You Gege, who was participating in the completion ceremony of the Explorer 5 project at Xinghan International Aeronautics and Space Administration in the Western Pacific, received an encrypted message from Zhang Fengyu.
The content is very brief, roughly describing all the experiences from Zhang Fengyu’s arrival on Tianye 19 to the present.
Yougege caught a few key points after just one glance.
Three people died, the Kuafu No. 3 project was delayed, and the other party was deliberately demonstrating.
All these signs indicate that Zhang Fengyu cannot hold on any longer.
After reading the message, Yougege destroyed it directly.
Turning around and leaving the ceremony, You Gege found Shang Junxiao who was having a heated argument with two old men in the command center of the General Administration. The two looked slovenly, but they were the only two people who had made great achievements in the Xinghan International Aerospace Center.
The leading figures in aerospace science are Fang Panzheng, an 87-year-old leader in the field of baryonic distortion from China, and Wilson, a 79-year-old aerospace vehicle structural engineer from South Africa.
·Fazan.
These two people have been protected as treasures by the Xinghan International Aeronautics and Space Administration since the "Sun Disappearance" disaster struck. It is really helpless to show up at the command center of the General Administration now.
Originally, according to the plan formulated by the Xinghan International Aeronautics and Space Administration R&D Conference, the center would deploy and execute seven "solar" exploration plans within ten years after the "disappearance of the sun".
But as of now, Explorer 5 has just been assembled on the ground. As for when it will be launched and who will carry out the Explorer project, it is still unknown. Fang Panzheng and Wilson have discussed and negotiated with Shang Junxiao on this issue many times before.
, but since the "sun disappeared", bad things have continued to happen all over the world.
First, the Pacific Rim nuclear power system was attacked, and not long after, there was another incident in Xiongan. Now Africa and the Americas are finished, but Europe, where there is no war, is indeed the most severely damaged area.
The First Central Axis, which was already affected by the "Disappearance of the Sun" and was unable to operate the global information database linkage deployment system, also encountered a major crisis. Therefore, the energy, manpower and material resources that actually fell on the "Disappearance of the Sun" exploration plan were greatly limited.
.
"What kind of No. 5 is this? Isn't it just that No. 4 has changed its shell?! Shang Junxiao, Shang Junxiao! You just fooled me like this!" Mr. Fang was so angry that he held a bunch of crumpled things in his hand.
The drawings he made were constantly criticized to Shang Junxiao.
Shang Junxiao was also helpless.
Explorer 5 is a phased exploration plan prepared by Xinghan International Aeronautics and Space Administration, so the design and manufacturing of the exploration spacecraft are particularly important. However, due to changes in international resources and self-rescue plans, many countries no longer look forward to Xinghan.
If the International Aeronautics and Space Administration can find out the truth behind the disappearance of the "sun", it is naturally unwilling to invest more manpower and material resources in the bottomless pit of the Explorer project.
Changing the shell of No. 4 to No. 5 can almost be said to be a helpless result under special circumstances.
Opinions on this matter have been solicited at the conference before.
So when Shang Junxiao heard Mr. Fang questioning him about this matter again, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Professor Fang! You have known about this for a long time! It was you who said that according to the current exploration progress, you should choose a more radical design.
On the contrary, the plan may not be conducive to the deployment and development of the exploration plan. It is better to make timely changes, continue to improve on the blueprint of the No. 4 Explorer spacecraft, and move up the stairs. Why do you come to question me again today?"
Professor Fang does not have Alzheimer’s disease, and he remembers clearly who made the final decision!
So he simply broke out and yelled: "You fart! Do you know that agreeing with me means the same thing? I asked you to choose a more conservative plan and let you choose the backup plan of Spaceship No. 5, but what about you? A group of people who don't
Politicians who understand science sit together and decide what happens in the scientific world! What? Can you do whatever you want with your money and efforts? Then why not just stop doing it and let everyone go back and sleep with their wives in their arms!"
