Chapter 1428

departure hall.

Sitting on the seat waiting for the boarding of the boat, I suddenly felt a deep pain.

There was a trance in the sight, and the figures in the hall were divided into countless ways.

Biting his teeth and enduring, a drop of cold sweat slipped down his forehead and fell on the armrest of the seat. At the same time, a cold manipulator suddenly placed on the back of his hand.

The flexible polyethylene material has no temperature.

However, it's a little reassuring.

Deep in the marrow of the pain gradually receded, land boat took a deep breath, with perseverance to drive the uncomfortable feeling away from him, and then looked at the bionic man sitting next to him.

“…… Thank you. "

The bionic man nodded, didn't say anything, just gave him a smile with not too rich facial expression, and expressed "I'm here" with simple body language.

As a "long-standing" and rough economic and applicable bionic man, this is the limit it can achieve.

At this time, Professor Leonard, wearing a plaid T-shirt and leather jacket, walked up.

He didn't notice the previous unnaturalness of the boat, he said directly.

“…… I have contacted the museum willing to take over the cultural relics for you, which is in the Yangtze River Delta city cluster you are going to. After hearing that it was the cultural relics found near the hell gate, they showed great interest, and have contacted the Tiangong city authorities to issue a special electronic clearance certificate for the cultural relics. I just finished the formalities. Now we can pass the customs smoothly and take it to the spacecraft Of course, it has to be in a special box. "

Pan Asian cooperation bans guns throughout the country.

Even cultural relics must abide by the benzene based law.

Said Lu Zhou sincerely.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome," Professor Leonard shrugged as he sat next to the boat, "as a reward for your help. Say, have you thought about it? "

Lu Zhou: "what did you think about?"

"Your relatives, friends, family, children, savings, houses It's all gone. I guess you didn't buy insurance for yourself when you were freezing. You and I believe you are still alive all over the world. Where do you want to go when you have cured your illness? "

After counting his fingers and looking at the boat without saying a word, Professor Leonard continued, "my advice is, if you don't have a good idea, try to integrate into the society first. If you are interested in re education, I can find a way to help you get an offer from Oxford University. When you come out, you must have at least one degree. Of course, if you want to work first, I have an old friend who can speak at the British Museum. Last time, he seemed to mention that interns are being recruited there. "

Hearing this, Lu Zhou gave him a squint.

This guy.

No wonder he gave up the rifle so generously, and even helped him to contact the museum willing to accept cultural relics.

It turns out that the person in the picture is himself

"No, I'll talk about it later."

Professor Leonard wanted to say something more, but by this time, the radio overhead had already sent a warning tone for boarding.

Shrugged, he said helplessly.

"Well, whatever you like, I'm just giving you a choice."

In front of the gate, they lined up one by one and boarded the shuttle with the crowd.

Always following the boat, Professor Leonard faithfully acted as a guide, introducing him.

“…… This kind of thing called the shuttle is equivalent to the elevator. We take it to the space station on the high orbit, and then take the transport ship from there to the Tianzhou. "

"Tianzhou?"

"Yes, the space station in the East 8 time zone is also the Pan Asian Cooperation - even the largest space station in the world! I think this name should have something to do with your name, maybe in memory of you. "

Remember me?

The boat smiled a little embarrassed.

Although he was still worried about the uncertain future, when he saw the sky city and the surface of Mars, he did not know why he was looking forward to the return voyage a century later

……

It took only three days to return to earth from Mars.

This speed can be described as inconceivable to a century ago.

Before boarding, the ship observed that there were 12 pairs of engines behind the rectangular transport ship.

Yes, twelve pairs, that is, twenty-four. The dark openings were set at the end of the broad trapezoid.

When the twelve pairs of engines were lit together, the entire night sky outside the station seemed to be lit.

The boat saw only a long arc, and the narrow starship out of the side window was like a meteor gliding towards the sky, rushing towards a dark cold night"We're going out, too. Are we strapped?"

"Of course," he said, referring to something hanging from his waist, "I'm not the first time I've been in a space shuttle."

As soon as the voice fell, the violent shaking came from behind, followed by a current buzzing, the starry sky outside the side window was stretched like a long tail.

Professor Leonard had closed his mouth and nervously pressed the back of his head against the seat cushion.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhou couldn't help being funny.

This guy, tell yourself not to be afraid.

I'm afraid of flying.

Moving his eyes away from him, Lu Zhou noticed a child about seven or eight years old, looking out of the string window, pointing excitedly out of the window to the space station and the mother beside him.

It's like the first spaceship

"Why are there children here?"

Relieved from the initial tension, Professor Leonard took a strange look at the boat.

"Isn't that normal? There are many newborns on Mars who haven't been to the earth in their lives. It's impossible to say that even the space station is the first time How can you be curious about such things? "

I've never been to the earth in my life.

Land boat can not imagine what kind of life it was.

