Chapter 17 Bringing in and going out
"Damn, what's wrong with this chef? Vinegar in a wine bottle? Jiang Zi scolded.
"The chef is from Shanxi." Liang Jing explained.
"I'm still a Cantonese, and I don't stuff a Fujianese in the cabinet." Jiang Zi's hope of having a drink on Chinese New Year's Eve was dashed, and he was particularly disappointed, and it was strictly forbidden to drink alcohol during working hours at Cassini Station, but there were no restrictions during vacations, and the last time Jiang Zi tasted alcohol was two months ago - the food distribution in Cassini Station was all under the jurisdiction of Wan Kai, although he was called a chef, and it sounded like a chef who graduated from New Oriental, in fact, he was a high-achieving student from the University of Pennsylvania, and his official position was "Cassini Station Nutrition and Health Planner".
So Wan Kai said that if he couldn't drink it, he couldn't drink it, and the stationmaster couldn't drink it.
Jiang Zi punched the energy chamber angrily.
He wanted to kick with his foot, but he couldn't lift it.
"Mr. Stationmaster, please note that in front of you is a steady-state DT fusion reactor, just three meters in front of you, there is a high-temperature plasma of 100 million degrees Celsius, and one meter in front of you, there is a high-energy neutron absorbing material." "If the absorbent material breaks and leaks, the extravehicular suit cannot provide effective protection. โ
"Okay, okay, scare me, I'm more familiar with this thing than you." Jiang Zi waved his hand, "Have you ever seen the shell of this thing?" Armor-piercing bullets can't be pierced. โ
He connected the cables, Dabai began to restart the control circuit, the repair work was quite smooth, it didn't take more than ten minutes from beginning to end, Jiang Zi packed up and prepared to go home.
"Why do you think I'm staying here, repairing the power supply outside for the Chinese New Year, and I can't even drink wine." Jiang Zi inserted the screwdriver and wrench into the toolbox in turn, and sighed, "I really can't get along with myself, at my age, I should have taken a back seat a long time ago, sitting in an office on the earth, drinking with friends and playing golf on vacation, how long will this mission end?" After the end......"
"Are you going to say that you're going to wash your hands after this vote?" Dabai interrupted him.
"It's not." Jiang Zi was stunned, "Why are you asking this?" โ
"I need to stop you from putting up a flag if necessary." Dabai explained, "According to incomplete statistics, as long as promises such as 'I will wash my hands after this vote' and 'I will go home and get married after this battle' appear, the speaker's accidental mortality rate will soar to 1,200% of the normal mortality rate in the next month, in other words, I am protecting you." โ
"I mean, after this mission, I'm going to see my daughter, she's just started college, and I don't even have time to go to her opening ceremony for the sake of this place where birds don't."
"Ling Yuan will be proud of you."
", she doesn't understand me." Jiang Zi grinned, a little helpless, this middle-aged man who has always been rough and nervous showed a little loneliness between his eyebrows, "Her mother has taken care of her since she was a child, and I haven't signed her homework, so that girl has long since denied me as a father." โ
"Then you should deepen your bond with your daughter." Dabai suggested, "Do you need me to open a family line for you?" You can record a greeting video every night, and I will help you send it to Ling Yuan. โ
Jiang Zi was stunned and shook his head for a while.
"Forget it."
"The rift in the relationship between father and daughter should be repaired as soon as possible, otherwise the conflict will develop irreconcilable."
Jiang Zi picked up the toolbox, the exoskeleton was loosened and fixed, and the spikes inserted into the ice were slowly pulled out, and he reached out to grab the safety rope, "She has a new father." โ
Dabai was silent for a few seconds.
"Let me ask you more, Mr. Stationmaster, are you green?"
