Shen Feng took Du Fansheng into the sky, and Xiao Long, in the air, asked, "Where exactly are we going?"
Shen Feng replied, "You are the oldest, so you don't need to undergo the same training as them. I'm going to find you a master. Since your ability is to control electricity, of course, I'll find someone related to that to teach you."
Xiao Long's reaction was quick, and he immediately asked, "Are we going to find Jin Zijue?"
"That's right, it's him. He's also a seventh-tier ability user now, more than enough to teach you. Don't upset your master casually; he has a bad temper and will hit people if angered!" Shen Feng said.
Du Fansheng had no choice but to obey his father's authority and nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Du Fansheng suddenly asked, "Dad, when will you let Mom come over? I heard Sister Ran can already create organs. Since Mom was frozen because of heart disease, can't we just create a new heart for her and replace it? Why isn't she awake yet?"
Shen Feng had not intended to let Xiao Long know about his mother. It was two years ago when someone accidentally let slip the truth to him, and then he understood where his mother had gone.
Sometimes, Xiao Long would see his mother's face. In his memory, his mother seemed to have gone to a faraway place and never returned. As he grew older, he thought his father was deceiving him, and his mother was likely dead, which was why he wasn't told.
Later, Xiao Long learned that his mother had always been in the underground castle, never leaving him.
Therefore, Xiao Long always dreamed that one day his mother would wake up, reappear by his side, and say many caring words to him.
And now, Xiao Long raised his question.
Shen Feng was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm not worried about that. I'm worried that if her organs are replaced and your mother still doesn't wake up, it will be a wasted opportunity. Replacing a heart isn't something that can be done casually. If there's no ten-tenths certainty, people can die on the operating table. So, if you want to see her, you must bear the corresponding risks!"
Xiao Long continued to ask, "Then when will she wake up? Will she have to spend her life in that cramped cryo-chamber?"
Shen Feng replied, "At least until the end of this doomsday. I will personally wake her up. By then, there won't be too much volcanic ash on Earth, and the Earth's temperature will have risen, no longer being this cold state. Then, our whole family can have a picnic outdoors!"
Xiao Long thought for a moment and said, "Dad, you can definitely do this, right?"
"I don't know if I can do it, but I promise I will do my best to accomplish it and not disappoint you. When you grow up, you will definitely see blue skies and white clouds, and there will be no danger around!" Shen Feng said seriously.
Shen Feng had experienced many dangers during the doomsday, so he understood what it felt like to live in such a dangerous environment. His youth had been spent in this danger, so he absolutely could not let his children repeat the same mistake.
Only by letting his children run freely in the sunshine could he be considered a truly qualified father!
"Old Jin, I'm here to find you. Where are you? Stop playing dead and come out quickly!" Shen Feng went directly to Jin Zijue's home and started shouting.
"Shut up! Hurry up and shut up!" Jin Zijue heard the commotion outside the door and immediately ran out, waving at Shen Feng to quiet down and stop shouting.
Shen Feng said, "I am your superior now, so you'd better be polite to me and watch your words!"
Jin Zijue quickly replied, "Even if the King of Heaven himself came, you can't shout like this. You've woken up my little ancestor, and now I'm in trouble!"
Shen Feng heard this and couldn't help but ask, "Judging by what you said, it seems you have a child!"
Jin Zijue replied, "That's right! I have a son. He weighed only three catties when he was born! And he's healthy now, with no illnesses."
"That's wonderful. My little daughter can't leave the isolation room at all right now, or she'll get sick. She can only live in a small, enclosed room. I don't know how long it will take for her resistance to catch up!" Shen Feng said with emotion.
"That's because your child is precious, so after encountering a harsh environment, their body shows symptoms of intolerance. My son, as the child of a mere warrior, doesn't have your worries. He can grow up normally!" Jin Zijue said.
Shen Feng could only shake his head helplessly upon hearing this and then pointed to Xiao Long beside him, saying, "My son is an electric ability user. So, please teach him how to use his abilities."
