Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

And in a year like this.

August,

Mo Dao convened a group of core researchers from the Qiusu Research Institute and held an important meeting about the Qiusu Research Institute.

In the large conference room at the Qiusuo Research Institute,

On the day when the meeting of all core researchers of Qiusuo Research Institute was decided to be held,

Modao was already sitting in the conference room early.

When the core researchers at the Qiusuo Research Institute finished their research and other work and rushed towards the conference room one after another,

When they saw the old man sitting in front of the conference room, they were stunned for a moment, and then quickly sat down in the seat marked with his name.

Before the scheduled start time of the meeting,

All core researchers on site have been present, and core researchers working on the moon, Mars and other places also participated in the meeting via video.

After multiple body expansions,

At this moment, there are more than a thousand core researchers in the Qiusuo Research Institute, belonging to different fields.

However, this does not affect the fact that every core researcher here is considered to be the top expert in his field.

Before Mo Dao formally spoke, the entire large conference room seemed extremely quiet.

This plenary meeting of core researchers exceeded expectations.

The vast majority of core researchers don’t know the reason why so many core researchers were called to this meeting.

Everyone's eyes were basically focused on their dean and chief engineer, Mo Dao.

Although at this time,

As age increases, energy declines.

Most of Mo Dao's previous work for Qiusuo Research Institute has been assigned to a few students he has brought along in the past few years.

Mo Dao is only engaged in a small amount of research work that can be carried out. He is thinking about some issues within the scope of his energy.

But this does not affect the perception of all researchers at the Qiusuo Research Institute.

Chief Master Mo is still the backbone, the core of Qiusu Research Institute, and the direction of Qiusu Research Institute.

If Mo Dao is a general, then the entire Qiusuo Research Institute is equivalent to Mo Dao's soldiers.

They charged in the direction Mo Dao pointed.

Even though each of them is doing work in different fields, there is always an overall framework, and this framework is always drawn by Mo Dao.

At this moment, looking at the old man sitting at the front of the conference room,

None of the core researchers seemed anxious.

They didn't know what Chief Mo had called everyone to do.

But Commander Mo is still there, so there is nothing to worry about.

"..."

Mo Dao sat in front, looking at the younger and older core researchers.

However, even among the group of core researchers, there is basically no one who is older than Mo Dao.

However, as long as Mo Dao is still sitting here,

All core researchers and other researchers subconsciously ignored this issue.

Mo Dao held the edge of the conference table with his hands, faced all the core researchers, and stood up little by little.

At this moment, he is eighty years old.

In many previous lives, when he was this age, he had given up going to places that were too far away.

Qin Huaishi, who was just accompanying him, spent the last period of time peacefully.

The aging of the body is actually quite obvious on Mo Dao.

He doesn't care about death, but his body is still affected by aging.

Even at this moment, his movement of getting up from the seat was actually a little staggering.

However, for most researchers at the Qiusuo Institute, and even most people in the world,

The name Mo Dao has become somewhat mythical.

Almost instinctively, most people seem to ignore the objective fact that Mo Dao will age.

Only when he suddenly saw signs of aging in Mo Dao at a certain moment, he was suddenly stunned.

When he realized it, Mo Dao was already eighty years old.

Holding the edge of the table with his hand, Mo Dao glanced at the core researchers attending the meeting one by one.

After a pause, Mo Dao spoke the first sentence of the meeting,

"I'm about to die."

Mo Dao's words were obviously beyond the expectations of the core researchers.

It even goes beyond the subconscious and habitual cognition of the core researchers.

How could Commander Mo die?

Commander Mo seemed to be always in front of them, guiding the way forward.

How could he die?

Many core researchers reacted immediately.

These smart brains are basically relatively rational when faced with research problems and issues of their own life and death.

Some older core researchers have mentioned that they are old more than once.

But I never thought that Master Mo would grow old or die.

However, chasing Mo Dao's voice and looking at Mo Dao,

The obvious signs of aging they saw in Mo Dao forced them to face this iron-clad cruel fact.

Chief Master Mo stood with his hands on the edge of the table, his eyes still wise and peaceful, as if he could see most truths in this world and accept most things happening.

But the arms are already a little thin, the backs of the hands are much older, and the skin on the face is inevitably a lot looser.

The figure is also a bit stooped.

Standing there, he seemed to be shaking slightly.

Chief Master Mo is indeed old.

Forced to eliminate subconscious habits,

After realizing this,

Some of the core researchers were a little excited.

I want to use normal words to comfort the elderly, but I don’t want to comfort them.

But no one can speak,

Such words are meaningless to a wise man like Master Mo.

And the mood is more peaceful than they have always been, and there is no need for any comfort.

Others feel a little confused,

This is a kind of confusion where the backbone has been withdrawn.

Perhaps even if Mo Dao leaves, it will not have much impact on the current research in most fields of the Qiusuo Institute.

Because in the past few years, Mo Dao has gradually rarely participated in these tasks,

But most core researchers still feel a little at a loss when thinking about this possibility.

Qiusuo Research Institute, a cross-era and shining existence in the entire history of science and technology,

It was born in Mo Dao's hands and operated according to Mo Dao's will.

The entire Qiusuo Research Institute is to some extent an extension of Mo Dao's will. Without Mo Dao, what is the meaning of the existence of the Qisusu Research Institute?

"... Chief Master Mo, due to the needs of interstellar navigation, our research team is stepping up research on genetic lifespan, and may be able to break the upper limit of lifespan to a certain extent."

A core researcher engaged in research in the field of life sciences suppressed his emotions and wanted to comfort himself with more rational words.

But the emotion itself showed on his face.

After being confused, a group of core researchers responded to Mo Dao’s straightforward words.

The emotions he showed were basically fear.

Qiusuo Research Institute cannot accept that Mo Dao will leave one day.

"Well, you can continue to do research in this area, but don't worry, it may be useful one day."

After the core researcher spoke, some researchers in related fields began to speak.

I want to use the methods of their respective professional fields to rule out the possibility that Mo Dao will leave one day.

Mo Dao listened for a while, then smiled and responded to these people,

The conference room became quiet,

No one spoke for a while,

Mo Dao looked around for another week,

Just say again,

"...But now, build me a spaceship for long voyages."

"My hope is that in the next few years, this ship will be able to take off."
