Chapter 493: This day...not too far away
"Is this... a dream?"
Madeline looked at everything in front of her in disbelief, from the beginning when the other party opened the space door out of thin air to the outer space world that seemed to appear behind, alien orcs.
The most incredible thing is that the other party demonstrates the knowledge in the science and technology tree...
The mutation of biology and energy, the decomposition of genetic codes, the answers I could not find before were like a necessary course in this science and technology tree, like a basic foundation, and above it, the huge knowledge chain made her extremely awe-inspiring at the same time...
For people like them, new knowledge is far more delicious than any delicacy in the world, and these things in front of them are tantamount to the dragon liver and phoenix marrow that can only be eaten by ordinary people in the fairy world...
She wanted to slap herself or pinch herself countless times to see if it was a wonderful dream, but she couldn't bear to let it go, for fear that if she really slaps down, the extremely wonderful things in front of her will turn into ashes, and when she wakes up, she will face the empty laboratory...
"Is this old woman okay?" In the satellite base, others were sitting beside melon seeds. Wang Goudan said curiously: "I've been there for an afternoon..."
"You are also a college student. Can't you understand this feeling of longing for knowledge?" Xiao Baicai said contemptuously.
"I can't understand!" Wang Goudan said righteously: "From the beginning of elementary school and until I was admitted to the normal school, I have changed a lot, but my heart that doesn't want to study has never changed!!"
Everyone: "......"
"Is this true?"
I don’t know how long it took for everyone to play mahjong for more than a hundred rounds, but Madeline barely pulled out of the things displayed by the technology tree species. She silently touched her gurgling belly. Obviously, if it weren’t for hunger, everyone might have to play mahjong for dozens of times...
"Are you really not an answer?" Alice asked with a smile.
Madeline was stunned for a moment, then showed her most joyful smile: "Yes..."
These things cannot be compiled, and the various technological equations in them are extremely precise. As a top biologist, she cannot find any problem...
Not right...
Madeline smiled bitterly. Seeing this huge knowledge base, how could she be called the top word? I'm afraid she can only be considered an apprentice who has just started...
When she thought of this, her originally excited expression became more bitter, and tears flowed out of her eyes.
Seeing the other person's appearance, the group of people suddenly became shocked, including Alice, who was a little curious because the other person's sadness was very real...
"Why are you sad?" Alice asked.
"You... Why didn't you find me earlier?" Madeline sat on the ground almost powerlessly, like a little girl who had lost her favorite player, almost burst into tears: "So many things and so much knowledge, how can I have enough time?"
Everyone was stunned. The other party cried so sadly because they didn’t have enough time to absorb the knowledge!
For a moment, a strong feeling surged in my heart, including Wang Goudan, who had the thickest skin, who had inexplicably calmed down...
Alice looked at Madeline blankly, and a suddenness flashed in her eyes. To be honest, she sometimes envied these scientists who were devoted to research, as if she would never feel empty or bored in her life... She would always sigh that there was not enough time...
In the world of death, the only ones who will not be driven crazy by the long years are those former scientists!
Sometimes I suddenly feel that it is reasonable to persuade people to read more?
-----------------------------------------------------
After Madeline was brought into the New Territories, Old Joseph stayed to handle the aftermath. As a guy who was determined to say goodbye to the world, he naturally had to deal with the funeral...
Xiao Baicai once told him that he could keep his body, but he was not at all nostalgic. What did he miss? All his relatives died. Did he remember that his cheating wife or the son who had been raising him for more than ten years before he knew that he was not his own child?
After leaving the institute, he took a taxi and headed towards the municipal government. He had to explain some things clearly, at least he could not let too much trouble for his departure.
Now, the only thing he still has a little nostalgia for is Houston, whom he has fought for for many years...
When Morey in the office heard that Old Joseph was coming in his direction, he was shocked first, and then asked the secretary to turn down all his itinerary this afternoon.
He also wanted to know the reason why this old opponent suddenly returned but gave up the election, and was also curious about the other party's purpose at this time...
He didn't wait long, and the traffic in Houston was already good. Soon he looked through the office window at the old man who was afraid of him and walked in.
