For example, Russia also immediately announced that their Messiah mission is about to officially begin, although it has lost its leading advantage, but the Messiah's power system is more stable, more durable, and more effective, and it will definitely be able to catch up with the Orion spacecraft of the United States.

A day and a half later, the Messiah, who had been overhauled and replenished with materials, was officially launched.

China can't lag behind, almost the day after Russia, it also officially started the mission of Yingchao.

Compared with the three most powerful countries, the European Space Agency has little hope of competing for it, but it has only carried out a new round of test runs slowly.

Netizens from various countries are spraying each other on the Internet, so it's not lively.

Some people are inexplicably excited, thinking that humanity has finally taken a truly solid step and is no longer far from colonizing space.

But there are also some people who are inexplicably pessimistic, believing that their country has lost a real opportunity to compete in the universe.

But everyone is not as sad as Li Hui.

When he saw the spaceships of the United States, Russia, and China leaving the Earth-Moon system and flying towards the endless and distant starry sky, Li Hui sat on his bed, which was so small that he couldn't turn over, and couldn't cry.

It's a small hut that can only be easily accommodated, with very few personal belongings next to it, a simple white interior and three cameras in the bedroom.

Outside the half-open door, there was a narrow and cramped aisle, because he only ate compressed food and vitamins for a long time, Li Hui's sense of taste and digestive system were almost destroyed, and the whole person was emaciated to a little sickly.

When walking, the echoes that reverberate back and forth can almost drive people crazy.

This is not a prison, but it is like a prison, and Li Hui has been living here for a year, nine months and three days.

This is a building built in a huge karst cave, there is no light around it, all the lighting has to be simulated by lighting, the windows can never be opened, and all communication with the outside world has a delay of twenty minutes.

Sometimes they can leave the prison-like building and walk around the cave, put on a thick flight suit, and face a rock or something strange like an enemy.

The name here is called: "Mars Mission Isolation Simulation Training Chamber".

That's right, this is an isolation test, once people thought that from the Earth to Mars, it would take at least 125 days to fly, and from Mars back to Earth, it would also take at Mars opposition, that is, 779 days, so a Mars mission would take at least two years.

125 of them flew to Mars, then lived on Mars for more than 500 days before returning from Mars.

All communication from Mars to Earth will be expensive and inefficient, and they will face a barren planet, hurricanes that constantly appear and disappear, air that cannot breathe, and fiery red sandstone.

and supplies, air, and water, which are decreasing all the time.

This kind of long-term loneliness is almost unbearable suffering, not to mention, in fact, every minute and every second can be regarded as a countdown to life, and no one knows if there will be any accidents that will turn them into a dry corpse on Mars.

The spacecraft, called the "Mars Simulator", will simulate all the difficulties that may be encountered when flying from Earth to Mars.

Both physically and psychologically.

Because the journey from Earth to Mars is more dangerous, harder, more painful than the simulation, and it is difficult to persevere without a strong heart.

In fact, just after entering the simulation chamber, an astronaut from Russia had a psychological breakdown.

Then, about the first year ago, an astronaut attempted suicide.

But Li Hui persevered, and there was a belief in his heart to support him.

Just like what he promised to the camera before he entered this simulated warehouse: "Please rest assured that the motherland and the people will definitely complete the task!"

As one of the best pilots in the Air Force, the youngest astronaut and one of the most educated, and a man who truly dreams of going to space, he thinks all his sacrifices are worth it.

Even in his lifetime, he will not be able to board the spacecraft to Mars, but he hopes that the experiment he participated in will at least leave future generations with data to learn and reference.

Li Hui believes that all this is for a reason and necessary.

But Li Hui never thought that within half a year of his residence, an existence called "Lazy God Department" was born in this world.

Now, people landing on the moon is like eating a small piece of food, it only takes 25 days to get from the earth to Mars, and now, they can even not care about the launch window of Mars opposition, a Mars mission, they can shorten it to three months - 25 days to fly, a month to probe, and then 25 days to fly back, and 10 more days to wander around.

Now, it is even possible to use Mars as a relatively distant space station, establish a long-term base on Mars, send a few people over every year, and then send some people back.

At the beginning, the staff outside also tried their best to hide information from the outside world and try not to let their hearts fluctuate, but a routine communication with his family let Li Hui know the news about the lazy god system and the rapid development of this world.

But Li Hui was still insisting, and he had an idea in his heart.

Your loneliness is not in vain, even if you don't need to fly to Mars, what about flying to a farther star?

What about Jupiter? What about Saturn?

He's been holding out for a year and nine months, and no matter how hard it is, he wants to finish the last three months.

Covering his head on his bed and crying secretly, Li Hui left the room, pretending that nothing had happened, continuing to exercise every day, completing training tasks, wearing a bulky spacesuit, and facing a small stone like a great enemy.

But the day after the launch of China's Yingmeng-1, the door of the closed and isolated cave was suddenly opened.

A group of men in white coats walked in, and the leader saluted them, and then gave an order.

"The Mars simulation mission will be suspended immediately, and everyone participating in the mission should return to their respective countries......"

Li Hui was given a three-month vacation to recuperate, to go home, to go shopping, and to spend time with his wife and children, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

He thought he could hold back, but when he walked out of the cave and saw everything outside, he suddenly couldn't hold back anymore and covered his face and cried.

One year and nine months, all the torture and patience, what is it for?

Li Hui seemed to hear someone whispering in his ear: "All the efforts you have made are actually meaningless. ”

"Your dreams, your sacrifices, in the eyes of others, are like a joke, even you yourself are a joke. ”

In the midst of crying, Li Hui felt someone patting him on the shoulder.

"Cry, cry, cry, I understand your feelings very well...... By the way, my name is Liu Qun, and we are peers. ”
