Song Ci personally sent Han Zhan to the base, and she was the only one who accompanied him.
The R&D base was built on the south bank of the Wangdongcheng New Development Zone, while the launch base was chosen to be located in Wanyu County. Its sparsely populated area and proximity to the sea facilitated the separation of the booster from the escape tower.
Today, everyone at the launch base looked solemn. When Song Ci and Han Zhan arrived, everyone stood up and shouted, "Mr. Han, Madam, you're here."
Han Zhan nodded and asked a staff member, "Where is Chen Gang?"
Chen Gang is the chief engineer of the Zeus spacecraft. Han Zhan also worked with Chen Gang during the last launch of Aoyu-1.
The staff member said, "Captain Chen is changing his clothes."
"good."
Han Zhan took Song Ci to the locker room.
The locker room was spotless, with several sets of space suits hanging inside, all of which were specially customized according to the height and body shape of the astronauts and Han Zhan.
This space suit alone is not cheap, costing millions. This is just an indoor space suit. When you need to go out into space, you will need to change into an outdoor space suit with more complex workmanship and design.
Han Zhan was tall to begin with, and after putting on the space suit, he looked even taller and stronger.
Song Ci stood on tiptoe, held Han Zhan's cheek, and touched her eyebrows to his, cherishing every remaining moment.
Han Zhan hugged her and said, "Cibao, your heart is beating so fast."
Song Ci admitted honestly: "Han Zhan, I'm afraid."
Han Zhan hugged Song Ci tighter. "When I come back, I'll spend the New Year with you."
"...good!"
When they parted, Song Ci and Han Zhan kissed each other passionately.
After saying goodbye, Han Zhan, Chen Gang, and the astronauts entered Zeus 1. The images of the four people in Zeus 1 were transmitted to the staff's computer screens through the monitor.
Song Ci saw Han Zhan and others fastened their seat belts. As the countdown approached, Song Ci's heartbeat became faster and faster, adrenaline surged in his body, and he felt his hands and feet start to feel hot and weak.
"ten,"
"Nine,"
"eight"
...
"three,"
"two,"
"one,"
"ignition!"
"take off!"
Accompanied by a rumbling sound, streams of orange-red flames spurted out from the tail of the rocket, pushing Zeus 1 rapidly towards the sky.
Song Ci noticed that Han Zhan and the others were shaking, and it took them a while to adapt.
After reaching the predetermined orbital altitude, the first-stage rocket successfully separated and fell into a sparsely populated mountainous area.
A staff member said to Song Ci, "This is Mr. Han's second time participating in a flight. Madam, you can rest assured that our spacecraft is safe and our astronauts are absolutely excellent. They will return safely!"
The staff's words comforted both Song Ci and himself.
Song Ci nodded, still worried.
The next day, Song Ci returned home. Facing the two hungry little cubs and their longing eyes, Song Ci felt sad.
"Dad..." Han Jun was asking his father why he didn't come back with Song Ci.
Song Ci sat between Han Miao and Han Jun, pointed at the sky above, and asked them, "Miaomiao, Junjun, do you like the moon?"
Han Miao pointed at the moon in the sky and said, "Moon Ba."
Han Jun said: "Light bulb!"
Han Jun always thought that the moon was a light bulb, a tool hung in the sky to light up the night.
Song Ci told them: "The moon is a star. Dad recently flew to the sky on a plane to help you pick stars."
"When Dad comes back, I will give each of you a star, the most unique star in the world."
Han Miao and Han Jun didn't understand anything else, they just knew that their father was going to pick stars.
Han Miao patted his feet happily and shouted, "Stars! I want stars!" Han Jun looked up at the moon in the sky, and no one knew what life principles he was thinking about.
Song Ci suffered every day when Han Zhan was away. She didn't even have the mood to go shopping or attend parties. Even when she was practicing the piano, she couldn't concentrate.
On this day, Shen Yubei came to the Han family manor.
When he got off the car, he heard Song Ci's disturbed piano music and couldn't help but frown. Shen Yubei came to the piano room under the guidance of the housekeeper.
Song Ci stood in the piano room, holding the violin, and no one knew what he was playing. The sound was harsh and chaotic.
"My heart is in turmoil, why should I play the piano?"
Hearing the teacher's voice, Song Ci came back to her senses, hurriedly put down the violin in her hand, and turned to look at Shen Yubei. "Teacher, why are you here today?"
Shen Yubei said: “Come and see your children.”
Song Ci put down the violin and pulled Shen Yubei into the piano room.
There were no chairs in the piano room, so the two of them sat on the clean floor.
Song Ci hadn't visited Shen Yubei for a while, and didn't know what the situation was like for Master's Wife and the child. She smiled and said to Shen Yubei, "How is Master's Wife doing lately? It should be time for a 4D scan, haven't you done it yet?"
Shen Yubei, however, had a sullen face and remained silent.
Seeing this, Song Ci couldn't help feeling uneasy.
"Teacher, what happened? Tell me." Shen Yubei's sad expression scared Song Ci a little.
Shen Yubei was silent for a long time before he said in a muffled voice: “We had a four-dimensional color ultrasound last week, and the results were not very ideal.”
"What's the problem?"
"The child's left hand is deformed, with only two fingers. The other three fingers are invisible. The doctor said that even if the child is born later, there will be no way to perform separation surgery."
