When she left the executive lounge, Lu Xiaoqiao was dizzy.
It wasn't because she drank alcohol or anything else, but because everything she experienced today really subverted her perception.
Seeing Lu Xiaoqiao coming out of the hotel, Yang Fangfang quickly walked forward, grabbed her arm, and asked.
"You … Are you okay?"
Lu Xiaoqiao didn't speak. She just nodded blankly.
Seeing her good friend like this, Yang Fangfang couldn't help but worry.
She hurriedly asked, "What did he do to you?"
"Fangfang." Looking at her secretary and friend, Lu Xiaoqiao was silent for a long time. She said, "Actually … I am a descendant of Academician Lu."
Hearing these words, Yang Fangfang was stunned. She said, "Haven't you always been?"
Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head. After hesitating for a long time, she confessed this secret.
"I mean, not a collateral descendant, but a direct descendant …"
Yang Fangfang: "…???"
…
Recently, many major events had taken place in the world. Big fools had popped up one after another, filling the netizens' stomachs once and for all.
First, there was the breakthrough in warp speed technology, followed by the major regional alliances issuing joint initiatives, and then the successful construction of antimatter energy reactors …
In contrast, the identity of Academician Lu's descendant didn't seem to be a topic of discussion.
However, there was one thing that caught their attention regarding the international financial market.
That was, Star Sky Technology, which suddenly bought the Alpha Centauri Colonial Exploration Foundation some time ago, suddenly completed the change of the person in charge of the company and the restructuring of the business.
After the restructuring, Star Sky Technology would be managed by Lu Xiaoqiao. The business had also changed from the previous various patent management to an aerospace transportation company mainly engaged in space trade and related technology research and development.
Although on the surface, this didn't seem to be noteworthy, many people vaguely felt that something was wrong when they thought about Lu Zhou renaming Noah's Ark to Milky Way and resetting the voyage to Tau Ceti.
A route to the New World seemed to be looming in front of everyone.
The upcoming new era seemed to be brewing with infinite possibilities …
"A server … I have never seen such a strange order?"
Wu Jie, the captain of The Seagull, looked at the list in his hand and rubbed the stubble on his chin with his index finger. His face was filled with visible curiosity.
First Mate Wei Yuanfang, who was sitting next to him, grinned when he heard this.
"What's so strange about that? You've been in the space industry for so many years. What kind of strange goods haven't you seen?"
"That being said, this is the first time I've heard of someone specifically renting a transport ship just to send an old server to Mars." Wu Jie sighed softly. He stared at the list and said, "Isn't he going to consider something else? For example, fresh water or wheat … If I remember correctly, industrial products like servers should be very cheap on Mars. The shipping cost alone is enough for him to buy a new one. "
"Who knows?" Wei Yuanfang shrugged and said in a casual tone, "Maybe there's some important information in the server."
Wu Jie swiped his index finger in the air, turned off the holographic screen, and finally decided not to think about this problem anymore.
He sighed and said, "Maybe."
Ever since The Seagull was "launched", the two had been working together in this industry for many years, and they were considered old partners. Wu Jie always thought that he would repeat this life day after day, working with his old partner until he retired.
However, he didn't expect that five years before he retired, his old partner would give him a resignation application …
Therefore, this was probably the last time they would work together.
After this voyage, Wei Yuanfang, who got off the ship on Mars, would enter Star Sky Technology for induction training. In the next few months, he would travel with the Milky Way to the world outside the solar system.
His old partner had personally told him these things when they were having a drink before they set off.
After paying the checkpoint at the entrance of the interplanetary highway, Wu Jie looked at the stargate gradually approaching. He thought for a while and suddenly spoke.
"I remember you told me a long time ago that you were tired of living day after day. When you retire, you must find an island with beautiful scenery and spend the rest of your life drinking beer while enjoying the sea breeze."
Hearing these words, Wei Yuanfang smiled and said, "I did say that … I didn't expect you to remember."
"Maybe it's because life in space is too boring. I remember what each of you said." Wu Jie shrugged. After a moment of silence, he continued, "I thought that after you got off this ship, you would definitely choose to retire. I didn't expect you to choose a job that's even more unreliable than ours."
Wei Yuanfang shrugged.
"Maybe I'm just a person who can't stay idle."
"Tau Ceti …" Wu Jie put his arm on the console. He sighed with emotion and said, "I don't know if there are any habitable planets there."
Wei Yuanfang didn't worry too much about this problem. He spoke with a hearty smile.
"We'll know when we get there."
Perhaps Wu Jie was encouraged by his old friend's smile, the corners of his mouth also raised. He reached out his fist and bumped Wei Yuanfang's shoulder.
"Okay, since you said that, I won't pour cold water on your dream … I'll wait for your postcard from the new world."
Wei Yuanfang: "It's a deal!"
While they were talking, the Seagull had already passed through the stargate and entered the hyperspace channel.
The starlight that filled the sky formed a long and narrow silver line that was left far behind.
Feeling the gradually rising gravity, Wu Jie, who was leaning against the cushion seat, closed his eyes and rested for a while.
Soon, the uncomfortable feeling faded in an instant. When he came back to his senses, the spaceport floating in orbit around Mars had already appeared in front of him.
"This era is really getting more and more difficult to understand …"
Wu Jie turned on the automatic navigation program. Under the guidance of the port control tower, he docked the Seagull in the spaceport in orbit around Mars.
He got off the ship through the gangway and stood in front of the berth for a while. He looked at the time on his watch and was about to make a phone call to ask the customer how long it would take to complete the delivery of the goods. However, at this moment, an unexpected person appeared in the cargo ship docking area and walked toward him.
"You are …" Wu Jie's eyes widened as he looked at the person in front of him. He opened his mouth, his face full of disbelief.
He didn't expect that the person who came to collect the goods from him was actually this big shot.
"Lu Zhou." Lu Zhou briefly introduced himself. He pulled out the anonymous goods list from his personal terminal and gently pushed it in front of him. He looked at him and continued, "What I ordered, has it been delivered?"
"It has been delivered …" Wu Jie, who came back to his senses, quickly clicked on it, stretched out his index finger, and clicked on the goods list, completing the delivery of the goods.
Looking at the one million credits in his account, he hesitated, but in the end, he couldn't help but ask.
"May I ask, that server … Is there anything special about it? Ah, of course, if it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask … "
"Nothing special." Looking at the captain with confusion written on his face, Lu Zhou smiled and said casually in a chatty tone, "You can think of it as a special program for me.
"Or, some special historical relic."