"Teaching him is no problem, of course. But now I know why you're still training your children? Do you feel that war might break out again? So, to protect themselves in the future, they need to have strong combat capabilities?" Jin Zijue suddenly asked.
"It's not like that. I just want them to be able to protect themselves. Because the future is uncertain, if one day I get tired of war and the current life, I might retreat to the mountains. And then these children can't all hide with me; they need to have their own abilities!" Shen Feng said with a smile.
"There's not a single word you say that can be believed. I don't believe what you're saying is true!" Jin Zijue said.
Afterward, Shen Feng gave Xiao Long a few instructions and then flew back into the sky, heading north. No one knew where his destination was, but one could guess that there were no decent cities left to the north of Rongcheng. Generally, people would head to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the northwest.
Jin Zijue looked at Shen Feng's departing figure and thought to himself, "This guy came to find me so suddenly today and handed his son over to me for training. He must have sensed something, which is why he's rushing to cultivate his descendants. It seems I also need to prepare for battle."
Shen Feng flew for half a day and arrived at Jiuquan. As soon as he landed, he was monitored by others. When these people saw it was Shen Feng, they immediately put away their weapons. If an outsider intruded here, they would definitely open fire without hesitation.
"City Lord, why didn't you notify us before coming here? We could have prepared to welcome you!" a soldier couldn't help but ask Shen Feng.
Shen Feng replied, "This time I'm here not on official business, but to see how the rockets are doing. I didn't want to disturb your normal work, so I didn't notify you. You should go back to what you were doing. Remember, no matter who suspicious enters, you need to verify it immediately!"
Afterward, Shen Feng found Li Keyi, who looked much thinner. After all, it snowed for seven to eight months a year in this place, making it almost impossible to grow vegetables. So, after spending more than a year in such harsh and cold conditions, she naturally became much thinner.
Shen Feng saw that the once bright and beautiful woman now looked a bit weathered and felt a pang of sympathy. He said, "You've worked hard this time, but I promise that as soon as the meteorite is built, and I can find the meteorite and launch it into space, we will take you to a quiet and peaceful place to live in seclusion! Then, our whole family won't have to worry about external matters, and living in a small place will be enough!"
Li Keyi walked over and said, "Don't say such things now. I came here voluntarily anyway. Several rockets have been built, but flying them is not easy, especially carrying heavy meteorites into the sky, which is even more difficult!"
Shen Feng looked around, ensuring no one was paying attention to him, and then said, "Actually, the whereabouts of the meteorite have been almost found. I've already asked Yu Renshu to monitor it. He will report to me immediately if there are any developments. Now, all that's left is the rocket!"
Li Keyi felt immense pressure upon hearing this and then said, "We are working overtime, but we haven't built rockets for over a decade. Even scientists have become rusty with many of the data. It's not easy to build rockets that can fly into the sky as quickly as possible!"
Shen Feng said, "Actually, building rockets isn't that important anymore. What's important is that we might face war soon. Once we find the meteorite, it will provoke the hatred of countless people. Therefore, launching the rocket must be done quickly!"
Li Keyi thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any solutions for this. How about we go find those scientists and ask them for advice?"
"That's a good idea. Let's go ask those scientists for their suggestions, but be sure not to reveal the news about the meteorite. Just ask how to ensure the rocket launches smoothly and how to avoid missiles from other places!" Shen Feng said afterward.
Afterward, Shen Feng and Li Keyi went to find the scientists here. The scientists who could provide guidance here all looked white-haired. In reality, the younger ones were only in their 40s, and the older ones were in their 50s. But unfortunately, due to the high oxygen concentration on Earth, the aging process of the human body accelerated, and eventually, they became frail.
It was fortunate that they were gathered now to build rockets. If it were another ten years, the older generation of scientists would likely have died of old age.
When Shen Feng appeared, these scientists and engineers were clamoring for supplies, as building rockets required an immense amount of materials. Special metals, especially alloys, required countless factories to manufacture. Additionally, there were fuels and precision electronic components. Without these items, it was impossible to build a rocket.
