The observer nodded and smiled at Lin En.

"I look forward to your answer."

While the two were talking, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded in the institute.

After hearing the alarm, Lynn's heart sank to the bottom.

"what happened?"

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked the observer beside him.

"Your Highness, wait a moment."

Seeing this, the observer quickly walked to the computer and began typing rapidly on the keyboard. Soon he figured out why the alarm sounded in the institute.

"Your Highness, I need to report some bad news to you now."

At this time, the observer's face had become extremely pale, he was shaking all over and gasping for breath, with cold sweat constantly oozing down his forehead.

"Say it, I'm listening."

Seeing this, Lin En had already prepared himself mentally.

"According to tests, the lifespan of the sun is conservatively estimated to be less than 100 days. From this moment on, our civilization has entered the countdown."

The observer said pessimistically.

"Don't be so pessimistic."

Lynn put his hand on the other person's shoulder and said comfortingly to him.

"Until the last moment, everything will turn around. We must not give up hope."

Seeing that the observer looked dazed and didn't take his words seriously, Lin En didn't want to continue chatting with him. After instructing him to continue observing the sun, Lin En immediately came to the construction site of the plasma spark tower.

Seeing Lin En coming, the general manager immediately came forward to greet him.

"Your Highness is here."

"Ah."

Lin En nodded. Due to the urgency of the situation, he didn't want to exchange pleasantries with the other party.

"How is the construction of the plasma spark tower going? When will it be completed?"

Hearing Lin En's question, the general manager thought for a moment and then gave an answer.

“It will probably take about a year to be completed.”

"too slow."

Lin En couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this.

"We have to speed up and at least shorten the construction period to one third of the original time."

Upon hearing Lin En's request, the general manager immediately showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.

"But this is already the fastest speed. If it goes any faster, I can't guarantee that there will be no hidden dangers in the plasma spark tower we build."

"I know, but there is nothing I can do. We don't have much time left."

Lynn sighed deeply.

Then he held the other person's hand and spoke to him in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Let me tell you something. According to conservative estimates, the sun has less than a hundred days left to live."

"How could this be?"

Upon hearing this, the person in charge of the plasma spark tower construction couldn't help but reveal a trace of despair on his face.

Lin En patted the other person's shoulder and comforted him.

"So I'm counting on you. I believe you can create a miracle. I need to allocate supplies now to prepare to preserve the fire for our civilization. Most of you are on the list of people leaving, so I can only give you three months. After three months, regardless of whether the plasma spark tower is completed or not, most of you must leave on the spacecraft."

Chapter 4: Final Farewell

"Three months is still too short."

The person in charge of the plasma spark tower construction project sighed deeply and pleaded with Lin En in front of him.

"Can't you give me a little more time?"

Seeing this, Lin En couldn't help but sigh.

"I can't help it. This is not something we can decide. I won't say anything more. In short, in these last three months, please do your best. I believe you can create a miracle."

Lynn said this to the other party.

Then, without waiting for the other party's response, Lin En hurriedly left here. The sun was about to be destroyed, and he still had a lot to do, so he couldn't stay here forever.

Looking at Lin En's departing back, the general manager couldn't help but reveal a complicated look on his face.

"Your Highness's trust is really heavy."

He couldn't help but express such emotion.

At this moment, he felt as if he was carrying a heavy burden, which made him unable to breathe. However, for the future of the entire civilization, he still pulled himself together, dragged his old body, and turned around to continue his intense work.

————————————————————

"Your Highness, after these days of careful calculations, we have finally estimated the maximum number of people that the spacecraft can accommodate within a reasonable range."

The staff member in charge of statistics handed the calculated list to Lin En.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Hearing this, Lin En took the list and read it carefully several times. Then his frown relaxed and a hint of surprise appeared on his face unconsciously.

"According to your statistics, our spaceship can not only easily accommodate everyone on the list, but also have a lot of space left?"

"Yes."

The staff nodded.

“That’s really great.”

