Chapter 1428: Returning a century apart

Latest website: Terminal.
Sitting on the seat waiting for boarding, Lu Zhou suddenly felt a pain in her heart.
The sight was a little stingy, and the moving figures in the hall were divided into countless lanes.
Gritted his teeth and endured, a drop of cold sweat slipped from his forehead and dropped on the seat armrest, while a cold robotic hand suddenly placed on the back of his hand.
That flexible polyethylene material has no temperature though.
However, it was unexpectedly reassuring.
The pain deep into the bone marrow gradually receded, and Lu Zhou took a deep breath and, with perseverance, expelled the discomfort from his body, then looked at the bionic person sitting next to him.
"……Thank you."
The bionic person nodded and said nothing, but just gave him a smile with a not too rich facial expression, and said "I am here" with simple body language.
As a "old", economically applicable bionic man with rough workmanship, this is already the limit it can do.
Just then, Professor Leonard, wearing a checkered shirt and leather jacket, strode over.
Not paying attention to Lu Zhou's previous unnaturalness, he said bluntly.
"... I helped you to contact the museum willing to take over the cultural relics, just in the Yangtze River Delta city group you are going to. After hearing that it is the cultural relics found near the gate of hell, they have shown great interest and have The Tiangong city authorities got in touch and issued a special electronic clearance for the cultural relic. I just finished the formalities, and now we can smoothly pass the customs and bring it to the spacecraft ... Of course, it must be placed in a special box. "
Pan-Asian cooperation bans guns throughout the territory.
Even cultural relics must comply with the phenylbenzene law.
Lu Zhou said sincerely.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome," sitting next to Lu Zhou, and Professor Leonard shrugged. "Just as a reward for your life-saving. Speaking of it, do you think so?"
Lu Zhou: "Think something."
"Your relatives, friends, family, children, deposits, houses ... are all gone, I guess you didn't buy insurance for yourself when you froze, you and I believe you are alive all over the world. When you get cured After that, do you want to go somewhere? "
Counting around with a finger and looking at the silent Lu Zhou, Professor Leonard continued, "My suggestion is, if you don't think about it, you might start by trying to integrate into this society. If you are right If you are interested in re-education, I can find a way to get you an offer from Oxford University, and at least have a degree after coming out. Of course, if you want to work first, I also have a sensible old man in the British Museum. My friend, he seemed to mention it last time, and he is recruiting interns there. "
Hearing this, Lu Zhou glanced at him.
This guy.
No wonder he gave up the rifle so generously, and even helped him contact a museum willing to accept cultural relics.
It turned out that he was himself ...
"No need, future things, let's talk later."
Professor Leonard still wanted to say something, but at this time, the broadcast overhead had heard the sound of boarding.
Shrugging his shoulders, he said helplessly.
"Well, whatever you want, I just give you a choice."
They lined up in turn in front of the departure gate, and the two boarded the shuttle-type shuttle following the crowd.
Always following Lu Zhou, Professor Leonard faithfully played the role of a guide, introducing him.
"... This kind of thing called a shuttle is equivalent to an elevator. We take it to the space station in high orbit, and then take the transport ship from there to the Tianzhou."
"Tianzhou?"
"Yes, the space station at 8 o'clock in the east is also a pan-Asian cooperation-even the world's largest space station! I think this name should have something to do with your name, maybe to honor you."
Remember me?
Lu Zhou smiled a little embarrassedly.
Although he was still thinking about the uncertain future, when he saw the distant sky city and the surface of Mars, somehow he was looking forward to this returning century apart ...
...
It took only three days to return from Mars to Earth.
For a century ago, this speed can be described in an incredible way.
Before boarding the ship, Lu Zhou observed that there were twelve pairs of engines behind the cuboid-shaped transport ship.
Yes, there are twelve pairs, that is, twenty-four. The openings of the black holes were inlaid on the tail end of the wide trapezoid.
When those twelve pairs of engines were lit together, the entire night sky outside the space station seemed to be lit.
Lu Zhou only saw an elongated arc, and the narrow starship outside the porthole was like a shooting star gliding towards the sky, galloping towards a dark cold night ...
"We're leaving too, are we fastened?"
"Of course," Lu Zhou said, referring to something hanging around his waist. "I'm not the first time to take a shuttle."
The voice had just fallen, and a violent shaking came from behind, followed by a buzz of electric current, and the starry sky outside the porthole was stretched like a tail.
Professor Leonard had closed his mouth, nervously resting his back on the seat cushion.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhou couldn't help but be a little funny.
This guy tells himself not to be afraid.
It was because of fear of flying.
Looking away from him, Lu Zhou noticed a kid about seven or eight years old, staring out of the window, staring excitedly at the space station that was moving away from the window and his mother next to him.
It looks like it's the first time in a spacecraft ...
"Why are there kids here?"
Relieving from the initial tension, Professor Leonard gave a strange look at Lu Zhou.
"Isn't this normal? Many newborns on Mars have never been to Earth in their lifetimes. Maybe even the space station is up for the first time ... why are you curious about this kind of thing?"
It's okay to have never been to Earth in a lifetime.
Lu Zhou couldn't imagine what kind of life it was.
