Looking at the back of the woman, a trace of regret appeared on Professor Leonard's face.
He turned his head to look at Lu Zhou and spoke.
"You shouldn't have rejected her."
"Why?"
"You are now an unregistered resident. Even if you have an identity card, you probably haven't logged into the household registration database. You don't have the benefits of the Pan-Asian Cooperation. You can't open a personal account, and sooner or later, you will be exposed. Also, you are frozen and dormant in this era. Your identity information has not been frozen. I'm afraid it has already been canceled. It is not so easy to apply for the Pan-Asian household registration procedures … "
Professor Leonard glanced at the side and saw that no one was looking at him. He leaned closer to Lu Zhou, lowered his voice, and continued, "I know a little Chinese. Listening to the lady's pure Mandarin pronunciation, she should still be a Chinese … Do you know what this means?"
"What does this mean?"
"Among the many member states of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, the most valuable and difficult to apply for is the China household registration. If you marry her on the spot and become naturalized after 12 months, it won't take long for you to return the credit points I lent you — "
"F * ck off."
Perhaps Professor Leonard was frightened by Lu Zhou's tone. He shrunk his neck and immediately closed his mouth, no longer mentioning this topic.
…
Lu Zhou originally thought that his refusal was not euphemistic enough, but he did not expect that he still underestimated the enthusiasm and unrestrained feelings of people in this era.
In the past two days, the woman had been intentionally or unintentionally approaching him, or saying some rustic words of love that were probably copied from a book.
Perhaps it was because the way people expressed their love in this era was so frank that in addition to feeling embarrassed, Lu Zhou also felt offended.
Professor Leonard was confused by Lu Zhou's reaction. After observing him for two days, he finally couldn't help but speak.
"Don't tell me … You actually like men."
Lu Zhou, who was drinking water, almost choked on the liquid in the straw. He coughed a few times before he recovered.
"Cough cough! What the hell? "
F * ck!
He had already dodged the hijacking. If he were to choke to death in the water, that would be too frustrating.
"I'm just curious." Professor Leonard shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the figure in the front row. "Even if you don't like it, why not try it? Or do you just mind that she has children? "
"Why must we waste time trying? I can't agree with your logic … "After a rhetorical question, Lu Zhou put the drinking water bag aside and continued in a critical tone," And in our era, the expression would be more euphemistic. Anyway, I can't quite accept it. "
"I see … This is a valuable piece of information."
After hearing these words, Professor Leonard pinched his chin and nodded.
However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that Lu Zhou had quietly distanced himself from him.
After being taken aback for a moment, Leonard quickly realized what was going on. He coughed and quickly explained.
"Don't misunderstand … That's not what I mean. I'm talking about the value of ancient culture research."
Lu Zhou: "…"
…
Forty-eight hours after passing by the Tianzhou Space Station, the two patrol ships of the Pan-Asian Cooperation First Fleet arrived at the out-of-control flight N-177 on the dot.
After completing the orbital operation, the two patrol ships sandwiched flight N-177 in the middle. The maintenance drone docked on the patrol ship supplied the propulsion working medium to the flight.
Looking at the Pan-Asian soldiers boarding the flight, Lu Zhou's worried heart finally relaxed. The other tired faces in the cabin also showed relieved expressions.
This was probably the longest flight they had ever taken in their lives.
However, for Lu Zhou, this was only a flight from Mars to Earth, and it would take a "normal" amount of time.
In addition to distributing consolation items, the Pan-Asian Cooperation soldiers also checked the identity cards of the passengers on the ship in turn.
On the one hand, it was to eliminate security risks and prevent the accomplices of those air pirates from hiding among the passengers. On the other hand, it was to check whether anyone was missing or killed.
To be honest, when it was his turn to be checked, Lu Zhou was still nervous.
After all, he was an unregistered citizen. If he was found to have a problem at this time, it would be a bit hard to explain.
But fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen. Xiao Ai was still as reliable as ever.
The soldier who scanned his identity card did not find any problems. He politely returned the card to him, then walked to the next passenger.
Perhaps because they did not want to disturb them, these soldiers did not have much interaction with ordinary passengers.
After retrieving the corpses and the wreckage of the robots, some of them returned to the patrol ship, leaving only the pilot and two marines on the flight.
Lu Zhou didn't know what they would write in the investigation report after seeing the corpses, but to be honest, he felt that he might have gone overboard.
The magnetic slingshot was easy to explain, but he really didn't know how to explain the nitrogen shield.
But interestingly, the Pan-Asian Cooperation soldiers did not question him too much. They just expressed surprise and admiration for his brave move, then went to do other things.
After the working fluid replenishment was completed, flight N-177 began to return.
The spacecraft was operated by a professional pilot, and the modules that had been removed were repaired. There were almost no twists and turns in the second half of the voyage …
The Tianzhou space station once again appeared in Lu Zhou's eyes.
"The flight will arrive in 15 minutes. You will stay on the Tianzhou space station for a while, then take a shuttle to Jinling City in the Yangtze River Delta city group.
