Liu Peiqiang was lying on the single bed, quietly in a daze.
Only when the sun's rays from the aviation window 700 million kilometers away crossed his face again did he reveal a smile.
He sat up from the bed, his shaved beard and clean haircut made him look particularly energetic.
He picked up a marker and drew a circle on the glass of the hatch window facing Jupiter.
After putting on the simultaneous interpretation headphones, when he turned around and prepared to get out of bed, Makarov reached out and handed over a glass bottle.
"Happy retirement, buddy! Hehehehe~"
Makarov's awkward Chinese pronunciation made Liu Peiqiang smile slightly.
Reaching out to take the bottle, he opened the bottle curiously and smelled it.
The pungent smell of alcohol rushed straight into his nose, causing Liu Peiqiang to shake his head and said with a smile.
"I'm retiring soon, and I don't want to lose my insurance in my later years. But if you give it to me, I will accept it and give it to my son when the time comes. It will be treated as a gift~"
Makarov next to him heard Liu Peiqiang's words and couldn't help but say.
"If Gagarin's generation knew that you had brought back the vodka he had worked so hard to bring from Blue Star, I think he would fight you tooth and nail!"
Makarov is a native of White Bear Country, and he speaks fluent White Mandarin. However, under the simultaneous interpretation headphones, he was translated in real time into the Chinese he is familiar with. Even the tone and accent did not change, as if he was Makarov.
Love learned Chinese generally.
And similarly, in Makarov's ears, Liu Peiqiang just spoke fluent Bai Mao Mandarin. The two of them spoke different languages, but they could communicate without any hindrance.
"And, your son, to be honest, I really envy you. Not only can you retire safely, but your genius son is highly respected by scientists in our White Bear Country. Look!"
Makarov pointed at the Youlong series Fuxi armor hanging on the wall.
"Did you hear that this series of armors was a birthday gift he gave you?"
"Thanks to you, now that we have these Dragon Warrior armors, we can go out to do maintenance work. It's like an outing."
As he spoke, Makarov bumped into Liu Peiqiang, who was getting dressed, and continued speaking to Liu Peiqiang in Chinese with an erratic accent.
"Is this what you Chinese say, a tiger father has no dog son?"
Liu Peiqiang put the bottle of vodka into the cabinet.
In fact, he accepted the bottle of wine because he knew that if the wine was returned, Makarov, an alcoholic, would definitely not be able to help but secretly take a few sips while working. For his safety and the safety of the space station, he planned to accept a bottle of wine.
A bottle is a bottle.
Hearing Makarov praise Liu Qi, he smiled heartily, turned around and punched Makarov, and then said.
"Then just wait until you retire in three years and go get one yourself!"
"Oh, no, Qiang! You know me, the only thing I can live with for the rest of my life is whiskey! Oh~ praise the whiskey!
"
Makarov issued a single declaration.
Indeed, for this drunkard, whiskey is his wife, and this sentence is correct.
Liu Peiqiang shook his head, too lazy to talk about this drunkard, and turned around to go out.
"Are we going to enter the orbit of Jupiter today?"
"Yes, we have made preparation requirements for the No. 3 emergency plan."
"I always feel uneasy"
"There is no way. We have to use Jupiter's gravity to accelerate the blue star out of the solar system. We must take this risk."
"Qiang, don't worry, God will bless us"
"In our place, we have to pray to the Bodhisattva"
"Humph, it's the same anyway. Once you pass this hurdle, you can retire safely."
"Stop! Don't set a flag on me, just let me go!"
"Hmm hum hum~"
This is Makarov's cheerful laughter.
After arriving at his post, the engineer who replaced him was waiting here.
"Morning!"
After Liu Peiqiang said hello to him, he inserted his ID badge into the punch hole of his post.
"Ding~ Check in successfully"
Then, he took the new engineer and Makarov to start daily inspections.
During the inspection, he carefully explained the key points of the inspection work to the new engineer.
In fact, this engineer has been working on the space station for five or six years, and he generally understands these things. However, the handover procedure still needs to be completed normally.
"This is the last item of the daily routine inspection. I have also told you some important parameters of concern. Are there any questions?"
When Liu Peiqiang returned to his post again, it was already two hours later.
"there is none left"
Chen Wei nodded and said that he had memorized everything.
"Then let's make a handover."
Liu Peiqiang smiled.
In the past ten years, although his contact with his family has become less and less, he feels much happier than he did in the first two years.
After opening up the knot with his family, he has endless motivation every day on the space station, just to retire early and go back to see his family.
not to mention.
