Zhang Mei's movements were a little clumsy, probably because of her injury, and she struggled to put on the spacesuit. Liao Qiu wanted to stand up and help several times, but was stopped by Zhang Mei with a stern look.

There are only two seats in the control cabin. Buckle up the helmet and complete the final fixation action on the seat, Liao Qiu watched Zhang Mei open the button on the side of her arm, and her familiar voice immediately came from the intercom.

"I've powered the entire launcher, and the launch procedure has been simplified to a minimum, so that ground control is no longer required. The process is the same as what you've seen on a computer. Think about those instructions on the profile, you can control it. Especially when the rescue capsule returns to the ground from space, you must complete the operation within the specified time to lock the fall point and open the parachute. ”

"All the programs for the rocket to lift off have been entered into the computer, and the control module will fly along a fixed trajectory in space. Rest assured! This thing has a very high level of security, and you can't go wrong. ”

"The landing site locked by the rescue pod is located in the northwestern Gobi. It's deserted, and there should be no mutated creatures near the landing site. ”

Speaking of this, Liao Qiu looked through the helmet and saw a smile on Zhang Mei's face sitting on the side: "Don't think that I haven't done anything in the past few months. I unloaded the scientific equipment from the rescue pod and loaded it with a lot of food and water. Xiao Liao, do you see the three letters "A", "B", "C" with green marks on the opposite side of you? That's the switch for the attached cargo hold. Once you've landed on the ground, open it up and you'll be able to get your backups. ”

Liao Qiu put on a spacesuit for the first time in his life and enjoyed the treatment of an astronaut that was once coveted by countless people. He was a little nervous and his mind was messed up. For Zhang Mei's advice, she could only subconsciously echo it and keep nodding her head.

"Relax."

Seeing Liao Qiu's tense facial expression, Zhang Mei smiled and said, "Just treat it as an ordinary trip." It's just that the vehicles ride are faster than cars and planes. You have to learn to adapt. Alright, now let's take off! ”

As she spoke, Zhang Mei pressed the controller at hand.

Liao Qiu felt that the entire cabin was shaking, as if he was sitting on the top of the crater, and below was the hot magma that was boiling, brewing with huge energy, ready to rise wildly from the exit directly above.

There are no countdowns, no high-profile, exciting live broadcasts. Zhang Mei made all the preparations early, the huge metal stabilizer was opened, and various protection devices on the surface of the rocket were also opened. The bottom of the rocket erupted with a furious flame of energy, sending off an overwhelming wave of air around it. Several living corpses foraging nearby were swept away, tossed high as if they had been toyed by an invisible giant hand, burning violently in the boiling heat. The skin and muscles instantly became scorched, and all the proteins in the body turned into flame fuel. All body attachments disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a slow motion in a magic movie, revealing bones, and then turning into a black soot that completely disappeared in the flames.

An energy so powerful that no words can describe propelled the rocket into the air. Liao Qiu felt that his body was very heavy, as if he had been pressed against a mountain, and even breathing became difficult. He was suddenly terrified: here, neither strength, nor speed, nor ability was completely useless. It's like an ant clinging to the surface of a stick, drifting on a rough sea. No amount of individual strength can stand up to the natural environment. Out of the honest sitting in the chair, his mind quickly flashed the content of the information on the computer, Liao Qiu couldn't do anything.

Zhang Mei's face became more and more pale. Her body trembled with the speed of the rocket. She felt her breath of life disappearing, as if she saw the door to death. That was his end and the starting point of Liao Qiu.

As the graded fuel tank continued to fall off, the rocket also left the atmosphere and entered outer space.

Looking at the huge blue planet outside through the porthole, Zhang Mei was a little surprised. She originally thought that her extremely weakened body might not be able to survive the stage of the rocket leaving the atmosphere, but she did not expect that doping was still working, giving her the opportunity to see the whole picture of the earth.

She burst into tears.

This is the dream of almost all astronauts.

I'm still very lucky. At least before he died, he fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

The rocket flight speed slowed down significantly. Looking at the rocket classification module that was gradually moving away outside the porthole, gradually disappearing in the flames and light, Liao Qiu felt that the pressure on his body was rapidly reduced, and the whole person seemed to be able to float.

He felt that it was good to have such an experience in his life, and he became interested in the mission that the launch vehicle had originally undertaken.

