Chapter 355 Moon Girl

Chapter 355 Moon Girl
"Jask isn't coming?"

Yu Xi, wearing large sunglasses on her face, turned her head from the passenger seat.

She had been staring at the right rearview mirror for an hour.

The small reflector was a bit tiring even for her enhanced eyes after staring at it for so long:
"It's already 11 a.m., which is an hour late from the 10 a.m. he said."

"Could it be... Lin Xian, could it be that this is a smokescreen that Jask threw at you? He wants to lure you here and then do other things."

Lin Xian stared at the rearview mirror on the left side of the car without moving his eyes, and said softly:

"What's the point of him throwing a smoke bomb at me now? We don't have any initiative at all right now. If you say that the time-space assassin has entered the East China Sea and is ready to hunt us down... then it's understandable that Jask threw a smoke bomb here to lure me over."

"But haven't you confirmed several times that the time-space assassin has not entered Donghai City?"

Yu Xi nodded, and like Lin Xian, she turned her head and continued to monitor the rearview mirror:

"That's right. Although I don't know why, I can sense that the Spacetime Assassin has not yet entered the East China Sea... and is getting farther and farther away, starting in the sea outside of Donghai City, moving towards the north."

"Perhaps she really couldn't find a breakthrough in the East China Sea and wanted to try her luck somewhere else? So for now, we are safe and don't have to worry about the space-time assassin suddenly appearing."

Moving north...

Lin Xian listened to Yu Xi's words and began to analyze.

Donghai City's precautions against this time-space assassin were personally directed by Liu An, director of the National Security Agency, and were quite powerful.

This is probably why the Spacetime Assassin cannot enter the East China Sea border.

But if she were to take a detour and break in from a city in the north... perhaps the defenses wouldn't be so strict, and she might really be able to get in.

After all, there is no wall that is impenetrable. With such a long coastline in Dragon Country and the exaggerated physical strength of the time-space assassin, it should only be a matter of time before he sneaks in.

Fortunately.

Yu Xi can sense the distance and direction of the space-time assassin. Once the opponent really breaks through and approaches, she will tell herself in advance.

"so."

Lin Xian continued:

"Since the possibility of the time-space assassin hunting me down has been ruled out, there is no point in Jask throwing this smoke bomb at me. Besides, the fact that he came to visit Zheng Xiangyue and gave her a boat ticket has become a big deal and the whole world knows about it. It's not good to stand Zheng Xiangyue up in front of the whole world, right?"

"Plus, this trip is accompanied by a big shot from the Donghai government. Jask's Tesla Gigafactory in Donghai is protected by Donghai government officials anyway. He wouldn't dare stand anyone up, but he would stand up Donghai government officials... Isn't this just a deliberate attempt to act like a big shot and ruin his relationship with Donghai government officials?"

"unless……"

Lin Xian pursed his lips and thought of another possibility:
"Unless there is something extremely important that would make Jask deceive the whole world and stand up the Donghai city officials. In that case, his move was really brilliant... Everyone thought that it was impossible for him not to go to the hospital and would not dare to stand up the Donghai city officials, but he did it anyway, beyond everyone's expectations and caught everyone off guard."

"But I still think that Jask will definitely come. Because Zheng Xiangyue is a patient with congenital heart disease, and since Jask promised to send her a boat ticket... it doesn't matter if he's late. If he doesn't come in the end, the impact of this matter will be too great. You can't let down such a poor little girl, right?"

"What if Zheng Xiangyue's expectations are too high, but in the end they are not met, and she can't bear the sadness for a while, and has a heart attack? In this world, most people have absolutely clear goodwill towards children, and Jask should not break his promise. Oh, right... I'll check his Twitter, he should have updated the latest schedule."

……

Donghai, Lingang New Area, Tesla Gigafactory.

The black convoy drove into the factory in an orderly manner and came to the inner building where Angelica had stayed before.

Angelica, the secretary, Jask, and the small refrigerator sat together in the back seat of the luxury business car, each with one seat, and no one competed with anyone else.

Angelica turned her head.

I saw Jask holding the phone in both hands, typing furiously on the screen.

"What are you doing?"

Angelica asked:

"You've been typing for a long time, are you writing a paper?"

“I’m arguing with netizens.”

Jask typed furiously:
"They all criticized me, saying that I didn't visit Zheng Xiangyue on time and that I was a liar."

Angelica snorted, "You really didn't go on time."

"[If you want to fool Copernicus, you have to fool everyone.]" Jask ended the quarrel on his phone and looked up:
"No one knew about my sudden change of itinerary except me, including my secretary."