Liu Peiqiang saw the dragon armor passing by outside the hatch window.
Just like Liu Qi said, he has always been by my side.
After taking a final look at the ID tag, Liu Peiqiang locked it in the card swiping area, operated the system, and turned on the permission transfer.
"The handover process for Liu Peiqiang's departure is in progress. Please verify the identity of the person changing the post..."
Liu Peiqiang took out his identity card and gave up his position.
Chen Wei didn't need him to remind him, he just stepped forward and put his ID card in the card swiping area.
"Confirmation of identity of changing personnel, Lieutenant Chen Wei, hello, please confirm whether the handover procedure for leaving the post is normal?"
"yes"
"Please make sure you are familiar with the job functions?"
"Sure"
"Is there a formal job handover?"
"yes!"
"The changing of the guard procedure is starting...Hello, Lieutenant Chen Wei, your position information has been updated, please leave the post for the final handover!"
After the job change process was completed, Chen Wei withdrew his ID card and nodded to Liu Peiqiang.
Seeing that the changing of the guard process was over, Liu Peiqiang felt as if a certain burden he had been carrying on his back suddenly disappeared, and a relaxed and happy feeling spread throughout his body.
He stepped forward again and locked in his identity. This time he didn't need to confirm it. The final resignation procedures were already being carried out automatically.
"The handover procedure for Liu Peiqiang's departure has been completed!"
"Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang"
"As of today, you have been dormant for a total of twelve years and three days, and you have been on duty for a total of five years and fourteen days. Thank you for your hard work over the past seventeen years."
"Congratulations, you can leave your post and go home tomorrow."
After hearing these last words, Liu Peiqiang took a deep breath.
Seventeen years, two years of surface training and simulation, and fifteen years of working in space. In order to protect the blue planet in front of me, I persisted for seventeen years!
Now, I can finally retire...
As Liu Peiqiang's handover was completed, surrounding colleagues and staff passing by gave him applause.
Everyone had a blessing smile on their faces.
Liu Peiqiang turned around, stopped his posture, and gave a military salute to the people around him in response.
"Brother, we will meet in Blue Star three years later. Go back and spend time with your son. After all these years we have only been able to have video calls, it's time for a hug!"
Liu Peiqiang's face was full of emotion. Looking at the colleague who had been getting along day and night for nearly ten years, he felt a sense of reluctance in his heart. The expression he showed was naturally extremely complicated.
Without needing too many words or actions, Makarov nodded, turned around and embraced Chen Wei, who was familiarizing himself with the parameters, and said calmly.
"Hey, brother, you have to hang out with me for the next three years~"
Taking a deep breath, Liu Peiqiang calmed down his emotions, then turned his head and looked at the hatch window.
The familiar blue planet is sailing in the vast universe.
What is carried on the planet is all his spiritual sustenance for the past fifteen years. Now, he can finally return to this familiar planet...
It is different from Liu Peiqiang’s relaxed mood when he left his post.
At this time, in the main command room of the space station, Moss's most powerful terminal computer was standing inside the space station.
The entire main command room is composed of a sector space close to a quarter of the space station. At the center of the space station, it forms an important axis center component, which is the Moss computer body.
On the side of the command room, just one of its ports is connected to the room.
The entire space station simulates the gravitational effect of the Blue Star through centrifugal rotation, allowing people in the space station to walk freely as if they were on the Blue Star.
At this time, in the main command room, more than a dozen top engineers and scientists were staring at Moss's statistics on the Blue Star's overall propulsion speed, its forward angle, and its orbital entry point with Jupiter.
On the screen, each dense set of data is monitored 24 hours a day by dedicated engineers in other analysis rooms to ensure that the blue star cannot be disclosed when it enters Jupiter's gravity.
Although according to Moss's deduction, this plan has a success rate of more than 90%.
But no matter what, no one can guarantee that this kind of thing will be 100% possible, so Liu Peiqiang is just as worried about this plan.
Everyone in the main command room was not worried about this "Jupiter orbit cut-in". Everyone was working hard and staring at the data, for fear of making any mistakes.
But the good news is that everything is normal now.
The bad news is that something is starting to go wrong.
The first problem occurred not with Jupiter, but with Blue Star.
Perhaps because of its proximity to Jupiter's gravitational orbit, the first thing to be affected by the tidal and gravitational effects caused by Jupiter's gravity is the blue star.
After all, although the density of the earth is several times higher than that of Jupiter, Jupiter is much larger than the blue star, according to Einstein's theory of relativity.
The gravity of all stars comes from the distortion of space-time caused by the stars on the plane of space-time.
