Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Xia Guo Astronaut Scientific Research and Training Base.

Bai Yixuan walked out of the centrifuge cockpit with empty steps.

As a Xia Guo astronaut, overweight adaptation training is his daily fixed training program.

Although he has trained for countless days and nights, the pain caused by the centrifuge has not eased at all.

He slowly exhaled a breath and turned to look at the centrifuge behind him.

I don’t know when Xia Guo’s space station project will be completed.

Thinking of this, Bai Yixuan's eyes dimmed a bit.

He had heard some rumors recently.

The upper management seems to be canceling the original space station project.

Even some planned manned space missions face the risk of being canceled at any time.

In this way... where is the future for these astronauts?

Bai Yixuan sighed deeply.

Just as he was packing up his messy mood and preparing to head to the next training facility, a broadcast sound came from the loudspeaker next to him.

"Bai Yixuan, Hong Fan, Xia Wanyi."

"Today's training mission is cancelled. Please go to the lobby on the first floor immediately after hearing the announcement!"

Bai Yixuan's eyes moved slightly.

Hong Fan, Xia Wanyi...

Not only did he know these two people, but he was also very familiar with them.

To be precise, the three of them are all preliminary members of the Xia State Space Station project.

Could it be said that...the space station project is making progress?

Thinking of this, Bai Yixuan's eyes flashed with excitement.

…

Elevator entrance.

"Brother Xuan!"

A crisp call came from behind Bai Yixuan.

Bai Yixuan's eyes moved slightly and he turned his head to look.

The moment he saw the visitor, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

"Wanyi, how's your recent training going?"

"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for several days, right?"

Xia Wanyi smiled and nodded: "I've taken leave these days, so it's normal for Brother Xuan that you can't see me."

"Ask for leave?" Bai Yixuan's eyes moved slightly and he asked quickly, "What happened?"

Xia Wanyi fell into silence.

After a long time, she sighed softly and whispered: "I may have to quit."

"What?! Quit?!" Bai Yixuan's pupils shrank suddenly and he exclaimed!

At the same time, another hoarse male voice sounded from a distance: "Wanyi, what did you say? Do you want to quit?!"

Hearing this highly recognizable voice, Bai Yixuan quickly turned around, stretched out his hand in the direction of the voice and said hello.

"Brother Xuan, what's going on? It's so good, why is Wanyi quitting?"

Hong Fan hurriedly ran to the two of them and asked in a low voice.

Bai Yixuan shrugged and cast doubtful eyes on Xia Wanyi, who looked gloomy next to him.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Well, why did you suddenly quit? Have you forgotten that the three of us are a group?"

Xia Wanyi bit her lips gently, a look of confusion flashed in her eyes.

"Brother Xuan, I'm sorry..."

"I got the exact news from the elders in my family a few days ago."

"The Xia State Space Station project has been confirmed to be cancelled!"

"so……"

The moment Xia Wanyi's voice fell, Bai Yixuan and Hong Fan's breaths suddenly suffocated!

Although he was somewhat expecting this result, Bai Yixuan still couldn't control his emotions the moment he heard the exact news.

He stretched out his hand and hammered the wall next to him.

"Damn it...what happened to Xia Guo!"

"Why was the space station plan suddenly canceled!"

Xia Wanyi slowly shook her head: "I don't know the specific reason, but...I heard that it was the order personally issued by the chairman of the council."

This sentence completely shattered the remaining luck in the hearts of the two of them.

Hong Fan's eyes dimmed instantly. After a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Then... what should we do?"

The three astronauts fell silent.

Bai Yixuan sighed deeply.

Yeah, what should they do.

They have been preparing for the space station project for several years!

Not only various trainings on the ground, but also space missions, the three of them have performed more than once!

As an astronaut who has carried out several space missions, after experiencing the zero-gravity environment in space, he always imagined being able to return to space one day.

The space station project proposed by Xia Guo some time ago is the best way for him to return to space.

But now, with just one sentence, all their efforts were in vain!

Bai Yixuan deeply experienced the feeling of "the collapse of the Taoist heart".

"bite!"

The sound of the elevator arriving broke the silence between the three of them.

"The elevator is here, let's... get down."

Bai Yixuan had a very sad smile on his face and took the lead towards the elevator.

The moment he entered the elevator, Bai Yixuan's eyes flashed with deep confusion.

The broadcast told them to go down... was it to tell them the news alone?

…

The elevator runs very fast.

In just a few dozen seconds, with a crisp beep, the elevator door slowly opened.

The incandescent sunlight shines on the snow-white tiles, bringing an extremely strong reflection.

Bai Yixuan subconsciously closed his eyes.

The strong light signal passes through the retina, through the optic nerve, optic chiasm and optic tract, and then through the superior colliculus arm to the pretectal area.

Under the electrical signal of the oculomotor nerve, the pupillary sphincter began to contract.

In just a few seconds, Bai Yixuan adapted to the strong light in the hall.

In the bright hall, there stood two tall men.

Bai Yixuan's eyes moved slightly.

He recognized the man facing them.

That was Hong Qiming, the Minister of Science and Technology of Xia.

"Minister Hong... why is he here?"

Xia Wanyi whispered from the side.

Bai Yixuan moved his lips slightly without making a sound: "I don't know, let's take it one step at a time."

"Anyway, we already know the worst situation..."

Hearing this, Hong Fan and Xia Wanyi suddenly showed a bitter smile in their eyes.

That's right.

Now it's the worst situation.

"They are here!"

The moment he saw Bai Yixuan and the other two, Hong Qiming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted to the three people: "Why are you standing there! Come over here!"

...

Lu Yongchang slowly turned around and looked at the three people with a deep gaze.

The moment he saw Bai Yixuan and the other two, he subconsciously frowned.

Why do I feel that... these three so-called elite astronauts are not in a good mental state?

Before he could say anything, Hong Qiming on the side smiled and introduced them.

"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Professor Lu Yongchang, the first director of the Xia National Space Administration."

"Professor Lu, these three are the three reserve members of the original space station project. I remember... they have three space flight experiences!"

As soon as Hong Qiming finished speaking, the eyes of the three people suddenly lit up.

Space Administration? !