Along the way, many grassroots employees greeted Old Joseph respectfully. Judging from the sincerity of their faces, they obviously respected the former mayor very much. At least they had never felt this respect in the past three years in office...
Maybe it was because I reduced their end-of-year bonus?
"Long time no see, Mr. Joseph!"
When the two met, Morey used an extremely clichéd opening remark.
Old Joseph smiled gently and looked at the office with some emotion. The decorations were completely inconsistent with when he was there before. Obviously, the other party's taste was completely different from his own...
Seeing this completely different office decoration, Old Joseph suddenly felt that the city had less final connection with him.
"Do you have time to talk?" Old Joseph Wen asked kindly.
"Of course!" Morey spread his hands. He still had to respect this senior enough. After all, he was almost squeezed off the stage by the other party.
"I'm going to die..." After the two of them sat down, Old Joseph almost jumped up again.
"What did you say?" Morey said in a daze.
"I have a terminal illness and don't have much time to live, so I only received the notice..." Old Joseph said calmly.
I see.....
Morey suddenly realized that all the puzzled contradictions were explained instantly. An old man who was finally about to have his second year of career suddenly received a terminal illness notice. It was reasonable to disappear for two days to relieve his mood and finally choose to withdraw from the election...
"There is a lawyer in my gang named John. He is a very good young man. He has a great contribution to my election so much. I want to recommend him to you..."
Morey was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the other party with some complexity. He believed that the other party was not lying. The young man named John should be indeed very capable. He recommended the other party to him before he died, probably because he did not want to let the young man down.
If I were myself, under the blow of this terminal illness, it would be good not to retaliate against society. There are only a few who can still think of repaying favors before death...
"Okay...I'm missing the position of an administrative secretary here. If he is as good as you said, my family will even consider supporting him in the election..."
A very bearish assumption that the position of the administrative secretary does not have much political weight. As for the family's support for elections in the future, it is more like painting a big pie...
Joseph nodded after hearing this, and then said, "I hope the fourth zone can function normally again..."
As soon as this was said, Morey frowned. No one likes an ex to point fingers at his current administrative style. Although the results in the past three years are indeed very bad, he still only thinks that his operation has made mistakes, which does not mean that he will agree with the other party's political concepts...
"I just suggest..." Old Joseph laughed: "Houston's foundation has always been the medical industry. Although many young people are keen on finance and IT and look down on manufacturing, some things, in this world, will never be outdated..."
"I will consider it..." Morey nodded perfunctorily.
Old Joseph smiled and did not continue to force it. He came just to fight for John and this city he had worked hard for. As for whether he could succeed, he could not control it. He could also see that the other party had no threat to him at all after knowing that he had a terminal illness. Naturally, a person who was about to die would not have much weight.
"Okay, I have to say so much, I'll say goodbye to Mayor Morey..." Old Joseph stood up with a smile.
Morey was stunned for a moment. He thought the other party would argue with him more, but he didn't expect that he would say goodbye and leave just a few light words. He wouldn't really take his perfunctory words seriously, right?
"What are your last days?" Morey asked curiously.
Old Joseph, who walked to the door, smiled slightly when he heard this: "Apply for euthanasia, die early and be reborn..."
Morey: "......"
Is it an illusion?
Morey had a little doubt inexplicably. For some reason, he always felt that this terminally ill old man had confidence in his eyes that he could not see through, and he also felt that he would stand in a high position that he needed to look up to in the near future!
But then he immediately shook his head and threw this ridiculous idea out of his mind, thinking it was ridiculous, why did he feel this way about a bad old man who was about to die?
-----------------------------------------------
At this time, Joseph, who walked out of the mayor's office, walked easily. Although he did not achieve the expected results, he was not in a hurry, because he knew that the current political situation in the world is only temporary. When the alien civilization develops, this force will sooner or later be exposed to the world. At that time, the whole world will undergo earth-shaking changes, and all forces will face a reshuffle!
At that time, the city of Houston would become meaningless. It would be able to build a city or even country that is more beautiful than Houston. I believe that no one will choose to stay in Morey by then...