Shang Junxiao had no temper at all after being scolded, so he smiled bitterly and sighed.
Wilson was not as angry as Professor Fang. He frowned and said: "Mr. Shang, we can understand the delay of the original plan, but now is a critical moment. If Explorer 5 is like this, it is better not to build it at all.
, just stay on the ground as a simulated spacecraft to integrate research projects. We can compromise on this, but... if there is still no plan for No. 5 within three years, then we may have to reconsider our attitude towards the first central axis.
, maybe your inactivity is also a good reason for us to choose to withdraw."
When Shang Junxiao heard this, he didn't want to explain anymore. He knew that these scientific people were stubborn and liked to get into trouble. Instead of reasoning with them, it would be better to come up with some more practical data to make it more intuitive.
He waved his hands: "Okay, you two, I understand, people, supplies, and Explorer 5. I have all written them down. I will resubmit the report, and will also convey your opinions and suggestions, and try my best to
To bring this matter to a successful conclusion, so please don’t be angry for the time being and go back to the experimental headquarters first. After all, the analysis of data No. 4 is still being carried out there. Without you two in charge, I’m afraid I’ll miss something crucial.”
Fang Panzheng and Wilson finally smiled after hearing such words.
After seeing the two of them off, Shang Junxiao left and came to You Gege's side.
Seeing You Gege seeming to smile but not smiling, Shang Junxiao, who was miserable, complained for the first time: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have fought for this position."
Yougege looked at him and said: "The matter is now over, and there is no better candidate. You, just carry it well."
Shang Junxiao smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's right..."
"Something happened on Tianye No. 19." You Gege said.
Shang Junxiao's face changed slightly when he heard this: "Have you jumped over the wall in a hurry? Or is the 'Kuafu No. 3' plan blocked?"
"Both." Yougege didn't say anything. She pondered for a moment and said, "I need a special force. You can arrange it."
Shang Junxiao finally showed his shock when he heard this, but he also knew that You Gege would not give him such an order casually.
"Okay, how long?"
"We will assemble within one day and strive to arrive at Tianye No. 19 shelter in three days."
Shang Junxiao frowned, seeming a little embarrassed.
Yougege looked at him and said, "Is there any obstacle?"
Shang Junxiao said: "The attitude of the Su family is not clear yet. If we mobilize urgently now, will they take advantage of it?"
You Gege said calmly: "I already understand what Su Che means. Not only is their family not a hindrance, but it is also very likely to be a support, so... you can just go ahead and do it."
Shang Junxiao was slightly surprised, but still nodded: "Okay, I understand."
…
At the same time in Tianye No. 19 shelter.
Yin Shangyuan's suicide did not cause much shock due to the information blockade, especially since Minister Yin rarely appeared in public, so production and life in the shelter went as usual.
But for Long Xingdong, Yan Peizhong and Fang Yuanlei, Yin Shangyuan's death revealed the dangerous atmosphere of the approaching storm.
At about 9 o'clock in the morning that day, Yan Peizhong, who had just returned from the investigation team, bumped into Fang Yuanlei, who was in a hurry and leading a group of armed policemen out.
After asking, I found out that the water cooling device of the internal circulation system on the bottom floor of Tianye No. 19 had an abnormality a week ago, but after reporting it, Zhang Yupeng kept suppressing it and did not report it to Yin Shangyuan.
As a result, the water cooling device was completely scrapped last night, and the comprehensive treatment device that maintains the natural ecological cycle of the algae cultivation area inside Tianye No. 19 was forced to stop working. For a while, the residents near the cultivation area were panicked. After all, these cultivation areas are related to more than 100 people.
Although the problem of food rations for ten thousand people is currently only a problem in one area, if it continues to worsen, the consequences will be disastrous.
Reluctantly, the person in charge of the ecological management area, who had reported no results, took it upon himself to divert comprehensive treatment devices from other areas to ensure that the algae would not die. However, other areas were not happy with this move, and residents on both sides quarreled over this issue.
