Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The last part of the journey is always the hardest.

After a dozen hours of flight, a direct flight from Shangjing to the west coast of North America finally landed on the runway at Los Angeles International Airport.

As early as one day ago, this international airport was pre-arranged.

From the entrance of the VIP channel to the airport runway, the flags of the two countries are filled with flags.

Members of the local state, representatives of civic groups, and White House and NASA officials from Washington stand in a row of black pressure next to the ramp. Under the lens of media reporters, they welcome the return of tens of millions of kilometers away. member.

“Welcome home, our warriors…” went up with open arms and greeted Johnson, who walked down the ramp. The vice president hugged the astonished astronaut and said to him with a heavy voice. “In the past six months, I have suffered.”

“Thank you…” let go of the vice president, and Johnson asked with a bit of exhaustion, “What about my wife?”

“She is here, and your children.”

Said, the vice president gave a half step to the side.

The little blond guy with a beautiful blond hair ran up on his calf and threw himself into Johnson’s arms.

“father!”

“Hey, my little guy… I want to father?” He smashed the head of the youngest daughter, and Johnson, who was half-squatting on the floor, finally had a smile on his tired face.

The Angel-like smile made him feel tired all over the body and he was cured in a flash.

Looking at the wife who was tearful to her own, and his two sons, he stood up on the ground and gave him his sons, and a great woman a hug.

In the husband’s arms, Julian whispered and whispered.

“……You are finally back.”

The nose was buried in his wife’s hair, and Johnson called for a deep breath, with a slight trembling voice.

“Sorry, I am worried about you…”

Not far away, the cameras in the hands of the reporters recorded this touching scene and moved it to the screen of the TV, moving more American families.

But for Johnson, it doesn’t matter.

What is important is that the hardships of this road have not been borne in vain.

He is finally going home…

After releasing his wife, Johnson shook hands with everyone who came to meet him and hugged them.

Although the Ares plan failed, no one will blame a hero who has challenged the restricted area of ​​life.

Being able to return safely from tens of millions of kilometers is a pretty remarkable thing.

It is both he is saved.

Sitting on the extended car waiting outside the VIP channel, Johnson relaxed a little on the chair, but when he waited for his wife and children, he saw that he was not coming to the car. Family, but Director Carson and Vice President.

The car door closed and the car slowly started.

Raising his eyelids and glanced at the vice president sitting opposite him, Johnson asked.

“Would you like to send me and my family back to Arizona by car?”

“Of course not, we will place you in a hotel in Los Angeles, and the flight that will take you home will be in a week.” The vice president smiled and put his hands together, then saw Carson sitting next to him. The director glanced, “I am sorry to disturb your reunion with your family, but our Carson mister…he wants to talk to you about something.”

“About the Moon Palace and the Xiaguang… and everything you see,” Carson squeezed a smile from his face and added, “You know, some things are not convenient in the Chinese communication channel.” ”

Johnson laughed and said: “In fact, it is not necessary… I think Chinese people may not care, otherwise they will not let me come back, isn’t it?”

Director Carson exchanged a gaze with the vice president. Looked towards Johnson, Zhang opened his mouth and tried to ask.

“Maybe you need a break now? If so, we can talk about this topic tomorrow too…”

“No,” Johnson shook his head. “Let’s talk about it now. It doesn’t take much time. I don’t want to waste a whole day discussing this issue tomorrow.”

“OK, thank you for your cooperation,” Director Carson slaps and gives him a look of encouragement. “Then we… start with the Xiaguang.”

Johnson nodded: “No problem, but I can only tell you what I saw… and I hope that you won’t be too surprised.”

Closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, Johnson told him that he was facing the Vice President and NASA Director Carson, and slowly talked about his own experience from the Mars track to the return to Earth.

“The Chinese people’s spaceship is very big. Two pairs of open wings are sprayed with blue fire behind them… It may not be a fire, a plasma? It is probably this. When sitting in the return cabin and looking outward, we feel ourselves It’s like a lifeboat sailing alongside a giant wheel. They recycled us without much effort and then provided us with fresh water and food…even a clean and hygienic bathroom.”

“The Cabin of Xiaguang is probably modified from the cargo compartment, but the facilities above are quite complete. The most shocking thing is not this, but their attitude towards energy. The energy on Xiaguang is almost unlimited, at least no one. Remind us how much electricity or water we can only use a day. Except for returning to the room at the specified time, they have almost no restrictions on our freedom… compared to the hard environment on BFSspaceship, it is like on the Xiaguang The same as tourism.”

“The most amazing thing is not these, but the Moon Palace.” When he talked about the Moon Palace, Johnson’s slightly tired pupils unconsciously showed a shocking look. “It is like a fortress… …the fortress that floats in the sky. The open solar panels and heat sinks are like farmland, standing in front of it, any spacecraft is just like a tiny dust floating in the universe…”

Compared with the Xiaguang, the shock that the Moon Palace brought to Johnson is obviously much bigger.

For the remaining ten minutes, his narrative was basically concentrated on the livelihood of the Moon Palace.

Until he said the last word, the two people sitting across from him couldn’t speak.

The silence of the atmosphere lasted for a long time in the car.

Sitting next to the silent director of Carson, the vice president shouted took a deep breath, and the trembling fingers took off the glasses, rubbed out the glasses and rubbed them, and whispered to himself.

“God…unbelievable.”

If the astronaut said everything without exaggeration…

The Chinese aerospace technology has reached a level that is hard to imagine!

Hearing this sentence, Johnson’s mouth twitched gently, and laughed and laughed.

“It’s incredible…”

The line of sight drifted out of the window boring, watching the scenery that passed by along the way, and the giant egg-shaped building standing on the outskirts of the road, Johnson squinted and asked with a curious voice. .

“what is that?”

The last time I came to Los Angeles, it was five years ago.

He didn’t remember that there was such a weird thing on the road to the airport.

“You said that? That’s our national ignition device, California’s ‘artificial sun’,” Vice President laughed, his tone restored a little spirit, looked towards, sitting next to the silent, Carson, said, “Okay, My buddy, there is no need to be so depressed. The Ares plan has suffered setbacks, but the federal government and the American name, the determination of space will not change.”

“California’s little sun… is it?” Johnson laughed, and the tone brought a bit of pessimistic taste. “Maybe we have built it, they have moved the nuclear fusion device to the moon.”

Although he did not say who they are, the contextual orientation is already very obvious.

After hearing this sentence, the vice president sitting opposite him was slightly awkward and subconsciously retorted.

“They can’t conduct a nuclear test on the moon.”

“Maybe,” he wasn’t interested in the topic of argument. Johnson said casually, “But if they did, who could stop them? Is our Carson director, or president of mister?” Congressional budget committee?”

I am afraid no matter which one…

Can’t do it.
