"It turns out that their development in the aerospace field has reached this level. This is really amazing!" In the command hall of the Kendini Launch Center, Terblanco, who had watched the entire rescue process, had a complex expression on his face, without hiding it at all. The admiration in my heart.

Previously, as the chief technology officer of the Space Exploration Technology Company, he developed starships to a world-leading level.

There is no doubt that he has his own pride.

They firmly believe that the aerospace technology their company possesses has already stood at the top of the aerospace field.

That's why when Xu Yun and others started the moon base project, he felt that it was impossible to complete.

After all, even their Space Exploration Technology Company is not sure of doing it, let alone the space agency which is still developing and researching.

It can be said that failure is inevitable.

However, in the end things turned out to be completely different from what he expected.

The aerospace office where Xu Yun worked not only overcame many difficulties, but actually completed the plan to build a lunar base and successfully sent three astronauts to live on the moon.

Let human civilization take another step forward in the exploration of space.

The impact is simply impossible to estimate.

Look at them.

So many changes occurred just in restarting the moon landing. In the end, the lunar lander malfunctioned, causing the two astronauts to be trapped on the moon and had to rely on others for assistance.

Especially after watching the rescue process, I further realized the gap in technological development between the two sides in the aerospace field.

Only then did he realize how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.

Just a lunar rover is so advanced, let alone other important spacecraft.

And when these thoughts emerged in his mind, he even felt that it was not too far away for humans to develop lunar resources.

at the same time.

Musk next to him also breathed a sigh of relief.

So this time, people were lost all over the world, but at least the lives of the two astronauts were guaranteed.

"This matter has finally come to an end for the time being. There was no loss of life, which is not particularly bad."

Zi Guzi sighed, and then he turned his attention to Nibisen, the head of the Aeronautics and Space Administration next to him.

He naturally knew that Nibisen's mood was not much better at the moment, so Shan hesitated briefly and chose to take the initiative to talk.

First, he coughed tactically, and then asked: "Now that our astronauts have moved into the other party's lunar base, Sir Nibisen, I wonder what we need to do next?" After saying that, he stopped talking and waited patiently for the other party's answer. .

The news of the lander's accident was not only announced to the world, but the entire rescue process was live broadcast around the world.

These were like slaps to his face.

It can be said that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has lost face and caused a bad impact.

If nothing else, it would be very difficult for him as the person in charge to continue working.

After all, he didn't do a good job with space-based weapons.

It would be weird if she could be in a better mood after forcing herself into this situation.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is a fire in his stomach now.

But I still can't vent it out.

In response, he could only breathe in the air and force himself to calm down.

When he felt a little better, he turned around.

"What else can be done?"

"Hurry up and launch a new spacecraft to bring our people back." Nibisen said to Musk in a very unhappy manner. At the end, he did not forget to add: "In addition, the rescue expenses for this time will be settled as soon as possible."

When he mentioned this, he wanted to curse even more. He was eager to ask for the rescue fee even though the rescue had just ended. Could it be that he was afraid that an aerospace agency as big as theirs would default on the debt?

But whoever asked the two astronauts to stay in the other's base could only do as required.

Otherwise, if we make a big fuss about this matter and let the outside world know about it, I'm afraid there will be no room for redemption of our image.

As for launching a spacecraft to bring back the two astronauts as soon as possible, they were also afraid that Xu Yun would open his mouth.

It’s money to stay at other people’s bases for one more day!

Musk naturally has no objection to Nibisen’s words.

This cooperation between the two parties has forced the situation to become like this. He also wants to end this cooperation as soon as possible, and has decided not to cooperate with the official from now on.

Next, their company's focus will still be on the starship. Whether Xu Yun joins or not, he will continue to fight to realize his dream of a Mars community.

"We will arrange a second launch as soon as possible."

"I guarantee there will be no accidents this time."

"I hope so." Nibisen raised his gaze after hearing the sound, and finally left these words and walked outside.

The astronaut's matter was over, but he needed to make a detailed report to the commander-in-chief.

It is even more unclear whether he can keep his position.

Half a month has passed since the NASA lander accident. During this period, a new spacecraft was launched again and successfully landed in the area near the lunar base.

Successfully brought two astronauts back to the ground from the moon.

This also announced that this incident has come to an end, and the aerospace industry has become calmer.

It is worth mentioning that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration did not mention the moon landing again.

It seems that they are planning to abandon the moon completely.

Set your sights on Mars.

As for Nie Shengdong and other three astronauts in the Yuegong-1 base, they need to continue to live in the base for two and a half months.

During this period, various scientific experiments and detections will also be completed.

At the same time, Xu Yun also had new arrangements here, and was ready to take a good rest and give himself a holiday.

Spend time with your family.

From the research and development of quantum computers after the formation of the fourth generation to the completion of the construction of the lunar base, it can be said that most of his time has been spent at work.

The time spent with family has been significantly reduced compared to before.

In addition, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the moon landing this month, he even missed his daughter's birthday.

Anyway, the aerospace industry has entered a stable period at this stage, and in the future, further exploration of the moon can only be carried out based on the lunar base.

