Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 1247
Xia Feng has been living on No. 1 Sky Island for five full years since he was picked up on the ground by the XTIA engineering vehicle of the Hongya Federation.

Except for the first 3 years of study, he was basically qualified to work as a researcher for the remaining 2 years, and he was in charge of it himself. At the same time, the [Ancient Stone Analysis] project, which he acted as the experimental subject, was almost completed.

From being ignorant and cautious at the beginning, to becoming more proficient in the middle, and now being handy, he has also completed the transformation from rookie to veteran.

In the past 5 years, Lu Yu's assistant who was responsible for guiding him at the beginning has now become Dr. Lu Yu. In the special research group, he is also a good partner who is both a teacher and a friend.

As a matter of course, he, who is known as "Old Fried Tiao", also has juniors who joined after him.

For example, this young man named Li Minghe.

At night, the light of the Eternal Lighthouse is automatically turned off, and is only illuminated by the lights inside the sky island.

The living area, the bar here and all entertainment venues are all unmanned, and all services are replaced by intelligent robots.

Today, the air islands in the Red Asia Federation have eliminated the concept of currency and replaced it with a point system tied to personal identity. With fingerprints, people can enjoy all the conveniences in terms of basic necessities of life.

Of course, under such a generous policy, the only condition is absolute compliance with the rules, including the environmental protection of Sky Island and various benign habits in daily life.

All public places in the sky island are covered by surveillance cameras with no dead ends. Any violations will be detected immediately. Depending on the severity of the violations, punishments such as warnings, point deduction, restriction of freedom, and permanent imprisonment will be imposed.

In the living area of ​​Sky Island, in a certain bar, four colleagues including Xia Feng came to a party other than work after a long absence.

With Zhang Jin, an active optimist, the atmosphere at the table will definitely not be deserted.

"Lao Xia, come on, don't be so sad, drink."

Xia Feng pouted.

"How can I have a sad face, isn't it always like this?"

Lu Yu smiled playfully.

"Xia Feng, I'm not talking about you. When I first met you, you always pretended to be melancholy. Although there are many unsatisfactory things in life, you lost your memory. Shouldn't you laugh heartily, hahaha."

Zhang Jin laughed out loud together.

"That's right, Lao Xia, be happy."

"Yeah, Xia Feng, if you pretend to be so deep, you won't be able to find a girlfriend."

Zhang Jin raised his wine glass high.

"That's right, it's rare that the beautiful Lu Yu came out to accompany us today, she is a doctor now, Xia Feng, hurry up and toast."

Facing the ridicule of these two people singing together, although Xia Feng was speechless, he was still very relieved in his heart.

After all, on this empty island, he also has real friends.

"Okay, okay, I'll just smile more in the future, come on, drink, Li Minghe, don't be stiff, just be casual in private, cheers!"

Wearing black-rimmed glasses, the thin Li Minghe raised his wine glass with both hands and squeezed out a stiff smile.

"Alright, Senior Xia, I respect you."

It can be seen that Li Minghe, who has just joined the job, is not good at communicating with his colleagues.

After drinking for three rounds, it's night time.

During the period, Zhang Jin, who was drunk, shared many interesting things in life and complained about many difficulties in work.

Although Lu Yu has now been promoted to a Ph.D., her lively and cheerful personality still makes her unassuming, and she can speak freely, crying and laughing with Zhang Jin one cup after another.

Finally, a few minutes after the service robot at the bar issued a prompt of [overdrinking], Lu Yu successfully vomited.

"vomit!"

Zhang Jin was taken aback.

"Hey, my aunt, don't throw up here, I'll take you to the bathroom."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Jin staggered away while supporting Lu Yu.

After the two left, the wine table fell silent.

Xia Feng and the young Li Minghe sat on the same side of the wine table, neither spoke.

After a long time, Xia Feng was the first to break the silence.

"Li Minghe."

"Senior, I'm here."

Seeing that he was still very reserved, Xia Feng smiled kindly.

"Oh, you still haven't relaxed, but there's nothing you can do about it. This kind of thing can't be changed in a day or two."

Li Minghe scratched his face in embarrassment.

"Yes, I'm usually introverted, and I basically don't know anything except professional research, ah, but I think, Senior Xia, you are a good person, especially for me who just joined the special research team. Thank you very much. "

Xia Feng's voice is peaceful.

"You're welcome, everyone is a colleague, I am very casual, you don't even need to call me senior, just call me by my name."

"How about that, you are the project leader now."

Xia Feng smiled wryly and shook his head.

"It's not a great project. To put it bluntly, it's just a study of myself."

"No, I think you're great, and I've heard a few things about you."

"You heard about my memory loss, right?"

"kindness"

Looking at Li Minghe's youthful face, Xia Feng's expression on his bearded face was slightly complicated.

"how old are you?"

"I am 20 years old."

"20 years old, so young."

Realizing that Xia Feng is really a very easy-going person in private, Li Minghe gradually relaxed and asked.

"Senior Xia, may I ask, what is your age?"

Xia Feng shook his head lightly.

"I don't know, there's no way, I don't remember anything except the life after I came to Sky Island."

"Ah, sorry, I lost my word."

Xia Feng stretched out his hand and patted Li Minghe's shoulder lightly.

"It's okay, I don't care at all."

Withdrawing his hand, he raised his head slightly.

"As Lu Yu said, there are many unsatisfactory things in life. Sometimes, forgetting is not necessarily a bad thing."

A few minutes passed, Zhang Jin and the others still didn't come back.

After chatting with Li Minghe a lot, the atmosphere was still somewhat dull. As a senior, Xia Feng could only find a topic.

"By the way, Li Minghe, were you born on Sky Island No. 1?"

"No, my home is on Sky Island 247."

Xia Feng nodded.

"So that's the case, then you probably don't have many friends here. You just started working, and your family must not have accompanied you here."

Li Minghe replied truthfully.

"Yes, this is my first time living alone on a strange empty island."

"Lonely?"

"It's okay."

Speaking of this, Li Minghe pondered for a moment, then, as if mustering up his courage, he decided to share a little secret with Xia Feng.

"Senior Xia."

"kindness?"

"Actually. Today is my birthday. Thank you for inviting me out for a drink today. It's a small celebration for me, thank you."

Hearing these words, Xia Feng froze for a moment.

"It's your birthday today, why didn't you say it earlier? We can help you celebrate, at least we have to make a cake."

Li Minghe waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, no, my birthday is not that important. This is enough. I didn't want to say it at first, but you talked with me a lot tonight. I think you are very sincere, so I don't want to hide this little secret that is not worth mentioning. .”

Combined with Li Minghe's introverted personality, Xia Feng also expressed his understanding.

"Well, then there is no special celebration for you."

"Well, don't bother."

"However, the gift still needs to have a symbolic one."

"what?"

After all, Xia Feng straightened up, fumbled in the inner pocket of his coat for a long time, and finally took out something.

"Don't be nervous, it's not an expensive gift, here it is."

"Ding!"

A silver coin was placed on the table by Xia Feng.

Li Minghe gently picked up the coin and looked at it carefully.

"Senior Xia, this is."

Xia Feng picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then said casually.

"It's a coin. Actually, I don't know where it came from. Lu Yu said that when I was picked up on Sky Island, this coin was on me together with the other two swords. Something of value."

Hearing the origin of the coin, Li Minghe immediately became nervous.

"This is too expensive, I can't accept it"

Xia Feng waved his hand.

"Ham, it's not valuable at all. Anyway, I have forgotten everything now. Since I used to carry it with me all the time, it must be something like an amulet, but now I am a scientific researcher, so it is very Believe in science, haha."

Putting down the wine glass, Xia Feng smiled.

"Accept it, just take it as a commemoration, to commemorate your first birthday away from home, Li Minghe, happy birthday."
