"I still feel a little unreal, as if everything I experienced in space was like a dream. It's like we participated in the shooting of a Hollywood movie, "Johnny said.
He, his sister, brother-in-law, and his brother-in-law's assistant had been back on Earth for a while. But Johnny still felt a little dreamy.
First, it was working on the moon. A year's experience was already very dreamy, but on the way back, they encountered a solar storm. Originally, Johnny was ready to sacrifice himself, just like in those hero movies.
He had even written his last words, which were: I have no regrets, because I have dedicated my life to the great cause of humanity's advancement.
Well, Johnny hoped that he would die a little more heroic, a little more heroic. In the future, he might be able to be in elementary school textbooks. He just hoped that when the time came, they would be able to give him a clearer color illustration. It wouldn't be like the textbooks when he was a child, where his teacher couldn't tell Marx from Engels. It wasn't that he was face-blind, but that the quality of the books was too poor!
But his last words were useless, because Tony Stark came up with an extraordinary plan. He and Captain Rogers convinced almost all the countries in the world with space capabilities to carry out a rescue operation called the Thousand Star Project.
They had succeeded, creating a pioneering feat in human history. Realizing an outstanding extraterrestrial rescue, Ark I successfully hid in a space fortress, avoiding the solar wind.
After the solar wind passed, Ark I broke through the atmosphere and returned to Earth. They were chased by the global media, and Dr. Reed and the other four were hailed as pioneers and heroes of humanity's advancement.
Even New York City held a grand parade for the four of them. It was just like when Yuri Gagarin of the Soviet Union represented humanity's first entry into space, and when Armstrong of the United States represented humanity's first human footprint on the moon. The four of them were unprecedentedly popular.
Four outstanding heroes in the history of space, they built the first forward base for humanity on the moon. They planted the first flag for the era of human colonization. All these praises made Johnny a little complacent.
Just as he was still enjoying it, his brother-in-law, Dr. Reed, suddenly asked the four of them to restrain themselves. They would no longer participate in any media invitations, and they would not accept any other exposure except for the official publicity.
"The typhoon is coming, the pigs are flying. This did not mean that the pig could fly. It was just standing on the wind. We're just like this pig being blown by the wind. Don't get too carried away. "Dr. Reed maintained his usual calmness.
His fiancée, Susan, expressed her support for Dr. Reed's request. Ben Grethel, who had always been Reid's deputy, was a man of few words, so he didn't object.
Johnny was the one who liked to join in the fun the most among the four, but since the other three had reached an agreement, he couldn't object. He couldn't just run to the TV station and shout, "Come on, come and interview me!"
That would be too shameless. He couldn't bring himself to do such a thing. And after some time to cool his enthusiasm, Johnny felt that Reed was right. One shouldn't get too carried away. After all, he was just an ordinary pilot. If not for Tony's plan to save him, he might have been blown to death by the solar wind.
Speaking of which, after returning to Earth for some time, Johnny was also thinking about his next step. What should he do next? He used to be a US Air Force pilot, but in order to fight for a rare opportunity to land on the moon, Johnny used various connections to withdraw from the Air Force.
Now that he was back on Earth, NASA sent him an invitation. They hoped that they could join NASA, just like Johnny said. He was now the ace pilot with the longest time flying in space on Earth. Several European Space Agencies also sent him invitations.
Johnny hadn't decided if he wanted to join NASA or another space agency. Because he had already thought about it in space, he didn't particularly like pure scientific navigation. He liked things that were a little more exciting, just like when he was flying a fighter jet in the sky.
He wanted to pilot a space battleship and soar in space, just like in the story of Star Wars. It would be a great feeling to be able to pilot an X-wing fighter.
Did the Earth Federation have a plan to build a space battleship? It would probably be difficult, because the Earth Federation was still in its infancy. It would be too difficult to determine the ownership of a space fleet.
"Sigh, this is really troublesome. I need to flip through the newspaper to find my new job. "Johnny really didn't want to work in an organization like NASA. Although he had the opportunity to continue flying in space, it was obvious that there were a lot of constraints in such an organization. He had suffered a lot in the military. He didn't want to try it again.
"Am I a little too free?" Johnny muttered to himself. His only audience was a golden retriever. During the year on the moon, the golden retriever had been sent to a friend's house. Now that he was back, he couldn't wait to pick it up.
"Xiao Jin (the name of the golden retriever), what do you think I should do? Look at the job opportunities in the newspaper. Ah, super high-speed railway hiring advanced technical workers and engineers. Oh, this job is suitable for Ben, but not for me. "Johnny flipped through the newspaper with a lack of interest.
The golden retriever stuck to his side, scratching the newspaper with its paw. It seemed like it was helping Johnny choose a job.
"Hmm, space construction worker at the spaceport? Moving bricks is not suitable for me. I don't even want to go to NASA unless the spaceport can give me a space fighter to fulfill my dream of space combat. "Johnny continued to shake his head and flip through the newspaper.
Goldie kept patting the newspaper with its paw, but Johnny wasn't satisfied with any of the job positions. Right now, he didn't want to do anything other than flying space fighters or space battleships. So the more Johnny read, the more depressed he became.
Until Goldie's paw landed on the entertainment section of the newspaper.
"Are you serious?" Johnny looked at Goldie very seriously. Goldie panted and looked at Johnny with his big eyes. He kept blinking his dog eyes.
Johnny clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you. Let's go watch the new 'Iron Man' movie! I've been away from Earth for a year, I should find some entertainment to return to human society. Let's go to hell with work first! "
As he spoke, Johnny went to the bathroom to tidy himself up and found a new set of clothes to put on. Then, he used hair gel to fix his hair. No matter what, Johnny had to look cool when he went out.
It was the same even when he was a pilot on a mission. Back then, he wanted to be a pilot because he saw Tom Cruise's' Top Gun '. He had to be as handsome as Tom Cruise.
Just as Johnny opened the door of his house and was about to go out to watch a movie with Goldie, a person who was standing in front of his door and was about to knock on his door appeared in front of Johnny.
Hmm, although he had seen this person many times in photos, Johnny couldn't help but ask when he saw the person in person, "Have you really never had a one-night stand with your grandmother?"
Otherwise, why would the two of us look so similar? We look at least fifty percent alike!
Facing the person, Johnny didn't know if he should reveal his inner thoughts. But the person in front of him smiled and said, "Johnny Stone, hello. Can I have a good chat with you? I have something to talk to you about. "
