Bluebird 3 gradually left the earth and passed through the clouds, with bright lights at its feet.
Liu Shuquan held Yanran in his arms and looked out the window dumbfounded, feeling that this was a reasonable thing. He was silent for a while, then turned to Yanran and asked: "My dear, tell grandpa, have you seen these scenery before?"
Yanran must have seen it, but she was less than one year old that time, so she naturally had no impression and shook her head quickly.
Liu Shuquan frowned and turned around to see that his son-in-law and daughter were still chirping together, but Xiao Xun went to the front to talk to Eva. He sat back in his seat, coughed and said, "You guys are in for a big surprise. Where are we going?"
Liu Jinpeng smiled and said: "This time the destination is the moon, where we will change to other means of transportation."
Hearing that there were other means of transportation, Liu Shuquan felt even more uncomfortable. What else he wanted to say, Eva shouted through the cabin broadcast: "We are about to jump, please stay stable."
Liu Mei hurriedly came over, took Yanran down, put her on a fixed soft seat and wrapped her up. Electric light flowed through the window, and the car body vibrated slightly, and the process was quickly over. Liu Shuquan came to the window and saw that the earth had become a semicircle on the black sky, and on the other side was the desolate and lonely surface of the moon.
Blue Bird 3 flew along the equator of the moon and soon entered the back side of the moon. On the desolate gray plain, a huge metal spacecraft suddenly appeared. This ship looks like the lollipop mentioned in the news, with the round disc at the back connected to the square pillar at the front. If there were a few more bumps on the square pillar, it would look like a key.
Blue Bird 3 gradually approached the spacecraft. And it slid under the hull. From a distance, it seemed that the ship was attached to the ground, but in fact it was still nearly two kilometers away from the lunar surface. According to Liu Shuquan's visual inspection, the length of the entire spaceship is about ten kilometers, maybe twelve or thirteen kilometers. There are no obvious weapons on the outside, and the whole ship looks very streamlined.
Liu Shuquan thought he was going to transfer to this ship, but the Blue Bird 3 did not stop, continued forward and left the shadow of the hull. A ground building appears again in front. This is the original moon base. Today's lunar base has been expanded. It has complete life support facilities, evacuation equipment, and pre-existing mining refineries and shipyards. The energy center is located in the middle and provides all the electricity used by the entire base.
There are a total of twenty-nine armed forts around the base, which can carry out long-range attacks on the fleet in lunar orbit. In addition, there are more than a hundred close defense forts. These forts are designed to deal with incoming missiles and fighter bombers. As for energy weapons. Can only rely on deflection shield to resist.
?? Bluebird 3 entered the apron of the lunar base, passed through a layer of blue light film, and docked at the dock.
A group of people got off the aircraft, with Liu Mei holding her daughter hanging behind. Liu Jinpeng walked in front, and Liu Shuquan followed beside him, worried.
It¡¯s very quiet on the helipad. In addition to the Blue Bird 3 docked at the No. 3 berth, there is also a streamlined winged aircraft on the 2nd berth. There were only two robots cleaning in the corner on the entire tarmac, and no one else could be seen.
After passing two automatic doors, Liu Jinpeng introduced: "The Moon Base is currently responsible for providing all the refined helium 3 for the entire empire. Its status is very special. Let's take a short rest here and wait for a spacecraft to pick us up to the next destination. land."
The family sat down in the lounge, and the robot delivered drinks and snacks. These things still have to be transported from the earth or Mars, so the rationing of the lunar base is relatively tight. Fortunately, no one is stationed here permanently.
Liu Shuquan took a sip of coffee, added another spoonful of sugar, then stirred the spoon and said, "What exactly do you want to do? With these powers, you can even occupy the earth."
Liu Jinpeng shook his head and said: "I have no interest in managing the earth. These things should be left to people who like to do it. I just want to help mankind enter the space age as soon as possible."
Liu Shuquan put down his spoon and said, "You are trying to encourage growth. Many things on the earth have not been straightened out. Those bad habits and thoughts will not change in the space age."
"Maybe it will never change, so what does it have to do with what I do," Liu Jinpeng said a lot, and he was very convincing. "If I didn't do it, they would be trapped on the earth and the situation would not be better. So I did it. , and I don¡¯t care what others think.¡±
Liu Shuquan turned to look at his daughter. She was feeding Yanran coffee with a spoon. Xiao Yanran said repeatedly with a bitter look on her face: "Mommy is good or bad, bitter." Lao Liu sighed. His daughter obviously supported what Liu Jinpeng did. Otherwise she wouldn't be so calm, and there was nothing he could do about it.
"Is there anything I can do?" Liu Shuquan said this with difficulty. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his achievements were insignificant.?To show off.
