Wang Ping'an curled his lips: "Lessons and practical exercises are two different things. Okay, the rocket is about to be launched, let's go."
Angele also curled her lips.
The two carried their luggage and walked to the boarding hall one after another. When they passed a reunited family of three, they saluted the officer holding the child.
The officer was a little embarrassed, so he quickly moved the child to his left hand and returned the greeting to the two of them.

The flight time of the rocket was very short, and soon it arrived at the transfer station in an ultra-low orbit of 500 kilometers.
When docking, the high-power laser at the transfer station just started, and the neatly arranged phased array laser mirror array focused the green visible light laser on the space junk approaching the transfer station.
Wang Ping'an poked Angeli's arm: "Look, this is not a scene you see often. The space junk in low orbit has been almost cleaned up by middle school students."
Angele was stunned: "Are you referring to the space summer camp for middle school students organized by your children's palace? I heard that they will clean up space junk in low orbit."
"That's it. When we were young, we had to attend a certain summer camp at the Children's Palace and stay there for enough time, otherwise we would not get enough marks in the social practice class. I attended the low-orbit summer camp and drove an aircraft called a ball everywhere to catch space debris. Most of them
It was a spy satellite launched by Yankees in the pre-aerospace era.”
Angele's mouth opened wide. After a moment, she whispered: "I didn't have such a childhood. When I was a child, I had been studying the knowledge in textbooks and taking various tests, including the Chinese Test Band 6. My father has always followed me
He said that joining the United Space Force was a shortcut to entering your country, so my parents spent everything they had on it and even gave me money for hair genetic modification. They said people in your country like silver hair."
Wang Ping'an almost missed key information, almost.
He looked at the girl in surprise: "Wait a minute, you... only adjusted your hair, or did it happen the day after tomorrow?"
The girl nodded: "Yes, this hair cannot be passed down to the next generation."
"No, no, no, the point is, you only adjusted your hair? Your appearance is the top among adjusters...is it natural?"
The girl nodded again, then took out her glasses and put them on: "That's why I'm myopic. You all can't be myopic, right?"
"You won't be short-sighted, but you will have astigmatism...wait a minute! Are you still short-sighted? How did you pass the physical examination of the Space Force?"
"The Space Force is not the Air Force. Whether your eyes are good or not, you have to use the telescope on the spacecraft to see the spacecraft in the distance. Twenty years ago, the Space Force stopped testing eyesight - except for the position of pilot in the atmosphere.
"
Wang Pingan said "Oh", then grabbed the girl's shoulders, turned her upper body left and right, and looked at her wearing glasses from different angles.
Angele: "Is it novel?"
"Yeah, I've never seen anyone wearing glasses in my life."
Angele smiled bitterly: "It's quite common over there, because in your country, genetic modification is arranged by the Eugenics Committee, and we spend money there. Rich people are born stronger, smarter, and less likely to get sick.
.”
Wang Pingan patted the girl on the shoulder: "You are no longer there."
"Yes, I escaped."
At this time, the steward's voice came from the loudspeaker: "Passengers, please note that this plane is about to arrive at the terminal. Please take your luggage and prepare to get off the plane."

After getting off the rocket, Wang Pingan started the small propeller on the suitcase and was dragged by the suitcase to float along the long transfer channel.
Angele floated behind him and suddenly noticed that he was turning to look at the fully transparent porthole on the side, so she also turned to look.
"Torch Cruiser?" Angeli muttered quietly, "Are we going to transfer to this one later?"
"Ah?" Wang Ping'an was stunned, turned to Angeli, and blinked.
Angele: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not. This is a Torch Cruiser. It is equipped with a terawatt-level reactor and a deuterium-helium thruster. Its cruising acceleration can reach 80 milligals and its combat acceleration exceeds 5 milligals. Do you think this thing can be used to transport the two of us?"
Wang Ping'an announced a series of dish names that made Angeli stunned. She shrugged: "Why not?"