"Uncle Green!" Jiang Zi was furious, and then he fell silent again, "I did it myself, it's not their fault, do you think, who will live with me for a person like me who can't go home for several years in a row?" When my daughter was one year old, I went on a mission to Mars, and when I went back, the girl was three and a half years old, and she couldn't even recognize me because she had only seen me in the video. โ
"Let me tell you, to engage in deep space exploration, monks and Taoists who have no desires are the most suitable." Jiang Zi continued, "They don't have to drag their families with them, otherwise you won't even know how old your son has grown up after ten or eight years, but after a hundred years, the Buddha will still be the Buddha, and the Sanqing will still be the Sanqing." โ
"I'll suggest it to my superiors."
The white fog has not yet dissipated, all around are dim yellow, dark yellow is the original color of the atmosphere, itself Titan is a planet with severe haze for 1,832 days a year, the appearance of white fog only aggravates the severity of the haze, the spotlight of the Iron Floating Turf is diffused in the fog, Jiang Zi grabbed the safety rope and returned the same way, this rope comes from an unknown place, and goes to an unknown place.
Jiang Zi and Dabai chatted casually, Dabai is a good listener and tree hole, because you know that it can't actually understand what you're saying, but it will keep saying "yes, you're right" and "yes, you're undoubtedly right", and ask questions when appropriate to show that he is fully interested in your topic.
"Let me tell you, what is the future of mankind? Of course, it is the vast starry sky, and only a civilization that is constantly pioneering is hopeful, and I said in my report to my superiors that we must persist in going out and bringing in, grasping both hands, and both hands must be firm. Before Jiang Zi could drink, he blew up, "What do you mean by going out?" That is, personnel, funds, and technology must be expanded outward, to the moon, to Mars, to the orbit of Saturn, what is the introduction? It's these things that will eventually flow back and feed back to the earth. โ
"Yes, you're right."
"Compared with the prospect of a great civilization, individual emotions are small, and some sacrifices are inevitable." Jiang Zi said eloquently, "What kind of reputation and status, money and wealth, and children's personal affection, compared to the starry sky above our heads, what is it?" You say, don't you? โ
"Yes, you are undoubtedly right."
"I only hate that I was born five hundred years early, and if I had been born five hundred years later, I might have seen the day when humanity walked out of the galaxy." At this moment, Jiang Zi looked like an idealist and a poet.
"Mr. Stationmaster, would you be willing to exchange your honorary status for the prospect of a great civilization?"
"Of course I do." Jiang Zi is selfless, informal, and self-sacrificing for everyone, "I am an ordinary man, if I can make such a great contribution to all mankind, I am willing." โ
"Would you then trade your monetary wealth for the prospect of a great civilization?"
"Absolutely." Jiang Zi regarded money as dung, "Money is useless, I don't love money in my life." โ
"Exchange Ling Yuan for a great literary ......"
"Get out! What bullshit civilization prospects, how can my daughter be important? Who dares to touch my daughter, I want his dog's life! โ

Eko returned to Cassini Station and removed the safety rope in front of the door of the airlock chamber.
"Dabai, open the door." Jiang Zi pressed the button on the hatch door of the airlock room, "Lou Qi, Liang Jing, I'm back, there may be some problems with this set of Tiefutu's left arm motor, ready to be repaired, do you hear?" Lou Qi? Liang Jing? โ
"Hee-hee."
Jiang Zi was stunned.
"Huh? Stationmaster? I heard you, I didn't wear headphones just now, is there a problem with Tiefutu's left arm motor? โ
"Yes." Jiang Zi replied, "The movement is a little stiff, let's take it apart and see what went wrong, what were you laughing at just now?" โ
"Laugh?" Lou Qi wondered, "Probably tacitly, right?" She had just walked past me, humming and chirping. โ
"I didn't hear anyone laugh either." Liang Jing said.
Jiang Zi shook the raindrops on his body and got into the airlock chamber, "I'm in." โ
The red light came on, and the airlock chamber door slowly closed behind him, and with a dull thud, the lock cylinder turned and snapped.
