Start with a blacksmith shop - Chapter 363 The wanderer returns home
One is remote observation, and the other is field investigation. The gap between them is actually quite big. Even if Snowy Owl and others don’t use many professional terms, they have the most knowledge about certain phenomena on Mars.
Just like the phenomenon of meteorite falling, it is not something that ordinary scientists can encounter, and the meteorite falling on Mars is just one of the experiences of Snow Owl and the others on Mars.
Fortunately, the food they had locked on the plane was almost exhausted, which also put a countdown to their return.
After making sure that they still had enough food for their return trip, the Snow Owls and others took the aerospace plane into the high altitude of Mars, controlled the plane and flew around Mars for the final time.
The astronauts circled around and stopped somewhere in the sky of Mars. Everyone stood in front of the aircraft porthole and looked at Mars below through the thick porthole glass.
After taking a final look at Mars, which they had lived on for more than four months, the aerospace plane turned its nose and flew away from Mars.
When the aerospace plane ascended into the low-Earth orbit of Mars, the plane stopped again. Snow Owl stood up from his driving seat and came to stand in front of everyone.
“Everyone, our five-month journey to Mars is now coming to an end, and we are about to embark on our journey home.
During this period of time, I believe that everyone must have some feelings about the planet in front of us. There are many unforgettable memories left on our planet, and I believe that everyone will never forget them.
So now, let us take another look at Mars, which we have been fighting for for more than five months, and let us say goodbye to it! “
After Snow Owl finished speaking, all the astronauts stood up silently, looked at Mars through the portholes again, and silently said goodbye to Mars below in their hearts!
Everyone said goodbye to the sparks in their hearts, and then they officially embarked on their way home.
The aerospace plane adjusted its flight trajectory, slowly began to increase speed, and flew towards the only harbor in their hearts.
After the aerospace plane opened various protective measures, it slowly accelerated their flight speed. After the Snow Owl and others on the plane set foot on their way home, their hearts were mostly relieved.
They had been busy working on an extremely unfamiliar planet for several months. During this time, they had not relaxed, but this time they felt a little relaxed.
But they still haven’t completely let go of the string in their hearts, because they still have about a month of flight to go, and they still don’t know what they will encounter later. Fortunately, they have already cleared the way when they come. Walked through it again.
Although they walked this road once, it did not help them much on their return journey. This is because in the universe, celestial bodies are always moving, so it is impossible to return the same way. It only gave them some more experience. That’s all.
Fortunately, the current situation is much better than when they were on Mars, and they are all more relaxed. When they were on Mars before, almost all of them did not go back to the living area to have a good sleep.
They were on their way home. When everything was running normally, the two astronauts on duty were left in the cockpit, and the others went directly back to the living area to have a good sleep.
Of course, the duties are also rotated with each other, which also allows all astronauts to get sufficient rest.
On Earth, in the command center of the Kyushu Space Agency, the command center seems extremely crowded at the moment. Why is this?
Because after the school sent back various data from Mars, the space agency invited more and more scientists to study it, and many big names in astrophysics all received the invitation.
However, due to confidentiality considerations, they were unable to go back, so the command center seemed a bit crowded.
At this time, the leaders of the space agency were sitting at a table in a corner of the command center, and they were discussing something.
Just now, they received a message from Mars, and this message was sent back by Snow Owl and the others. As for this message, it was just a text, and the content said that they were already on their way back.
And what these people are gathering together to discuss at this moment is exactly how to deal with the situation when the aerospace plane comes back, whether to openly welcome their return, or to keep their return secret.
The gap between these two options is actually quite large. If they choose to make their return public, it will have a huge impact on many things, including whether some of the things the astronauts have obtained on Mars will also be made public.
Why should Kyushu make public what they have worked hard to achieve? If they do not choose to disclose some basic information, it will definitely cause denunciation of Kyushu in international public opinion.
Arguing that Mars is not just for Kyushu but for all mankind is troublesome anyway.
Choosing to keep it secret was an injustice to the astronauts, and the leaders present were all involved in discussions.
The leaders did not discuss how to deal with it in the end, and finally reported the matter to the superiors. This issue should be left to the bosses above to decide.
The big bosses have set the tone very directly on this matter. In the opinion of the big bosses, Kyushu now has enough confidence to face everything, and there is no need for outsiders to comment on Kyushu’s affairs. Fourth, the bosses will show their domineering power unconsciously.
After the big guys set the tone, the Kyushu Space Administration immediately acted within the tone set by the big guys.
The first is the arrangement in terms of public opinion. On the night when Snow Owl and others set out on their way home, news about the Martian passengers returning home appeared on the news program of Jiuzhou TV.
As soon as this news was broadcast, the entire Kyushu was excited. Some time ago, they had just digested the news of sending an expedition team to Mars. Not long ago, the Mars expedition team was coming back.
Because of this exciting news, the people of Kyushu once again started a carnival, and various celebrations were organized spontaneously by the people.
After this news was broadcast, space agencies in other countries around the world were also shocked again. Although they all knew that the expedition team from Kyushu to Mars would come back one day, they did not expect it to be so soon.
It doesn’t take long at all. The people who went to Mars are about to come back. But when I think about it again, it’s actually not short, it’s been more than five months.
Then various space agencies developed a sense of anxiety and urgency. Some agencies have not yet figured out the matter of manned spaceflight, and now they are actually facing the situation of Kyushu returning from Mars.
