Chapter 26: The Darkest Hour
Fang Yuan glanced in the direction of Liang Xinghuo: "Everyone is already asleep, what are you going to waste this time for?" ”
"With your family, what time can be wasted?" Liang Tian's attention was also on Liang Xinghuo.
"Old man Liang, are you polite to ask an orphan such a question?"
Fang Yuan didn't need to shout at this sentence.
The question was a little calm.
But it was directly said into Liang Tian's heart.
Liang Tian was stunned for a moment.
What he said just now was really not polite.
Including his attitude towards Fang Yuan after seeing Liang Xinghuo.
This is actually a subconscious intimacy and alienation.
After getting along with Fang Yuan all the way, he will subconsciously cherish the time with Liang Xinghuo more, and pay more attention to his great-granddaughter.
The Galaxy Next Neighbor Project originally did not have a plan for Liang Tian to get out of the cabin.
As the chief designer of the human colonization program to Mars, Liang Tian has always felt that he is so guilty that he is not worthy to appear in front of the [Martian Cave].
What did he want to say to Liang Xinghuo?
Let her understand?
Forcing her to forgive?
The past that Liang Tian and Fang Yuan talked about was originally going to be said.
But he hoped to get Fang Yuan's understanding before, and then Fang Yuan would convey his remorse to Liang Xinghuo.
He didn't want to use his identity to carry out moral kidnapping of [Martian Cave].
Under the double coincidence of the loss of contact with the Galaxy Ship and the 100-year-old guardianship of the brain group, Liang Xinghuo happened to hear him talk about the past at the scene.
In this case, although Liang Tian was telling a story to Fang Yuan, the balance in his heart naturally favored Liang Xinghuo.
However, from the perspective of the miracle baby, he, an old man, is indeed a bit excessive.
Liang Tian thought about it, he should have made it clear what Fang Yuan was interested in first, and then find a chance to talk to Liang Xinghuo.
Although, Liang Tian didn't say much to Liang Xinghuo at the Mars relay station.
But I still felt a lot of details that I couldn't feel when I was in a virtual gathering.
For example, an intuitive feeling of Liang Xinghuo's ability.
This is the first time that a fashion week has been held on Mars, and there are so many unexpected situations on the scene.
If Liang Xinghuo's ability is a little worse and he can't strategize, he will definitely be anxious at this time.
Executing an event is no easier than planning.
When it comes time for many planners to carry out the fire, it is too late to put out the fire, and it is impossible to have time to sit here and "close their eyes and recuperate".
Liang Tian lived to be a hundred years old, and the number of activities and parties he participated in was too many to count.
For things like the activity process, I have to be clearer than the average person.
Moreover, no matter how well it is arranged, the general planner will definitely have to deal with it from time to time.
I really want to talk to Liang Xinghuo at this time, halfway through the conversation, if Liang Xinghuo has something to leave, then it is even worse if it is not up or down.
Liang Tian turned to look at Fang Yuan: "It's rude, the old man apologizes to you." ”
Fang Yuan hadn't thought that Liang Tian would be able to apologize so simply now.
And only because of an unintentional word.
The person in front of him was the chief designer who gave him a mountain of pressure at the beginning of his memory, and he really didn't have a shelf at all?
Now that he had decided to forgive him temporarily, Fang Yuan didn't get too entangled, so he continued to ask the questions he was interested in: "Old man Liang, when you were a graduate student at the Shanghai Eighth Academy of Aerospace, your brother Dong always had a helper, right?" ”
Liang Tian began to chat with Fang Yuan very seriously: "Why do you ask that? ”
"Isn't Ji Zhidong your mentor at the Shanghai Eighth Academy of Aerospace?"
"You know again at this time?"
"After I heard what you said, I specifically checked him, you still don't allow people who don't have a brain group to have their own interests and hobbies?"
"I don't need my permission for this. After Dong Ge retired, he came to Shanghai Aerospace Eighth Academy. But my mentor at the beginning was not him, when I entered the Eighth Academy of Astronautics, Dongge was still the ground commander of the launch mission, and he was changed when he was about to graduate......"
"The mentor can still be changed like this?"
