Chapter 29 Noah's Plan

Days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it had been a month since the destruction of the earth. On this day, the base had a 24-hour holiday for the first time. Many people returned to their rooms and slept soundly.

"In the past month, our base construction has achieved new results. The electricity consumption has exceeded 11 million kilowatts, the industrial production index has exceeded 11,360 points, and the production of steel is 1.13 million tons..." A host on the TV was introducing the current development of the lunar base in a vivid and emotional manner.

Listening, Wang Zhiyuan suddenly smiled. He watched this program every day, and it has almost become a habit. Although he is just an ordinary engineer, he also cares about everything in the base.

He was lying in the dormitory to rest. He had been working overtime for a month, and suddenly stopped. He felt exhausted and didn't want to move at all.

His roommate Zhao Chao was cooking a pot of clear soup with cabbage. The first batch of vegetables after the agricultural transformation has matured. Two people just got two kilograms. Just boil them with water, add some salt, and add some MSG brought from the earth. The taste is just like heaven on earth!

"What a top enjoyment!" Wang Zhiyuan picked up a cabbage, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it slowly before swallowing it, and finally closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. This cabbage reminded him of the past, and he almost cried.

Damn, he is so unmotivated that he is so excited to eat a cabbage. He cursed himself secretly, and suddenly thought of something. He dug under the bed and took out something, a wine bottle, "Here, the last bottle of wine, have a drink!"

Zhao Chao opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief: "How can there be wine? Didn't you drink it all that day?"

"Uh... I hid it before, this is really the last bottle." Wang Zhiyuan was not embarrassed and sighed, "Our lives will get better and better, and there will definitely be wine brewed in the future, so we won't have to worry about not having enough to drink. Hey, didn't you say you wanted to find a wife? Have you found a girl?"

"How can that be? I don't have the time. We are all men in our production team, so there are no girls." Zhao Chao said unhappily.

The two chatted casually for a few words, and Wang Zhiyuan suddenly asked, "Have you heard any rumors? There are rumors that the moon is about to hit the earth, and people will not live for a few days!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Chao's expression tightened, and he quickly closed the door. "What I heard is that the moon was hit by an asteroid. There are several versions... It's bullshit. Several rumor makers have been arrested, so don't think about it! If it is true, I believe Captain Yu Yifeng will give us an explanation. What are you afraid of? If the sky falls, there are tall people to support it."

"Oh, that's right." Wang Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "If there is anything, those upper-level people will be anxious first. Now they don't know what they are doing, and they have to work half a day. ”

“Yeah, it seems like they are going to do something big, so mysterious. I asked my leader, but got only one reply: keep it secret! Captain Yu is really capable of doing things.”

“It’s a good thing to be able to do things, otherwise it will become stagnant sooner or later. There are only 50,000 of us in the vast space. How can we survive without major changes?”

“Bah, what do you know?”

At this time, the TV suddenly jumped to a channel automatically, and Yu Yifeng appeared on the screen. “Everyone, I am Yu Yifeng, and now I have something to announce.” Looking at the screen, it seems to be a huge conference room in the Central Building, where thousands of people are sitting together, from all walks of life, waiting for Yu Yifeng’s speech.

“Hey, I seem to have seen the notice yesterday, how about we go and take a look?”

“Forget it, there are no seats left, and it’s the same to watch on TV.”

Wang Zhiyuan and Zhao Chao both stopped and stared at the TV. Not only that, most people in the base stopped what they were doing. Some were reading, some were playing games, and some were eating, but now they all stopped.

Yu Yifeng doesn't appear on TV often, but whenever he does, it's big news and big events that are related to everyone.

Will the moon really collide with the earth? Will there really be an asteroid attack? A vague bad feeling appeared in Wang Zhiyuan's heart. After all, many people have heard the rumors, but there are too many versions and they are too messy, so no one believes it. Now it's so formal, maybe it's really a big thing.

Yu Yifeng prepared for a while, and seeing that most people had arrived, he coughed lightly and said, "We humans have learned to look at the starry sky since we were born with wisdom. The brilliant Milky Way and the boundless universe are so vast and majestic, and contain infinite knowledge and secrets. We have always been curious and full of questions about the starry sky."

