Chapter 39 On the Rest of the Way
Although such things have happened, life still has to go on, and there is still more than half of the voyage left.

Wang Ping'an placed the body in the utility room—the temperature of the universe is generally close to thermodynamic zero, and the temperature on the spacecraft is actually the waste heat of the cooling system.If the heating is stopped, there will soon be a low-temperature area on the spacecraft that can be used to preserve the remains.

Wang Pingan threw away enough cargo, so that the spacecraft regained enough delta to fly to the limit orbit of Mars.

There will be a space tug full of water waiting for him, not only will they replenish the water for the main engine, but also replenish the working fluid for each attitude control engine.

Of course, Wang Pingan did not forget to make a long list of the discarded goods and send them to the ground, so that when the spacecraft arrived at Mars, the ground would have already lost both sides with the insurance company.

Although in the end it was inevitable that Wang Pingan, the commander in chief, should write a long report explaining why he decided to throw away these goods, and he would inevitably be picked and picked, and the reporter might ask some tricky questions, but in a word, Wang Pingan has relied on With his rich experience, he minimized the possibility of being put on small shoes.

Angeli commented on this: "Looking at your military rank that has not been promoted for seven years, I doubt that your experience will work."

This was immediately heard by Lu Aolei who came back from her elder brother: "You haven't been promoted for seven years? But don't you have silver stars?"

Wang Pingan: "Silver Star just got it—oh, this one just now is the standard of the Space Force. For us, the medals we got before this voyage are called the medals we just got."

"Actually, I got it seven months ago." Angeli explained, "In addition, I feel more and more that even if he has a silver star, he won't be promoted. He will be worn in small shoes until he dies. "

Wang Pingan scratched his head and forcibly changed the subject: "Brother Ni, how is it?"

"...It's pretty good, it's frozen in the compartment." Lu Aolei was speechless, "I didn't expect you to ask me this question. Sister Angeli, isn't the captain particularly unflattering? Do girls like it?"

Angeli replied seriously: "Yes."

Wang Ping'an ignited his resistance: "But I am the recognized lover in the detachment. Although I don't know how to please girls, but..."

Lu Aolei: "Bragging."

Wang Ping'an pointed at Angeli: "You don't believe me? Ask her!"

Angeli: "I don't want the mandarin jacket anymore!"

Wang Pingan: "Hey, are you able to pick up this stalk?"

"I've seen it!"

"Then I'll test you again. Let's do 120 and eight legs! It's also a traditional program, and it's also a group talk among three people."

An Geli said angrily: "That part is called "King Kong Legs", I won't come. There are only two of us, and my little sister has never seen it."

"Then let the computer do it. The computer can also imitate the original sound of other old artists..."

At this time, Lu Aolei said: "Are you astronauts so busy?"

Wang Pingan smiled: "You're right, the astronauts on the Feidihuo route are so idle, although the danger is always there, but when the danger is not there, everyone is very bored and can only pass the time in various ways.

"The people who fly this route are either cross talk masters, literary youths who have read all kinds of literary works, or superb chess or poker skills..."

Angeli: "The people who fly the route from the earth to Jupiter are all philosophers. He told me so.

Lu Aolei: "Why space is different from what I imagined... I thought you would do more meaningful work every day."

"Our work is very meaningful. We... er, ensure the rich material life of the Martian people."

Lu Aolei: "...Is your silver star shipped out?"

"No, I participated in the rescue and rescued two children from the dense debris."

"Then why don't you always participate in emergency rescue? Doesn't the Space Force have that kind of constant emergency rescue force?"

"Because the universe is huge, all kinds of work needs to be done by people, and the universe is too dangerous, and there may be emergency rescue at any time, so there is no special rescue force in the universe. Instead, every astronaut must do a good job in emergency rescue." Prepare, master professional skills.

"Of course, if you insist, people from the Torch Fleet have a better chance of participating in the rescue. But not everyone in the Torch Fleet can enter."

Angeli was next to him to disrupt the situation: "For example, he who often violates military regulations and contradicts his superiors can't go."

At this time, the computer played the alarm clock.

Angeli: "When the time comes, let's do today's test."

Lu Aolei pouted: "I'm fine, can I not test?"

"No, this is to prevent you from getting PTSD. You will have to receive treatment for several months after Mars, and you will be allowed to set foot on the passenger ship back to Earth after you are sure that you are fine."

Lu Aolei: "Cut, it's unnecessary."

Wang Pingan: "If you don't want to take the test, that's fine. Let's do a little more math today."

"Then I'll test it!" The little girl changed her words immediately.

It seemed that she hated math more than annoying psychological tests.

That's right, in order to ensure that little Lu Aolei doesn't miss too much homework after returning to Earth, now Angeli and Wang Ping'an are teaching Lu Aolei.

These two have no problem with their knowledge. After all, those who can enter the Space Force are all academic masters, especially Wang Pingan. After a few voyages, he has become a master who knows the history of human movies and games like the palm of his hand.

But they obviously don't know how to be teachers, and most of the classes they teach are very boring.

That's why Lu Aolei doesn't like these courses very much.

Lu Aolei took the psychological scale handed over by Angeli, picked up the pen but didn't fill it out immediately, but looked at Wang Ping'an and asked, "Does it mean that you won't have to go to class the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, the day after tomorrow we will be captured by the gravity of Mars and enter the high orbit of Mars. There we will dock with the space tug, and we will not care about you at all."

Lu Aolei: "Then can we see the God of War necklace tomorrow?"

Wang Pingan: "How is it possible? In high orbits, you can see that Mars is only a fingernail. This is still a rhetorical technique. It is impossible to see the God of War necklace in middle orbits."

"Then where can I see it?" Lu Aolei asked.

"When we enter the Phobos orbit and prepare to dock with Luna 2, we will definitely see it. Not only can we see the God of War necklace, but we can also see the launch station on Olympus."

Angeli tapped on the table: "Stop talking, fill out the scale quickly. Fill it out with your first feeling."

"I said that I have stepped out of the shadows..."

"I don't believe that a person who goes to the room where his brother's body is stored every day to look in through the glass on the cabin door has come out of the shadows." Angeli said seriously, "I have studied psychology, you can't fool me."

Wang Pingan: "They psychologists all have a kind of self-confidence, thinking that they know people's hearts like the back of their hands."

"But the fact that I've been with you for only two weeks, and you got a silver star, shows that psychology is still useful."

"Huh? This is the beginning of the history books? My silver star was bought by me with courage..."

"Okay!" Lu Aolei interrupted the bickering between the two, "I'm going to start filling out the psychological scale! Don't argue!"
