Luo Yuan got up and put on his clothes. He glanced at Zhao Yali who was still sleeping on the bed and smiled. He left the room, closed the bedroom door gently and walked to the street.
The lights on the street were dimmed, making it feel like it was night time.
It was already June and the number of people on the street had decreased. It was empty with only one or two pedestrians passing by, adding to the loneliness.
Since May, the construction of the dormant rooms had begun. Batches of people entered the dormant state.
Until now, almost all the factories had been shut down and production had come to a halt. The entire spaceship seemed to have become quiet and was no longer as lively as it was before.
The emergency spaceship that was used to collect the interstellar creature had returned and the asteroid mining to replenish the resources had been completed.
The spaceship was ready for the long journey. The reason why they did not leave was that there were still six days left before the next auspicious day.
Regardless of whether it was Luo Yuan or the advisor who came up with the plan, they should not have been superstitious. However, under such immense pressure, such an illusory psychological comfort sometimes had the effect of boosting their confidence.
Of course, not all of them would enter the dormant state.
Other than the necessary maintenance personnel and a considerable number of government personnel, all of the scientists, engineers, and some of the technical workers would be awake for the long journey. They would enter the virtual world and continue their research and manufacturing work.
Now that the virtual world had been constructed and tested, the deserted island had become a beautiful and sci-fi city. Most of the laboratories had moved in and started adapting to the environment.
The busiest period had ended. Luo Yuan suddenly felt empty during the few days before the long journey.
Ever since he was young, even in his wildest dreams, Luo Yuan would never have imagined that he and all the humans would leave Earth and the solar system in his lifetime. It felt like the first time he left his hometown and went to a strange city alone.
This was a kind of hesitation and unsteadiness without a destination.
Luo Yuan sighed and shook his head slightly, trying to get rid of this inexplicable feeling from his mind.
For the past two months, he would purposely go to Venus every other day.
His physical strength had begun to increase again, but not by much. From the original 500 tons to the current 550 tons, it had only increased by about 10%. In comparison, perhaps because the focus of his training was more on the refinement of his domain, his perception had increased a lot, and his diameter had already reached 800 meters.
His Perceptive Sense on the status panel had also increased from 17 to 18 points. It was a rapid improvement.
If he were to stand in the center of the spaceship, his perception would be able to envelop the entire spaceship. Everyone's every move would not be able to escape his eyes. However, he was not a voyeur. Under normal circumstances, he would not pay special attention to such trivial matters.
As for the full-powered attack in the domain, it was even more powerful and terrifying. Compared to the first attempt, it had grown several times stronger. It already had the flair of a human-shaped nuclear bomb.
…
The residential area of the spaceship was not long. After walking for a few minutes, they had reached the end of the street. Luo Yuan did not want to continue his stroll, so he turned around and walked towards the city hall.
"You're getting lazier and lazier. You're always late and leaving early, and you're always absent," Chen Xinjie complained when she saw Luo Yuan.
"You're getting better at making tea." Luo Yuan took a sip of tea and continued, "The current administrative system is inherited from the previous one. Everyone has their own responsibilities. I think they're just too lazy. I make all the decisions and they're not willing to shoulder any responsibility. What's the point of having them?"
Luo Yuan laughed and scolded her. He felt guilty when he said that. Ever since he took the position, no one could keep him in check and he had complete control over the power.
Under such circumstances, everyone was trembling with fear. Especially in the past few years, the troublemakers who had dared to stand out had all been mercilessly eliminated due to various reasons. Now, those who remained were even more cautious and cautious.
Chen Xinjie did not express her opinion on this. No matter how close they were, she dared not say much about such matters.
"By the way, have you thought about it? Are you going to hibernate or stay awake?" Luo Yuan did not dwell on this topic and immediately changed the topic.
After the spaceship had left, most of the activities would stop. Therefore, a large number of civil servants would enter hibernation. Of course, Chen Xinjie was not on the list as she was Luo Yuan's personal secretary. However, as long as he was willing, it would only take a word from him.
"I've thought about it. I'll stay awake. What's the point of living a few more years through hibernation? I don't want to sleep for 20 years. It's scary just thinking about it. It feels like death. "Chen Xinjie shook her head and said.
Many people had a phobia of hibernation. After all, not many people could accept hibernation for up to 20 years. If it was not compulsory, there would not be many people who would choose hibernation.
"It's up to you. However, don't regret it when you wake up. You look younger than everyone else." Luo Yuan laughed.
"You can change your secretary by then!"
Luo Yuan smiled wryly and asked, "What's wrong with you these few days? I feel that you're not yourself!"
Chen Xinjie did not speak. After a moment of silence, she revealed a shocking news, "I'm pregnant!"
"What!" Luo Yuan was stunned. He was surprised and happy, "Really? When did this happen? "
Chen Xinjie looked at Luo Yuan's happy face and snorted, "It's not yours. What are you so happy about? It's a clone. I went to the hospital to do it last week! "
Luo Yuan was shocked. Indeed, he should not have had high hopes for it. His genes had gone beyond the definition of a human and had lost the possibility of natural reproduction. If he was still wearing a human skin, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a different species. However, he was still slightly disappointed.
He was stunned for less than half a second. He quickly adjusted his emotions and said softly, "What do you mean it's not mine? This child belongs to both of us. Clones are born to be geniuses. If we educate him well, he might become a great scientist in the future."
"I don't want him to be a scientist. It's too tiring. As long as he likes it, I'll support him no matter what he does." Seeing that Luo Yuan did not seem to be lying, Chen Xinjie was relieved. The coldness on her face soon melted. She touched her belly gently and said gently.
She knew why Luo Yuan was attracted to her. It was not because of love but because of her appearance. However, a beautiful face would fade with time. When the color was gone, perhaps he would not abandon her but he would not be able to stay with her for a long time.
She had always wanted to have a child to be a bond between the two of them. However, she had never succeeded. It was difficult for two ordinary people to have a child, let alone the most powerful evolved person. After a few years of fruitless efforts, a clone became her only option.
She thought that Luo Yuan would not be able to accept it so she did not tell him about it. It seemed like the result was better than she had expected.