"Of course not. This should be here to pick up a certain general. That's the one we want to take!"
Wang Pingan pointed to the unprepossessing spaceship parked next to the slender Torch cruiser.
"The magnetic mirror confinement reactor and the tritium reflection thruster cannot walk on the torch string, so we can only climb slowly. It will take 5 weeks for those things to reach the Space Force fortress of Lagrange L2 on Earth. Do you understand? Five weeks! This is still the shortest route.
.The torch cruiser only needs to walk on the torch string to reach Sun-Earth L2, and it will be completed in one week."
Angele: "I also graduated from the Space Flight Academy, so I know this."
"Then the Space Flight Academy didn't tell you that the astronauts who have just taken a vacation have to complete recovery training on the way to the Earth-Sun Lagrange L2? You wouldn't think that after three months of vacation on the ground, it only takes a week to complete
Readjusting to space, right?”
Angele shrugged.
But she immediately discovered a blind spot: "Wait a minute, you've been on the ground for three months before you even think of going home?"
"If I had gone home from the beginning, my dad would have allowed me to participate in If You Are the One in these three months. He could have introduced me to a girl from the reinforcement group, and I would not have had any rest at all." Wang Ping'an seemed to be thinking of his old age again.
Dad kept nagging, and his whole body became weak.
Just then, his phone rang.
After arriving at Earth-Sun L2, personal communication will no longer be able to contact the earth. To contact family members, they must go through the communication system of the space station. At the L2 Fortress Space Station, the length of private calls is rationed. In order to allow Wang Ping'an to have more private
If you want to flirt with girls during the phone call, you would rather take the time to call in at this time.
Wang Pingan answered the phone and said angrily: "Hello? Who?"
"Who? Your dad! Hey, son, are you having sex? Foreign girls are very open-minded!"
Wang Ping'an: "Ah, Dad? Dad? Why is there no sound? Why is the signal so bad?"
"I'm just lying to your father! Son, what a rare opportunity this is. That girl is so beautiful and smart enough to join the space force. She must have spent a lot of money to adjust her genes!"
"They are different from us. We all have the same genes. Your father can only use work points to customize his appearance. Foreigners spend money to do it themselves, so every item must be out of specification!"
"Um," Wang Pingan glanced at Angeli, "Actually, she only customized her hair color."
"Damn it, can't you hear what dad said? I knew you were fooling dad! What did you just say?"
"Angele only had her hair customized, and the rest is all natural. It would be troublesome for me to marry her, and I would have to go to the Eugenics Commission to have her genes sequenced."
Wang Ping'an could feel his father's interest in Angeli plummeting across the phone: "Oh, what should I do? How about the girl from the dispatch bureau yesterday? My mother-in-law's attitude towards you has suddenly changed...
"
At this time, Angeli took out a toffee, peeled it open, ate it, and stuffed the candy wrapper to Wang Ping'an.
Wang Ping'an immediately understood what she meant, took the candy wrapper and started rubbing it on the microphone of his phone.
The candy wrapper made a sound like radio interference.
Wang Ping'an: "Hello? Dad? Why did it cut off again? Oh my, the signal today, I don't know if it's a solar flare or the influence of Axis' approach, it's really rubbish!"
Several Space Force sergeants passing by laughed, obviously they had all encountered similar situations.
Wang Ping'an ignored them and continued to play: "Dad? Dad? Hey, I'll hang up now. I'll call you in the allocated time when I get to the L2 space station. That one is stable!"
"Don't, you call the girl during your allocated private time! Don't!"
Wang Pingan hung up the phone.
He turned back to look at Angeli floating behind him, and raised the candy wrapper in his hand: "It's a good idea."
Angele: "I often deal with my dad like this too. But now it's easier. When he calls, I tell him that I'm partnered with a Chinese lieutenant, and the lieutenant is still unmarried. My dad will definitely just say "Come on" and hang up."
Wang Ping'an gasped.
I never thought that one day I, Wang Ping'an, would become someone else's excuse.
