The concept of biodomes can be traced back to Europe in 1885, but many scientists at the time did not realize that this concept of domes for cultivating plants would one day become a shelter for humans.

It was not until 2033 that Wu Honglei, a professor of ecological studies in China, published an article on the forward-looking predictions of the future human living environment at a global science forum that the concept of the ecological dome was formally standardized in the form of a research report.

The initial report was 190,000 words long. Professor Wu Honglei started from the multiple ecological environment degradation problems faced by the world. While extending the concept of environmental protection, he boldly proposed whether humans can avoid "environmental protection problems" and accelerate the progress of exploring artificial livability.

Environmental assumptions.

The most critical one mentioned, and the core of the problems that humans and the natural environment will inevitably face in the future, is "passive acceptance and active transformation", and the solution is the ecological dome.

However, this concept quickly encountered resistance from major authoritative environmental protection agencies around the world. Some people believed that Professor Wu Honglei's research was a pure waste of scientific resources, and published refutations of Professor Wu Honglei's ecological dome construction in public forums.

Sexual opinion articles.

Because Wu Honglei was just starting out and weak at that time, he was quickly inundated with saliva from all over the world.

The eco-dome has become nothing more than a joke, let alone attracting investment.

However, no one expected that today, seventy years after the death of Professor Wu Honglei, the dome would become the "Noah's Ark" of human civilization, and those objections would turn into praise and even eulogies.

However, the concept of the dome given by Professor Wu Honglei was still relatively crude. Today, the completion of the Dongsheng No. 1 Dome in the North China Plain has gone through the hard work and efforts of countless people.

So the opposition back then and the praise now are not some kind of irony. After all, the times are developing and social consciousness is advancing. There are always some people who have to stand at the forefront and silently bear the world's incomprehension and even betrayal.

…

At night, Chen Shuang's small room of only 22 square meters was packed with people.

Although the alleys are damp and dark, the house is neatly tidied, and the New Year is coming soon, so the old man even specially made some decorations.

Fan Chenglin and Yuanbei Shangye were playing chess, brothers Ye Yang and Ye Liang were cooking in the kitchen, and Ling Keli was sleeping soundly on Chen Shuang's lap. Tea and coffee were brewing in the room, and there were also things on the table.

Ling Keli brought back amazingly priced fruits and snacks from outside.

These things have only become available in recent years, but because demand exceeds supply, not everyone can afford them.

Chen Shuang was tinkering with a gadget in the drummer. It looked like it should be some kind of precision instrument, but he didn't know what it was used for.

The quiet atmosphere lasted until Ye Liang brought all the food to the table.

Chen Shuang patted Ling Keli's little face and said, "Daughter, wake up, wake up."

Ling Keli, who had not slept peacefully for countless days and nights, not only did not wake up, but stretched like a cat and got into Chen Shuang's arms.

Chen Shuang couldn't laugh or cry and said: "You lazy girl, you just sleep when you get home and don't even talk to your mother-in-law."

Ling Keli hid her pretty face in Chen Shuang's sweater. She greedily sniffed the smell that made her feel extremely at ease and said: "Oh, just let me sleep until I'm full. When I'm full, I'll stay with you."

Let’s chat all day and all night.”

Chen Shuang was happy, and several others were also smiling. Obviously, these people were familiar with this scene.

"Then you don't want to eat? I just got a fresh fish and some ribs from your master today. If you don't get up, you won't have them when you wake up."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Keli had already sat down at the table.

Ye Liang, who was placing the dishes and chopsticks, was startled. He shrank his hands and said, "Captain, please slow down, the soup is very hot."

Ling Keli looked down and saw that there was something good in this bowl.

The floating, round, and black ones seem to be shiitake mushrooms, and there are diced ham and chopped eggs next to the shiitake mushrooms. This soup is obviously made by Ye Liang. Ling Keli is very familiar with these, because they were together in the past.

I was beaten for this bowl of porridge.

"Wow... I really miss it. It's like pearl, emerald and white jade soup. Have we finally survived?" Ling Keli raised her head and asked.

Fan Chenglin, who was sitting opposite Ling Keli, took out the beer in a sealed plastic bag from his bag and said: "Of course, let alone this table of dishes in the past, it would be nice to have a mouthful of seaweed to fill your stomach."

It's really sad to remember the past.

I think back then, it was almost such a big table, but there were far more people sitting in front of the table than now. Chen Shuang was sitting at one end of the table as before, opposite an older child, and on both sides were small children.

It was noisy and crowded.

Now that twenty years have quietly passed, Chen Shuang is filled with pride when he looks at these children in front of him.

She waited until Ye Liang and Ye Yang sat down, then stretched out her hands to grab Ling Keli and Fan Chenglin respectively. Fan Chenglin and Ling Keli also stretched out their other hands to grab the other people in front of the table, and everyone formed a circle.

"Everything is fine when my family is here." Chen Shuang said with a faint smile.

