Chen Feng and Qian Yue got married, and the two naturally moved into the same room. Their original roommates had to find new candidates.
Perhaps stimulated by the marriage of these two people, several people applied for marriage to Zhao Changxing one after another. Every time he gets married, Zhao Changxing always organizes a dinner party for everyone and takes out precious fruits to make juice for everyone to enjoy. In the end, only Sun Caiyun and Wang Feng were left unmarried. The two of them seemed to dislike each other quite a bit.
Of course, Zhao Changxing would not choose to match up these two people randomly. This kind of thing ultimately depends on the individual. Besides, the age gap between the second generation children is honestly not that big compared to the first generation children, so it’s not like they don’t have other choices.
Shortly after her first marriage, Qian Yue's belly began to swell. Faced with the first child who was about to be born naturally through natural conception in the depths of the distant starry sky, almost everyone expressed extreme importance. All Qian Yue's work was immediately cancelled, and he also had great freedom in his diet. Zhao Changxing would give her almost whatever she wanted to eat. Even for extremely precious apples, Zhao Changxing gave her a quota of one apple every five days.
At the same time, this also brought some additional pressure to Zhao Changxing. He once again really felt the growth of the population, and although the food reserves and production levels were still acceptable at the moment, he still had a sense of urgency to expand the scale of food production.
If you want to expand the scale of food production, you need to build new planting workshops. If you want to build a new planting workshop, you must have various production lines. I didn’t say anything, just keep working.
In order for the children to grow up safely and healthily, Zhao Changxing once again devoted himself to production and construction.
More than nine months after Qian Yue became pregnant, it was time for her final delivery. To be cautious, Zhao Changxing took her to the Fire spacecraft and completed the birth in the medical room.
All kinds of extremely precious medicines have been prepared, and people with the same blood type as her have donated blood. In the pre-teen courses, the two people who specially took medicine as an elective course felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. Perhaps because of luck, all these preparations were not used, and the baby was born smoothly.
This is a baby boy, weighing about seven pounds.
On the hospital bed, Qian Yue, who looked weak, looked at the baby with eyes full of love and pity. When Zhao Changxing came over, she said to Zhao Changxing: "Dad, you decide what the child's surname and name will be."
Zhao Changxing smiled and shook his head: "This is a naturally conceived child. There is no need to arrange it according to the surnames of hundreds of families. In the past, on earth, children usually took the surname of their parents. Should it be your surname Qian or Chen Feng's surname Chen? , you two can decide for yourself. You can also choose your own name."
"Thank you dad."
Zhao Changxing looked at the sleeping baby and once again truly felt the joy of the birth of a new life.
"The children are growing up and even have children of their own. I am also getting older..."
Zhao Changxing felt a little emotional.
There is a mirror in front of you. Zhao Changxing's eyes swept over it and looked elsewhere. But the next moment, he turned his eyes back and stared at his face in the mirror, stunned.
Being busy all day long left him little time and energy to pay attention to the changes in his face. But this time, he once again really felt that it seemed, seemed, seemed...
His face has not changed at all compared to when he first came to Sedna a few decades ago.
"Dad, I noticed how come you don't seem to grow old? I remember you were the same as you are now when I was a child. Now that we have grown up, you are still the same..."
Zheng Yan, who was also pregnant and had a big belly, asked this question with some confusion.
This question caught everyone's attention. Several of them seemed to have just discovered this problem, and after careful observation, they also exclaimed in surprise.
"It seems like this is really the case..."
"Really..."
Zhao Changxing smiled bitterly and said: "This is nothing. In the past, some stars on earth could still play boys and girls when they were fifty or sixty years old, and they didn't feel uncomfortable at all."
"But Dad, you haven't taken care of yourself."
"By the way, don't we have equipment here to measure bone age, bone density, muscle density and so on? Let Dad test it."
"Yeah, let's test it."
Unable to defeat the children, Zhao Changxing had to take a test. When the results came out, everyone opened their mouths in shock.
"This this……"
All data shows that Zhao Changxing is only 27 years old this year. Not only the data, but also Zhao Changxing's appearance, muscle reaction speed, nerve reaction speed and other physical indicators also showed this result.
It seemed that from the moment he successfully woke up from the hibernation cabin, Zhao Changxing's physical age had been frozen at that moment.
