The press conference was boiling down.

The audience sitting in front of television, computers and mobile phones watching the live broadcast of the conference, not just at the event, were equally surprised when they heard the Ark announce that it would "travel to Mars in person”.

Go to Mars in person?!

What's going on?

“Master Lu is going to Mars himself? ”

“Fuck, no? Really?! ”

“I'm absolutely... Master Lu is probably kidding, right? Though he's not too old, going to Mars is a little exaggerated. I think only professional astronauts can adapt to life there. ”

“No, Lu Shen, please be honest on earth! ”

Discussions around the neck have been completely detonated.

The heat of the topic was like being on a rocket, rising fast, and once surpassed the lines of the manned fire plan press conference and so on that dominated the hot search list.

The same is true of Twitter and Facebook, as well as YouTube and the power station, which are broadcasting live at the press conference, where people are spreading their shock into the video's comment area and barrage to express their unbelief in the news.

While there have been previous speculations as to whether the names of the ships themselves will be included in the delayed unpublished list, in fact, the luxury forehead speculation is mostly a tone of mouth.

Nobody thought the Ark was actually going to Mars on its own.

Not to mention the fact that the authorities had agreed to such a “discretionary” decision.

At the scene of the press conference, the noise almost knocked over the ceiling of room No. 1, and the boiling atmosphere made the entire conference impossible for once.

The staff were desperate to maintain order on the ground, and yet the journalists at the scene in Nay Ho had been surprised by the outburst of 120 per cent, or even 200 per cent, of enthusiasm in both directions towards the podium.

“Professor Ark, is this a temporary decision you made? Or is it a long time ago? ”

“Would it be a burden for front-line scientific researchers to travel to Mars without professionally trained astronauts? ”

“Have you considered the dangers of engagement with extraterrestrial civilizations? If they behave aggressively after seeing you, how do you intend to keep your life safe? ”

“I heard you were engaged, have you considered the other half? ”

“Will we ever get married again? Or are you planning a wedding on Mars? ”

Faced with the tidal wave of microphones and problems, even if there are many showboats, there is some numbness in the scalp at one time.

It is impossible to answer all the questions.

By the time these reporters had finished asking all the gossip they wanted to ask, the second half of the press conference would have to be held in the evening.

The secretary standing next to Director Li gave him a look, suggesting that he was ready to take his place. The secretary immediately grabbed the look of the ark and, after a few words of whispering with Director Li, quickly walked to the back lounge.

The ark cleared its voice and made a quiet gesture in front of reporters throughout the scene.

Looking at the slightly controlled scene, he took the opportunity to raise the volume and said out loud.

“There's nothing terrible about space travel per se, and you don't have to worry about me at all. ”

“Even ordinary people with no foundation and general physical qualities can go to work and live in space after simple training. It won't be much harder than taking a driver's license, in fact I've only been trained for less than a month myself. ”

“I'll prove it with my own actions. ”

“Next, our press spokesperson is invited to announce the complete list of people on fire…”

After that, the ark simply landed behind the scenes in the lounge, in surprise and coveted gaze of the journalists. The Secretary of Director Lee successfully succeeded him and moved the press conference to the next stage.

Although the situation on the scene of the conference was somewhat under control.

Journalists on the scene also calmed down.

But everyone knows that until the launch mission begins, the heat triggered by the announcement of the ark cannot fall.

Some consider his decision too hasty and others consider it a trade-off between the fate of the Grand Duke and the fate of mankind, a selfless scholar.

It was also said that it was a show that would pave the way for a future political career. Others even thought that Master Lu was just pissed off by the reporter on the scene. In the end, he would definitely not really go up.

By then, the leader of the fire office or NASA will be chasing Xiao He's code next month. If he doesn't, he'll find a step down the water.

Time passed day after day, when people were arguing whether landers would personally venture to Mars, and finally the day of departure.

Looking at the live news launch scene, many people were surprised to find that Master Lu seemed to be really moving this time...

……

Jinling Space Launch Center.

The avant-garde Sauvignon was steadily parked in the centre of the runway.

The side of the runway was full of people.

Some of them are Space Launch Center staff, some are relatives and friends of colonists, researchers who are about to travel to Mars, Guangdong City, and others who have been invited or spontaneously applied to come here to give other gifts to the heroes of human civilization.

The atmosphere on site is exceptionally quiet.

Just as people are worried that the sadness in their hearts will spread to others, people are very quiet with their relatives and friends to embrace each other and exchange messages of blessing with each other.

