"Can I transfer to another job? I want to save all the work I have done in this life for the next life..."

"No, people need to learn to make progress!"

"But the book says this is called exploitation of surplus value..."

In the end, Li Xiaomeng took the job with a resentful look on her face, and wrote the manuscript in Gu Qingshi's bedroom reluctantly - it was too cold outside and she didn't want to walk.

........

While Li Xiaomeng was busy writing and Gu Qingshi was sitting cross-legged playing games, the promotional video for "Stellaris" originally scheduled to be released on New Year's Eve was quietly released online.

But at this time, everyone is still busy reuniting with their families, and the video is not very popular.

Xia Jueming was different. He was writing a diary in his bedroom.

Now as a high school student, Xia Jueming believes that he has left behind the stage of "chuunibyou" - before entering high school, he always thought his name was very cool.

Xia, Jue, Ming. No matter how you look at it, he is the standard male protagonist in a fantasy movie, or at least a heavyweight supporting role. So Xia was a bit immature in junior high school. Until he learned about a medicine called "Shijueming" in Chinese class in high school.

By the way, the common name of this medicine is abalone shell.

When Xiao Xia got home and asked, she found out that her father had studied some Chinese medicine before. When Xiao Xia was a fetus, her father often bought abalone for her mother to eat, so she named him Abalone... No, Cassia.

Xiao Xia, who had escaped from his middle school years, covered his face and found it hard to accept his own dark history. He could not hold it back when he thought about how he had shown off to girls and confessed his love for them. So he cried and threw himself into the arms of the second dimension. From then on, he became less trustworthy than before.

Mina, the two-winged ape is so kind.

Boom!

Father Xia knocked on the door, pushed it open and walked in. He saw Xia Jueming writing in his diary and asked curiously, "Are you writing your sour little diary again?"

"You peeked at my diary!?"

Xiao Xia was shocked.

"Hey! It's just the abalone shell thing," Xia's father laughed, trying to cover it up, but suddenly he remembered Xiao Xia's silly and soft look in the past, and he held back his laughter, "Look at you, hahahaha!"

Xiao Xia drove his father out with a gloomy face. He no longer had the heart to write in his diary. He opened it with a depressed look on his face.

On the homepage of Pilipala Video Network, there is a reservation promotion for the 2033 New Year's Greetings Season.

Xiao Xia was not interested and just randomly scrolled through the videos on the homepage.

"About the incident where I was asked to play games with someone and was kicked out..."

"Bedtime News 16: Random Talk, the Origin of Fat Culture"

"Classmates? The joy of Gulang; Me? The crackling of stars and rocks"

When Xiao Xia saw the last one, his face twitched. He did think so a year ago, the only difference was that there were no stars and rocks at that time.

As for the gaming Brahmin, he is very familiar with this one.

He was about to click on the first video, but the homepage suddenly refreshed and he clicked on another video.

"Hmm, where's the video of me getting pouted!?"

The new video was playing automatically, and before Xia Jueming could exit, he was attracted by the screen.

The video shows a magnificent starry sky.

And in this starry sky, several planets are orbiting the sun in an orderly manner, just as they have been for millions of years.

But tonight, there are several more high-energy particle streams ejected from ship engines in the starry sky, which are brilliant and dazzling.

The sound was slightly soft, as if it was brushing gently past your ear.

“Once upon a time, we viewed the Earth as a blessing from God.”

"Its love is so pure that it moves the sun and the stars."

“Now, we have no choice but to relocate to a foreign land.”

On Earth, the lights of human cities can no longer be seen with the naked eye. Instead, there is a thick cloud of smoke. Gray-black radioactive rain is washing the surface.

In the nearly abandoned launch base, several spacecraft of astonishingly large size were taking off, and the powerful air waves suddenly blew down the surrounding buildings.

"They say we are the last hope of civilization..."

Breaking through the atmosphere and escaping gravity, the six home ships made several jumps and were now emitting high-energy particles and cruising at sub-light speed in the vast sea of ​​stars.

"They said we would find a new home."

Along with the voices, the full picture of the ship gradually appeared in front of Xia Jueming.

When Xia Jueming saw these spaceships, he got goosebumps.

This is a truly huge thing, with a length of more than three kilometers. It is covered with kinetic weapons for defense, and under the slightly transparent silver armor in the middle and rear, there is an unmanned city.

“They called it: Ulysses.”

Chapter 185 [You are the only one called Qunxing? 】

Xia Cassiae got goose bumps all over her body.

Although I didn’t understand what the story was about, it felt pretty cool!

Especially when the six home arks, such as the Qiu Ju and the Hyacinth, appeared, Xia Jueming immediately remembered the spaceship he designed in his middle school years.

Well, it’s ten thousand times, a hundred thousand times, or even ten thousand times better than what he designed!

The three-kilometer-long spacecraft was made so meticulously, especially when it took off and contrasted with the surrounding buildings. The huge air wave generated at the moment of liftoff...

What is science fiction? What is a spaceship?

So, what is this movie?

Xia Jueming doesn't remember any new science fiction movies released recently.

When Xia Jueming saw UP’s name, he was stunned.

"Star Studio? Aren't they making games?"

Although he is a fan of the two-dimensional world, he also plays games occasionally and has some understanding of the manufacturer Fanxing.

Influenced by his parents, Xia Jueming prefers science fiction games, especially those about the future world and space exploration, so his knowledge of the stars is just knowing their names, which is not much.

If he hadn't seen this film, Xia Jueming estimated that he would probably not have paid attention to Fanxing during his high school years.

Is this a trailer released on New Year's Eve?

Xia Jueming immediately understood what this film was about, it turned out to be a promotional film.

But are they serious about making such a high-end first promotional video? Did they spend all the funds on promotion?

Xia Jueming had also seen quite a few promotional videos, but in terms of special effects and sophistication, there were very few that could compare to what he had just seen.

The plot of the promotional video is simple.

The Earth has experienced some disaster - perhaps a nuclear war - and is no longer suitable for human habitation. So some people choose to board spaceships to leave this sad place and look for a new home in the universe.

However, what puzzled Xia Jueming was, was "Ulysses" the name of the voyage plan, the name of the spacecraft, or the destination of the spacecraft?

The suspense left at the end directly aroused Xia Jueming's curiosity.

This video is part of a series, and there is another video that has not been played.

Xiao Xia's curiosity was aroused, and she wanted to open it to take a look. But as soon as she opened the video, her mother shouted in the living room: "Xia Cassiae, are you going to eat or not!?"

Xiao Xia opened the door in one step, not daring to stop.

.......

At this moment, Xia's father and mother were already sitting at the dining table. The Spring Festival Gala was playing on the TV in the living room, but no one was watching it, just listening to the noise.

"You kid, you stay in your room playing games every day, and you don't even know how to go out for a walk. Look at the people in the third shift..."

Mother Xia was chattering about family matters.

"Mom, I can't go out either. You don't even give me some pocket money, where can I go out..."

Mother Xia felt distressed and asked, "Why don't you ask your father for it?"

Xia Jueming whispered: "My dad's little private money, I have to pay for it myself when I go out to buy him a bag of tea..."

"Kid, I'll give you two hundred later, go out and have some fun."

Xia Jueming was delighted and immediately said sweetly, "Thank you, Mom!"

"Why are you thanking me? It's from your New Year's money."

Xia Jueming froze for a moment.

Okay, that's the end of the conversation.

Father Xia was gloating over his misfortune and looking at his phone. Mother Xia glared at him and said, "And you, Xia Donghai, what are you looking at? Are you not eating? You look at your phone every day. Set an example, don't you understand?"

The father and son looked at each other, then immediately fell silent and started eating.

Xia's mother is Xia Jueming's high school teacher, and what's even more unfortunate is that she teaches their class...

Therefore, in front of his mother, Xia Jueming really had no privacy at all. Which girl he was interested in, which classmate he played well with, which subject he was good at, whether he completed his homework well... Xia's mother knew everything about school.

After finishing their meal, the father and son both sat on the sofa and checked their phones.

Xiao Xia was still thinking about the promotional video. She opened the video but before watching it, she asked, "Dad, if a nuclear war breaks out one day, what should we do?"

Xia Donghai was stunned, then he took a breath and thought for a long time.

Finally, he said with great hesitation: "Prepare for the funeral as soon as possible."

Xiao Xia: “….”

"I'm asking seriously."

“I am answering you seriously.”

Xia Donghai thought for a moment and said, "If a global nuclear war really happened, there would be many scenarios. Some people think there would be a nuclear winter, but others say it's just nonsense. But for ordinary people like us, it doesn't matter where we go. We will definitely hide in the subway or air-raid shelter first.

"The technology is quite advanced now. As long as the government is not paralyzed and humans are not extinct, there is still a high probability that civilization can be maintained."

Xiao Xia asked: "What if we have reached the point where we choose to build a spaceship to leave the Earth?"

Xia Donghai pondered for a while.

"It's normal for people to be attached to their homeland. Besides, leaving the Earth and heading out into space is a possibility of never returning. The fact that they are willing to take such a risk clearly shows that the Earth is almost completely destroyed, and they have no choice but to seek benefits and avoid harm. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, if there is still sufficient material foundation after a nuclear war, it is possible that a human government will organize the construction of spacecraft and try other ways to rebuild civilization."