Liao Qiu chattered endlessly in the intercom: "Sister Zhang, what was this rocket originally used for?" Launch a probe? Or is it a scientific expedition project? I've seen rockets launched on TV, and this one seems to be bigger than the previous ones, isn't it loaded with more things? ”

Zhang Mei, dressed in a white spacesuit, sat there motionless. She had a smile on her face, and her expression was completely frozen. With her eyes closed, a strand of black hair falls down from her forehead and bends slightly on the bridge of her pale nose, forming a quiet sleeping posture peculiar to an intellectual woman.

Yes, she seems to be asleep.

A bad feeling rose from the bottom of Liao Qiu's heart.

"Sister Zhang, wake up, what's wrong with you?"

"You speak!"

"We all escaped, Sister Zhang, you must not have anything to do!"

The rocket has been put into orbit, the spacecraft has completed the final disengagement maneuver, and all the instruments in the cabin have begun to work. As soon as the green indicator light that represented the astronauts could move came on, Liao Qiu couldn't wait to untie the restraints, break free from the chair, and drift towards Zhang Mei in a weightless environment.

No matter how Liao Qiu shook, Zhang Mei didn't react.

She's dead.

She didn't become food for the mutated creatures' mouths.

She escaped from the satellite launch site with Liao Qiu.

She persevered until the end.

Liao Qiu felt that he was light, because of the lack of gravity, there were many very important and extremely precious things that were far away.

He bent over, holding a fixed position, motionless.

Liao Qiu suddenly understood why Zhang Mei used that stern attitude and tone when she was in the main control room, ordering that she had to memorize all the rocket operation procedures on the computer.

She had known that this would happen, that she wouldn't be able to last long.

Liao Qiu has always been very easy-going. Even anger or sadness would not leave a deep impression on him. In fact, these feelings have been there since a very early age, and Liao Qiu also knows that they have always existed in his mind. It's just that they haven't exploded until now...... It's very sour, and there's an indescribable heaviness.

The control module that broke away from the rocket silently carried out the fixed procedure in dead silence.

A space station with a five-star red flag pattern appeared outside the porthole, and the pipe at the front of the control module automatically opened, slowly approaching the connection port on the opposite side. With a slight vibration, the control module docked with the space station, the main control program was activated, and the commands that had been entered long before the outbreak of the virus began to operate.

Many years ago, Liao Qiu had seen on TV the news that the country had successfully launched the space station and completed the combination of different stages in space. The announcer at the time was excited, and the comments were mixed with a lot of technical words. It is said that very few countries have mastered this technology and have the ability to manufacture and launch space.

Holding Zhang Mei, who had a serene expression, Liao Qiu felt an indescribable pain in his heart.

He floated in the air, his mind flashing back to the short time he spent with Zhang Mei in the main control room, constantly sighing and blaming himself.

If I had rushed out with her at that time, I might have had a chance to revive her. The leader is very powerful, and he is still a doctor, and Sister Zhang's injury should be nothing to him.

Unfortunately, in this world, there are some things that cannot be bought. For example: regret medicine or someone's life.

Compared to the huge space station, the main control module of the rocket that has just completed docking is like a small car parked at the foot of a skyscraper. Two giant robotic arms stretched out from above the space station, as if they were holding it firmly in place. After the completion of this work, more than a dozen robotic arms will be extended in the middle of the space station. They are not as large as the robotic arm that stretched out to be fixed, but they are more western-ready and flexible. This is a special machine that is made up of a large number of joint members. It can be freely retracted, folded, and work within a radius of up to several hundred meters.

If you look at it from the side, the space station looks like a giant metal octopus that stretched out countless tentacles and captured the "food" of the rocket's main control module. As the computer program runs, the closed compartments on the outside of the main control cabin are opened, and the slender robotic arm takes out the pre-prepared parts one by one from them and installs them on the prefabricated street entrances inside or outside the space.

It's like a self-aware "Lego" brick, which gradually perfects various design functions through the accumulation of continuous additions.

Liao Qiu, who was immersed in pain, did not notice what was happening. It wasn't until the space station's autonomous docking and combined procedures were completed, and a melodious and pleasant prompt sound came from the electronic intercom, that Liao Qiu suddenly realized that he was not on Earth, but in space.

A tear fell from Liao Qiu's face, forming a small drop of water in mid-air.

He sighed and gently stroked the helmet on Zhang Mei's spacesuit with his hand, as if doing so could directly touch the other person's face.

From the time he was conscious, "love" was a luxury for Liao Qiu. Whatever it is given from anyone, he will cherish it very much. Although the time spent with Zhang Mei was very short, the love from her was so obvious that Liao Qiu would always remember it. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