"I brought you here just to give you reassurance," Liu Jinpeng guessed what his father-in-law was thinking, "To be honest, these achievements are nothing to brag about for me. I believe that with the same conditions, it would be better if someone else could do it." You can do this too, maybe even better than me.¡±
Hearing what his son-in-law said, Liu Shuquan felt a lot better. He shook his head mockingly. He didn't expect that he would start to deny himself when he got old. Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "You are still very humble. This is good, keep it up. To brag about myself, if I hadn¡¯t been walking on eggshells all the time, I wouldn¡¯t be where I am now.¡±
Liu Mei couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said with disdain: "You're so old-fashioned, dad, you can't preach less. I was tired of hearing it before I got married. Now you've started to indoctrinate him again. Don't bully our family Yanran like this in the future." "
Liu Shuquan glared at his daughter: "This girl, it's true."
Liu Jinpeng laughed secretly, and Liu Mei said in disbelief: "I'm a mother, and you still call me girl, be careful if I get angry with you."
Yanran actually clapped her hands and shouted: "Girl, girl."
"Little thing, you are seeking death." Liu Mei suddenly exploded, reaching out to grab her daughter's face, gently pinching it and threatening: "If you dare to scream, I will crush your face into a bun."
Liu Yanran gave up and sobbed with tears in her eyes: "Daddy, save me."
Liu Jinpeng quickly held his daughter in his arms, staying away from Liu Mei, patting her on the back and saying, "Don't be afraid, Mommy is scaring you, she loves you."
Xiao Yanran sobbed and asked, "Daddy, my face, buns, is so ugly."
Liu Jinpeng secretly laughed that such a young girl knew how beautiful she was, and quickly assured her, "No, no, she has definitely not changed into a bun. You are still so cute. Let's see daddy give you a kiss."
After being kissed by her father, the little girl giggled again. She probably felt a little itchy and scratched her face. When she walked back here, Xiao Yanran still hugged her father's head tightly and turned her face away from her mother.
"Hey, the little guy is still angry, and mommy is useless, she is a stingy brat."
Liu Mei continued to tease Yanran, and the little girl whispered in Liu Jinpeng's ear: "Mommy is bad, dad is good."
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about?" Liu Mei saw her daughter and her husband biting each other and hurriedly came over.
Liu Yanran quickly hugged her father tightly, turned to look at her mother, smiled, then turned around and hid her head behind her father's head.
Liu Jinpeng had no choice but to interrupt at this time: "It's almost time. The Titanium Star is coming back soon. Let's go to the apron."
The group of people turned back to the tarmac. Liu Mei rushed to hug Yan Ran. The little girl was still a little unhappy. Liu Mei repeatedly promised not to turn her face into a bun, so she agreed to let her mother hold her. Jade Bird 3 was there, and Eva had already replaced the battery. After boarding the plane, Jade Bird 3 slid off the runway and entered the starry sky again.
This time the Titanium stopped at an altitude of more than 300 kilometers from the lunar surface. While the Bluebird 3 was rising, everyone could see the huge spacecraft in the distance. This ship is a bit larger than the Tau Star at the top, but the Tau Star looks more beautiful, while the metal ship looks ugly.
"This is the Fubai-class frigate, the Wu Gang." Liu Jinpeng explained to Liu Shuquan who was leaning in front of the window. "There are also several sister ships, the Chang'e, the Kuafu, the Jingwei, and the Houyi. Among these. Small ships are generally used for perimeter security purposes."
There were originally no larger ships in the plan, but two factors changed this plan. First of all, the fleet cannot be made more realistic without large ships, which will cause certain hidden dangers to the progress of the plan; secondly, the construction of the Mars base is progressing very quickly, exceeding Etty¡¯s expectations. After the new dock is completed, the construction of a large ship The plan was put on the agenda.
After Blue Bird 3 entered the belly of the Titanium Star, the Titanium Star began to gradually accelerate.
The family came to the bridge, Liu Jinpeng sat in his seat and began to prepare for the jump. Liu Shuquan and Liu Mei found seats and sat down. Liu Mei still put Yanran in a special soft seat to prevent her from flying out and bumping into something during the jump.
When the electric light disappeared from the large window of the bridge, Liu Shuquan stood up excitedly. There was a red planet outside. This was the destination this time, Mars.
When you observe Mars up close, you will feel a power that is completely different from the earth. If the blue-white Earth makes people feel the vitality of life, then the red-gray Mars is a kind of thick solemnity. It's like magma underground, surging with passion and hidden in it, giving people endless reverie.
The Titanium Star crossed the sky. From the large portholes of the bridge, you could see three frigates arranged in a zigzag pattern against a red background. According to Liu Jinpeng¡¯sAccording to legend, these three ships are Kuafu, Jingwei and Houyi.
The Titanium star then slowly fell towards the surface of Mars. The atmosphere of Mars was strengthened and there were some gray clouds. After crossing the clouds, a strange world appeared before everyone's eyes.
A meandering river flows through the red and yellow ground. Strange-shaped ferns grow on both sides of the river bank. The tallest plants are just some bushes. What is even more surprising is that in an environment similar to the Hetao, there is a giant tree standing there. Its canopy is hundreds of meters in diameter, and there are scattered small flowers and weeds scattered on the ground around the tree. (To be continued)
