Chapter 74 Ocean Star
Before Zhou Cheng could finish his words, the first decision maker interrupted him.
Zhou Cheng was slightly stunned, then fell silent. After a moment, he nodded gently: "Okay, I won't go."
Liu Yu saw all this clearly.
Of course she understood why Zhou Cheng couldn't go.
Zhou Cheng was too crucial in the quest to understand this catastrophe and change the fate of civilization. Facing a possible threat from the Moon God or its affiliated forces, he was destined to remain within the confines of the World Government compound, under the strictest protection, unable to travel anywhere.
However, there are too few young people with a background in natural sciences who can be mobilized at this time. At the same time, this exploration team really needs someone who can understand the overall plan from a holistic perspective, step forward, and personally participate in this exploration mission, taking on the responsibility of overall planning.
Zhou Cheng is the most suitable candidate.
Since Zhou Cheng can't go, then I... am the second most suitable candidate.
Liu Yu stood up, looked at the first decision maker, and then looked at Zhou Cheng: "I can go."
Zhou Cheng's pupils suddenly constricted, and he shook his head subconsciously: "This is too dangerous, you don't..."
Liu Yu looked at him with a smile. Under Liu Yu's gentle gaze, Zhou Cheng stopped talking silently before he finished speaking.
After a pause, Zhou Cheng sighed softly: "Okay, go."
The first decision maker said calmly: "You can go."
In order to find out the answers to the two questions raised by Zhou Cheng, the World Government organized a total of six scientific expedition teams, and it took a month to prepare all the elements including personnel and materials.
A month later, Liu Yu, wearing a neat outdoor outfit, carrying a backpack and pulling a suitcase, walked slowly to the bottom of the World Government Building with Zhou Cheng.
"Okay, that's it. Let's go back."
Liu Yu stopped, put down the suitcase, walked to Zhou Cheng, carefully straightened his collar, and gently stroked Zhou Cheng's face.
Zhou Cheng raised his arms and hugged Liu Yu tightly in his arms.
"Be careful, be very careful."
"Don't worry, it's okay, just wait for me to come back. While I'm away, remember to eat on time, don't stay up late, and go to bed early..."
After hugging for a while, Liu Yu pushed Zhou Cheng away, a smile on her face again: "Okay, okay, time is almost up, I have to go, goodbye."
After waving his hand, Liu Yu walked out of the gate of the World Government as if he was going out for a trip, and got into the car with ease.
As soon as she got in the car, the smile on Liu Yu's face suddenly disappeared. She leaned against the window, staring at Zhou Cheng not far away, and kept muttering the same words: "I will be back, wait for me to come back..."
World Government Building, behind a window somewhere.
The first decision maker who saw this scene shook his head slightly and returned to his desk.
There are still too many things that seem trivial in the heyday of human civilization, but are extremely important things that need him to deal with at this moment in its twilight years.
The car drove forward and soon covered hundreds of kilometers before finally arriving at a port.
There are many cars and many people at the port, and vehicles are still coming from all directions. Then more or less elderly people and a few young people get off the cars and gather in the team.
At the end of the team was an extremely large ship.
It was over a hundred meters long, dozens of meters wide, and weighed over ten thousand tons. It sat quietly at the berth, like a giant sea beast. Just by looking at it, one could feel its immense pressure.
This is the Ocean Star research vessel, the carrier of the two most risky and important scientific expeditions that Liu Yu will participate in.
Two of the six scientific expedition teams, as well as the corresponding crew members, logistics personnel, etc., totaling more than 300 people will embark on a polar journey on this ship.
It will depart from Asia and travel southwards. During its journey, it will continuously collect samples, measure the content of microplastics, background radiation, and radioisotopes in different sea areas, and conduct research on the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere.
After traveling a distance of more than 10,000 kilometers and finally reaching Antarctica, the polar scientific expedition team will land in Antarctica and search for ice sheets that meet the standards in different places, drill ice cores, and study the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere during the feudal era.
In one day, a total of more than 300 people from all over the world were in place.
In the research vessel's restaurant, a general meeting was held when all staff gathered for dinner.
An old man with sparse hair, a red nose and a protruding belly walked up to the front desk.
He held a small old-fashioned iron kettle in his hand, and from time to time he unscrewed the lid and put it in his mouth to take a sip.
When walking past Liu Yu, Liu Yu smelled a faint smell of alcohol.
"He is our captain? Why is he a drunkard?"
Next to Liu Yu, a young woman muttered softly, "Are you sure you're hiring a drunkard as captain?"
Liu Yu looked at her. She smiled and extended her hand to him. "I'm Feng Xiao, majoring in organic chemistry. I'm currently assigned to the marine science expedition team. Nice to meet you."
There are more than 300 people on the entire Ocean Star research vessel, only 19 of whom are young people and only 8 are women.
Liu Yu also extended his hand: "I am Liu Yu, majoring in astrophysics, deputy captain."
Feng Xiao was surprised: "Wow, you are Liu Yu? I've heard of you."
Several young people nearby also came over and introduced themselves, and they quickly became familiar with each other.
On the rostrum, the old man with a red nose coughed lightly and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Sun Jianping, the captain of this ship. For the next few months, I'll be the highest leader of this ship."
I know that everyone has important scientific research tasks, but I still require everyone to obey my orders as long as they are on board.
On land, disobeying orders might only result in dismissal, but at sea, disobeying orders could result in death.
Okay, I've finished talking, let's eat."
Sun Jianping unscrewed the lid of the small iron kettle, took a sip, and walked down from the podium.
Feng Xiao rolled his eyes and muttered a few complaints to Liu Yu.
After a night's rest, early the next morning, accompanied by a loud whistle, the huge ship slowly moved away from the port and entered the vast ocean.
After driving for about a day and covering hundreds of kilometers, the first scientific expedition mission began.
In this sea area, people released dozens of buoys and some scientific research equipment, and collected some surface and deep sea water.
With the arrival of the first batch of specimens and data, the scientists on board began to get busy.
