Between the Earth and the Moon, the Ark spacecraft sails in the lonely universe.

Johnny's face was not very good, because they had received news from Houston that a huge solar storm was coming in the direction of Earth. In terms of time, the arrival of the solar wind is just right for the Ark to be completely exposed to this solar wind.

Johnny is not a fool, although he is not much of a scientist. But he has an extremely smart sister and an equally smart brother-in-law. Their explanations are very informative about what they will face next.

Without any help in space, the probability of their survival is infinitely close to zero when exposed directly to the solar wind. Seriously, Johnny was ready to sacrifice. Although his brother-in-law is still calculating something quickly, trying to avoid this solar storm.

But............ Forget it, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven. Just when Johnny wanted to give up, a new piece of news came from Houston. The messenger was Abraham, the monitor who had been in charge of contacting him.

"Ark One, now deliver a message to you that the ground is ready to rescue you. Please don't give up!" Abraham had just finished saying this, and Johnny's eyes, which had been a little depressed, lit up.

Dr. Reed also put down the formula and flight angle calculation with Ben and Susan, and hurriedly ran to the position of the bridge: "Houston, this is Ark One, what are your plans!"

"Don't be too anxious, Dr. Reid. You have to keep your mind at ease, and we need your cool head for the next plan. It wasn't Abraham who was speaking now, and Dr. Reed was familiar with that voice.

"Tony?" Dr. Reed could already hear who the voice was about.

"It's me, we've got a rescue plan in place. I've had a lot of effort to save you. I managed to convince the world's space agencies to use almost all of the rockets and spacecraft on Earth, and now they've been launched, carrying the outer armor I was going to use to build Sky City. Tony Stark told Dr. Banner exactly what he had planned.

"I'll use two near-finished Arks, and they'll carry my Iron Squad into space. Then use the armor materials carried by those rockets to build a sheltered fortress for you for a limited time. According to our calculations, you only need to perform a low-power ignition to get to the fort within the time limit, and then dodge this solar storm!"

"Okay, Tony. Explain the steps in detail. "Dr. Reed doesn't talk nonsense, he doesn't want to die in space. He still has a lot to do.

In fact, this is Dr. Reed's overthinking, because even if this rescue fails, there will be no real crisis for their group. Because Li Jie took Thor and Magneto on board the battleship that had been prepared long ago, and escorted them in the dark.

Thor is responsible for stepping in to solve the problem if it is exposed. And Magneto is going to be used to let him intervene in case there is a problem in building a battlestar.

For Magneto, moving around space and gluing some metal pieces is easier than playing with Lego bricks. Because to play Lego, you also need to read the manual, and this one is not needed.

Li Jie is the commander of the entire fleet, directing the fleet to rescue Dr. Reed and the four when necessary. Because this is not a combat mission, there is no need to stay in the command module of the Venus base all the time, Li Jie also boarded the battleship and sailed in space for the first time.

"This is the earth~!" Li Jie looked at the earth like this for the first time in space. Looking at the Earth from Venus is just a small dot. Looking at the earth between the earth and the moon, Li Jie saw the magnificent beauty of the earth from space this time.

In addition to the blue water, there are also white clouds, green grasslands, and yellow deserts. This kind of shocking feeling is not something that can be given by the kind of colored pages in geography textbooks.

"This is the Earth. Magneto, Marx, stood beside Li Jie and repeated, although it was the same word, but the tone and tone were completely different.

Li Jie is an exclamation, while Marx is an affirmation.

"This is my home, the place I fought for to get here. She's magnificent, she's beautiful. She is the most beautiful gem in the universe. Li Jie said with emotion.

Magneto poured cold water on him: "That's because you haven't seen other magnificent and beautiful planets." ”

Li Jie nodded and did not refute: "It is true that I have never seen other planets, but this does not prevent me from agreeing with the beauty of the earth." Because I am earthling, this is where we were born. We have marked this planet billions of years ago. We are her children, and it is she who multiplied and gave birth to us. ”

"No matter where we are heading in the future universe, this will always be our home. She has a myriad of beauty."

Marx said as if he deliberately wanted to contradict Li Jie: "But this homeland is not just beautiful. There are also countless ugliness and wars. You've seen a lot of it, haven't we? You've even been involved in a lot. ”

Li Kit does not deny this: "Yes, I never deny it. But I never lose sight of beauty just because I see ugliness. It is precisely because of the ugly foil that we feel the value of beauty. ”

"It's always like this in the world, strife, riots, discrimination, and so on. I don't know who can end it, and I didn't think anyone could end it in the first place. I've never believed in the existence of a beautiful utopia. ”

Marx glanced at Li Jie with some surprise: "I thought you had been working in this direction, and you often said that you should make the world a better place." ”

Li Jie looked at the magnificent earth outside the window: "Yes, I don't deny it. I'm conflicted, I don't believe that there is a utopia in this world, and I don't believe that the ugliness of humanity will be completely eliminated. But I never let these things stop me from thinking and stopping my actions. ”

"Humanity has not stopped fighting and fighting since the moment it was born, but we have been moving forward. Look at those predecessors, those who expected to build a utopia, do they really believe that utopia really exists, or is it just an illusion?" Li Jie turned his head to look at Marx, and the smile on the corner of his mouth made Marx feel that Li Jie was very difficult to understand for the first time.

Magneto asked, somewhat incomprehensibly, "So what do you want?"

Li Jie looked deeply in the direction of the earth: "What do I want? What I want is different in each time period, in the past, it was for a small fortune and peace, but then what I wanted became bigger little by little." Now, what do I want?"

Li Jie took a deep breath: "I'm here, I've seen it, I've pushed it! I don't want anyone to understand, but I need to prove to myself that I have a profound existence in this world! I am not the protagonist of this world, but the only protagonist in my life." ”

"To put it mildly, the world would be a different place without me. And that's what I'm after. I am not a living being, but an irreplaceable part of this world!" Li Jie's eyes flashed with this kind of light: "I don't seek to be famous in history, I don't want to be immortal. I just want to be unique in heaven and earth while I'm alive!"

In the direction of the earth, the first rocket has carried its cargo out of the atmosphere, and the first large-scale rescue of the earth's human beings is about to begin.

PS: I forgot to explain the note in the previous chapter. The story about Apollo XIII, the third manned lunar landing program carried out by the United States. But the day after launch, there was an explosion in the service compartment of the rocket. Isolated in space, the astronauts teamed up with scientists in Houston to use the moon's slingshot effect to return to Earth without the power they used.

This is an aeronautical feat in the history of mankind.
