Chapter 1303 Recovery of Wreckage

"63.6s!!! Light, more than a minute faster!"

"Hyperspace! Hyperspace! We have opened a hyperspace channel!"

"Hahahaha! I knew it! How could there be a problem with Academician Lu's theory!"

"God Lu is awesome!!!"

Cheers, whistles and applause flooded Lu Zhou.

He who was still immersed in the joy like a dream, was hugged by Senior Brother Luo, and firmly grasped his shoulders with both hands, shaking back and forth excitedly.

"Did you know! You wrote the history of physics! And the history of aerospace! Oh no, it should be the history of civilization!"

"Um."

"You have done such an awesome thing, and you only have one answer?" Luo Wenxuan was so excited that he almost went crazy, and the expression on his face was distorted by the excitement, and he didn't even know what he was talking about. , "Why the hell aren't you a woman, I wish I could kiss you!"

Lu Zhou: "...?"

"You nearly knocked him out."

Unable to watch it any longer, Wang Peng, who was standing beside him, sighed and stretched out his right hand.

Luo Wenxuan didn't react, and just watched his two hands being moved aside lightly like two chopsticks.

"No, I'm fine... just didn't think about what to say."

Signaling Wang Peng who was standing next to him not to be nervous, Lu Zhou sniffed lightly, looked at the large landing screen not far away, and at the cheering researchers and engineers, and continued.

"I may have to think about it for a while, give me a whole day... No, two days, two days should be enough."

After hearing this sentence, Luo Wenxuan's eyes widened immediately, and he said, "Two days?! You can't disappear for so long! You are the protagonist of the celebration banquet tonight! We will open the champagne and spray the foam on the ceiling, Everyone cheers your name when you toast, I wish you a long life, I wish you—”

"If it's convenient, remember to record it and send it to me." Interrupting Luo Wenxuan's chatter, Lu Zhou stretched out his hand and pinched the center of his brows, and continued, "I have something to deal with here... Regarding research, Wang Peng, you Go to the parking lot first and drive the car to the door."

"OK."

Wang Peng nodded and walked to the door.

The reminder that the task was completed kept reminding him that there was a huge sum of money waiting for him to claim it. Even though he is still quite interested in sharing the joy of victory with his peers, in comparison, the world after LV10 is what he looks forward to more.

He has waited too long for this day.

So much so that now he doesn't want to delay for a moment.

As for the chance to pretend...

For him, simply not too much.

Finally, he glanced at the large landing screen, and Lu Zhou continued to look at Luo Wenxuan.

"Let the messenger prepare for the aftermath."

"Here... I'll leave it to you first."

After leaving this sentence, Lu Zhou gave Director Li a look of "I have something to say the day after tomorrow", reached out and patted Senior Brother Luo on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the door of the command center.

At this moment, his eyes met Edward Witten.

The old man gave him a slight, thumbs up.

After reading the words "well done" from the dark green pupils, Lu Zhou also responded with a bright smile, and strode away towards the door.

...

Tens of millions of kilometers away.

In the silent deep sky, a group of shining light spots lit up. The titanium alloy skeleton and shell could no longer resist the expanding energy, and began to be gradually engulfed by the overflowing light.

Looking at the explosion that happened hundreds of kilometers away from a distance, Liu Biao, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, suddenly sighed softly and said.

"I guess they've opened the champagne."

"It seems to be like this..." Xu Zhenghong glanced at the radiation value detected on the gamma value counter outside the cabin, and said casually, "The ground command center just sent a message that the experiment went very well."

"How much does this thing cost?"

Although he doesn't understand physics, his intuition tells Liu Biao that the two pairs of rims with small electric propulsion engines that fix the ball may cost a lot of money.

Xu Zhenghong: "I don't know, but it is said that it has exceeded 100 million."

"...It's okay if it exceeds 100 million."

Thinking that this thing burned not one but a pair in one experiment, Liu Biao fell silent for a moment.

After a while, he said with emotion.

"It's still rich in physics."

Not far away, the Z particle clock that completed its final mission has been completely engulfed in light.

Blooming silently, withering, and finally like withered flowers, they scattered into dots of "flame" in the boundless deep space, and were slowly pulled into the tumbling dust by the gravity of Mars.

After recording all this with a high-power optical camera, Xu Zhenghong manually corrected the shooting direction, and finally pressed the button to stop shooting.

"The filming is complete."

After reconnecting the life support system to the spacesuit in the cabin, Liu Biao moved his shoulders and said with renewed enthusiasm.

"what's next?"

"...Look over there to see if there is anything that can be recovered," Xu Zhenghong confirmed the mission order sent by the ground command center, and reached out to turn on the switch of the tail engine, "If possible, collect from the wreckage of the Z particle clock Order a sample and go back."

The remaining tasks are not difficult.

The damaged Z-particle clock did not explode very violently, and most of the wreckage gathered together, and under the joint action of the solar wind and the gravity of Mars, they maintained a highly consistent trajectory, moving closer to Mars.

Carefully approaching the edge of the wreckage, Xu Zhenghong controlled the Xiaguang to release the maintenance robot in the cargo hold.

I saw a robot about half the height of a person, holding a nearly two-meter-long mechanical arm, pulled by a thick and long carbon nano-cable, and drifted towards the nearest piece of debris with a diameter of about 0.25m under the push of nitrogen.

The mist-like liquid nitrogen was sprayed out from the spray gun, covering the fragment, and the irregular fragment emitting hot white light cooled down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and restored its original metallic luster.

"Sign for the package."

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Xu Zhenghong continued to shake the joystick in his hand to manipulate the robot floating in the deep space, and continued to recover four samples in the same way.

After confirming that there was not much propellant left, he parked the robot that had successfully recovered the fifth sample in the cargo hold, and then closed the door of the cargo hold.

"Five samples should be enough."

Talking to himself, he raised his right hand and pressed it on the helmet, switching to the channel where the ground command center was located.

"This is the courier. The sample recovery task has been completed, and we don't have much fuel left. If we delay any longer, we may miss the best window for returning. Request to return."

After waiting for more than four minutes, the answering voice came.

"This is the ground command center. The return request has been approved. Thank you for your work. We have prepared a banquet for you to clean up the dust."

"receive."

After turning off the communicator, Xu Zhenghong made a gesture with Liu Biao, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, and the latter cooperated with him tacitly to start the orbit change operation.

The five engines ejected at the same time, pulling out a blue arc of light in the deep sky.

After glancing at the fiery red planet for the last time, an inexplicable idea suddenly appeared in Xu Zhenghong's heart.

This thought told him that in the not-too-distant future, he would have the opportunity to come here, and even set foot on that haunting desert.

I just don't know what kind of mission to perform next time...
