Chapter 122: Awakening
"Thanos, are you awake?"
Thanos's ears sounded softly. He opened his eyes and found himself wearing a loose nightgown, sleeping on a large white bed, and there was a familiar Titan woman lying beside him.
who is she?
Thanos Chaos's brain was a little stuck, and soon, memories began to float up, and those vague memory fragments flashed in front of his eyes one by one.
She is her own wife, a childhood sweetheart who grew up together.
Although the two did not give birth to their own children, they adopted two alien little luoli who were displaced due to the war.
Just as I was thinking, the bedroom door was slapped by "dongdongdongdongdong", and a crisp and tender laughter sounded outside the door.
His wife smiled at Thanos and yelled softly outside the door: "Who?"
A slight tender laughter sounded outside the door. His wife tidied up her nightgown, walked out the door gently, and suddenly opened the door, and hugged the two little luolis, one blue and one green, hiding beside the door.
"Nebula, Kamora..."
Thanos muttered to himself the two names. He watched his wife throw his daughters on the bed, tickling each other, laughing, and his expression on his face was a little confused.
A beautiful and gentle wife, a lovely and innocent daughter, this is the harmonious and happy family he has.
The wife who was teasing the child seemed to notice something. She smiled and stopped fighting with her daughters, patted their butts and asked them to wash their faces and brush their teeth.
When the daughter walked into the bathroom and heard a noise like "Xingyun, you secretly used my toothbrush again!", the wife turned around and gently stroked Thanos' ugly and deformed purple face with some concern.
"I'm fine."
Thanos grabbed his wife's hand and comforted gently: "It's just a nightmare last night."
"What nightmare?"
"...I can't remember it well," Thanos touched his chin and said uncertainly: "I should be floating in space, like a transcendent, without wearing protective clothing,
Then I condensed a rainbow into a beam of light and shot it at someone, and I can't remember what happened next..."
"How is that..." his wife Zhan Yan smiled and kissed his forehead, "Dear, it's just a dream. You must be under too much pressure recently.
By the way, don’t you have something important to be busy today? Don’t be late.”
"Yeah." Thanos smiled, and the broken memories in the dream gradually blurred. "But it would be great if I could really be a superman who can control special powers like in the dream."
There are only one genius with supernatural abilities on the entire Titan planet. When Thanos was young, he thought that one day he would awaken some traits and talents.
For example, controlling the magnetic field, changing the temperature, distorting the laws of physics, stopping time, and transmitting space. If it is not good, the ability to fly freely with both wings on the back is also good.
However, the stingy little bitch of fate did not give Thanos too much preference. The ugly appearance produced by genetic mutations is not a special sign of "the heaven will give great responsibility to this person."
He is just an ordinary person, a physical body, and he does not face passionate superpower struggles every day, but boring and mediocre work day after day...
This is normal. There are always a few geniuses with special destiny in this world.
More people will bury those crazy dreams of youth when they grow up until the years pass and no one knows them again.
Thanos got up and washed up. After enjoying a warm family breakfast, he drove Nebula and Gamola to a school not far from home in a suit.
The word "driving" is very interesting. When others use autonomous driving, Thanos still stubbornly chooses to drive manually. In his words, it is "more reassuring for me."
Anti-gravity suspension vehicles are driving on the suspended plank road. The scenery along the way is not very charming. There are tall buildings everywhere, like bird cages made of steel, densely imprisoning the birds in the cages.
Although the Titan government has made a lot of efforts, while ensuring the living space, it requires increasing the greening area.
However, there are policies above and countermeasures below. The executive bureaucrats "skillfully" lay a layer of vines on the outside of the walls of high-rise buildings, and used the green vines hanging like waterfalls as green areas to cross the green area.
Everyone knows that "expanding greening" is an absurd word on Titan. The ever-expanding population accumulates like straws on the back of the aging camel on Titan.
Every inch of space has its value, and every inch of land should not be wasted. Only by saving and continuous saving can the development of Titan Star civilization be continued.
