The last human in the universe

Chapter 44 Rewards
After receiving an affirmative answer from the director of industry again, Zhao Changxing sighed.

He has regressed again and again, as long as he can build a chemical-fueled spaceship, he didn't expect that he couldn't even do this.

People clearly know where the problem lies, it is nothing more than the performance of the material is not good enough.But so what?People also know how to do it to upgrade the performance of materials, what is the use?

Knowing how to do it doesn't necessarily mean being able to do it.In this way, the problem is back to the original point.

Too little population leads to insufficient industrial capacity, resulting in inability to promote, or it takes a long time to accumulate to promote the development of industrial capacity, to create related equipment to upgrade material performance, to create chemical fuel rockets, and to create space nurturing bases to increase population.

This has become an endless loop again.

"Leader, our stall...maybe it's really too big." The director of industry persuaded in a low voice: "Don't worry, just accumulate slowly. One day we will be able to overcome this technical problem."

Zhao Changxing sighed in a low voice: "Wasting the life of a generation? This is a crime against the entire civilization."

The head of industry was silent.

He knew that Zhao Changxing could almost be regarded as immortal.But the one who is most anxious, as if time is running out, is him.

"Chemical fuel spacecraft is the lowest solution to the problem, and there is no way to go back." Zhao Changxing sighed: "Let's issue a reward. See if anyone can find a solution to the problem."

"we can only do this."

In the No. [-] comprehensive base, Hu Ming hurried out of the supermarket, holding two apples in his hand, and walked quickly towards the dormitory area.

Stopping in front of a door, Hu Ming stopped, sorted his clothes nervously, brushed his hair, and knocked on the door cautiously.

"Who is it?"

There was a crisp sound from inside the door.

"Qi Yun, it's me, Hu Ming. I...I heard that you have a bad throat today, so I bought you two apples, you..."

The dormitory door was pulled open suddenly, revealing Qi Yun's angry face.

"I've said it before, we're done, we're done! Don't bother me anymore. I don't even have a house. If I marry you, will I have to live in this dormitory for the rest of my life?"

The second phase of the human city project is about to start.This batch is still 300 suites, and the occupancy qualifications will still be generated through selection.This matter has become the talk of everyone.

Unless they are extremely outstanding and have made a very significant contribution, it is almost impossible to pass the selection.

Listening to Qi Yun's words, Hu Ming felt as uncomfortable as a knife cut him.But he still squeezed out a smiling face and begged: "Qi Yun, give me some time, I can always make achievements to qualify, and I won't let you and me suffer."

"Ten years? Twenty years? Stop dreaming!"

"Qi Yun, Qi Yun, do you want to reconcile with me after I get the qualification?"

"Yeah, what's the matter? Just rely on you? I'm not qualified for a lifetime!"

Hu Ming's face gradually firmed up.

"Qi Yun, wait for me. I... I will definitely be qualified."

The door closed with a bang, and Hu Ming stood in front of the door in a daze for a long time before turning around and leaving slowly.

He's just a junior researcher right now.It is still a long way from making achievements and obtaining qualifications for review.

There is really no other way, so I can only, I can only...

He remembered an internal notice he saw when he was working in the special steel research institute during the day.

"A reward is offered to solve the problems related to high-performance special steel for chemical fuel spacecraft... The specific requirements are as follows. If anyone can solve it below the current industrial level, a set of houses for the second phase of the human city will be rewarded."

Hu Ming secretly clenched his fists.

"This house...is mine now."

He didn't even go back to the dormitory, and returned to the research institute overnight.

Qin Yu, a college classmate who was on duty tonight, was a little surprised to see Hu Ming go and come back.

"Qi Yun said that she would not reconcile with me without a house. With my rank, it is impossible to take it slowly. Now, I can only find a way to get the reward."

Looking at the determined Hu Ming, she hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Do you really... really love Qi Yun?"

Hu Ming nodded firmly: "I can't live without her."

Qin Yu returned to silence.

Hu Ming began to read a large number of materials and conduct a large number of related experiments.When there is no progress, I will think hard there.He didn't notice that Qin Yu also began to quietly learn about this special steel. When Hu Ming was conducting experiments, Qin Yu would always happen to be there, so he naturally started to help him.

Hu Ming put all his heart and soul into the research of manufacturing high-performance steel that meets the needs at the current industrial level.He is so devoted, so forgetting to eat and sleep, no matter whether he is eating or sleeping, he is always thinking about this problem in his head.

Until one day more than two months later.He didn't notice that something was wrong with Qin Yu's expression today.

