Chapter 1 The Lone Ranger

Wang Ping'an was woken up by the ringtone of the mobile phone.

Suppressing the anger of being interrupted, he picked up the phone: "Hello, who?"

There was a sweet voice on the opposite side: "Hello, Xiecheng Tourism is now launching a special seven-day space tour, which will allow you to experience the experience of being an astronaut..."

Wang Pingan couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and yelled into the phone: "I'm an astronaut! I'm the commander of the flight mission control. Do you understand the rank of lieutenant? Do you understand!"

After speaking, he threw the phone on the pillow.

The current mobile phones have the function of intelligently judging whether the owner wants to hang up the phone, so they hang up automatically.

Wang Ping angrily scolded: "Why didn't there be a function of smart rejection?"

Unexpectedly, his words activated the phone's AI, so the AI ​​replied: "According to the new three laws of robots..."

"Enough, shut up!" Wang Pingan, who was still in the state of getting up, cursed.

The AI ​​automatically silences itself.

When Wang Pingan first started his vacation, he installed a "sense of humor module" for his AI. In such a situation, the AI ​​would say "theoretically, I don't have a mouth".

At first, Wang Ping'an thought that the AI ​​that could be talkative was fun, but after using it for half a month, he removed the module because it was too annoying.

As a person who likes to be talkative, Wang Pingan realized for the first time how annoying he was. Since then, he has made up his mind to be a concise and concise person.

The resolution probably only lasted two days.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Pingan got out of bed and looked around his one-person apartment. Well, it was still as messy as yesterday.

Bachelor's dorms are probably pretty much the same.

Other bachelors might still have beer bottles and an ashtray full of cigarette butts, but Wang Ping'an is an astronaut, and he'll lose his job if he drinks and smokes.

He stood up, found a few clothes and put them on, and then went to the bathroom to wash his face.

As soon as the faucet in the bathroom was turned on, the phone rang again.

Wang Pingan sighed and said, "Put the phone on."

The phone screen that was still on the pillow was automatically unlocked, and when it entered the call interface, an old voice came: "Wang Ping'an! Why did you violate the operating regulations last time you flew!"

Wang Pingan pouted.It will start like this, only his class teacher when he was in the Space Flight Academy, the old man must have known about his punishment.

"I kept the spacecraft." Wang Ping'an replied, "I just omitted 200 steps in the operation manual. As you told me, the operation manuals were written by engineers who had never been to the sky. It's okay to ignore it."

"When did I tell you that?"

"During the class, you also said that if you can't find out where the problem is, you can use a wrench to slam the broken equipment. I tried it, and your experience is very useful."

"That's why you scrapped so many devices?"

Wang Pingan heard a sigh coming from the phone.

Then the head teacher changed his tone of earnestness: "Peace, I didn't say you, when you graduated, you were No.1 in that period, and you graduated with the rank of lieutenant. After so many years, you are still a lieutenant!"

"I think the main reason why I have been a lieutenant is because I had a conflict with the colonel in charge of promotion in our flight brigade." Wang Pingan said angrily, "That bastard thinks that I hooked up with his daughter, and it is obviously his daughter who hooked up with me! It's too late for me to run! Bad luck! As a result, he always puts on my shoes!"

Class guide: "The colonel in charge of promotion? Do you mean Colonel Lu?"

"Yeah. He thinks I hooked up with his daughter!"

"Then did you hook up?"

"No." Wang Pingan said categorically, "I explained it to him very seriously. But he didn't believe it."

The head teacher sighed helplessly, and continued: "I will explain this to Colonel Lu. However, it is really not Colonel Lu's responsibility that you cannot be promoted. The reason why you cannot be promoted is because there is such a thing in your comprehensive evaluation. One comment: No organization, no discipline, no spirit of collaboration.”

"That's what he wrote!"

"This is the result of a comprehensive evaluation by the supercomputer. Colonel Lu has the right to change this result based on his own observations. At that time, his evaluation and the evaluation of the computer will be sent to the higher level. But tell yourself, he has What reason can you change this result for you?"

Wang Pingan was silent.He didn't get along well with Colonel Lu, who was in charge of personnel affairs. In fact, he didn't get along well with most of the leaders in the brigade. No one would like a subordinate who violated regulations all day long.

"I heard that you also gave yourself a radio call sign called Lone Ranger?" the class teacher asked again.

Wang Pingan nodded: "Yes, because everyone else is a two-person crew, and I am the only one flying."

"Hmph, do you still think it's quite an honor? The 'Lone Ranger' in Top Gun can get away with it because his good friend 'Iceman' is the captain of the fleet, and he can protect him. Who do you have who can protect you?"

"You." Wang Pingan said without thinking.

It was silent over there.Wang Pingan continued to brush his teeth instead, it was time to wash his face.

