Angelina never thought that one day she would be able to attend such an important occasion and even participate in the process of history.
"Every second we are experiencing right now is a science fiction story about the past …"
The man sitting next to Angelina raised his eyebrows curiously.
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing." Angelina shook her head with a firm expression on her face. "I will write this sentence in the book."
"Book?"
"Yes, I plan to use the pseudonym Anna to write an epic about the future of human civilization … And I plan to put this sentence at the beginning of the book."
"That sounds interesting. Can I receive an autographed copy?"
Angelina squeezed her eyebrows and spoke in a teasing tone.
"Of course, as long as you are willing to pay for it, you can have as many copies as you want."
"Haha."
In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, Angelina boarded the transport ship named "Torch" with the others. Under the guidance of the crew, she fastened her seatbelt and connected the spacesuit to the life support system.
After looking around, Angelina couldn't help but ask.
"Where is our destination?"
"Earth! We naturally have to share such a great moment with our compatriots on Earth! "
The male passenger sitting not far away answered this question.
His face was full of excitement, and his beard seemed to be trembling. He said in an intense tone, "2.6 astronomical units. I heard that in less than a minute, we will be able to see the Tianzhou space station in front of us."
"You are …"
The man smiled, revealing his white teeth. He continued to speak excitedly.
"A reporter from Pan-Asian News! Haha, it's an honor to be able to sit here and witness this historic moment! "
As time passed, the Torch was getting closer and closer to the stargate.
It was at this moment that a gentle reminder floated from the ceiling of the cabin.
"Attention, passengers, the Torch passenger ship is entering the predetermined orbit. It will pass through the stargate in 5 minutes and enter the hyperspace channel.
"Because the gravitational field will fluctuate greatly at the moment of entering the door, please stay in your seats and fasten your seat belts to prevent safety accidents."
When Angelina heard these words, she subconsciously held her breath, and every cell in her body was tense because of nervousness.
However, there seemed to be a slight deviation from what she had expected. Although the feeling of being overweight made her feel a lot of burden, it was only for a moment.
The starry sky outside the window seemed to be flowing. It was pulled into many straight silver lines and reflected on the invisible but real space membrane, forming a colorful torrent.
"Is this the hyperspace channel? Unbelievable … This is simply too unbelievable. "
Sitting not far from Angelina was an old man with a grizzled beard. He looked out of the window excitedly, as if he wanted to stick his nose into the glass.
Judging from his temperament and attire, he didn't look like a journalist. He looked more like a scholar or researcher.
After being a reporter for so many years, Angelina was quite confident in her ability to read people.
However, just as she was about to think of a way to interview him, the huge and chaotic gravitational force attacked her again, pressing her firmly into the chair.
However, it was only for an instant.
The scene outside the window suddenly changed.
As an arc-shaped "door frame" flashed in front of her eyes, the flowing galaxy returned to stillness.??? As if someone had stepped on the brakes, the speed of the entire starship suddenly slowed down.
And all of this happened at the moment when the passenger ship Torch passed through the circular arch!
Of course, this was not the only thing that surprised Angelina the most.
Vaguely, she suddenly saw a blue figure in the deep and boundless darkness.
"Earth …"
"It's Earth!"
Someone else took her place and shouted out the excitement in her heart.
If it weren't for the seat belts on their bodies, no one would doubt that those excited people would jump out of their seats and hug each other.
"It's really incredible …"
Angelina gently raised her slightly trembling hand and glanced at her watch.
From Mars orbit to geosynchronous orbit …
The whole process took less than a minute!
At the same time, in the headquarters of the East Asia Heavy Industries branch in Tiangong City, Lu Zhou, who was standing in the conference room, was witnessing this historic moment with the man standing across the conference room.
The man's name was Li Guangya, the chairman of the Pan-Asian Cooperation.
Of course, to be more precise, it wasn't him standing here, but a holographic image he projected through the holographic conference system.
"It's incredible …" Li Guangya muttered the words that many people had said. He looked at his hands and looked around. "This is Mars?"
Lu Zhou: "You've never been here before?"
"I've been planning to come, but I can't find the time. After all, I have to be offline for a week or even two weeks, and our alliance can't be without a leader for such a long time."
When Li Guangya said this, there was a slight excitement on his face.
Then, he looked at Lu Zhou.
"Real-time communication has been achieved … The experiment of the stargate should have been successful, right?"
Lu Zhou glanced at his watch, thought for a moment, and said, "The Torch has just entered the stargate, and it will take about half a minute to come out."
"Then why is there no delay in the call between us?"
Lu Zhou: "The time it takes for massless photons and particles with mass to pass through the hyperspace channel is different."
Li Guangya coughed slightly awkwardly.
"I see …"
The conference room suddenly went silent for a few seconds.
It didn't take long before the news that the Torch had successfully reached the geosynchronous orbit came back through the hyperspace channel.
Lu Zhou, who was standing on Mars, and Li Guangya, who was in Beijing, received the good news almost at the same time.
Although this was expected, after hearing the news, Lu Zhou couldn't help but smile.
His expectations for the Z particle had finally been fulfilled at this moment.
Although he didn't think that he would be the one to complete this milestone, with the completion of this technology, human civilization would move into a new era.
Just when Lu Zhou was feeling happy about this moment, a light voice suddenly came from the other side of the conference table.
"The stargate is completed … Are you planning to go?"
Lu Zhou paused for a second. He looked at the serious expression on Li Guangya's face and thought for a while.
After thinking for a while, he said, "There are still a few things to do, don't rush to go."
"Do you have to go?"
Lu Zhou nodded.
"After going to Tau Ceti, I will go to the center of the Milky Way."
Li Guangya sighed and spoke.
"I still don't understand why you are so obsessed with that place."
"Because I have a reason to be obsessed, and only I can do this." Lu Zhou looked at Li Guangya and continued, "Believe me, this is for the future of our civilization."
"The future?" Li Guangya sighed. His eyes were looking somewhere, and he murmured to himself, "In the future that I can see, if you are there, it will be a bright future. But if you leave, we can only rely on ourselves to explore the path ahead. "
Lu Zhou: "This day will always come. I can't take you guys all the time, and I can't always be right."
Li Guangya: "Then can I ask you another question?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "You can ask as many questions as you want before I leave."
He originally thought that Li Guangya would ask him an academic question or the feasibility of a certain technology.
However, what he didn't expect was that what this guy asked was an unexpected question that had nothing to do with academics.
"With the breakthrough of faster than light technology as an opportunity, I want to revive the Human Alliance.
"Do you think this is a good time?"
