Chapter 124: Future Plan
As long as we can continue the nation and civilization, ensuring we are not annihilated by the apocalypse, and develop technology step by step, as long as civilization can continue, the truth will eventually come to light one day.
Facing Sun Changhe’s pragmatic decision and judgment, Jiang Yang nodded.
Afterward, Sun Changhe fell into prolonged contemplation. After a long time, he seemed to finally have thought of a result and once again fixed his gaze on Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang originally thought he was going to tell him something extremely important, related to the fate of the entire nation and the entire civilization, but he did not expect Sun Changhe to ask a seemingly somewhat unrelated question.
“Comrade Jiang Yang, what is your impression of Comrade Zhou Yu?”
This question surprised both of them momentarily. But seeing that Sun Changhe’s expression was still full of seriousness and solemnity, not at all like chatting casually, Jiang Yang also became solemn in his heart.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Jiang Yang stood up first and said to Zhou Yu: “Let me apologize to you first.
This period of time… um, for you it’s just these ten days, but for me it’s a very long time. During this time, I may have offended you in many ways, but I…”
Zhou Yu said in a low voice: “I know. During these ten days, your mental pressure has always been very heavy, and from a psychological perspective, pressure always needs a place to vent. Those offenses you directed at me were actually subconscious attempts to improve your mental state, with the purpose of being able to work better.
But you may not have realized that during these ten days, I was actually secretly guiding you to do so. So, there’s no need to apologize; it’s all work.”
Recalling the time spent with Zhou Yu in the recent period, Jiang Yang was slightly startled in his heart.
Damn, psychologists are indeed all very scary.
Pausing for a moment, Jiang Yang looked at Sun Changhe and said frankly: “My impression of Comrade Zhou Yu is very good.”
Sun Changhe looked at Zhou Yu: “What is your impression of Comrade Jiang Yang?”
Zhou Yu only felt shy for an instant before lifting her head, equally frank and generous: “Although we haven’t known each other for long, my impression of Comrade Jiang Yang is also very good.”
“Good.”
Sun Changhe nodded slowly, his expression still solemn and serious: “Then we can move on to the next topic.
Based on the information deciphered from that alien text, we all know clearly that the Reaper Civilization’s second harvest could arrive at any time, and we know nothing about the form of the second harvest, what methods they will use, or what technology they will employ.
And Comrade Jiang Yang is our only hope against the apocalypse.
But there are two crucial points.
First, we cannot determine when the apocalypse will arrive.
Second, Comrade Jiang Yang’s lifespan is limited.
What if the apocalypse descends in decades, or even centuries?
Based on the information left by the Reaper Civilization in the lunar underground base, this is entirely possible.
Even if it arrives after thousands of years, it would not be surprising at all.”
Jiang Yang agreed with this judgment.
Planting humans 300,000 years ago and waiting 300,000 years before starting the harvest clearly shows that the Reaper Civilization’s perception and judgment of time may be different from that of humans.
“If Comrade Jiang Yang lives out his life normally and dies in decades, at most no more than 100 years, we will lose this only hope.
So for now, we can only implement one plan.”
He paused, his expression more solemn and grave than ever: “Future Plan.
Mobilizing the strength of the entire nation and the entire civilization to fully tackle human hibernation technology, striving to develop sufficiently safe human hibernation equipment within ten years, allowing Comrade Jiang Yang to enter hibernation and extend his lifespan.
Comrade Jiang Yang, I am here on behalf of the nation and civilization to solicit your opinion.”
Jiang Yang was silent for a moment.
Hibernation…
This means he would be completely detached from the current social system. The family affection, love, and friendship that modern humans value would have no meaning for him.
Because his lifespan would be very long, so long that any ordinary person would only be a brief passerby in his life.
“I… agree.”
Jiang Yang did not hesitate too long: “This is what I should bear.
Captain Tong and Captain Zhao have taken up their responsibilities, and I should also take up my own responsibilities.”
“Rest assured, you won’t be the only one entering the future.”
Sun Changhe said slowly: “Completely severing your social relationships would inevitably cause a huge impact on your mental and psychological state.
Not only would it torment you, but it would also pose a huge risk to the entire doomsday plan.
So… I will also enter hibernation. Not only me, but also people you are familiar with like Gu Changshan and Lu Zhaoming will enter hibernation together.
We will form a small social environment familiar to both you and us under the unfamiliar societal macroenvironment of the future, where we can huddle together for warmth in the unfamiliar social environment and culture.
We will form a consultant group to become the doomsday consultants for future human civilization.”
Jiang Yang suddenly looked up, looking at Sun Changhe with slight shock.
He had anticipated entering hibernation himself, but he had not expected Sun Changhe himself, as well as many people he was familiar with, to all enter hibernation.
Indeed, in that way, in a future where everything changes rapidly, with societal trends, cultures, moral views, and values shifting quickly, he would have a familiar small environment around him, and his mental and psychological state would undoubtedly be greatly improved.
And although these people might seem outdated in future societal culture, their underlying logic would not be outdated.
This underlying logic, such as the underlying operational logic in administrative management or the logical thinking at the base of the scientific system, will not change with the passage of time.
The court politics of thousands of years ago and modern society’s management systems have completely different manifestations, but at the root, they have never changed.
Sun Changhe, Gu Changshan, Lu Zhaoming, and others undoubtedly master this underlying logic.
Having them accompany him to the future would undoubtedly greatly improve his communication efficiency with the future government and increase the success rate of the doomsday plan.
It’s just that in this way…
Sun Changhe said calmly: “You have taken up your responsibilities, and we should also take up our responsibilities.”
Jiang Yang nodded silently.
Sun Changhe looked at Zhou Yu: “Then, Comrade Zhou Yu, do you want to participate in the future plan?
For Comrade Jiang Yang, emotional support is extremely necessary.
You have a good impression of each other, which is a necessary prerequisite for you to participate in the future plan. Frankly speaking, you are the most suitable person to carry out this task.
But don’t have too much psychological pressure. You should be very clear that no matter how many people praise love, it cannot change its essence: the desire for reproduction and the secretion of one’s own hormones.
So, although you are the best candidate, you are not irreplaceable.
If your answer is no, then we will find new emotional support for Comrade Jiang Yang, and you can fully return to normal life. At the same time, given your outstanding contribution during this time, I can step in to strive for the maximum reward for you.
But one thing: you must completely and thoroughly disappear from Comrade Jiang Yang’s world and never appear before him again, to avoid affecting the new emotional support.”
Facing Sun Changhe’s serious and solemn gaze, Zhou Yu’s expression changed, full of struggle.
After a long time, she said: “I, I need to think about it.”
