Chapter 1118: Future

Yang Qing imagined ocean modules, building ocean cities.

Everyone lives at sea.

Water is obtained through seawater desalination technology, food through ocean aquaculture and three-dimensional farm.

Transportation is by ship and seaplane.

Computing Power Center can use seawater for cooling.

People live in water villas.

Below one can see marine life, above one can see the boundless starry sky.

Cities expand around a rich ocean resource area.

Once resource collection is complete, the whole can move to another place.

These past few years in Antarctica; in a few years we'll go to the Arctic.

Just like the moon, whoever occupies it first gets it.

Once this situation arises, it becomes another resource scramble.

Human productivity determines how much living space humanity can have.

The advent of artificial intelligence and mechanization has formally ushered humanity into the era of space and ocean.

This era is right before us; it just depends on who moves faster.

Those who move fast get the fattest meat.

The rest is fought over by others.

This is an era of great contention.

Not contending could be another century of humiliation.

Yang Qing gave Yang Tianyou this idea; its purpose cannot be as simple as he said.

His fundamental motive is still resource contention.

In an era of great contention, not contending is a betrayal of the nation.

It will be cursed by descendants for a thousand years.

The sea breeze gently blew, stirring Yang Qing's hair.

On the beach, beautiful women, young men, children...

They happily played, enjoying everything before them.

No one knew that the old man not far away was plotting their future for them.

Yang Qing reflected on his life—for himself, for others, for the country, for the people, for his family.

It could also be considered complete.

Chen Hong looked at Yang Qing dissatisfiedly.

Yang Qing grew lazier; aside from looking at beautiful women, he lay about lazily at other times.

This made her think of Yang Rong.

It started from lying around.

Chen Xueru and Qin Huairu also had some complaints about the energetic Chen Hong.

Everyone knows you're capable, but you should also think about us old bones.

We also want to lie flat.

Guan, Hu, Tian...

They carefully accompanied them from the side.

Just fearing they might have an accident.

"Mom, sit for a while, sit for a while."

Saying, the recliner had already been prepared for them.

Chen Xueru kept giving her daughter-in-law meaningful looks.

If you give a look, old lady gives you a thumbs-up.

As soon as they lay down, they let out comfortable moans.

Chen Hong gave them a glance, then also lay down.

Tian Weiwei was as usual, coming to Yang Qing's side to give him a massage, kneading his shoulders.

Yang Qing felt sorry for her.

"All right, you're not young anymore; don't wear yourself out."

"Go see how the kids are doing."

Tian Weiwei obediently sat down.

"Gangsheng and Dongsheng are both doing well now."

"They also said they'd come back to see you."

She cautiously glanced at Yang Qing.

Seeing Yang Qing had no reaction, she then continued.

"Ah Ying finally found a handsome young man; I don't care anymore, let her be happy."

Yang Qing glanced at her and casually said.

"If you want to come back, come back; just don't all come back together."

"There are too many people; this place can't hold them all."

"Speaking of which, Gangsheng's kids aren't small either; are they still in Daxia?"

Tian Weiwei hurriedly answered.

All are in Daxia.

They want their child to find a Daxia partner.

How is the company?

Development is going well; after moving the manufacturing industry over, the companies left elsewhere are lightly equipped and efficient, with efficiency greatly improved.

Now it is also considered vibrant.

That's good.

The two talked in a so-so manner.

The Guan beauty glanced over here a few times, but ultimately did not come over.

The Yang Family's compensation of Yang Tianyou still got people thinking.

But Yang Qing could not give special treatment to others.

Everyone has their own career; don't be greedy.

Tian Weiwei was very clever; after speaking for a while, seeing that Yang Qing had no intention to speak, she gave up.

Yang Qing not speaking means it's impossible.

Further nagging is useless.

She also had no particular emotions.

She understood; this is the normal phenomenon.

Have you seen Yang Qing favor others?

Don't talk about favoritism; not throwing you in jail is already not bad.

Yang Tianyou, that's a special case.

She also thought that compensating a bit was not wrong.

Moreover, it was the family office that agreed to give compensation to the other party.

As for the Hong Kong students, the Yang Family owes them nothing; even now, many of the resources they hold were given by the Yang Family.

For the children born to these foreign women, the Yang Family, relatively speaking, still showed favoritism.

Those who left received compensation; the capable children had ample resources, and the incapable also had food and clothing secured.

On the contrary, the recent Yang Qing's coldness made Tian Weiwei feel ruthless.

The Hong Kong students wanting more is greed.

Tian Weiwei looked up at the sky.

"Dad, I want to go to space to have a look."

Yang Qing furrowed his brows.

"How could you have such an idea? You're too old, it's too dangerous."

"Be good, we won't go."

Tian Weiwei still insisted on her own idea.

"Dad, if we don't go now, we might really have no chance later."

"I want to go and have a look."

Heard the firmness in Tian Weiwei's tone.

Although Yang Qing was worried, he ultimately nodded.

"Go to the hospital for a thorough check-up and let Heavenly Vessel issue a report."

"If they support you going, you go; if they don't support you, no matter what you say, I won't agree."

"There's still plenty of time; who knows, the requirements for spaceflight may become lower in the future."

"By then, we'll go again."

"If you're bored here, you can act, travel, anything goes."

As for concern, hearing it made Tian Weiwei feel warm inside.

This is someone she has cared for over ten years; she still feels heartache for them.

"Dad, what will the future be like? Will it be like what's shown in movies?"

"Probably; the ancients thought those who could fly in the sky were immortals."

"Now we can already fly in the sky, but we are still human and have not become the immortals they imagined."

"In the future, our technology may become more advanced and omnipotent, but humans will still be humans and cannot escape their origins."

Tian Weiwei thought of the movie.

"Then, with gene technology, will we, like in the movie, see superhumans and mutants?"

Yang Qing shook his head.

"Superpowers? Like a squirting ink squid or a farting weasel?"

"These don't mean much for humans."

"For humans, wisdom is the greatest superpower."

"Those superhumans have already transcended the human realm."

"The human body's energy structure determines its capacity range."

"A person capable of unleashing heaven‑destroying, earth‑shattering energy could not still be a mere mortal flesh."

"According to current biotechnology, there is no more theory to support a flesh‑and‑body being able to burst forth with abnormal abilities."

"At most, it can let a person have abilities like a hedgehog's spines, a squid's ink spray, or an electric eel's discharge."

"And since humans can use these abilities better through equipment, why bother to have them ourselves?"

"What's the use?"
