018 Sun-Lagrange 2
After that, until he arrived at Lagrange point 2, Wang Ping'an was a celebrity on the ship.
When he walked on the road and met people he didn't know, people would come up to him and say, "Remember to say hello to my eighty grandchildren." ”
With the thickness of Wang Ping'an's face, he naturally nodded again and again: "It must be, if your eighty generations are a granddaughter, I will definitely help strengthen your family's genes, this is a pure gene eight hundred years ago, maybe this gene was regarded as a national treasure at that time, I will definitely let your family enjoy it!" ”
A few days after Qin Qiong woke up, the little African boy rescued by Wang Ping'an woke up, but he seemed to have been severely traumatized and couldn't speak at all.
And the sister who woke up first couldn't tell the details of the smuggling, after all, she was just a child, although Chinese was good, but their father was negotiating with an English-speaking smuggler, and she couldn't understand it at all.
The only information my sister could provide was that there were nearly 100 stowaways from Africa on board the spaceship at the time.
According to a preliminary analysis of the recovered wreckage by the Brave Engineering Department, the shipwreck may have dismantled the backup computer system and supporting energy allocation system to install life support equipment.
After all, the Brave is just a cargo ship, and it happens to be a part-time transportation of astronauts returning from vacation, and the detailed investigation will have to be handed over to the more professional space gendarmes after arriving at L2.
The rest of the voyage went awry, and finally arrived at the Space Force's space fortress in L2 after four days of delay.

Before entering the port procedure, Wang Ping'an and Angli's recovery training team assembled for the last time.
Because Qin Qiong was recuperating in the medical room, the deputy captain replaced him and talked to everyone.
Major Li looked around the briefing room and said, "I don't like to talk nonsense, this voyage is not peaceful, but in the final analysis, it is still the norm in space, and each of you has encountered it to a greater or lesser extent. After that, I will return to my post and make use of this experience. Disband. ”
"Stand up."
Everyone stood together and saluted the Major.
The major also returned the salute solemnly.
At this time, the porthole covers on the side of the briefing room opened one by one, revealing a deep starry sky.
Angri exclaimed, "Wow......"
Wang Ping'an: "You haven't been to L2 before, have you?" ”
"Most of our training is done in L1, after all, the environment there is basically similar to here."
L is the abbreviation of Lagrange point, the so-called Lagrange point is the meaning of gravitational equilibrium point, Sun-Earth L2 means the gravitational equilibrium point of the sun and the earth, and the moon-earth naturally refers to the equilibrium point of the earth and the moon.
That place used to be a strategic point, after all, the moon was the main source of helium-3 at that time, which was the main fusion fuel for mankind at that time.
But now, with the iteration of technology, the importance of helium-3 has greatly decreased.
After losing its strategic significance, it has become the main business district of the Earth-Moon system, a space residence and resort area established by a large number of private capital, and most of the Space Force's flight academies abroad in China have placed space practical courses here.
The development of Earth-Moon L1 is basically dominated by economic laws. But Sun-Earth L2 is completely different, it could have been said to have no economic value, but after several five-year plans, as the forefront of the Space Management Committee's expansion to Mars, a complete industrial chain has been built here.
Then there will be private capital gathering to the sun and the earth L2.
Because of this, Angri, who had only seen the scene of Earth-Moon L1, was immediately shocked when she saw the scene outside the porthole.
A newly captured asteroid is changing orbit, and the air jets from the engine mounted on the back side of the planet reflect the lights of the spaceport.
The Brave passed by the asteroid in orbit, and several Space Force cruisers escorted the asteroid, easily past the cumbersome Brave.
A cruiser signals lights the Brave.
Wang Ping'an immediately read it out: "Brave rescue operation, salute to you." ”
Angli raised her eyebrows: "Praise you." ”
"No, it's all of us who are complimenting." Wang Ping'an said, "I just put a little effort into it." ”
The buddy next to him immediately gave Wang Ping'an a hammer: "It's disgusting that you are so modest." ”
Angli was about to speak, when she was suddenly attracted by a new sight.
Brave passed by a large swarm of asteroids that had already entered orbit, and the planet's mining sites were brightly lit and small miners danced like busy worker bees.
In order to provide minerals for the Sun-Earth L2 factory, the Space Force has a special asteroid capture unit, and all asteroids that may intersect with the Earth's orbit have basically been captured Sun-Earth L2.
With the refinement of the Martian industry and the extinction of the asteroid, the Production Planning Committee estimates that the supply of solar and terrestrial L2 minerals will be problematic in about twenty years.
But it's still a hot spot for now.
Angli looked at this scene and exclaimed sincerely: "This ...... How vibrant. Lunar-Earth L1 has never seen anything like this. ”
Wang Ping'an smiled: "After all, this is the forefront of the five-year plan, and you will gradually get used to it." ”
"You sound proud?" Angli said with some surprise.
"Of course."
At this time, the Brave entered the inbound route.
At the same time, a cargo ship was leaving the port, and the crash lights outlining the ship flashed rhythmically.
Suddenly, the cargo ship began to sound a light signal: "Brave rescue, salute to you." ”
Angli: "Why do you all use lights to send signals?" ”
"You don't need to account for the communication frequency, after all, this is the sun and the earth L2, and all the frequencies are very busy. The Brave's reply is supposed to be a light signal as well, but we can't see it. ”
Angli: "You actually explained it seriously, I thought you would say that this is romantic or something." ”
"You actually know that I think it's romantic, and it seems that you know me better and better."
That's when the Brave began to brake. Originally, the relative speed of the spacecraft and the space station had been reduced to almost the speed of a human walking, so with only one light jet, the spacecraft "stopped".
The voice of Colonel Gu Changhe came from the radio inside the ship: "I am Captain Gu Changhe, although there have been some episodes in this voyage mission, it has still been successfully completed." Please leave the ship in an orderly manner. Welcome back to humanity's last frontier. ”

The brigade instructor looked at the computer screen in front of him.
At the top of the screen is a document recommending Wang Ping'an to the Centauri Project.
After a long period of reflection, the instructor wrote in the personal evaluation section at the end of the report: "Although Lieutenant Wang Ping'an has many flaws in his personality, as a professional master of psychology, I think that he is unusually firm in his ideal of opening up the space for human activities, and he has an incomparable sincerity.
"I think his addition will do more harm than good to the Centauri project, and the ideal light in him may become a beacon to illuminate the long voyage."
When you're done, the instructor presses send.
It didn't take a few seconds for the reply to come.
"Not adopted."
The instructor sighed and muttered, "I can't help you, I can only see if the supercomputer's advice is reliable." ”
