a month.
Lan could only get 38 energy coins a month working in his original star city.
"It's really good, but it's not without life-threatening dangers. After all, it's a star. When a gust of wind blows, it will kill us."
"Do you think our control device can withstand the high temperature of hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius?"
Stellar winds will blow the corona, and the temperature of the corona is usually between hundreds of thousands and millions of degrees Celsius.
"High return, high risk, I think it's okay."
"After all, aren't we here to make money?"
"Compared to being an explorer, at least this job is more stable and safer."
The brother agrees with Lan's statement, but he is always a pessimist, and such a dangerous place will make him uncomfortable.
But thinking that his first friend Lan has the same workstation as himself, he thinks it's actually okay.
After the meal, the two returned to the room, and then entered the virtual world to start training their work content.
It was all very boring.
Time passed quickly.
Their destination was right in front of them.