There is still a long way to go before we can truly realize the development of lunar resources.

Of course, before returning to Jingzhou City, he did not forget to say goodbye to Zhou Mingwei, Zhang Feng and the others.

——

"To tell you the truth, I really can't bear to have you leave."

After Zhou Mingwei from the Aerospace Office learned the news that Xu Yun was leaving, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Before Xu Yun participated in the manned space project, they were still working hard to land manned on the moon, and they still faced many unresolved technical problems.

But with the addition of Xu Yun, everything became no longer a problem.

Not only did they quickly develop the latest generation of lunar rover, they also designed a feasible plan for building a lunar base.

This allowed the aerospace project to directly skip the manned moon landing and complete the construction of the lunar base.

How could these alone make Xu Yun leave?

However, they also understand that Xu Yun does not belong to the Aerospace Technology Group, and it is indeed difficult to make progress in the aerospace field in a short time.

So even though I felt reluctant to give up, I still respected Xu Yun's decision.

At this time, Zhang Feng, who was standing next to him, hesitated for a moment and then said, "Why don't you stay for a while longer? I'm afraid of the Shenwei System if you leave..."

Although Zhang Feng didn't finish his words in the end, Xu Yun immediately understood what was going on when he heard about the Shenwei system.

Zhang Feng is responsible for the deployment of the Shenwei system. Although this project is going smoothly as a national shield, the deployment of all orbital platforms has not yet been completed.

It will still take some time before this important tool can really work.

Because he is still here, the deployment of the Shenwei system can be solved in time even if any emergencies arise.

Zhang Feng is simply worried that if there is a situation that cannot be handled quickly, it will affect the deployment progress of the entire system.

But before he could respond, the voice of office director Bai Ruisong suddenly came to mind:

"How about this? I'll apply to the superiors and try to see if I can transfer Academician Xu directly to the Aerospace Science and Technology Group."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately received support from Zhou Mingwei and Zhang Feng.

"This is a good suggestion. Anyway, Xu Yuan is also an academician of the Academy of Engineering, so it doesn't violate any relevant regulations."

"If it can really be done, it will be easy to handle."

Xu Yun listened to all the discussions of the three people, and he couldn't laugh or cry about this in his heart.

Unexpectedly, they would consider any means to make themselves stay.

Although Xu Yun didn't want to attack them, he also knew that it would not be easy to transfer him to the Aerospace Science and Technology Group. At least Hou Shengchang of the Academy of Sciences would not be able to pass it.

In addition, he didn't really want to join the Aerospace Science and Technology Group. Besides, he returned to Jingzhou City this time just for a vacation.

It’s not like I’m completely ignoring aerospace engineering matters.

After all, he worked tirelessly to build the moon base, and he definitely hopes for better development in the future.

So in order to reassure the three people in front of him, he had no choice but to explain with a smile.

"I am just going back this time to give myself a vacation to spend time with my family. Even if I am responsible for new scientific research projects in the future, I will help solve any problems with the Shenwei system or the moon."

"So you three big brothers just keep your heart in your stomach."

After Zhou Mingwei, Zhang Feng and Bai Ruisong heard what Xu Yun said, they immediately felt very embarrassed.

Among them, Bai Ruisong, the director of the office, immediately said: "In that case, I will personally pay for a dinner tonight, call all the people in the project team, and treat it as a farewell to Academician Xu." After he finished speaking, he looked at Ask Xu Yun for advice.

Speaking of which, Xu Yun has indeed stayed here for a long time, and has become quite familiar with the members of the project team after working together these days.

Naturally, he would not have any objections to Bai Ruisong's proposal.

"Okay, let's have a drink today."

He nodded in agreement.

that's all.

In the evening, Xu Yun arrived at the reserved hotel on time. In addition to Zhou Mingwei, Zhang Feng and others, there were also members of the project team, making the atmosphere quite lively and harmonious.

It can be regarded as a small celebration party for the successful completion of the project in advance.

The next day.

Xu Yun took a special car back to Jingzhou under the escort of a special person.

With his current status, his value and significance cannot be measured specifically, so there must be no risk or surprise.

For this reason, the security personnel around him are not only covert but also exaggerated on the surface.

For example, this time he took the high-speed train back to Jingzhou. There were no passengers in the car he was in, and other seats besides him were filled with security personnel.

It is no exaggeration to say that no one can get close to his body now.

Although this situation will definitely have a certain impact on his life, there is nothing that can be done about it, especially after the advent of space-based weapons, it is unknown how many people will have trouble sleeping.

Fortunately, he doesn't like to go out much and spends most of his time in the hospital doing research.

However, this also caused the car he was riding in to be followed by many vehicles after arriving in Jingzhou. He did not know how many people's attention and eyes he attracted on the road.

Everyone thought some big shot was coming.

Chen Shihe knew that her husband would be back today, so she waited patiently at home with her two children.

After deciding to be with Xu Yun and witnessing his rise to prominence in the mathematics world and being hailed as a genius scientist, she knew that Xu Yun would not stay at home for long.

