Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

Mr. Chu was thinking and Xia Jiumeng didn't disturb him.

After holding their breath and observing for a moment, Old Liu and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the atmosphere was not tense. Only then did they have the energy to turn around and look around.

It was also at this time that they realized that they had actually arrived in space.

Through the huge viewing window in the front of the spacecraft, they saw a beautiful picture of the galaxy.

Against the deep and dark blue background, planets of different sizes and colors are inlaid like sparkling gems.

From time to time, you can see meteors passing by, dragging long tails and instantly disappearing into the endless darkness.

Or the mysterious nebulae in the distance, they are like giant ribbons in the universe, emitting soft and charming light, with colors ranging from lavender to orange-red, brilliant and colorful.

Mr. Liu and others were mesmerized by the sight, as if they were conquered by the magnificent scenery of the vast universe.

"This is....."

Old Liu watched as a small dot of red light in the distance began to grow larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xia Jiumeng turned around when she heard that and said, "Oh, that's Mars. Aren't we heading towards it?"

"But why is it so fast?"

"Normal, the speed of the particle thruster is like this."

This speed is still slow compared to Xia Jiumeng.

The look in Old Liu's eyes when he looked at Xia Jiumeng was a little hard to describe.

It's not that he had never been on a ship in the deep space before, but none of them had such speed. No, they couldn't even reach one percent of this speed.

Can you imagine a planet growing larger in front of you at a speed visible to the naked eye?

It's like zooming in on the video.

Suddenly, something occurred to Old Liu. "Is this ship a very energy-intensive vessel?"

This speed, this incredible function, must require a lot of resources, right?

Don't take it back because it would be embarrassing if they can't afford to support it. You can't just leave it there and watch.

That would drive them crazy, really.

At this moment, Old Liu didn't even think about whether Old Chu would agree to Xia Jiumeng's conditions. After all, the value of this ship was there, and he felt that if the price was enough, it was worth the risk.

They've been in the weak room for so long, that's enough.

It was not easy for them to come this far. They relied on their own efforts to rebuild the country in the disaster, reunited the scattered people, and gradually grew stronger from weak to strong, doing their best to ensure the safety of the majority of people.

However, they feel uncomfortable because they do not have enough evidence to prove that some forces are secretly doing things that harm the people, disregard life, and even violate morality. They can only give in step by step.

But now it's different. With this ship, they may be able to change all that.

It can awaken the giant dragon that has been forced to sleep due to pain and bring new hope and prosperity to China.

Xia Jiumeng seemed to see through Mr. Liu's worry and chuckled, "Don't worry, it uses a new energy conversion system that can absorb various energy sources and convert them into power. The energy conversion rate can reach 85%, so it's not difficult to raise."

After hearing this, Liu Lao and others' eyes lit up. This was simply a perfect ship.

At this moment, Elder Chu slowly spoke, "Xia girl, I agree to your terms, but I also have a request. We can recognize the existence of the Lemurian race and grant them civil rights and legal protection, but the prerequisite is that you work hard to gain acceptance from the people and have the Book of Ten Thousand Names."

If they can make the public accept it, then for the sake of this ship and that poor race, China is willing to stand up and endorse it.

Xia Jiumeng pondered for a moment, then stood up and bowed solemnly to Mr. Chu.

She knew that Mr. Chu would agree, but she didn't expect it to be so soon. She thought he would at least consider it for a while.

After all, if the existence of the Lemurians were revealed, it would be equivalent to tearing off the face and interests of many forces.

China is willing to take the risk of offending forces at home and abroad in exchange for this ship, which is enough to show how much they value this ship. And the fact that Old Chu took the initiative to take responsibility at this moment is also a sign of trust in her.

She was very grateful, as she had only met one other wise old man like him.

That was Mr. Mao, the representative of the former Federal Dragon State.

"Mr. Chu, this ship will not let you down."

I do not know either.

Elder Chu saw through Xia Jiumeng's hidden meaning and laughed a few times before helping Xia Jiumeng to her feet. "Xia girl, there's no need to be like this. However, your grandfather Chu is very optimistic about you. In the future, if you have anything good, don't forget me."

"Of course." Xia Jiumeng smiled. "Would you like to enjoy the voyage together?"

"Haha, well, come to think of it, I've never experienced traveling through the universe like this in my life."

Old Chu smiled heartily and watched the interstellar scene passing by outside the huge glass of the control room with Xia Jiumeng.

...

The spacecraft was moving very fast, and soon they arrived near Mars.

【The destination address has been reached.】

Everyone looked at Mars through the glass. It looked like a huge red agate, with its surface covered with crisscrossing grooves and potholes.

It was far more shocking than any of the images they had seen.

Xia Jiumeng tapped the holographic screen in front of her and said, "It's getting late, let's go back."

"You can come and watch every day if you want. By the way, Mr. Chu, I will now hand over the captain's authority of the spacecraft to you."

Mr. Chu retracted his gaze and nodded, "Okay."

[Return coordinates confirmed, estimated time 3 hours.]

After setting the direction, Xia Jiumeng opened another interface.

[Core authorization has been enabled. Do you want to transfer core control authority? ]

Xia Jiumeng nodded yes.

The next second, Mr. Chu's information began to be collected by the core system of the spacecraft, and Xia Jiumeng turned her back tactfully.

People also have their own secrets, so avoid suspicion.

[Authorization change completed. It's a pleasure to travel with you, Captain Chu.] The voice of the intelligent assistance system sounded, and Xia Jiumeng turned around.

"Grandpa Chu, the transaction of my items has been completed."

"After the ship's authority is changed, the dedicated intelligent assistance system needs to be renamed. You can go back and do that. In addition to the things I just introduced, the ship has other interesting functions. You can study them slowly when the time comes."

Mr. Chu smiled and nodded to indicate that he understood.

Not long after, the huge spaceship stopped above N109 but did not descend.

While they were still confused, Xia Jiumeng said, "Grandpa Chu, please drive down dock No. 1. Someone is here to pick me up." After she finished speaking, she politely said goodbye and took the elevator to the dock.

"Okay." After General Chu opened the No. 1 docking cabin, he soon received a request.

[It has been detected that Yaya 1 has requested to dock. Do you agree? ]

Old Chu was silent for a moment as he looked at the giant bird in dock No. 1 that was emitting a cold golden-black metallic glow.

"This girl is really creative."

"Indeed, and it looks very lifelike." Old Liu was also very surprised when watching the video. The bird-shaped spaceship even had feathers, layered together, just like the real thing.

I just don't know if it will affect the performance.
