Zhaicheng Space Center, rooftop lounge.

Zhang Zhai was half leaning on his seat, flipping through a pile of information in his hand.

"Wow..."

The sound of pages turning could be heard from time to time, and Zhang Zhai turned over the information in a leisurely manner.

"Father, the scheduled time for the Mars manned landing plan is coming soon." A1's voice sounded.

"Pap..."

Zhang Zhai's hand that turned the pages of the book paused slightly and put the information down again.

Without getting up immediately, Zhang Zhai looked at the system interface within his sight.

"Host: Zhang Zhai

Wisdom:251(260)

Popularity:414,574,415

Unlockable technologies: None

The technology that can be unlocked in the next stage: genetic optimization

Technologies that have been mastered: interactive holographic images, artificial intelligence, new energy reserves, three new materials, anti-gravity boxes, quantum supercomputers, short-distance space transmission technology, quantum communications, controllable nuclear fusion (residual), grand unified theory

A little inspiration.”

With the completion of the Earth and Fire node transmission system, the launch of new plans, and the impact of many previous plans, the popularity value has increased a lot again.

Zhang Zhai's eyes passed over the popularity value and continued downward.

"Gene optimization..." Zhang Zhai focused on the technology column that can be unlocked in the next stage and silently repeated it.

Genes contain the essential mysteries of life. Once genetic technology achieves a key breakthrough, it will bring about tremendous changes to the entire world.

Staring at the words 'gene optimization', Zhang Zhai squinted his eyes, thoughtfully.

After a long time, Zhang Zhai looked away from it and looked at the top of the system interface again.

"Four hundred million popularity..." Zhang Zhai glanced at the popularity value, and then looked at the wisdom value.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Zhai clicked four times on the '+' sign after the wisdom value.

"Wisdom value +1, popularity reduced by 90 million"

"Wisdom value +1, popularity decreases..."

"Wisdom value..."

Instantly, the wisdom value climbed to 255.

Zhang Zhai glanced at the remaining popularity.

Once we return to before liberation, the remaining popularity has basically been wiped out.

The next moment!

A cool and refreshing feeling surged into the brain, all kinds of emotions disappeared instantly, and the whole person became extremely calm.

All the fog in my mind seemed to suddenly dissipate, my thinking became unobstructed, ideas kept emerging, and my whole brain was extremely clear.

After a while, the short-term optimal state brought about by the increase in wisdom value disappears.

Zhang Zhai glanced at the system interface and closed it.

He stood up and walked straight out of the lounge.

…

Zhaicheng Space Center, ground control room.

As time gradually passed and the time for the spacecraft to take off was approaching, the atmosphere in the command room gradually became solemn.

Relevant ground personnel in each area gradually became more nervous and carried out the final preparations before the launch of Yanhuang and Zhurong in an orderly manner.

In front of the command room, Professor Hu and Academician Gan communicated in low voices from time to time.

"...It's really fast...The scene of the moon landing is still vivid in my mind, and the mission to land on the moon is about to begin." Professor Hu said with some emotion,

"This is the efficiency of Zhai Cheng Aerospace. Only with this kind of efficiency can it be possible to practice the long road to the starry sky." Academician Gan smiled and continued, then changed his tone and continued,

"Besides, I think this speed is too slow. I want to be able to see that Zhai Cheng Aerospace's footprints can at least spread throughout the entire solar system before it is buried."

"Then don't worry, you will definitely be able to see it. If you don't see it by then, at worst, we won't let you be buried in the ground. How about putting you in the command room?" Professor Hu joked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Academician Gan narrowed his eyes slightly and responded with a smile: "I think that's okay, then I can also watch Zhaicheng Aerospace continue to move forward on this road and continue to set foot in more distant deep space."

When Professor Hu heard this, the smile on his face faded a little. He was silent for a while, and then smiled again, "That makes sense. When the time comes, I will also place it next to you."

Time passes slowly,

Professor Hu and Academician Gan stopped chatting and began to preside over the final preparations before the manned landing.

"Attention from all departments and regions, there is a one-hour countdown to the planned launch of the manned launch!"

"The ground control room understands."

"The branch understands."

…

Zhaicheng Space Center.

After leaving the lounge, Zhang Zhai did not go to the command room, but walked straight towards the launch area in front of the rocket building.

within the launch area,

The Zhurong and Yanhuang were stationed steadily. The two huge spaceships stood in the launch area like two towering steel fortresses.

outside the launch area.

Relevant personnel involved in this manned landing on Mars are already in place, waiting for the moment to enter the cabin.

When Zhang Zhai appeared outside the launch area, a crowd of people immediately came to greet him.

"Mr. Zhang... Zhai Shen..."

Zhang Zhai smiled at the crowd, then stood and looked in the directional launch area.

At this moment, the setting sun is about to set, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the silver-white surfaces of the two anti-gravity spacecraft, reflecting a gleam of cold light.

Looking at the two spaceships shining in the afterglow, Zhang Zhai smiled slightly.

…

Time gradually passed, approaching the scheduled launch time of the spacecraft.

"Father, do all media outlets need to agree to interview applications for live broadcast of manned landings?" A1's voice sounded.

"Let's deal with it according to the previous rules." Zhang Zhai replied casually.

"Okay, Father."

Zhang Zhai nodded, looked away from the holographic screen, and looked at the researchers in front of him who were involved in landing on Mars.

In addition to Zhang Zhai, there are twenty researchers who will go to Mars.

Half of them were researchers who had previously participated in the first manned lunar landing, and the other half were also selected from the Lunar Palace branch.

Looking at all the researchers, who were either excited or excited, Zhang Zhai showed a smile on his face and picked up the communicator.

“Once upon a time, we launched the Houyi spacecraft here for the first time, which started our journey towards the stars.

Once upon a time, we launched the Yanhuang spacecraft here for the first time, starting our exploration of Mars.

Once upon a time, we were here too, boarding the Houyi, heading to the moon, and starting the lunar migration.

Once we built the Suiren, proposed a plan to build a galaxy network node transmission system, built an earth-fire node transmission system, and opened a new stage for the Zhaicheng Space Center..."

Zhang Zhai's voice sounded along with the communicator in the ground command room and in the sky above Zhai Cheng Aerospace.

The moment the sound rang out, the entire space center suddenly fell silent.

"But the road from infancy to the stars is long, and what we have accomplished is only the beginning.

We once said that we are pioneers, and we will overcome all obstacles and continue to advance towards deep space.

We, Zhaicheng Space Center, will never stop!

Even if this road is infinitely long, we still have pursuits and beliefs that transcend infinity!”

Zhang Zhai paused slightly, then continued in a deep voice:

"At this moment, we will once again board the Yanhuang from here, go to Mars, continue our steps towards the starry sky, and continue our ideal of 'branding the entire starry sky with the traces of human civilization.'"

After the words fell, Zhang Zhai put down the communicator, looked at the twenty researchers in front of him, and smiled slightly,

"Everyone, are you ready?"

"Mr. Zhang, you're ready... Zhai Shen... ready!"

The responses were not uniform, but everyone's voice was sonorous and powerful.

Looking at the people in front of me, they were either excited or excited, their faces were flushed, and they were full of fighting spirit.

Zhang Zhai smiled, then turned around, faced the launch area, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, get ready to board!"
Chapter completed!
