With a slight throbbing in his heart, Lu Zhou took a deep breath as he looked at the endless crowds of people outside the porthole.
"Professor, we are about to depart in 30 minutes. Captain Reinhardt invites you to go to the bridge to witness this moment together."
"Can't these people build an elevator?" Shi Zhenghua, who looked up at the endless corridor and grabbed the handrail with his right hand, muttered, "How long will it take to walk on two legs?" go."
That familiar face…
And after that, his journey will not end. For the sake of all living things in the universe, he will go to a place farther away than Tiankang Wu, so far away that he has no chance to return...
He was sure that he was not mistaken.
The Human Alliance has just begun to get on track, and there are still many problems waiting for him to solve.
Without saying too many farewell words, he silently stretched out his fist and lightly touched the shoulders of the three people.
…
Then, he said in a solemn tone.
It's not just the outside of the space port that's busy, it's also the same inside the port.
"Take care of yourself!"
"Then don't persuade me, just give it to me," Lu Zhou grinned and continued, "Think on the bright side in everything. Today I went to Tiancang Wu. In a few months, the territory of the Human League will be Pushing ten light years out of the solar system, this deal is worth it."
Taking his right hand away from the happy-looking Xiao Ai's head, Lu Zhou nodded slightly towards Vera, and then turned his gaze to the floor-to-ceiling window next to him.
However, just when he was about to turn around, a startling glance in his peripheral vision made him freeze.
In orbit, outside the majestic space port, long shuttle-shaped spaceships were shuttled back and forth between the port and the Galaxy parked there, loading supplies that the colonists might use into the cargo holds.
Although there was nothing to see here, he still wanted to see it for a while.
"...Are you really planning to leave?"
"Because killing enthusiasm is the meaning in itself," the stranger smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "You can't sustain a journey of ten light years just by relying on enthusiasm, instead of encountering countless difficulties and difficulties during the journey. The longing for my hometown kills my enthusiasm, so it would be better to think things over here before boarding the ship."
Just looking at the people bidding farewell, as well as the colonists who turned their backs to their hometown and were embarking on their journey to the new world...
"No one is willing to give up," Li Guangya looked at Lu Zhou intently. After being silent for a while, he suddenly sighed softly, "But I know that even if I want to persuade you, I won't be able to do so alone."
Although there is no gravity here, it really feels unfriendly to keep walking forward like this.
His room is located at the top near the boarding ramp. The floor-to-ceiling windows here have the widest view and overlook the entire ramp...
The endless gangway facing the window seemed to have gradually reached its end with the surging crowd.
"Besides wasting time, there is no point at all," Shi Zhenghua curled his lips and said in a nonchalant tone, "Would I stand here without careful consideration? Apart from killing my enthusiasm, I don't see the slightest chance of doing this. meaning."
Wang Peng didn't say anything.
is her…
Gently rubbing the diamond ring box in his pocket with his index finger, Lu Zhou took one last look at the sparse crowd.
There are no small launch spacecrafts or escalators. Whether they are passengers in first class, colonists in ordinary economy class, or employees employed by Star Technology, they have to go through this long ladder to get up. Board the Galaxy.
"Well," with a smile on his face, Lu Zhou nodded slightly, stretched out his other hand that wasn't being held, and rubbed his long plastic hair, "Thank you."
The expression on his face straightened, and he looked at Lu Zhou seriously before Li Guangya said.
Giving Li Guangya a confident smile, Lu Zhou then looked at Wang Peng, Li Gaoliang, and the older Director Li who were standing next to him.
As usual, he was not the type to talk a lot, especially on such an occasion, he didn't know what to say.
"On this five-kilometer journey to the Galaxy, every step leaves you with a chance to regret it," the stranger shrugged and continued, "Leaving your hometown and heading to a world ten light years away, maybe it's still possible It’s a one-way ticket... So there is a saying that the journey to the Galaxy itself is also a buffer period for passengers.”
"I see."
At this time, footsteps suddenly came from outside the captain's room. After two gentle knocks on the door, Vera, holding a tablet on her chest, walked in from the outside and spoke in a soft voice.
It's like needles threading a needle and thread, weaving an invisible web.
"Master, Xiao Ai will always be with you."
"It would be dangerous if two massive spacecraft are too close together, especially when large-scale mass exchange occurs like now," seemed to have heard his complaint, the stranger walking next to him smiled and said, " Of course, I’ve heard another theory.”
Taking things back from the endless crowd outside the front window, Li Guangya looked at Lu Zhou standing next to him and said with a tone full of reluctance.
Unable to bear to let this parting atmosphere continue, Lu Zhou said goodbye to his old friend, and met with Xiao Qiao one last time. After explaining what he wanted her to do, he turned around and boarded the Galaxy.
His face was full of emotion, and Lu Zhou's Adam's apple moved slightly, but in the end he restrained the emotions that were about to overflow.
The bustling crowd was passing through the steel corridor leading to the Galaxy, boarding the flight to Amakura Five under the guidance of the flight attendants...
Shi Zhenghua: "...What do you mean?"
He stretched out his fist and touched Lu Zhou's shoulder lightly, and said in a solemn tone.
"I thought it was enough trouble for me to participate in the plan to reinforce the future when I was old. I didn't expect you to be more troublesome than me." Director Li sighed, stared at Lu Zhou, and continued in a serious tone, "Outside Take care of yourself, come back and visit if you feel homesick, and don’t forget that there are still many people on earth who miss you.”
Although these Z governance issues are not Lu Zhou's expertise, and usually this scholar who focuses on scientific research is not willing to express any opinions on this, but in any case, having this big boss in the solar system can at least psychologically Li Guangya felt more at ease.
"necessary."
That is a place more distant than Mars.
At the same time, in the space port not far away.
"Don't make it seem like you are parting from life or death. Now that the super-light technology has broken through, it's only a few dozen days to go 10 light-years away. Come back often when you have time!" Li Gaoliang looked at the silent Lu Zhou. He smiled heartily and broke the silence, "It's okay if you're not free. I'll come find you another day when I'm free."
He opened his mouth. He originally had a lot to say, but at this moment he couldn't.
As if sensing Lu Zhou's reluctance, Xiao Ai, who was standing next to Lu Zhou, gently held his hand.
I have to say that the corridor leading from the space port to the Galaxy is really long and a bit unfriendly.
"Well, so are you..."
He will soon set off to a world ten light years away...
"I have been planning this trip for a long time, and now I have finally waited for the day of departure," Lu Zhou said in a half-joking tone, looking at Li Guangya who was reluctant to leave me. "What? You don't want to leave me anymore?"
Li Guangya smiled bitterly and said: "This is not a question of whether to lose or not... forget it."
"The moment has finally arrived."
"Bon Voyage."
"Take care of yourself."
