I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 10: New Year's Events

Why is Zhang Hong unwilling to get involved with Alicia?

In fact, if he was interested, he could have taken Alice down as well, because that woman was also interested in him, but not as blatantly as Alicia.

But this kind of thing does not fit Zhang Hong's personality.

Although twin sisters sound very attractive, Zhang Hong is a man with very correct values.

Otherwise, he would not have been chosen by God to be the savior.

It's not impossible to have two relationships at the same time, but there must be clear principles and bottom lines.

It must be a consenting relationship among all three parties, and it must not be illegal or criminal.

In ancient society, people could have three wives and four concubines, but this is not possible in modern society.

Moreover, Zhang Hong knew very well that his emotional problems were not a simple matter.

He must maintain his identity as the savior in this world and cannot have any stain on him.

Then can you choose one and marry her?

Not at all.

This is very irresponsible to the woman.

He will definitely leave after completing the mission, and he can't take anyone with him then. Isn't that deliberately creating a widow?

How can I be worthy of the woman's infatuation?

Well, even if I don’t have a conscience, I just want to have loved.

What about the child? Should I have a child?

Definitely not having children. If the child inherits the superpowers of the Kryptonians, it will definitely cause devastating damage to the utopian world that Zhang Hong painstakingly built.

Relying on his descendants' prominent status and invincible extraordinary power, his descendants will definitely become natural nobles or even royals, and it is very likely that a small number of people will become arrogant and domineering over the people. Zhang Hong could not tolerate this happening.

Why not adopt a child instead?

Not at all.

The child's identity is too sensitive. Once used by someone with ulterior motives, it will become a factor in the division of the Human Republic, such as evolving into a powerful family. The subsequent negative impacts are endless and confusing.

If I conceal my identity, it will be very hard for both the children and the adults. Why bother? The circle in Republic City is so small that it is difficult to hide it.

What? You said we can just stay friends without having kids or getting married?

roll!

Why are you being so rude to me here?

Are you corrupting the flowers of our motherland?

A great man once said that any love that is not aimed at marriage is hooliganism.

Your idea of ​​getting something for free is even more shameless. It is a heinous crime, simply extremely vicious!

Ah tui——I, Zhang Hong, am ashamed to be associated with you.

……

In short, after a series of careful considerations, Zhang Hong decided to politely decline the kindness of Alicia, Alice, and many other beauties.

"I'm sorry, you guys are not my type, and I can't learn the Hollywood style of doing things immediately and ruthlessly. So..."

After saying sorry in his heart, Zhang Hong put aside all the romantic matters and continued to study, research and explore the mysteries of the universe.

Time flies, autumn goes and winter comes.

"General!"

"Go, stop him!"

"No, we should drive!"

In a small park in the middle of a residential area, several gray-haired old men gathered together to watch a chess game.

These old men include some with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin, some with black hair, black eyes and black skin, and some with blond hair, blue eyes and white skin. Their appearances are very different, but they all speak fluent and authentic Chinese. This scene is strangely yet inexplicably harmonious.

Old John watched for a while and left with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

He wanted to stay with his old friends for a while longer, but Alan had a dinner date with him, and he also had to buy some gifts for Alan's wife.

Jessica's belly has been growing for several months, and the baby is about to be born. This time, we can't go to dinner empty-handed.

"Uncle John, are you here to see your son again?"

"Hey, yeah. Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet. Do you want to come to my house? I just made dumplings with beef filling!"

"Thanks, I'll definitely eat next time. I'll eat at Alan's house today."

Old John met Alan's neighbors and greeted them warmly.

After visiting Alan's neighbors so many times, he got to know all of them.

After saying goodbye to his enthusiastic neighbors, Old John felt something was not right.

It seems that the citizens of Republic City are using Chinese more and more frequently recently, and almost no one speaks English, although both are officially recognized basic languages.

But after using it for a while, Old John clearly felt that Chinese was much better than English. The words were more expressive, profound, and colorful.

So much so that he almost forgot that he was a native English speaker.

"Alan, this memory transfer technology is really amazing. It only takes one day to allow people to learn something that they would not be able to learn in their entire lives."

While chatting at the dinner table, Old John couldn't help but say to Alan with emotion.

Today, all citizens of the Republic, including senior citizens like him over the age of 50, have undergone memory transfer surgery, mastered two languages, English and Chinese, and acquired a large amount of scientific knowledge.

Alan smiled and said, "There's more to it than just this. Dad, have you noticed that you've gotten younger when you looked in the mirror recently? This is all thanks to the gene optimization drug."

