Chapter 98 Ascension Plan
Chapter 98 Ascension Plan
Just before she went to heaven, Yang Die received her last phone call, from Jiang Yuan.
The boy stayed with him for more than three months. They would chat briefly every day, and even during the most intense battles, he would always manage to get a cell phone and call.
If you really want to know what the two of them talked about every day, if you think about it carefully, it seems like they never specifically talked about any particular topic.
Most of them are daily sharing, and some are mutual complaints.
But after three months of settling in, this feeling has quietly become a habit.
After the call connected, Yang Die said impatiently, "Xiao Yuan, we're on our way to Jiuquan and are expected to take off this afternoon."
Jiang Yuan said excitedly, "That's great, this way you can get out of the major regression first."
After saying that, Jiang Yuan suddenly didn't know what else to say.
Yang Die fell silent on the other end of the phone.
It is now common knowledge that once you are 1000 kilometers away from the Earth's surface, you are no longer affected by time reversal.
The 100 astronauts who took off this time can be considered the first time that humans have escaped Earth.
As for its future fate?
No one can guarantee that!
After a long silence, Yang Die suddenly choked up and asked, "Jiang Yuan, did you come to say goodbye?"
"What are you saying?" Jiang Yuan quickly raised his voice, flustered, "Ah Die, I'll always be here, how can this be goodbye!"
"But my parents both told me to take good care of myself in heaven..." Yang Die continued, her voice choked with sobs.
"They're right, you really need to take good care of yourself!"
Jiang Yuan steadied himself, realizing that what he had just said was ambiguous, but the other party didn't seem to have noticed, so he quickly continued:
"Don't overthink it. You'll live a wonderful life, and we'll always see you on Earth. Besides, in the end, we might need you to save us; you'll become a heroine."
Upon hearing the words "heroine," Yang Die burst into laughter through her tears.
The two had talked about this topic before, and Jiang Yuan would sometimes jokingly call himself a savior, which would make him laugh out loud.
But after laughing, I felt a little sad after hearing this.
There were some insider details that Yang Die never told Jiang Yuan.
Of the 50 Chinese astronauts who went into space this time, the male-to-female ratio was 2:3, and the same was true for foreign astronauts, where there were more women than men.
The implications of this had already been explained to us in advance by our ideological education teacher.
If things are truly beyond our control, then the continuation of the family line must be our top priority.
In addition to the manned rocket, hundreds of supply rockets were also launched. These supplies included energy and daily necessities, as well as many different types of embryos, some human and some other animals.
"Xiao Yuan, I like you!" Yang Die suddenly said, her voice clear and bright.
"What?" Jiang Yuan heard it clearly, his heart pounding wildly, but he still couldn't believe it and asked again.
"I like you, Jiang Yuan," Yang Die said again, her voice full of anticipation.
"Yang Die, I like you too!" Jiang Yuan replied earnestly, his eyes welling up with tears after he finished speaking.
Inside the Jiang family's living room in Sanmiao Village, Jiang Hua and Li Xiuyun, who were originally sitting in front of the television waiting to watch the live broadcast, exchanged a glance upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, their eyes revealing a sense of helplessness and regret.
……
On the chartered plane bound for Jiuquan, the other astronauts were also making their final calls to their families.
After hanging up Principal Han's call, Yang Haoran saw his cousin Yang Die looking lost in thought. He wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
"What a guy who values women more than friends..."
Yang Die and Jiang Yuan contacted each other every day, and he knew that. He also often received greetings from Jiang Yuan, but today, the other party had forgotten about her.
"But this is probably the first time the two of them have truly opened up to each other! Sigh..."
Thinking of this, Yang Haoran suddenly felt a pang of sadness, thinking to himself, "What a silly sister! You think Jiang Yuan doesn't know our mission? He does know. The reason he hasn't confessed is because he's too afraid. Now look what's happened, you've confessed first. These days are going to be tough..."
Just then, Yang Haoran felt his phone vibrate. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Jiang Yuan.
"Haoran, it's already a blessing that we met again. Let's put the big picture first and take good care of Adie for me in the future."
"cut……"
The message was very short, and it seemed that the other party didn't know what to say either.
After reading it, Yang Haoran couldn't bring himself to utter a sound of disdain. He thought to himself, "Do I need you to remind me? This is my cousin; I'll definitely take care of her. But you, why are you suddenly so serious..."
After thinking for a moment, Yang Haoran slowly deleted the message he had just typed and simply replied, "Received!"
However, just a few seconds after sending the message, Jiang Yuan sent another message.
"Haoran, if another Yang Die were to appear on Earth, do you think I could go after her?"
"..."
Upon seeing this message, Yang Haoran gritted his teeth and couldn't resist showing it to Yang Die.
But when he turned around and saw Yang Die staring blankly into space, he awkwardly snapped out of his reverie.
"Damn it, I should have known better than to introduce you two..."
Yang Haoran thought to himself, feeling a real headache coming on.
The word "refresh" that Jiang Yuan just mentioned was known to everyone on the plane about to take off, including Yang Die.
"This silly girl really got fooled by that blond guy..."
"Yay yay..."
After sulking for a while, Yang Haoran suddenly burst into laughter.
He thought to himself, "If another Yang Haoran really appeared on Earth, that would be good. That way, he could fulfill his filial duties in my place and live a different life. But would he listen to me? Who's the boss, and who's the second-in-command...?"
……
The launch of hundreds of rockets around the world is bound to attract global attention.
And that is indeed the case!
On Awareness Day, July 18, all television stations and online live streaming platforms around the world broadcast this event live.
Midnight:
On this day, humanity launched its first and largest-ever global joint ascent program.
Hundreds of astronauts from different countries are currently lying atop launch towers across continents around the world, awaiting the final command to ascend into this time prison.
Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, China.
In the vast Gobi Desert, the night was as dark as ink, but the launch site was illuminated as if it were daytime. The Long March 5 heavy-lift carrier rocket was entirely silver-white, gleaming coldly under the searchlights, with the bright red five-star flag on its body standing out prominently.
Inside the fairing, ten Chinese astronauts, dressed in new-generation lightweight intravehicular activity suits, appeared calm.
The launch pad beneath their feet is the largest manned launch site in Asia.
In the distance, at workstations 921 and 9401, as well as the LA-95 and LA120 launch pads, four heavy-lift launch vehicles are each poised for launch.
「5、4、3、2、1,点火!」
Commander No. 0's command pierced the silence of the Gobi Desert.
The eight main engines of the first rocket simultaneously spewed out bright orange flames, and the high temperature instantly turned thousands of tons of cooling water under the launch pad into white steam, which then spread out in a surging manner.
The rocket roared into the sky, the ground trembling slightly, and its exhaust illuminated half the night sky.
Then came the second and the third, trailing long streaks of light, like a sharp sword piercing through chaos in the reversed flow of Earth's time, rushing vertically upwards towards that space where time was normal.
