Chapter 44: Goodbye, Mother

Oliver woke up leisurely and reacted suddenly, what happened, how did he fall asleep? He instantly felt the wine woke up in general, a big jump.

How about the spaceship, the space program was successful?

Oh ... seems to be successful?! Fell asleep only after the success?

A scene in his mind began to replay, from the nuclear bomb explosion, to the successful takeoff of the spacecraft. When he thought of this, his heart beat faster, his blood circulation accelerated, and he had a feeling of feverishness. He rubbed his dizzy temples, and after a long time, he still felt that strong joy.

"Uh ... how long have I been sleeping?" The others in the captain's room had gone out, leaving only his own assistant, Yuriko, who was still working on the paperwork.

"Three hours, Mr. Yu, there are some papers here for you to handle." Yuriko's million year old face seemed to have some smiles on it.

This girl was somewhat naturally dull, working blindfolded all day and night, not very good at expressing emotions. It was reasonable to say that deep inside her heart, she should also be joyful.

But seeing that she was still working and he was asleep, Oliver couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. He smiled and said, "Okay, put it there, I'll take care of it. Everyone has the day off today, so you go back early and get some rest, and don't miss the party at noon, there will be lots of fresh ingredients put out."

Yuriko was dumbfounded and instinctively did not want to go, she never liked this kind of socializing and so on, but then thought about it and followed Oliver.

It was just after eleven o'clock and a big party was going on. This party is not officially organized, it is spontaneous, somewhat similar to the Earth Alliance's temple fair, and somewhat similar to the food festival, noisy and lively. Some proficient cooks brought their pots and pans to the battlefield and came up with their highest level.

Baked bread, French fries, grilled sausages, buns, skewered greens ... all kinds of food, all kinds of food, or free.

People can enjoy tasting in front of each stall. Some people tasted, feel that the other side of the burned bad, but also can personally on. Of course, the source of food is still provided by the government, everything is free.

Oliver ate a pair of chicken wings, two buns, and a skewer of roasted bok choy, with his mouth full of oil and joy. Many people were so engrossed in their own world that they didn't even care that Oliver was walking by on the side. He also does not care, he is now nothing official frame, with the people, meet familiar, say hello, meet unfamiliar also smile and nod.

When he looked back, he suddenly realized that Yuriko had lost her. He searched for a while before he found her holding a basin full of French fries, with some happiness on her face. She seemed to notice that Oliver was looking at himself and suddenly paused for a moment, two big eyes showing a kind of embarrassed look.

It seems to be the first time I've seen this kind of expression ...

"Hey, captain, you're here too?" Suddenly came a familiar voice, Oliver turned around and saw that it was three members of the special forces, Wade, James, and Solomon.

It is also true that people nowadays usually call him Captain, only the members of the special forces can not yet change their words and keep calling him Captain.

Now only Wade saw him, smiled and greeted him, James and Solomon two are facing a booth, one took a chicken leg gnawing wildly, mouth while eating, but also waiting for a roast chicken out of the oven, really greedy ah.

"James? You're getting fat again!" Oliver walked up, slapped James' shoulder, and habitually threatened.

In fact, the black fat James has lost a lot of weight during this period of time, should be more tonic.

"Ah? Captain?" James was startled, instantly conditioned reflex like standing upright, but the hands of the chicken leg messing around, ultimately do not know where to put, after a long time to react, the captain was teasing him.

James scratched his head in embarrassment, a black face became pig liver color, loud voice yelled, "Captain you screwed me again!"

"Hahahaha!" The group burst out laughing.

A few people chatted for a while, looking at the endless flow of people. oliver could not help but feel some emotion, now the human race, although only a little more than 50,000 people, but the high level, high quality, throughout history, may be the strongest cohesion of the time.

At the beginning, there were still cases of white people discriminating against black people, and Earth Alliance people and islanders hating each other, but gradually by now, this phenomenon has become less and less. Everything in the past has been destroyed, what country ah, nation ah, history is not very important, some people still maintain some habits of the nation, but only habits.

The quality of people in the moon base are very high, no fools and no fools, even a miner is at least a master's degree, the only difference is that the color is different, different birth or different countries. When these things are put aside, and past history is put aside, who is to despise and discriminate against others?

Besides, all people have struggled hard for six months, experienced the agricultural transformation program, Noah plan two big battles, a moment, the spirit of unity and the spirit of struggle will not disappear.

Looking at the scene of people coming and going, happy, Oliver began to think about what to do next.

He was certainly happy to see this attitude and optimism in the people. What he wanted was to keep this spiritual attitude going.

The starry sky is vast, and there is bound to be one tough war after another to fight, and the only way for humans to find their way is to rely on such a tenacious spirit.

However, it is not easy to maintain such a spirit. People are easy to lazy down, a lazy down it is difficult to restore diligence, unless again encountered a life and death crisis ... people are easy to decay, do not look at only 50,000 people now, political clarity, but in the future, does it all rely on their own strength to maintain? What about after his own death?

Earth Alliance five thousand years of history, which founding emperor does not want a rich country, but in the end, or a hundred years to change dynasties. There are many reasons for this, including institutional reasons, government corruption and so on.

All kinds of fallen corrupt officials, at the time, who did not want to be a clean official? But in the end, they fell for various reasons.

We, human beings, cannot repeat the history of the past.

In order to solve these intricate problems at once, in order to keep the human race fighting forever, Oliver has thought of a series of methods, ready to gradually achieve in the following period of time ...

"Look, it's Earth!" A scream pulled him out of his thoughts.

The speed of the spaceship was fast, just over three hours in total, and it had already flown out 363,000 kilometers, when, because of the line of sight, people finally saw the longed-for Earth.

More and more people crowded towards the observation room. Outside the ship is no gravity, a run out of the whole person floated, very inconvenient movement, but also in the observation room, there is air, and radiation-proof glass, not wearing a spacesuit also does not matter.

What kind of a planet is this!

Where is the blue gem-like planet, where is the deep blue?

All one can see is a fragmented planet filled with a hazy gray fog. There is no life, no blue, and no green.

Although the Earth had long been seen in photographs, seeing it with one's own eyes and seeing it in photographs were two completely different concepts. People began to feel a little disappointed, and the excitement disappeared.

This is the Earth, the planet in tatters, the mother of mankind, and she is just like that, dead. This is also the burial place of seven billion people.

People suddenly fell silent and just watched, watched ...

The original blue, there is no more, only a, ruins.

Everyone's heart is so sad and godly that they can't even resist starting to wipe away their tears. The whole observation room is silent, so much so that the back of the people rushed in, and then instantly infected by this mournful emotions.

...

O Mother, we have gone away.

We are gone in such a wretched manner.

We saw you.

We saw you fall into the ruins.

Desperate and bewildered ...

You were once full of youth and vitality.

The blue sky and white clouds can't describe you.

The blue sky and white clouds can't describe you, and the lake and the sea can't represent the depth of you.

But ah, that has passed.

You have passed away.

You just fell into the ruins ...

We, who no longer have a mother.

The universe alone.

O dark universe.

We have no more relatives.

We will never see again

That blue color.

We are your last children.

And your last pride ...

Mother, we're leaving.

We will fly to the distant sky.

Maybe we'll come back.

Maybe we'll never come back ...