Lynn said with a smile.

"That's the best news I've heard today."

"Your Highness, how do you plan to arrange the remaining space?"

The staff member asked Lynn.

"Hold on!"

Lynn fell into deep thought after hearing this.

But soon he gave instructions to the staff.

"Let the children go. Their beautiful lives have just begun and they should not wither away here. They are the future of civilization. Besides, children consume less materials than adults. In this way, we can let more people leave here."

"clear."

Hearing Lin En's instructions, the staff present nodded immediately.

"Your Highness, please give us a moment. We will prepare a new list for you soon. Do you have any other instructions, Your Highness?"

"Have."

Lynn answered without hesitation.

He looked at the staff present seriously and made a request to them.

"If possible, I hope you can put the youngest person in every family on this list."

"Let's do our best."

After hearing Lin En's request, the staff didn't dare to guarantee it and could only say this to Lin En.

"Then it's up to you."

In the days that followed, it was as if someone pressed the fast-forward button, and three months passed in a flash.

During these three months, Lin En was so busy that he hardly ever went home and was always running around.

But today he temporarily put aside the work at hand and returned to the palace where his parents lived.

"I am back."

When Lin En pushed open the door of the palace and walked towards the inside of the palace, he suddenly saw a black shadow flash past his eyes, and then something fell directly into his arms.

"Brother, you are finally back. I missed you so much."

Lin En looked carefully and found that his sister was burying her head in his arms and acting coquettishly towards him.

"Yes, I'm back."

Seeing this, Lin En reached out and gently touched her sister's head, and spoke to her in a very gentle tone.

During this period, his sister had been living in the palace to accompany her parents and rarely went out. However, Lin En had hardly ever returned to the palace, so they had not seen each other for three months.

"Is it the final moment?"

The younger sister is a smart person. She knows very well that her brother, who rarely comes home on weekdays, came back home today, which is unusual. Something big must have happened.

"Yes."

Lin En nodded and said this to the sister in his arms.

"Pack your things later, say goodbye to your parents, and then leave with me."

The younger sister did not respond when she heard this, but kept her head buried in Lin En's arms in silence.

After a while, Lynn felt his chest getting wet.

He knew that his sister must be lying in his arms crying.

Lin En didn't dare to go to see his sister at this time, because he couldn't stand his sister crying.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then spoke to his sister.

"Okay, stop doing this. You're grown up now. How can you shoulder the mission of protecting your people if you keep crying? Besides, the separation is only temporary. Didn't we make an agreement? We will meet under the starry sky in the future."

After hearing Lin En's comfort, the sister raised her head.

At this time, her eyes were a little red, and there were still a few tears in the corners of her eyes.

Noticing Lin En's gaze, she hurriedly wiped away her tears with her hands and spoke to Lin En in a strong manner.

"I'm not crying, you must be mistaken."

"is it?"

Hearing this, Lin En reached out and touched the other person's cute little face, then smiled at him.

"Then I guess I was wrong. After all, you are now grown up and can shoulder the responsibility of protecting the tribe."

"Yes."

She nodded and looked at Lynn seriously.

"Don't forget our promise. We must meet again under the starry sky."

"I won't forget it," Lynn assured her.

With Lin En's assurance, she immediately felt relieved and turned back to her room to pack her things.

After she packed her things, Lynn took her to her parents' room for their final farewell.

At the moment of parting, the mother hugged her sister and cried silently.

But the father was watching this scene quietly from the side. He tried hard not to shed tears and spoke to the two of them in a calm tone.

"Well, it's not like we won't see each other again in the future. Don't make the child too sad."

After a brief farewell, Lynn left the palace with her sister.

Before leaving, the younger sister looked at her parents and bowed deeply to them.

"Father, mother, I am grateful for your care over the years. I hope we can meet again in the future."

"Certainly possible."

Lynn stood beside her and spoke to her with a firm look on his face.

Just as the two were about to leave, Lin En's father suddenly called Lin En.
