Chapter 395

In this way, it has been a hundred years since starting from Riley

On this day, several old friends were gathering in private. In the room, they were basically the first generation of astronauts from the earth, such as Zhang Yuan, Li Zhendong and ye Kaifu. They looked at the magnificent scenery of the universe and lamented the passing of age.

For senior officials like Zhang Yuan, the time of hibernation and awakening is kept at about 3:1, while for ordinary people, it is about 9:1. Therefore, the ten years felt by ordinary people are the 25 years felt by Zhang Yuan.

"Time is like running water. Speaking of it, I can still recall when I just set out from the earth... It's really a time travel with no return. "

"How many years have it been, 5576, almost 3500..."

"Ha ha, in fact, I never remember the year, because I always confuse the current age!"

At this point, everyone suddenly had a wonderful sense of unreal, that is, most of the people here have lived for 3500 years, even if they hibernate most of the time... But such a long time is coming.

Even the departure of Kunlun Mountain has been more than 200 years.

Only a third of the journey to the interstellar trading market has passed.

"The interstellar trading market is only the first destination of Kunlun mountain. There are a second, a third, and perhaps a more ambitious goal." Zhang Yuan couldn't help feeling surging, "what a great journey... It takes generations of relay to complete the first interstellar journey!"

"It's really exaggerated. Thousands of years old Wang Ba didn't live so long!" Li Zhendong also shook his head in the back and joked: "speaking of it, Lao ye, Lao Zhang, I have retired. When are you going to retire? When you are old, there is no need to hibernate for a long time... "

"Only when you are awake can you really live. If you go into hibernation, even if you live for 10000 years or 100 million years, what's the significance? It's just the effort of closing your eyes. For such a long time, it's completely blank. "

"Do you mean me?" Ye Kaifu licked his lips, picked up his tea cup and drank a mouthful of water: "it should be fast. Now he is still healthy and can hold on for a while. When we reach the next planet and let young people practice, we can basically retire. Pension life is also good. "

As a major Engineer in Kunlun Mountain, ye Kaifu is mainly responsible for the exploitation of planetary resources. This project is the top priority in the period of rectification and maintenance of Kunlun mountain. Without the replenishment of resources, the spacecraft cannot span a distance of several light-years.

"Basically, I intend to do the same. When all the staff wake up, they can retire and hand over. " Zhang Yuan nodded.

"Well, after retirement, I can finally spend my old age in peace. Now it is not suitable for hibernation. If all kinds of hibernation diseases come, it will be very painful! " Li Zhendong rubbed his knee joint. He didn't know why. Sometimes he felt pain. According to the doctor's diagnosis, it was caused by old age and hibernation. The long-term pain made him want to change a bionic leg.

"By the way, after a while, my brother and I can go to the newly opened lawn park to play golf, cultivate ourselves, strive to live a few more years and pay the pension. How can we earn it back."

Li Zhendong is trying his best to live a few more years to collect the wool of the whole society

Of course, let the elderly enjoy their old age is what a normal civilization should do, and the new civilization has prepared for it for a long time.

In ancient times, there was a saying that Qin Shihuang gave an order to bury alive at the age of 60. The reason is very ridiculous. It is actually that they dislike that the elderly have no ability to work and waste national food in vain.

But this should be a rumor. Even the "live burial" was not found in historical data. Respecting the old and loving the young is a tradition of the Xia state.

There was also the Yuan Dynasty, which implemented a cruel high-pressure policy after the unification of the Central Plains. It not only divided the people of the central plains into several grades, but also adopted the policy of burying the elderly alive for 60 years, so as to humiliate the Han people and reduce the population.

No one knows whether this is a rumor.

In short, a sound pension system is the cornerstone of future social stability.

The productivity of Kunlun Mountain is tens of thousands of times higher than that in ancient times. The pension system has also been improved. The whole civilization will usher in the first batch of aging tide of about 200000 or 300000 people in the next few decades.

Zhang Yuan replied with a smile, "that's right. After I arrive at the next planet and hand over my work, I shouldn't hibernate again... But the whole work handover process is not so easy. It may take several years."

"... golf? What a boring activity. I'd rather travel to the virtual world or play regular sports such as badminton. You should still be alive for a few years. You won't die halfway? "

"There's no problem living another 50 years!" Li Zhendong patted his chest, lowered his head and drank a mouthful of water. He said excitedly, "I want to plan my life for the past 50 years. I don't need to work hard now. It's too cool and easy..."

"I just want to sleep in bed and boast about my achievements when I see young people..."

He lay carelessly on his chair, imagined the future scene, and began his usual boasting and farting.

This guy finished the handover of retirement a few days ago and was very free all day!

In fact, Zhang Yuan knows that Li Zhendong is only a little empty in his heart for a while and a half. Otherwise, why do he often run to the research institute?

Even if Li Zhendong is old and retired, he is a hundred times stronger than the young people who have just started!

But then again, it is also a right thing to give up the position to talented young people... Although the peak of human intelligence can be maintained for a long time, the creative ability will always decrease with the decline of energy.

Zhang Yuan himself is also preparing for retirement.

Aging is indeed the most terrible enemy of mankind. Even if he has delayed aging through long-term hibernation, it is only delayed.

When you get old, all the functions of your body decline. In this case, forced hibernation may lead to various comprehensive symptoms after waking up, such as amnesia, general paralysis, massive neuronal death and so on.

Therefore, many of the elderly of their generation no longer hibernate. After handing over their work, they can enjoy their old age in these decades. As for the follow-up development of the new civilization, it can only be bothered by the new generation.

"How many captains are there?"

Zhang Yuan said, "there are probably two or three good seeds..."

There are many talented people in the new civilization. It's very easy to choose a successor. For example, ye Junchang of the military headquarters played a great role in the last interstellar war. His command ability and military ability are beyond ordinary people, and his age is quite appropriate.

Also, Dr. Li Cheng of the Secretariat has long been a vice captain. He has quite a set of skills in dealing with interpersonal problems and ship familiarity.

Of course, if there is no special accident, the captain is a high-level cadre in the Scientific Council.

A large number of important decisions are made through joint discussion. The management of the middle and lower levels depends on big data AI, which is gradually recognized by people.

"Then, the next planet is the focus of the succession of the new and old generation."
