Chapter 378 Space Journey
Ryan was taken aback by the sudden change.

The sudden emptiness under her feet made her instantly feel like she was falling weightlessly, and she almost subconsciously grabbed Meng Donglai's arm next to her.

After a few seconds of slowing down, I felt that my feet were still on the ground before I realized that the floor under my feet turned out to be a huge monitor.

"You were frightened."

Meng Donglai teased.

"Impossible, I just didn't realize it." Ryan used to be a strongman with a gun and shot zombies, so he naturally wouldn't admit that he was frightened: "Tell me, what's going on?"

After 20 years of marriage, he suddenly discovered that his partner was hiding so many secrets. The way Ryan looked at Meng Donglai was like looking at an alien hidden among humans.

The two said that the aliens might be joking, but now Ryan is taking it seriously.

"Essentially speaking, I am indeed an alien, and Alice knows this." Meng Dong replied back and forth.

"Ah!? Alice knows? You kept it from me for 20 years?!"

Is there a problem with this focus?
Meng Donglai was almost interrupted from speaking.

"Listen to me."

Next, Meng Donglai explained his background to Ryan in detail, and by the way explained why Alice knew about it earlier than her.

Ryan understood that he needed to inform Alice because of his research, but he was dissatisfied that Meng Donglai had kept the secret from her for 20 years.

The same bed for 20 years, tight-lipped.

Daily travel, doing so many things, did not let Ryan find any clues.

She thought Meng Donglai was just a smart scientist and businessman, but she didn't expect that she had been exposed to mystery for 20 years without knowing it. He was too "insidious".

"So, you will go back one day?"

"Yes, but for you, I never left."

Meng Donglai had already explained to her the stagnation of time, and explained that it was only a split second when he left and returned.

"That is to say, maybe one day we were having breakfast together and having a good chat, and then in the next moment, you have traveled to other worlds for hundreds of years, and after you came back, you looked at me as a 'monkey' and continued to chat awkwardly?"

Needless to say, the metaphor of Ryan is quite vivid.

"How come, I will definitely choose a quiet time to return." Meng Donglai shook his head.

"Is that the point?"

"of course."

"That's not the point."

"Then what do you mean is the key point?" Meng Donglai didn't expect this woman's thinking to be so clear. Shouldn't she be focusing on the advanced spacecraft in front of her now?Why are you always entangled in yourself.

I have never told my partner about this before, and this is the first time I have experienced this problem.

"The point is that you can abandon me for hundreds of years at any time, but I don't know anything about it." Ryan replied.

"." Meng Donglai was speechless.

"Look, you're silent now. Have you been fooled by me?"

"Huh? Did you leave and come back?"

"You see my eyes have changed, it must be so."

"Did you find many women in other worlds?"

Ryan talked to himself like a cannonball.

"Don't be like this, you feel like you are going to have a schizophrenia." Meng Donglai looked helpless.

"Hahahahaha! Did it scare you?" Ryan laughed: "You suddenly scared me just now."

Meng Donglai laughed along.

With his psychological attainments, he could see that she was teasing him from the very beginning.

"Scared me to death. I thought you couldn't stand the stimulation and went crazy."

"You're crazy." Ryan opened his mouth and bit Meng Donglai's shoulder.

Then the two hugged each other, and the spacecraft took off, flying directly into the night sky, 1000 meters, [-] meters, [-] meters, non-stop all the way, until it flew into low-Earth orbit.

The feeling of weightlessness came slowly, and Ryan found that he could float.

"Alien technology is so amazing, we just ran into space wearing casual clothes."

One hand held Meng Donglai's hand as a fulcrum, and his whole body was constantly changing positions in the air. Ryan had a great time playing.

"It's nothing. If you want to live in space, you can. I'll build you a home here." Meng Dong said back and forth.

"Thank you, husband." Ryan borrowed strength from Meng Donglai's arm, and leaned close to him again, wrapping his arms around his waist.

"I don't want a home in space, I just want your home."

"Of course, I will always be with you." Meng Donglai kissed her.