In the evening, I started to take action now.
Fang Yuanlei, who was already troubled by Yin Shangyuan's death, was now facing the crisis of a large-scale conflict, so he decisively mobilized the armed police on vacation in the upper-level area to go to the scene of the incident to maintain order, and was prepared to personally intervene to mediate.
After Yan Peizhong understood the situation, he did not take the initiative to ask Fang Yuanlei if he needed help from the militia reserves. Instead, he first attended the hearing meeting of the new top manager of Tianye No. 19 Shelter.
Yan Peizhong has participated in formal meetings like this many times, but he has never felt as complicated and heavy as today.
Logically speaking, as long as Yin Shangyuan was in his prime and there were no major problems of principle, he would have no problem continuing to work in this position for twenty years. But now, Yin Shangyuan committed suicide in his temporary residence in the office area. He had no intention of doing so.
Li Cunfeng, the reserve backup who took over as the top manager, took the oath at this morning's meeting and officially took over Yin Shangyuan's job.
Seeing the new top manager of the shelter, who was taller than Yin Shangyuan but lacked Yin Shangyuan's restraint and wisdom, Yan Peizhong felt extremely uneasy.
First, let’s compare their resumes.
Yin Shangyuan had already been responsible for similar work in Hubei before becoming the top manager of Tianye No. 19 Refuge, and he was a local official-level politician before "the sun disappeared".
But Li Cunfeng was completely born as a businessman, and he was a special candidate created under a special environment and a special era.
When considering problems, he was obviously more biased towards a certain direction than Yin Shangyuan, rather than making specific arrangements and plans that combined with the overall situation. Therefore, when Li Cunfeng became an alternate, many people still expressed opposition.
But what Yan Peizhong couldn't figure out the most was that it was Yin Shangyuan himself who finally turned Li Cunfeng from a businessman to a political servant.
Now that I think about it, before he chose to commit suicide, did Yin Shangyuan also think about Li Cunfeng succeeding him as the top manager of Tianye No. 19 Shelter?
Or, did Yoon Sang-won intentionally hope to achieve something through his death?
Yan Peizhong didn't quite understand. He only knew that Li Cunfeng gave him a new order on the first day he took office.
That is to ask him to recall all militia reserves currently on the front line and issue a Class B internal directive requiring all active and reserve militiamen to be armed.
After this order was issued from Li Cunfeng, Yan Peizhong, as the commander-in-chief of Tianye No. 19 Garrison, could file for reconsideration or simply refuse to implement it.
But he didn't do that, and actually started to make arrangements according to Li Cunfeng's wishes.
There is no other reason, because this is Li Cunfeng's first order. If Yan Peizhong does not implement it, it means that Li Cunfeng, the top manager of Tianye No. 19 Refuge, exists in name only, and no one will listen to him again.
But Yan Peizhong's execution of this order was not without preconditions. He first found Li Cunfeng and declared that he would recall all militia reserves as required and complete the arming of all soldiers under his command. However, these people would not carry out further orders unless
Li Cunfeng’s deployment was approved by the top management meeting.
Li Cunfeng had no objection and smiled and nodded in agreement.
For this reason alone, Li Cunfeng feels that Yan Peizhong is much easier to talk to than Yin Shangyuan.
But Yan Peizhong does not really think that Li Cunfeng is a simple person who is easy to deal with... On the contrary, Yan Peizhong is more certain that Li Cunfeng has ideas and even ambitions, but he is not yet sure whether Li Cunfeng's taking over as the top manager is really Yin Shangyuan's instruction.
and arrangements, and what is this new top manager going to do?
While Fang Yuanlei and Yan Peizhong were busy, there was no movement at all from Long Xingdong, who should have been the most likely to be noticed by the new top manager. Even Li Cunfeng didn't even mention that Long Xingdong didn't come to the meeting.
It seems that in his opinion, Long Xingdong's presence or absence will not endanger his succession.
