Chapter 1659: I Want To Revive the Human Alliance
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Anderina never thought that one day, she would be able to attend such an important occasion or even partic.i.p.ate in the writings of history.
“Every second we experience is science fiction…”
After hearing this quiet whisper, the man sitting next to Anderina raised his eyebrows curiously.
“What are you talking about?”
“Nothing?” Anderina shook her head. With a firm expression on her face, she said, “I will write this into the book.”
“Book?”
“Yes, I intend to write a book about the future of human civilization under the pseudonym Anna… And I intend to put this sentence at the beginning of this book.”
“Sounds interesting, can I receive a signed copy?”
Anderina raised her eyebrows and said teasingly, “Of course, as long as you are willing to pay, you can have as many copies as you want.”
“Haha.”
In a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, along with others, Anderina boarded the transport s.h.i.+p named “Torch”. Under the guidance of the crew members, she fastened her seatbelt and connected her s.p.a.cesuit to the life support system.
After looking around, Anderina couldn’t help but ask.
“Where is our destination?”
The male pa.s.senger sitting nearby answered this question.
“Earth! We have to share this great moment with our fellow citizens on Earth!”
His face was filled with excitement, and his beard seemed to be shaking. He said in a fierce tone, “2.6 astronomical units in less than a minute. Soon, we will see the Tianzhou s.p.a.ce Station appear in front of us.”
“You are…”
The man smiled and showed his white teeth. He continued to speak excitedly, “A reporter from Pan-Asia News! Haha, it’s a great honor to be able to sit here and witness this historical moment!”
As time went by, the Torch stars.h.i.+p got closer and closer to the stargate.
A gentle reminder floated on the ceiling of the cabin.
“Pa.s.sengers, please note that the pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p Torch is entering the scheduled orbit and will pa.s.s through the stargate in 5 minutes, entering the hypers.p.a.ce channel.
“Because the gravitational field will fluctuate greatly when entering the stargate, please stay in your seats and fasten your seat belts to prevent safety accidents.”
When Anderina heard these words, she took a deep breath. Every cell in her body tightened because of the tension.
However, there seemed to be a slight discrepancy from what she had expected. Although the feeling of g-force made her feel a little compressed, it was only for a short moment.
The stars outside the window seemed to be stretched. They were pulled into silver lines, forming a glowing stream of s.p.a.cetime.
“Is this the hypers.p.a.ce channel? It’s incredible… Really amazing.”
A gray-bearded old man was sitting near Anderina. He looked out the window excitedly, almost sticking his nose on the gla.s.s.
Judging from his temperament and appearance, he was unlike a journalist and more like a scholar or researcher.
Having been a reporter for so many years, Anderina was quite confident of her ability to judge people.
However, just as she was about to find a way to interview him, the huge and chaotic gravitational force struck again, pressing her firmly back on the chair.
However, it was only for a moment.
The scene outside the window suddenly changed.
An arc-shaped “door frame” swept past her eyes, and the galaxy returned to its stillness again, as if they had stepped on the brakes. The speed of the entire stars.h.i.+p suddenly slowed down.
All these happened at the moment when the stars.h.i.+p Torch pa.s.sed through that circular arch!
Of course, this was not what surprised Anderina the most.
She vaguely saw a blue figure in the deep and endless s.p.a.ce.
“Earth…”
“That’s Earth!”
Someone also shouted after her.
If it were not for the seat belts, all of those excited people would jump up from their seats and hug each other.
“This is incredible…”
Anderina gently raised her trembling hand as she glanced at her watch.
From Mars...o...b..t to Earth geosynchronous...o...b..t…
In less than a minute!
At the same time, Lu Zhou, standing in the conference room at the branch headquarters of East Asia Heavy Industries in Tiangong City, witnessed this historic moment with a man standing across from him.
The man’s name was Li Guangya; he was the chairman of the Pan-Asian Cooperation.
Of course, technically, he wasn’t standing here. It was his holographic projection.
“It’s incredible…” he whispered. Li Guangya looked at his hands and looked around again. “Is this Mars?”
Lu Zhou: “Have you never been here?”
“I have always planned to come, but I could never find the time. After all, I have to be disconnected for a week or even two weeks when I fly here. Our alliance can’t go without a leader for such a long time.”
There was a slight excitement on Li Guangya’s face when he said this.
Immediately afterward, he looked at Lu Zhou.
“Real-time communication has been achieved… Is the first stargate experiment successful?”
Lu Zhou glanced at his watch, thought for a moment, and said, “Stars.h.i.+p Torch has just entered the stargate, and it will take about half a minute for them to get out.”
“Then why is the call between us not delayed?”
Lu Zhou: “The time it takes for ma.s.sless photons and ma.s.s particles to pa.s.s through the hypers.p.a.ce channel is different.”
Li Guangya coughed slightly awkwardly.
“I see…”
Suddenly, there was silence in the conference room for a few seconds.
Soon after, the news of the successful arrival of Torch came to Mars through the hypers.p.a.ce channel.
Lu Zhou, who was standing on Mars, and Li Guangya, who was in Beijing, received this good news almost at the same time.
Although it was expected, after hearing the news, Lu Zhou couldn’t help but show a smile on his face.
His expectations for the Z particles were finally fulfilled at this moment.
Although Lu Zhou never thought that this chapter would be written by him, in any case, with the completion of this technology, human civilization would enter a new era.
Just when Lu Zhou was in a celebratory mood, a voice suddenly came from across the conference table.
“The stargate is complete… Are you planning to leave?”
Lu Zhou looked at the serious expression on Li Guangya’s face. After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou spoke.
“There are still a few things left to be done. I’m not in a rush.”
“Do you have to go?”
Lu Zhou nodded.
“After going to Tau Ceti, I will go to the center of the Milky Way.”
Li Guangya sighed and said, “I still don’t understand why you are so persistent.”
“Because I have my reasons, and I’m the only one who can do this.” Lu Zhou continued looking at Li Guangya and said, “Trust me, this is for the future of our civilization.”
“Future?” Li Guangya sighed. His eyes wandered around as he muttered to himself in a quiet voice, “As long as you exist, the future is bright. And if you leave, the road can only be explored by ourselves.”
Lu Zhou: “This day will come eventually. I can’t lead the way all the time, nor will I always be correct.”
Li Guangya: “Can I ask you another question?”
Lu Zhou smiled and said, “Before I leave, you can ask as many as you want.”
He thought that Li Guangya would ask him an academic question or the feasibility of a certain technology.
He didn’t expect this guy to throw out a question that had nothing to do with academics.
“Using the breakthrough of faster than light technology as an opportunity, I want to revive the Federation of Human Alliance.
“Do you think the timing is right?”
