Chapter 1364 Journey of Tens of Millions of Kilometers

"Where are you from."

"E Province."

"E Province? Isn't that the same hometown as Academician Lu?"

"No, he's from Jiangling, I'm from Jiangcheng, it's still a little far away."

"Jiangcheng..." There was a flash of memory in his eyes, and Liang Youcheng, who was sitting on the cabin seat, said with a little nostalgia in his voice, "I remember that the hot dry noodles there are delicious."

Han Kangyu thought for a while, and said casually without any change in expression.

"Generally speaking, I still prefer to eat bean curd."

It has been sixteen days since Xu Fu set off. After more than two weeks of sailing, they are getting closer and closer to their destination.

And this also means that the distance between them and their hometown is getting farther and farther.

In the past two days, most of the topics they chatted about were inseparable from various things in their hometown.

Liang Youcheng never thought that he would miss his hometown so much.

When Mingming was on Earth, he didn't even think about many things deliberately. It wasn't until the moment when Xu Fu completely got rid of the gravitational constraints of the earth-moon system that he suddenly realized that there were many things he hadn't had time to do, and that living on the earth was such a happy thing.

At this time, the sound of swallowing saliva came from the side.

"What is bean curd? Is it delicious?"

The person who said this was named Fan Tong. Although his name could be easily misunderstood, it was obviously impossible for him to be a real "noose" to be able to sit on this colonial ship.

As a doctor of planetary geology graduated from the Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology of Jinling University, the research on planetary geology conducted by his supervisor can be said to be one of the best at home and abroad.

Like another Ph.D. in bioengineering named Ming Wenzhe, they were all temporarily advanced from the second batch to the first crew on board because of their outstanding performance in training. Because they did not conduct closed training in Biosphere A, the two of them and the other three crew members had only met recently, and they were not very familiar with them.

Glancing at him, Han Kangyu's eyes were filled with memories, and after about three to five seconds, he spoke slowly.

"Fried spiced dried seeds, bamboo shoots, lean meat, and dried shiitake mushrooms in dices, then sprinkled on the egg skin with a layer of glutinous rice, brushed with a layer of vegetable oil, and fried until golden brown. One side is crispy when bitten, and the other side is soft. Waxy, full of fragrance in your mouth... It can be regarded as a special feature of Jiangcheng."

This time it wasn't just one person who swallowed saliva.

Including the captain Liang Youcheng, the Adam's Apple of the four couldn't help moving up and down.

For the past few days, they have basically eaten liquid food. Although the taste is not unpalatable, it always feels worse than the cooked food on the earth.

Having said this, he finally paused for a moment, Han Kangyu said with a sigh.

"Hey, I'm already hungry."

"Then don't talk about it," Ming Wenzhe, who had been silent all this time, immediately interrupted him, "I'm hungry after hearing what you said."

Fan Tong also nodded quickly, although he obviously started the topic.

Smiling apologetically, Han Kangyu closed his mouth and ended the topic.

At this moment, he also began to realize how unwise it was to bring up this topic. This is space, and it is tens of millions of kilometers away from the earth. Originally, liquid food is a kind of mental torture, but now it is even more difficult to swallow if you want to compare it.

"The southernmost place I've ever been to in my life is almost Hubei Province," Liang Youcheng, who looked at the deep and dark starry sky outside the porthole and was recalled by the delicious food, said with some emotion, "I didn't expect this trip Yuanmen is such a far away place."

This sentence made many people fall into silence.

For a moment, the entire cabin fell silent.

"It's about an hour away." Liang Youcheng stood up from the space chair, glanced at the computer on his wrist, carefully moved his stiff limbs, and then looked at his deputy Han Kangyu, "I'm going to the cab Stay there."

"Do you need my help?"

"No, I can handle it alone, you can do whatever you want."

Hearing what the captain said, Han Kangyu nodded and didn't follow.

Because of its single function and the lack of other complex space activities, the Xu Fu has a very high degree of automation, and a series of tasks from take-off to landing can be completed by AI.

Most of the time, sitting in the cockpit is just staring at the unchanging scenery outside the window, and beware of almost impossible accidents, so it is the same whether one or two people are left in the cockpit.

Everyone in the cabin returned to their seats and sat down tacitly, and fastened their seat belts.

After waiting in silence for about 20 minutes, as a slight sense of migration came from the back, the dark sky outside the porthole finally had a touch of color that I had never seen before.

It was a scarlet light.

Its surface exudes a cloudy luster, like a gray agate jade, left alone in the corner of the warehouse.

"What a nice view……"

"Yeah, it's so beautiful...I heard that billions of years ago, the ecosystem there was more lush than that on the earth. I don't know if it's true or not."

"There is no truth or falsehood, it's just a conjecture," Fan Tong interjected when it came to his specialty, "What the specific situation looks like depends on whether we can dig out from the strata formed billions of years ago. Fossils enough to prove it."

While the astronauts in the cabin were chatting, the scarlet in the distance gradually became clearer.

Although compared with the earth, its volume is still a little thinner, but compared to the mayfly-like Xu Fu, it is still so shocking standing in the deep space.

Just then, the cockpit door opened.

Liang Youcheng, who had already changed into the spacesuit in the cabin, came out with a jet-black tablet in his hand.

"There is still half an hour to change orbit and enter the orbit around Mars."

"Communication resources are precious. Everyone only has time for one sentence, so they can say whatever they want, whether it's for relatives or friends... who will come first?"

All the people in the cabin exchanged glances, and no one was ashamed to come first.

Seeing that no one reached out, Fan Tong suggested in a low voice.

"Do you want to draw lots?"

"Where can I find things for lottery here, or...or by age? Start with the oldest."

"It's alright, alright, don't be modest, we're afraid we'll all be soaked in the sand." Liang Youcheng couldn't bear to see how his teammates were dawdling, and reached out his hand to enter the password on the tablet , "If no one raises their hands, then I will come first. Whoever wants to be next is free, and it doesn't matter if there is nothing to say."

The captain came first, so naturally no one would have any objections.

Pairs of eyes all fell on Liang Youcheng's body.

Everyone was quietly waiting for him to speak, and to transmit the news of longing and victory from tens of millions of kilometers away to the blue parent star.

Feeling the weight of the responsibility, and knowing how important this moment is, Liang Youcheng was silent for a long time facing the tablet.

At this moment, he clearly wanted to say a lot, but at this moment, he couldn't say a word.

Take a deep breath.

After finally making a decision, he pressed the button to start recording.

Then, he spoke.

"Dad, Mom... We arrived safely."