"But, I can't stay with you all the time." Ryan still smiled when he spoke, but Meng Donglai could see the sadness in her eyes.

"Didn't I just say that? I can't take people away."

Strictly speaking, Meng Donglai could take people away.

He only needs to take the person into the Sumeru space, and after returning to the main world, he can buy it from the Recommendation Mall.

For example, the Ryan in front of him will become a commodity ****: Homo sapiens, Indo-European mixed race, it makes no sense that when you buy this product for the first time, you can buy Ryan, and when you buy it for the second and subsequent purchases, you can buy it. into other random people.

This can be regarded as a kind of care of the mall. The previous Ava was like this. The mall marked it as product 1400: perfect intelligent robot, but when Meng Donglai bought it for the first time, what he got was taken into the virtual space. Ava.

It sounds like there is no problem, but there is something about it that makes Meng Donglai still have some concerns.

He still hasn't figured out the operating rules of this mall system.

He was not sure whether the person he bought from the system mall was the original one, or was he someone who was "dissected," "decomposed," and "analyzed" by the mall and then reassembled?

For those technological equipment, human clones, and robots, Meng Donglai can ignore them. Anyway, they are essentially "tools". It doesn't matter whether they are original or reassembled, as long as they are easy to use.

But for his lover in the mission world, Meng Donglai really couldn't accept it if his soul that he had invested in his feelings was reorganized.

"I don't mean to blame you." Ryan smiled and shook her head, her eyes becoming watery. In the weightless environment of space, tears could not flow out by themselves, and her vision slowly blurred.

Blinking, the tears were squeezed out and condensed into small water droplets floating in the air.

Meng Donglai reached out to hold the two tears in his hand, feeling the moisture in his palm, the softest part of his heart seemed to be pinched.

This strong woman is really heartbreaking.

"I will find a way to take you away as soon as possible." Meng Donglai promised.

"I believe you."

"Thank you."

"But I have a request." Ryan said.

"You said."

"If you plan to leave, you must tell me. Don't let me know anything anymore." Ryan said.

"Okay, I will tell you."

After making the agreement, Ryan finally calmed down and was interested in watching the stars and the earth in space.

The unique perspective is completely unimaginable by people on earth.

Even though I have seen it in photos and movies, the shock of personal experience far exceeds indirect viewing.

Especially when facing the deep space, the endless emptiness will make people feel hopelessly small.

This experience really makes people appreciate life.

"It's a pity that Xiao didn't follow." Mother's love reminded her of her son.

"It's okay, I'll bring him up when the time is right."

"Isn't it expensive to come up once?" Ryan asked.

The cost of launching a rocket on the planet is more than eight figures. Ryan thought that Meng Donglai would definitely spend more money to launch such a huge spacecraft into space.

"No, the technology is different. The cost of flying this spaceship into space is similar to that of an intercontinental plane on Earth." Meng Dong said back and forth.

"That is not bad."

Unknowingly, more than three hours have passed and it will be dawn soon.

"Let's go back."

"it is good."

Landing is no better than ascending, and the people in the cabin will be forced upwards.

In order not to be stuck to the ceiling, Meng Donglai pulled Ryan to sit on the seat and fastened her seat belt.

The spacecraft began to land, and the strong feeling of weightlessness came again, even stronger than when it ascended before.

It feels like someone has ripped out the heart and tied it to the chest with a long rope. The soul is also attached to the out-of-body heart, with the body flying in front and the soul chasing behind.

Ryan tried not to scream, his clenched teeth made his face look ferocious.

Fortunately, the entire landing process was very fast. In less than 10 minutes, the spacecraft landed on the sea where it took off before.

"arrive."

Meng Donglai helped Ryan unbuckle her seat belt and helped her stand up.

The two returned to the upper deck along the same route, and took the shuttle back to the land again.

"call!"

With his feet on the ground, Ryan let out a long breath.

"Stimulate."

"Exciting, everything I experienced today is more exciting than my previous 40 years of life." Ryan turned around and opened his mouth to the sea and shouted: "Ah!!!"

"what!!!!"

After shouting several times in a row, he finally vented his suppressed and excited emotions.

"Okay, Mr. Alien, let's go home."

"Okay, Ms. Alien."

For Meng Donglai, Ryan is also an alien.

"Ha ha ha ha."

. . . . . .
The Eagle Country government found that the network had somehow recovered.

The provider of the service is the Fifth Century Communications Company, which was previously ranked sixth among the domestic communications companies. This company can be said to be unknown before. The services provided are mainly for the group companies above it, and there is very little business for the public.

Politicians suspected there was some conspiracy.

It is even certain that there must be some conspiracy in it.

But they have no choice.

If Fifth Generation was prohibited from providing communication services, their prohibition order would not even be advertised.

Very funny, very passive.

Next, the entire Fifth Epoch company gradually surfaced due to the Fifth Epoch Communications Company.

I didn't notice it before, but now I sort out the companies that Fifth Century Communications provides services, and I immediately find that these companies have one thing in common.

Either it was newly established in the past 20 years, or it has changed owners in the past 20 years.

These companies are collectively referred to as the Fifth Generation by politicians, although their names are various, their equity relationships are messy, and some even say they have nothing to do with each other.

But politicians firmly believe that there must be a force behind these companies that can concentrate their energy.

They guessed right, basically close to the truth.

But it didn't work.

After the satellite rain incident, Meng Donglai did not relax his suppression of Eagle Country at all.

If you want to launch a satellite, shoot it down.

If you want to launch a missile, send it back.

Send the carrier fleet out, take the prisoners.

Send an army out and take prisoners.

Except for civilian trade, all military and power expansion actions are not allowed.

Since then, the entire Eagle Kingdom has been like a tiger whose claws were cut off, turning into a sick cat in the bed.

Without the protection of hegemony, various industries in the Eagle Kingdom began to decline, and the status of the Eagle Dollar in international trade declined rapidly and was replaced by other currencies.

The domestic unemployment rate has risen rapidly, the gap between the rich and the poor has become prominent, and racial conflicts have erupted.

The previous social unrest caused by the satellite rain incident not only did not subside due to the restoration of communication, but actually eased for a period of time and then intensified again, and became more and more intense.

Without relying on hegemony to draw benefits from the world, the country's suppressed contradictions are exposed at the same time.

Social security is bad.

In Meng Donglai's community, wealthy people banded together and hired more than 100 capable security guards at their own expense to protect the safety of the community. The police could no longer take care of them.

Meng Donglai silently recorded these changes behind his back. This kind of experience is rare and will serve as a good experience reference for his future decision-making and power governance.

Through observation, he found that if this kind of thing happened in the eastern country, it would definitely not be in such a mess.

From this experience of disastrous to the country, he discovered that order is very important.

No matter in the industry, in the society, or in the governance of the country, order always comes first.

Without order, there is no right.

Rights arise from order and depend heavily on order.

Just like now, the technology mastered by the Eagle Country has not actually degenerated. Although the communication industry is monopolized by the Fifth Century, the services provided by the Fifth Century are no worse than those of the dozens of communication service providers before.

On the contrary, because the fifth era has intelligent systems and omnics as the backbone, both in terms of service quality and processing speed are much faster than before.

For ordinary people, the cost of communication is reduced, but the quality of service is improved.

For enterprises and governments, their experience is not bad. Except that they cannot be monitored arbitrarily, nothing has changed.

Even if Meng Donglai cut off the way for hegemony to obtain benefits, with the level of science and technology of Eagle Nation, it is completely possible for more than 3 million citizens to continue to live a good life that is not much worse than before.

Don't you see, in the previous world order, so many countries that couldn't even have their own military, still made their economies boom.

It is a pity that Eagle Kingdom has too many conflicts buried in the past.

In the past, because of the army and capital, we could barely maintain it.

Now that these two advantages are gone, the situation has completely changed.

Be prepared for danger!

Be prepared for danger!

Be prepared for danger!

Meng Donglai kept this word firmly in his heart.

When building power in the future, it is necessary to simulate whether it can maintain its upward vitality under the circumstances of experiencing great blows and destruction.
