"Is this... our home planet?" Lu Xiao murmured softly, his voice trembling. He couldn't move his eyes away from the window, as if deeply attracted by the magnificent scene.
Wu Tong remained silent, staring at the Earth in silence. Her eyes flickered with a complex mix of emotions: shock, awe, and an indescribable sense of belonging.
Although she had imagined the scene at this moment through countless simulations and deductions, the mental shock still made her feel dazed when she was actually there.
The outline of the Earth was clearly visible, the azure ocean taking up most of the field of vision. White clouds covered the surface like a veil. Occasionally, the outline of land could be seen, and mountains and rivers were vaguely visible. Behind all this was the boundless starry sky, deep and silent, as if it could swallow everything.
"Only when you're there can you feel the vastness..." Wu Tong said softly, a hint of emotion in her tone. Her voice echoed in the silent cockpit, as if expressing an emotion that could not be fully expressed in words.
Lu Xiao nodded, his eyes still fixed on the window. "Yes, standing here, I truly understand how insignificant we are. The Earth is just a speck of dust in the universe, and we...are even more insignificant."
Wu Tong smiled slightly, a look of determination in his eyes: "But it is this very 'dust' that gave birth to countless lives, and also gave birth to us. And we, though insignificant, have the ability to explore this vast universe and pursue those unknown mysteries."
Lu Xiao turned his head and looked at Wu Tong, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Mr. Wu, you always see farther."
Wu Tong shook his head, a hint of humility in his tone: "No, I just believe that human potential is unlimited. As long as we dare to dream and dare to pursue, nothing is impossible."
Lu Xiao nodded vigorously. This is the instinct that humans have had since the origin of life!
The two men fell silent again, staring out the window. The light from Earth streamed into the cockpit through the portholes, illuminating their faces and casting a soft glow on them.
After a while, Wu Tong gently pressed the communication button and connected to the ground control center: "Ground, this is the space shuttle. We have successfully entered orbit and everything is normal."
Ground control immediately responded: "Roger that, Mr. Wu. We are monitoring flight data in real time. Please continue to maintain open communication."
"I understand." Wu Tong nodded, a hint of relief in his tone. "Also, please tell everyone that the Earth... is truly beautiful."
The ground control center was silent for a few seconds, and then the person in charge's voice, slightly choked with emotion, came: "Mr. Wu, we'll wait for you to come back and tell us more about it in person."
Wu Tong smiled slightly, a hint of warmth in his eyes: "Definitely."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Tong looked out the window again.
She knew that this flight was not only a technical test, but also a spiritual cleansing. In this vast universe, she felt the insignificance of human beings, but also felt the greatness of human beings.
"Lu Xiao," she suddenly spoke, a smile on her lips, her eyes filled with anticipation for the boundless starry sky, her tone tinged with anticipation, "Do you think that one day in the future, we will truly leave Earth and head for the more distant starry sky? Right?"
Without hesitation, Lu Xiao nodded firmly with a burning gaze, "Yes, Mr. Wu. The human race will never stop moving forward, and I will follow your research and development until the end of my life!"
He will accompany Mr. Wu until the end of his life. This is a lifelong promise!
Wu Tong smiled, a hint of longing in his eyes: "Yes, the road ahead is still long, but we are already on the way."
And she has never let down any opportunity in her life!
The space shuttle continued to fly smoothly in orbit, and the light of the earth and the darkness of the universe were intertwined, as if telling an eternal story about dreams and exploration.
In this vast starry sky, the figures of Wu Tong and Lu Xiao appear so small, yet so determined.
And their stories continue for a long, long time...
Throughout their lives, they have been moving forward towards this goal with determination, and miracles have continued to occur, time and time again, shocking the world. The Oriental Dragon has awakened, and is standing at the top of the East, overlooking the world!
