The sky is getting brighter. Although it is winter, the weather is very good today. There are no clouds in the sky, and the soft sunlight is spread on the earth without reservation. The windows isolate the cold air outside, but let the warm sunlight shine in without any obstacles. They sprinkle on Xiao Yun, making Xiao Yun feel a warmth.

Xiao Yun stood in front of the window and thought silently for a while, then turned around, washed and cleaned up, left home, and came to the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, Academy of Computing Sciences.

After a brief greeting with colleagues, Xiao Yun came directly to the director's office and directly expressed his intention: "Director, I want to ask for a period of leave."

The director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence is a bald middle-aged man. When Xiao Yun came here, he was busy with something in front of the holographic computer. Hearing Xiao Yun's voice, he turned around: "Xiao Yun, what's wrong? Have you found the survey on materials on the cold star that may have the potential to open new computing chips?"

Xiao Yun said: "Sorry, the investigation report may take some time to come to you. I have some things to deal with, so..."

The director nodded and said, "Tell me, how long will it take for this time?"

"Forty years." Xiao Yun said these three words calmly.

Although people's average life expectancy has increased significantly, and they have even passed five hundred years, the 40-year holiday is still a bit too amazing. After hearing Xiao Yun say this time, the director opened his mouth in surprise: "Four...forty years?"

"Yes." Xiao Yun nodded.

"No." The director flatly rejected the request without even thinking about it. "This time is too long. Xiao Yun, you are the most outstanding expert in artificial intelligence among our institutes, and there are many things you need to do. Before you went to the Raka Galaxy for investigation and research, you have delayed a lot of things. Now you have finally come back, but you still want to ask for another forty years of leave?"

Since Xiao Yun returned from the Raka Galaxy, he has been under investigation by the Deep Space Security Investigation Bureau. Investigators from the Investigation Bureau have also made it clear that Xiao Yun is required to keep all the experiences in the Raka Galaxy secret. So at this moment, the colleagues and directors of the institute do not know the things about being born in the Raka Galaxy. If they knew... they should know what the forty-year period means.

After the director clearly stated his rejection, Xiao Yun's reaction became even more straightforward: "If you don't allow my vacation, I will resign."

Xiao Yun's reaction was somewhat beyond the expectations of Director. After receiving Xiao Yun's resolute reply, Director looked at Xiao Yun in surprise. Then his tone also slowed down a little: "Xiao Yun, it's not that I don't want to check your fake, but... You have been away from the mainstream academic community for forty years before. If you are away from the forty years... I think you will not be able to keep up with the times. The knowledge in your mind, your thoughts, and your inspiration will all lag behind this era."

Xiao Yun smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter. Today, when the branches of science have been so refined, it is difficult to have a subversive scientific exhibition similar to the theory of relativity or quantum mechanics. Our entire human civilization is just doing some perfect work now. This means that even if I have been away from the academic community for four hundred years, as long as I have been studying for a period of time, I can still quickly catch up with the trend of the times and still carry out the most cutting-edge research."

It is indeed as Xiao Yun said, the total population of human civilization has exceeded 30 trillion. Now that human civilization has been spread across hundreds of star systems, the number of scientific and technological branches has also increased to a terrifying level. The so-called technological leap has not appeared for a long time. At this moment, human civilization is like a worker digging a plank road on a cliff, and can only move forward bit by bit. Learning is always easier than innovation, so Xiao Yun is not worried that he will lag behind this era forty or four hundred years later.

Xiao Yun exposed the truth, and the director didn't know what to say for a while. But he still felt instinctively that forty years it was too long, so he continued to shake his head.

Seeing the director's reaction, Xiao Yun no longer tried to persuade him, but directly knocked on his portable computer. A document appeared on the director's holographic computer: "This is my resignation report."

"Forget it, I'll allow you to have a vacation. Let's talk about resignation later." The director finally sighed and agreed to Xiao Yun's request.

"Thank you." Xiao Yun nodded, then turned around and left here.

After leaving the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, Xiao Yun then came to the Hibernation Administration, filled out some forms here, submitted a hibernation application, and then came to the Deep Space Safety Investigation Bureau, and once again found the two investigators who had visited his home this morning.

"I decided to hibernate for forty years to wait for the news sent back from the Raka Galaxy." Xiao Yun explained his purpose very briefly: "Hidding will start in a month, lasting for forty years. So... If you have any questions to ask me, please as soon as possible."

The investigator's expression was a little surprised: "Hidden for forty years? Why do you need to hibernate? While you continue your life, you are waiting for the investigation results to come out. Isn't that good?"

"No." Xiao Yun shook his head sadly: "I can't bear the torture that lasted forty years. Until the final investigation of this matter is found... I can't let go of this past."

"I must know the truth of the matter, and must see all the abominable monsters killed with my own eyes. Only in this way can I give myself, my lover and my friends an explanation, and my life can continue. Otherwise... every moment of my awakening is torture for me."

"So... I chose to wait for the truth to arrive in an unconscious sleep." Xiao Yun raised his head and said to the two investigators extremely seriously. The two investigators clearly saw that Xiao Yun's eyes had turned red without realizing it, and some liquid began to appear in it.

The two investigators sighed a long time, and then said, "Well, you have the freedom to choose to hibernate or wake up, and we have no reason to interfere with your decision." (To be continued.)
