The psyker, Delico, celebrated his fiftieth birthday.
Now, he has turned a company mainly engaged in machinery manufacturing into a large private enterprise with business covering more than fifty planets.
Even high-ranking officials of the Human Federation need to pay attention to his words.
As for life, it is as peaceful as usual, husband and wife are harmonious, and blood relatives are safe.
Today, he was sitting in the office, holding a cup of black tea and thinking about life. He had just finished lecturing his subordinates not long ago.
At this moment, I am thinking about the company’s next business strategy.
Suddenly, he received a video message from his wife.
Without any hesitation, he clicked the connect button.
After being connected.
Even though he hadn't spoken yet, relying on his body senses that were far beyond ordinary people, Delico could still feel the other party's excitement and joy very keenly.
In a confused mood, he asked with a normal expression:
"What's wrong?"
Compared with when communicating with outsiders, his tone now is relatively gentle.
"I am pregnant!"
His wife's words, full of joy, were like lightning, instantly making his body freeze.
The vigorous spiritual energy in him automatically extended towards his home.
It didn't take long.
After some time of inspection.
He then felt the young life in his wife's belly that was connected to his own blood.
It was a feeling that made him feel extremely intimate.
Feeling the fluctuations of life in my own child, although weak but very strong.
Delico's face subconsciously wanted to reveal a smile.
But at this time, he realized that because he hadn't laughed for so long, he had forgotten how to laugh.
In the end, Delico's face twitched twice before he forced an awkward smile, suppressed his excitement, and said to his wife who looked full of expectation in the video:
"I'll be right back."
Wait until the video hangs up.
Delico immediately couldn't help but slapped the table, feeling extremely excited.
And under his slap, the metal desk made of special alloy was instantly penetrated by the palm carrying psychic energy, like a hot knife cutting through butter.
After calming down his mood, Delico dialed his secretary's communicator. Without waiting for the other party to say anything, he directly ordered:
"My wife is pregnant. To celebrate this event, all employees in our company will take a week's paid leave!"
Faced with this order, the other party was slightly stunned for two seconds before replying with some embarrassment:
"...But boss, our company has a very important order in two days.
If everyone is on holiday, our company's profits this year will be reduced by at least about one-third..."
"That kind of thing doesn't matter at all?
Just give me a holiday for everyone!"
Didn't heed the other party's advice?
Delico maintained his request firmly.
"...Okay...I understand..."
Faced with repeated requests from his boss, the other party could only respond helplessly.
After all, the arm cannot twist the thigh.
The secretary couldn't help but cursed in her heart: 'Is it just pregnancy?
Can we give up hundreds of billions of general currency?
If I give birth to a child, I’m afraid even the company won’t be able to reject it...’
that's all?
When they finish handing over information and are about to hang up?
Delico looked at his desk that had a hole hammered into it?
Added another sentence:
"Before the holiday, please remember to arrange for a few people to replace the desks in my office."
"?"
Although he didn't understand why Delico wanted to change that thing, the secretary still responded: "Okay."
Half an hour later, as Delico left.
Secretary and several desk installers?
He looked at the metal desk with a hole in front of him and fell into silence.
Did you make a rough estimate?
After causing marks on the desk and how powerful the attack would be, an installer couldn't help but ask:
"This is a table made of n-11 level metal material. It is usually used to build the outer defensive deck of space battleships. It can even block high-power electromagnetic guns..."
"Are you a weapons company? Is anyone testing new weapons here?"
Facing this problem?
After scratching his hair, the secretary could only helplessly spread his hands?
He indicated that he didn't know the situation either.

After arriving at your home.
Looking at his wife, Delico immediately stretched out his hand impatiently?
He touched the other person's belly that was not yet swollen.
That strange feeling that his bloodline had continued, made him feel extremely happy?
Empty life?
For the first time, I felt like I had a goal to strive for.
What does he want to give to his children?
The best of everything!
"What do you think this child should be called?"
Faced with this question from his wife, he replied without raising his head:
"I have to look through historical allusions. I have to give him the best name..."
And just when the two of them were discussing this issue.
Outside their house, a tall figure slowly appeared.
pull.
Through the power of psychic energy, it was determined that all the people in the house were pure-blooded humans.
The hostility gradually dropped.
The reason why he rushed over was because he happened to sense Delico when he used his spiritual energy.
He mistakenly thought that some kind of special creature had bypassed the isolation line of Orshiga and sneaked into the earth.
Sensing Delico's strong psychic aptitude, La made a decision after thinking for a while.
He planned to communicate with the other party for a while.
Because a guy without inheritance may cause huge trouble if he uses his psychic powers indiscriminately.
For example: attracting some very dangerous subspace creatures.
That is to say, the current human area has been isolated by Orshika. Otherwise, the trouble caused by psychics will definitely not be less.
Therefore, necessary warnings cannot be ignored.

Ten years later.
Delico's child pointed to the tourist scenery introduction picture on the e-book, looked at a certain beautiful colonial star with great excitement and said:
"Father, can we go to the planet Thalasa to play once?"
Faced with this request, Delico just glanced at the location of the planet and shook his head helplessly:
"The distance is a bit too far. With the current technology, it will take us at least twenty-two years to get there..."
Although the current human federation has a vast territory, various technologies have not kept up with the changes of the times.
Therefore, most of the time, due to the influence of various factors, each colonial star plays its own role.
When he heard the time, his son nodded in despair: "Okay..."
Seeing his disappointed look, Delico suddenly thought of a question.
According to the knowledge taught by his teacher, the area called subspace, although attached to the physical universe, is higher than the physical universe, and the time and space in it are chaotic and disorderly.
So can I use the particularity of subspace to achieve an effect similar to space travel?