Ling Keli and others all laughed, and then Chen Shuang raised his eyebrows: "Okay, let's start dinner."

…

After finishing the meal, Fan Chenglin, who had taken turns driving snowmobiles with Yuanbei Naoye for several days and nights, had gone to bed first. Although Yuanbei Naoye was also very sleepy, he made sure at the dinner table that he would not do it.

The house's electrical system has been repaired and I won't sleep, so I'm still struggling now. The brothers Ye Liang and Ye Yang were arranged to go out by Ling Keli. Now Chen Shuang and Ling Keli are the only ones left in the house, lying comfortably on chairs.

of.

Chen Shuang took Ling Keli's hand and said, "Daughter, have you met your master and the others during this trip?"

Ling Keli said with a sad face when she heard this: "No..."

Chen Shuang nodded: "Well...it's not easy for your master. I guess he hasn't had a bite of hot rice yet."

Ling Keli stared at Chen Shuang and asked: "Mother-in-law, do you think there will be a good result this time?"

Chen Shuang smiled: "Yes."

With these two simple words, Ling Keli felt at ease, and she leaned closer to Chen Shuang again, getting very close to her.

Chen Shuang took a deep breath, held her in his arms and said: "We have been preparing for today for ten years. If we still fail, then maybe no one will persist in the future... Even your master,

She also told me in private that she was tired and needed a little motivation."

Ling Keli listened silently, and then asked after a long time: "But will they really plead guilty? Will the judges and those in power really try them?"

"Then it depends on how much sincerity we show." Chen Shuang said quietly: "The group of people who secretly leaked the source code of the highest authority certificate of Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New Area are not many left alive now. Your master will deal with it.

A batch has been made, and the rest have been secretly sent over. And the tasks you have performed outside these years have been completed by someone in charge, so you don’t have to worry, just listen to your mother-in-law and do your part.

Don’t think too much about anything else.”

After Ling Keli glanced at Chen Shuang, she asked dullly: "Mother-in-law...can I ask a question?"

"Um?"

"You don't let us know too many details...are you worried that if the operation fails, we will be implicated?" Ling Keli asked.

This sentence caused Chen Shuang to fall into silence for a long time.

Ling Keli raised her head and stared at Chen Shuang, and Chen Shuang slowly replied: "There are considerations in this regard, but more importantly, if a person stares into the abyss for too long, he will eventually be swallowed by the abyss... We have no way back,

But you are different. You hope not to be contaminated by those sins, even if you just look at them..."

This sentence is too familiar to Ling Keli, because Chen Shuang told Ling Keli when she was very young that not all the truth must be seen clearly, because if you look too carefully, you will

was changed unconsciously.

…

midnight.

The seven "artificial suns" powered by special nuclear fusion energy cores on the North China Dongsheng No. 1 dome slowly "extinguish" and they will enter a low-power dormant state for thirty hours.

In this state, the constant temperature system in the North China Dongsheng Dome 1 will also go offline one after another, and the temperature of the entire ecological dome will drop from about 15 degrees Celsius in the "daytime" to around minus 20 degrees Celsius.

This kind of temperature difference between day and night has become accustomed to people living here, and when it gets dark and the temperature drops, it does not mean that daily life stops.

The situation is just the opposite. As this time comes, the frequency of activities inside and outside the dome will increase a lot.

After having a full meal and changing into casual clothes, the brothers Ye Liang and Ye Yang went straight to the management-level area of ​​​​the dome center, where elite personnel and materials from around the world gathered. It can be said that it is the center that is currently driving the wheel of human civilization.

Engine block.

They walked on foot at first, then quietly boarded a mineral transport truck, and after several transfers, they finally arrived at the outer residential area of ​​the central area on the morning of January 28.

Once here, going forward does not just mean dressing up in disguise and sneaking in quietly. They must have a legal and compliant identity to enter and exit safely.

The two people, who were well prepared, put on new clothes and identity cards in a hidden corner, and then passed the inspection area one after another.

After Ye Liang officially set foot in the central area, the central core of Yuanbei Naoye was also activated simultaneously.

They are sharing each other's vision signals.

"Let me take a look... If the data is correct, you should walk straight for a hundred meters from the inspection area, then turn right and pass a breakfast shop, then turn right again and you will see our first customer.

"

After receiving the prompt, Ye Liang walked forward as required.

His steps were steady, but because he was always looking straight ahead, he still looked a little weird.

So before he even reached the corner, Ye Liang was stopped by an armed policeman.

"Sir, can I check your identity code?" This armed policeman looked like a veteran at first glance. The way he looked at Ye Liang was different from the previous security personnel who were responsible for checking identities.

Ye Liang nodded slightly, and when he was about to show him his identity certificate, there was a "car accident" at the intersection ahead.

With a sound of "ouch", a man and a woman fell to the ground, and the moped they were riding also fell to the side of the road.

The armed policeman rushed over immediately upon seeing this.