The most intense reaction was from Nasa. Even though they already knew that they had fallen behind others in extraterrestrial exploration, they wanted to work hard to catch up, but they also lamented the difficulty. It is not that they can catch up with hard work.
Especially their plan to return to the moon has been experiencing frequent problems in the past six months, making them feel helpless.
After being helpless, Nasar sent an intention to cooperate in joint research to the Kyushu Space Agency, which is something only a big-faced old man can do.
The result was that the Jiuzhou Space Administration did not restrain them at all, not even a simple feedback.
This made them angry but also extremely helpless. What could they do when they were stronger than others? I can only do it honestly.
…
The aerospace plane flew in the direction of the earth in the dark space. The Snow Owl and the others once again spent more than twenty days in the closed space of the plane.
During this period of time, they had completely recovered. After recovering, they also had a lot of free time. Just like when they came, they became masters of watching dramas on the plane.
Everyone who was tired of watching the show found mahjong, poker and other things in the living area of the plane, and everyone played mahjong in the universe. They were the first to play mahjong in space.
They spent more than twenty days playing various games. Snow Owl had just finished playing a round of mahjong and came to the cockpit to take a look at the situation. After checking, nothing happened. He stood there again. On the airplane window.
In the dark universe, right in front of them, a crystal sphere was getting bigger and bigger. Now they could see from their position that the blue and white textures on it were intertwined with each other, and there was a layer of light wrapped around the sphere. A thin layer of aqua blue gauze.
In the eyes of the snowy owl, this planet is so beautiful, and this cradle of life is always so spectacular and kind.
‘Earth, I’m finally back! ’ Snow Owl secretly said in his heart, and there was also a feeling of cowardice in his heart.
Suddenly he felt that the earth was so kind. It was great for him to be able to see the earth again.
“Commander, boss, boss, what’s wrong with you? Why are you standing there motionless? Is there anything going on outside the window? I didn’t see it on the radar!” The astronaut on duty saw the snowy owl. Standing in front of the window, he didn’t move for a long time, and then he asked.
After he heard someone asking him, the Snow Owl finally came to his senses, but still stood in front of the porthole and replied to the team members behind him.
“It’s okay, don’t be nervous, I’m just looking at the earth, come here!”
The astronaut on duty was also curious. He didn’t know what the snow owl had seen, and he was so fascinated. He also got up from his seat and walked to the window.
When he stood next to the snowy owl, he nuzzled at the astronaut from the Congo and motioned for him to look towards the earth.
“Look at the earth in front of us. It’s really beautiful. In my heart, it is the most beautiful planet. No one can replace it!”
At this time, the astronauts also understood what the snow owl was looking at. In fact, it was not just looking at the earth, but also placing its own feelings on the earth.
The two stood in front of the window, staring ahead at the earth that was getting closer and closer to them.
In the next few days, Snow Owl called together the team members who had been flying in the living area for more than 20 days, and also moved various exercise equipment out of the warehouse.
In order to prevent himself and others from being too undisciplined after returning to Earth, Snow Owl led everyone to do restorative training.
After a few days of training, their overall spirits have recovered, and they are no longer as sloppy as they were before due to various gadgets.
They were ready to return to Earth in their best condition, and after another few days of flying, their aerospace plane finally rushed on its way and stopped at the Tiangong Space Station.
On Earth, Jiuzhou TV once again dedicated a satellite channel to broadcast news about the Mars Exploration Team.
Moreover, after the aerospace planes were detected on the earth, there was always a split screen in the program showing the footage from the satellite of the aerospace planes gradually approaching the earth.
At this moment, all the people in Kyushu who were paying attention to this matter also saw the scene of the aerospace plane slowly approaching the earth. When they saw such a scene, the people of Kyushu on the entire earth couldn’t help but feel anxious in their hearts. Proud emotion.
Although they are not floating in the vast universe like astronauts, their hearts are always thinking about these wanderers who have left home. When they see the plane parked near the Tiangong, the people’s hearts are also worried. Finally let it go.
When the space shuttle entered low-Earth orbit again, all the staff in the Jiuzhou Space Administration’s command center applauded enthusiastically, and cheers rang out again in the entire hall.
For today’s aerospace aircraft, as long as they return to the earth’s low-Earth orbit, it means that the mission is considered a success.
Just because Kongtianfei wants to return to the earth from low-Earth orbit, this task is not difficult at all. It can be said that the earth and the return to the earth are as simple as drinking water.
When Snow Owl and the others stopped at the edge of the Heavenly Palace, they finally connected to the earth’s network. From this moment on, the connection between them and the earth no longer had the same delay as before.
Instant communication was also restored at this time, and all members of the exploration team were once again seen on the big screen of the Kyushu Space Administration’s command center.
There were only a few people when they set out, and only a few people came back. No one was missing.
As long as no one comes back, their Mars exploration mission will be considered a complete success. What’s more, they brought back a lot of exclusive information on Mars, which is even more of a success.
Snow Owl and others saluted solemnly in front of the camera, and their actions simultaneously appeared on the big screen in the command center.
“Reporting that this Mars exploration mission has been successfully completed, Snow Owl and all members of the exploration team have returned to the organization!”
The on-site conductor standing in front of the big screen felt particularly excited after hearing the snow owl’s words.
“Okay, okay, just come back!”
At this moment, in the prairie of Mengzi, Kyushu, in a very ordinary-looking Iveco car, Li Zhenhua was holding Xiao Lizi and Li Yun close together in his arms, watching the TV in front of him.
What was being broadcast on TV was the scene of the snowy owl talking to the command center.
