Chapter 349: NASA
Plane: Interstellar
Identity: Pang Xuelin, 35 years old, scientist, astronaut, farmer
World Background: In 2043, eight years after the end of the Ninth Region World, the counterattack of the shrimp civilization has led to the death of transformed people within ten years, the vast majority of vegetation on the earth is infected with the wilt virus and is dying day by day, food crops are on the verge of extinction due to the impact of diseases, the land is desertified, precipitation is reduced, and the total human population has dropped to less than 50 million.
Mission: Use Project Lazarus to help humanity find a new planet of immigrants.
Rewards:
1. Randomly select a technology from this plane as a reward
2. Reward the host with a chance to return to the world they have experienced.
Pang Xuelin pondered for a moment, got up and got dressed, and walked downstairs to see Cromwell Oliver, the former director of the academic committee of the pale-haired Antarctic base, setting up dinner plates, and his wife Chrissy humming a song and busy in the kitchen.
At the beginning of the ninth region of the world, Cromwell Oliver entered the Antarctic base to work hard for the continuation of human civilization, and later Pang Xuelin took the Chrissy sisters to find Oliver, so that the three grandparents and grandchildren could be reunited.
Now, ten years have passed since that time.
Compared to the youth of the world in the ninth district, Chrissy in front of her is much plumper, but her face is still the same, and the years do not seem to have left many traces on her face.
Thinking of the girl who gave her body to herself before she left the base and said that she was going to give birth to a child, a trace of tenderness appeared on Pang Xuelin's face and he was about to speak.
At this moment, a soft voice suddenly came from behind him: "Baba! ”
Pang Xuelin turned his head and saw a little mixed-race girl like a porcelain doll, blinking at him with a pair of big sapphire eyes. Her black hair is tied into a beautiful braid, and her eyebrows and eyes are a bit like Chrissy, but her mouth and nose are more like herself.
An unprecedented feeling surged into Pang Xuelin's heart, and this feeling of blood connection made Pang Xuelin instantly burst into tears.
"Murphy!"
Pang Xuelin subconsciously squatted down and opened his arms.
"Baba!"
Little Murphy trotted all the way into Pang Xuelin's arms.
Pang Xuelin picked up little Murphy and kissed Murphy on the face several times, making the little girl giggle because of the stubble.
"Okay, you father and daughter, don't make trouble, hurry up and come over for dinner."
Chrissy glanced at Pang Xuelin with disgust and said.
Pang Xuelin smiled and hugged little Murphy to the table.
Breakfast was corn paste with pickled cucumbers and a small piece of roasted venison per person.
Pang Xuelin was reluctant to let go when he hugged Little Murphy, so he first sent a bite to the little girl's mouth, and then he also took a bite.
Chrissy said, "Murphy, don't pester Dad, eat by yourself." ”
Pang Xuelin smiled: "No need, I'll hold and feed her." ”
Chrissy said: "Husband, how can there be such a thing as you, little Murphy is about to be spoiled by you!" ”
Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "I'm willing, Murphy, do you like Dad to hug you like this?" ”
"I like it."
Little Murphy blinked her big beautiful eyes and said glutinously.
Chrissy glanced at Pang Xuelin, a little savory: "Murphy, we don't want Dad to hug you, Mom hug you, okay?" ”
Murphy looked at Pang Xuelin, then at Chrissy, and said timidly: "Okay then." ”
"Ha, little Murphy is so good!"
Chrissy bent down and snatched Murphy from Pang Xuelin's arms at once.
At this time, Cromwell Oliver on the side smiled and said, "Okay, you husband and wife, look at what little Murphy has been wronged, Murphy, come to your great-grandfather's arms." ”
"Grandpa!"
Oliver spoke, and Chrissy was helpless.
So Murphy was grabbed by Oliver again, and Pang Xuelin and Chrissy looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
After eating, Chrissy cleaned up the kitchen, then changed into work clothes, put on a hat and said: "Husband, I'm going to harvest corn, you send little Murphy to school, by the way, remember to pick up Big Murphy from NASA when you come back at night, just say that grandpa misses her." The girl has been less and less at home since she went to NASA. ”
"Good!"
Pang Xuelin nodded and took Murphy into a dilapidated pickup truck.
The surface of the pickup truck was covered with traces of sand and dust erosion, but after the ignition, the car was in surprisingly good condition.
The car started and quickly disappeared at the end of the road along the lush cornfields on both sides.
Chrissy boarded a harvester and began to work in the fields.
Along the way, what appeared in front of Pang Xuelin was a desolate and barren world.
Except for the occasional patches of turquoise cornfields, the vegetation in most areas has become barren and discolored, and there is not a single one left.
There were also clouds of dust floating in the sky, all of which were the product of the sandstorm.
Pang Xuelin followed the memories instilled in him by the system, and took little Murphy to a small town ten kilometers away.
Murphy attended elementary school in the town's public school.
"Murphy, listen to the teacher at school, and Dad will come back to pick you up in the evening!"
"Good-drop, goodbye dad."
"Murphy goodbye!"
Seeing Murphy's figure disappear at the gate of the school, Pang Xuelin turned around and left, preparing to drive to NASA.
The corners of Pang Xuelin's mouth curled slightly, and the barren and decaying world along the way failed to change his mood.
It was the first time he had had children in the dimensional world, and this feeling of blood connection made him feel very happy.
It wasn't until he came to NASA that Pang Xuelin's mood gradually became solemn.
NASA has only been formed in recent years, and due to the spread of the blight, the reconstituted human government on Earth has had to turn its gaze again to outer space in search of a way out of civilization.
However, the catastrophe of that year dealt a devastating blow to the scientific research strength of human society.
Especially in the aerospace sector, talent is extremely scarce.
The current head of the entire aerospace department is Professor Brand, and under the leadership of Professor Brand, mankind is building a large combined spacecraft, Eternal Night, in geosynchronous orbit.
Of course, this so-called large scale is only relative to the current level of human technology, and the Tia and Goethe spaceships of the shrimp people civilization in the Ninth Region World are just equivalent to a small sampan.
Even compared to the Hermes spacecraft of the Martian World, it is much inferior.
The total mass of the Eternal Night is less than three thousand tons, of which the mass of fuel accounts for more than half.
According to Professor Brand's Lazarus Plan, human civilization sent the first adventurers to travel through the wormhole near Mars on the Eternal Night to find a new home for humanity in the New World.
Thirty-five-year-old Pang Xuelin is officially one of the core members of this program.
