Chapter 6: The Spark Burns
On Earth, Mars is the brightest red star in the night sky.
The amount of time that humans have become fanatical about Mars is very limited.
This touch of red leads the madness of modern people and carries the blood light of ancient people.
Before the twentieth century, in such a long human civilization, Mars was an extremely rare [public enemy of mankind].
There are so many stars in the sky, and the same star often has different interpretations in different cultures.
Mars is the only one, before the advent of the space age, which has been unanimously interpreted by all mankind, all cultures, and all languages—unknown.
Ancient Chinese astronomers called Mars the Luminous Confusion - the glowing fire, which is separated from the confusion.
Sima Qian said in the "Historical Records": "Yingfu is chaotic, thieves, diseases, mourning, hunger, and soldiers. If you live in it, you will suffer in March, you will be defeated in May, you will be half dead in July, and you will be half dead in September. Because of the entry and exit, the country is extinct. ”
To put it simply, it means being sick, disabled, dead, fighting, and destroying a country...... Everything bad has to do with the spark.
"Guarding the heart" has also become the most ferocious astrological sign in Chinese culture.
In other cultures, this is much the case.
The English name of Mars is MARS, which comes from Mars, the Roman god of war and violence.
In Greek mythology, it corresponds to Ares, the god of war.
In Hippo's "The Iliad", Ares is a fierce god who kills people without blinking, and is as cruel as he is.
All in all, there is no second star in the world like Mars, which has been the "common enemy of all mankind" since ancient times.
Even such a star can turn over and sing as a serf, but it is just a miracle baby who took the wrong script at birth, so what is there to give up easily?
Fang Yuan constantly cheered himself up in his heart.
At this moment, Mars is close at hand.
The original big head who is crazy about "chasing stars", and his mood is also so good that he flies.
He's been given permission to start manually controlling the starship.
In this situation, Fang Yuan couldn't help but sing a peerless song he wrote:
[Ah~ah~Ah, Mars, you are the star of my dreams. 】
[Ah~Ah~Ah, Mars, I'm flying towards you at the moment. 】
This song can be said to be quite good, but if you can hum it, you will become excellent with it......
Not to mention anything else, if time is set back two hundred years, in that era of [Luminous Fire, Separation and Chaos], it is not possible to directly create a new genre of singing the praises of Mars?
If you go back further, the status of Tang poetry, Song Ci, and Yuan Qu in the history of literature will not all have to be leaned to the side......
This is Fang Yuan's state of mind at the moment—his heart is flying, like madness.
Hara Datou has never really come close to his dreams.
Even when the moon could still be implanted in the brain group, he couldn't leave the earth one step.
In the same starship, the magic sound that is not in the tone at all surrounds the beam, and directly gives the chief designer Liang Tian a stereo surround.
In this way, he was not even stopped by a voice.
Perhaps, it is because the eardrums of the elderly are more receptive.
Perhaps, it is because I am far away from my homeland every day, and no matter how loud the noise is, it has become a local sound.
On the way to Mars, this old man who is about to be 100 years old has been waiting so quietly.
Neither condescending nor amiable.
If there is no real need, there will basically be no communication with Fang Yuan.
Even if there is a need, it is necessary to summon all kinds of robots in the starship first.
Fang Yuan was happy to be quiet.
He didn't really want to accompany an old man.
I don't really respect the chief designer of this Martian immigration plan.
As for a galactic journey with no return, it depends on whose hands the final control is.
When he first set off, because he was afraid that his mind would be discovered, the starship was directly recalled by the Earth Control Center, and Fang Yuan would shush the old man from time to time.
After confirming that the distance that might be recalled was passed, Fang Yuan slowly began to let himself go.
How happy how to come.
As an orphan, the original boss is actually very willing to talk to the elderly.
Except for people like Old Man Liang!
"Xiao Fangyuan."
Before he could finish singing, Fang Yuan heard Liang Tian calling him.
He quickly got up and greeted him: "Eh, here, what's the matter with you?" ”
It's one thing to think in your heart, but you still have to have the attitude you should have.
At this time, although he already has the authority to manually control it, the ground command center also has it.
Old man Liang has a laboratory version of the brain group, as long as he wants to, there are 10,000 ways to transmit the news back to the Earth Control Center.
Fang Yuan didn't want to dream of it again.
As long as your feet haven't set foot on the dream star, you can't take it lightly.
"You put this spacesuit on, and when you get to the Mars relay station, you can stay there."
As he spoke, Liang Tian handed Fang Yuan a set of hidden bionic spacesuits with hovering flight functions.
is the same as the one worn by Liang Xinghuo, representing the most cutting-edge technology of the earth.