The female secretary sitting behind the two nodded, her red-framed glasses slipped down again, and she pushed her right index finger upwards:

"You'd better come up with a suitable reason and explain it clearly to the bigwigs in Donghai City... To be honest, it doesn't matter if Zheng Xiangyue is late. As long as you can go today and deliver the boat ticket, all this is a small matter."

"But you really went too far with the Donghai City officials. So many high-ranking people arranged work schedules for you, but you stood them up without saying a word and even now you haven't even given a reason. This makes my job very difficult."

"I never thought you would even break an official meeting like this. You're really bold."

Jask smiled helplessly and spread his hands:
"I can't help it. I can only apologize later... If I don't deceive everyone else, how can I deceive Copernicus?"

"Why did Copernicus dare to take action this morning? He was determined that I would never miss the invitation from the Donghai officials today. The whole world knows that my Tesla was able to come back to life thanks to the support and help from the Donghai officials."

"If they hadn't helped me build this Tesla Gigafactory... Tesla would have definitely gone bankrupt if the production capacity and delivery issues hadn't been resolved. And... whenever I think about this, I find it incredible!"

"Do you know what Dragon Country speed means? It took only 11 months from the groundbreaking of this super factory to the delivery of the first car! My God, 11 months to build such a large factory from wasteland and produce the first car... This is a miracle that only Dragon Country can accomplish. It is amazing."

"Copernicus certainly knew that no matter who I stood up, I would never stand up the Donghai City government, so he dared to act today and steal my small refrigerator... This is the trap I set for him by deliberately going against my intention. Now, isn't the real purpose exposed? After knowing that Copernicus' goal is indeed to steal my space-time particles... the answers to many questions are about to be revealed."

After saying that, he turned his head again and looked at Angelica:

"Angelica, I will take you to see Lin Xian tonight, but before that...you must not contact Lin Xian."

"I still have some concerns, and there are still some things that need to be confirmed. If you contact Lin Xian in advance and our plan is exposed... then all our efforts will be in vain."

“Believe me, if you really want to help Lin Xian, you’ve waited for so long, so why not wait a few more hours until night? [We must make Copernicus think that his plan has succeeded, his closed loop is about to be completed, and his goal is about to be achieved], only in this way can we attack him by surprise, break his plan, and save Lin Xian!”

"I have told you frankly that the blue-eyed girl who was chasing Lin Xian did leave from me, but I definitely did not let her kill him. I suspect there must be someone behind the scenes directing the blue-eyed girl. Identify the real mastermind behind all this and then eliminate it... This is the last piece of the puzzle for Lin Xian! It is also our common puzzle!"

……

Tunghai University Affiliated Hospital, parking lot outside the inpatient department.

Lin Xian refreshed the Twitter interface and a message popped up, which was the update that Jask had just posted.

"Jask updated his Twitter."

As Lin Xian spoke, he moved his phone closer to Yu Xi and asked her to watch it together.

In a recently updated Twitter post, Jask explained why he hasn't arrived at Zheng Xiangyue's ward yet.

He apologized profusely, saying that the car was halfway there when an accident suddenly occurred in the factory. As the saying goes, safety in production is of paramount importance, he immediately returned the same way and personally took charge of resolving the accident in the factory. It was only a mechanical failure and no casualties.

Now, he will resume his journey, meet with officials from Donghae City, and then go to Tunghai University Hospital to visit Zheng Xiangyue.

Lin Xian put away his phone and looked at Yu Xi:

"He's coming. He'll probably be here in less than an hour. Let's get ready."

After one hour……

A long convoy entered the hospital.

Jask and a Donghai official got out of the double-flashing Coaster and walked into the inpatient department together.

Considering Zheng Xiangyue's health, he also doesn't want so many people to disturb her rest.

So there were no media reporters on this trip.

There were no other strangers.

"Yu Xi, let's go."

Lin Xian opened the car door and prepared to get out.

"I'll just wait here."

Yu Xi, the co-pilot, said:

"Jask should know about my existence. That time-space assassin will definitely tell him that I am protecting you."

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to negotiate with him now if I'm present. It might even arouse Jask's vigilance."

"And if Jask doesn't know of my existence and the time-space assassin didn't tell him the truth, then I'd better hide it. This can be regarded as a hidden trump card of ours... Why should I take the initiative to expose it to Jask?"

Lin Xian thought about it and felt that there was some truth in it.

Regardless of whether Jask knows about Yu Xi's existence or not, it is best to hide Yu Xi.

Just as Yu Xi said.

She was just a follower in the past and couldn't help negotiate for herself. There was no need to fight here, and the time and space assassin was still far away.