However, in the eyes of many people, Li Cunfeng's "carelessness" is very likely to ruin his political career in an instant. After all, Long Xingdong is the captain of the special service security brigade. Although this figure is several levels below Yan Peizhong and Fang Yuanlei in terms of rank,
But Long Xingdong and the security team under his command are the security system for the core members of Tianye No. 19 Shelter.
This system is running normally, and everyone can work and research with peace of mind, but if something goes wrong, it will be fatal. What's more, Tianye No. 19 Shelter is the research and development base for national key scientific research and exploration projects, and something went wrong here.
, then the relationship is not in the interests of a few people.
So, where did Long Xingdong go who did not attend Li Cunfeng's takeover ceremony?
…
Tianye Shelter 19 The uppermost area The highest level reception center
Zhang Fengyu, who had just finished breakfast and was about to go out for a walk, unexpectedly saw Long Xingdong, who was visiting alone at the entrance of the reception center. Zhang Fengyu didn't have a bad impression of the security brigade captain, but he couldn't say he had a favorable impression.
He was just surprised. After all, Yin Shangyuan had just died. According to the news he received, today should be the takeover ceremony for the new alternate. Long Xingdong did not go to the ceremony and came to see him?
Long Xingdong was wearing casual clothes. When he met Zhang Fengyu at the door, he smiled and said, "Are you going out?"
Zhang Fengyu nodded: "I haven't gone out for a walk since I've been here for so long, so I thought it might be helpful for the next work."
Long Xingdong nodded and kept smiling. He seemed to have no interest in the work mentioned by Zhang Fengyu.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Is it convenient to find a place to sit down and chat?"
Zhang Fengyu raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
So the two of them walked out of the reception center and walked down the wrap-around super passage.
Zhang Fengyu is still very unfamiliar with Tianye No. 19 Shelter. He only thinks that this shelter is like a big mountain. All structures are built around this underground mountain, so this kind of super passage that runs through the upper, middle and lower floors can be built.
.Pedestrians on foot, workers on commuter buses, large transportation vehicles, etc. are passing through the passage. It can be described as very lively but orderly.
Zhang Fengyu and Long Xingdong walked on the outermost side of the passage, which is the tourist area that few people usually pass by.
According to Shangguan Yeyue, this three-meter-wide sightseeing passage that can accommodate a sightseeing car and a pedestrian was built after Yin Shangyuan took over Tianye No. 19 Shelter. The purpose is to make the entire shelter feel more like a
It is a home, not an underground fortification used for refuge.
The vision is beautiful, but Tianye No. 19 Shelter has been running at high speed for the implementation of the "Kuafu" plan almost all the time since it was built. Therefore, the sightseeing passage has been built, but rarely can you see pedestrians there.
Activities here. Everyone seems to prefer doing some small business in the community exchange area, rather than traveling in twos and threes around the "big mountain" of Tianye No. 19.
It felt very weird and awkward for two unfamiliar grown men to walk together.
Zhang Fengyu didn't know what Captain Long meant by coming to see him, but seeing him take the initiative to show up was a good thing, so he smiled and said: "Captain Long has been so busy recently, how can he still have the leisure to hang out with me, a big idler?"
Long Xingdong smiled bitterly: "Captain Zhang, please don't laugh at me. After these few incidents, I, the captain of the security brigade, have finally finished my work."
Zhang Fengyu raised his eyebrows: "It happened suddenly, not to mention that Yin Shangyuan committed suicide. Is it because of this that they want to buy you a responsibility package and take away your position as captain?"
Long Xingdong snorted softly and did not continue to talk about this issue. He asked Zhang Fengyu: "Captain Zhang, do you know what Tianye means in Shelter No. 19?"
Zhang Fengyu shook his head: "I don't know."
Long Xingdong explained: "The word 'Heavenly Karma' is said to be taken from a legendary story, which tells that the world is prosperous but increasingly blind and arrogant, so the gods rain down boundless karma fire from the sky to wash away the sins of the world, and then there is no trace of karma.
