In her sleep, Vera felt a hand gently shaking her shoulder.
"Wake up, it's time to get up. We will get off the ship in two hours … If you don't get up now, you will regret it later."
Opening her eyes in a daze, Vera gently turned her face to the side, and her unfocused eyes drifted out of the window.
It was also at this moment that her pupils slightly shrank, and her slightly trembling eyelashes opened a trace of a shocked arc.
It was a fiery red planet.
The dust that filled the air outlined its silhouette, and it rolled along with the wind like a burning flame.
Contrasted by the light, the space station floating in orbit seemed so small, like a grain of sand submerged in dust, dancing on the edge of the flame.
"Is this … Mars?"
Looking at the fiery red planet outside the porthole, Vera couldn't help but widen her eyes, and her hands unconsciously touched the window.
"Yes, this is the frontier of our civilization … At least for now." A smile appeared on the corner of Angelina's mouth, and she said with fascination in her eyes, "Why are you so surprised? I remember that in the middle of the 21st century, people should have already landed on Mars. "
After these two weeks of sailing, the two had become friends who could talk about anything.
Vera was full of curiosity about everything in this world, and Angelina, who dreamed of becoming a journalist, also cherished this opportunity to interview a dormant person from the middle of the last century.
Especially since Miss Vera came from the 2020s.
That was the time when her idol was the most active in the world.
After hearing Angelina's words, Vera explained softly.
"That was probably what happened after I went dormant."
Before she went dormant, she vaguely remembered that the greatest thing people had done was to build a scientific research station on the Moon.
"I see." Angelina touched her chin thoughtfully. She looked at her and continued to ask, "Speaking of which, you said that you came to Mars to find someone … Who is that person? A relative? Or a descendant of a relative? "
Hearing this question, a warm smile appeared on Vera's face as she said softly.
"He was a great man."
"That's a coincidence. The purpose of my trip is probably the same. So far, the Pan-Asian Cooperation has refused to disclose the details of the commercialization of faster than light technology, so we journalists have to make a trip ourselves." Clearing her throat, Angelina looked at Vera, smiled, and continued, "A war has just broken out here, and the order is still unstable. I don't feel comfortable letting you run around alone. How about this, where do you want to go? I'll give you a lift. "
Vera said in embarrassment, "This … Isn't it too troublesome?"
Although this was a very tempting proposal, she was very worried that it would disturb her friend's work.
"Why would I?" Angelina said with a smile. "We're friends. Isn't it normal to help each other? Speaking of which, do you have a clue? Where is the person you want to see? Don't tell me you don't know. "
"How is that possible?" Vera shook her head and said with a smile, "I know where he is. I just didn't tell him that I was coming."
"Surprise, right? Haha, I understand. "Looking at Vera's shy face, Angelina squeezed her eyebrows and continued," Anyway, as long as you know where he is. Looking for people in Tiangong City is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Although this city is small, its population density is the highest in the solar system … "
While they were talking, the speakers above their heads played soft music.
Under the guidance of the flight attendant, the guests in the cabin stood up from their seats and began to leave the cabin of the transport ship in order.
Because she had not yet adapted to walking in a gravity-free environment, Vera, who had just left her seat, was a little flustered. Fortunately, Angelina next to her held her hand, so she did not make a fool of herself by floating to the ceiling.
"Take it easy. Imagine yourself as a fish, and right now, you're in the sea … Come with me. The shuttle to and fro usually doesn't take long. If it's full, we'll have to wait for the next one."
She took Vera's hand and quickly walked through the corridor of the waiting hall. Just as the two were about to stand on the shuttle, they were suddenly attracted by the scene outside the window.
It was an unimaginably huge starship, like a silver-white ruler, suspended in the orbit of Mars.
When she was on the transport ship, she didn't see this amazing spacecraft because of the angle. But now, she found that not only herself, but many tourists from Earth were also looking at her in surprise.
"What is that?"
"You mean that?" Following Vera's gaze, Angelina was slightly stunned, then said with a smile, "Oh, that thing, if I'm not mistaken, it should be Noah's Ark … Of course, now it is called the Milky Way, since Academician Lu bought it."
Noah's Ark?
For some reason, the expression on Vera's face was slightly complicated when she heard this news.
There was gratification, relief, as well as a hint of anticipation and regret in his heart.
Angelina looked at her strangely, but she didn't think too much about it.
After all, humans were sentimental animals, and she happened to be at a sentimental age.
They took the shuttle to the ground, and when the two dragged their luggage out of the terminal, Angelina could clearly feel the atmosphere of post-war reconstruction in the air.
The remaining bullet holes and pits left by explosions on the ground had not been completely erased, and some seriously damaged buildings were surrounded by isolation belts.
The expressions in the eyes of the tourists were somewhat curious, but the faces of the locals were filled with complex emotions.
Angelina stopped a taxi, watched the driver put the car into gear, and drove the car into the suspended pipeline. Angelina asked the driver.
Angelina asked the driver, "How's the security here recently?"
"The security is good, even better than before," the driver said in a casual tone. "But you know, ma 'am, Mars is not a peaceful place. It's better not to wander around … Where are you going?"
Angelina opened her mouth, but Vera, who was sitting next to her, immediately spoke.
"Star Sky Hotel."
Hearing this, both the driver and Angelina, who was sitting next to Vera, looked at her in surprise.
However, the driver didn't say anything. After saying "okay", he turned his attention back to driving.
About half an hour later, the car quickly arrived at its destination.
After getting off the car, the two of them stood in front of this magnificent hotel for a long time.
After politely refusing the doorman who came to help with the luggage, Angelina glanced at Vera a little uneasily and whispered in a hurry.
"Your friend … lives in this kind of place?"
Vera gave her a strange look.
"Is there a problem?"
"… Nothing."
The Star Sky Hotel, located in the center of Tiangong City, could be said to be the most luxurious hotel in the city. The credits needed to stay here for a day were equivalent to her monthly bonus, and this was only the most ordinary room.
Just as Angelina was thinking about what kind of person would live in such a place, a voice suddenly rang out.
A surprised voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Vera?!"
Hearing this voice, the two turned around together and looked in the direction of the voice.
Almost at the same time, Vera's eyes widened instantly, and her gem-like eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
Then, she sprinted in that direction.
Angelina, who was left at the same place, was dumbfounded.
"… Lu, Lu Zhou?"
She didn't expect that the great person that the little girl mentioned was actually him …
