Space City, "Quest for the Stars Project" command center.
Every aerospace project has its mission code and name. This time the Wenxing spacecraft passed through the wormhole and headed towards the Blue Star, the code name was naturally the "Wenxing Project".
Ye Ming stood behind the command podium and once again served as the commander-in-chief of the time travel plan.
It's just that at this time, he was not in command, but everyone was watching the picture immediately transmitted back from the Wenxing on the big screen - to be precise, it was the captain Zheng Guoqiang who took the entire spacecraft except him.
Seventeen heads of various departments and teams spoke solemnly in front of the camera.
"...During the long space voyage, we saw with our own eyes that our blue home gradually became smaller and smaller until it disappeared into the vast night sky."
"As time goes by, our yearning for our homeland is increasing day by day. This is an innate human sensibility that cannot be eliminated even under long-distance communication."
"But we have never regretted it, because we know that what the Star Questioner bears is not an individual's destiny and responsibility, but the entire Star Questioner project, the entire country, and the yearning and expectation of all mankind."
"From ancient times to the present, the dream that mankind has long cherished will be realized at this moment..."
…
Ye Ming supported the podium with both hands, his expression on his face was as usual, even his eyes were calm - or in other words, his whole body exuded a strong sense of confidence.
This confidence involuntarily comforted everyone in the command center.
When he heard Captain Zheng finish reading the manuscript, Ye Ming exhaled without leaving any trace, and his pupils shrank slightly - but no one noticed.
Logically speaking, since the mission has not yet been successful, such an announcement to the entire society and all mankind should not be issued.
but……
Everyone knows that the dangerous consequences of crossing the wormhole this time are absolutely unimaginable and unacceptable.
According to the current level of human spaceflight, if a danger occurs in the solar system, as long as there is no problem with the life-support module, the rescue can definitely be completed - at least there is the possibility of trying.
Even if something goes wrong in space, as long as the spacecraft doesn't explode completely, you can still get something back.
But the trip to Blue Star is different.
Once danger occurs, especially when crossing a wormhole, everything will be powerless.
In addition...if you go here to ask the star, you are heading towards danger.
Therefore, it is reasonable and necessary to ask the star to leave the most precious declaration to mankind - that is, if danger occurs, mankind will not lose the hope and confidence of courage.
All the leaders of Yaoyuehao stood together and took the most perfect group photo.
Later, Captain Zheng regained his serious expression: "Xichang, this is the Wenxingxing, preparing to carry out a crossing mission."
"Xichang received it and allowed execution."
"receive."
Captain Zheng gave an order, and the No. 18 people in the command cabin immediately dispersed and began to return to their seats.
…
Cafe on the fifth floor of the Brain Computer Center.
The cafe, which had not been crowded ten minutes ago, was now overcrowded.
Everyone was watching the TV screen and chatting quietly.
On the screen, a crew member from Russia was playing a short "summary" in his native language - since it was broadcast live to the whole world, every crew member who asked about the Star would show up.
"Xiao Qi." Chen Yun looked away from the screen and gently touched the paint and ink.
"Hmm... I don't know, it should be possible." Qi and Mo looked at the worry that could not be hidden in Chen Yun's eyes, and they knew in their hearts what the other was worried about.
The Inquiry Star has traveled billions of kilometers to the Earth, with a one-way journey of four months. It is the farthest place that humans have ever reached - if we want to use an analogy in the solar system, it has reached Neptune.
With such a distance, even if there is long-distance communication and face-to-face conversations every day, it cannot offset the deep-rooted fear of separation in human beings.
Chen Yun came here so early today, obviously worried about Zhou Xiangnan.
"Then..." Chen Yun hesitated, and took a deep breath after a moment: "Can you adjust the command module screen of the Star?"
"Uh..." Qi and Mo were suddenly in a dilemma.
As an executive of JiZhi Technology and one of the persons in charge of Aita's authority, she can definitely adjust the screen, but... she has not been authorized.
"I just want to see how Lao Zhou and Mushroom are doing." Upon seeing this, Chen Yun immediately lowered her voice and said, "I'm wearing virtual glasses, do you think I can share them?"
Qi Yumo frowned slightly, and then she saw everyone present looking at her. She pursed her lips, made a wait gesture to everyone, then stood up and walked to the door.
As she walked, she took out her mobile phone, but stopped when she was about to dial.
——If the guess is correct, Ye Ming should be communicating with the command center now and preparing to travel through the wormhole in the best possible manner.
If you call at this time, he will definitely not be able to answer the call, and he will definitely not be able to make the call.
After thinking about it, she changed her number and dialed Director Niu directly.
After a while, the call was connected.
Without any consideration, Director Niu authorized her to access the video in the command cabin in real time.
…
Ask the Star command module.
Mo Gu was sitting in the second seat, with his seatbelts fastened all over his body.
She stared closely at the big screen in front of her, and the hull camera faithfully transmitted back everything she saw.
On the screen, the large-scale high-dimensional space membrane generators modified by the six Wenxing ships have all turned on. From a distance, they look like a tunnel entrance full of marks.
Ye Ming's voice still kept ringing.
"The distance to proofreading is three hundred kilometers."
"Proofreading completed, three hundred kilometers."
"Angle correction."
"The angle calibration is completed, the deviation is 15 degrees, and it will be adjusted in 60 seconds."
"Main engine status check."
"The main engine has been shut down."
"Energy storage system inspection."
"98% of the energy storage system meets the startup energy of high-dimensional space membranes."
During the communication, Ye Ming's voice paused for a moment: "Captain Zheng, the energy storage system is a top priority, especially the temperature. You must pay attention to it."
"Please rest assured that there are personnel staying behind, everything is currently in normal condition, and the liquid nitrogen is ready."
"Um...Aita."
Aita's voice sounded in the command module: "I'm here."
"Execute the crossing plan."
"Received, start time synchronization..."
As Aita's voice fell, oxygen masks began to fall from the top of each seat in the command module.
Mo Gu put on his mask, listened to the instructions coming from his ears, slowly began to lie down on the seat that had been put down, and then closed his eyes.
Time passed minute by minute.
When she heard the shipboard computer start counting down, she immediately opened her eyes and looked at the big screen with the corner of her eyes.
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1……"
The last sound seemed extremely long and fleeting.
On the monitor, there was a sudden flash of light, and a bright starry sky appeared in front of me.
