Earth.
Star Sky Technology headquarters office.
Looking at Lu Xiaoqiao, who was handling official business, Yang Fangfang could not help but ask in a low voice.
"What did he say to you before he left?"
"He entrusted Star Sky Technology to me, then asked me to transfer 100 billion credits from his account to the account of the Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation."
Yang Fangfang sucked in a breath of cold air, her face revealing an expression of disbelief.
"One hundred billion … Did he just donate it all?"
"Yes." Lu Xiaoqiao nodded lightly. "He said that money is something that can't be brought with him in life and can't be taken with him in death. Since he can no longer use it, he hopes that it can play a greater role."
The work of the Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation was not only to help frozen dormant people quickly integrate into the current society, but also to invest in some medical fields and provide assistance to people who could not afford frozen dormancy.
According to him, the original intention of creating this technology was to give those who should have died in this era a second chance at life.
Regardless of whether one was rich or poor, everyone should have the right to live equally. This technology should not be a monopoly of a few people.
In fact, the Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation had been practicing this for more than a hundred years.
Otherwise, it would not have been invited to participate in the Human Alliance's announcement ceremony as the world's largest charity organization.
"But, this is 100 billion …" Yang Fangfang still felt sorry for her best friend.
After all, this huge sum of money should have been inherited by her.
However, when she heard this, Lu Xiaoqiao only smiled and said indifferently.
"Whether it's 100 billion or 1 trillion, it's his property. It's his right to do whatever he wants with it. As his descendant, all I can do is pass on his ideals … Although I'm not as strong as him, there are still some things that I can do. "
For example, following his last wish, Star Sky Technology would become a company that would benefit society and continue to lead human civilization forward.
Unlike him, she wasn't a great scholar, but as an entrepreneur with a sense of social responsibility, she believed that there were still many things she could do.
After dealing with official business, Lu Xiaoqiao, who was leaning against the office chair, stretched.
Just as she stood up lazily from her office chair and was about to go to the company's cafeteria for lunch, an email from the Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation's board of directors happened to float into her mailbox.
"S-class encryption project has been unbanned?"
Seeing this strange line of text, Lu Xiaoqiao raised her eyebrows with a hint of interest.
Because it involved patents and some sensitive research issues, even as a public welfare organization, the Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation still maintained some "corporate secrets" that were only open to the public.
An S-level encryption project like this could only be approved for encryption with the signature of the chairman of the foundation.
Usually, unless it was time to lift the restriction or a special unlocking condition was met, the restriction would not be lifted.
"The storage will be sealed in 2025 … Has it been sealed for that long?"
If I remember correctly, the Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation was established in the 2020s, right?
Thinking that this might be a secret left behind by the first chairman, Lu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but be more curious.
Without hesitation, she immediately selected the unlock icon.
However, to her surprise, what appeared in front of her was not an earth-shattering secret, but a special frozen dormancy agreement.
The reason why it was special was that this agreement did not have a specific time to end dormancy. Instead, it used the beginning of colonization activities outside the solar system as the time point to lift the dormancy.
As for the second reason, it was because the name of this person was the heroine in the documentary called "The Great Country Scholar", the person her great-great-grandfather couldn't forget …
Looking at the frozen dormancy agreement in her hand and thinking of the reason why Lu Zhou went to Tau Ceti, Lu Xiaoqiao's heart couldn't help but feel a little touched.
Across the distance of time, even across life and death. In this strange era, the two people who ran to each other on different tracks actually reunited miraculously.
However, perhaps this was also inevitable in a sense.
She took a deep breath, and a gratified smile appeared on her face.
"This is really … a fluke?"
Is this the love that people in that era have?
It feels so romantic …
She, who had never been interested in love, suddenly felt a little envious.
…
Many years later, looking back on his past life, Leonard couldn't help but think of that person's name.
The fossil stuffed into his pocket completely subverted the archaeology community's understanding of Mars billions of years ago. When he left, the address he told him revealed the mysterious veil of the Martian civilization to the world …
Leonard gently closed the academic book in his hand. His index finger gently rubbed the thick leather cover, and his turbid pupils were stained with a trace of nostalgia.
"Fifty years … Time flies so fast."
His index finger paused on the author's name. His lips, which were cracked and peeling due to his dry and cracked skin, slowly opened and began to chant words that only he could hear.
"It's been fifty years … Thanks to your help, I have finally fulfilled my father's last wish, making Professor Vernal's school of thought immortal in this world. As the person who carries on the past and the future, although I have not experienced that magnificent era, I should have a page in history that belongs to me …"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of brisk footsteps outside the study room. After a while, the door was pushed open.
Leaper, with a face full of youthful vigor, stood in front of him.
"Dad!"
That was his child.
Like his father's choice, he dedicated his youth to academia in his early years, and in his later years, he created his own offspring through artificial petri dishes.
Sometimes, he would often sigh with emotion. Although technology could not fundamentally solve all the contradictions of human beings, it could provide more choices in their lives.
Leonard looked at the young man who rushed into his study room with a kind smile on his face. He spoke in a relaxed tone.
"What's wrong? What makes you so happy? "
"I got an offer from Star Sky Technology! I'm going to report to Tau Ceti colony next month! "
Leonard nodded with a smile and spoke softly.
"Remember to be safe. I heard that the active alien creatures there are not as friendly as the animals on Earth.
"Aren't we alien zoologists here to solve this problem?"
The young man proudly patted his chest. A smile full of mission appeared on his face.
A gratified smile appeared on Leonard's face when he saw that his child could have such a realization.
The young man looked at the smile on his father's face and continued in a proud tone.
"You won't blame me for not inheriting your legacy and continuing to study archaeology, will you?"
"Of course not. My theory doesn't need to be inherited by a specific person. From the moment it was born, it has left an indelible mark on this world, "Leonard said softly." I don't need you to carry anything for me. You just need to follow your own interests and choose the life you want … Isn't that what humans live for? "
"I don't want to listen to you." The young man continued with a helpless expression on his face, "Your child is going to travel soon, can't we talk about something else?"
Leonard: "For example?"
"For example, about Tau Ceti!" The young man's face was immediately full of excitement. He looked at his elderly father and continued, "I always heard people say that you have interacted with Academician Lu?"
A strange smile appeared on Leonard's face. After a while, he smiled and said something meaningful.
"It's more than that."
He was the one who dug out the respected Academician Lu from the ruins …
"Then tell me about him." The young man sat down on the sofa and said expectantly, "Including how he promoted the unification of the Human Alliance, including Tau Ceti's expedition! Oh my god … His life is like a legend. "
"The unification of the Human Alliance and Tau Ceti's expedition?"
Leonard chewed on this sentence. A trace of deep memories appeared in his eyes.
After a long while, he let out a soft sigh and opened his mouth softly like a bard.
"My dearest child, that is a story from a long, long time ago …"
