Dr. Aaron saw Xing Tian come back to life through the real-time footage transmitted by the fighter plane, and then collapsed in the command seat, and a smile appeared on his face.

He picked up the microphone of the communicator and said to Ares: Good boy, do a good job, hurry back to your fighter, let Xingtian's fighter plane get out of it, and you also hurry up and let me get into another fighter, don't let my old man be scared anymore.

Ares smiled and said: Received, execute immediately. Ares quickly returned to the cockpit of the damaged fighter and fastened his seat belt, and the fighter plane that received Xingtian immediately accelerated away from him, while another fighter began to change its flight posture and approach Ares.

Ares' entry into the receiver went very smoothly. When the two receivers completed their mission and joined the space shuttle, Dr. Aron gave the order to return home.

Xingtian rested for a while before relieving himself, but he was still a little weak to speak, and after a brief briefing with Dr. Aaron on the communicator, he felt very sleepy, and he fell back into a deep sleep.

When he fell asleep, he still had half of the energy liquid in his mouth. Ares also began to snore after ingesting a portion of the energy liquid.

Dr. Aron saw this and turned off the live video feed. He stretched out his hand and habitually wanted to grab the cup beside him, only to remember that it was not in Sky City, smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up a tea bag next to him, tore open the seal and sucked the tea.

After a 10-hour flight, they returned to Athena City, entered Space City at the largest airport No. 1, and woke up Xingtian and Ares when they entered the airport.

During the 10 minutes of waiting for the airport to adjust the air pressure, Xingtian and Ares kept chatting, they talked about this mission, their distress, and each other's troubles.

When the air pressure at the airport was adjusted, they were helped out of the cockpit by the accompanying doctors and nurses as soon as possible.

They sat on two chairs prepared in advance and watched the doctors and nurses take off their combat uniforms, and as soon as they took off their combat uniforms, they were packed into a special sealed box by the doctors and sealed to be sent to the combat uniform research and development team for testing and evaluation.

In particular, the research value of Xingtian's combat uniform is very great. It is not an exaggeration to say that Xingtian is testing this combat uniform with his life.

When they took off their combat uniforms, the doctor immediately checked the physical condition of the two men with a body detector, and after confirming that there was no problem with their bodies except for weakness caused by hunger, the rescue operation was officially declared over.

When the internal gate of the airport opened, they saw a beautiful figure rushing towards them. Needless to say, it must have been Alice.

Xingtian watched Alice run towards them, and said to Ares, "Thank you, my brother." Ares only giggled at Xingtian and did not answer.

But when he saw Xingtian's next move, his jaw immediately dropped. Xingtian approached Ares and kicked him down, and after kicking Ares, Xingtian turned around and ran, and opened his arms.

Alice also ran in front of Xingtian at this time, and directly hugged Xingtian in her arms. Seeing this, Ares simply forgot to stand up.

Is this still the Xingtian I know? When did he take the initiative. Thinking of this, Ares stood up and ran to Xingtian and Alice, and when he ran to the two of them, Xingtian stretched out a hand and grabbed Ares and hugged him.

The three of them hugged each other like this, as if time had returned to the moment when they survived the Global Environmental Monitoring Center, and they hugged each other like this.

Dr. Aron looked at the three men back in the conning tower, and the scene pulled him back to those dark days, but he quickly recovered.

He waited until all the people involved in the rescue, as well as Xingtian and Alice, came to the control tower. Standing on the command platform and saying to everyone: The rescue mission is officially over, and the completion of the rescue mission is inseparable from everyone's efforts.

At the same time, I announced that each of the members of the rescue team would have 2 days off. After the holidays, they will return to their respective posts to continue their work.

Xingtian and Ares, you have a week off, but you will need to report to the medical team for a physical examination every day for the first 3 days of the week.

A week later, you went straight to my lab and reported. Do you understand? Understood, everyone replied in unison.

Then disband, the vacation timer begins now. It's fitting to describe their current state in a hurry.

Alice walked towards the living quarters with her arms around Xingtian and Ares. Their laughter and laughter spread through every hallway they walked.

After they all left the conning tower, Dr. Aron also went to Commander Grove's office, and Grove led Dr. Aron into a small conference room that was already filled with all the commander-level members of Athena.

Grove gestured to the empty chair next to him and motioned for Dr. Asa to sit down, and then he sat down in his place and said with a serious face: "The relevant personnel have already arrived, so we will now have a meeting about this satellite recovery and rescue mission."

Grove motioned for the secretary to begin the narrative, and the secretary gave a detailed account of the two tasks. After her debriefing, Grove said: "Let everyone know the details of the mission in order to discuss the rewards of the mission personnel, and everyone to see what rewards they deserve.

After speaking, I looked at everyone, and everyone expressed their opinions, which were divided into two opinions.

One side believes that there should be no big rewards, but that there should be strong publicity to encourage everyone to make their own contributions to human space migration.

One side believes that it should not only be rewarded, but also vigorously promoted. After listening to everyone's speeches, Grove coughed lightly and said: "Everyone agrees to publicize their deeds so vigorously, and this article is passed."

There is a debate about whether to reward everyone, I personally think that it should be rewarded, but it should not be excessive, and the rewards for the participants of the two missions this time should also be differentiated.

Xingtian and Ares, who performed satellite recovery, have been performing well for everyone to see, and I feel like they can be awarded an elite medal for their reward.

For the members of the rescue team, Dr. Aaron should be awarded the Medal of Merit, and the other members should be awarded the corresponding medal according to the difficulty of the task, but not higher than the Medal of Management.

The above is my personal opinion, let's discuss it. The people who did it again all heard what Grove meant, and the rewards for Xingtian, Ares, and Dr. Aron had already been decided, and they didn't need to discuss it, so everyone began to discuss the rewards for the rest of them.

After a lot of verbal battles, it was decided that Xingtian, Ares, and Dr. Aron would receive the Elite Medal, the rescue team space shuttle pilot and two fighter pilots would receive the Medal of Valor, and the others would receive a third-class meritorious service.

Grove saw that everyone was done discussing and was about to announce the official reward order. Dr. Aron, who had been silent, suddenly said: Can I say a few words?

As he spoke, he looked at Grove. Seeing Grove nodding, he continued: "I think the reward you have set is very reasonable, but I will not participate in this reward.

Leave the glorious moment of being a hero to those young people, I'm old, how unworthy it is to stand among them, Commander Grove is so decided, right?

Originally, I was not a member of the military system, so I would not participate in this reward. Grove saw that Dr. Aaron didn't speak immediately, so he pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that no one is speaking. He said aloud: Then it is decided, except for Dr. Aron, the reward will be carried out according to the advice just now.

The commendation ceremony was officially held on the second day after Xingtian and Ares' vacation, when all the commanders were on the scene, and the rest of the personnel watched through the live broadcast, and at the same time the lunar base was broadcast live.

Meeting. Everyone left the conference room in an orderly manner. Grove and Dr. Aron continued to talk before leaving at the end.
