Chapter 5 Goodbye is twenty years later, and we are the same age
Turning left and right in the city, Liu Xuan found that the city is still good, although the scenery is projected by a holographic projector, but if you really want to rely on your feelings, you can't feel any difference. There are not only researchers in the city, but also many logistics support personnel, holographic cinemas, cafes, restaurants, ....... a lot, but they are generally operating at a loss, and these researchers rarely go to these places.
The dense streets are interconnected and criss-crossed, giving a dazzling feeling. When the designer designed the city at that time, it was not haphazardly arranged, when you get lost in the city, no matter how you go, according to psychology and human instinct, you will go to the center of the city, which reminds Liu Xuan of the old saying thousands of years ago: "All roads lead to Rome." ”
Li Ping introduced to Liu Xuan as she walked, there is no need for currency here, everything is supplied for free. Liu Xuan could feel Li Ping's anxiety, as a researcher, he actually wanted to be Liu Xuan's guide, which made Li Ping very unhappy. But out of orders and professional ethics from above, Li Ping took care of this newcomer as much as possible.
After walking for a long time, Liu Xuan felt that Li Ping was lost, and they finally arrived at the place Li Ping said.
This is the center of the city, there is no huge rocket on the previous floor, only a very large one-story building, no special dress, no excessive luxury, this building is all snow-white color, as long as the gilded characters on the sign at the door show the extraordinaryness of this building: the sea of stars.
The simple four words brought Liu Xuan endless fantasies, thinking of his dream, Liu Xuan chuckled, and now he finally has a little understanding of what his father felt back then, and he would rather abandon the attraction that his wife and children have to explore.
The starry sky is really a dangerous attraction, and in the past thousand years, how many astronauts have fallen into this dangerous attraction, but the future generations have no fear at all, more like a moth that fights the fire, blooming the most brilliant fireworks at the last moment of life.
Without the slightest stop, Li Ping took Liu Xuan into this "sea of stars". After entering, Liu Xuan found that there was no place to sell tickets, not even guards, and there were only a few people inside, staring at the pictures and items in front of him with teary eyes. This is a memorial to the astronauts who were summoned by the stars.
"This is a sacred place for all researchers, and no one will try to destroy it, so there is no guard in the slightest." Li Ping introduced to Liu Xuan, in fact, she also said the latter sentence in her heart: When someone destroys here, it proves that there is no need for the city to exist.
Liu Xuan nodded slightly, and slowly approached those exhibits, and his steps were light, to show his absolute respect for these people.
Walking lightly from the corridor, his eyes did not leave those commemorative photos and introductions, a personal name, an event passed in front of him, Liu Xuan's footsteps were getting faster and faster, his heart was looking forward to it, looking forward to the person who made him think about it day by day.
Later, Liu Xuan didn't even care about the weight of his steps, and strode towards the depths of the memorial, Li Ping pouted slightly, a little angry, he didn't understand how Liu Xuan could become like this, but she had no choice, so she had to trot all the way behind Liu Xuan. The whole memorial hall saw this strange scene: a big man striding forward in front of him, his eyes fixed on the wall, and the woman behind him trotted all the way to follow the man in front of him. The two of them are like a couple who are arguing.
Suddenly, Liu Xuan stopped, his face was serious, his eyes were staring at an introduction on the wall, Li Ping didn't expect Liu Xuan to stop suddenly, and almost hit him directly, Li Ping originally wanted to remind Liu Xuan a few words, but when he saw Liu Xuan's expression, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Liu Xuan's eyes staring at the wall gradually dimmed, and Li Ping could see Liu Xuan's eyes gradually turning red. Liu Xuan grabbed his sleeve tightly, but his eyes were getting redder and redder, how many years, how many years have I not seen that person? Liu Xuan dug into his childhood memories little by little, trying to remind himself of this man's appearance and character.
Liu Xuan knelt on the ground suddenly, just like that, before the introduction on the wall, crying silently, tears raining down.
couldn't control his emotions at all, in this very quiet memorial hall, Liu Xuansheng burst into tears, attracting the attention of everyone in the memorial hall.
Li Ping was also confused by this scene, and she also looked at the report on the wall: Astronaut Liu Qingyun and the three will set off on the "Discovery" to explore the mysteries of the universe. There is also a picture on it, a man who has an eight-point resemblance to Liu Xuan, is standing in front of the rocket in a spacesuit. The man in the photo is about thirty years old, about the same as Liu Xuan now.
The man in the photo is still so young, he hasn't grown in age in the slightest, and now his sons are all his age, and he went to explore the universe and still hasn't returned. Two generations, separated by a layer of tempered glass, finally met after 20 years. None of them are wrong, they complain that reality is too cruel and time is too cruel.
Li Ping wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't persuade Liu Xuan at all, and that kind of pain could not be resolved with half a word.
After a long time, Liu Xuan finally controlled his emotions, he stood up gently, looked at the person in front of him with red eyes, stretched out his sleeve and touched a handful of tears, just like when he was a child, after being scolded by his mother, Liu Xuan cried and threw himself into Liu Qingyun's arms, Liu Qingyun comforted Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan stretched out his dirty sleeve to wipe the tears on his face. How many years has this scene been?
After Liu Xuan wiped away his tears, he said to Liu Qingyun as he did back then: I want to be a person like my father in the future! It's just that now there is no big hand that caresses the head and refreshing words.
Tick tick!
As soon as Liu Xuan sorted out his emotions, the bracelet on Li Ping's hand remembered, Li Ping turned around and turned his back to the bracelet message that Liu Xuan answered.
"What?! I'll go right over. Li Ping closed the bracelet communication with a serious face and glanced back at Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan nodded at her, indicating that he could.
"We're looking at all the emergencies, and we need to get there right away." Li Ping couldn't care about how sad Liu Xuan was just now, and her tone was full of anxiety.
"Okay." Liu Xuan's answer was simple and direct.
Li Ping turned around and ran towards the exit, and Liu Xuan also hurriedly followed. He will never forget the last sentence of the introduction: "Three months after the departure of the Explorer, it completely lost contact with the ground, and there is no sign that it has been killed. I hope the three astronauts are well.
The last sentence is generally a reporter's comfort to the public, but it gives Liu Xuan hope, he did not announce his death, but there is still hope!
In all parts of the city, as long as the researchers with important positions received the news, no matter what important matters at hand, they hurriedly put them down and rushed to the institute.
