From then until arriving at Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2, Wang Ping'an was a celebrity on the ship.
When he met people he didn't know at all while walking on the road, they would come up to him and say, "Remember to say hello to my eighty-generation grandson."
With Wang Ping'an's thick skin, he naturally nodded repeatedly: "Absolutely, if your 80th generation is a granddaughter, I will definitely help strengthen your family's genes. This is a pure gene from 800 years ago. Maybe at that time
This gene is considered a national treasure, I will let your family enjoy it!"
A few days after Qin Qiong woke up, the little African boy Wang Pingan rescued woke up, but seemed to have suffered severe psychological trauma and could not speak at all.
The sister who woke up first could not explain the details of the smuggling. After all, she was just a child. Although her Chinese was good, their father negotiated the smuggling matter with an English-speaking smuggler, so she could not understand it at all.
.
The only information my sister could provide was that there were nearly a hundred stowaways from Africa on board the spacecraft at the time.
According to the preliminary analysis of the recovered wreckage by the Brave Engineering Department, the stricken ship may have removed the backup computer system and supporting energy deployment system to install life support equipment.
After all, the Brave is just a cargo ship, which is used part-time to transport astronauts returning from vacation. Detailed investigations and other matters will have to be handed over to the more professional space military police after arriving at L2.
There were no further mishaps for the rest of the voyage of the Brave, and it finally arrived at the Space Force's space fortress in L2 four days later.

Before entering the port docking procedure, the restorative training teams of Wang Ping'an and Angeli gathered for the last time.
Because Qin Qiong was recuperating in the medical room, the deputy captain took his place and told everyone to stand up.
Major Li looked around the briefing room and said: "I don't like to talk nonsense. This voyage is not peaceful, but in the end it is the normal state of space. Each of you has encountered it more or less. Then return to your post.
, make use of this experience and disband.”
"stand up."
Everyone stood up and saluted the major.
The major returned the greeting seriously.
At this time, the porthole covers on the side of the briefing room opened one by one, revealing the deep starry sky.
Angeli exclaimed: "Wow..."
Wang Ping'an: "You've never been to l2, have you?"
"Our training is basically completed in Moon Earth L1. After all, the environment there is basically the same as here."
l is the abbreviation of Lagrangian point. The so-called Lagrangian point means the gravitational balance point. Sun-terrestrial l2 means the gravitational balance point between the sun and the earth. Lunar-terrestrial naturally refers to the equilibrium point between the earth and the moon.
That place used to be a strategic point. After all, the moon was the main producer of helium 3 at that time, which was the main fusion fuel for mankind at that time.
But now, with the iteration of technology, the importance of helium 3 has been greatly reduced.
After losing its strategic significance, it became the main business district of the Earth-Moon system, gathering a large number of space residences and resorts built by private capital, and most of the Space Force’s flight academies abroad in China put practical space courses on
Do it here.
The development of Earth-Moon L1 is basically dominated by economic laws. But Sun-Earth L2 is completely different. It could have been said to have no economic value, but after several five-year plans, as the forefront of the Space Management Committee's expansion to Mars, here
A complete industrial chain has been built.
Only then will private capital gather towards Sun and Earth L2.
Because of this, Angeli, who had only seen the scene of Earth-Moon L1, was immediately shocked when she saw the scene outside the porthole.
A newly captured asteroid is changing its orbit, and the airflow emitted by the engine installed on the back of the planet reflects the lights of the spaceport.
The Valiant passed by the asteroid in orbit. Several Space Force cruisers escorted the asteroid and easily passed the heavy Valiant.
A cruiser sent a light signal to the Brave.
Wang Pingan immediately read it: "I salute you for your brave rescue operation."
Angele raised her eyebrows: "I'm complimenting you."
"No, the praise is for all our crew members." Wang Ping'an said, "I just put in a little effort."
The buddy next to him immediately gave Wang Ping'an a slap in the face: "It's disgusting that you are so humble."
Angele was about to speak when she was suddenly attracted by a new scene.
Brave passed through a large group of asteroids that had entered orbit. The mining farms on the planets were brightly lit, and small mining machines danced like busy worker bees.
In order to provide minerals for the factories of Sun-Earth L2, the Space Force has a dedicated asteroid capture force. All asteroids that may intersect with the Earth's orbit have been basically captured in Sun-Earth L2.
With the improvement of Mars industry and the extinction of asteroids, the Production Planning Committee assessed that there will be problems with the supply of minerals to L2 from the Sun and Earth in about twenty years.
But it's still a lively scene here.
Angele looked at this scene and admired sincerely: "This... is so full of life. There has never been such a scene in Moon Earth L1."
Wang Ping'an smiled: "After all, this is the forefront of the five-year plan, and you will gradually get used to it."
"You sound very proud?" Angele said somewhat unexpectedly.
"certainly."
At this time, the Brave entered the inbound route.
At the same time, a cargo ship was leaving the port, and the anti-collision lights outlining the outline of the ship flashed rhythmically.
Suddenly, the cargo ship started to flash a light signal: "Salute to you for your brave rescue."
Angele: "Why do you use lights to signal?"
"There is no need to occupy the communication frequency. This is Sun-Earth L2 after all, and all frequencies are very busy. The reply from the Brave should also be a light signal, but we can't see it."
Angele: "You actually explained it seriously. I thought you would say this is romantic or something."
"You actually know that I find this very romantic. It seems that you are getting to know me better and better."
At this time, Brave began to brake. The relative speed of the spacecraft and the space station had already been reduced to almost the speed of a human walking, so the spacecraft "stopped" with only one gentle injection.
The voice of Colonel Gu Changhe came from the ship's broadcast: "I am Captain Gu Changhe. Although there were some episodes in this voyage mission, it was still successfully completed. Please leave the ship in an orderly manner. Welcome back to the last frontier of mankind.
"

The brigade instructor looked at the computer screen in front of him.
On the screen is a document recommending Wang Ping'an for the Centaur project.
After thinking for a long time, the instructor wrote in the personal evaluation at the end of the report: "Although Lieutenant Wang Ping'an has many flaws in his character, as a professional master of psychology, I think he is extremely firm in his ideal of opening up space for human activities.
He has an unparalleled sincerity.
"I think his joining will do more good than harm to the Centaur project. The light of his ideals may become a beacon that illuminates the long voyage."
After finishing writing, the instructor presses send.
Within seconds, the reply came.
"Not adopted."
The instructor sighed and muttered: "I can't help you. I can only see whether the supercomputer's advice is reliable."
