Why it never ends

"It is foolish to classify the other half of the world's population as enemies." Rob whispered, "A person as wise as Rob Griller will be deceived by ideas and embark on a path that is destined to have no end... ...I certainly can't follow in that footsteps."

"So... your 'Eden' is not a forced compromise," Hesta frowned, "That's already your dreamland, isn't it?"

"Of course!" Rob said in a deep voice, "This is a more elegant and powerful method. You can completely dispel women's concept of themselves quietly. Even if the freedom of reproduction is always in their hands, we can still Completely disassociated from the feminist society, the price is only that every generation of men need to spend some energy to tame their wives - don't try to do it once and for all! The struggle is eternal, anyone, any force, once they fall into the trap fate, they are not far from failure!"

Hesta's expression was a bit complicated, "...Are you too pessimistic?"

"You're young, you don't understand, this is real optimism," Rob whispered, "Young people lack experience, and they always don't realize that some things are not destined until they are lost-but I Still willing to tell you this, do you know why?"

"……why."

"We need some real mercury needles, we need them so badly," Rob took a deep breath, "We've been looking for them all these years, but we still haven't found the right one..."

Hesta was silent for a moment.

"That's good," she looked at Rob. "There are few mercury needles in this world that are more real than mine. What do you want to know? Everything I know, if you ask, I will tell you everything."

"Really?"

"Let's ask the question directly," Hesta smiled, "I will let you feel my sincerity."

……

"It might be a little offensive, but can I ask what your sexuality is?"

"Me?" The young man turned his head and smiled, "I haven't been in a relationship for a long time..."

Su Lei looked at him, "This answer is a little evasive, do you like women?"

"Haha... This is a chronic disease of evolution," the young man said softly, "but I will recover, and I am already in the new order."

"Have none of you questioned this order?" Su Lei said softly, "For example, does it control too much?"

The man immediately smiled and shook his head, "How should I tell you, the meaning of order lies in this--the superior can get a pure new world, the inferior can live a happy life, everyone gets what they need, Everyone is perfectly happy, the difference...is only one thing."

"Well, what's the difference."

"People's choice. Do you choose to be the superior or the inferior?" The young man paused for a moment, his voice suddenly lowered, as if with some kind of deep meaning, "Or you can ask this: Life is short, do you want to live a normal life, or a great life?"

Si Lei was stunned for a moment.

The young man stopped in front of a door. He faced Su Lei with lowered eyes, "This is Mr. Roborgrillet's lounge. I can only take you here. If there is nothing else, I will Back off first?"

"...Okay, thanks for your hard work."

The young man smiled again, instead of going back the same way, he turned and left from the other end of the corridor.

After watching the man disappear, Li Ke looked at Si Lei, "...the people here are all talking, do you feel it?"

"Very fanatical." Su Lei said in a low voice, "but the conversation is calm."

"Isn't this even more terrifying? It means that they have completely entered the given context, and they can't get into anything else in their minds at all."

Si Lei didn't answer. She recalled the man's words just now, and she couldn't help feeling a little doubtful in her heart. Could these fanatical beliefs also be a chronic disease of evolution?

"Are you ready?" Su Lei looked at Li Ke, "I'm going to knock on the door."

"You knock."

Su Lei took a deep breath and concentrated his energy. Just as he raised his hand, there was a sound of a latch being snapped behind the door.

The two glanced at each other, Li Ge gestured "Stop" to Si Lei, and pressed the doorknob by himself and twisted it lightly.

The door opened.

Li Ke entered first, and inside was a brightly lit study room.A huge abstract painting caught the eyes of the two of them. It was a large round leaf that had been stripped of its mesophyll. Its extended veins were both leaf veins and blood vessels of some kind of animal——

"Isn't this the painting in the underwater exhibition hall?" Su Lei recognized the work in front of him at a glance, "That 'From the Deep Forest' exhibition!"

Li Ke didn't understand, "What forest?"

"Before boarding the ship, several of us—me, Jane, and Turan, we went to an exhibition together. We went to that exhibition because Jane and I knew the curator of the exhibition. When we were in the district, we had contact with her... This is one of the paintings, and I remember it very clearly."

There was no one in the study, and Li Ke and Su Lei checked the small bedrooms and bathrooms on both sides separately, but they didn't see anyone.

There were some documents piled up on the desktop, and Su Lei stepped forward to look through them, and couldn't help but hold his breath—they were copies of several project bidding documents, including the construction plan for establishing a wireless relay station on Ceres, and the Olympus Shield on Mars. The plan for the further energy development of the shaped volcano, as well as various ideas on how to further reduce the loss of information while realizing short-term ultra-long-distance travel through the cooperation of consciousness transmission and prosthetic body technology.

Su Lei read in a daze.

That distant golden age has never been more concrete than this moment, and the still words on the page show a once-thriving civilization.

"What's the matter, your face has changed." Li Ke stood beside Si Lei, "What's written on it?"

"Some...technical solutions." Su Lei said in a low voice, "It still looks... pretty real."

Li Ke looked at the document in Su Lei's hand: "Ha, I know this."

"what?"

"Ultra-long-distance travel can be achieved through consciousness transmission and prosthetic body technology," Li Ke leaned over the table, "that is to convert people's consciousness into electronic signals, so that people don't have to be restricted by the physical body when traveling around the world. Different destinations prepare prosthetics to receive signals, and travel in different places can be easily realized-from the earth to Mars, the 20-day journey can be shortened to [-] minutes in one go."

"...Is this information only available to mercury needles?"

"No, I don't know," Li Ke said in a low voice. "I used to have a friend who was obsessed with the golden age. She told me that...it's quite amazing, isn't it?"
