October 1st.
Quanjiu Launch Center.
"salute!"
With the order, everyone present saluted to the phalanx in front.
Among the crowd, Liu Peiqiang felt a layer of mist rising in front of his eyes.
Zhang Peng is in the square formation in front.
Today is the day when Kuafu plans to reach heaven.
In the square formation, Zhang Peng saluted back. His eyes passed through the crowd and saw Liu Peiqiang, Han Duoduo, and 'Han Ziang'.
Today, he is very happy.
Although there are thousands of people, I will go!
Even though he knew this was a fatal mission, he still felt relaxed.
Nothing is more important than finding faith.
Today, he will embark on a new journey - the sea of stars!
He firmly believes that humans will finally conquer the New Sea one day!
And he is willing to become firewood, and he is happy for it!
"salute!"
"put!"
boom!
boom!
The heavy cannons standing on both sides of the launch pad roared powerfully.
The ceremony is over.
Zhang Peng took a step forward, first saluted to those who were seeing him off, and then turned around to face the phalanx.
"Everyone has it!"
"stand at attention!"
"Take a break!"
"stand at attention!"
"To the left!"
"Set off!"
After saying that, Zhang Peng followed the phalanx and walked towards the launch pad with sonorous steps.
He did not say goodbye to Liu Peiqiang again.
It's not necessary, it just adds to the sadness.
What should be done has been done a long time ago, not least this time.
'Master, it's all smooth sailing! '
Not far away, Liu Peiqiang silently recited a blessing in his heart.
Although they all went to die, he believed that Zhang Peng would definitely want to sacrifice more valuable things.
In the vast sea of stars, human beings are too small and too ignorant. No one knows whether they will encounter danger.
boom!
boom!
boom!
At this time, the salute sounded again, followed by the sound of the orchestra.
At the same time, hundreds of millions of people were bidding farewell on the Internet, and the barrages in the live broadcast room had gathered into an ocean.
The wind is blowing, the rain is raining, and I see you off for a thousand miles!
Looking at Liu Peiqiang with red eyes, Han Duoduo sighed in his heart.
At the beginning, she also came forward to persuade Uncle Zhang, but unfortunately, Uncle Zhang's attitude was too firm, and everyone in the family, including his father, tried to persuade him.
But without exception, they all came back in vain.
Later, Liu Peiqiang also accepted the fact that Zhang Peng participated in the Kuafu Project. During that time, Liu Peiqiang's behavior was normal.
But today it seems that during that time, Liu Peiqiang was probably holding back the pain in his heart.
Until now, when it was time to say goodbye, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
Suddenly, Han Duoduo remembered something. From the time she met Liu Peiqiang until now, it seemed that she had never seen him cry.
Uncle Zhang's weight in his heart was far heavier than he imagined. Much heavier.
the other side.
After stepping into the flight cabin, Zhang Peng couldn't hold himself any longer. Tears streaked across his cheeks and trickled down along the wrinkles on his face.
ten minutes later.
boom!
The spacecraft's engine started igniting water as scheduled, and the azure tail flame bloomed like the blue sky in the past.
boom!
boom!
The nuclear-powered scientific research spacecraft slowly climbed upwards. Zhang Peng stood in front of the porthole and looked down calmly.
None of the people seeing him off left. They all stood in place, looking up at the spacecraft that was gradually losing its gravity.
Although there were many people seeing him off, Zhang Peng still saw Liu Peiqiang at a glance.
'Peiqiang, I wish you everlasting immortality! '
Like Liu Peiqiang, Zhang Peng also silently sent his blessings in his heart.
Although he can't see that day, his will will accompany Liu Peiqiang and accompany Liu Peiqiang all the way up.
Isn't this a kind of inheritance and a continuation?
…
…
…
In the blink of an eye, another decade has passed.
"Master, are you almost at the orbit of Venus?"
Looking at the holographic screen in front of him, Liu Peiqiang's expression was very complicated.
The journey to stardom is long, but no matter how long it is, it has an end.
The scientific research team that set out ten years ago arrived in the orbit of Venus early this morning.
Venus is also the last stop on their flight to the sun.
A month later, the remaining five scientific research spacecraft will run towards the sun from different directions at the same time until they turn into space torches.
"Well, it's time..."
The communication signal on Zhang Peng's side was a bit poor, and even the few words sounded intermittent.
This is the ultra-long-distance communication system that humans have spent more than ten years developing.
Without the new system, it is estimated that even real-time contact would not be possible.
"Master, how do you feel now?"
"Is there any discomfort?"
A ten-year voyage is actually not too long. With the current level of science and technology of mankind, it is definitely not a problem for a spacecraft that has gathered the crystallization of all mankind's science and technology to fly safely for ten years.
But no matter how good the quality is, it cannot withstand surprises.
Originally, there were a total of ten scientific research spacecraft this time, but so far, only five of the ten spacecraft are left.
Of the five ships that lost contact, one was destroyed by the rebels, and three of the ships encountered radiation storms, and all electronic equipment was destroyed.
On the last ship, the crew became sick due to a surge in solar radiation.
"fine."
Zhang Peng laughed loudly and said: "Your master and I are in excellent health. Not only me, but everyone else on our ship is also fine."
"Eh?"
"Peiqiang, please tell Duoduo about this later. I found that older people seem to be more tolerant to radiation."
"What's the point?"
"Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. The older you get, the worse your body's function will be. Under the same radiation environment, older people should not be able to withstand it first."
"Um."
"I will tell Duoduo."
Although the large-scale solar helium flash has still not occurred, it has been confirmed that the sun's activity is becoming more and more intense.
The spacecraft code-named 008 is the best proof.
Therefore, even if Zhang Peng and the others did not run towards the sun, the human government understood one thing.
Humans, there is no way out!
Staying in the solar system means waiting to die!
Coming to this conclusion, the coalition government immediately issued a global press conference.
However, the effect of the press conference was not ideal.
To be precise, among those in Western countries, the credibility of this kind of news is very low. Even if it is endorsed by a major Eastern country, they still don't believe it.
After all, those politicians have made too much noise in the past ten years.
If there is too much panic, credibility will inevitably decline.
If it weren't for those politicians wielding force, I'm afraid the people below would have rioted long ago.