When the sinful body sleeps forever, a karmic fire tomb is naturally formed here, called the Tomb of Pure Heavenly Fire. It is a place where various memories of the world are buried..."
Zhang Fengyu frowned slightly. This was the first time he had heard such a bizarre legend.
Because it really doesn’t sound like Chinese-style myths and legends, but more like Japanese ghost stories or Nordic myths.
After Long Xingdong finished speaking, he also smiled and said: "Doesn't it sound like something left by our ancestors?"
Zhang Fengyu shrugged and said it didn't matter.
Long Xingdong was silent for a while and said in a deep voice: "Captain Zhang, in fact, we are all pretending to be confused. What are you doing and why are you so timid? These are all things that everyone knows well."
The "Shanhai" was indeed a man-made accident, but it was just the tip of the iceberg. Maybe you still don't understand what I'm talking about, but if you continue to investigate, you will find that the truth is like a bottomless abyss.
It will make you more and more confused, and you will not be able to see the slightest glimmer of hope."
Zhang Fengyu changed his color slightly when he heard this, but did not answer.
In his opinion, it was unclear what the purpose of Long Xingdong's initiative to talk to him was, so he might as well just pretend not to hear anything.
Long Xingdong saw that Zhang Fengyu was silent and knew that he had concerns, so he said: "How about this, Captain Zhang, you have been here for so long and you haven't made any big moves. Why don't you make arrangements at noon today and I will give you a direction.
If you go and get people, it will naturally become much clearer."
Hearing such words, Zhang Fengyu felt like he was being arranged. He smiled and asked: "Captain Long, the more I hear your words, the more confused I become. What direction, what are you talking about? What are you talking about?"
ah?"
Long Xingdong didn't care that Zhang Fengyu continued to pretend to be confused in front of him. Instead, he smiled and said: "Yin Shangyuan died and Li Cunfeng took over. How much do you know about this man?"
Zhang Fengyu shook his head: "I don't care, my work has nothing to do with his anyway."
"But he will not let you continue to be so silent." Long Xingdong suddenly said: "Captain Zhang, if Tianye is really a tomb, then not only conspiracies will be buried, but countless loyalties will also be buried."
Zhang Fengyu was a little impatient and wanted to say four words.
That is "I don't know what to say".
But when the words came to his lips, he changed his words and said: "Then what should we do based on Captain Long's wishes?"
"You are also a professional. If I really had that ability, I wouldn't have to worry about my reputation now." Long Xingdong's voice was clear.
Zhang Fengyu sighed softly: "When you say that, I feel so stressed."
Long Xingdong stopped, looked at the darkness in the distance and said: "It's better to feel the pressure than to live in a hazy state. You know, how many people in this world can really prepare for a rainy day? It's not just raining, it's raining.
You have to become a drowned rat before you want to hold an umbrella?"
Zhang Fengyu pouted. He really didn't like Long Xingdong's way of speaking, and he didn't expect Long Xingdong to have such a personality.
But through today's conversation, Zhang Fengyu can probably understand what Long Xingdong means.
"Hmm... What is the direction Captain Dragon is pointing at?"
Long Xingdong smiled and asked: "Do you know where Song Ge lives?"
"who?"
…
Song Ge, who was wearing blue overalls, had just finished his shift in the morning. He rarely ate at the factory because compared to big pot rice, food cooked by his wife at home was more appetizing.
There are very few people like Song Ge in the workshop who only have one hour to eat lunch every day and still rush home in a hurry, so the workers often laugh at him because he is a strict henpecker, or they are afraid that his delicate wife will run away with someone else.
Whenever this time comes, Song Ge always smiles silly and never cares about others.
Song Ge does have a very beautiful and young wife. It is said that when they first met, the girl almost accused him of molestation.
This marriage is a blessing from heaven for Song Ge. Now he not only has a wife, but also two children.
In the Tianye No. 19 shelter, there are many families with children, but the number of twins is very rare. In addition, after taking office, Yin Shangyuan has paid great attention to the population management of the shelter, and the policy of encouraging childbirth has been even more effective.