Qin Yu seemed to be hesitating or contradicting something.Finally, Qin Yu walked towards him.

"Hu Ming, here is a paper that I don't quite understand, please help me read it."

It was a paper by an Earth Age materials expert.

"Well, this is about the property change of steel in a high-radiation vacuum environment, look..."

Hu Ming didn't think too much, and started talking eloquently.Qin Yu looked at him with admiration, and suddenly asked: "So the properties of steel will change so much in a high-radiation vacuum environment."

"Of course. Like...huh?"

Hu Ming seemed to suddenly remember something.He stood up suddenly: "Qin Yu, I'll tell you later. Now I have an idea, I have to study it."

He got up and hurried away.Qin Yu looked at his back and sighed softly.

"Why didn't I think of the changes that space radiation can cause to the properties of steel? This is worth studying carefully..."

He once again entered the realm of forgetting to eat and sleep.A few days later, when all the test data of a piece of steel sample appeared, a great joy finally enveloped him.

All the data show that in one of the two links of the processing process for manufacturing a certain type of steel, a processing process of irradiating cosmic high-energy radiation for a period of time is added, and the final steel produced has various indicators. It fully meets the requirements in the reward notice!
That house is mine now!Qi Yunken reconciled with me!
He jumped up, hitting his head on the ceiling without caring.

After finally regaining his composure, he picked up the sample steel and rushed towards the office of the director of industry.The director of industry showed great importance to this matter, and immediately arranged manpower to carry out the test.

The test results also showed exactly the same conclusion.

"Good job!" The director of industry patted Hu Ming heavily on the shoulder: "I'm going to report to the leader right now."

Hu Ming said nervously: "Then, that house..."

The Director of Industry laughed loudly: "Don't worry! You have made such a great contribution to our civilization, the leader will not only reward you with a house, but also the house with the best environment and the largest area!"

After receiving the personal promise from the director of industry, Hu Ming was finally relieved.At this moment, his whole body felt a little lighter.If Sedna didn't have a little gravity, he would definitely be able to fly.

He rushed to Qi Yun's dormitory like flying.He wanted to tell her the good news as soon as possible.Thinking of Qi Yun's surprised face, thinking of Qi Yun's big hug to himself, he seemed to be melting.

But the moment he was about to knock on the door, another figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

That was his college classmate, Qin Yu.

A pile of past events, one by one, came to my mind.Many things that were ignored in the past were suddenly remembered together.

He suddenly froze there.

"Why did Qin Yu come to me with that paper at that time? Her grades are also very good, so it's not like she can't understand this paper. She, is she reminding me of something? Could it be Could it be that Qin Yu knew the solution to this problem a long time ago, but deliberately gave it to me? She, she..."

"Is Qi Yun really suitable for me? Does she really love me? Is it really worth it for me to do this?"

In front of Qi Yun's dormitory, Hu Ming was stunned for a long time.Inwardly, he asked himself many questions.

The door opened suddenly.Suddenly seeing Hu Ming standing in front of the door, Qi Yun was startled, and then said angrily: "What are you looking for me again? Don't bother me anymore, we're done, we're done! We don't even have a house, I really don't know where your face is pestering my old lady!"

Hu Ming secretly smiled wryly in his heart, and then Nuonuo said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm leaving now."

He took a deep look at Qi Yun, turned around and left.At this moment, the TV in Qi Yun's room suddenly made a sound.

"Interlude an urgent news. Researcher Hu Ming from the Special Steel Research Institute has just solved the problem of special steel for the combustion chamber of chemical fuel spacecraft. After research by the human government, it has been decided to reward Researcher Hu Ming with a house for the second phase of the Human City project..."

Qi Yun was stunned for a moment.She subconsciously called out Hu Ming's name, but Hu Ming ran away without looking back.Her body slowly fell to the ground, her face full of despair.

When Hu Ming rushed back to the research institute, he saw that Qin Yu was still busy there.

"Qin Yu, Qin Yu, you already knew how to solve that problem, but you deliberately gave up the honor to me, right?"

Qin Yu stared at Hu Ming in a daze, and murmured, "You know everything?"

"I, I..." Hu Ming muttered for a moment, and finally mustered up his courage: "Qin Yu, I'm sorry, you've been so good to me, but I didn't realize it. Me, me, you, will you marry me? Let's go together Move to Human City..."

Qin Yu's staring eyes suddenly filled with anger.She jumped up all of a sudden, and slapped Hu Ming heavily on the shoulder: "I treat you so well because I always treat you like a brother! But you want to sleep with my old lady!"
