Chapter 1398 Be Safe

The scene of the press conference was boiling.

Not only the press conference site, but also the audience who sat in front of TVs, computers, and mobile phones and watched the live broadcast of the press conference. When they heard the news that Lu Zhou announced that he would go to Mars in person, they were all shocked by coincidence.

Travel to Mars yourself? !

what's the situation? !

"Academician Lu wants to go to Mars himself?"

"Damn it, can't you? What the hell are you going to do?!"

"I definitely...Academician Lu is probably joking, right? Although he is not very old, going to Mars is a bit too exaggerated. I have the impression that only professional astronauts can adapt to life there."

"No, God Lu, please stay on the earth honestly, okay?"

The discussion on the bib has completely detonated.

The popularity of the topic was like being on a rocket, rising rapidly, and once surpassed the "press conference of the manned fire plan" and other terms that dominated the hot search list.

The situation is the same on Twitter and Facebook, as well as YouTube and Power Station, which are live broadcasting the live broadcast of the press conference. unbelievable.

Although some people speculated before that whether Lu Zhou's name would be included in the list that has not been announced for a long time, in fact, most of these speculations were in a joking tone.

No one thought that Lu Zhou actually planned to go to Mars by himself.

No one thought that the relevant departments would agree to his "willful" decision.

At the scene of the press conference, the loud voices almost lifted the ceiling of the No. 1 conference hall, and the boiling atmosphere made the whole conference unable to go on for a while.

The staff desperately tried to maintain order at the scene, but the reporters at the scene were already shocked by this explosive news. One or two broke out with 120% or even 200% enthusiasm and rushed towards the speech podium. up.

"Professor Lu Zhou, is this a temporary decision you made? Or has it been prepared for a long time!"

"Will astronauts going to Mars without professional training become a burden for front-line scientific research workers?"

"Have you considered the danger of contact with extraterrestrial civilization? If they show aggressive behavior after seeing you, how do you plan to protect your own life safety?"

"I heard that you are already engaged, may I ask if you have considered the feelings of your other half?"

"Will you go back to Earth to get married? Or do you plan to have a wedding on Mars?"

Facing the flood of microphones and questions, even Lu Zhou, who has seen many big scenes, felt a little bit numb for a while.

It is impossible to answer all questions.

After these reporters finished asking all the gossip they wanted to ask, the second half of the press conference might have to be held at night.

He made a look at the secretary standing next to Director Li, implying that he was going to take over his position. The secretary immediately understood Lu Zhou's eyes, whispered a few words to Director Li, and walked quickly to the backstage. lounge.

Seeing this, Lu Zhou cleared his throat and made a quiet gesture to the reporters in the audience.

Seeing the slightly controlled scene, he took this opportunity to raise his volume and speak loudly.

"Space travel itself is nothing scary, you don't need to worry about me at all."

"Even ordinary people with no basic foundation and average physical fitness can go to work and live in space after receiving simple training. This is not much more difficult than taking a driver's license. In fact, I just can't accept it. It's just a month of training."

"I will prove it with my actions."

"Next, we invite our spokesperson to announce the complete list of the manned fire plan..."

After saying this, Lu Zhou retreated neatly to the lounge behind the scenes under the surprised and salivating eyes of the reporters. Director Li's secretary successfully took his place, advancing the press conference to the next stage.

Although the situation at the press conference was under control.

The reporters at the scene also calmed down.

But everyone knows in their hearts that it is impossible to reduce the enthusiasm caused by the news announced by Lu Zhou until the launch mission begins.

Some people think that his decision is too hasty, and some people think that it is a choice between his own destiny and the destiny of mankind made by a selfless scholar.

Others said it was a show to pave the way for a future political career. Some people even thought that Academician Lu was just annoyed by the reporter at the scene, and the angry words he said in a short while would definitely not go up in the end.

At that time, the leaders of the manned landing office or the space agency will chase after Xiao He in the next month. Maybe he will find a way to come down.

Time passed day by day, and when people were debating whether Academician Lu would venture to Mars himself, the day of departure finally came.

Looking at the live broadcast of the launch site, many people were surprised to find that Academician Lu seemed to be serious this time...

...

Jinling Space Launch Center.

The avant-garde Xiaguang stopped firmly in the middle of the runway.

One side of the runway was full of people.

Some of them are the staff of the Space Launch Center, some are the relatives and friends of the colonists and scientific researchers who are about to go to Mars and Guanghan City, and some are invited or spontaneously applied to come here to see off the heroes of human civilization.

The atmosphere at the scene was exceptionally quiet.

As if worried that the sadness in their hearts would infect others, people hugged their relatives and friends quietly, and exchanged blessing messages with each other.

