Li Zhanxiong is wearing a cotton-padded jacket and sleeping on the sofa in the underground command center office under two quilts. He has not slept well for more than 30 days in a row. The hard work in recent days has exhausted his energy and his body has fallen into extreme
I was so exhausted that I fell asleep for more than ten hours.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a bang, and the guard rushed in shouting: "Chief, the sun is coming out! The sun is coming out!"
Li Zhanxiong was awakened by the shout and sat up suddenly, his head buzzing. He didn't hear clearly what the guard was shouting just now, and his instinctive reaction was that something major had happened in the underground base.
"What happened?" he asked eagerly.
The guard looked like weeping with joy and stammered: "The sun, it's the sun... the sun is coming out... it's dawn! General, it's dawn!"
"The sun is out?!" Li Zhanxiong was very surprised. He simply couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes! We can see the sun again!" the guard said, unable to hold back any longer, tears bursting from his eyes. "Go out and take a look!"
Li Zhanxiong quickly put on his boots and coat and rushed out of the office.
The various passages in the underground city were crowded with people, including soldiers, people, the elderly, and children. They were hugging each other, jumping, and reveling. Important announcements were being played repeatedly on the loudspeaker:
"The 'super solar eclipse' phenomenon has disappeared, and the earth has regained sunlight. Since the ground temperature has not yet warmed up, everyone is asked to obey the instructions, stay in their designated areas for the time being, maintain order, do not move, and do not leave the underground city at will...
"
Li Zhanxiong took the elevator to the ground with a group of people, and was immediately blinded by the bright light. The entourage quickly took out the sunglasses and handed them to him and distributed them to everyone. After Li Zhanxiong put on the sunglasses, he opened his eyes again and looked towards the east.
The golden sun rises slowly in the sky, with mixed feelings and tears in my eyes...
He suddenly thought of something and asked the people around him: "Is there any news about the 'Zhurong Hao'?"
"No. I still can't contact you at the moment."
Li Zhanxiong glanced at the base
... We must try to find the 'Zhurong Hao' and find Gao Tianjun and Yan Shaojun! I really hope they are still there... I hope they can come back!"
Cao Ziming got up early as usual, put on a thick sweater and down jacket and prepared to go out. In the past few days, people in the volunteer service team have been tired and sick, and the work of delivering daily necessities has become more and more arduous.
Just when he was about to go out, he suddenly noticed something strange - the curtains were no longer as dark as before, but light showed through!
He rushed over and opened the curtains. The azure sky and continuous white clouds appeared like a dream. The glass curtain walls of the tall buildings in the distance were reflecting the dazzling rays of the sun! Nanbin City showed its former appearance again...
"The sun! It's the sun!" Cao Ziming shouted. He ecstatically pulled Qiqi and Huanhuan out of bed, opened all the curtains in all rooms, and then the family lay on the windowsill, enjoying the long-awaited
of sunshine...
There was still a thick layer of ice on the streets, and there were still very few vehicles, but every car honked their horns, and the whistles sounded from near to far, one after another, making a sound...
Cao Ziming looked at his wife, then at his daughter, stretched out his arms and held them tightly in his arms...
In Times Square in New York City, the Thames River in the United Kingdom, and Charles de Gaulle Square in Paris, France, countless people have begun to pour into the streets, facing the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, holding various celebration activities as they please...
The United Nations UNISDR authorized media from all over the world to solemnly declare to all mankind in multiple languages at the same time: After observations by NASA, CNSA and ESA, it was confirmed that the extrasolar "cloud body" that has brought a major existential crisis to the earth and human civilization has now
Has completely disappeared from the solar system!
A few hours later, major TV stations around the world publicly released a set of pictures taken by China's "Xingkong 1" space telescope——
On the background of the bright Milky Way and the dark starry sky, a straight white "filament" with a length of almost 6 light-years appeared in the space, pointing directly in the direction of the constellation Cygnus... Many years ago, some astronomers also passed through the Webb Space
Telescopes have observed such "thin filaments" in the deep space of the universe, and they still haven't figured out what they are; however, humans should know the answer to today's "thin filaments"!
The "Zhurong", carrying the "Summer Solstice" probe and the "Planet Guardian" spacecraft, took off from the ice sheet of Enceladus. They will first fly to the northern hemisphere of Saturn to meet the "Gagarin" waiting there.
"Let's get together and embark on the return journey together.
The two spaceships "Express 1" and "New Enterprise" disappeared forever!
After the three spacecrafts merged, they began to orbit Saturn. The astronauts should use this method to pay tribute to Deng Kai, Ai Wenbo and all the crew members on the "New Enterprise" who have made sacrifices for mankind.
Way to bid farewell to humanity's greatest and most sacred "Amazon Butterfly" adventure...
Yan Shaojun sat in his seat, staring at the huge Saturn outside the porthole, feeling extremely sentimental in his heart.
The light and dark sides of the planet and part of its rings were presented in front of her, beautiful and beautiful...
Aisen and Ding Yushi sat side by side, their hands holding each other quietly, like a pair of inseparable first lovers. Aisen tried to tell her with his mind: After returning to Earth, I will formally propose to you.
! He immediately felt her hand tremble, and then received her mental reply: I will wait!
Gao Tianjun noticed their little movements, smiled slightly, and turned his attention to Yan Shaojun in front. He knew that she was under tremendous mental pressure at the moment. She had to endure the grief of losing Deng Kai and command the "Zhurong Hao" and other
The spacecraft returned safely.
"Take good care of Young Master!" Gao Tianjun remembered Deng Kai's request to him before leaving...
"There is an unknown object accompanying the 'Zhurong'!" Zhang Nan reported, feeling nervous again. "On our port side, 50 meters away... That thing is very small, and it seems to be dragging its tail..."
Everyone turned their attention to the left porthole. Since the spacecraft was still orbiting Saturn, the porthole was filled with reflections from the planet and rings, making it difficult to see other tiny objects.
"The little thing is still dragging its tail?... Could it be life?" Ding Yushi asked.
"Enlarge the picture to the maximum! See what it is?" Yan Shaojun suddenly had some premonition, her heartbeat began to accelerate, and her eyes became moist...
After the picture was enlarged, Yan Shaojun finally saw clearly that it was a pure white ring - it was the safety button she gave to Deng Kai, and the "tail" trailing behind was knitted by her own hands.
Red lanyard!
"Safe buckle! This is Deng Kai's safety buckle!...Deng Kai must have left it here!" Yan Shaojun burst into tears.
"Do you want to take it back?" Zhang Nan asked.
"No need. This is Deng Kai's wish! He wants this safety buckle to stay here and protect the safety of mankind and the solar system on his behalf..." Yan Shaojun murmured to himself.
She stared at the image of the safety buckle, looked at it silently for a while, then wiped her tears and gave the order: "'Zhurong', sail to the earth and return!"
The three spacecrafts "Zhurong", "Gagarin" and "Planet Guardian" all drew a perfect arc over Saturn, changed their course, and flew towards the distant blue mother star...
The safety buckle left by Deng Kai will continue to accompany Saturn in this space to guard the earth...
It has become an eternal carrier in the solar system that confirms the glorious information of human civilization. At the same time, it will also become an "interstellar milestone" with the most sacred dignity despite being small in the universe!
