When Lin Chen rushed to the military hospital, the doctor had given up all rescue measures. A large group of people, including astronauts, command centers, doctors, and government officials, stood in the corridor outside the ward. Everyone looked solemn. Occasionally, they heard
Whispers.
The beautiful young lady was blocked from the hospital. Lin Chen rushed into the ward and saw his father covered with a white sheet on the bed. His knees fell to the floor and he cried softly.
His father, a senior cultivator and senior card maker, is an elite among the elite of the universe pioneers. In Lin Chen's heart, his father Lin Sheng is so powerful. He has never thought about this scenario.
No one came to disturb Lin Chen. The ward was eerily quiet, and even the sound of tears dripping on the ground could be heard clearly.
My father was a genius in cultivation, but for Lin Chen, he wasted countless hours learning trivial card making, and eventually became a senior card maker.
"Dad, if you hadn't done it for Chen'er, your cultivation level would have been higher, would it, wouldn't it, wouldn't it..."
Lin Chen burst into tears. Lin Chen, who had grown up under the wings of his father, felt that the whole world had suddenly become dark at this moment. Even the huge storm last night, Lin Chen was not so scared.
Lin Chen had been kneeling and crying for an unknown amount of time. His whole body was already numb. At this moment, Lin Chen suddenly raised his head and looked at his father's hospital bed.
He didn't see it, but he felt his father move, clearly.
"dad."
Lin Chen stood up with difficulty and walked towards the hospital bed in confusion. Just when Lin Chen was still one step away from the hospital bed, his father's body suddenly bounced up on the bed.
"Son of a bitch."
"Bang."
His father screamed and fell down again. Lin Chen was stunned for three seconds before he could react and shouted: "Come on, doctor, come on, doctor, my dad is alive, please come on."
Not only doctors were outside, but also his father, military commanders, and government officials came in. The doctors hurriedly used various advanced instruments to test Lin Sheng's physical signs.
Finally, the attending doctor stood up helplessly.
"How is it?" a government official asked urgently.
The attending doctor shook his head, and the government official's face suddenly fell. He glared at Lin Chen, and his face became irritable again.
Lin Chen also saw his father who was motionless, without any signs of life. This military hospital was the strongest hospital in the federation, and the doctors would not lie to him. Lin Chen knew that his father had really passed away this time.
"Dad, did you come back to your glory days just to call your son a bastard?"
Lin Chen knew that his cultivation was not high and it was a disgrace to Lin Sheng's reputation. He swore in his heart that he would become as great a "space pioneer" as his father.
Lin Chen turned around blankly and went out, hearing the government official talking to a military official.
"What should we do now? Lin Sheng is dead and the specimen is gone. Has all our efforts been in vain?"
"Mr. Yang is trying to think of a way to get a piece of information from team leader Lin Sheng when he ejected into the atmosphere. The giant turtle is hatching eggs. The team leader brought back a turtle egg. Although it may have burned in the atmosphere, there must still be some.
Turtle egg, maybe we can get another one back and look at it again."
Although Lin Chen was disgusted with them saying such things in front of his father's body, he knew in his heart that his father had always put work first and had long been prepared to devote himself to the development of the universe. As a son, how could Lin Chen go against his father's wishes?
.
Lin Chen touched the warm goose egg in his arms, took it out and handed it to the government official: "Is this the turtle egg you are looking for?"
The government official looked at the goose egg in Lin Chen's hand, and his eyes widened. He suddenly became furious, grabbed the goose egg in Lin Chen's hand, threw it out, and cursed:
"Are you Lin Sheng's son? Are you stupid enough? You said he was alive when he was clearly dead just now. I don't think your father cared about you just now. Now you are joking with me with such a small goose egg. Are you?
Are you deliberately embarrassing your father? Huh?"
The goose egg was thrown out of the door by the official and rolled into the corridor. Lin Chen was stunned, "Are the people who have been commanding great space pioneers like dad such a bunch of rubbish?"
"Minister Wang, don't be angry. The child's father just died and it's normal for him to become mentally disturbed. You should be more patient and don't be like him."
A father-in-law came over to persuade the officials, although he, like others, felt that Lin Chen's actions were ridiculous. The giant tortoise was two million times bigger than the earth. How could the eggs be so small?
Moreover, according to the cabin pictures obtained by the Earth Command Office after Lin Sheng took samples, the specimen turtle egg was as big as a cabin room.
"I have enough troubles that I don't want to meet a little brat."
At Minister Wang's voice, Lin Chen walked out of the ward, looked up at the ceiling, tears welling up in his eyes.
"I shed tears for the last time, father. I will definitely become as strong as you."
Lin Chen wiped away his tears hard, clenched his fists, and was about to walk out. Suddenly he saw the goose egg in the corner of the corridor. It was not broken. Lin Chen picked it up and there was no crack at all.
But Lin Chen clearly felt something moving inside the goose egg, and the little life inside was about to be born.