Old John nodded. "Indeed, I feel like I am 20 years younger. I feel energetic, and all my old backaches have disappeared."

Genetic optimization drugs are now popular, even earlier than memory transfer surgery. Because the brain of people over 50 years old degenerates, they must first undergo genetic optimization to improve their physical fitness in order to be able to withstand memory transfer.

In just half a year, these two new technologies were popularized in every household. People changed from initial suspicion and resistance to acceptance and praise.

This is all thanks to volunteers like Alan, who set an example and convinced others with practical results.

Alan joked, "Dad John, if you go out and tell others that you are 40 years old, I think people will believe you. You will definitely charm a lot of aunts when you go on blind dates!"

Old John laughed: "Come on, kid. You're pushing me to find a partner again. I haven't seen you introduce many to me."

"Didn't we introduce each other last time?"

"How dare you say that. That woman is a married woman!"

"Hehe, I didn't know at the time, and the aunt herself didn't explain it clearly..."

Old John shook his head.

He has a clear mind.

Finding a life partner is not that easy.

There is a serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women in the Republic, and there are too many aunts and the supply is insufficient to meet the demand.

He is already in his seventies, so he won't bother with this matter anymore. It's fine the way it is now.

"when!"

"when!"

"when!"

A loud bell rang outside, nine times in total, symbolizing longevity.

Before I knew it, it was past midnight and the new year had arrived.

Old John spent the first New Year after the end of the new era and the end of the world at Alan's house. Everyone in the city had the same complicated feelings as him.

A lot of things happened this year, from despair to hope, from confusion to the reconstruction of order, from the modern era to the sci-fi future. For ordinary people like old John, all these experiences were like a dream.

Alan turned on the projector, and the holographic projection formed a light curtain on the wall. The figure of the leader of the Republic appeared on the light curtain. Everyone's attention was instantly attracted.

Zhang Hong sat in front of the TV camera, with a smile on his face, and delivered a New Year's speech to all mankind.

"Dear citizens, Happy New Year. Today is the 225th day since the founding of the Republic of Mankind. We are welcoming the first New Year of the new era. On behalf of the government, I wish all the people of the country a Happy New Year!"

The commander's figure was so tall, his face was so kind, and his voice was so gentle, that through the screen, Old John could still feel the sacred glow on the commander.

"Praise the Commander..."

Old John muttered in a low voice.

"Praise the Commander."

The people in front of the TV also recited this sentence spontaneously.

The phrase "Praise the Commander" has now become a catchphrase among the citizens of the Republic, replacing phrases such as "God bless you."

Because everyone sincerely thanks and supports this human leader.

He is so approachable that people often overlook the fact that he is a messenger sent by God and possesses great and extraordinary power.

Think of him as a member of the human race, a living saint.

"Citizens."

Zhang Hong said: "This year, everyone has made arduous efforts to rebuild human civilization. Many people have endured great pain and psychological trauma and sacrificed their personal time and needs. I have seen everyone's efforts."

"Thank you for your hard work. On behalf of the human government and the next generation of mankind, thank you!"

After expressing his gratitude, the commander reviewed the major events and achievements of the year and summarized some difficulties and shortcomings.

He then emphasized that the biggest difficulty in human revival at present is insufficient population and weak ability to resist risks, which makes it difficult to support rapid economic and social development.

"In order to resolve the population problem, after research and discussion between the government and the Academy of Sciences, the country has formulated the 'Twenty-Year National Population Growth Plan', which will be submitted to the next session of the World Humanity Congress to be held in 10 days for deliberation."

“Everyone can check the draft plan in advance through the official website.”

The commander spoke a lot.

In the past, Old John would definitely not understand these long speeches, nor would he understand the logic or theory behind these statements.

But now, because of the memory transfer surgery and the [National Quality Improvement Plan], Old John is also a person who understands politics and economics. His theoretical level is almost the same, comparable to the retired cadres of the past.

He basically understood everything the commander said.

It is completely understandable and fully supportive to make population restoration the country's top priority.

Other citizens who were watching the live broadcast on TV had similar ideas as Old John.

The effect of Zhang Hong's implementation of the "National Quality Improvement Plan" has already become apparent.

Everyone's ability to accept has improved, and it has become natural to reach a unified understanding.

There was surprisingly not much resistance to introducing new policies and initiating reforms.

However, when everyone saw the "Twenty-Year National Population Recovery Plan" announced on the official website the next day, they were still shocked by the explosive content, which caused an uproar in public opinion.
