Zhang Yuan encountered an old acquaintance in the office, Mr. John Wilson, who was the pessimistic scientist among the nuclear fusion engine researchers.
John had awakened two months earlier than him and seemed to be crushed by the bleak reality. He merely greeted Zhang Yuan and then sat at his desk all day long, staring blankly into space, with no one knowing what he was thinking about.

Fortunately, the decision-makers had anticipated this situation and made certain arrangements when establishing hibernation policies.
