Chapter 1327: Going on a Trip

~7 min read 1,215 words

Tian Weiwei, in the role of a daughter-in-law, cared for Yang Qing for several decades.

There was no passionate fervor, nor any lingering aftertaste.

There was only plainness and blandness.

She cared for Yang Qing as she would her own father, and Yang Qing treated Tian Weiwei as he would a daughter-in-law.

The days were so ordinary and tedious.

But it was precisely this selfless companionship that bred a deep-seated soul resonance.

Some call it love at first sight.

Others call it soul resonance, unrelated to gender.

Yang Fan is also over a hundred years old; in fact, he has let go of many things.

He also enters the virtual world to experience different lives, and he also marries and lives with others there.

Tian Weiwei's situation is quite commonplace in this era.

But the awkward part is that Tian Weiwei and his father have gone through three lifetimes together.

It is, after the sealing of memories, the most genuine inner experience.

This makes one feel very uneasy.

Although society has developed to this point, many moral concepts have undergone earth-shaking changes.

But in Yang Fan's heart, he still cannot accept it.

Even though he has many women, he has no right whatsoever to demand so-called loyalty from Tian Weiwei and the like.

Yang Fan and Tian Weiwei both know that their relationship has reached its end.

Yet both tacitly maintained the status quo.

They merely made a mental division.

Tian Weiwei then left Lanxing again under the pretense of travel.

Upon landing on the moon again, Guanghan Cheng had become a large city accommodating over five million people.

Elsewhere on the moon, countless small cities are scattered densely.

Between cities, magnetic levitation is used.

A solitary journey is a redemption for a lonely soul.

Yes, she is lonely.

In the Yang family, she is a concubine; in Daxia, she is an outsider.

On Lanxing, she wanders between a comfortable modest life and Daxia, striving for integration.

If one speaks of true nonchalance, it was during those years on the moon.

Actually, when Yang Qing was around, she did not feel such a strong sense of loneliness.

Because when you return home, the old man is there, he will keep you company.

You say he listens; he wants to speak, you just listen.

Or the two of you stay silent toward anyone, just staying there, and the spirit is also peaceful.

With him present, he can smooth out all ripples caused by the outside world.

After the old man disappeared, home was no longer home.

When she returns, most of the time it is cold and deserted.

Going to her children's homes, she also cannot find that feeling.

Actually, even if the family members don't say it, she can sense that most people have a feeling of bewilderment.

She is the same.

Yang Qing's departure, she also did not feel it too sudden.

The choices of the three mothers-in-law actually had their endings written long ago.

Father-in-law, such a proud person.

Because of familial affection, he can compromise once, letting everyone push him around.

But he will not keep compromising indefinitely.

Most people fear the end of the road, but the father-in-law will not.

It might be a matter of human worth.

She merely faintly feels that to be the case.

He believes that when he can no longer give positive feedback to the world, he should depart.

Rather than continuing to greedily consume the world and wear down its foundations.

The father-in-law probably thinks exactly that.

His viewpoint is now also beginning to influence her.

Tian Weiwei, lying on the spacecraft bound for Venus, watches the spacecraft traveling in the darkness.

This feeling is a kind of terrifying feeling.

Endless darkness, endless despair.

You think space is bright, but in fact it is dark.

Only the direction of the sun is bright; everywhere else is endless darkness.

Because the spacecraft travels in the superhighway (the solar system superhighway, which is actually a borrowed-force channel linking planetary gravities), after two months Tian Weiwei arrived at Venus.

After changing spacecraft, Tian Weiwei came to the renowned Sky City.

After entering the atmosphere, Tian Weiwei can even see sulfuric acid in the air, forming droplets on the spacecraft's surface.

This is a world where sulfuric acid lies beneath the sky.

The acid rain on Earth is not worth mentioning here.

As she approached Sky City, she saw many wind turbines.

The city is made of balloons.

Among the various strangely shaped balloons, the city's framework is built from the latest lightweight materials.

It contains residential, work, entertainment, industrial, and ecological zones……

The architectural style here is fundamentally different from that elsewhere.

Everything here pursues lightweight design, followed by durability and reliability.

Just like the people who come here, those who are petite are prioritized, and those with a tenacious personality are prioritized.

So after Tian Weiwei arrived here, all she saw were cute girls and handsome guys.

They eat and use little, yet they are not lacking in work.

Moreover, they are even-tempered and cheerful.

No obsession, no perversion.

Living with these people, Tian Weiwei felt her whole being filled with fervor.

She toured how to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then make dry ice.

She also toured how to extract moisture from sulfuric acid.

Finally, Tian Weiwei went to see the sky canopy.

That is a huge mist generator.

It continuously sprays thick mist toward the edge of the atmosphere.

Crackling sounds often echo in the mist.

Vast amounts of energy flow along the mist links, converging on the mist generator, which then transmits the energy back to the city wirelessly.

The entire sky canopy resembles a sheet of oyster mushrooms.

The mist sprayed by the mist generator forms a huge, dense smoke column that reaches the edge of the atmosphere, then spreads outward, creating a massive umbrella‑shaped structure thick in the middle and thin at the edges; at night, flashes of lightning can be seen shimmering within the mist.

Under the mist's shade, it is somewhat darker and also a bit cooler compared to elsewhere.

Tian Weiwei knew this was an environmental transformer.

In the future, more sky canopies will appear on Venus until its temperature falls into a reasonable range.

Then, Venus will be opened up for large‑scale development.

On Venus, the thick atmosphere can be transformed into a place suitable for human habitation.

Of course, humanity's main habitat will remain in the sky, because Venus's atmospheric density is too high and its surface pressure too great; in the short term it is hard to establish a place fit for large‑scale human survival on the ground.

Developing Venus will also rely mainly on machines.

After leaving Venus again, she arrived at the space station.

Tian Weiwei must board a ship to Mercury here.

Then she will fly all the way to Mercury to experience what it's like to live closest to the Sun.

Once aboard again, Tian Weiwei received a mission.

"Let me film a documentary?"

"What's there to film? Just let a robot do it."

After a delay in the message,

"Because you're a celebrity, you're perfect to host this shoot."

"Yang Family, you need to speed up the development of Mercury."

"Your job is to let everyone see Mercury's value."