As a person accompanying the traveler, Fang Yuan was not qualified to have such a spacesuit.
Liang Tian obviously gave his outdoor spacesuit to Fang Yuan.
This handover directly stunned Fang Yuan.
This old man, who is admired by the world, is not a good person at all in Fang Yuan's place.
"Where did you leave me staying?" Fang Yuan confirmed loudly.
"Mars."
Hearing this answer, Fang Yuan's heartbeat suddenly began to soar.
He is obviously well hidden, and along the way, he has moved his hands and feet in subtle places that are impossible to be discovered.
Liang Tian came out like this at this time, did he find a clue and start to probe?
Fang Yuancai was not so easily fooled.
"Old Liang, what are you kidding, the project I participated in is a trip to the galaxy without return, to go beyond the solar system, to find the other side of human beings, what am I staying on Mars?"
"Go outside the solar system and leave the matter of finding the other side of mankind to me, an old man."
Liang Tian is always in his own rhythm, and it is unlikely that he will be led astray by a twenty-year-old young man.
Fang Yuan didn't have the character to give up so easily, and continued to work hard to open the topic: "Old Liang, are you uncomfortable?" Do you want me to have a medical robot check it out for you? ”
"I'm fine." Liang Tian waved his hand and said straightforwardly: "It's you, from the very beginning, to participate in this project, isn't it just to stay on Mars and implant your brain group?" ”
"I ......"
Fang Yuan wanted to refute, but he was stuck for a long time, and he couldn't say a word again.
What do you mean by the old man's words?
This is obviously a word for words, right?
So, all the way around, Liang Tian has been quietly watching his performance?
"Don't be nervous, the Galactic Ship will briefly lose contact with Earth's control center before entering the Martian relay station. Now, we are old and young, and whatever we say, it will be a secret between the two of us. ”
Fang Yuan looked at Liang Tian in disbelief, feeling that Old Man Liang still wanted to take his confession.
Before leaving, he had memorized an entire manual and precautions for the operation of the Galactic Ship, and there was no mention of the possibility of losing contact for a short time.
Fang Yuan was very sure that his memory could not be wrong.
Even if he gets Liang Tian's special approval, he still needs to pass the final procedure exam before he can go ashore.
For other applicants, this is nothing more than going to the base group encyclopedia to take a look at the content that can be copied at hand.
Fang Yuan was tired to death because of this, and he didn't know how many brain cells.
Tired and tired, as long as you have a demerit, you will not be wrong.
Fang Yuan had a very clear understanding of himself, otherwise he would not have gotten two master's degrees at the age of eighteen.
"I'm just a little assistant who takes care of your daily life, what secrets can there be between me and you?" Fang Yuan continued to die, and the duck's mouth was hard.
"Along the way, have I ever been tired of Fang Yuan's little friend?"
Little friends? Driver?
Isn't that still a word?
"It's not!" Fang Yuan hurriedly tried to find a way to make up for it, "I know that I'm a little less diligent along the way, isn't this also why you didn't call me?" If you call me for something, I'll be there right away. ”
"Won't I just call you, Xiao Fangyuan."
"I've wanted to be an astronaut since I was a kid, but I never wanted to be a firefighter." Fang Yuan was still pretending that he didn't understand.
Liang Tian didn't continue to detour with Fang Yuan, and asked directly: "Do you know why I chose you to join this journey to the galaxy with no return?" ”
"Because I don't like it?"
What Fang Yuan really wanted to say was, [Because Fang Xinyang and Dai Bingyan used to be your most proud protégés, so much so that they ......]
Liang Tian suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Silly boy, your name is still chosen by me, how can I look at you unpleasantly?" ”
"You took my name?" Fang Yuan was so shocked that he even forgot his honorific title.
"Yes, I originally gave you a name, called Fang Liaoyuan, but later your mother thought the name was too difficult to write, and said that her own name had many strokes, and it was the most annoying to write it over and over again when I was a child. In the end, I discussed removing the middle word and naming you Fang Yuan. ”
The moment Fang Yuan was born, his parents died in such a tragic accident, it was impossible for him to know that there were such small details.
Before Fang Yuan could recover from his tragic memories, he heard Liang Tian say something more energetic: "There is Liang Xinghuo on Mars, and Fang Liaoyuan on the Moon, what the two of you have are the first and second laboratory version of the brain group of the human race, Spark Liaoyuan, Fang is the pillar." ”
?
Question mark with a capital letter!
Fang Yuan wondered if he was having auditory hallucinations?
[Sparks in the plain, Fang is the pillar], what the hell?
