Li Yao thought about it, "many problems caused by transcending the time line." this explanation really fits his own situation.

"It seems that it's true. When I came back to the United States and saw something like" biography of Li Yao "and" biography of Ding lingdang ", I felt alienated. It was clearly not my wife and myself in my memory! Now so many familiar and strange friends and relatives appear in front of me, this feeling is more and more intense

Li Yao said with emotion, "I finally understand why the ancient Yuanying and Huashen were called" old monsters. ".

"Naturally, they can't really live forever, but if they practice some rough hibernation techniques and find a place suitable for hibernation, it's not surprising that they will be closed for hundreds of years? It's just like what elder GUI said. He gradually changed from a "crawling clan" to a "Leaping clan", with a different moral concept and understanding of life from ordinary people.

"The ancients didn't have such a concept as" time-out syndrome ", and they didn't know how to psychotherapy and counseling. They worshipped power and worshipped these old monsters as gods.

"How can these old monsters of the" leap tribe "rule the civilization of the" reptile tribe "without problems? Perhaps the collapse of the ancient world 40000 years ago was more or less related to this event.

"Now, what should we do?"

Li Yao holds Ding lingdang's hand under the dining table.

It's like the two of them jumped out of the water at the same time in the long river of time, and evolved their fins into wings, but they haven't yet figured out how to adapt to the new environment. They are clumsy and nervous. Only by joining hands with each other can they forge ahead?

Ding lingdang gently responded to the power of his palm and said: "so now the federal officials do not support large quantities of long-term hibernation. Each generation has its own responsibility. If all the elites of this generation hibernate for a long time to" support the future ", who will build the present and who will guarantee that when these hibernators wake up, Is there a future that they can support, not a scarred, dead end?

"Without the present, where is the future? Li Yao, I remember that's what you said. "

Li Yao pondered for a moment and nodded.

When Ding lingdang said this, he also felt that it might not be a good thing for a civilization living in continuous time to choose long-term hibernation for a large number of outstanding individuals.

Ding lingdang said: "of course, the federal government can't force a person to hibernate. Now, on the one hand, it's propaganda. On the other hand, it's mainly regulated by taxation. It will impose a high amount of" inheritance tax "and" interest tax "on hibernators. The tax is so high that even Yuan Ying feels frightened. Finally, it has curbed the" hibernation trend "to an acceptable level."

After a pause, she quickly added, "of course, if it's for the sake of a national strategic plan, or before the promulgation of the" interpretation of the hibernator tax law and related regulations, "people who have entered hibernation will be exempted."

Li Yaomo rubbed his chin: "that makes sense. What about those of us who wake up from long-term hibernation?"

"There are indeed some means of psychotherapy and counseling. When the situation stabilizes in a few days, they will arrange it for you - they also arranged it for me at the beginning, but --"

Ding lingdang hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's very effective. You and I are all close to the spirit. The mind of Tao has long been so strong that it can't be any stronger. It's hard for the demons to be eroded, but all kinds of external counseling and treatment methods can't penetrate into our hearts!

"According to GUI, hibernation is like a drug addiction. Once you hibernate, you will catch it and never return to the past state. You always want to cross the time line again. After going there for a long time, you can see the earth shaking and completely different world. In this way, you will jump further and deeper, and finally complete the transformation of the" leap clan. ", He became a time traveler.

"In a word, for hibernators, life is no longer" at the moment "and" here ", but" in the future "and" on the other side ". Maybe only at the end of time can they... Really live."

Everyone at the table was silent, and the original cheerful atmosphere became a little stiff and heavy.

Li Yao tilted his neck to think for a long time, and said, "how about you, would you like to be a 'reptile' or a 'leap'

"I..."

Looking at all the relatives and friends on the table, Ding lingdang's eyes suddenly turned red. Biting his lips, he said, "I don't want to give up everyone, I don't want to give up Xingyao Federation, I don't want to give up my past self. However, I also want to put everything down and go to the distant future to be a witness of the whole Xingyao Federation and even human civilization, to witness its rise and expansion, To see the infinite sea of stars are all illuminated by the light of human civilization, all waving the Nine Star Dragon flag that moment.

"What would human beings, Federation and civilization look like at that time?

"If I choose to return to the status of reptile, no matter how I practice and upgrade, I will never see that day, so..."

Li Yao understood.