He was grinding his teeth with an electric toothbrush. The class teacher said, "I'm about to retire, just like in the movie. I can no longer cover you. Think about your future."

After speaking, the phone was hung up.

Wang Pingan finally finished washing, and was sitting at the table to read today's morning news when the phone rang again.

This time the call was directly connected by the phone's AI: "Lieutenant Wang, according to the psychological evaluation report, we think you need a partner. For this reason, we suggest..."

"I refuse! I can fly the mission. In fact I do it very well!"

"Lieutenant Wang," the other side of the phone is estimated to be the artificial intelligence of the Aviation Management Committee, "according to the latest flight regulations, the pilot we assign to you will be a female, because according to your test results, you are a heterosexual... ..."

"I don't want it! I don't want it! Say it again, I don't want it! I can solve all the problems by myself, a woman—no, it's a partner, and a partner has no meaning other than dragging me down! Or, now the regulations stipulate that you can't fly alone ?”

The AI ​​replied immediately: "There is no such rule. I wish you a happy last day of vacation!"

The phone hangs up.

Wang Pingan let out a long breath.

Just then, the phone rang again.

"It's me, who is it?" Wang Pingan answered the phone and asked impatiently.

He was in a hurry to tidy himself up.

"Who? Your dad! The brat didn't go home to take a look when he was on vacation. Come back now, I know you astronauts can take the floating car for free, and you'll be back in no time. When I come back, I will introduce a younger sister to you." You know her! She's beautiful!" Dad Wang Youcai was still bluffing, and he knew that he hadn't run away.

Wang Pingan sighed: "Dad, people of your generation still look uneven. People of my generation are all genetically adjusted and beautiful."

"This one is very beautiful! I'll send you a photo! Besides, the girl works in the dispatch bureau, so it will be good for you in the future..."

"Father," Wang Pingan said helplessly, "the Dispatching Bureau can only manage the low-Earth orbit, and it doesn't belong to them above the Earth's extreme high orbit. The one that manages us is called the Aerospace Management Committee."

"What high orbit and low orbit, I'm just fooling your dad, aren't they all astronauts? Anyway, come back soon, it's really beautiful!"

Wang Pingan frowned, suddenly he had a plan, let the computer retrieve a picture of a foreign beauty, and projected it on the color TV.

"Dad, don't worry about my marriage. I just asked the Space Management Committee to change my female partner, who is also very beautiful. It is normal for us astronauts to get married between male and female partners! Let me show you the photos. "

As he said that, Wang Ping pointed his phone at the color TV, took a picture, and sent it to his father.

Dad was silent on the other side, probably shocked by this Aina's peerless face.

"Father?" Wang Ping'an asked with some complacency.

"Well, it's quite beautiful, but this is a foreigner, you can't do it."

Wang Ping'an was drinking tea, and spit it out in one gulp: "What the hell?"

When stains were detected on the ground, the sweeping robot automatically mobilized and buzzed to clean up the tea that Wang Ping'an had sprayed just now.

"Oh, you know! Foreigners are wild, you can't handle it! How long do you have for your vacation?"

"Um, tomorrow I'm going to Lagrange L2, and I'm going to start recovery training."

"Why are you leaving so soon... No matter, you came back today to meet this girl, you can talk slowly in the future..."

"Father, it's not that you don't know. We went to Mars and ran back and forth for more than a year. I met a girl today, and then let her hang out for more than a year. Is it possible?"

"Can we communicate..."

"The communication is often delayed for a few minutes, can the girl bear it?"

Dad was silent.

Wang Pingan knew that this meant that the father was persuaded.

Finally, the other side sighed: "Okay, I won't give you a blind date, but this is a must when I go home for dinner tonight! You must come back! I will cook your favorite potato stewed beef and braised eggplant for you Let me tell you, this is the eggplant I grew myself, it is real eggplant, not the kind of eggplant synthesized with additives!"

Wang Ping'an curled his lips: "Okay, after thinking about it carefully, I really should go home on the first day of the holiday."

"You know how to be an afterthought! In fact, your father knows what you think! You just think we are annoying! Really, how old are your mother and I, how many years can we still bother you?

"When we are all gone, you are still alone. At that time, if you want to talk to someone, you have to go to a psychiatrist! Listen to my father, get married and have a child, our old couple can still take care of you now." If you have to move your child, I can take it for you.

"When we can't move anymore..."

"Okay, Dad, I'm going to the Aviation Management Committee to meet your foreign daughter-in-law, I'm dead!"

"You are a foreign daughter-in-law! Look, you are so beautiful. Now, what do foreign girls like to do? Anyway, be careful that you can't walk around!"

Dad hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Wang Ping'an shrugged, put the towels back in the bathroom, and picked up the lieutenant's uniform hanging on the wall.

After getting dressed, he looked at the "future female partner" on the color TV, and then at himself in the full-length mirror.

"Come on, let's go home after a long absence."
