Chapter 387

In this way, it has been a hundred years since we set out from Riley

On this day, a few old friends were gathering in private. Basically, the people sitting in the room were 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 sighed about their old age.

For high-level officials like Zhang Yuan, the time for hibernation and awakening is about 3:1, while for ordinary people it is about 9:1. So the ten years that ordinary people feel are the 25 years that Zhang Yuan feels.

"Time is like running water. So far, I can still recall the time when I started from the earth It's a time travel that never comes back. "

"How many years has it been now, 5576, nearly 3500 years..."

"Ha ha, in fact, I never remember the year, because I always confuse the years I live in now!"

Talking about this, everyone suddenly has a wonderful unreal feeling, that is to say, most of you have lived 3500 years, even if you are hibernating most of the time But in such a long time, it's coming.

Even Kunlun Mountain has been on its way for more than 200 years.

It's only a third of the journey to the interstellar marketplace.

"The interstellar exchange market is only the first destination of Kunlun Mountain, and there is a second, third, and perhaps more ambitious goal behind it." Zhang Yuan couldn't help feeling surging, "what a great journey It will take generations of relay to complete the first interstellar journey

"It's really exaggerating. Wang Ba, who has lived for thousands of years, doesn't have such a long life!" Li Zhendong also shook his head behind him, joking: "speaking up, 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 sober, can you really live. If you go into hibernation, even if you live 10000 years, 100 million years, what's the point? It's just a matter of closing your eyes. For such a long time in the middle, it's completely blank. "

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

As a great engineer in the Kunlun Mountains, ye Kaifu is mainly responsible for the exploitation of planetary resources. This project is the top priority during the rectification and maintenance period of the Kunlun Mountains. Without additional resources, the spacecraft could not span a few light years.

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

"I'm retired. Well, I'm retired. I can finally live in peace. Now it's not suitable for hibernation. If all kinds of hibernation diseases come, it's really 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. Long term pain made him want to change an bionic leg.

"By the way, after a while, we can go to the new lawn park to play golf, cultivate ourselves, strive for more years, and earn our pension."

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

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

In ancient times, there was such a saying that the first emperor of Qin gave an order to bury alive at the age of 60. The reason is very ridiculous. It's actually that the old people have no ability to work and waste the national food in vain.

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

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

No one knows whether this is a rumor.

In a word, a perfect pension system is the cornerstone of social stability in the future.

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

Zhang Yuan replied with a smile, "that's right. After arriving at the next planet and handing over my work, I should never hibernate again However, the whole handover process is not so easy. It may take several years. "

“…… golf? It's a boring activity. I'd rather travel to the virtual world, or play badminton and other regular sports. You should have a few more years to live, and you won't die in the middle of it? "

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

"I just want to sleep in bed and brag about my achievements when I was young when I saw young people..."He lay on the chair carelessly, imagining the future scene and starting his usual boasting.

This guy finished the handover of retirement a few days ago. He is very free all day long!

In fact, Zhang Yuan knows that Li Zhendong is just a little empty for a while. Otherwise, why do he often run to the research institute?

Even if Li Zhendong is old and retired, he is 100 times better than the young people who have just started!

But then again, it is also a proper 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 decrease with the decrease of energy.

Zhang Yuan himself is also preparing for retirement related matters.

Aging is indeed the most terrible enemy of human beings. Even though it has been delayed by long-term hibernation, it is only delayed.

When you get older, all the functions of your body decline. In this case, if you force yourself to hibernate, you are likely to have a variety of comprehensive symptoms after waking up, such as amnesia, general paralysis, a large number of neuron death and so on.

Therefore, many of the elderly of their generation do not hibernate any more. After they finish their work, they can enjoy their old age in these decades. As for the follow-up development of the new civilization, we can only let the new generation work hard.

"How many candidates for the captain?"

Zhang Yuandao: "maybe there are 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 very important role in the last star wars. His command ability and military ability are beyond ordinary people, and his age is quite appropriate.

In addition, Dr. Li Cheng of the Secretariat has been a deputy captain for a long time. He has a good command of both interpersonal relations and familiarity with spaceships.

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

A large number of important decisions are discussed and decided together. The management of the middle and lower levels all rely on big data AI. This management mode is gradually recognized by people.

"Well, the next planet is the focus of the new and old generations."