Extreme, so many people say that Song Ge is a blessed person, and he can even live comfortably without working at all, relying only on the maternity subsidy given by the top management.
However, Song Ge still goes to the factory every day. In his own words, if he doesn't do something, he will always feel that he is in debt to the busy people.
On weekdays, Song Ge is versatile and warm-hearted. Many people in the community have been helped by him, so he is very popular.
No, Song Gecai greeted people in various ways on the way home, and he also had a lot of food in his arms given to him by his neighbors, saying that it was a nutritional supplement for his children.
Song Ge, who took off his shoes and hat in front of the door and was 1.7 meters tall with dark complexion, entered the house with a smile.
My wife was cooking in the kitchen as usual, while the two twin boys were playing with building blocks on the bed. The children were already two and a half years old and could express some simple contents, so when they saw their father coming back, they kept calling "Daddy, Daddy!"
"
Song Ge was so happy at this time that he immediately went up to hug his two sons.
And every time at this time, Song Ge's lover would come out of the kitchen carrying dishes and say with a smile: "Oh, you didn't even take off your coat to hug your son! Hurry up, wash your hands and eat."
But today, Song Ge's lover said nothing when he came out with the food.
Song Ge heard the sound of the dishes being put down, and turned around in confusion, only to find that the person busy in the kitchen was not his lover, but a woman he didn't know at all.
"Hurry up and eat. When you are full, someone will pick up your child, and then you come back with me." This was the first time Zi Xin cooked for a stranger.
Song Ge still had a stiff smile on his face, and he looked at the room.
It wasn't messy. Presumably these people didn't use force when they took away his lover.
Feeling at peace, Song Ge put his son aside and asked: "She doesn't know anything, don't embarrass her..."
Zi Xin nodded silently.
Song Ge took a deep breath and started eating. During the meal, he kept looking back at his two precious sons on the bed.
Ten minutes later, when Song Ge went out, there was a strange and burly man standing outside the door.
He was chatting with Song Ge's neighbor's aunt. Judging from the aunt's smile from ear to ear, she must like this tall guy quite a bit.
Ye Zixin stayed in the house, and she had to wait for the person to pick up the child.
Song Ge saw the big man outside the door and said softly: "Thank you."
Qin Huan put away his smile and said to Song Ge: "Let's go, I'm waiting for you."
Song Ge silently looked at the place where he had lived for five years, and then followed Qin Huan slowly out of the community.
…
There are two rooms, one is where Song Ge is sitting, and the other is where Song Ge's lover is sitting.
The performance of the two is completely opposite.
Song Ge was very calm, as if he already knew the current situation and what was going to happen next. In comparison, Song Ge's lover was much more panicked.
She has been asking the brother in charge of the question mark what happened to Villeroy & Boch.
But Villeroy & Boch just smiled and comforted her and did not answer her questions directly.
As for Song Ge, Zhang Fengyu did not rush to talk to him. Instead, he first fixed him in a seat with a restraint to prevent him from committing suicide, and then collected his DNA ancestral sample and sent it back to Xinghan International Airlines.
The space agency conducts comparisons.
More than an hour passed, and at around 10 o'clock in the evening, the comparison results came back.
There is no doubt that Song Ge, a Category C maintenance worker on the Shanhai International Space Station who has been clearly marked dead, is also the only confirmed survivor so far.
Seeing this result, Zhang Fengyu smiled.
sneer……
Until now, he had only understood the conspiracy behind the "Shan Hai" from various side evidences, but he never expected that there would be someone like Song Ge who had personally experienced the "Shan Hai" accident and survived in Tianye 19.
Entering the interrogation room, Zhang Fengyu sat across from Song Ge.
He thought about many questions, but he didn't know where to start when facing this man who was most likely the biggest traitor in human history.
Of course Zhang Fengyu knew that Song Ge was just a chess piece, or an abandoned piece.
