Chapter 1682 Epilogue

Earth.

The office of Star Technology Headquarters.

Looking at Lu Xiaoqiao who was handling official business, Yang Fangfang couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"What did he tell you when he left?"

"He entrusted Xingkong Technology to me, and then asked me to transfer the 100 billion credit points in his account to the account of the Frozen Human Rights Protection Foundation."

Yang Fangfang sucked in a breath of cold air, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

"One hundred billion... He just donated all the money?"

"Well," Lu Xiaoqiao nodded lightly, "He said that money is not brought with him in life or in death. Since he can no longer use it, I hope it can be of greater value."

The work of the Frozen Human Rights Protection Foundation is not only to help the frozen dormant people quickly integrate into the current society, but also includes investment in some medical fields and assistance to those who are unable to pay for the frozen dormant.

According to him, his original intention of creating this technology was to give those who deserved to die in this era a second chance at life.

Regardless of poverty or wealth, everyone should have an equal right to live, and this technology should not be the patent of a few.

In fact, the Frozen Human Rights Protection Foundation has been practicing this for more than 100 years.

Otherwise, it would not have been invited to participate in the announcement ceremony of the People's Federation initiative as the world's largest non-profit organization.

"But, it's 100 billion..." Yang Fangfang still felt sorry for her best friend.

After all, this huge sum of money should have been inherited by her.

However, hearing this sentence, Lu Xiaoqiao just smiled and said indifferently.

"Whether it is 100 billion or 1 trillion, it is his property. How he wants to control it is his right. As his descendant, all I can do is to pass on his ideals. ...not as strong as he is, but there is always something I can do."

For example, following his last wish, let Xingkong Technology become an enterprise that is beneficial to society and continue to lead human civilization to a more distant world.

Although unlike him, she is not a great scholar, but as a socially responsible entrepreneur, she believes that there are still many things that she can do.

After finishing the business, Lu Xiaoqiao, who was leaning on the office chair, stretched.

Just as she lazily got up from her office chair and was about to go to the company's cafeteria for lunch, an email from the Council of the Frozen Human Rights Protection Foundation just happened to float into her mailbox.

"S-class encryption project lifted?"

Seeing this strange line of text, Lu Xiaoqiao's eyebrows raised an arc of interest.

Because it involves patents and some sensitive research issues, even as a non-profit organization, the Freezer Rights Protection Foundation still retains some "corporate secrets" that are only open to the public.

For an S-level encryption project like this, only the signature of the chairman of the foundation can approve the top secret of encryption.

Generally, the ban will not be lifted unless the unlocking time or special unlocking conditions are reached.

"The closing time is 2025... Has it been sealed for so long?"

If she remembered correctly, the Frozen Human Rights Protection Foundation was only established in the 2020s, right?

Thinking that this might be a secret left by the first acting chairman, Lu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but feel even more curious.

Without hesitation, she immediately selected the unlocked icon.

However, to her surprise, what appeared in front of him was not some earth-shattering secret, but a special freezing and dormancy agreement.

The reason why it is special is that this agreement does not have a specific end of dormancy time, but uses the beginning of colonization activities outside the solar system as the time to release dormancy.

As for the second, it's because this person's name is the heroine in the documentary called The Great Country Scholar, and the person who made her great-great-grandfather remember...

Looking at the frozen dormancy agreement in his hand, and thinking of the reason why Lu Zhou went to Tiancangwu, Lu Xiaoqiao couldn't help feeling a touch of emotion in his heart.

Across the distance of time, even across life and death. In this unfamiliar era, two people running towards each other on different tracks have a miraculous reunion.

However, perhaps this is also inevitable in a sense.

Taking a deep breath, a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Is this really... a crooked hit?"

Is this the kind of love people had in that era?

always feel so romantic...

She, who had never had any interest in love, suddenly became envious.

...

Years later, when recalling his past life, Leonard couldn't help but think of that person's name.

The fossil stuffed into his pocket completely subverted the archaeological community's understanding of Mars billions of years ago, and when he left, the address he told him revealed the mystery of the Martian civilization to the world. veil……

Gently closing the academic book in his hand, Leonard's index finger gently rubbed the thick leather cover, and his turbid pupils were stained with a hint of memory.

"Fifty years... how time flies."

The index finger rested on the author's name, and the chapped lips opened slightly, chanting words that only he could hear.

"Fifty years... Thanks to your help, I have finally fulfilled my father's last wish, so that Professor Vernal's school will last forever in this world, and as the one who inherits the past, although I have never experienced that The era is magnificent, but there should be a page that belongs to me compared to history..."

At this moment, light footsteps suddenly sounded outside the study, and the door was pushed open not long after.

A face full of youthful vitality came to him.

"dad!"

That's his child.

Like his father's choice, he devoted his youth to academia in his early years, and in his later years, he created his own offspring by means of artificial petri dishes.

Sometimes he often sighs that although technology cannot fundamentally solve all the contradictions of human beings, it can provide them with more choices in their lives.

Seeing the excited young man rushing into his study, Leonard put on a kind smile and said in a relaxed tone.

"What's wrong? What makes you so happy."

"I got an offer from Xingkong Technology! I'm going to report to Tiancangwu's colony next month!"

Leonard nodded with a smile and said softly.

"Remember to pay attention to safety. I heard that the alien creatures that are active there are not as friendly as the animals on Earth."

"Don't we alien zoologists exist to solve this matter?"

Patting his chest proudly, the young man's face showed a smile full of mission.

Seeing that his child was able to have such a realization, a gratified smile appeared on Leonard's face.

Seeing the smile on his father's face, the young man continued to speak in a smug tone.

"You don't blame me for not inheriting your mantle and continuing your archaeological research, right?"

"How come? My theory does not need to be inherited by a specific person. It has left an indelible mark on the world from the moment it was born," Leonard said softly, "I don't I need you to carry something for me, you just need to follow your own interests and choose the life you want... Isn't this what humans live for?"

"I don't want to hear you talk about these big truths," the young man continued with a helpless expression on his face, "Your child is about to leave soon, can't we talk about other pleasant things?"

Leonard: "Like?"

"For example, about Tiancangwu!" The young man's face was immediately filled with excitement, looking at his elderly father and continued, "I always hear people say, have you ever had an intersection with Academician Lu? "

A strange smile appeared on Leonard's face, and it took a while before he smiled and said something meaningful in a soft voice.

"More than just a meeting?"

That respectable Academician Lu, he dug up from the ruins...

"Then tell me about him," sat down on the sofa, and the young man said expectantly, "including how he contributed to the unification of the People's Federation, including Tiancangwu's expedition! Oh my god... ...his life is nothing short of legendary."

"The unification of the People's Federation and the expedition of Tiancangwu?"

Chewing this sentence, a deep memory flashed in Leonard's eyes.

After a long time, he sighed with emotion, and opened his mouth softly in a bard-like tone.

"My dearest man, that's a story from a long, long time ago..."