Under the dining table, holding Ding lingdang's hand harder and harder, he seemed to smile with indifference: "it doesn't matter, and I, if you choose to" crawl ", then we will climb slowly every second, every minute. If you want to" leap ", then we will solve all the troubles now, and let's leap to the mysterious future together!

"Master..."

Wu Ma Yan and Xie An'an are choking. They hide the wetness of their eyes by holding the wine cup.

"No, it's not for me today. How can I say that the atmosphere is so awkward, as if I'm going to die?"

Li Yao scratched the back of his head and waved his chopsticks, "don't worry, no matter when and where we" leap ", we will never forget the Federation and all of you!

"Travel is only when you remember your hometown and the way home. If you don't even remember your relatives and friends in your hometown and the way home, it's a time traveler. At most, it's just a time wanderer.

"What's more, crawling clan and leaping clan are only preliminary ideas. Now the hibernation technology of the Federation is far from developed enough to make people sleep for ten thousand years. Just a lot of troubles in hand, such as Pangu Nuwa, the Holy Alliance of the Empire, chaotic demons and so on, can't be dealt with in a hundred or eighty years. Ha ha ha, come on, I'll leave the future to worry about. I'll cherish every second of the present. It's important to eat and drink well

Li Yao raised his glass again, and the huge military canteen was filled with laughter again. The boiling atmosphere almost broke the ceiling and rushed to the unfathomable universe illuminated by the stars hundreds of millions of years ago.

……

After all, Li Yao failed to finish the "reception banquet".

Because Bai Kaixin and Jin Xinyue arrived one after another.

After all, this is a time of war. The collapse of the black vortex and the death of its commander do not mean that the black wind fleet has completely lost its combat effectiveness. What's more, no one can predict what kind of crazy things those disabled soldiers will do when they jump out of the wall.

The ancient holy world, the black wind remnant, the black wind fleet behind the brown dwarf, the subtle attitude of the Empire, the exiled government of the Xinghai Republic on board the firefly, and the response of the Federation itself... All aspects need to be handled carefully and carefully.

Bai Kaixin and Jin Xinyue are busy with military affairs, and they are still pursuing the remnants of the Heifeng fleet. Li Yao understands and supports them very much, so they don't have to rush back in a hurry. Anyway, they have been waiting for 100 years, and they don't care about waiting for another three or five days, ten days and a half months.

What's more, the communication technology is so advanced these days that it's the same to say directly in the biography of Linghe.

But they went back to the base, front and back.

And as like as two peas, driven to distraction, the two faces are almost alike.

Bai Kaixin was the first one to arrive. When he said that there was something urgent to discuss with Li Yao and was invited to the secret room by Li Yao and Ding lingdang, the first thing he did was to "gudu gudu" to pour down a whole bottle of 30-50-year-old wine.

Li Yao and Bai Kaixin have known each other for many years. When he was lost in the flying star world, the first friars he knew were Lei continental and Bai Kaixin of the "big horn Armor Division".

Lei mainland is careless, like he doesn't care about anything; Bai Kaixin is a kind of military and staff talent with delicate mind, extremely calm and quite standard.

Li Yao and Bai Kaixin have experienced many bloody battles of life and death together, and even uncovered the mystery of his life together in the underground battle castle of spider nest star, which made him and his biological father "the king of star thieves" recognize each other. Naturally, their friendship is extraordinary.

But Li Yao has never seen Bai Kaixin so out of control, so drunk.

The war in the sea of stars is not over yet. Bai Kaixin is the chief of staff of the Liaoyuan fleet. Even if he comes back alone, how can he still make himself so out of his wits?

When Bai Kaixin poured the third bottle of wine in one breath, Li Yao finally snatched his bottle: "brother Bai, don't drink now. At least tell us what happened? Isn't the war going very smoothly? There should be no change! "

Bai Kaixin's eyes were frozen for a long time, and then his eyes began to loosen. He put on an expression of bewilderment and chagrin. His two drooping eyebrows drooped lower. After touching his lips and teeth for a long time, he said: "he, he's gone!"

Li Yao and Ding lingdang looked at each other, both of them puzzled: "who's gone?"

"White star sword, commander of the Great White Fleet."

Bai Kaixin youyou said, this sentence is nothing, but the next sentence almost let Li Yao and Ding lingdang spray out the food and wine, "I suspect he is my father, Bai Xinghe, Bai eldest brother!"