But he may indeed be one of the actual executors behind this disaster.
Song Ge seemed very calm when facing Zhang Fengyu. Although his body was locked with a restraint and a restrainer was inserted into his mouth to prevent him from harming himself, he could still make sounds through the brain-computer interconnection calculation system.
He said: "Want to know the details of the destruction of the Shanhai?"
Zhang Fengyu nodded expressionlessly.
Song Ge sighed, and then said: "Then can you take this thing out of my mouth first? I don't want what I say to be analyzed by the computer. I know what I want to say and what I should say."
After Zhang Fengyu hesitated for a moment, he stood up and walked over to take the thing out of Song Ge's mouth.
Song Ge moved his sore mouth, then smiled and said, "Can you agree to one more condition?"
Zhang Fengyu was about to sit down when he heard this and looked up at Song Ge, his eyes full of disdain.
Song Ge understood, and he smiled: "Whatever, I guess even if I tell you everything I know, it will only be a small piece of this huge puzzle, and you won't have to deal with my family because of me.
Bar."
Zhang Fengyu sat down and said, "Let's talk, stop talking nonsense."
Song Ge smiled slightly: "Then... I'll start from the day I received the first order..."
…
Time October 7, 2143
Song Ge had just heard that a newcomer had been arranged for him, and he felt a little unhappy. Because Song Ge had always been like a training center for newcomers, sending newcomers one by one, and then Song Ge worked hard to teach them.
People were taken away by other departments, and then Song Ge became a loner again.
But then I thought about it, with no money and no power, and an honest and humble character, Song Ge really couldn't say anything.
It's all about making money anyway, not to mention working in a place like the International Space Station to make money. His wife and children are counting on him, so of course he has to work hard.
"What's your name?" Song Ge became even more unhappy when he saw that the newcomer was a girl.
"Xian Qian Hua!" the girl said.
…
The space elevator ascends extremely fast, but the ride experience is not that scary.
In addition, most of the people are old people, so on the way to the Shanhai International Space Station, I only heard the few newcomers chattering away.
Especially the girl Song Ge brought this time, she was really too lively and she didn't look like someone who could pass thirty days of isolation training.
In the past, Song Ge would definitely have preached a few words to calm this girl down.
But now, Song Ge feels that it doesn't matter anymore... This is his last journey since he joined Xinghan International Aeronautics and Space Administration and started working as a C-level maintenance personnel for 1,700 hours.
Thinking of this, Song Ge couldn't help but feel uneasy.
He thought about many possibilities.
He was discovered, handed over to the supervisory department, and then put on public trial.
So he kept hesitating...until the other party told him that he was just the most ordinary part of the plan, Song Ge suddenly realized how ridiculous he was.
Depart in the morning and have lunch on the Shanhai No. 1 at noon.
After the gravity transformation, the dining area has become a leisure area for many Shanhai space station staff, so it is quite crowded and the smell is very unpleasant.
When Xian Qianhua came here for the first time, she bumped head-to-head with a bearded white man. It turned out that the guy had not yet put on his shirt. The experience was almost life-threatening for the girl.
Fortunately, the other party was also quite embarrassed, otherwise Xian Qianhua might have caused some big trouble.
After Song Ge took Xian Qianhua to the designated dining place, Xian Qianhua, who had no appetite, asked: "Master, isn't this a canteen? Why are there so many people sleeping and reading here?"
Song Ge glanced at the people sleeping in the corner and said, "They are mainly worried that the long-term space environment will cause bone loss, so they stay here."
Xian Qianyan was stunned: "Ah? Is there such a danger in working on the space station? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Song Ge was speechless and muttered to himself: 'Is this really an intern who passed the test?'
When he was about to answer, a big boy came over and sat down next to Xian Qianhua and said, "It's written on the fifth page of the Space Internship Manual. You didn't read even one page, did you?"
Xian Qianhua hates it when strangers approach her, especially when they sit so close.
But she thought life in space was too wonderful.