“…… I'm not curious, but in my opinion, low gravity seems to affect bone development. "

Professor Leonard: "it's true, but the limit that human bones can bear is mainly determined by genes, and the environment is just the influencing factor. In the past, it was popular to build some facilities called gravity chambers to provide approximate gravity through centrifugal force. Now most drugs are used, and the impact of low gravity was a problem in the early space age, but now it's not a big problem. "

Can even this kind of thing be solved by drugs?

Think of here, the heart of land boat can't help but some regrets.

It seems that the medicine of this era is really developed to an unimaginable level.

I don't know if cancer, which has plagued human civilization for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, has been solved in this era

……

Because of the virtual reality access equipment, the three-day trip is not too long.

It was also when using virtual reality access equipment that Lu Zhou found that the online game called Jialan empire was still in operation, but the operators had changed several times.

Of course, he couldn't connect to the server on earth because of the reason of being on the Starship. He could only look at the gray icon and remember for a while. Then he connected to the virtual library and downloaded some learning materials for research.

On the whole, his gains are still considerable.

Although there is no professional academic materials to study here, there are many interesting things in this virtual library.

For example, in an academic book describing the economic and social environment of the colonies, Lu Zhou learned that the steel industry and chemical industry on Mars are very developed.

There are not only abundant iron ore and titanium resources, but also frozen dry ice sea and methane lake.

And the most important thing is that the environmental protection policy here is not as strict as that on the earth, and it often issues millions of credit point tickets.

Many industries with high pollution and carbon emission have been gradually transferred from the earth to Mars since the 1970s.

There is no need to worry about pollution or greenhouse gases. Rather, some scientists hope that the greenhouse gases produced by human activities can improve the atmospheric environment of Mars and pave the way for the "climate recovery" plan of Mars hundreds of years later.

In a word, whether it can be achieved or not, there are still dreams.

In recent years, with the continuous development of various industries on Mars, more and more people begin to see this place as a dream place.

Although many people are deterred from their dreams because of the crime rate and all kinds of dangers, there are still many people with the idea of getting rich overnight on their backs and stepping on the desert.

In addition to the steel and chemical industries mentioned earlier, there is a gray industry attracting countless people's attention on Mars.

That is the excavation of the remains of Martian civilization.

A long time ago, there was a saying that the Mars civilization had the scientific and technological strength far beyond any civilization on earth. Therefore, all countries encouraged the excavation of the remains of Mars civilization, and the funds allocated to relevant research units were also quite sufficient.

Therefore, in addition to the archaeological teams affiliated to the major research institutions, there are many illegal organizations wandering in the gray area of the law, which also focus on the cake.

Whether or not there is a chip in the Martian remains that can turn the world around, the priceless relics and specimens alone are enough for them to take risks.

In addition to those industries located on the surface of Mars, Mars also plays a role of material transfer hub, undertaking the task of rough processing, transfer and transportation of minerals transported from small planets.I have to mention the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

As the largest "vein" in the solar system, which is the most abundant and easy to mine, many precious resources here have been watched by people on the earth as early as a century ago, but until the middle of the 20th century, the development of it was just beginning.

The rapid development of Mars colonization is inseparable from the rise of "asteroid belt economy".

Eighty percent of the spacecraft's material comes from the asteroid belt.

Even the latest space station deployed by Pan Asian cooperation on Mars uses almost nine materials from asteroid belt ore!

We can see from the abundance of materials there!

However, in contrast to the rich interests, there are also various dangers.

It is not only the navigation risk caused by the meteorite fragments, but also the air thief hidden behind the meteorite.

Some powerful air thieves even built pirate bases on the asteroid belt and, under the cover of meteorites, dodged the radar search of patrol ships of various countries, and traded the stolen materials with some illegal traders.

"It seems that this is a time of great material wealth and opportunity."

"When people are full, they are bored and free to be pirates..."

Looking at the research data in the holographic window, a thoughtful expression appeared on the face of Lu Zhou.

Although Professor Leonard didn't give a direct response to the previous sentence, it has been in his mind for a long time.

In fact, he didn't think about where he should go after he cured the sequela of frozen dormancy.

Maybe when all the things on earth are understood, save a sum of money, then buy a piece of land on Mars, repair the spacecraft and go to the center of the galaxy?

Go down the road to tiancang Wushang to see what kind of scenery it is.

After all, he didn't expect to be thrown into such a distant future when he made that choice

Just as Lu Zhou was worried about this matter, he suddenly remembered an important thing that he almost forgot for a century.

In other words, the treasure on Mars has also been found. It seems that I still have a reward for systematic mission.

Thinking of this, he slowly closed his eyes and silently called out a system with uneasy mood.

After so many years, I don't know if the observer forgot him.

Fortunately, the kind of thing he was worried about didn't happen.

From the moment when he accepted the three potions, his destiny was bound to the void in the dark.

When Lu Zhou opened his eyes again, the long lost pure white space came into his eyes.

At the same time, the pale blue dialog looms.

[congratulations to the host, finish the task! ]
