Between the Earth and the Moon, the Ark was sailing in the lonely universe.
Johnny's expression was not very good because they had already received news from Houston that a huge solar storm was coming in the direction of Earth. In terms of time, the arrival of the solar wind was just in time, and the Ark would be completely exposed to the solar wind.
Johnny was not a fool, although he was not a scientist. But he had an extremely smart sister and an equally smart brother-in-law. Their explanation was very clear as to what they were about to face.
Without any help in space, directly exposed to the solar wind, the possibility of their survival was infinitely close to zero. To be honest, Johnny was ready to sacrifice himself. Although his brother-in-law was still calculating something quickly, trying to avoid the solar storm this time, he didn't know what to do.
But … forget it, he would do his best and leave it to fate. Just as Johnny was about to give up, a new message came from Houston. The one who passed the message was Abraham, the monitor who had been in charge of contacting him.
"Ark One, I'm sending you a message now. The ground is ready to rescue you. Please don't give up! "As soon as Abraham finished speaking, the eyes of Johnny, who was a little depressed, lit up.
Dr. Reed also put down the formula and flight angle calculation with Ben and Susan and hurriedly ran to the bridge. "Houston, this is Ark One. What's your plan?"
"Don't be too anxious, Dr. Reed. You have to calm down. Our next plan still needs your calm mind. "It was no longer Abraham who spoke now. Dr. Reed was very familiar with the voice.
"Tony?" Dr. Reed already recognized the owner of the voice.
"It's me. We've already made a rescue plan. I've spent a lot of effort to save you. I've tried to convince the space agencies of all countries around the world to use almost all the rockets and spacecraft on Earth. Now they've been launched. They're carrying the outer armor I'm going to use to build the Sky City. "Tony Stark told Dr. Banner's plan.
"I'll use two Arks that are almost completed. They'll carry my Iron Warriors into space. After that, we will use the armor materials carried by the rockets to build a fortress to shelter you from the wind within a limited time. According to our calculations, you only need to carry out a low-power ignition once, and you will be able to reach the fortress within the time limit and avoid the solar storm! "
"Alright, Tony. Tell me the steps in detail. "Dr. Reed didn't waste any time. He didn't want to die in space. He still had a lot of things to do.
In fact, Dr. Reed was overthinking because even if the rescue failed this time, they would not really be in danger. Because Li Jie took Thor and Magneto to board the Battleship that had been prepared long ago and escorted them in the dark.
Thor was responsible for solving the problem if they were exposed. And Magneto is prepared to let him intervene in case there is a problem with the construction of the Battlestar.
For Magneto, moving and gluing some metal objects in space is easier than playing with Legos. To play with Lego, one would need to read the instruction manual, but not this one.
Li Jie is the commander of the entire fleet, commanding the fleet to rescue Dr. Reed and the others when necessary. Because this is not a combat mission, there is no need to stay in the command cabin of the Venus base all the time. Li Jie also boarded the Battleship and sailed in space for the first time.
"This is the earth ~!" Li Jie looked at the earth like this for the first time in space. From Venus, the earth is just a small dot. And looking at the earth between the earth and the moon, Li Jie saw the magnificent beauty of the earth from space for the first time.
The planet is mainly blue in color. In addition to the blue seawater, there are white clouds, green grasslands, and yellow deserts. This kind of shock is not something that can be given by the colored pages in geography textbooks.
"This is the earth." Magneto stood beside Li Jie and repeated the sentence. Although it was the same words, the tone and tone were completely different.
Li Jie was lamenting, while Marx was affirming.
"This is my home. This is the place I have fought for all my life. She was magnificent, and her beauty was boundless. She is the most beautiful gem in this universe. "Li Jie said with emotion.
Magneto poured cold water on him: "That's because you haven't seen other magnificent and beautiful planets."
Li Jie nodded and did not refute: "I have not seen other planets, but that does not prevent me from agreeing with the beauty of the earth. Because I am an Earthling, this is the place where we were born. We have been marked by this planet since billions of years ago. We are her descendants, and she gave birth to us. "
"No matter where we are going in the future cosmic era, this will always be our home. She has countless beauties. "
Marx seemed to deliberately disagree with Li Jie and said: "But this home breeds more than beauty. There are countless ugliness and wars. I have seen a lot of them, haven't I? You have even participated in a lot of them. "
Li Jie did not deny this: "Yes, I have never denied this. But I have never been unable to see the beauty just because I have seen the ugliness. It is because of the ugliness that we feel the value of beauty. "
"This world is always like this, disputes, riots, discrimination, and so on. I don't know who can end all this. I didn't think anyone could end all this from the beginning. I never believed in the existence of a beautiful Utopia. "
Marx looked at Li Jie with some surprise. "I thought you had been working in this direction. You often say that you want to make the world a better place."
Li Jie looked at the magnificent earth outside the window: "Yes, I don't deny this. I am very conflicted. I don't believe that there is a Utopia in this world, and I don't believe that the ugliness of human beings will be completely eliminated. But I never give up my ideas and stop my actions because of these. "
"Humans have never stopped fighting since the moment they were born, but we have always moved forward. Look at those predecessors, those who expected to build a Utopia. Do they really believe that Utopia really exists? Or is it just a fantasy? " Li Jie turned his head to look at Marx, and the smile on the corner of his mouth made Marx feel for the first time that Li Jie was very difficult to understand.
Magneto asked with some difficulty, "So what do you want?"
Li Jie looked deeply in the direction of the earth: "What do I want? What I want is different at each time. I used to be satisfied with a little wealth, and then I wanted to grow a little bit. At this point, what do I want? "
Li Jie took a deep breath. "I've come, I've seen it, I've pushed it! I don't ask anyone to understand, but I need to prove to myself that I have deeply existed in this world! I am not the protagonist of this world, but I am the only protagonist in my life. "
"To put it bluntly, this world will be very different without me. And that is what I seek. I am not a mortal, but an irreplaceable part of this world! "Li Jie's eyes flashed with this kind of light:" I don't seek to go down in history, I don't seek to be immortal. I just want my existence to be unique in the world while I am alive! "
In the direction of the earth, the first rocket has carried its cargo out of the atmosphere, and the first extraterrestrial rescue of humans on earth is about to begin.
PS: I forgot to explain the previous chapter's note. About the story of Apollo 13, this was the third manned moon landing program carried out by the United States. But on the second day after launch, the rocket's service module exploded. The astronauts were isolated and helpless in space. They teamed up with scientists in Houston to use the moon's slingshot effect to return to Earth without using any power.