Thinking of this, Thanos parked his car into the indoor parking lot of a tall building.
Titan had eliminated the concept of "rural" very early, long ago, and everyone lived in the nest city.
The basic units of all public facilities in the city are inside the high-rise buildings - hospitals, schools, police stations, even automation farms, automation factories... These facilities are all stuffed into different floors of the high-rise buildings.
The tall buildings in an area are combined together to form an administrative region.
And an administrative area, combined together, forms a nest city.
All nest cities add up to form the Titan Star.
The infrastructure in the nest city is complete, and most Titans don’t even need to step out of the city in their lifetime.
Apart from being overcrowded, the city has almost no shortcomings. Even if there are some incomplete areas, it will be complemented by the continuous development of technology.
The problem of turbidity and heat in the air was solved by a complete urban ventilation system a hundred years ago;
The scarcity of drinking water was solved by a comprehensive water circulation system thirty years ago;
The lack of sunlight was solved by artificial sunlight generators a hundred and fifty years ago. Today's Titan residents, regardless of whether the floors they live in, can be directly shined by sufficient warm sunlight.
After sending his daughter, he drove the anti-gravity suspension vehicle out of the building, passed the high-speed passage, and drove to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Titan Star National Aeronautics and Space Administration is a huge and sophisticated giant organization composed of hundreds of small organizations.
It can be roughly divided into the Aerospace Flight Department, the Technology Department, the Planetary Science Department, the Space Science Department, the Biology and Physics Research Department, and the Safety and Planning and Assistance Department. Each department is in charge of different major business areas.
Such a huge organization naturally cannot be stuffed into the same tall building. In fact, the land area occupied by the Titan Star National Aeronautics and Space Administration is almost equivalent to the total area of several nest cities!
This is almost unimaginable on Titan, where every inch of land is valuable. In recent years, countless criticisms have also appeared, requiring the State Administration of Aeronautics and Space to save land resources and cede part of its living space for the public to use.
The Space Administration has been under tremendous public pressure, especially at a time when the aerospace industry has suffered repeated setbacks, every employee in the bureau is worried, fearing that the department they belong to will be cut off because they cannot achieve results.
"Good morning, Mr. Thanos."
"Hello."
In the corridor of the headquarters building of the Space Administration, passers-by nodded and greeted Thanos, with a real and enthusiastic attitude.
The staff did this not only because Thanos was in a high position, but also because of the chief engineer of the Titan Star Aeronautics and Space Administration, but also because of Thanos' contribution to the aviation industry.
The Titan civilization tried to colonize the outside world very early, but the suitable planet closest to them was so far away on the starry sky map.
Excessive costs, slow technology, public opinion pressure, and the lack of support from the upper class have led to the interstellar colonization plan being delayed again and again.
To this day, the population pressure on Titan is like an explosive barrel filled with gunpowder, which may explode at any time, and many interstellar colonial plans that have stagnated seem to have no way out.
Titan leaders believe that instead of pinning their hopes on interstellar colonization, it is better to 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 the Titan planet are exhausted, then continue to dig under the rock formation and rely on the continuous 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 colonial opportunities?
If Thanos, as the chief engineer, had been insisting on persevering and persuaded his superiors to continue to support the research and development of super-light engines, the interstellar colonization plan would have been thrown into the cold palace long ago...
Thinking of this, Thanos couldn't help but hold his briefcase tightly, and in his bag, he contained a crucial document.
And his task today is to show this document to his superiors.
Thanos stopped, stood in front of the conference room door, took a deep breath, knocked in and entered.
Inside the door, members of the Titan Star Aerospace Administration Project Management Committee were already here and sat behind a long oval table.
Deputy Chief Executive, General Counsel, Chief Security and Mission Assurance Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Information Officer, Chief Medical Health Officer...
These big names in suits and ties are the brains in charge of the aerospace industry.
"Thanos." Li Ang, who was sitting on the oval long table, or the chief executive of Titan National Space Administration, smiled and said to Thanos: "Sit down quickly, we'll wait to listen to your report."
