In Yanjing City, night falls.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, Yanjing time.

Everything here still runs according to the time it did thousands of years ago when the earth was still orbiting the sun.

So normally, Lin Xu would have gone to bed at this time.

Although after genetic modification, he can use less sleep time to give his brain enough rest, but he still tries to ensure about seven hours of sleep every day.

This made him feel that he was still the same person he was before and that he hadn't changed much.

Just as he allows the city to still run according to Yanjing time, he is always reminding himself that no matter where you are in the universe, you are an earthling and you belong to the earth.

It's just that today is a little different, so Lin Xu stayed up a little late.

Because today is the Chinese New Year after a long absence.

Still sitting in the yard, an ancient fifty-inch LCD TV was placed on a low table not far away.

In this era where holographic projections have completely replaced TVs, you can still find this LCD TV. Not surprisingly, the factory has now been started to produce it for Lin Xu.

That is, Lin Xu can enjoy this special treatment.

What was shown on TV was the Spring Festival Gala.

It's not this year. It's impossible for Lin Xu to be the only one on earth to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala.

So what was broadcast on TV was the Spring Festival Gala in 2051, the first New Year after Lin Xu was frozen into hibernation in 2050 due to cancer.

It was also a party that Lin Xu had never seen before.

To be honest, after Lin Xu grew up, he basically never watched the Spring Festival Gala. Whether it was when he went home to celebrate the New Year in college or when he lived with his ex-girlfriend, the Spring Festival Gala was basically shown on TV during the Chinese New Year. When I was playing with my mobile phone, I didn’t even pay attention to what programs were broadcast during the Spring Festival Gala.

It can be said that today's Spring Festival Gala is the only one that Lin Xu has truly watched the entire Spring Festival Gala since he grew up, without starting to play with his mobile phone halfway through.

What Lin Xu complained about countless times at the beginning, such as the Spring Festival Gala program was rubbish, not good to watch, etc., in Lin Xu's eyes today, has become a happy worry.

Lin Xu suddenly remembered something.

Every day we live may be a series of miracles.

It was past midnight, and Lin Xu was eating dumplings made by Miss Qiu herself and watching the countdown to midnight on TV.

The old year has passed and the new year has arrived.

It's just that the year 2051 is coming on the TV, and the year 10891 is coming to Lin Xu.

The TV started to show the scene of fireworks being set off after midnight.

Lin Xu also looked at the sky above his head, but unfortunately there were no fireworks.

Just when Lin Xu was feeling a little emotional, suddenly the false night sky above his head slowly became transparent, and the real dark starry sky outside the ecological dome appeared in Lin Xu's eyes.

Although the earth is moving at twice the speed of light, twice the speed of light is too small compared to the scale of the universe.

Therefore, the starry sky will not show signs of shaking due to the rapid movement of the earth itself. It will still stay stable in the sky, but its position will have changed significantly from when the earth was still in the solar system.

The fake sky just now, the simulated starry sky of the Earth era, the clearly visible Big Dipper, etc., have all disappeared in the real sky now.

In other words, even if you can still see it, because of the change in the relative position of the earth, the Big Dipper you see is no longer what it used to be like a spoon.

This is also the reason why the eco-dome displays a false starry sky at night, just to increase the immersion of living in the era of the solar system.

Of course, that's not the point right now.

The key point is that with the appearance of the real sky, located around the ecological dome of Yanjing City, fireworks with obvious tail flames rushed towards the sky, and then exploded above the ecological dome.

The gorgeous fireworks instantly rendered the entire Yanjing City colorful.

In order to cope with this moment, the entire Yanjing City even turned off the lights.

Lin Xu looked at all this in surprise.

"Master, Happy New Year." Miss Qiu said from behind Lin Xu.

"This is?" Lin Xu was confused.

"I arranged it. Does the master like it?" Miss Qiu's voice was still calm, but Lin Xu seemed to hear the tension in it.

"I like it very much, thank you." Lin Xu smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Miss Qiu also laughed. The smile was light, happy, and a little relieved.

Before doing this, she also thought about what to do if Lin Xu didn't like it, but she did it anyway.

Some are impulsive and some do not conform to rational thinking.

But she did it anyway.

Lin Xu felt relieved.

Not only the fireworks, but also Miss Qiu finally looked more and more like a person.

She no longer focuses on rationality in everything, but occasionally does some emotional things.

This is good.

"Okay, the New Year is over, it's time to go to bed." Lin Xu stretched.

The sleep he was talking about at this time was naturally not just sleeping, but sleeping in a dormant chamber.

The Earth has been sailing for many days after leaving the Test Site No. 1 planet.

At this time, through the ashes after the fireworks burned, Lin Xu could still see a corner of the sky, which was so far away that it was so small that it became the Test Site No. 1 planet as an ordinary star.

After a while, I am afraid that even this star will not be visible to the naked eye.

After all, the universe is too big, and a star that can be seen from a far enough distance must at least be a star.

Planet Test Site No. 1 is far from qualified for this.

In this way, after leaving the Test Site No. 1 Planet, Lin Xu waited for a few more days. After a year, he entered the dormant state again.

After Miss Qiu closed the dormant cabin for Lin Xu, she also started hibernating in the dormant cabin next to her.

Miss Qiu, who underwent a new genetic transformation with Lin Xu and also gained a lifespan of five thousand years, should theoretically accompany Lin Xu throughout his life.

Then when Lin Xu sleeps, she must also sleep.

Ensure that the physical aging of the two people is basically synchronized.

Until a hundred years pass again.

Miss Qiu was awakened by the intelligent quantum computer Taiyin on duty ten minutes ahead of Lin Xu.

Then Miss Qiu came out of the dormant cabin, sorted out the current situation a little, and then woke up Lin Xu.

"Master, you are awake. The current time is 10991 in the voyage calendar. Your sleep time has ended. After a hundred years of navigation, the earth is about to arrive at the target galaxy. Later, the intelligent computer Taiyin on duty will report the latest information to you. "Miss Qiu said after Lin Xu opened his eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Xu walked out of the dormant cabin.

After stretching his body a little and feeling nothing strange, he walked towards the dormitory room and asked.

"Taiyin, please report the latest situation."

"Okay, human Lin Xu, I will introduce to you the latest information collected on the asteroid belt."

Miss Qiu followed Lin Xu as usual.
