Arknights, are you a good person?

The sword burning in the sky made Xi feel so alive.

"I... suddenly don't want to die."

She talked to herself in a voice that only she could hear, and painted with her brush. A handsome man appeared on the paper, stepping on a flying sword and shooting straight into the sky.

"..."

"Why did you draw Qi Yuan so big?" asked the Angel of Power in confusion.

“Artistic technique.”

Xi replied indifferently: "This is to highlight Qi Yuan as the main subject. Of course, I can draw a rocket and then put two small black dots on it. Then you will know what I am drawing?"

“…That’s true.”

Xi turned her head away and ignored it.

The reasons just now were indeed sufficient, but Xi did not finish. Having been obsessed with painting for thousands of years, her creations were completely based on her feelings. In Xi's heart, although the rocket was huge, it was completely conquered by Qi Yuan.

Therefore, no matter how huge the rocket is, it is tiny in front of Qi Yuan.

"I wish you success."

As Xi added the last stroke, the person in the painting seemed to break through the sky, and an unstoppable artistic conception emerged spontaneously.

Majestic and sharp.

It's exactly the same as the situation outside.

-------------------------------------

The same was true for all living beings on the ground. When they heard the news that the rocket was launched, all telescopes were sold out. Astrologers became the most sought-after talents in the job market because almost every one of them had a telescope to observe the inspiration that the starry sky brought to this earth.

It can be considered a hit or miss.

"Souls bound by gravity, take a good look at the sky. Compared with the vast sky, the disputes on the ground are like monkeys fighting over bananas!"

It has also nurtured a group of astronomy enthusiasts, or nihilists, who are mainly civil servants where competition is relatively less fierce. They never do extra work, leave work on time, pretend not to understand what their leaders are saying, and tinker with telescopes as soon as they get off work, with an eye on the universe.

Tonight, every pair of eyes is looking up at the starry sky.

The rocket had already flown out of sight, and the pale flames emanating from its bottom made it hang in the sky like a star. It moved at a very high speed, which was completely different from the other stars, so almost everyone could see it.

"Stop it!"

Without any organization, screams like thunder and waves rang out in unison in the dark city.

"I remember Christen's parents... The Wrights flew their aircraft to an altitude of more than 6,000 meters and then both crashed. Could it be that she stopped to remember her parents?"

"Did she hit a high wall, too?"

Worried.

Although most of the people in Trimont had never bought Rhine Life's stock, the entire city was in a state of panic at this moment.

"It's about to begin."

Deep in the well, the ancient preserver suddenly spoke, like a starting gun.

The Wanxing Garden, which was left with only a small dot of light, suddenly burst into light exponentially more intense, dazzling and brilliant, like a supernova explosion, and even the night sky seemed to be lit up for a moment.

Before the sound of the explosion could spread, the bright light suddenly began to move.

In an instant, it began to rush upwards.

Even with a visual distance of six kilometers, it moved too fast, so fast that it left a bright red tail, like a meteor flying upwards. In an instant, a long and narrow streak of light suddenly appeared in the sky.

"Quickly calculate!"

Rhine's department director is worthy of the title of genius. Based on the length in field of vision and the comprehensive distance, he calculated the true length of the trail in just a few seconds.

"Never mind."

The voice of the preserver was lazy, revealing a sense of pride that could not be concealed: "Qi Yuan boasted to me before he went up. This is called... Sword Qi traverses 30,000 miles, and the light of a sword chills 19 continents."

"Ugh."

After boasting, the preserver sighed again: "I haven't heard of the concept of continent for a long time. When Qi Yuan mentioned this, I even felt a little unfamiliar."

Compared with all these earth-shaking movements, the star pod seemed insignificant.

The three-hundred-meter-long giant sword, dragging a sword energy that spanned thirty thousand miles, collided with the indestructible barrier.

Then, he broke it with one sword.

Instruments malfunctioned, devices stopped working, these things really happened. According to common sense, the rocket should have lost all ability to respond instantly, and plunged directly into the land of Terra. However, none of this happened. The sword energy was still rising, unstoppable, beyond all common sense.

“We have arrived in the sky.”

Qi Yuan's eyes were filled with unconcealed excitement. He kept muttering as he flew upwards, "Is it possible that I could break through the first cosmic speed just now? Should I let Old Wei and Little Chen open their eyes when I get back?"

The rocket moved upward at high speed, and Qi Yuan soon saw the pale moon and the bumpy surface.

Christen looked at him puzzledly, not knowing what Qi Yuan was going to do.

"Cough cough."

Qi Yuan's expression suddenly became extremely resolute, as if he was carrying out a great cause, and a series of small words came out of his mouth:

"This is a small step for me, but a giant leap for mankind."

After finishing speaking, Qi Yuan waved his hand:

"record on file!"

481: Qi Yuan Flying to the Sky (3 more)

This is a small step for me, but a big step for mankind——by Qi Yuan.

One day in the future, this sentence will be posted in every city in Terra, and Qi Yuan’s name will be recited along with this sentence by every Terran.

Qi Yuan did not feel any guilt for plagiarizing the famous quote. Instead, he felt a strong sense of accomplishment. After he finished speaking, he puffed out his chest proudly, which greatly changed Kristen's impression of him.

"I didn't expect that you actually have a spirit of exploration."

Chris crossed his arms.

