Chapter 158 Time flies and it's advanced again
Flowers, grass, red carpets and festive red decorations fill the courtyard and hall.
Wedding photos of the newlyweds were hung everywhere, and a large screen played a video clip of the couple's beautiful moments from dating to marriage. Accompanied by romantic music, the scene was filled with a sickly sweet atmosphere.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Xiao Qi, I never thought you'd grown up and got married in the blink of an eye. Time flies."
Zhang Peng, who now has some gray hair, looks at the handsome young man in front of him with emotion.
He was wearing a handsome suit, looking energetic, capable and like an adult.
Although he is only 21 years old, he looks as mature as a -year-old.
Liu Qi smiled slightly, "Grandpa Zhang, please go in and sit down first. My grandpa and the others are already waiting inside."
Guests continued to pour in to congratulate the newlyweds and their parents, and soon there were thousands of people sitting in the huge manor.
The wedding officially started.
The emcee was standing next to the stage with a microphone and a smile on his face, while the newlyweds and their parents were standing in the center of the stage.
"Dear relatives and friends, dear friends."
"Welcome to the wedding of Mr. Liu Qi and Miss Zhao Duoduo."
"Mr. Liu and Ms. Zhao have known each other since junior high school, and have been together for seven years..."
Liu Peiqiang felt very uncomfortable when watching the video introducing the newcomers' experiences.
He whispered to Han Duoduo next to him, "I'm still not used to it. Nowadays, children are dating at the age of 112. Isn't this premature love?"
Han Duoduo rolled her eyes at him and said, "Come on, Lao Liu, just be content. Our Liu Qi is 5 years older than him, so he is old enough to eat young grass. Don't take advantage of him and act like a good kid."
"Isn't this too early to get married? One is twenty-one and the other is nineteen..."
"Why, you still want to wait until you're twenty-two? Don't forget that it's illegal to not get married after you're twenty-two."
The two talked about their children's marriage and both lamented that the times were changing too fast.
In my impression, Liu Qi is still that arrogant little brat. How come his child is married after just a few business trips?
Don’t you think this is sad?
The elders among the many guests present also had mixed feelings and were full of emotion.
"Times have changed..."
Now the United Earth's "Compulsory Marriage Law" stipulates that men are considered adults at the age of 18, and women are considered adults at the age of 16, and can get married.
There is also an upper limit, that men must not marry later than 22 years old, and women must not marry later than 20 years old, otherwise they will be arranged marriages by the government.
The first child must be born within three years of marriage, and no fewer than five children must be born within ten years.
These regulations would have been simply incomprehensible in the past.
However, today human society generally adopts nutrition improvement plans and knowledge inculcation techniques. Children eat nutritious food from an early age and use conditioning chambers to improve their physical fitness. A series of black technologies that promote growth and development are used in a multi-pronged approach, and they generally achieve physical and mental maturity at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
After graduating from elementary school, they were already 180 to 190 centimeters tall at the age of 12 or 13, strong and sturdy, with a mature look, as if they had taken hormones. They didn't need to go to the gym, but everyone had a body of toned muscles.
Coupled with the popularization of knowledge inculcation technology, the level of compulsory education for citizens has been raised to the postgraduate level. Almost all children born after 2044 will be doctors, and will be well-rounded in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor aspects.
This is still the minimum. When you really get a job, you need to get three to five doctoral degrees and become a comprehensive talent.
Only in this way can we meet the complex job requirements of the interstellar era and give full play to the labor potential of individuals.
Liu Qi brought his bride to toast the old man.
"Dad, Mom, you've worked hard outside. This is a toast to you."
Liu Peiqiang punched his son in the chest. His son was a head taller than him.
"You kid, you must not mistreat Duoduo in the future. You must give in to your wife in everything, understand?"
Liu Qi chuckled: "I understand. I understand everything. How can I not understand with you and our mother teaching me by example?"
"Well, you brat, you dare to make fun of your father!"
After a round of drinking, everyone got drunk and laughed with their friends and family.
[Warning, the fleet is about to encounter a G7-level solar storm, and the communication system is about to be shut down! ]
At this moment, a mechanically synthesized warning sounded in Liu Peiqiang's ears.
His face changed, and he stood up and said to his relatives and friends around him: "Sorry, something happened on the spacecraft, I have to log off first."
"Liu Qi, happy wedding!"
After saying that, the figure flashed and turned into white light and disappeared.
In order to catch up with the progress, holidays have been cancelled all over the world, and families are often separated by thousands of miles, sometimes halfway across the solar system.
Therefore, many activities have been changed to be held in virtual space, saving time, effort and worry. This is the case with Liu Qi's wedding.
Unexpectedly, Liu Peiqiang logged off immediately before even attending the entire wedding.
His family couldn't help but worry whether he had gotten into any trouble.
Liu Qi looked gloomy. Han Duoduo saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, raised her glass, stood up and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. Peiqiang is busy with official duties, so don't worry about him. Let's continue!"
"Moss, report the situation."
After waking up from the hibernation capsule, the first thing Liu Peiqiang did was to ask the spacecraft's AI what had happened.
[The spacecraft early warning system detected that the sun had just produced a level 15 storm. The coronal ejection will reach the fleet in 8 minutes, and the damage level is estimated to be G7.]
"Level 15... This level hasn't appeared in several years."
Liu Peiqiang was filled with alarm. Ever since the Voyager lost contact thirteen years ago, the sun has rarely been so active, and the highest solar storm level recorded was only level 12.
"Wake up all pilots and order everyone to stand by. Check the integrity of the entire ship!"
Although the Galactus spacecraft has the ability to resist G10-level radiation damage, Liu Peiqiang still woke up everyone on the spacecraft for safety reasons.
[Warning, the sun has experienced continuous abnormal activity in a short period of time, and it is suspected that the solar helium flash will occur early. The global level 1 emergency plan has been activated! ]
At the United Earth Headquarters, Liu Peiqiang's report, as well as intensive reports from astronomical observatories around the world and throughout the solar system, were gathered on the conference table of the United Government's decision makers.
"Has it been confirmed?"
"It has been confirmed that within two hours, the sun experienced two consecutive Category 2 storms."
"The helium flash team conducted real-time observations of the sun and found that the sun has entered an abnormally active state again. The solar helium flash is very likely to occur ahead of schedule!"
Mike, who was already gray-haired, pulled his hair in distress: "Why is it earlier again? Is this a joke? Physics doesn't exist anymore?"
Zhou Zhezhi said calmly: "Haven't we already imagined such a situation? How much of the solar fusion controller has been completed? Can it be put into use in advance?"
He has a head full of white hair, but with the support of current medical technology, he still maintains a good spirit and is in good spirits.
"The main controller is 87% complete. If it is forced to start early, the consequences will be unpredictable."
"What do you mean the consequences are unpredictable?" the Russian representative asked back dissatisfiedly.
Hao Xiaoxi, general counsel of the permanent council, said calmly: "It may intensify abnormal solar activity, or it may control solar activity, or it may control overload and burn. The probability of that result is unpredictable."
"What does the Solar Helium Flash Research Group say?"
"The current conclusion is that given the current intensified and unusually active solar activity, a helium flash is likely to occur within two to four months."
"The traveler still can't be contacted?"
Hao Xiaoxi shook his head.
"Damn it!"
Mike slammed his fist on the table angrily and cursed: "This damn alien lied to us!"
"You fooled everyone!"
