It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

Albert lowered his eyes, avoiding Hong Qiming's gaze.

Hong Qiming glanced around calmly.

Seeing that no one raised any objections, he said again: "In this case, let's start now to vote on the old congressman's proposal."

"First of all, I agree with the proposal."

After the voice fell, a green light lit up in the holographic projection directly above the conference table.

"I agree."

"agree."

"Seconded."

"..."

In just one minute, more than half of the holographic projection lights were green.

Seeing this scene, the old congressman's smile became more intense.

So far, he has accomplished all his goals.

……

At the end of the meeting, the old chairman and Hong Qiming returned to Lu Yongchang's office again.

The old congressman sat on the chair in front of Lu Yongchang's desk, looking at Lu Yongchang solemnly.

"Yongchang, tell me the truth."

"How long do I have to live?"

Lu Yongchang smiled wryly, shook his head helplessly, and gave the answer after sighing lightly.

"According to the inspection report."

"Probably about 10 years of life."

"Your body is too strained, even with the help of longevity enzymes, it can only make the cells in your body divide 4-5 times more."

"The longevity effect of longevity enzymes, the earlier the effect, the better. For older people, it can only play a very small role."

Chapter 303 Zero Gravity Sequelae

Lu Yongchang's answer made the two of them fall into silence.

"ten years……"

There was some emotion in the old man's eyes: "Enough is enough!"

With a chuckle, he stretched out his hand and patted Hong Qiming beside him: "Qiming, you have to hurry up."

"I can only help you for ten years."

Hong Qiming's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, the smile on the old man's face grew stronger.

"Look at you two, why are you so sad!"

"I still have ten years left!"

Lu Yongchang pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty, showing an ugly smile.

"By the way, I'm going to rest for a while." The old man said lightly.

Hong Qiming was stunned for a moment, nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, you should have a good rest!"

The old man looked directly at Hong Qiming with flat eyes: "I mean, I am going to quit the parliament."

"This……"

"why?!"

Hong Qiming exclaimed in surprise: "Didn't you just say you wanted to help me..."

The old man smiled lightly and shook his head: "Qiming, if I'm here, what's your use?"

Hong Qiming was silent.

Rough words are not rough.

As long as the old congressman sits in the chair of the parliament, including Hong Qiming, they will subconsciously ask for his opinion.

The old man continued in a flat tone: "If something happens, it's not too late to call me."

Lu Yongchang on the side did not speak.

This kind of thing is not for him to intervene.

"By the way, Yongchang, is there any place suitable for retirement?" The old man changed the subject and asked Lv Yongchang with a smile, "I'm going to enjoy it from now on."

Lu Yongchang couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

retired life……

This is really difficult.

In his opinion, the observatory of [Earth] is the place with the best scenery.

But he can't let the old man enjoy his old age there, can he? !

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

"Old chairman, do you want to go to Proxima b?"

"Just in time, the surface infrastructure has come to an end."

……

two weeks later.

The old congressman departed on the newly opened flight.

In order to allow the elderly to have a comfortable environment, Lu Yongchang specially let Zero Proxima b carry out appropriate renovation work on some areas.

Although this will affect the construction progress of some projects.

But in Lv Yongchang's view, the contributions made by the old chairman to mankind are fully worthy of such treatment.

Lu Yongchang stood by the porthole, watching Xuannv No. [-] gradually go away, with a bit of emotion in his eyes.

"okay."

"It's time for us to get to work, too."

"Zero, inform Mo Zeyang and let them get ready." Lu Yongchang's eyes flickered, "Tomorrow, set off for Proxima b."

"Start the photonic computer research and development project!"

……

Early the next morning.

Lu Yongchang dressed neatly and came to the No. [-] port of [Earth].

The five Xuannv No. [-] stopped quietly in place.

A number of researchers have long been waiting in front.

"Academician Mo Zeyang!"

Lu Yongchang greeted loudly.

Mo Zeyang, who had nothing to do while waiting in front of Xuannv No. [-], his eyes lit up when he heard Lu Yongchang's voice, and he quickly raised his head to look at him.

"Professor Lu!"

Mo Zeyang walked up to meet him quickly: "You are here."

Lu Yongchang chuckled lightly: "Wait in a hurry?"

Mo Zeyang nodded with a wry smile: "It's not just waiting in a hurry."

"You don't know how I have lived these past few months."

"The scientific researchers under me come to ask me when I can start the research and development of photonic computers every now and then."

"I'm really..." As he said, he shook his head and sighed again and again.

Lu Yongchang laughed and patted Mo Zeyang on the shoulder.

"There's no way to do that."

"The research and development of photonic computers cannot be done on [Earth]."

"The work can only be done until the surface laboratory is completed."

"Okay, enough nonsense, board the ship."

While speaking, he walked quickly towards Xuannv No. [-] in front of him: "Today, let's go to see the scenery of alien stars."

……

Proxima b.

On a plain full of purple-black disc-shaped plants, there stands a building that is incompatible with the surrounding environment.

The building is in the shape of a cuboid, and the whole body is silver-white.

This is the photonic computer laboratory that has just been completed.

The five Xuannv II drew a graceful arc in the air and landed slowly on the tarmac.

The hatch opens.

A number of scientific researchers in spacesuits walked out one by one.

From a distance, the walking postures of these scientific researchers seem to be somewhat weird.

Zoom in.

The sense of strangeness is getting stronger.

The footsteps of every scientific researcher are extraordinarily heavy.

It was as if a huge stone had been pressed on him.

"Professor." Mo Zeyang's exhausted voice came from the radio channel, "Staying in space all the time, I really can't adapt to life on the surface of the planet."

Lu Yongchang strode forward with difficulty: "Yes."

"Not to mention, the gravity of Proxima b is 10% greater than that of the earth."

"If it weren't for the daily exercise, we probably wouldn't even be able to walk now."

This is the sequelae of living in a zero-gravity environment for a long time.

Inevitable.

Even exercising every day can only reduce its effects.

Osteoporosis, muscle atrophy...

These are minor effects.

If human beings grow up in a zero-gravity environment since childhood, they will even lose their sense of direction and gravity perception!

Although the short-term loss can be recovered by acquired means.

But if things go on like this, causing the sensory organs to degenerate, then the problem will become serious!

It is also true that since leaving the earth, human beings have stopped all reproductive behaviors.

On the one hand, it is to save resources, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent this "degeneration" phenomenon.

Thinking of this, Lu Yongchang murmured in a low voice.

"It seems that the next batch of starships needs to manufacture a batch of gravity-simulating devices."

For current humans, it is not difficult to manufacture a device that simulates gravity.

A large, rotating wheel-shaped structure provides what's known as "artificial gravity".

Unlike the gravity produced by planets, this artificial gravity is essentially centrifugal force.

By adjusting the angular velocity and the radius of the wheel-shaped structure, it can easily simulate an "artificial gravity" equal to that of the earth's surface.
