Chapter 287: Helping Hands
The rainy season in White Rock is unique because no one has ever seen such transparent raindrops on Earth, they fall from the sky, from eaves, branches, etc., and then converge into clear streams, which are discharged into nearby rivers in White Rock's good drainage system. Many children, and even some adults, like to look at the water dripping from the eaves on a rainy day, and then put their minds to the far, far away.
Lan Jiawei sat in the leisure room of his palace, holding a cup of hot green tea, looking at the rainy sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Tea was planted in the mountains a little farther away a few years ago, and due to the excellent air and water quality, tea from the ancient planet with a special fragrance became the main drink in White Rock City, and even Renee, who loved coffee in her early years, changed her hobby.
Chiyo usually hid in her music room at this time, fiddling with her instruments; Sanniang must be studying martial arts with Zhu Qing in the fitness room; Nile has recently fallen in love with painting, and is supposed to be painting in the pavilion on the top floor of the palace......
Only Xi Shi sat next to Lan Jiawei to drink tea and be in a daze with him, and outside the lounge was the palace garden, although separated by a corridor, the transparent raindrops on the leaves, and then the broken scenery was still very clearly displayed in front of the two, and this rhythm with frequency was also lazy throughout the time after lunch.
There was a burst of cheerful laughter from afar, it was Lan Jiawei's children and his grandchildren playing together, and the meaning of the voice should be to go out fishing and play together, because there are service robots to take care of them, and people do not worry about their safety.
"Shi Shi, I like White Rock City, but I'm afraid that I will stay here for too long, because it will make me lose a lot of courage to continue adventuring", Lan Jiawei's name for Xi Shi is very special
"Alang, this city does make people feel comfortable, and it will make people lose their ambition to go out, but I am a woman. On the contrary, I like this kind of tranquility, like the war between Wu and Yue, I hope it will never happen here."
Lan Jiawei stretched out his arms, Xi Shi walked over very gently and snuggled into his arms, hugging the beauty's slender waist, "It's hard to say, there will be conflicts of interest in the future, and those city-states with different dynastic styles will gradually evolve into different regional characteristics, and even become independent nations."
"Ah Lang, then why are you doing this? Isn't peace good? Xi Shi looked at Lan Jiawei with a slight strangeness
After kissing Shih Tzu's seductive lips. "Shi, too long of comfort will degrade people, competition can stimulate fighting spirit, but also eliminate unqualified people, and nature's law of the jungle is a law, our family must also abide by it"
was kissed and weakened, Xi Shi seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and collapsed in Lan Jiawei's arms. Let him be casual and thin.
The bored Diao Chan also walked into the leisure room and joined the ranks of the greasy, and after a one-on-two "big war", the inside and outside of the house were closed together.
Holding the hand of his wife Chiyo. Lan Jiawei and her are like a pair of young lovers, walking the streets of White Rock City.
The architecture of White Rock Castle is European-style, and the wide streets are mostly lined with brick and stone houses, and today there are a variety of shops. Craftsmen from various dynasties have come up with their own unique skills, making Baishi City a real economic and political center today.
"Haha, rattle, I saw it when I was a kid. And then I haven't seen this thing for many years", Lan Jiawei led his wife into a store, which are all children's toys, and all of them are handmade, many cute things make Lan Jiawei and his wife love it very much, not to mention children, after buying a rattle, Lan Jiawei and his wife smiled and continued to hold hands and go shopping.
White Rock City is comfortable and peaceful, the hovering car shuttling in the air can not affect the leisure of people on the ground, so many shops in the early sunny day after the rain moved the workbench to the street, so the candy blowers, clay sculptures and other handicraft stalls are surrounded by children brought out by parents, these children born one after another will be the hope of the future of White Rock City, but now they are attracted by all kinds of fun things and can't walk.
Necessary management and planning is a must, walking through a few handicraft streets, Lan Jiawei led his wife to the snack area, called the district because it is composed of many snack streets, because Baishi City has the largest population, so the craftsmen of various dynasties living in other city-states will run to this city to open shops, from the Han Dynasty to the late Ming Dynasty, there are many types of snacks beyond Lan Jiawei's imagination.
Lan Jiawei and his wife, who had done disguise, were like children, and they held their stomachs until they couldn't fit it anymore, and then reluctantly left the snack area, Chiyo took her husband's arm, "Honey, what kind of gluten is so delicious, will we eat here in the future?" ”
Looking at his wife, who still looked like a little girl in front of him, Lan Jiawei's heart flowed warmly, "Haha, okay, when it comes to dinner time in the future, we will sneak out."
That being said, back at the palace, in order to set an example for their grandchildren, Lan Jiawei and his wife had to give up their plan to run away and stay at home honestly most of the time. But there were times when the two couldn't help but sneak out, which made the children who found their parents like this a black line.
Lan Jiawei, who routinely returned to Earth to handle official business, found that the United States has made rapid progress in science and technology, and is recently preparing for a manned exploration flight to Mars.
After months of silent observation, the U.S. Tourist spacecraft was finally assembled outside the space station outside the atmosphere, and after sending six astronauts and supplies on the ground, it began its long journey to Mars.
Earlier, it took Lan Jiawei to Mars in a dark blue spacecraft, but now it only takes nine days to reach the Martian atmosphere after changing to a stardust spacecraft.
But it took nearly a year for the Tourist spacecraft to reach Mars, and it was launched at Mars' closest point to Earth.
After Stardust became invisible, Lan Jiawei would catch up with the Tourist to observe after returning to Earth, and what made him strange was that the White Ribbons, who were very interested in themselves and others, were not interested in this Earth spacecraft, so the astronauts in the Tourist could hardly see the truth of the universe.
The Tourist finally stopped in the orbit of Mars after more than 300 days, and used the landing module to send six astronauts to the surface of Mars, and the place where they landed made Lan Jiawei, who was watching them, secretly shake his head, because it was the center of the original sea on Mars, and there was no evidence of any civilization, and it was very far away from the pyramid that Lan Jiawei discovered in his early years.
Before coming out this time, Lan Jiawei explained to his women that it would take a little longer. Because Xi Shi is young, he likes to follow his lover the most, so now on Stardust, Lan Jiawei and Xi Shi are watching these astronauts.
In the first week after landing, the astronauts did a lot of experiments, obtained Martian soil samples, and so on. But a storm of unprecedented scale began to rage.
This is also the reason why Lan Jiawei shook his head after finding out that they chose to land here, because although this plain is conducive to landing, it is the most special area of climate change on Mars, otherwise the ground would not be eroded and clean.
This storm is trivial for a Stardust or a Deep Blue ship, but it is fatal for the six astronauts and their landing module.
As usual, the storm swept across the wide plains and began to approach the landing module, where bullet-like debris could easily shatter the astronauts' spacesuits and damage the outer walls of the landing module.
The commander of the astronauts decisively let everyone hide in the landing module and began to activate the landing module, intending to return to the Guest spacecraft parked in orbit.
"Master, I think they're too late, according to calculations, the storm will approach the landing module in five minutes, and the landing module will be destroyed first by the outer wall, and then completely destroyed by the wind after being overturned by the wind."
"Ash, there is a saying that if you don't see a coffin, you won't shed tears, if their lives are not in danger, then I will save them after the storm has passed, and now I see that there are many thankless possibilities"
Stardust opened the protective shield, and the storm of Mars could not shake this protection system that could withstand the strongest solar wind, and when the storm completely passed, and the Martian region of this area cleared up again, Lan Jiawei and Xi Shi both showed miserable expressions.
The outer wall of the landing module has been blasted into a beecomb by countless rubble, and it has changed from a standing posture to a sleeping position, and the damage is quite serious.
Due to the destruction of the landing module's communication equipment, Lan Jiawei was not worried that his performance would be seen by the earth, so he calmly let the battle armor wrap himself and walked out of the spaceship and came to the side of the landing module.
Tearing open the outer wall of the landing module, which had been damaged to the point of being impossible to see, Lan Jiawei found that the six astronauts were all wearing full spacesuits, and they were all staring at him with shining eyes.
One of the scientist-like astronauts clearly knew who the Silver Shield Knight was, "Oh, Mr. Lan, you are so everywhere, it seems that you are here to save us?" ”
Neither admitting nor denying it, Lan Jiawei beckoned, and then asked Ash to connect to their communication equipment, "Come with me, everyone, your spacecraft has become a piece of broken metal"
The six astronauts shrugged their shoulders in unison and followed behind Lan Jiawei, all stunned when they got into the stardust.
The chemist named Carlil seemed to like to talk more, and looked at Lan Jiawei, who was still wearing a mask, "Come on, Mr. Lan, we swear not to betray you, as for how to be rescued, we will all have selective amnesia, please wait and don't wash our memories in a weird way, that's not fair."
The commander of the six astronauts, a woman, also spoke: "Yes, sir, we will never tell the truth, please rest assured"
Lan Jiawei also shrugged, "Okay, follow me for a meal first, then take a good shower and sleep, and then send you to the Tourist Number"
The familiar movements and language completely reassured the six astronauts, and curiously followed Lan Jiawei through the garden-like space to the restaurant.
"Lewis, we don't look so big from the outside, and the area inside is too scary, right?"
When asked was Lewis, the physicist among the six, he shook his head with a wry smile: "Oh, guys, the legend seems to be true, they all say that Mr. Blue is a wizard, and I can only explain this situation with witchcraft" (To be continued.) )