"Brother Dong retired early...... Liang Tian let out a breath of turbidity: "That's also a sad story." ”
"How sad is that?" Fang Yuan's face was sly, "Say it to make me happy." ”
"Little Fang Yuan......" Liang Tian glanced at Fang Yuan, "You won't be happy because of something like this." ”
Fang Yuan expressed disbelief: "You are not me, how do you know if I will or not?" ”
"Because you are also an astronaut now, and the next period is the darkest moment of China's aerospace." Liang Tian explained.
"Is there one? How come there isn't a darkest paragraph in the materials I've read? ”
"It's all said to be dark, and there will definitely not be too many mentions in external sources."
"Then you can talk to me."
Fang Yuan was instantly interested.
He just likes that external information is not very easy to find.
It's the kind of thing that doesn't help even if you have a brain group.
In this way, he is on the same starting line as his peers.
The world is so big and there are so many human beings, there is only one eternal truth - not to suffer from the few, but to suffer from inequality.
This wasn't something Fang Yuan shouldn't have.
What bad thoughts can a boy who only thinks about being like everyone else?
"Xiao Fangyuan, do you know what kind of world everyone wanted to live in when I was young?"
"Mars." Fang Yuan replied without thinking, "Didn't your dream die on the way to immigrate to Mars?" ”
Liang Tian shook his head: "In the 90s of the last century, there should be only a handful of people who thought like me. ”
"Then tell me, how can I know so carefully about the events of the 60 years before I was born?"
Fang Yuan didn't like to guess.
Unless it's a future girlfriend who wants to have some fun with him.
"At that time, we wanted to live in the world of news broadcasts."
"Huh? Why? ”
Fang Yuan hadn't watched the news broadcast, and even if Liang Tian gave an answer, he still couldn't understand it.
"How to say it, I may think that the news broadcast is full of beautiful things."
"Oh, that means that in that world, there is only good and no bad, right?" Fang Yuan summed it up.
"That's not true, that's what I say." Liang Tian paused, "But you know what? Xiao Fangyuan, the news network has also broadcast major failures. Or when we are at our most confident. ”
Liang Tian may not have brought up the idea of the brain group again, and he couldn't help Fang Yuan from caring about it himself.
"Can I say I don't know?" Fang Yuan asked out loud.
"Of course, you're not from that era." Liang Tian leaned back, "Xiao Fangyuan, it's more fun to tell you a story like this, if you say you know, won't the story I want to tell you next also lose most of its meaning?" ”
"Okay, then you keep talking, I'll listen."
Fang Yuan has a little bit of plasma-wall separation.
This should no longer be his delusion, Old Man Liang is in the brain group every sentence.
If he wasn't in a hurry to listen to Liang Tian finish the darkest moment, he would definitely have a good time talking to the chief designer at this time.
Liang Tian reminisced about the past: "The day the news broadcast was broadcast live on March 22, 1992. ”
Fang Yuan answered: "Why not a month in advance?" It happened to be my birthday. ”
"It's 58 years before you were born, and it's not too much to celebrate, and when you know what happened that day, you won't want to have a birthday on that day."
I don't like to hear this.
The miracle baby directly chose to blow himself up: "Speaking of not worth celebrating, is there anything more unworthy of celebration than the birth of a miracle baby?" It has become the anniversary of the human space disaster. ”
"I'm sorry, Xiao Fangyuan, I didn't mean to forget your parents."
Fang Yuan didn't want to accept Liang Tian's repeated apologies.
People are just that weird sometimes.
It's one thing to want to, it's another thing to be forced to accept.
"You're always here to tell me I'm sorry......" Fang Yuan asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the 2.22 air crash has something to do with you?" ”
"That can't be, if I knew about this, I would have dragged your parents off that regular flight to the Earth-Moon."
"Old man Liang, can we skip this matter?"
Fang Yuan didn't know how to face it for the time being.
He still has many, many materials to find about the past.
If he could really have the experimental version of the brain group, he might be able to organize the data earlier.
If he can't, sooner or later he will be able to find and take away the truth about the accident with his parents.