"Kant once said that there are two things in the world that can deeply shock people's hearts. One is the lofty moral standards in our hearts, and the other is the brilliant starry sky above our heads."

"The brilliant starry sky above our heads shows us the infinity of the universe. Compared with it, humans are so small, but the tiny humans rely on wisdom and courage to compete with the starry sky!"

The TV screen began to jump, the infinite universe, the vast starry sky, and the great things accomplished by humans.

"In 1961, Soviet Yuri Gagarin completed the world's first manned space flight, taking the first step towards the stars."

"In 1969, American Armstrong landed on the moon for the first time, taking the second step towards the stars."

"Next, the remaining 50,000 humans will carry on the last will of mankind and take the third step towards the stars!"

Many people were confused and didn't understand what Yu Yifeng was going to say. Towards the stars, is this about doing aviation? Some people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from what Yu Yifeng said, it shouldn't be a bad thing, right?

Yu Yifeng took a deep breath and suddenly said: "I declare that the first interstellar navigation project of mankind has officially started, code-named - Noah!"

"From tomorrow, we humans will usher in a project that has never been seen in history - the interstellar navigation project! All of us will witness this great moment! According to the plan, in five months, all of us will leave the embrace of the moon and embark on the journey to Mars!"

"The target planet - Mars!"

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone was shocked, and the meeting suddenly became chaotic. Wang Zhiyuan and Zhao Chao were no exception. They had both a passionate impulse and a strange sense of uneasiness. Humans are creatures that desire stability. They are used to staying on the moon, and suddenly they have to go to Mars. How can they feel a little uneasy?

The most important thing is that this matter was too sudden, and people were not mentally prepared. Some were excited, and some were confused. Is interstellar navigation really feasible?

"Everyone please be quiet and listen to me." Yu Yifeng said, "After more than two weeks of discussion, our more than 3,000 scientists have come up with a completely feasible plan. Interstellar travel is feasible with our human capabilities. We will not joke with our lives, please believe us!"

"We discussed every detail and every step. This time, we will take an alien spaceship, the Noah spaceship, and use nuclear propulsion to go to Mars!" In just a few words, he explained the general plan.

The crowd gradually calmed down. What alien spaceships and nuclear propulsion sounded bold and crazy. Since the most authoritative scientists said it was feasible, then maybe it was really feasible. Many people have visited alien spaceships. In the eyes of the general public, the technological content is very high, so interstellar travel should not be a problem...

Besides, Captain Yu Yifeng's character is still very trustworthy.

Some people began to whisper to each other, "Boss, have you attended those meetings? Is it feasible?"

"Feasible!"

After receiving a positive reply, some people began to have a strange feeling in their hearts. Interstellar travel, this is interstellar travel! Women are better, but men are different. All men have grand dreams of the sea of ​​stars and steel battleships in their hearts. But these dreams will slowly dissipate as they get older and time passes, but now, the original dream is picked up again. Can the fantasy of childhood come true?

They began to get excited and their blood began to boil.

"The moon is not our home planet, and there is nothing worth lingering on the moon. There is no air, no blue sky and white clouds. Do you want to stay here for a lifetime? Do you want your children to never see the blue sky and white clouds?"

"No! We have to leave, leave the poor moon, and Mars not far away is like a beautiful girl, waiting for us!"

"Brothers, our distance is the sea of ​​stars!"

People were silent, silent, and suddenly, several miners behind shouted loudly, "Aerospace! Aerospace! Aerospace!" They came from a small country and had no aerospace technology at all. Now they heard Yu Yifeng's plan and were excited. They were proud to be able to participate in this great project. "Alei, alei alei alei..." Several guys roared and sang.

More people began to be inspired. When they thought that they were part of this great project, their blood boiled and they dispersed the feeling of uneasiness.

A crazy passion appeared in people's hearts. They began to cheer and scream. The whole venue was boiling. People were too lazy to consider its feasibility. Anyway, scientists said it was feasible. What was there to oppose?

"Pah!" With a sound, Yu Yifeng slammed his palm on the table, "Then, starting tomorrow, the Noah Project will be officially launched."

"Project duration: five months!"
