A: "There is only one thing I desire - that you are alive."
"If you don't sit in the captain's seat when the ship is launched... that would be outrageous."
…
He heard many, many voices.
"Supporters" project their life's work into a blueprint for a new world, dispelling fear with romantic expectations.
“Reflectors” cite traumas to question power, suggesting that there is still a conflict between survival and dignity.
"Opponents" adhere to the authenticity of civilization and believe that this is a pointless escape.
"Dependents" want the majority of people to survive and ignore the process of action.
Among them, Su Mingan was deeply impressed by a writer named Agatha, who pointed to the sky with a pale, bitter smile:
"If the new world we are about to embark on is an ark, then the first class cabin is for top players, the business class belongs to the United Group, and the economy class is filled with ordinary adventure players. As for those 'useless people' in the cargo hold on the bottom floor, can they really get oxygen masks?"
"In the future, the cabins of the New World will be allocated according to the scores of the 'Ming'an System'? Mr. Su, how do you prevent Wilson and others from changing the scoring criteria to 'loyalty to God'? The Pharaoh also promised this back then - and then the Nile River was filled with Hebrew babies."
Such questions are filled with yearning for the ivory tower and the Garden of Eden, and fear of the unknown.

"Rustle..." the sound of pen falling.
There was a slight sound, and the tip of the pen stopped.
“Just like that, I have completely finalized the answer in my mind.”
"As a god, I listened to the voices of many people in the Sunflower Garden."
"The engineer who always hammers in the corner of the engine room transforms the scrapped parts into singing wind chimes; the educator stationed in the village writes the coordinates of the distant Milky Way with chalk on the worn and narrow blackboard; the chef who has lost his sense of taste recreates the taste of his hometown with the laughter of others; the old man rowing the boat misses the river in front of his home all the time."
"They are like mycelium in the soil, silently connected to the earth."
“When I saw the energy progress increasing by tiny counts of 0.01, 0.001, and 0.0001, I knew that when I stood before the gods and the higher dimensions and bet on myself, someone was using a rusty wrench to repair the telescope that was projected into the universe, and children were writing down their fantasies about the starry sky in their composition books.”
"A bowl of sweet porridge that warms the stomach is enough to keep a medical officer on the verge of collapse going for a few more days and nights. A photo from the last century is enough to keep an octogenarian committed to his lifelong career. The development trajectory of this world is actually a brilliant river formed by the confluence of countless seemingly unrelated tributaries."
"They told me a lot of their aspirations, some were wild and unrealistic, some were down to earth, some required day and night efforts, and some had already been achieved. The vast majority did not express opposition, but only expressed a slight regret for the imperfections."
"They told me: 'Everything we did was the best we could do, and this is the best outcome that anyone can accept.'"
"They told me: 'Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Su.'"
"As for me, my desire is very simple. I don't have any long-term desire for Lu Shu, Shan Tian, Lin Yin, Yue Yue... I desire the happiness of most people. I desire the old lady in the flower shop, with wheat ears entangled in her silver hair and the sound of water irrigating flowers flowing in her wrinkles. When the ark docks with honor, she can teach the children to play Zhai Xing's folk songs with wheat straw."
"I hope that when the pioneers close their eyes with a smile, they will see countless successors holding their unburned torches. They will reconstruct their ideals in their own ways: some will weave the fire into wreaths and wear them in their children's hair, while others will use the embers to burn fertile soil and cultivate the wasteland."
“It turns out that true eternity does not lie in the life or death of a certain person, but in the arc of dawn drawn on the horizon when hundreds of millions of people run in relay.”
“I hope that after I die, people will still be moving forward.”
"I hope that it will remain like this whether there is 'Su Ming'an or not."
“The truly immortal adventure I desire is to turn the rest of our lives into a spring of sweet water that can quench the thirst of future generations.”