In a space station where space is at a premium, it is extremely difficult to carve out thirty square meters as a dining area for nearly a hundred people, so her distaste eventually turned into patience.
Song Ge introduced Xian Qianhua: "I forgot to mention, his name is Yan Sichen, and he is your classmate. From now on, in addition to studying and practicing with me, you will also work outside with him at other times, so you'd better get to know him.
It can save your life at critical moments.”
Xian Qianhua was stunned when he heard this: "Save your life?"
Yan Sichen smiled and said: "Page 7, line 9 of the Space Internship Manual, if you don't want no one to save you because you forgot to hang up the fixed hook and drifted away, you'd better learn to manage relationships with others, especially becoming good friends with your co-workers.
friend."
After speaking, Yan Sichen took the initiative to extend his hand: "Let me formally introduce myself, Yan Sichen, I have been working here for a few days, and I am barely a junior. If you don't understand anything, if you are embarrassed to ask Master Song, you can just ask me directly."
Xian Qianhua grinned, stretched out her hand and shook it gently: "Oh...ok, my name is Xian Qianhua, nice to meet you."
After hearing Xian Qianhua's name, Yan Sichen asked: "Huh? It's a very rare surname! And your name... does it mean to wash away all the glory?"
Xian Qianyan raised an eyebrow: "How do you know?"
Yan Sichen was stunned and then laughed: "Haha, I guessed it."
Seeing the two chatting happily, Song Ge suddenly felt a lot less stressed. After eating something, he quietly got up and left.
Coming out of the dining area, the outside work area is divided into four levels and six areas.
Among them, for Category C personnel like Song Ge, he cannot enter Level A and B areas, and they are relatively far away from Song Ge's work area.
The overall design style still follows the "submarine cabin" of the last century. There is a constant flow of people coming and going in the passage.
Song Ge waited until this group of people came out before silently returning to his room.
An old employee like him does not need to report and re-register. The rooms are fixed and he will naturally continue to live in them after the shift. But the person who rotates with Song Ge is really a bit sloppy, and he has already been accused of secretly eating snacks in the room.
Warned twice for leaving residue.
The previous one almost caused Song Ge to choke to death.
Fortunately, Song Ge was sleeping lightly at that time, so the cookie crumbs did not kill him.
When I came back today and saw that the bed was still the same, Song Ge let out a long sigh and said quietly: "This little bitch has taken away my bed again..."
In a room without a gravity system, most things are fixed in one position, only the things in the briquette-like bed are floating.
The Shanhai International Space Station has been operating for thirty-seven years. In the past thirty-seven years, more than a dozen people have replaced the position where Song Ge lies. Nearly one-third of them had an accident during the implementation of the external solar energy collection panel and were killed.
Stay in outer space forever.
Song Ge is considered lucky.
From the time he took over this job until now, the Shanhai Space Station has been operating well, and space debris has rarely hit the space station's solar collection panels, so he is basically just walking around in outer space with a high salary.
Apart from the danger of work, Song Ge's biggest worry on the space station is that there is almost no entertainment life at all.
Although he usually hated his wife's nagging and his children's noisiness, when he was on the Shanhai and in space, he was extremely eager to hear sounds.
Especially the voices of family members.
That night, Song Ge listened to the prepared recording repeatedly.
It was recorded by his son as a birthday surprise, but before leaving, my wife was worried that he would accidentally forget it, so she told him in advance.
Although there are fewer surprises, there is more warmth.
Listening to the recording and closing his eyes, Song Ge felt like his son was lying next to him talking to him.
"Dad, do you know? I actually look up at the sky every day! I thought, if you are also looking at the ground, maybe we are greeting each other from the farthest distance! If you think about it, it's actually still...
It’s quite interesting.”
Song Ge listened, laughed and wiped away tears.
By late night, the recording had already ended.
Song Ge put on a new set of clothes and replaced the type C identity certificate with type A.
Next, he will go to a place he has never set foot before, go there, and carry out his mission.
