A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

......

Each person's body is a temple.

He built this temple and worshipped his god in his own way.

This is his inescapable fate.

—Thoreau

......

Commander-in-Chief Qi collected information about Gao Xing bit by bit and then left.

Notebook, toothbrush, water cup, towel, hair scattered on the pillow, nitroglycerin tablets, and an empty tube of adrenaline.

It was like he was picking up trash that Gao Xing had discarded during his life; there was very little, but it was the only thing he could find.

High-star DNA can always be found in these things.

With the DNA, we can verify Gao Xing's physical condition back then. Whether he was an A, B, or O, we can determine his gender by performing these three gender tests.

Then they called someone to find Gao Xing's past medical examination records and paper certificates that were sealed by the military.

The military's tests only check the content, grade, and pheromones of high-energy alpha blood. High-star individuals have alpha cell differentiation, so no clues will be detected in alpha-type physical examinations.

However, since his body is not that of an alpha, some of his physical fitness data will definitely be lower than those of a normal alpha during a routine physical examination.

At the time, no one probably cared. They just thought he was a little weak during that period. After all, his alpha high-energy blood and pheromone type screening data were very high, so no one would doubt that he was not an alpha.

If it can be found now, it will be evidence that he had health problems back then.

When the two pillows, one large and one small, were put into a vacuum bag, a few stray hairs on the surface of the pillows became statically charged and suddenly stood up when the bag was sealed. They trembled slightly through the transparent film, like seaweed floating up from a shipwreck.

It was as if a part of a high-ranking star had suddenly come to life.

He stared at it for a long time, then suddenly his throat tightened, and he bent down and hugged the two pillows, one large and one small, and the few strands of hair through the sealed bag.

It's someone who's been in my heart for many years, and a child.

It is someone who has always lived in his heart and he will never forget, and a child he has never met who is now an adult.

It has been more than 20 years.

......

Everything was put into a box.

Commander-in-Chief Qi carried the box out the door, and the box wobbled as he went down the steps.

The yellowed, dried, and old things collided with each other in the box through the sealed bags, making a soft sound like bones colliding.

Gao Xing's body was not found, so these are his only remaining remains.

The institute's freezers will take over these remains and use analyzers to determine what was left unsaid back then.

The ancient philosopher said:

Time is humanity's salvation.

Forgetting is humanity's salvation.

No matter how painful the wound, it can be healed by the passage of time.

He will never receive that kind of redemption.

He is a living memorial tablet left behind by Gao Xing.

......

*************

......

This world is a wonderful world, getting better little by little, generation after generation.

Commander-in-Chief Qi still had to go to work, because he still needed to discuss intermarriage arrangements with the Zerg. The one who disappeared from Satellite 78 was his own Gao Xing, but the Human Federation still had countless other people's Gao Xing.

There are some fun stories from the past.

During Gao Xing's physical examination that year, the military doctor concealed a secret he had that was difficult to talk about.

The most important difference between a male Alpha and a male Omega is that something is just for show.

When testing reproductive system activity, the military doctor looked at Gao Xing's sample, which had no sperm, and sighed:

It's a pity that the young and promising adjutant Gao was azoospermia and infertile.

[Xinhua News Agency, January 1, 3312]

Dear viewers, on January 1st, 3312, comes New Year's Day, an ancient festival for humankind.

A brand new chapter spanning the stars has solemnly begun in the history of human civilization.

On this joyous Spring Festival, a time of hope and renewal,

The Federation of Humans and the Liernia Empire jointly announced:

Negotiations on an official policy framework for the formal marriage of citizens of both parties.

It officially launched today.

This is not only an advancement of the diplomatic agenda,

They are two distinct yet equally brilliant civilizations.

A historic leap in seeking a deeper resonance of life in the vast universe.

New Year's Day, a festival originating from the agricultural civilization deep within the Earth and its understanding of the changing seasons, has, over thousands of years, been imbued with an unprecedented and magnificent dimension in the interstellar age, signifying both "new spring" and "beginning."

Choosing to begin negotiations at this symbolic moment, imbued with the collective emotions of humanity, is a commitment made by the Human Federation and the Liernia Empire to each other, and to the entire universe:

Respect for citizens' right to pursue happiness

It is a cornerstone cherished by both civilizations.

It is also a promise of prosperity for future generations.

......

The official joint statement clearly states:

One of the core objectives of this intermarriage negotiation is to explore solutions to the long-standing problem of gender imbalance in both societies.

During their long process of independent evolution, the Human Federation and the Liernia Empire developed distinct population structure characteristics bearing the imprint of their respective civilizations.

Such differences, which may have been the cornerstone of social stability in an era of isolation, may become an invisible barrier restricting individual happiness and social vitality in today's world of interconnected sea routes and deep integration of civilizations.

The establishment of the official consultation mechanism aims to construct a fair, transparent legal and social framework that respects the cultural ethics and biological characteristics of both parties, with a high degree of wisdom and responsibility.

This enables genuine emotional connections between individuals to become a positive force in effectively bridging structural divides and promoting the healthy development of both ethnic groups.

......

This is not a simple matter of resource allocation.

Rather, it is two mature civilizations with foresight and wisdom.

Actively embrace the diversity of the universe.

A courageous attempt to pave a new path for sustainable development for ourselves and future generations.

Intercultural marriage is an important way to optimize population structure and promote social vitality while respecting the characteristics of each other.

The negotiations on intermarriage between the Federation of Humans and the Lirnia Empire will proceed cautiously within a strict legal and ethical framework.

If this intermarriage agreement can be formally finalized, then the true era of universal unity for humanity will officially begin.

......

************

......

The official announcement has finally arrived.

If you don't come soon, the brothers will be waiting forever.

The alphas who had their glands pricked a few days ago were no longer afraid. They rushed home, picked up/carried their wives, and spun them around while yelling.

Damn it, when there was no policy of intermarriage between humans and Zerg, they could only apply for tourist visas to enter the country, and could not apply for permanent residence.

Human tourist visas are valid for only 30 days, and so are tourist visas for Liernia.

Tickets for the ferry were also hard to come by.

Private routes are not yet open; only official routes are available. This is the time when everyone is scrambling to cross the narrow bridge, and every time tickets are released, they sell out in seconds. You can't even see them once you see them.

It's impossible to establish a special train service between the Human Federation and Liernia, because they have no marital relationship and no legal status.

Currently, most of these pairings are between female Zerg from the Human Federation. The human ships that went to the Zerg have only just arrived, but I guess they'll have some there soon too.

Now, here, the 30-day period is almost up, and my wife's visa is expiring, meaning she'll be deported.

Although they can stay in Lehrnia for another 30 days, which would be a month each way, it's not bad. Nowadays, work can be done virtually, so it doesn't affect work. But what if they can't get a ferry ticket?

When that happens, we'll be living apart, and all we'll be able to do is cry in front of each other on video every day.

Meng A shed tears.

I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep, and I lost a lot of hair.

But! Today is New Year's Day!

That's great! We've finally started the formal marriage negotiation process!

Thank you, nature, for your bounty!
