Mourning...... Cheng Lin glanced at the white bloated spacesuits, and thought to himself that this color was really appropriate.

As for the meaning, it is even more appropriate, after all, no matter whether this mission is successful or not, there is no chance that these fifteen of them will survive.

Hearing Li Yang's words, the others showed a relieved smile from their dullness, and the dull atmosphere was broken for a while.

A few of them ran over excitedly, picked up a set corresponding to their names, compared them, and said with a smile: "It's the first time in our lives to wear this." ”

The first and last time.

The rest of the people also snuffed out their cigarette butts and stood up, Cheng Lin walked over and picked up the set with his name written on it, and put it on with the help of the staff next to him, this thing really can't be worn without guidance, and there are some buttons on the surface, including the most important oxygen bag.

Because it is deep into the plant, it is impossible to use a pipeline to transport oxygen from the spacecraft, it can only be carried by itself, for the special mission, these spacesuits are customized and modified, increasing oxygen reserves, but also adding weight, but it is not a problem in the weightless environment of space.

"Click."

Buckle the buckle on the belt, Cheng Lin also figured out the use of the clothes, and felt that it was quite heavy and very stuffy.

He looked down and saw a special metal area sewn on the surface of his chest on his chest, and when he pressed it, a spot of light began to flicker.

"This is the signal source, which can detect vital signs, corresponding to each person, so that the ground can determine whether the person wearing the clothes is dead through the signal, and it also has the role of positioning, so that as long as one of us is alive, the ground can know where we are."

Shen Shanjing explained, pausing: "Or, more precisely, knowing the location of the warhead." ”

Yes, as he said before, these fifteen "viruses" are too small for the "plant overlords" to attract much attention, but the "immunity" inside the plants alone must be a great obstacle to them.

Perhaps, people will die on the way in, and many people may die.

And as long as there is one person alive, it is necessary to take over the task of carrying the warhead and move forward.

"I see." Cheng Lin pursed his lips, nodded, didn't say anything, and then pulled the corners of his mouth, not wanting to be infected by the surrounding atmosphere, but it seemed that it was difficult to do.

After studying it, everyone took off their spacesuits again, this thing is too uncomfortable to wear, and after getting familiar with it, it will be too late to wear it when you go out.

Cheng Lin thought that he would take advantage of the time to conduct some training on the knowledge of space shuttle control, but he didn't, according to Shen Shanjing, the real astronauts of the people want to collect samples and return home, but they don't need to.

"You've watched costume war dramas, right? There is a kind of 'rocket', heh, not the kind of rocket that we are going to sit on, but a 'rocket' that wraps an flammable material around the tip of an arrow, ignites it, and shoots it out with a whizz, and we are like that burning fire. ”

Shen Shanjing stroked the round spacesuit helmet, looking at the real-time image of the universe displayed on the big screen in front of him, taken by the satellite, and his eyes seemed to be really burning.

In the quiet, fifteen people sat together, chatting a little bit, talking about cars, houses, gossip and news, talking about the "little things" that were always mentioned after tea and dinner in peacetime, but not about life and death.

There is no such thing as a lamentation of generosity, for the nation, for the country, for mankind and so on, and those who can sit here have already embraced the heart of death, and it seems very boring to talk about those things.

Time passed little by little, and five hours later, the kitchen delivered a meal that was not sumptuous, the specifications were very simple, not reluctant, but considering that the action could not be affected by satiety.

The food is mainly porridge and steamed buns, and fifteen people sit together and nibble on steamed buns, eating very slowly and slowly, as if every bite is particularly worth cherishing.

While eating, Cheng Lin saw that the taciturn young man who had entered the team with him through the "application" suddenly began to shed tears, and the tears fell into the white porridge.

The other dozen or so men and women with tense faces seemed to be tugged at by his actions, and then spread like an infection one by one, even Shen Shan Kyoto turned his head after sensing his gaze, and then continued to eat as if nothing happened.

Cheng Lin silently infected in this indescribable atmosphere, unconsciously picked up the bowl and took a sip, the porridge was very thick, very warm, and very salty.

Finally, just as the clock was eighth, several people received orders to act.

Shi Shengcun stood up, took the lead in putting on the spacesuit, holding the helmet between his left arm, and said in a calm and light voice: "Let's go." ”

Li Yang, who was leaning against the corner, pressed the first number of thin cigarettes against the wall, then exhaled, raised his voice and picked up his helmet: "Get up, go!" ”

"Gone!"

"Gone!"

A man spat out these two words as if cathartic, got dressed, grabbed his helmet, huddled together, walked out, walked down the hallway to the metal door at the end, and then saw the two sliding doors move to the left and right.

In the next second, fifteen people were stunned, and they were stunned to see that outside the door, in the hall of the launch center, the white marble floor reflecting the light was full of people.

It was the researchers at the launch center, the officers and soldiers who had been transferred from an unknown army in charge of the guards, the other Awoken from the Bureau of Abilities who had not been selected, and everyone in the building except for the necessary technical operators.

Hundreds of people of different clothes, genders, identities, and ages stood quietly behind the door, their hands down, and waited in silence, only in the center of the hall, leaving a narrow path in the direction of the door.

"It's ......"

Fifteen people were stunned at the door, at a loss for a moment, Shi Shengcun subconsciously looked at Liang Jing who was standing in front, his lips moved, he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Liang Jing seemed to understand his thoughts, and just shook his head.

In the next second, she suddenly took a deep breath, waved her right arm up, put her palm straight across her head, and then shouted in a slightly hoarse voice: "Salute!" ”

Then, as if it had been rehearsed countless times, in the huge launch center, hundreds, thousands of staff, no matter where they were, all raised their right arms at the same time, their fingers were level, and they were put together on the side, making a neat brushing sound!

No passionate preaching!

No generous statements!

There's nothing to show!

No drums, no flowers, no hustle and bustle!

Only solemnity!

Silent solemnity!

A silent solemn ritual rendered by countless pairs of firm, moist eyes, and countless straight, trembling hands!

In silence, fifteen people straightened their waists almost at the same time, and then I don't know who took the lead in picking up the space helmet clamped under the armpit, holding it with both hands, and putting it on in public.

Cheng Lin stared at everything quietly, followed everything almost mechanically, put on his helmet, tightened the zipper, and then slowly but forcefully walked along the narrow and snowy road, facing countless pairs of eyes and walking out of the door, and then walked towards the rocket launcher that had already been erected not far away.

When they walked out of the gate, they suddenly heard Liang Jing's shout behind them:

"We're going to watch you from the ground, watching each and every one of you! The universe is cold, but I want you to remember that there are seven billion people with you behind you! ”

The footsteps stopped slightly, and after that, the fifteen people continued on their way, no longer hesitating.

……

……

Fifteen minutes later, Cheng Lin sat in his own seat inside the rocket, and confirmed for the fifth time that it was firmly tied.

Immediately, he exhaled softly, glanced at his familiar and unfamiliar companions around him, and heard the sound of a countdown coming from inside the rocket.

“10、9、8……”

“4、3、2…… 1…… 0……”

"Ignition!!"

In the next second, there was a boom, the huge rocket launch tower opened, and a thick white fog rose up, and on a global scale, the three rockets of the Xia Kingdom, the Federation, and the Soviet Union, carrying three 10-million-ton warheads, officially lifted off!