From this perspective, there was really no need for her to appear on the scene, nor was there any need for her to actively expose herself to Jask.

but.

He thought of Huang Que's words again...

【Don't leave Yu Xi】

In the past, Huang Que always complained that she didn't take what she said seriously.

This time, when it comes to Yu Xi, Lin Xian believes that he is very obedient. The longest straight-line distance between him and Yu Xi every day has never exceeded 10 meters, and they are just short of being chained together.

"Don't worry, Lin Xian."

As if seeing Lin Xian's concerns, Yu Xi told him:

"I will always keep an eye on the location of the Spacetime Assassin. If there is any problem, I will immediately rush to Zheng Xiangyue's ward on the 17th floor to find you. The Spacetime Assassin is really far away, and she will definitely not be able to come here for a while."

"Also, you see, although Jask and his entourage didn't block the hospital building, they were still on guard. You told the National Security Agency about the image of the blue-eyed girl. If they noticed me, wouldn't that just cause trouble?"

"I can't help you in the negotiation with Jask anyway, so I might as well wait for you here. Less trouble is worse than more."

Lin Xian weighed the pros and cons:
"But... you're still too far away from me in the car, and I'm worried. Come with me and wait for me at the staircase on the 17th floor. Jask can't see you there, and you're not too far from me."

……

Tunghai University Affiliated Hospital, Inpatient Department, 17th Floor, Zheng Xiangyue’s Ward.

dong dong.

The head nurse knocked on the half-open door and smiled at the person inside:
"Xiang Yue! Look, who's here to visit you!"

Zheng Xiangyue, who was sitting on the bed, raised her head.

Wink.

She looked at the tall foreign man who pushed the door open and immediately sat up straight:

"Ja...Jask!!"

"Hehe, Xiangyue, long time no see. We talked on the phone before."

Jask smiled and waved at her, then walked in slowly, pulled a chair and sat down beside the bed:
"It's just that time you might not have believed what I said and simply thought it was a joke."

"Is it possible that this is true?!"

Zheng Xiangyue couldn't help but hide her excitement and opened her eyes wide:

"Do I really... do I really have a ticket to the moon?"

in fact.

She didn't just know about this.

The day after Jask's moon trip press conference, a nurse told her the good news.

But everyone said behind my back...it was just a white lie.

After all, a ticket to the moon costs as much as 1200 million US dollars!
Who would give Zheng Xiangyue such an expensive gift?
No, no, 1200 million US dollars can no longer be described as expensive, it is simply an exaggerated number, an extremely exaggerated number.

Zheng Xiangyue has no rich relatives, and her only brother died in a car accident.

She was just a poor orphan. Although she had a lot of money in her medical account, and both MX and Rhine were responsible for her follow-up treatment plan and agreed to bear the necessary hibernation chamber costs.

But this money is still far from 1200 million US dollars.

therefore.

Everyone thinks.

The boat ticket given to Zheng Xiangyue should be fake, unreal, and a white lie.

Money is one of the problems.

The key is……

Zheng Xiangyue's body was simply not strong enough to support her on this trip to the moon.

Let’s not talk about whether she can hold on until that day.

Even if she could hold on... with her physical condition and fragile heart, how could she withstand the overload acceleration during a rocket launch and the vacuum environment of the universe?

This is also a reality that must be faced.

Zheng Xiangyue does not meet any of the requirements to travel to the moon, so she is destined not to go to the moon!

Zheng Xiangyue herself is also a sensible child.

She could hear what everyone discussed every day and understood some facts... Maybe her ticket to the moon was really fake.

$1200 million.

She had checked and found that the amount was nearly 100 million Royal Yuan, which was more money than her brother Zheng Chenghe could earn in several lifetimes.

How can I buy this boat ticket without money?
Although she didn’t quite understand why her body couldn’t withstand the acceleration of a rocket, there were many popular science videos on the Internet, and she roughly understood the principle…

I really can't ride a rocket.

After all, her original dream was just to be buried on the moon after her death, and she didn't expect to be able to stand on the moon alive.

Zheng Xiangyue spent day after day with these conflicting thoughts.

Everyone who saw her was smiling and kind, encouraging her to hold on, defeat the disease, and one day travel to the moon on a spaceship!

Then she will naturally accept encouragement with a smile and not let others down.

Previously, she did receive a call from a man claiming to be the owner of Space-T, Jask.

The other party congratulated her on getting the ticket and confirmed that she was indeed qualified to go to the moon.

Zheng Xiangyue just said thank you happily.

She didn't quite believe it.

