Marvel–Immortal Path - Chapter 526
“SANOS, are you awake?”
Mieba’s ear whispered softly. He opened his eyes and found himself sleeping in a white bed in a loose robe. Beside him was a familiar Titan woman.
Who is she?
Mieba’s chaotic brain got a little stuck. Soon, memories began to float up, and those fuzzy memory fragments flashed in front of him in turn.
She is her own wife, a childhood sweetheart who grew up together,
Although they did not give birth to their own children, they adopted two alien little Loris who were displaced by the war.
Just thinking, the door of the bedroom was knocked by “Dong Dong Dong”, and a burst of crisp and tender laughter sounded outside the door.
The wife smiled at mieba and shouted softly outside the door, “who?”
There was a slight childish laughter from the chicken thief outside the door. The wife sorted out her nightgown, walked softly to the door, suddenly opened the door, and held two little loris, blue and green, hiding by the door.
“Nebula, KAMORA…”
Mieba muttered these two names to himself. He watched his wife throw his daughters into bed, tickle each other and laugh with them. His face was a little confused.
Beautiful and gentle wife, lovely and naive daughter, this is the harmonious and happy family he has.
The wife who was teasing the children seemed to notice something. She smiled and stopped fighting with her daughters, patted their hips and asked them to wash their faces and brush their teeth,
When the daughter walked into the bathroom and there was a noise like “nebula, you stole my toothbrush again!”, the wife turned around and stroked mieba’s ugly and deformed purple face with some worry.
“I’m fine.”
Mieba took his wife’s hand and gently comforted: “I just had a nightmare last night.”
“What nightmare?”
“… I can’t remember clearly,” mieba touched his chin and said uncertainly, “I should be floating in space without protective clothing like an extraordinary person,
Then I condensed a rainbow into a beam of light and shot it at someone. I can’t remember the next… ”
“So…” his wife smiled and kissed his forehead. “Honey, it’s just a dream. You must have been under too much pressure recently.
By the way, don’t you have something important to do today? Don’t be late. ”
“Well.” mieba smiled, and the broken memories in the dream gradually blurred. “However, if only I could be an extraordinary person who can control special forces like in the dream.”
On the whole Titan planet, there is no genius with supernatural ability. When mieba was young, he thought that one day he would awaken a certain trait and talent.
For example, the ability to control the magnetic field, change the temperature, distort the laws of physics, stop time, transmit space, and if it’s bad, the ability to fly freely with back wings is also good.
However, fate, a stingy little bitch, did not give mieba too much preference. The ugly appearance caused by gene mutation is not a special sign of “heaven will take great responsibility for people”.
He is just an ordinary person, physical and fetal. What he faces every day is not a passionate super power struggle, but a boring and mediocre work day after day
This is also normal. There are always a few geniuses with special destiny in this world,
More people will bury their childhood fantasies in adulthood until the years pass and no one knows them anymore.
Mieba gets up and washes. After enjoying a warm family breakfast, he drives Xingyun and KAMORA to the school not far from home.
The word “driving” is very interesting. When others use automatic driving, mieba still stubbornly chooses manual driving. In his words, it is “more reassuring to me.”
Anti gravity levitation vehicles are driving on the suspended plank road. The scenery along the way is not so charming. There are high-rise buildings everywhere, like cages made of steel, densely holding caged birds.
Although the Titan government has made many efforts to ensure the living space, it requires to increase the green area,
However, there are policies at the top and Countermeasures at the bottom. The executive bureaucrats “cleverly” paved a layer of vines on the outside of the walls of high-rise buildings and took the green vines hanging down like waterfalls as green areas.
Everyone knows that “expanding greening” is an absurd word on Titan. The expanding population accumulates on the aging camel’s back like straw.
Every inch of space has its use value, and every inch of land should not be wasted. Only saving and continuous saving can continue the development of Titan civilization.
Thinking like this, mieba parked his car in the indoor parking lot of a high-rise building.
Titan eliminated the concept of “countryside” long ago. Everyone lives in the nest city,
The basic units of all public facilities in the city are inside high-rise buildings – hospitals, schools, police stations, even automatic farms and automatic chemical plants… These facilities are crammed into different floors of high-rise buildings.
The high-rise buildings in an area are combined to form an administrative region,
One administrative district, combined together, forms a nest city,
All the nest cities together form Titan.
The nest city has all kinds of infrastructure. Most Titans don’t even need to step out of the city in their life,
In addition to overcrowding, the nest city has almost no shortcomings. Even if there are some imperfections, they are complemented by the continuous development of science and technology.
The problem of cloudy and muggy air was solved by a perfect urban ventilation system a hundred years ago;
The scarcity of drinking water was solved by a comprehensive water circulation system 30 years ago;
The lack of sunlight was also solved by artificial sunlight generators 150 years ago – today’s Titan residents, whether they live on high or low floors, can be directly illuminated by sufficient and warm sunlight.
After seeing off his daughter, he drove the anti gravity levitation vehicle out of the building and through the expressway to NASA.
Titan National Aeronautics and space administration is a huge and precise giant organization, which is composed of hundreds of small organizations,
It can be roughly divided into Aerospace Department, technology department, planetary science department, space science department, biological and physical research department and safety and planning support department. Each department is in charge of different main business areas,
Such a huge organization can not be stuffed into the same tall building. In fact, the land area occupied by Titan National Aeronautics and space administration is almost equal to the total area of several nest cities!
This is almost unimaginable on Titan. In recent years, countless criticisms have emerged, demanding that NASA economize on land resources and cede part of its living space for people to use.
The space agency has been under great pressure from public opinion, especially at a time when the space industry has suffered repeated setbacks, every employee in the agency is worried that his department will be cut off because he can’t get results.
“Good morning, Mr. SANOS.”
“Hello.”
In the corridor of NASA’s headquarters building, passing staff nodded hello to mieba, with a real and enthusiastic attitude.
The staff did so not only because mieba was in a high position and the chief engineer of Titan aerospace agency, but also because of mieba’s contribution to the aviation industry.
The Titan civilization tried to colonize the outside world long ago, but the nearest suitable planet is also far away on the star map,
The high cost, slow technology, the pressure of public opinion and the lack of support from the upper level have delayed the interstellar colonization plan again and again,
Today, the population pressure of Titan is like an explosive barrel full of gunpowder, which may erupt at any time. However, many interstellar colonization plans have stalled, but there seems to be no way out.
Titan’s leaders believed that instead of pinning their hopes on interstellar colonization, they might as well build a space station on the surface of the planet and transfer part of the population to the space station first.
If the material resources on the surface of Titan are exhausted, continue to dig below the rock stratum and rely on a steady stream of material resources to meet people’s living needs. What’s the need to go to suitable planets thousands of miles away to find colonization opportunities?
If mieba, as the chief engineer, hadn’t insisted on persuading his superiors to continue to support the research and development of superluminal engine, I’m afraid the interstellar colonization plan would have been put in the cold for a long time
Thinking like this, mieba couldn’t help holding the palm of his briefcase. In his briefcase, there was a vital document,
His task today is to show this document to his superiors.
Mieba stopped. He stood in front of the meeting room, took a deep breath, knocked on the door and entered.
Inside the door, members of the Titan space agency’s project management committee have arrived and sat behind the oval table.
Deputy chief executive, general counsel, chief security and Mission Assurance Officer, chief financial officer, chief information officer, chief medical and Health Officer
These big men in suits are the leaders in charge of aerospace.
“SANOS.” Leon, the chief executive of Titan’s national space agency, who was sitting at the oval table, smiled and said to mieba, “sit down quickly. We’ll wait for your report.”