Because there are more important things to do.

And she felt happy to have such a husband.

So she supports Xu Yun's work unconditionally.

All she needs to do is educate her two children well and help Xu Yun honor his mother.

Over the years, she has not complained at all and is happy with it.

What's more, Xu Yun is not someone who doesn't care about her family at all. No matter how busy she is at work, she will always find time to come back. This has left her with no regrets in her life.

"Mom, is dad really coming back today?"

Seven-year-old Xu Ningxuan asked with anticipation on the sofa in the living room. She couldn't wait to see her father whom she hadn't seen for a while.

She is already in elementary school and is very sensible. She also knows that her father is a very powerful scientist and is doing great work, so she is not angry at all even if she misses her birthday. She just wants to see her father home early. .

As for the younger brother Xu Ziyan sitting next to him, he is still old enough to have fun because he is only over three years old.

At the moment, I am watching TV with my robot dog Benben in my arms.

Facing her daughter's question, Chen Shihe turned her eyes and said softly: "Of course it's true. When did dad lie to you?"

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the doorbell at home suddenly rang.

Before Chen Shihe could make a move, Xu Ningxuan, who was next to her, had already hurried over and shouted at the same time: "Dad must be back."

Xu Ziyan, who was still watching TV, seemed to trigger some keywords when he heard the word dad. He quickly jumped off the sofa and trotted towards the door.

Even the robot dog didn't lag behind.

Chen Shihe, who was directly behind, saw this scene with a happy smile on his face.

He shook his head helplessly and followed.

She also knew that there were security personnel around her home at all times. If someone came over at this time, it would definitely be Xu Yun, so she did not stop Xu Ningxuan and her son Xu Ziyan.

Xu Yun stood outside the door and was thinking about giving his wife a wet kiss later. When the door was opened, he found that it was his daughter. So he ignored the gift in his hand and hurriedly stepped forward to give Xu Ningxuan a kiss. He was hugged.

"Xuanxuan, have you missed your father during this time?"

"I think about it every day." Xu Ningxuan answered happily when facing Xu Yun.

Next, Xu Yun temporarily put down his daughter, then moved in the gifts for the two children, and then directly took Chen Shihe into his arms without paying attention to the two children beside him.

Finally, he remembered his son, and then he stretched out his hand and gave him a safe hug.

Family status is fairly clear.

But Xu Yun spends the least time with his son. After all, Xu Ziyan has been quite busy since he was born.

Now I took some time to look at my son carefully. First of all, his skin was inherited from Chen Shihe, and it was definitely whiter than Xu Ningxuan, a beauty.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Xu Ningxuan got a little tanned in school.

As for his facial features, he is quite similar to his father, so it goes without saying that he will definitely be a handsome guy in the future.

It's just worse than him.

In addition, Xu Yun asked Chen Shihe and learned that his mother had not returned from visiting the vegetable market, so he said nothing more.

He had heard Chen Shihe talk about this a long time ago. He knew that his mother liked to chat with several women of the same age, and they would go to the vegetable market to buy groceries together when they had nothing to do.

After all, there will be a lack of common topics between the older and younger generations.

It's definitely not appropriate for my mother to stay at home all the time. Making some good friends can actually make me feel happier.

Anyway, my mother was accompanied by security personnel, so there was no need to worry about what would happen.

In the evening, Xu Yun set up the gift he brought on the balcony. It was the astronomical telescope he took the time to make himself. Its precision is incomparable even to professional-level astronomical telescopes.

During this period, the Chinese successfully landed on the moon and the lunar base was put into use. In addition to the overwhelming publicity in the news, various schools also organized corresponding activities.

So Xu Ningxuan seemed particularly interested.

While playing with the astronomical telescope, he asked curiously:

"Dad, are there really people living on the moon?"

"Of course, there are two uncles and one aunt living on the moon now."

"You can look for them later." Xu Yun answered his daughter's questions very patiently, and then taught Xu Ningxuan how to use this sophisticated astronomical telescope.

And just as Xu Yun returned to life and enjoyed the warmth, Nibisen, who was far away at the headquarters of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, felt extremely irritable.

At a meeting in the Cabinet Office two days ago, he was criticized by many MPs.

There are even suggestions that he should be held accountable.

Although the commander-in-chief has not yet made a clear stance, he has a hunch that he may not be able to keep his position this time.

While he was thinking about these things, he heard a knock on the door from outside the office.

Although he was a little impatient, he finally responded.

"Come in."

The female secretary with wavy blonde hair in a women's suit opened the door and came in. Before she even reached the desk, she reported: "Professor Richter is outside and wants to see you, sir."

"That old guy Richter, just said I wasn't here." Nibisen frowned when he heard the name.

Of course he knew this old professor, because it was him who led scientific researchers from various countries to study space-based weapons, but because there had been no progress so far, he didn't bother to see him.

Besides, he might be stepping down from his position soon.

But what the female secretary said next made him change his mind instantly.

"But Professor Richter said he has important good news to say." The female secretary added again.