"Could it be that...Dad, can you, can you live forever?"
Zhao Changxing's thoughts were also a little confused.
"I do not know……"
In order to clarify this matter, people specially used the genetic analysis equipment carried on the spacecraft to perform a genetic analysis on Zhao Changxing. But I didn't find anything wrong. So this matter became an unsolved case. But no matter how you look at it, this is a good thing.
"Maybe I can really live until the day when humanity is revived? If that's the case, then..."
Zhao Changxing was filled with anxiety. However, there is no way to prove or falsify this matter for the time being. Let’s take one step at a time and then talk about it.
The busy daily work soon made Zhao Changxing put this matter behind him. Next, three more babies were born one after another. At this moment, the second generation of children has also reached the age of ten.
"According to the plan, it's time to breed the third generation of children."
After the decision was announced, there was no objection from the first generation of children who had grown up and could participate in the decision-making. During this period of work, they deeply realized that there is strength in numbers. They are even more eager than Zhao Changxing to expand the population.
Without enough population, almost no major projects can be completed.
Expanding the population is not only in the interests of civilization as a whole, but also in the interests of individuals.
With everyone's approval, the work of reproducing the third generation of children soon began in earnest. But this time, Zhao Changxing left the specific work of artificial insemination, embryo transplantation, and artificial uterus cultivation to two first-generation children who specialized in medicine. Of course, it was under the guidance of Zhao Changxing.
This time, Zhao Changxing plans to breed 60 animals. The reason why we set this number, rather than more or less, is firstly to take into account the carrying capacity of Humanity Base No. 1 in the next few years, secondly to take into account the ability to take care of children at this moment, and thirdly to maximize the population and civilization. Overall productivity considerations.
After comprehensive evaluation, the number was finally set at 60.
After more than nine months, when 60 babies were finally born, Zhao Changxing was pleased to see that the population of human civilization had finally officially exceeded the 100 mark.
There are 10 first-generation children. 30 for the second generation and 60 for the third generation, exactly 100. Including myself, the number is 101, which is just a breakthrough. Add in the four naturally conceived children, and the number is 105.
By this time, the first generation of children had reached 25 years old. It has been 26 years since Zhao Changxing came to Sedna. His age is already 53 years old - although he still looks 27 years old.
At this moment, from the appearance, the age difference between the first generation children and Zhao Changxing is no longer visible. If this continues, the children may even turn gray-haired, but Zhao Changxing will still look like a young man. In this case, it seems inappropriate to still let the children call daddy.
Zhao Changxing proposed that the children change their names, but the children firmly refused. They believe that age and appearance are just appearances, and dad will always be dad. Seeing that he could not convince them, Zhao Changxing had no choice but to let nature take its course.
At this moment, almost 12 years have passed since the completion of the No. 1 base. It is still about 7 years before the construction of the new planting base must start according to the original calculation.
In other words, Zhao Changxing must complete all preparations for building a new planting base in the next seven years. Otherwise, the project would have to be delayed. The second and third generation children are also growing up, and by then, there will not be enough food to eat.
Fortunately, the advancement of "handicraft industrialization" has been relatively smooth. During this period, Zhao Changxing and the first generation of children - no, they should be called young people at this moment, have completed the sulfuric acid production line, ethylene production line, synthetic rubber, fiber, plastic production line, ethanol production line, hydrochloric acid, hydrogenation Sodium production line and many other production lines, and the scale has been increased to a limited extent. If we proceed step by step, we are sure to complete the relevant work on time.
Five years later, the first integrated board for the planting base was finally produced by Zhao Changxing and his young people, and it passed various tests.
This is a remarkable achievement, which means that human civilization finally once again has a considerable degree of industrial capability. For this reason, Zhao Changxing celebrated once again.
The next work required is to simplify and optimize the process, improve production efficiency, and improve the pass rate. However, the preliminary preparations for the construction of the second planting base can also be started.
"We will build the second production base underground instead of above ground. Although this will increase the amount of work, it will greatly reduce the requirements for building materials. At least, we no longer need to consider the radiation protection performance of building materials. "
With the thick Sedna star rock layer as a shield, of course there is no need for a radiation protection layer.
Not far from Base No. 1, Zhao Changxing, wearing a space suit, pointed to his feet under the gaze of the young people.
"The new planting base is built here. Its area is... ten thousand square meters."