The scenery outside continued to fly backwards, the lone moon disappeared, and only flashes of light remained in the darkness.

“So that’s what’s happening outside.”

Christen leaned against the porthole, looking at the seemingly endless darkness, and said to herself with great emotion: "It's so dark, so quiet."

"Because we took off at night."

Qi Yuan patiently explained: "Our spacecraft happens to be in the shadow created by the planet's rotation. If we launch it during the day, we will probably see a pale white surrounding, with an eternal star floating in the center, emitting constant light.

"..."

Noticing that Christen's expression was not right, Qi Yuan quickly changed his words: "I was wrong, it's your aircraft."

"Do you think I care about this little thing?"

Kristen shook her head and laughed. "I'm just a little curious. I spent decades of hard work to reach the starry sky, but it's almost within your reach. You even introduced everything here to me like a tour guide, like you knew everything about it."

“Actually, this is my first time in space, too.”

Qi Yuan said modestly: "It's mainly because I was good at physics in high school, especially the chapter on celestial bodies and gravity. I passed the third mock exam..."

"You didn't even go to college."

Christen interrupted him, a look of sadness flashed in her eyes, Qi Yuan suddenly reacted and quickly shut his mouth.

Kristen is a genius scientist.

It was a close call, I almost hit the wall.

Qi Yuan shook his head and continued to control Wanxing Garden to fly upwards.

"All of Terra's imaginations about the sun, moon, and stars are the ramblings of astrologers, full of empiricism and obscure technical terms. They even think that the movement of the stars is some kind of prophecy and revelation to the people on earth."

Christen shook his head and looked at Qi Yuan with burning eyes: "Tell me about the laws governing the operation of this universe."

"..."

"Okay, then I'll start with the gravitational constant. This constant was obtained accurately by Cavendish through the torsion balance experiment he designed..."

These were all middle school knowledge, and Qi Yuan spoke haltingly, only relying on some memory.

Fortunately, Kristen was a good student.

Some of her questions can quickly help Qi Yuan integrate the loose knowledge, which can be said to be incisive and profound. She herself is also very good at drawing inferences from one example and thinking for herself.

"I see……"

"The forces acting on tiny electric charges also apply to large celestial bodies. To escape from the bondage of gravity, an escape velocity is also required..."

Qi Yuan couldn't bear to see a top student with better grades than him showing off his intelligence in front of him, so he quickly pushed Christen aside and concentrated on controlling the Wanxing Garden to take off.

"It will be satisfying if we can at least fly to low-Earth orbit this time." Putting physics aside for the moment, Qi Yuan's mind is now full of pleasing himself.

-------------------------------------

"arrive."

Qi Yuan patted Christen on the shoulder, bringing her back to her senses from the dreamlike mathematical calculations. She woke up as if from a dream and subconsciously looked out the porthole. The moon had become bigger, and the potholes on it were clearly visible.

Unlike the starry sky she imagined, even when she flew high into the sky, the distance between her and the stars remained unchanged.

"This requires mentioning the differences between satellites, stars, and planets."

Qi Yuan shook his head: "Let's talk about this later. Turn back and look at the porthole on the other side first."

Under the influence of centrifugal force, up and down and directions had lost their meaning. Christen looked back and saw a blue planet. The yellowish land was wrapped in the blue and looked a little small. Even with Christen's eyesight, it took him a while to find Columbia.

Terra is a planet.

The star pods cover the planet like a veil, making it seem like a dream.

"It turns out that the world is a ball." Qi Yuan, standing nearby, sighed in a very artificial manner, trying to say another famous quote.

Kristen curled her lips and said nothing.

She silently watched the big ball, which slowly rotated in the lonely universe with a certain polarization angle, and Columbia was always below them. As it rotated, a pale halo slowly appeared at the edge of the planet.

It turns out that this is the sunrise in the universe.

Christen stood up straight, speechless at the vastness and beauty of the scene. She saw the stars rising slowly from the back of Terra.

"Let me watch it a little longer and record it all."

She said reluctantly.

"Okay, but we really should prepare for our descent."

Qi Yuan took a quick look and found a solemn sarcophagus in the corner of Wanxing Garden. It was dark black in color and it was unknown what material it was made of.

"Are you ready to lie down here and face the end?"

Qi Yuan gently twisted the bracelet and put the thing in, leaving Christen no chance.

The sarcophagus, also known as a home therapy device, is mainly used to heal wounds, allow Terran creatures to return to their ancestral state, block almost all attacks and construct an absolutely immortal space inside.

The energy contained in it is enormous, and one of them can make a mobile city run wild.

For Qi Yuan, who had never been injured and could get into the painting to avoid harm whenever he got the chance, this seemed useless. But it was still necessary to prevent Christen from wanting to run away halfway.

"I'll accept this sarcophagus." Qi Yuan said righteously.

-------------------------------------

The walk in the starry sky continues.

People on the ground have already started to prepare. All major newspapers have prepared two drafts, one obituary and one happy news. The people of Trimon are wandering between white flowers and colorful flowers. In the distant wasteland, the president has also ended the confrontation.

"Then I'll go wait for Mr. Qi Yuan."

"The stars are not a secret to me. They will only land in Colombia. Then I will have the agents and soldiers rush over to keep Mr. Qi Yuan in Colombia forever."

The president flapped his wings in frustration: "Goodbye, father, and my cowardice."

"hehe."
