Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

From the end, it’s basically all about saying nothing.

The old leader who came with the old leader recorded these things.

The content is that this old leader, on behalf of the above, discusses the future development directions and issues in some fields.

Consultation with Academician Mo.

This is probably the last time I can ask Academician Mo for his opinion.

Therefore, this exchange took a bit long.

Mo Dao didn't hold anything back, he just said some things that might be valuable.

It may be misleading, and if it doesn't make sense, it's not mentioned.

I also elaborated on some possible problems in some details.

In this life, Mo Dao's influence in the field of scientific research was at a terrifying level.

Mo Dao has not only witnessed the progress of the entire Chinese scientific research field in recent years, but also often referred to Mo Dao's opinions when formulating blueprints.

In this life, Mo Dao was in a commanding position in the field of scientific research.

In addition to the core energy field, he has a deep understanding of many industries derived from energy.

This holistic and comprehensive understanding allows Mo Dao to separate his vision from a single area and overlook the overall situation.

This is also the key reason why the above always attach great importance to Mo Dao's opinions. Mo Dao always seems to be particularly far-sighted in many aspects.

And it seems to transcend the limitations of itself and the times.

Therefore, this conversation can be regarded as a ‘work handover’ to a certain extent.

From morning to afternoon.

By the time he finished speaking, Mo Dao was already a little tired.

"Don't pay too much attention to my opinions and thoughts."

"The future is uncertain, and my opinions may not really have much practical significance."

"We understand, Academician Mo."

After making sure that the people accompanying him had recorded everything Academician Mo said,

The old leader nodded and did not object to Mo Dao's words.

Mo Dao glanced at the old leader and said nothing more.

It was fine when we kept talking just now.

When I really stopped at this moment, I felt that all the energy in my aging body seemed to have been used up.

Just like most of the time these days, I feel a little physiologically dizzy.

Picking up the tea next to him, Mo Dao took a sip and took a breath.

Opposite me, the old leader didn't say anything for a while.

Just waiting for Mo Dao to rest.

In the study, it became quiet for a while.

"...Academician Mo, do you have any other requests?"

After a pause, the old leader looked at Mo Dao and said again.

This sentence is asked on behalf of the entire country of China.

Except for what I just mentioned, they are all national affairs.

Academician Mo Dao, who has reached the end of his life, does he have any other requests?

Mo Dao did not give an answer immediately.

Turning his head, he looked out the study window.

Today, it is still a sunny day. Through the gaps in the shade of trees in the yard,

All that can be seen is a clear, cloudless sky.

After thinking about it, Mo Dao said to the old leader,

"When I die, throw me out of the earth."

"Set a direction and let it go further into the universe."

After Mo Dao said these words,

The old leader paused for a moment, as if he shouldn't say anything for a moment.

The people who have come to visit Mo Dao these days are a bit shy about talking about death.

Even everyone knew Mo Dao's physical condition at the moment.

Mo Dao didn't pay attention to the old leader's silence at this moment.

Just turned around and met another look,

Miss Qin Huaishi, who was sitting next to him, was looking at him but said nothing more.

Mo Dao looked at these familiar eyes and paused for a while.

Putting his hand on the back of Qin Huaishi's hand,

Then he just smiled and added,

"My wife, too, is with me."

Qin Huaishi also smiled at Mo Dao after listening to Mo Dao's words.

Still didn't say anything, just turned his hand over and held it tightly with Mo Dao's.

Here, after a pause, the old leader finally spoke again and gave his answer,

"...Okay. Academician Mo."

He probably should have said a few words of comfort about death,

Maybe we should save the old man... Such a great old man, even if he has passed away,

As a Chinese, I still instinctively want to keep the elderly close to me.

The boundless universe is really too big.

I don’t know where the old man will eventually drift to.

But none of this makes any sense.

The last words that came out of my mouth were just these words.

"Academician Mo, we have written it down."

Nothing else is important, just to fulfill the old man's last wish,

This is what you should do.

In this life, Academician Mo took very little from this world and left much to the world.

"Academician Mo, please rest first, and we will leave first."

The old leader looked at Mo Dao. Before leaving, just like the student who came to visit Mo Dao before,

I want to say something more, but I really don’t know what to say anymore.

Thinking of the old man's physical condition, I can't help but feel a little sad.

…

A few days later, the manned space project team received a somewhat strange project specified above.

I hope they can quickly make a manned spacecraft by modifying the existing spacecraft or contacting various cooperative factories.

This spacecraft does not need to consider the issue of returning home, but it must be able to be used for a long time to ensure that it can still receive signals from nearby human spacecraft after many years.

It can be without a life support system, but it must be strong enough and be able to actively avoid obstacles.

When this project was first obtained, the manned space project team was confused.

Finally, the head of the manned space project team asked the higher-ups,

and after returning, he did not say too much to other team members,

but temporarily put aside other work in hand and focused on this strange project.

And for this strange project, from top to bottom, it was also given the greatest convenience.

…

During this last period of time,

Mo Dao declined more people's visits and visits.

He just spent the last time of this life with Miss Qin Huaishi.

Just like usual, he spent the sunrise and sunset.

Every day is like a day in ordinary life.

As time went by, his body further deteriorated, causing Mo Dao to sleep more and more every day.

Mo Dao was very familiar with this situation.

His spirit could transcend, but his physical energy still could not get rid of the shackles of his aging body.

However,

for the two of them, it didn't matter.

When Mo Dao fell asleep at night, Qin Huaishi slept beside him.

When Mo Dao sat on the sofa during the day and fell asleep unknowingly, Qin Huaishi put her hand on the back of Mo Dao's hand,

and sat quietly by the side, waiting for Mo Dao to wake up.

If the two were still talking about something before Mo Dao fell asleep,

then when Mo Dao woke up, the two would continue to chat.

Occasionally, when Mo Dao had some strength, the two would support each other and walk in the yard.

The days were hidden in the occasional falling leaves outside the window,

and in the morning light and afterglow that came through the window every day.

They spent their days in these ordinary days.

...

However, just like the spring on a clockwork puppet,

it will always stop.

On this day,

the early summer sun shone through the window early.

Normally, it was a bit hot, but it still felt a bit cold on Mo Dao.

When Mo Dao woke up early from the bed, Qin Huaishi also woke up.

Qin Huaishi looked at Mo Dao, who seemed to be much more energetic than the day before, and paused for a while, but didn't say anything.

This day, just like any other day, passed peacefully.
