"Where are you from?"

"Hubei Province."

"Hubei Province? Isn't that the same hometown as Academician Lu? ”

"No, he's from Jiangling, I'm from Jiangcheng, it's still a bit far away."

"Jiang Cheng, ah......" A trace of memory appeared in his eyes, and Liang Youcheng, who was sitting in the cabin seat, said with a little nostalgia, "I remember that the hot dry noodles there are very delicious." ”

Han Kangyu thought about it and said casually without any change in expression.

"Generally speaking, I still prefer to eat tofu skin."

Sixteen days had passed since the departure of the Xu Fu, and after more than two weeks of sailing, they were getting closer and closer to their destination.

At the same time, this means that the distance between them and their hometown is getting farther and farther away.

In the past two days, most of the topics they chatted about couldn't avoid all kinds of things in their hometowns.

Liang Youcheng never thought that he would miss his hometown so much.

When he was on Earth, he didn't even think about many things. It wasn't until the moment when Xu Fu completely got rid of the gravitational shackles of the Earth-Moon system that he suddenly realized that there were many things he hadn't had time to do, and that he was so happy to live on Earth.

At this time, there was a sound of spitting next to me.

"What is tofu skin? Is it tasty? ”

The person who said this, his name is Fan Tong, although the name is easy to misunderstand, but to be able to sit on this colonial ship, he obviously cannot be a real "rice bucket".

As a Ph.D. in planetary geology from the Institute of Astronautics and Astronautics of Jinling University, his supervisor's research on planetary geology can be said to be one of the best at home and abroad.

Like another Ph.D. in bioengineering named Ming Wenzhe, they were all temporarily advanced from the second batch to the first crew to board the ship because of their outstanding performance in training. Because there was no closed training in Biosphere A, the two men and the other three crew members had only recently met and were not very familiar.

After glancing at him, Han Kangyu's eyes fell into memory, and after about three or five seconds, he slowly spoke.

"Cut and fry the spiced dried seeds, bamboo shoots, lean meat, and dried shiitake mushrooms into cubes, then sprinkle them on the egg skin covered with a layer of glutinous rice, brush with a layer of vegetable oil, and fry them over high heat until golden brown. When you bite into it, it is crispy on one side, soft and glutinous on the other, and the mouth is full of fragrance...... It's a feature of Jiangcheng early. ”

It's not just one person who swallows the saliva this time.

Including the captain Liang Youcheng, the Adam's apple of the four people couldn't help but move up and down.

In the past few days, they have basically eaten liquid food, and although it does not taste unpleasant, it always feels a little worse than the cooked food on earth.

Speaking of this, there was a pause for a moment, and Han Kangyu sighed and said.

"Hey, I'm hungry."

"Then don't say it," Ming Wenzhe, who had not spoken, immediately interrupted him, "I'm hungry when I hear what you say." ”

Fan Tong also nodded quickly, although the topic was obviously provoked by him.

Smiling slightly apologetically, Han Kangyu closed his mouth and ended the topic.

At this point, he also began to realize what an unwise decision it was to stir up this topic. This is space, and it is the kind that is tens of millions of kilometers away from the earth, and liquid food is a kind of torture for promotion, but now that you want to compare, it is even more difficult to swallow.

"The southernmost place I've been to in my life is almost Hubei Province," Liang Youcheng, who looked at a deep and dark starry sky outside the porthole, was reminded of the food, and said with some emotion, "I didn't expect that this time I would go out of the house and be so far away." ”

This sentence silenced many people.

For a moment, the entire cabin fell silent.

"It's about an hour away," stood up from the space chair, glanced at Liang Youcheng, who was carrying the computer on his wrist, carefully moved his stiff limbs, and then looked at his deputy Han Kangyu, "I'll go to the cab and stay." ”

"Need my help?"

"No, I can handle it alone, you can just do whatever you want."

Hearing what the captain said, Han Kangyu nodded and didn't follow.

Because of its single function and the fact that it does not need to engage in other complex space activities, the Xufu has a very high degree of automation, and a series of tasks from takeoff to landing can be completed by AI.

Most of the time, sitting in the cockpit is just staring out the window at the same scenery and beware of almost impossible accidents, so it is the same whether one person or two people are left in the cockpit.

Everyone in the cabin tacitly returned to their seats, sat down, and fastened their seat belts.

After waiting quietly in silence for about twenty minutes, as a slight sense of migration came from the back, the dark deep air outside the porthole finally had a touch of color that I had never seen before.

It was a scarlet glow.

Its surface exuded a cloudy luster, like a grayed agate jade, left alone in the corner of the warehouse.

"What a beautiful ......"

"yes, it's beautiful...... I heard that billions of years ago, the ecosystem there was more lush than on Earth, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"There is no truth or falsehood, it is just a conjecture," Fan Tong interjected, referring to his own specialty, "What the specific situation looks like depends on whether we can dig up enough fossils from the strata formed billions of years ago to prove this." ”

While the astronauts in the cabin were chatting, the outline of the scarlet in the distance gradually became clear.

Although its volume is still a little thinner compared to the earth, compared to the mayfly-like Xu Fu, it is still so shocking to stand in deep space.

Just then, the cockpit door opened.

Liang Youcheng, who had already changed into a spacesuit in the cabin, walked out of it with a pitch-black tablet in his hand.

"There is still half an hour to change orbit and enter the orbit around Mars."

"Communication resources are precious, everyone only has time for a sentence, and they can say anything casually, whether it is for relatives or friends...... Who comes first? ”

The people in the cabin exchanged glances, and no one was embarrassed to come first.

Seeing that no one stretched out his hand, Fan Tong whispered.

"Do you want to draw lots?"

"Where can I find something to draw lots here, or ...... Or by age, right? Start with the oldest. ”

"Okay, okay, don't be humble, we're just afraid we'll all be soaked in the sand." Looking at the way his teammates were grinding, Liang Youcheng couldn't stand it anymore, and reached out to enter the password on the tablet, "If no one raises their hand, then I'll come first, whoever wants to be the next one is casual, it doesn't matter if you don't have anything to say." ”

The captain came first, and naturally no one would have an opinion.

A pair of eyes all fell on Liang Youcheng's body.

Everyone was quietly waiting for him to speak, and the news of the thoughts and victories from tens of millions of kilometers away was transmitted back to the blue home star.

Feeling the weight of responsibility and knowing how important the significance of this moment is, Liang Youcheng was silent for a long time in front of the tablet.

At this moment, he obviously has a lot to say, but at this moment, he can't say a word.

Took a deep breath.

Having finally made his decision, he pressed the button to start recording.

Then, he spoke.

"Mom, Dad...... We arrived safely. ”
