In the year 2050 AD, the sun is affected by an unknown influence, and a helium flash is imminent!
Is Earth in danger?
It doesn't matter, I'll make a move!
The Trisolaran s...
The capital city.
The office of the Speaker of Parliament.
When he saw Xuan Nu No. 1 pierce the sky, Councilor Li showed a relieved smile.
It was a success!
"Ring ring..."
A piercing ringing sound came from the side.
Representative Lee frowned subconsciously.
He had postponed everything for the test flight of Xuan Nu No. 1, so why was he receiving a phone call?
As he thought about it, Representative Lee reached for the receiver on the landline phone on his desk.
"Speaker, I am Cao Liangcai!"
Upon hearing the voice on the microphone, Councilor Li's expression immediately relaxed, and he said with a smile, "Academician Cao, I've already seen the footage of Xuan Nu-1 taking off!"
“…Speaker, that’s not what I wanted to talk about.” Cao Liangcai swallowed slightly. “Speaker, you need to be prepared.”
Councilor Li frowned, his expression turning serious: "What? Is there a problem with Xuan Nu No. 1?"
"Number One Xuan Nu is fine..."
Cao Liangcai muttered to himself, "The problem lies with Professor Lü Yongchang."
Representative Lee: "???"
"What do you mean? What happened to Professor Lü again?"
As soon as he said it, Representative Lee paused in surprise.
Why did he say "again"?
"...Professor Lü went up with the Mysterious Maiden No. 1."
The moment Cao Liangcai's voice came through the microphone, Councilor Li felt a wave of dizziness.
What the heck?!
"Say that again?! What's wrong with Professor Lü?!"
Representative Li slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and shouted into the microphone with an anxious expression!
Cao Liangcai sighed deeply: "Speaker, it was my fault."
"I heard him say a few days ago that he wanted to go to space to see things, but I didn't pay much attention at the time, and then..."
Representative Li reached up and covered his forehead: "No, no, no, it's not your fault, that brat really is..."
"How is Professor Lü doing now? How safe is Xuan Nu No. 1?"
"Fine, I'll come over to your place!"
Cao Liangcai was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, the phone was hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Representative Li pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone again and dialed a number.
"Qiming, come to me! And be quick!"
Hong Qiming was slightly taken aback when he received the call from the councilor. Although he didn't know what had happened, he immediately replied, "Okay!"
"I'm nearby right now, I'll be there in about five minutes!"
Five minutes later.
"What?! Lü Yongchang went up with the Xuan Nu No. 1?!"
From inside the councilor's office came Hung Chi-ming's horrified shouts.
"This brat... has he gone mad?" Hong Qiming gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "This is a test flight, what if something goes wrong..."
The councilor shook his head with a wry smile: "I heard from Cao Liangcai that this kid seems to have brought an escape kit with him."
"Not only that, this kid can even put on his flight suit and fasten his seatbelt himself!"
Hong Qiming was stunned.
"So... this kid planned this all along?"
As the councilor reached for his coat on the chair, he said, "Alright, enough with the nonsense. Contact the helicopter; we're heading to the aerospace research institute now!"
...
"Mystic Maiden Number One, report your situation!"
Cao Liangcai's voice sounded somewhat relaxed.
Since it has reached geostationary orbit, it means that the spaceplane is of good quality.
Soon, Bai Yixuan's report was transmitted to everyone's ears via radio.
"Xuan Nu No. 1 is operating well!"
"The driver is in good health!"
After a moment of silence, Bai Yixuan added, "Professor Lü is in good health!"
"We can return at any time!"
Cao Liangcai breathed a sigh of relief again, then turned his questioning gaze to the council chairman beside him: "Councilor Li, what's next..."
Representative Li frowned slightly, then calmly reached out and took the wireless telephone receiver from Cao Liangcai's hand.
"Cough cough!"
"Lu Yongchang, I am the Speaker of the Legislative Council!"
Can you hear me?
...
Geosynchronous orbit.
A jet-black plane with a trail of eerie blue flames slowly flew by.
Lu Yongchang sat stiffly in the passenger seat of Xuan Nu No. 1, his lips twitching slightly.
"Cough cough... I can hear you, I can hear you."
"Speaker, what brings you to the research institute?"
Hearing Lu Yongchang's cautious voice, Councilor Li snorted coldly in annoyance!
"snort!"
"Can I not come?"
"If I don't come back soon, are you planning to just go straight to the moon?"
Lü Yongchang chuckled awkwardly, "...It's not that bad."
"The Xuan Nu I spacecraft wasn't fully fueled, so it probably won't be able to come back once it reaches the moon."
Everyone inside the research institute: "..."
"Hey! This brat!" Hong Qiming glared at the radio device in front of him, his beard bristling. "What, is he really planning to go to the moon?!"
Unlike Hong Qiming's reaction, the councilor said in a gentle tone, "Yongchang, you can't just act so carelessly now that you're in a position of power!"
"You need to understand that as the director of the Xia Kingdom Space Agency, since you have set the development policy for Xia Kingdom in the next few years, you are responsible for the 1.4 billion people of Xia Kingdom. Do you understand?"
Lu Yongchang was silent for a moment, then his tone became more serious, and he said softly, "Speaker, I understand."
"The main reason I came up here this time is for my upcoming research project."