The larger the volume, the higher the density, the greater the amount of distortion, and the stronger the gravity.
Therefore, even before it has completely entered the orbit of Jupiter, the surface of the blue star has already begun to be affected.
The entire Blue Star, with its 10,000 planetary engines, is built on the continental shelf.
But no matter what, this establishment is also on the surface of Blue Star.
Scientists have done various deductions before, and Moss has also rehearsed countless times, and they have confirmed that the continental shelves under these planetary engines will not have much impact due to the gravity of Mars.
After all, if there is really a problem, wouldn't it be asking for death if Blue Star uses Jupiter to perform a slingshot jump?
The United Nations scientists had done countless preparations and deductions for this moment before they dared to take this path.
Although, it is impossible not to take this path. Without the acceleration of Jupiter, the Blue Star cannot escape from the solar system smoothly. In the end, when the sun is destroyed, it will still be unable to escape death.
But sometimes, the so-called man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation.
Scientists have calculated all possibilities, but some things are destined.
"Crustal movement has been detected and the northern and southern continental shelves are experiencing strong earthquakes! The planetary engine is operating abnormally and the cutting direction has shifted!
!”
Just when the Blue Star was about to cut into the orbit of Jupiter and start ejecting from the gravitational orbit in a kind of side-kick, the entire Blue Star seemed to suddenly sneeze, and the surface that had long been frozen into glaciers shook.
Under it, they cracked one after another, and the unfrozen seawater in the deep sea spurted out, and then was quickly frozen by the low temperature again.
Under the surface, all radios are broadcasting Moss's emergency announcement.
"Please pay attention! Please pay attention! The underground city is currently experiencing a strong earthquake, with a magnitude of 7. The earthquake is in danger of escalating. Please take emergency shelter for underground residents!"
"Please pay attention! Please pay attention!"
"Brother Qi, Sister Xin! What happened?"
Chen Yun, who was flying in the test space with Yuan Xin in high spirits, was flying when suddenly, the white clouds in the sky began to flicker.
A piece of skin suddenly fell under the blue sky.
In the originally clear sky, as if a hole had been cut out, a square black hole appeared.
And this is just the beginning.
Next, Liu Qi and the others watched the projection cortex in the sky falling continuously.
The originally pleasant clear sky seemed to be crushed to pieces by someone's hands at this moment.
They quickly landed on the ground, and once they landed on the ground, they discovered that the three of them were flying in the air through propellers and could not feel anything. But as soon as they landed, the violent earthquake immediately made them understand what happened.
"earthquake!"
Yuan Xin, a member of the mobile team, immediately raised her arm and saw an arm armor on her arm slide open, revealing the curved screen inside.
"Nuwa, analyze the source and magnitude of the earthquake!"
"Connecting to the Moss database. According to the database display, this earthquake is global. The source is from the center of the earth. There is no early warning. The earthquake level has risen to level 2. Parts of the underground city have collapsed. Please call the mobile team in time.
rescue!"
Yuan Xin's Civet Armor is equipped with Mobile Team's exclusive platform, so it has the function of directly using Moss to identify and analyze danger sources, and it also has an alarm integration system.
After analyzing the source and magnitude of the earthquake, Yuan Xin's display screen densely displayed various rescue information, which made Yuan Xin take a few breaths.
"What the hell is going on?"
At this moment, the magnitude of the earthquake was getting bigger and bigger, and the entire test space was faintly falling apart.
Fortunately, the three of them, Liu Qi and others, were all wearing battle armor and could basically avoid the equipment and components that fell due to the earthquake in the test space.
The balance system of the armor allowed the three of them to barely move on the shaky ground without falling.
Even if you don't dodge for a while and are hit in the body, it will be bounced away by the armor's exoskeleton defense, and the life super-dimensional technology will absorb the shock and reduce the damage.
"Quick! Contact Uncle Yu!
!”
At this time, the only person they could think of was Fang Yu.
Yuan Xin shouted loudly in the audio without hesitation.
Several people sent communication requests to Fang Yu.
Unexpectedly, after the initiation, the information returned by either Nuwa or Fuxi was.
"Sorry, your communication signal has been interrupted and cannot be contacted."
Liu Qi knew immediately that the earthquake probably destroyed the underground city's communication network.
Emergency communication is an emergency program installed by Liu Qi in the armor. Once there is a problem with the communication in the dungeon, he can open more advanced communication through permissions, relay information through the pilot space station in outer space orbit, and use high-frequency
Rays can achieve global barrier-free communication.
Soon, Liu Qi's order passed and communication was opened again
