Chapter 291: Death
Liu Shengzhan narrowed his eyes, and the guard's memory in the depths of his mind was gradually evoked. He interrupted with a smile:
"Yeah, that's right. I remember this. Let me test you. As the first person to land on the moon, what was the first thing Li Jian, a space soldier, said when he landed?"
"Reporting to the headquarters, I have successfully exited the cabin and am in good condition!"
The guard blurted out without any hesitation.
"Hahaha, that's what I said. Let me tell you some private information. This guy was not scheduled to be the first to land on the moon at that time."
"what?"
Liu Shengzhan was very satisfied with the surprised look of the young guard in front of him. Although these young people were now familiar with all the public information of the Space Force, he could calm them down by just revealing some harmless internal news.
"Hey, guess who was originally assigned to the mission? Let me reveal that this person was on our meritorious rocket, Xingyun-1, that we traveled to the moon with."
The guard was obviously a very good person to talk to. After listening, he instantly recalled the names of the three astronauts in the documentary.
He Guozhang, Li Jian, and Shi Xianliang, who is still in service and has been promoted to major general of the Space Force. He is now in charge of the garrison and defense of the Xuanwu Corps' base on Venus.
"Major General Shi?"
The guard hesitated for a while. The reason why he answered like this was mainly because among the three people, except Shi Xianliang, He Guozhang and Li Jian had both "died", and as a military man, he was naturally most impressed by Major General Shi who was still alive.
"Hey, I guessed wrong, it's Xiao He, you didn't expect that, did you?"
"what?"
When Liu Shengzhan heard the other party's surprise, a hint of pride could not help but spread across his old face.
"You may not believe it, but I can tell you that the Space Force had not yet been established. We only had one 'Space Force' under our military, and the concept was still relatively vague. Generally, we would select a very small number of top talents in various professional knowledge from all levels of the military to receive special training in space.
Among them, Xiao He, as an astronaut who has successfully carried out space missions many times, was naturally ranked first on the list of moon landing.
only.
Xiao He is great. After the final rankings were determined, he selflessly gave this opportunity of supreme honor to Li Jian. "
On the corridor of the space hub, an old man and a young man were walking slowly. Various people passing by them would stop and salute the old man solemnly when they saw him.
However, the old man was obviously lost in distant memories and did not notice the greetings from these people.
If at the beginning it was the guard who was talking about the contents of the documentary "History of the Development of the Space Force", now the topic is completely discussed by the old man himself in his memories.
"Commission"
The guard was suddenly stunned and then covered his mouth.
Then he handed the old man who was half of his body to Fan Ren who suddenly appeared in front of him, and to another person who looked strange to him but he seemed to have seen him somewhere.
Fan Ren supported Liu Shengzhan, and Li Jian did the same on the other side. Relying on the already not-so-conspicuous rotational gravity of the space hub, they almost lifted up the old man's entire body.
At this time, he was reluctant to let the old man carry any more weight on a body that could almost be blown away by a gust of wind.
"Afterwards, Xiao Li and Xiao Shi stayed on that uninhabited grey planet 300,000 kilometers away from Earth for a full six months. It was thanks to the perseverance of these two guys that our Guanghan Palace base took shape.
After that, Xiao Li was stationed at Guanghan Palace Base for another ten years. Under his management, Guanghan Palace Base operated for ten years without any safety accidents, and also went through the second phase of expansion. During this period, Guanghan Palace Base, which was originally thought to be in a period of chaos, was still well organized by him, and the entire production task was not delayed at all. "
Fan Ren and Li Jian supported the old man's fragile body to the lobby square at the end of the corridor, found a seat where the sunlight was shining in, and stopped.
They listened quietly to the old man's stories, which were also memories of their generation.
Before they knew it, the entire square, with this seat as the center, was already densely packed with space hub staff in various work clothes.
At this moment, these people looked at the three people sitting in front of them as if they were on pilgrimage.
One is the military soul of human civilization. Although he is old, he wears the marshal's uniform, which is the only one in the world, and he still gives the impression of being as tall as before.
The other was Fan Ren, the then Chairman of the Human Civilization Committee, who was well known to all mankind.
There is no need to elaborate on his experience.
The mere act of splitting up Xinghai Technology and converting it all into common assets of human civilization has completely won the respect of everyone.
However, the tall, muscular, black-faced man next to them was simply regarded as a bodyguard and was not recognized by the crowd.
This was mainly because Li Jian deliberately painted his face with black makeup in order to come to the solar system today to meet this old man who was extremely important to his life.
Fan Ren glanced at the growing crowd at the scene. He did not stop them, but quietly raised his index finger to his lips, made a gesture of silence, and then quietly stayed beside the old man.
Sometimes, he was also very annoyed. The leaders of this generation of Da Xia were very stubborn. No matter how he persuaded them, they refused to enter the hibernation chamber and prolong their lifespans by hibernation, which was a disguised way of prolonging life.
It seemed as if that was an extremely irresponsible choice for them.
In the past, the phrase that Fan Ren heard Ye Rongshan say the most was "Time, I don't have so much time to waste on that."
Today, this old man is still serving on the front line of the Space Force when his life is almost at the end.
Even though walking has become difficult, the old man still insists on taking turns on duty every day and "stays" in the command hall.
Thinking of this, his gaze couldn't help but turn to Li Jian who was standing next to the old man.
Strictly speaking, even Li Jian, who seems to be still in good physical condition, is 170 years old.
There were only 30 years left for him to die.
This brother who came from that era was also very stubborn. He scoffed at the idea of the hibernation chamber just like the old man.
Fan Ren was really helpless about this.
How much he wished that in his long life, he could have as many familiar people as possible to accompany him all the way.