Seeing the young lady and the beautiful woman waiting anxiously at the door of the hospital, Lin Chen felt a little warmer. At least, in this lifeless world of the end of the world, there are still two true friends.
"Be strong and don't be sad, you know?" the eldest lady said.
Lin Chen nodded.
"Okay, Miss, I'll treat you to something to eat. I..." The beauty leaned into Lin Chen's ear and said in a seductive voice, "I'll sleep with you tonight."
"I want to be quiet."
She has never experienced a life without her father. Even if her father was not at home before, Lin Chen never felt lonely because she knew where her father was.
But now...Lin Chen felt very confused.
Lin Chen took two steps, turned back to the eldest lady and the beauty, "I'm fine, see you tomorrow."
…
"No, we can't just let it go."
More than a thousand people attended the meeting, including the aerospace research conference room, government departments, the military, scientific and technological personnel, and astronaut personnel. After an hour of silence, the woman in white, who was the commander-in-chief of space exploration, spoke up.
"What else can we do? This time we lost so many spaceships and so many lives of space pioneers, resulting in a global storm disaster. Countless cities in America and Europe, especially Oceania, were turned into ruins. In the end, the army fought with the jihadists.
There was an air battle with heavy losses.
Now the whole people are panicking and demonstrating everywhere, demanding an end to space exploration and the transfer of funds and resources to people's livelihood. Because of disaster relief, our financial department is already running a deficit and there is an extreme shortage of various mineral and food resources. How can we continue?
If it continues, I think it will lead to a civil commotion, and then the world will be in chaos, and our resources will be used for ten or twenty years at most."
The Minister of Finance finished speaking in one breath, took a breath, and said seriously to the woman in white: "Mr. Yang, I know what you are thinking. It has been one hundred and thirty years, and finally there is a dawn, and no one wants to give up.
But wake up, there are no results. The global population is declining sharply due to hunger and environmental degradation. So what if samples are collected? Can humans move and live on the backs of turtles?"
"It's you who should wake up." The woman in white looked at the Minister of Finance: "The reason why I want to continue is not because of how much we have paid, nor because I am the commander-in-chief of space exploration. I will not starve to death if I am not the commander-in-chief.
There is only one reason why I want to continue. If there is no way out, we humans will perish."
"Our earth's resources can still be used for fifty years. In fifty years, how many of us, including you, Mr. Yang, will still have no coffins?" the Finance Minister shouted.
The woman in white looked at the angry Minister of Finance and suddenly smiled: "Have you finally told the truth?"
In the end, the meeting won an opportunity to explore the turtle due to the strong stance of the aerospace industry. It was also the last one, and very few resources could be used this time.
The woman in white was disgusted with the selfishness of other federal departments, but she still firmly seized this opportunity and began the general deployment.
"The previous exploration was not without success. According to the information sent back by the late Team Leader Lin Sheng, we at least know the following points.
First, the electron cloud in the belly of the giant turtle is the weakest.
Second, the electron cloud in the abdomen of the giant turtle is generated through the turtle shell. The turtle shell produces electron rays that wrap around the abdomen, forming countless electron cloud vortices.
If you hit the edge of the vortex, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die. However, as long as you are in the center of the vortex, the damage will be minimal. You can enter it to collect samples. Even if there are mysterious energy waves inside, it will not affect the collection.
Third, we only need to retrieve one turtle egg in this step. As long as we retrieve the turtle egg, I will definitely get funds for the next exploration for everyone, and the exploration plan will never stop.
However, we must retrieve the turtle eggs."
"Mr. Yang." A commander stood up: "This time, the resources we can use are tightly blocked by the government. We cannot use too many spaceships at all, let alone lose too many space pioneers, otherwise our plan will be blocked by the government.
strangle to death.
Although the electron cloud on the abdomen of the mysterious giant turtle is weaker than the turtle shell, it is equally strong. Mr. Yang said that he should go to the center of the vortex of the electron cloud, but that is a very small point.
It is too difficult for a spacecraft to find this point in an electronic storm. Countless spacecraft will definitely crash and die. We cannot afford such a huge loss, and the government will not allow such a huge loss."
After the commander finished speaking, the whole place fell into silence. Lin Sheng's spaceship entered the center of the vortex that the woman in white said.
But that's not just luck, it's also because of the strength of the 512 spacecraft's technology team and development team. The 512 spacecraft is the most sophisticated warship in the entire space exploration team.
No one believed that they would be so lucky this time, and even last time, they paid a heavy price.
The woman in white was silent. She knew that most of the governments no longer supported the space exploration program, and the last chance they gave her was just to shut the mouths of people like herself.
There are really not many cards that I can play right now.
After a long time, the woman in white raised her head: "If you don't use the first-level spacecraft, use the second-level spacecraft, don't use the space pioneers, use... students from Shengtang Middle School and other pioneer training schools... to test the vortex point of the electron cloud, and then
, Space Pioneer for sampling.”
"Student?" Everyone in the audience booed in shock.