Perhaps, this was still a white lie, made up by everyone to make her happy... How could she be willing to let everyone down?
The days passed one by one.

No one around me is talking about tickets to the moon.

After that press conference, the lunar travel plan made no progress and seemed to be a distant dream.

Zheng Xiangyue received treatment while waiting for a suitable heart, and at the same time... Every night, she gently picked up her brother's urn, sat on the balcony, looked at the moonlight in the sky, and looked at the distant planet 38 kilometers away.

Unexpectedly.

Nowadays!

Space-T's boss, Jask, actually came to his ward!

"Yes."

Jask smiled, pulled out the ticket for Flying to the Moon from his suit pocket, and handed it to Zheng Xiangyue:
"Xiangyue, the phone call I made earlier was indeed made by me; this ticket of yours to the moon is also real."

"But……"

Zheng Xiangyue took the ticket with some trembling and looked at Jask:
"But the 1200 million US dollars..."

"Haha, someone has already paid for you."

Jasker asked Zheng Xiangyue to accept the boat ticket without any worries:
"Although revealing the mystery now may disappoint some people, I don't want to see such a cute little girl questioning the authenticity of the ticket. So... I'll just tell you directly."

"Xiangyue, this ticket to the moon was given to you by Lin Xian. He paid for it in full with an anonymous check for exactly 1200 million US dollars. Lin Xian, do you know this person?"

Zheng Xiangyue nodded quickly:

"Brother Lin Xian! Of course I know him! He even came to celebrate my birthday last year!"

As she spoke, she moved her body, took out a huge Rhine cat doll from behind her, and said with a smile:

"Look! This is the birthday present that Brother Lin Xian gave me! He said this Rhine Cat is a super limited edition! There are only two in the world!"

"Wow, that's great." Jask clapped his hands enthusiastically:
"Yes, it's the boat ticket that your brother Lin Xian gave you. Does he come to see you often?"

Speaking of which.

Zheng Xiangyue bit her lip and shook her head gently:

"It's been a long time since Brother Lin Xian came here last time... The last time he came, he took Xu Yiyi to the Dragon Science Institute and put her to sleep in the hibernation cabin. Since then, he has never come here again..."

Xu Yiyi?
Hearing the name, Jask remembered it instantly.

She should be Professor Xu Yun’s daughter who is in a vegetative state.

Two years ago, Professor Xu Yun suddenly announced the filling fluid of the hibernation chamber, which caused a sensation around the world. Jask naturally also saw the overwhelming coverage.

He knew without guessing that Professor Xu Yun's death must have been instigated by Copernicus, as his various behavioral characteristics were too obvious.

original……

Xu Yiyi had always been in the same ward with Zheng Xiangyue.

He raised his head and continued:
"Xiang Yue, the first thing I came here for today is to give you the boat ticket. The second thing is that I want to tell you a promise... It's also related to the hibernation cabin."

"In fact, my personal suggestion is that you should wait until the hibernation chamber technology matures, sleep in it as soon as possible, and hibernate directly until the future when humans can treat congenital heart disease. Then, when your body is completely healthy, you can consider the trip to the moon."

"I promise you that your ticket to the moon is always valid and will never expire. No matter when you wake up or when you want to make this trip, my company and I will launch a flight for you unconditionally. Even if you are the only passenger on that flight, we will launch as usual and definitely send you to the moon safely."

Zheng Xiangyue took a deep breath.

Looking at Jask in disbelief:
"Really...really?"

She had been worried about this issue before, so when Brother Lin Xian asked her if she wanted to hibernate with Xu Yiyi, she shook her head and refused.

If this ticket is really valid forever...

She really didn't mind going on this trip to the moon later, until she was well again.

"Really! Of course it's true!"

Jask smiled and took out his phone:

"Why don't we take a photo together and let me post it on Twitter. It can be regarded as a response to those trolls. By the way, our agreement can be recorded on the Internet so that this promise will be effective forever."

As he spoke, Jaske turned on the front camera, took a photo with the happy Zheng Xiangyue and the boat ticket, wrote his promise on it, and clicked to send the status:
"That's good, Xiangyue. The whole world knows that you have a ticket to the moon that never expires. So, go get treated first without any worries. It doesn't matter if it's decades or hundreds of years later... even if you lose your ticket. Jask and Space-T will always owe Zheng Xiangyue a ticket to the moon, and we're ready to cash it for you at any time!"

He smiled and put his phone away.

Look back out the door.

I found out...the person I was waiting for seemed not to have come yet.

Is it too slow, Lin Xian?

I'm already hours late, why aren't you here yet?
Since you haven’t come yet, let’s chat for a while.