"As for compensation, Pan-Asian Airlines, Ping An Asia, and the Air Traffic Administration will negotiate with you. As for the cause of the accident, we will inform everyone as soon as the results of the investigation are out. "
"We are sincerely sorry for what happened to you …"
Lu Zhou didn't hear what the Marine soldier said afterward.
He looked at the blue planet that reappeared on the porthole and the mountain-like spaceport. His heart was full of shock, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.
It was difficult to describe the boiling feelings in his heart at the moment in a few words.
In addition to the majestic spaceport and the blue planet, there was also excitement, nervousness, and some other indescribable emotions in his eyes.
Maybe this is what it means to be close to home.
He had been away for a hundred years.
What did a hundred years mean?
Many people might not be able to feel the vicissitudes of life and the changes of generations in their lifetime.
But for him, everything that happened a century ago seemed like it happened yesterday.
And in the blink of an eye, everything changed …
…
Pan-Asia, Yangtze River Delta city group, Jinling.
Next to the landing area of the aerospace airport, a dense crowd was waiting.
In addition to some people watching the fun, most of them were personal media and reporters from all over the world, as well as official personnel of Pan-Asian Cooperation.
Live broadcast drones floated above people's heads, and the camera was aimed at the distant sky without moving for a moment.
Today was the day when the passengers of flight N-177 returned.
Since the hijacking of this flight, this transport ship that deviated from its course had become the focus of attention of the world's media.
This was a Pan-Asian Cooperation flight!
A regional alliance led by the world's most powerful country!
Who was so courageous to provoke the powerful Pan-Asian Cooperation in such a way?
Almost everyone in the world was paying attention to the progress of this hijacking incident, waiting for the follow-up response from the Pan-Asian Cooperation, and praying for the passengers on the flight.
And now, after a series of bad news, there was finally good news.
Those hijacked passengers were finally taken back to Earth.
In half an hour at most, they would land here …
"… Now in front of us is the Pan-Asian Cooperation Yangtze River Delta city group, Jinling City Airport."
Facing the camera of the interview drone, a fashionably dressed reporter held a recording pen in her hand and explained the situation at the scene in an excited voice.
"Soon, the shuttle from the Tianzhou will land here, and our compatriots will be safe — look! They're here! "
While she was speaking, a touch of silver appeared in the distant sky.
A shuttle-shaped shuttle drilled out of the clouds, getting closer and closer to the ground, and finally landed smoothly on the open space of the landing area.
A movable gangway approached. As the pneumatic escalator popped out, it was accurately docked on the open hatch. The faces that people were looking forward to finally appeared in front of the camera.
Walking out of the shuttle, the dazzling sunlight reflected in his eyes, and Lu Zhou subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
When he finally adapted to the sunlight on Earth, the dazzling scene suddenly reflected in his eyes.
"Thank you, hero of the Pan-Asian people!"
A middle-aged man in formal attire stepped forward and gave him a big hug. He held his hand and revealed a smile full of white teeth.
"On behalf of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, I would like to extend my highest respect and gratitude to you! Welcome, welcome, welcome home! "
Lu Zhou glanced at him blankly. After shaking hands with him, he saw the recording pens, cameras, and interview drones behind him.
In the blink of an eye, those pairs of fanatical and suffocating gazes and questions came at him like a tide.
"I heard that you solved the hijackers on the flight?"
This was probably the simplest question, and Lu Zhou gave an ambiguous answer.
"… Sort of."
Although 70% of the credit was due to Xiao Ai, the high-tech weapons provided by the system accounted for at least 20% of the credit.
However, the weight that the reporters at the scene felt from these three words was completely different from him, who said these three words casually.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little high.
"Is it convenient to disclose the specific details?"
"… Sorry, I don't want to remember that thing."
This was Professor Leonard's suggestion to him. If it was a question he didn't want to answer, just refuse it.
In the 22nd century, whether it was a reporter's interview or someone's inquiry, unless it was an accusation of some special crimes, even the court could not force a person who didn't want to talk to speak.
Sure enough, after he straightforwardly refused, although the reporter's expression was quite regretful, he still did not continue to ask for relevant details.
However, although he rejected this question, there were still a bunch of questions waiting for him.
A young reporter squeezed to the front of the crowd, looked at him with admiration in her eyes, and said excitedly.
"Hero, can I ask for your name?"
Name …
"I …"
Facing the recording pen in front of him, Lu Zhou opened his mouth.
He wanted to say the name on the identity card.
But after a moment of silence, he suddenly changed his mind.
He was Lu Zhou.
From beginning to end …
This was the expectation that his parents had placed on him, and it was also the world's recognition of him. It was not something worth hiding.
Whether it was the past or the future …
Facing the recording pens, as well as the pairs of admiring, excited, curious, and expressionless eyes looking at him, he looked around at the cameras around him.
With a clear and certain tone, he finished the sentence that he had left unsaid.
"I am Lu Zhou."
Before he could finish his sentence.
The atmosphere at the scene was boiling in an instant …