"Good. Skip. ”
Liang Tian continued the story of his youth: "My parents called me on the afternoon of March 22, 1992, and they said that they had bought firecrackers to celebrate, but they were also very nervous and afraid that they would fail. ”
Fang Yuan didn't understand a little: "What failure?" ”
Liang Tian casually said an event, without Fang Yuan of the brain group, it was difficult to call up [Today in History] in an instant.
"It was a satellite launch day."
"That's right...... Was it the most important weapon of the country that was launched that day? ”
"No, it was also a commercial launch that day, and the satellite launched was called Optus Communications B1 satellite, which was made by Hughes, and it was the same manufacturer as [Asia One]."
"Could it be that this launch mission in 1992 was also a special vehicle driven by you?"
"It's not." Liang Tian denied: "I had already gone to college at Southwest Institute of Technology at that time. ”
"Then your mom and dad, why are you calling because of the launch of an international commercial satellite?" Fang Yuan was a little incomprehensible.
"Although I am not a member of the Ostar B1 launch mission, I am the special vehicle driver of the Asia 1 launch mission."
Liang Tian explained with some pride: "The launch of Asia-1 was so successful, my parents, as well as their relatives and friends, can find the closest person to spaceflight, it must be me." ”
In the early days, space launch centers were all in relatively remote locations, and many missions were kept secret.
At that time, the cosmodrome was also built in a relatively remote place.
Most of the contacts between astronauts and their families are relatively limited.
It is only in rare cases that family members can find them through the media.
"It makes sense to think about it that way. But your home is in Shanghai, and the launch of Aoxing B1 is in Xichang, so far away, what are your parents buying firecrackers for? If you want to buy it, you can buy it. ”
Fang Yuan continued to bring up what he didn't understand.
"There's live TV. At that time, there was just a short time of satellite communication, and hundreds of millions of people across the country watched it! It's not just our family that buys firecrackers, people buy them everywhere in the streets and alleys of the country. It has nothing to do with aerospace. Liang Tian answered Fang Yuan's questions.
"Although I haven't seen physical firecrackers, I can still know that this is a thing of your time to celebrate birth, old age, sickness and death, just because of the launch of an international satellite? As for it? ”
Liang Tian replied: "From our current 2070 perspective, of course not. But it was the 90s, Xiao Fangyuan. ”
"What happened in the 90s?" Fang Yuan asked.
"The Asian Games are over, our country is bidding for the Olympics for the first time, and the national pride has reached an unprecedented height, not to mention adults, many primary school students will save money for breakfast and buy Asian Games and Olympic medals to support the bid ......" [Note 1]
Fang Yuan seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand: "To hold a sports event, you have to rise to the level of elementary school students not eating?" ”
"It's a feeling." Liang Tian sighed: "You can't understand that it's normal in our era, just like I often can't understand your brain generation." ”
Fang Yuan, who had endured it for a long time, finally blew up: "Please! Brain group this thing, you've got it, me! Can! Not! Yes! ”
"It's not good, why are you so excited?"
On the issue of treating the brain group, Liang Tian and Fang Yuan have a big disagreement.
"I'm good you big head g-u-i ......"
Before he could finish the last word, Fang Yuan realized that he was not speaking right, and quickly changed his words, "I am so big, I was born for the brain group, why can't I be excited." ”
"Don't worry, Xiao Fangyuan. You'll soon have a brain group. Then ......" Liang Tian said very firmly: "You will wonder why you once had such a dream." It's not worth it. ”
"It's up to me to decide whether it's worth it or not!" Fang Yuan gave Liang Tian a loveless look, "You are good at your old business, let's hurry up and go back to March 22, 1992." ”
[Note 1]:
Elementary school students don't eat breakfast, and they also have to save money to buy BJ Asian Games and Olympic bid medals, which is seen in the blood-red circle of friends.
Wasn't it just the Hangzhou Asian Games recently, and the blood red sighed that he was still in primary school in 1990.
It just so happened that some friends asked how to check that the primary school students of the year were working hard to bid for international sports events.
The blood-red circle of friends turned an article on the official account of [National Humanities and History] "How difficult was the BJ Asian Games in 1990?" 》
Finally, thank you to Blood Red for pushing the single chapter of "Building Dreams in Space~".