Looking at Lu Zhou, Luo Wenxuan, who is already the chairman of IMCRC, said with a heavy expression.

"I never thought that one day you would go so far."

Lu Zhou smiled, hugged his old friend and senior brother, and patted his shoulder after parting.

"It's only tens of millions of kilometers, it's not that far away."

Taking a deep breath, Luo Wenxuan looked at him and said solemnly.

"Take care of yourself!"

"Um."

In the communication between men, one look is often enough.

Say too much, but it seems hypocritical.

Walking away from Luo Wenxuan, Lu Zhou continued to look at the assistants and students who came to see him off, looked at them and smiled.

"I'm ashamed to say that you chose the number theory course because of my application, but unfortunately I didn't help you much, and I didn't even have much time for class. What I can give you at this moment may be There is only one blessing."

Looking at Ji Mo who was standing among the students, the IMO champion who he dug out from under Yan Da's nose, Lu Zhou continued with a smile.

"Your mathematical talent is good, but talent alone is not enough for many things. Persevering sweat is the cornerstone of pouring the mathematical building. The former may only determine whether the road in front of you is smooth, but the latter is how far you can go. The fundamentals...Come on, there will be a place for you in the future mathematics world. If you have any confusion, go to Professor Perelman. He seems to be withdrawn, but he is surprisingly easy to communicate with. Even if it is simple If you have any questions, he will explain them to you in detail. When I'm not around, you can ask him."

"professor……"

"Okay, if you're going to say something nasty, please let me go."

Looking at Ji Mo's moved eyes, Lu Zhou smiled and patted the boy's shoulder, then looked at Han Mengqi who came to see him off.

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

"...Master."

After staring at Lu Zhou for a long time, she finally suppressed the phrase "brother-in-law" and opened her mouth with a complicated mood.

However, the moment he heard this sentence, Ji Mo, who was standing beside him, almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.

What the hell? !

Isn't it bad to call you Master?

Why do you call yourself so energetic.

I have long been used to this name, but Lu Zhou didn't have any unnecessary reaction, just smiled normally, and said.

"You are also a gifted student. Even now, I still remember that when I first taught you mathematics, you were dying to calculate an elliptic equation, but in just two or three months, you were Picked up everything that was left behind."

"It's beyond my expectation that you will embark on the academic path, but you have proved yourself with your actions, and you are indeed a scientist. This is not easy, and even 99% of people can't do it. "

"Academic matters, I have nothing left to guide you. You are also a girl with your own opinions. Go ahead and follow the path you have determined."

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhou gave her an encouraging look, and then he gave this look to all his students, and then walked to the side, in front of his fiancée, Chen Yushan.

Looking at Lu Zhou, Chen Yushan's lips trembled slightly.

Although the two of them sitting on the roof terrace chatted late into the night last night, seeing the sunrise from the sunset, they always felt that there was still not enough to say.

It's just that I don't know which sentence to start with.

Looking at the pretty face close at hand, Lu Zhou was silent for a while, and finally said nothing. He closed his eyes under the eyes of everyone, and kissed her lips lightly.

"I still have a lot... There are so many things I want to say to you, I believe you are the same. But I am afraid that I am not allowed to do this due to time."

"However, it's only half a year."

"Those words are the same when you come back."

"Hmm..." There were waves in the heart-stirring eyes, like the ripples on the lake. After staring at Lu Zhou for a long time, she said in a restrained choked tone, "Me too... and I will say it in my life." If I can't finish it, I want to tell you."

Gently parting her bangs, Lu Zhou took one last look at the nostalgic eyes, took the helmet from the staff next to him and put it on.

With his index finger and middle finger, he gestured a gesture of respect to those who came to see him off but had no time to say a word to him. Lu Zhou resisted the urge to look back and strode towards the boarding ladder.

The hatch closes.

Ground crews began evacuating nearby crowds.

The blue jet of plasma ignited the air and melted the cement. The scorching air currents raged loudly, like the horn of an expedition, together with the sightlines carrying blessings and expectations, they pushed the big silver-white bird forward, forward, and finally disappeared into the skyline.

Looking at the direction in which the flight disappeared, Han Mengqi, who was staring intently at the clouds in the sky, muttered in a low voice.

"I always feel... Master seems to have gone to a very distant place."

"..."

Maybe it was the telepathy between the sisters, Chen Yushan also had a similar strong premonition in her heart. However, the sentence "yes" can't be said anyway.

The throbbing in her heart stopped her, making her feel a slight tingling in her chest.

With her right hand gently forming a fist in front of her left chest, Chen Yushan silently prayed in her heart.

"It must be safe and sound."