Looking at the ark, Luo Wenxuan, already chairman of the IMCRC, said with a heavy expression.

“I never thought you'd go this far one day. ”

Ark laughed and hugged his old friend and brother. He split up and patted him on the shoulder.

“Tens of millions of kilometres, not much further. ”

takes a deep breath, Rowenxuan looks at him and says solemnly.

“Take care! ”

“Mmm.”

Communication between men is often enough with one eye.

Too much to say, but it seems to be corrective.

Walking away from Luo Wenxuan, the ark continued to look at his assistants and students, watching them smile.

“I'm ashamed that you volunteered, chosen mathematics classes for me, but unfortunately I didn't do anything to help you, even for very little time. There may be only one blessing I can give you at this moment. ”

Looking at Timor standing among the students, the IMO champion who had dug himself under Yan's big eyelids, the ark laughed and continued.

“Your mathematical talent is good, but a lot of things are not enough with your talent. Persistent sweat is the cornerstone of a mathematical building. The former may just decide if the path ahead of you is flat, but the latter is the basis for how far you can go… Come on, there will be a place for you in mathematics in the future. If there is any confusion, go to Professor Perelman, a man who looks isolated but is unexpectedly easy to communicate with. Even if it's a simple question, he'll explain it in detail. Ask him when I'm gone. ”

“Professor…”

“Well, if you're going to say anything meaty, leave me alone. ”

Looking at Seamus' moving eyes, Ark smiled and patted the teenager on the shoulder, then looked at Han Mengqi, who had come to give him a gift.

When he looked at her, she was also staring at herself.

“… Master. ”

After staring at the ark for a long time, she finally held back the phrase "brother-in-law” and opened her mind with some complexity.

However, at the moment of hearing the sentence, Seamus, standing next to him, almost didn't have a bite of old blood coming out.

What the hell?

Didn't you say it was bad to call him Master?

Why are you screaming so hard yourself?

I was used to this name a long time ago, but the ark didn't have any extra reaction, just smiled and said.

“You're also a talented student, and even now I remember that when I first taught you math, you were dying of an elliptical equation, but in just two or three months, you picked up everything that was left behind. ”

“I didn't expect you to embark on an academic journey, but you did prove yourself, by action, to be a scientist. It's not easy, not even 99 percent of people can do it. ”

“Academically, I have nothing more to teach you, and you are an opinionated girl, follow the path you have agreed to. ”

After that, Ark gave her an encouraging look, and then he gave it to all his students, and then walked up to the side, in front of his fiancée, Chen Yushan.

Looking at the ark, Chen Yushan's lips trembled slightly.

Although last night, two people sitting on the rooftop terrace talked until late at night and saw the sunrise from sunset, it always felt like there was more to say than enough.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

Looking at the nearby pretty face, the ark was silent for a while, and finally nothing was said, eyes closed in front of everyone, dragonflies on her lips a kiss on the water.

“I have a lot more to say… more than I can say to you, and I'm sure you do too. But I'm afraid I'm not allowed to do that in time. ”

“But it's only been a little over six months. ”

“That's the same thing when you get back. ”

“Hmm...” the heartbreaking eyes swayed gently, like the ripples of the lake, staring at the landing boat for a long time before she said in a tone of restraint and swallowing, “Me too... I have to talk to you for the rest of my life. ”

She gently opened her bangs, and the ark finally glanced at the lovely look and took the helmet from the staff next to her.

And with his index finger and middle finger, he drew a salute gesture to those who had come to send him but could not speak to him before, the ark withstood the urge to turn back and walked meteorically to the boarding ladder.

Close the hatch.

Ground crews began to evacuate nearby crowds.

A blue plasma jet ignited the air and melted the cement. Hot air currents, such as the Horn of the Expedition, along with those pairs of sights bearing blessings and expectations, pushed the silver white bird forward and eventually disappeared from the skyline.

Looking in the direction of the flight's disappearance, he turned a blind eye to Han Mengqi of Yunxia on the sky and whispered.

“It always felt like... Master went to a very distant place. ”

“ …… ”

Perhaps it was a psychic sensation between the sisters, and Chen Yushan's heart had a similar strong feeling. However, the phrase "yes” could not be said in any case.

The palpitations in her heart stopped her and made her feel a slight tingle in her chest.

His right hand gently saved his fist in front of his left chest, and Chen Yushan prayed silently in his heart.

“Be safe and sound. ”