"... I'm not curious, but in my impression, low gravity seems to affect the development of bones."
Professor Leonard: "That's right, but the limits that human bones can withstand are mainly determined by genes, and the environment is only an influential factor. In the past, some facilities called gravity chambers were popular to provide approximate gravity through centrifugal force "Most drugs are now used, and the effects of low gravity were a problem in the early days of the aerospace era, but they are no longer a big problem."
Can even this kind of thing be solved by drugs?
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou's heart couldn't help feeling some emotion.
It seems that the medicine of this era has really reached an unimaginable level.
I don't know if the terminal illness such as cancer, which has plagued human civilization for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, has been resolved in this era ...
...
Because of the availability of virtual reality access equipment, the three-day trip is not too long.
It was also when using virtual reality access equipment that Lu Zhou discovered that the online game called Jialan Empire was still operating, but the operator had changed a few crops.
Of course, because he was on a starship, he could n’t connect to the server on the earth. He could only look at the gray icon for a while, and then connected to the virtual library and downloaded some study materials. Up.
Overall, his gains are still considerable.
Although there is no professional academic material to study here, there are still many interesting things stored in this virtual library.
For example, in an academic work describing the economic and social environment of the colonies, Lu Zhou learned that the steel and chemical industries on Mars were very developed.
There are not only rich iron ore and titanium ore resources, but also frozen dry ice sea and methane lake.
And the most important thing is that the environmental protection policies here are not as strict as on the earth, and they often issue fines of several million credits.
Many industries with high pollution and high carbon emissions have been gradually transferred from Earth to Mars since the 1970s.
There is no need to worry about pollution or greenhouse gases here. Rather, some scientists will hope that artificially produced greenhouse gases can improve the atmospheric environment of Mars and pave the way for Mars' "climate recovery" plan hundreds of years later. .
In short, whether it can be done or not, dreams still have to be.
In recent years, with the continuous development of various industries on Mars, more and more people have begun to consider this place as a dream place.
Although many people are discouraged from facing dreams because of crime rates and various dangers, there are still many people who carry the idea of ​​getting rich overnight and set foot on this desert.
In addition to the steel and chemical industries mentioned earlier, there is also a gray industry on Mars that has attracted the attention of countless people.
That was the excavation of the remains of Mars civilization.
A long time ago, there was a saying that Mars civilization had scientific and technological strength far beyond any civilization on Earth. Therefore, countries are encouraging the excavation of Mars civilization relics, and the funds allocated to relevant research units are quite sufficient .
Therefore, in addition to the archaeological teams affiliated with major research institutions, there are also many illegal organizations that roam the gray areas of the law, and are also eyeing this piece of cake.
Regardless of whether there are chips in the Martian ruins that can reverse the international situation, those valuable cultural relics and specimens are enough to make them risky.
In addition to those industries located on the surface of Mars, Mars also assumes the role of a material transfer hub, as well as the rough processing and transit transportation of minerals from the asteroid belt.
Having said that, I have to mention the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
As the largest
mineral vein
in the solar system with the most abundant materials and the easiest to mine, many precious resources here were stared at by people on the earth as early as a century ago, but until the middle of the 20th century Development on it has just begun.
The rapid development of Mars colonization and the rise of the "asteroid belt economy" can be said to be inseparable.
Eighty percent of the spacecraft's materials come from the asteroid belt.
Even the latest space station deployed on Mars by Pan-Asian cooperation, almost ninety percent of the materials used in Chengdu are from ore on the asteroid belt!
The abundance of materials there is evident from this!
However, in contrast to the generous benefits, there are also all kinds of dangers.
Not only the navigational risk caused by the meteorite fragments, but also the air thief hiding behind the meteorite.
Some powerful air thieves even built pirate bases on the asteroid belt, and through the cover of meteorites, while evading the radar search of patrol ships of various countries, they also traded with some illegal merchants for the supplies.
"It looks like this is an era of extreme wealth and opportunity."
"People are full, they are idle, they have no time to run as pirates ..."
Looking at the research materials in the holographic window, Lu Zhou's face appeared with a thoughtful expression.
Although Professor Leonard had said nothing before, although he did not respond directly, he had been lingering in his mind for this time.
In fact, he didn't think about where he should go after he cured the sequelae of freezing and dormancy.
Maybe wait until all the things on Earth are understood, save a sum of money, then buy a piece of land on Mars, repair the spaceship and go to the center of the galaxy?
Stop by and go to Tiancangwu to see what kind of scenery there is.
After all, when making that choice, he didn't expect to be thrown into such a distant future ...
Just when Lu Zhou was troubled by this matter ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I suddenly remembered an important thing that was almost forgotten by him for a century.
Speaking of which, the treasure on Mars has also been found, and it seems that he still has not received the reward of a system task.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes slowly, and called the system silently with a sorrowful mood.
After so many years, I don't know if the observer has forgotten him.
Fortunately, the kind of thing he was worried about didn't happen.
From the moment he accepted those three potions, his fate was bound in the void, bound to the void.
When Lu Zhou opened his eyes again, the long-lost pure white space also came into his eyes.
At the same time, the pale blue dialog box appeared looming.
[Congratulations to the host, complete the mission! 】8)