He turned back to look at Zheng Xiangyue:
"Speaking of which, why do you like going to the moon so much? What do you want to do on the moon?"

"I want to bury my brother on the moon."

Zheng Xiangyue smiled and said something thought-provoking.

Jask tilted his head:

"elder brother?"

Zheng Xiangyue pointed to the urn on the bedside table next to her:
"Yes, that's my brother."

When Jask saw the urn, he suddenly realized what was going on and clasped his hands together:

"Oh, sorry, my condolences."

"Actually... my original wish was for my brother to bury me on the moon."

Zheng Xiangyue placed the ticket to the moon on the urn, looked at her brother's black and white photo, and said softly:

"My brother said that after my parents passed away, their souls were on the moon, watching us on Earth from the moon. So... I thought that after I die, I would ask my brother to bury me on the moon so that I can reunite with my parents on the moon."

"I mentioned this wish to my brother countless times, but he never agreed to it. He said he would not watch me die and would definitely find a way to cure me... I never expected that such a strong and powerful brother would die before me."

"Since my brother is gone, I have no choice but to bury his ashes on the moon. If I can't come back, I will be buried with my brother. On the moon, we are still a family with my parents. If I can return to Earth, I will look at the moon every night. I know... my parents and my brother must be watching me from the moon."

……

Jask listened and smacked his lips.

He rubbed his nose with his left hand and rubbed the stubble on his chin.

I feel really bad.

He finally heard it.

In Zheng Xiangyue's simple life, there are really all kinds of white lies surrounding her.

It was these lies that isolated her from the cruel world and allowed her to smile as she dreamed of chasing the moon.

"What about you, Uncle Jask?"

Zheng Xiangyue suddenly turned around and looked at the silent man in front of her:
"Because of your lunar project, I have also looked up a lot of information about you. Although I don't understand most of it...but I know that you are a great person. You send people to travel in space and you are going to send people to live on Mars."

"Then why do you want to go to the moon? Is there anyone you want to meet there? What do you plan to do after you land on the moon?"

Jask rubbed his chin:

"I haven't thought about it in detail yet, because to be honest, landing on the moon is not an easy thing, nor can it be achieved in a short period of time."

"Moreover, the moon is too close to the earth. The temperature difference between day and night is as high as 300 degrees. The rotation period is as long as one month. This planet is actually of no significance for development and is far inferior to Mars. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that humans will be able to build a base on the moon to live..."

"To be honest, I actually have a crazy plan in mind. I've always felt that the moon is a natural billboard! Think about it... Because of tidal locking, the moon's rotation period and revolution period are exactly the same."

"This means that the moon will always face the earth with its front side, and people on earth will never be able to see the back of the moon. In addition, the moon can reflect sunlight, so it is so bright every night and is the only huge luminous body in the night sky..."

"No matter how you look at it, isn't this a perfect celestial billboard? If I put my logo on the moon, then for hundreds of years to come, no matter where on Earth someone looks up, they will definitely see my company's logo on the moon."

"According to my original idea, I plan to use diffuse reflective material to lay an English letter vertically across the North and South Poles on the moon's surface. It can be T or X, anyway, they are both my company's trademarks... How do you think of the moon? Don't you think it's cool?"

Zheng Xiangyue was stunned when she heard this.

He shook his head hurriedly:
"Jia...Uncle Jask, how could you do this? The moon is so beautiful and white...how could you write on it?"

"Aha?"

Jask smiled:

"Isn't that cool?"

"Of course it's not cool...and it's scary!"

Zheng Xiangyue frowned and said with a worried look:
"If the moon becomes like that, I'm afraid many people won't dare to look up at the sky, right? Since my parents are on the moon... then I guess there must be many people in this world whose parents, relatives, and friends are on the moon, right?"

"When we miss them, we can look up at the moon; when they miss us, they can look down at the earth... If your huge black logo blocks our view, then we... we will never be able to see each other, right?"

Zheng Xiangyue's innocent words.

Jask was stunned for a moment.

He had never considered such a sentimental thing.

Including his own Starlink satellite. When many people said that he polluted the night sky, he actually didn't care at all in his heart.

He believes that with the pace of technology, polluting a little bit of the night sky is simply insignificant.

The night sky is so big.

It doesn’t matter if there are a few more twinkling stars, right?

And Zheng Xiangyue's words seemed to make him think of more things.

"Uncle Jask..."

Zheng Xiangyue moved over and took Jask's large hand with her two delicate hands:

"I beg you……"

Her eyes were clear and pure as she looked into Jask's eyes:
