As soon as Nia opened her mouth, she was blocked by Ysera and Lilith together, and she could only whine and wave her hands and feet.

"Xiaolu is just expressing her love for her father, not what you think." Lilith explained in a whisper, "Yes, this love is just a daughter's love for her father, a kind of family affection." Sister, you know this very well! ”

"Woo woo woo"

Although she was silent, judging from the tone that came out of the table, Nia didn't understand.

"Drag her away." Ysera gave a decisive order, and at the same time the bull head gave his subordinates a look, so the subordinates immediately understood and wanted to rush to the press box. All journalists present will be warned, and hush money will be paid accordingly. Lin Youde's daughter is actually in love with her father and is jealous of her sister who says sincere and problematic words, and this rumor must be stifled at the root.

It wasn't until Sophie and Lilith worked together to drag Nia away that Ysera breathed a sigh of relief, just as the rocket entered the final countdown.

Ysera looked at the towering rocket, thinking back to Xiaolu's words just now.

"I can really feel the growth of the little guy, if only Nia could have half the wisdom of Xiaolu."

At this time, Concubine Lin Ming, who was still staying in the seat with Isera, whispered, "Is Sister Xiaolu very wise?" ”

"yes, the smartest of us is Sophie, and then it's up to the youngest sister." Ysera replied without hesitation, which simply surprised Concubine Lin Ming.

"I thought you're the smartest ......, Sister Ysera."

"On the contrary, it's because I'm not smart enough for these two sisters that I'm now in administrative jobs." Ysera's voice was a little helpless, and she smiled at Concubine Lin Ming.

And Concubine Lin Ming just nodded, and then whispered, "Anyway, you are all smarter than me." ”

"That's not the case, Concubine Ming, you're just growing up slowly, if you work hard, at least it's no problem to catch up with me."

As he spoke, the countdown was over, and the rocket on the screen in the control hall spewed out a large amount of smoke, and then slowly rose towards the sky.

**

After the tremor ended, Xiaolu loosened the seat belt that held her body in place.

"Stars." She looked at the starry sky outside the porthole and murmured softly.

However, at this time, the Earth could not be seen from the porthole, and for technical reasons, one side of the space ship Hope had a window. To see the Earth, the hull must be rotated with the ship's attitude control engine.

Xiaolu has received complete training and has systematically studied the theories related to astronautics, and controlling the spaceship is no problem for her at all.

After a few more simple steps, the ship rolled 180 degrees and the porthole was aimed at the Earth.

"Oh." Xiaolu admired softly.

At this time, there was ground communication on the radio: "Miss Five, how is the situation of the spacecraft?" ”

"One qiē is normal, the life support system is working well, no air leaks have been detected, and the power and communication are good."

"Roger."

"The earth is beautiful." It stands to reason that Xiaolu shouldn't use radio communication to talk about these personal feelings, but she still held down the microphone fixed to her mouth and whispered, "Like a blue gem, a huge gem." ”

There was silence on the other side of the control center.

Xiaolu continued: "You can't tell the difference between countries and whatever, even the whole of Europe is only that piece, whether it's Germany or France, you can't tell the difference. It's not worth it for mom and dad to fight for so long for something so small. ”

This time, Lin Youde's voice came over the radio: "That's right, that's really stupid." Xiaolu, you are about to leave the communication relay range, and when you fly over the Americas, you may receive a clear communication from the Americans, so say hello to them. Of course, they may also pretend not to see you. ”

"Then I'll call them."

"Remember to use English, oh, if the band is correct, maybe there will be radio amateurs or heavy radio enthusiasts on the ground in the United States to hear your broadcast."

"Hmm."

Xiaolu looked up at the timer, knowing that the communication relay would end in a few seconds.

"Goodbye, Dad."

The response did not come, it seems that Xiaolu left the relay range before Lin Youde responded.

Xiaolu continued to look at the earth, she was flying into the shadows of the earth, the other side of the earth was at night, and the lights on the ground could be seen.

"The ground has turned to the stars."

Xiaolu whispered.

"Awesome."

When Xiaolu's spaceship completely entered the shadow of the earth itself, communication and static noise from the Americans floated out of the loudspeaker together: "Miss Lin Lu, Miss Lin Lu, can you hear me?" ”

"Yes, very clearly."

"Hello, how does it feel to travel through the universe?"

"I'm not interested in talking to people who don't know how to behave."

"Ah, that's an oversight, sorry. I'm Howard Stark, an American arms contractor. Hello, Miss Lin Lu. ”

"Hello."

"How does it feel to be up there?"

"It's fantastic. Good enough that I can tolerate your rudeness. ”

The other party seemed to be laughing, but the static noise was very loud, and Xiaolu was not particularly sure.

"Miss Lin Lu, although it is unlikely, I still want to ask, are you interested in coming to the United States?"