"I have no regrets in my life, and I have never owed anyone anything, except Liang Xinghuo, I will help you stay on Mars, you help me say sorry to her, during this time on Mars, you two have to help each other."
??
Two capital question marks.
What and what is this?
Is this what he can hear?
Liang Tian didn't care whether Fang Yuan had already digested the information just now, and continued to talk to himself:
"I shouldn't have devised an acceptance criterion like that."
"Everybody says I'm selfless."
"But how could I have thought that the last person left on Mars would be my own great-granddaughter."
"When I was 20 years old, someone asked me about my dreams, and I said, die on the way to immigrate to Mars."
"When I was 90 years old, people asked me about my dreams, and I said, I want to do a project that I designed myself."
"And then there's the Galactic Project that you're now involved in."
"It's good that my two dreams are one."
The Galaxy Project is the one that posted the recruitment notice before [Galaxy Journey with No Return].
The purpose of the Galactic Project is to find advanced civilizations beyond the solar system.
In this plan, Liang Tian will arrive at the Mars relay station and complete the replenishment here.
But this energy replenishment link is actually to replenish the energy of the starship, and also to replenish the Martian energy block for the people accompanying the travel, which has nothing to do with Chief Designer Liang Tian.
On his 100th birthday, Liang Tianhui carried out the most important part of the Galaxy Project.
He will take a look at Mars from afar and enter an extremely frozen chamber.
In less than a second, the capsule lowered Liang Tian's body temperature to absolute zero ——-273.15° - to achieve death in the human sense.
It is equivalent to a relatively new type of euthanasia.
The only difference is that this method of death, if you are lucky enough to encounter a more advanced civilization outside the solar system and successfully thaw it, you will still have the possibility of resurrection.
Even when you wake up, you're still old.
But at least you can take a look at the more advanced alien civilizations.
This was the last plan designed by Liang Tian himself, and this plan lasted until the first unknown number of years after his death.
Perhaps, it will disappear forever in a corner of the universe
Perhaps, we will encounter civilizations that humans dare not imagine.
Or perhaps, the seed bank carried by the Galactic Ship will take root and sprout somewhere in the galaxy, waiting for a generation that will be far behind.
……
Liang Tian said a lot to himself, and the huge brain capacity of the original big head was almost penetrated.
He was really close to being convinced,
Just a little bit.
If he hadn't witnessed Chief Designer Liang Tian's ruthlessness and heard the ruthless words he said, Fang Yuan might have really believed it and regretted what he was about to do.
At that time, Fang Yuan was about to turn three years old, and Fang Yuan was earlier than ordinary people.
He clearly told the nursery staff that he wanted to have a brain set with other children, and that he wanted to go to the moon to implant his own brain group.
The nursery staff reported his wishes one by one.
The director of the orphanage said that only a person of the level of Chief Designer Liang Tian could help realize such a wish.
The little Fang Yuan didn't know what the chief designer was, but he remembered the name Liang Tian.
When someone asked him what his wish was, he said that he wanted to see Chief Designer Liang Tian.
People always have to think about it, and who knows if it will be realized the next day?
Within a few days, Fang Yuan's wish was fulfilled on the Third Day of Mourning for the Human Space Disaster.
It was the highest level of condolence that the miracle baby had ever seen.
He hugged the thigh of the chief designer, so he could talk about it, be coquettish and cute, splash and roll, and do his best.
The nursery worker said that this matter must be stable.
Fang Yuan was so satisfied and followed the nursery staff back.
Before he had walked a few steps, he heard an angry voice coming from the condolence group:
"Don't Fang Xinyang and Dai Bingyan in front of me, as long as I am there for a day, none of you will want to open the back door for this little doll and go to the moon to implant the brain group in the laboratory."
Fang Yuan could never misremember this voice.
He burst into tears.
It was a small Fang Yuan, and for the first time, his dream was greatly shattered.
The nursery worker comforted that the chief designer must have an opinion on the brain group in the laboratory, not because the other party originally wanted the brain group.
The precocious orphan is naturally sensible.
He believes in the words of the nursery, in the mentors of his parents, and in the chief designer of the human colonization to Mars.
However, on the fourth day of mourning for the space disaster, the whole world was broadcasting live that Liang Tian implanted the fifth laboratory version of the human brain group on the moon.
It's really gratifying, the laboratory version of the brain group, for the first time, the whole sequence of genes in the elderly has been successfully matched.
That day was February 22, 2054, Fang Yuan's fourth birthday.
Everyone was celebrating, but there was no condolence group, and no one wished him a happy birthday.
The little Fang Yuan will not have great expectations.
If anyone wants to come to condole, he doesn't want to see him.
