Dale's words immediately made Reed and Gu Yan's eyes focus on her.
She instinctively shrank back.
A timid look.
I am indeed a bit introverted.
However, Reed seemed to be very interested in her, and even smiled as he asked:
"Don't you resent your father?"
"No, how could that be?" Dale was surprised and waved her hands repeatedly, even a little flustered.
"But your father brought you into this desperate world for some unrealistic fantasies. In their opinion, this is actually very unfair to you," Reed said.
Steinbeck did show an expression of shame and even dared not look at his daughter.
Because that's so selfish.
Human civilization will only last a few decades at most before it is completely destroyed.
It is much shorter than a human lifetime.
No one knows what will happen before this, but everyone can imagine that it will definitely not be a pleasant thing.
Death, crisis, chaos, despair. To be born into such a world at this time means to encounter these.
Therefore, even if he was hated and resented, Steinbeck, as a father, had no reason to defend himself.
He felt guilty towards his daughter.
but--
"Why do you have such thoughts?" Dale bravely said in a low voice, "This world may be really bad, but if I am not born, then wouldn't there be nothing?"
"Sometimes, having nothing is better than experiencing despair." Reed looked at her meaningfully.
Dale opened her mouth, but didn't know how to explain.
She seemed a little anxious.
Finally, he looked around, suddenly stood up, ran to the desk, and brought back a thick book.
"This, this is my favorite book." She said stutteringly.
"so what."
This time it was Gu Yan who spoke, and he gave Dale an encouraging look.
The encouragement seemed to work.
Dale's nervousness eased a little, and she finally thought of what she wanted to say.
"If I had not been born, I would not have been able to read this book, nor would I have my favorite things, oh, and the taste of cake."
"Dale." Steinbeck couldn't help but murmur.
"So, do you think there are still things you like in this world?" Reed leaned back on the sofa at this time and smiled slowly, "Even if you are facing the despair of human extinction, facing this increasingly bad world, and even facing the incomprehension and ridicule of other classmates and other humans, you still feel lucky to have come to this world?"
"I, I"
Dale opened her mouth, but no words came out.
She hasn't felt the despair of humanity yet. After all, her current world is still very small. But she has already felt the pain brought by the ridicule of others.
So, is it worth it for me to come to this world? Her face flushed, and there was some confusion in her eyes.
"Okay, Reed." Gu Yan spoke at this time, "No need to say more. Humans are living creatures. Survival is the instinctive pursuit of life. As long as we are still alive, it is better than anything else. Despair, pain, and torture cannot completely destroy all human beings' will to survive - this is also the meaning of our saving humanity."
If everyone regretted coming into this world when faced with despair and pain, then humanity would have no future long ago.
It is because there are some people who still struggle in times of despair and work towards a better tomorrow.
Gu Yan's words made Dale's eyes seem to shine.
She hasn't felt true despair yet, and perhaps can't really understand the meaning of Gu Yan's words, but she can already find some strength from them.
Even Stanbeck was staring at Gu Yan in a daze at this time.
"Yes." He had reacted and said excitedly, "You are from the Humanity Protection Association, and you have not given up on the future of mankind! Otherwise, you wouldn't come to me, an old man who is no longer useful!"
Just now he almost thought he had forgotten the identities and purposes of these two people.
"That's right." Reid nodded, the smile on his face did not fade away, "We came here because we do have something we want to ask you for help with."
"Please tell me!" Steinbeck nodded seriously with a serious face, "As long as I can do it!"
He has even given his own commitment.
Now in his heart.
The status of the two people in front of him and the "Humanity Protection Association" they mentioned has even surpassed the world government.
After all, they have achieved what the world regime once could not do!
"It's very simple." Reed said calmly, "We want to see how much effect the world government still has. You take the blueprint we gave you and say that you designed it in the past 20 years. Then go to them and ask them to mobilize manpower and resources to realize it."
This is the real purpose of Reed and Gu Yan coming here.
They are not going to show up straight away.
Instead, we should use Steinbeck's identity to see how much desire the leaders of this world still have to save themselves.
And use this to decide subsequent actions.
Of course, Steinbeck's identity as a representative of the School of Hope is equally important.
Hearing this request, Steinbeck's eyes lit up.
That was what he originally thought.
But at this moment, I am more certain.
The two people in front of us, and the Human Protection Association behind them, which has scientific research artificial intelligence life, truly want to save mankind and save this civilization!
"Leave it to me!" he said firmly, looking at Dale, "Let me give my last bit of strength for my daughter's future!"
At this time, Steinbeck had made up his mind.
No matter what, the space migration project must be restarted! This is not only the life mission of a top scientist, but also a father's promise to his daughter.
"Then we'll be waiting for your good news." Reed and Gu Yan stood up.
Their purpose has been accomplished.
Before leaving, Gu Yan suddenly handed something to Dale.
It was a flat plate.
"I think Xiaoxi will be happy to teach you some knowledge."
After Gu Yan finished speaking, he ignored Dale's surprised expression.
Then he turned around and left.
From the moment he took out the blueprints to the moment he entered the room, every word and even every action he and Reed took had a clear purpose.
Including everything he did to Dale.