"Nope. I have no interest in the poor country that is destined not to win the space race. ”

This time, Xiaolu was sure that she heard the other party's dry laughter, and then the communication loop fell silent for a while.

After a while, Xiaolu whispered: "The United States has very beautiful lights, so obvious that you can tell where is the United States and Mexico and Canada by the intensity of the lights at a glance." ”

"Thank you."

"However, I always felt that the United States had absorbed the light of the rest of the Americas. It is despicable that you have darkened other countries and adorned your own night with absorbed light. ”

"As far as I know, Germany is also 'absorbing light' from everywhere, and we can only say that we are not each other, Miss Lin Lu."

"Maybe."

Xiao Lu didn't say anything more, but manipulated the attitude control engine to turn the ship's body, so that the porthole was facing the starry sky again.

The starry sky was as clear as Lu had imagined, but correspondingly, the starlight became more difficult to detect with the naked eye, and Lu knew that it was because of the lack of atmospheric scattering. The absence of scattering makes the starlight clearer, but also because there is no scattering, it is also more difficult for humans to identify the starry sky.

This is not a problem for Xiaolu, in Xiaolu's eyes, the stars in the sky are clearly visible.

Xiaolu didn't speak for a long time, just stared at the starry sky in a daze, and there was only a slight sound of mechanical operation and Xiaolu's own breathing in the entire spaceship cabin.

I don't know how long it took, but the voice of the voice came from the loudspeaker again: "Miss Five, this is the Potsdam Control Center." ”

"Control zhì center, I'm fine."

"We've captured your image, did the flight go smoothly?"

"By the way, the Americans contacted me, a man named Howard Stark, who seemed to want to turn against me, and I refused."

"Uh, this ......" The control center seemed to be in a dilemma, not knowing how to answer Xiaolu's words.

At this time, Lin Youde's voice came: "Those people will not seriously consider conquering space at all, this kind of thing with huge investment and no short-term benefits, capitalists will not do it." ”

"Well, I know, Dad." Xiaolu paused, "Dad, I think I don't want to go down a little bit." ”

"That's not going to work, we need to verify the ship's return function. In addition, even if Xiaolu can live without food or water, can you bear to live without anything good to eat? ”

"I can't." Xiaolu shook her head decisively.

"Right. So we still have a lot to do. But in the future, we can build space farms and space factories, and then human society will migrate to the universe. ”

"Then there will be a war of independence for the inhabitants of the universe." The fox's voice interjected, "It will definitely be like that." The values and perceptions of the inhabitants of the universe and the people of the earth will be deviated, and eventually the deviation will be so large that they cannot understand each other, and then war will break out. Don't, don't push me, it's okay if I say something now that I'm not on the air, right? ”

"Okay Xiaolu, don't pay attention to your mother Chihiro, she's always like this."

"I think she has a point." Xiaolu said softly, "Even in the cosmic era, human beings will continue to fight and kill each other. ”

Lin Youde was silent on the radio for a while, and Xiaolu guessed that his father was sighing—well, he must be sighing. Xiaolu can even imagine Lin Youde's helpless face.

Finally, Lin Youde said: "Yes, they will definitely fight each other, human beings are like that, even if they have almost unlimited resources, it is easier to rob others of what they have already developed than to develop them yourself--there are definitely not a few people who think like this." In addition, there will be residents of the new colony who are dissatisfied with the continuous absorption of resources from the home planet, thus raising a counter-flag, and there will certainly be no shortage of such things. Even in the cosmic age, human beings will continue to kill each other. When I think about it, my pride in developing the universe suddenly diminishes. ”

Xiaolu smiled, she knew that her father's last sentence must have been a joke.

At this moment, the fox's voice came from the megaphone again: "It doesn't have to be like this, if we go to the universe and we find aliens who can't understand each other at all, then it is possible to share the same hatred." ”

"About the existence of aliens," Sophie's voice interjected, "I think there is a paradox in the existence of the zài. If the aliens were more advanced than us, they should have found us by now. If the aliens are not as advanced as us, then we will enslave the aliens and continue to fight each other. So it's naïve to think that aliens can stop humans from killing each other. ”

"Little Sophie is always so realistic, obviously an impulsive girl who will spend a lot of energy developing fake breasts."

"I—I'm not impulsive!"

Xiaolu listened to the idle chatter on the radio without any nervousness, and her face was full of smiles.

If one day Xiaolu suddenly doesn't want to go far anymore, the reason must be because she cherishes the current family atmosphere.

"It's going to be out of the relay range again, Dad." Xiaolu said, "I'll see you in an hour." ”

"Ah, okay."

On October 19, 1954, Lin Lu's spacecraft landed in the Mediterranean Sea, and on the 20th, Lin Lu returned to Germany and was greeted with a heroic welcome, and on the same day Viola won the general election and would begin her new term in February 1955.

The history of the Lin family has turned a more glorious page.
