After more than half a year in Tiandu, Nessa has been to many places, but the big white roof of the central square is not among them.

The President's Residence is a white neoclassical building, divided into the main building and the east and west wings, which is also the residence and office of the president. It is the center of federal power and is known to the population as the "Big White Roof".

Today, Nessa came here with Ye Zhan, the Four King Kongs, and a hundred scientific research workers. In a low-key manner, she wore a coffee-colored plaid trench coat and her long hair hidden under a fisherman's hat, dressed in a very neutral style.

As he passed by the South Lawn, Ye Zhan pointed to an ancient magnolia and whispered: "This is planted by the thirtieth president of the Federation to commemorate his deceased wife, who is said to be 'the most infatuated president in history'." This magnolia bears witness to their love and the history of the Federation. ”

Nessa's eyes flowed, and she glanced at "the most infatuated president in history", thoughtfully, and blurted out: "The most is life and death, without thinking, unforgettable." ”

The four King Kongs are used to being critted, and those scientific research boys are all single dogs, I don't know who sighed lightly: "A pretty sister fell from the sky." ”

Ye Ling turned his head, blinked with his right eye, and gestured like a pistol.

The group entered the banquet hall on the second floor of the main building. This room is in the style of the Constitutional Era, and there are paintings of art from that era on the walls. As Nessa passed by, she involuntarily stopped in front of one of them, and depicted the monarch and queen crowning an earl. And around the queen's neck, she wears a gorgeous colored diamond necklace like a waterfall.

Extravagant!

Stopping for only two seconds, Nessa walked forward with a composure expression.

Ye Zhan didn't expect to see the necklace mentioned by the designer of Waffle in the president's residence, the world is very small, and there are always many coincidences in people's encounters.

Through the nameplate, Nessa saw that some of the government dignitaries, NASA executives, and academics were present at today's awards, including professors.

Ye Zhan's seat was in the first row, next to the director of NASA. Nessa wanted to sit in the second row, but Professor Lian coughed: "If you are a student, of course you should sit next to the teacher." ”

Nessa looked at the arrogant Professor Lian, obediently called "Teacher", took off her hat, and sat down next to her.

"Professor Lian, is this a doctoral student or a graduate student you are leading?" The head of the space agency was clearly surprised. Because this girl is too young and beautiful.

Professor Lian rolled his eyelids, and was quite proud, "It's a student and a disciple." ”

Students are closer to each other than graduate and doctoral students. "Ye Shao, Nessa is extremely talented, put more thought and energy, and the future achievements are limitless."

The implication is that don't patronize falling in love and abandoning your studies.

Ye Zhan had already heard about the Zhenxiang incident, "That's natural, this recyclable rocket was successfully launched, and Nessa also contributed to it." ”

The director of NASA and Professor Lian were surprised, it was too surprising.

All the personnel were in place, and the office director Jia Lin stepped onto the podium. "Half a century ago, when the Union first sent astronauts to the moon, the astronauts said, 'One small step for him, but one giant leap for humanity.'" Later, the Federation established the Xinghui Award, which aims to reward institutions and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the work of the Federal Space Science and Technology Department. Three days ago, in this launch that took place at the Tianmo base, Mr. Ye Zhan single-handedly advanced the Federation's aerospace industry by a big step. He is our hero. Next, I would like to invite Mr. Ye Zhan to the stage. ”

In the eyes of hundreds of people, Ye Zhan walked onto the podium, there was no bright magnesium light, but he was still dazzling. He smiled and greeted the audience.

"Next, I would like to ask the President to award Mr. Ye Zhan the honor."

The federal president's name is Rob, he is in his sixties and in good spirits, and this is his ninth year in office. The term of office of the President is five years, with a maximum of two consecutive terms. Next year will usher in a presidential change.

The president handed a heavy Xinghui trophy into Ye Zhan's hand. "Thank you for your contribution to the Federation and for your contribution to the Starry Sky Universe. The existence of Sky Dome Space Exploration will also inspire NASA to continue to innovate, and you deserve great credit. ”

Ye Zhan took a group photo with the president, and one of the few authoritative media outlets of the federal mouthpiece in the audience filmed this scene.

"By the decision of the Federal Parliament, at the same time you will be awarded the rank of Major, I hope that you will continue to work hard to create another meritorious service for the Federation. Is there anything you'd like to tell you about? ”

Compared with the awards ceremony of the Carona Film Festival, the scene of the Xinghui Award is too low-key, and there are only more than 200 people in the audience, but the meaning is completely different. Ye Zhan saw his girl, his partner who had been fighting side by side for many years, and the new but high-spirited young scientific researcher, and his heart rose and fell.

"This award is not for me alone. If I could, I would like my most trusted friend, Doctor Yang, to stand with me. Without his eight years of dedication, there would be no success today. He asked the president and the director Garin with his eyes. The president agreed.

Doctor Yang is actually only thirty-five years old this year, but his face has already changed from the vicissitudes of life, it is a masterpiece of desert wind and sand, the result of countless nights of painstaking solitude and hard work. But he still has fire in his heart and light in his eyes.

Ye Zhan hugged him.

"Also, Mark, who can't be here today, is the most amazing astronaut in my mind, and there are more than 10,000 unknown astronauts in the Tianmo base." Ye Zhan looked around and suddenly raised his voice, "But in fact, I also want to thank someone, a person who led me on this path, a person who still helped me after I left this world for twenty years, and he is also my girlfriend's grandfather." Maybe many people don't remember his name anymore, or maybe they hide him deep in their hearts, or with respect, or with contempt, or with fear. ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Zhan's body, holding their breath.

Nessa frowned, controlling her emotions, but her chest was on fire. She guessed what he was going to say. She couldn't appeal to the wishes of the mouth, he understood them all.

"He has been lost in history, but he should not be forgotten. His name is Wei Gaoxiang, former academician of the Federal Academy of Sciences, former scientific advisor of the Federal Space Administration, former honorary dean and tenured professor of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Tiandu University, winner of the highest achievement award of the Xinghui Award three times, and Wei Gaoxiang, the founder of Jingcheng Jingkuang Company. Mr. President, I don't want personal honor, but I hope to be bright and fair to the elderly. ”

Back then, after Wei Gaoxiang suffered the collapse of the mine, the federation erased all traces of his existence in the name of monopolizing the country's important resources and threatening national security, resulting in many young people not knowing this person at all. And today, Ye Zhan took advantage of such a grand ceremony to make this request.

Professor Lian looked at his students incredulously, no wonder the talent is so outstanding, and the family gene is inherited. The old Wei back then was an existence that he had to look up to!

President Rob didn't expect Ye Zhan to throw out such a thorny problem, which involved the previous president, and it was difficult to make a conclusion easily. He has more than a year to retire from office. He went to the Xihu Mansion many times to understand the strength of this family, and he hoped that his descendants could also get the support of this family.

"Mr. Ye Zhan, your request will be handled carefully by the Federation and the entire parliament, but it will take time to investigate and collect evidence. But at least one thing, I can promise that Wei Lao should not be erased, he can enter the textbooks of students, the city's museums, his elegance and deeds, worthy of everyone's admiration. ”
