In orbit around Mars, the Starship spacecraft is making its 353rd synchronous orbital flight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Soon, the Starship spacecraft will accelerate away from Mars and fly into orbit around the Sun.

"Guys, are you ready?" Before leaving, the starship spaceship Jenson confirmed to everyone again.

"That's it!" "We're ready."

"Then let's get ready to go."

"Goodbye, Mars!!"

"Go home! On the earth!! ”

"Let's go!!"

The speed of the Starship spacecraft began to increase rapidly, and soon it departed from its orbit and bid farewell to the beautiful crimson planet.

On the return trip, because there was no Martian living module and a large number of other instruments and equipment, the load mass of the Starship spacecraft was much less.

This gives everyone the illusion that the acceleration process of the Starship spacecraft out of the orbit of Mars has become much easier.

After consultation with the Earth Command Center, the Starship spacecraft's return journey to Earth will be accelerated by a nuclear pulse propulsion system, and then decelerated by a conventional jet propulsion system when it is about to reach Earth.

In this way, the time for the Starship spacecraft to return to Earth will be saved by nearly a week, which means that in another month or so, the astronauts will be home.

The Starship spacecraft's nuclear pulse propulsion system carries a total of 10 subdivided nuclear fuel energy matrices, excluding the previous 4, there are still 6 left, and the remaining amount of chemical fuel is 60% (the year of orbiting Mars basically does not consume fuel), which is more than enough for the return trip.

After six consecutive nuclear pulse propulsion system accelerations, the Starship spacecraft finally entered a long period of stable flight again.

Although Nikolaev has been trying to control the level of acceleration of the nuclear pulse propulsion system, the feeling of the rapid acceleration of nuclear power is still not so friendly. Fortunately, everyone is familiar with riding a roller coaster for a long time, so it doesn't feel like eating dirt like when you first tried nuclear acceleration.

Especially for the few people who have experienced the murder of the Martian super artificial gravity system, this acceleration is simply weak.

During the long and stable flight, everyone was no longer under the same task pressure as when they set off, so the whole return trip seemed much more relaxed. It's like a team coming back from a race and winning.

Especially in the final stage of the return trip, as the Starship spacecraft got closer and closer to Earth, everyone's hearts gradually became excited and antique.

However, Chen Xi and Suzuki are excepted. Because, returning to Earth means that they will face the approval and punishment of the alliance.

In the living quarters of the starship spaceship, Yuan Haochen was gazing at the boundless space through the porthole of the spaceship.

Yes, the red planet has faded away, and the birthplace of human civilization, the beautiful blue planet, has been very clearly presented in front of you.

"After arriving on Earth, I hope to be able to go home and rest...... Yuan Haochen looked at the beautiful Earth attentively, and was already planning the next trip in his heart. After returning to the base and taking care of the relevant matters, he wanted to go back to China, and he hadn't spoken to his parents for a long, long time.

The cosmic space outside the porthole is still so vast, magnificent, lonely, empty and silent......

In the eternal universe, how can we understand the various emotions such as joys, sorrows, and sorrows of small intelligent lives, and there is always silence outside the porthole.

"Hao Chen."

A cold and slightly melancholy female voice sounded in Yuan Haochen's ears.

"Chen Xi."

Although Suzuki and Chen Xi made mistakes, it is the alliance's business to deal with them. Therefore, when it came to the final stage of return, the Mars scientific exploration team did not particularly restrict them.

Since it is impossible to keep custody on a spaceship, what can be done is to keep an eye on them and restrict their access to some important areas of the starship spaceship.

"Can I talk to you for a moment?" Chen Xi was a little nervous, and his words were no longer as cold and unruly as before.

"The earth is so beautiful, you never get tired of seeing it!" Yuan Haochen nodded, and then looked at the beautiful blue planet outside the window again.

"I'm sorry......" Thinking about it, Chen Xi must have no intention of appreciating the beauty of the earth. At this moment, maybe all she has in her head is about being judged after returning to Earth.

Yuan Haochen was still staring at the deep universe outside the porthole, his pupils shrunk, and Chen Xi's "I'm sorry" did not cause some ripples in his heart.

After 2000 years of loneliness, Yuan Chen's mentality has long been different from the past, and he doesn't care about Chen Xi's mistakes, nor does he care.

In his opinion, everyone should be held accountable for their actions and suffer punishment for the mistakes they have made.

"I am a member of the family, and I can't help myself ...... many things," Chen Xi saw that Yuan Haochen did not speak, so he continued to explain, "At that time, I went to Xinjiang with you with impure motives. This time we came to Mars together, and I did have a bad heart. When you were wronged on Mars, I was also indifferent. But I didn't mean to threaten people's lives......"

Yuan Haochen was still immersed in the cosmic space outside the window, still silent, not saying a word.

"I'm not saying this to excuse anything, but just to show what I think in my heart." Chen Xi was also silent for a while, and then continued, "I am ready to accept the trial of the alliance, no matter what the punishment is, I will accept it safely." ”

"Hmm~" Yuan Haochen nodded and didn't say anything.

"I definitely can't stay in the IEA anymore, and when the trial and punishment are over, I want to start a new life." Chen Xi adjusted his mood, he no longer had the nervousness when he first came, and his words revealed a hint of indifferent charm.

"But you're different, I think you're a real, pure scientist, your vision is in the vast and deep universe, and I'm only thinking about the immediate utilitarianism and future."

"It may be a bit ridiculous for me to say this, but I hope you will continue to work hard, and I am confident that your actions will have a profound impact on the civilization of the earth."

After saying this, Chen Xi also fell silent, and looked at the beautiful blue planet outside the window with a relieved face.

Through the corner of her eye, Yuan Haochen could sense that Chen Xi, who was staring at the earth at this moment, was full of expectation in her eyes, maybe she had begun to imagine a new life in the future.

"What do you plan to do in the future, do you want to continue to do scientific research?" Yuan Haochen sighed and asked lightly.

"No, I'm just a little girl, and I want to do something that interests me. You might go to study photography and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the world. Unfortunately, I will only be able to photograph the beauty of the earth in the future, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to see the magnificent scenery in the universe again......"

"Don't you have any regrets, don't you think that the earth is the most beautiful place in the universe?"

"Well, I really want to go home now, I want to go back to my family right away." Chen Xi replied faintly, she was a little woman after all, and her voice trembled slightly by thinking about the pressure she was about to bear.
