Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 634 Farewell
Fang Haibo stopped at the door of the house.

Suddenly a voice full of surprise sounded behind him.

"Hibo?"

Fang Haibo turned around, tears blurred his eyes, and his throat was a little choked: "Dad!"

The burly middle-aged man who was seven points similar to Fang Haibo patted Fang Haibo's shoulder with his big hand: "You boy, you have been here for decades, how long do you plan to stay at home this time?"

Fang Haibo was silent for a moment and replied: "About half a month."

"Okay! Don't be a daughter's attitude, what a coy look!" His father said with a smile.

Fang Haibo heard a hint of helplessness and sadness from his father's words, and he knew it was because his father didn't want to embarrass himself.

"I plan to return to the league to find a regular job after this trip."

"real?"

Fang Haibo nodded.

"Actually, Hai Bo, you don't have to worry about me and your mother. After all, technology is so advanced now, and Hai Tao and Hai Lan often come back, so there's no need to go against your dreams." Father didn't want him to have a psychological burden.

"I'm tired from running and want to stop and rest for a while. Maybe I'll run again after a few decades." Fang Haibo replied with a smile.

"Don't talk about that, I'll cook some of your favorite dishes, and let's have a drink tonight."

"I have long wanted to eat your old private kitchen, and I brought the wine." Fang Haibo said, lifting the wooden box beside him.

"You boy, Everest of Fengdu, this is a good thing."

"Honor your old man, how can I get ordinary things."

The father and son walked into the villa talking and laughing. There were not only parents but also many little kids in the house. They were all the children of his older brother and younger brother.

When his mother saw Fang Haibo coming back, she also teased him with tears in her eyes, while muttering "I'm thinner", "I'm suntanned", "Be careful outside" and so on.

Although his mother was long-winded, the feeling of being talked about made him feel very kind and nostalgic.

……

Ma Wu leaned against the alloy wall of the corridor.

Not far from him is Explorer [-], which is the natural satellite of Uranus, also known as the Museum of the Universe, or the cemetery of spacecraft.

It has completed its final journey, and the decommissioning approval document from the Ministry of Communications has come down. The Explorer [-] spacecraft can only stay here in the future as an exhibit in the Space Museum.

"It's as perfect as a work of art." The museum curator Maxwell said flatly.

"It's not perfect, and nothing is perfect." Ma Wu still looked at Explorer II.

Maxwell looked at Explorer II, and then turned his head to look at Ma Wu. The years did not leave traces on his appearance, but his temperament was slightly vicissitudes.

"It is true that there is no perfect thing. The incomplete beauty of Venus with Broken Arm is the true portrayal of the world."

Ma Wu jumped onto the deck of Explorer [-] without saying a word, opened the hatch and the automatic sensor light turned on, he carefully looked at each cabin, dormitory area, maintenance area, warehouse area, living area, entertainment area, armament area, etc. district, energy district...

Until the final cockpit area.

[Welcome home, Colonel Mawu, Explorer II is at your service. ]
"Hello, I will teach you more in the future."

The sense of confusion between reality and memory made him feel mixed. He opened the holographic star map and made a quick replay from the first time he drove the Explorer [-].

He watched quietly like this, the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys with the crew, and the sea of ​​stars and seas that he witnessed with Explorer [-], time seemed to flow back to the past.

farewell my love
past time can not be traced
the universe has an end
Life is full of joys and sorrows

Thank you for your company all the way
——Star Vagabond Ma Wu to Explorer 101, Galactic Year 01, January 27th.

General Ma left this passage on the last page of the captain's logbook, marking a regretful end to the final journey of Explorer [-].

he left.

Left with sadness.

Maxwell looked at his back and shrugged, then turned around and introduced to a group of children visiting the museum:
"This is the legendary Explorer [-], a miracle ship, it was built in the third shipyard of Planet Herik, because..."

"Wow!"

"I heard that it traveled a total of 10354 light-years, making it the farthest spaceship ever traveled by human beings."

"It also found 246 alien civilizations and..."

A group of children listened and discussed with great interest.

Maxwell seems to have seen the old days when he was a clerk in NASA, when he was more innocent and pure.

But now NASA has also become history. The North Atlantic Joint Area has given up its own aerospace industry. Maxwell is not surprised by this. Although he used to be the administrator of NASA, he knows that NASA's historical mission has been completed.

It's as if Explorer [-] completed its final journey and was sent to the Universe Museum.

There are also the first Qinglong-class spaceship, the first Xuanwu-class spaceship, the United-class spaceship, the Kuafu-class spaceship, the modified Fangshishi class, and the improved Shadow Leopard class...

From the galactic technology in the AD era to the human innovation alliance in the galactic era, the Museum of the Universe has collected all the iconic spacecraft and equipment, which is a witness of history and a cosmic epic of human civilization.

……

[Dear Star Vagabond Your Excellency, the spaceship built by Yinglong Shipyard for you has been installed, please go to Nan A Industrial Star in the Procyon 0101.02.10 galaxy to inspect the spaceship on [-]...]
Ma Wu looked at the time. There were still three days left. He had already received the application for retirement from Masayoshi Kobayashi and others. The crew of Explorer 3425 had a total of 576 people. This time, [-] people chose to apply for retirement.

He didn't stop or persuade, and silently signed his consent, message, and his name on the retirement application review form.

The retiring of the elderly and the joining of newcomers, they will all inherit the spirit of exploration of Explorer [-] in their work and life.

After saying goodbye to his family, he took a backpack and headed towards the mass projector in Kaohsiung City.

Although the Kaohsiung City mass catapult has been decommissioned because the antigravity space elevator replaced it, the mass catapult is still in operation.

After buying a boat ticket, he put his backpack in the consignment cabin, and looked at the familiar anti-GD living room. As he gets older, he likes to look back on the past.

Walking into the anti-grain life-support warehouse, the anti-grain solution was slowly injected, and the familiar taste and feeling came to my heart again.

This kind of retro experience, there are many new generations who like to come and try it, and of course there are many nostalgic old people who also like to come back and take a ride.

As the Qinglong-class spacecraft soared into the sky, the slight sense of oppression reminded Ma Wu of his first experience of riding a Qinglong-class spacecraft and the days of special training at the astronaut training base.

When I came to New Kaohsiung City, it is now a real space city, and the traces of the New Kaohsiung Space Station have long since disappeared.

"Hello! I knew Mr. Captain would be in New Kaohsiung." A blonde girl came slowly.

"Austin, long time no see." Ma Wu said while taking out his backpack.

"Don't the captain congratulate me?" Austin joked with a smile.

Ma Wu said with a smile: "Then congratulations to the smart and capable Austin, who has been promoted to the deputy captain of Explorer [-]."

"Ah, what a perfunctory feeling."

The two walked into the quantum transfer transfer station talking and laughing, and pressed the number to go to the South A Industrial Star of the Procyon Galaxy.

In an instant, it turned into a glimmer of light and disappeared into the quantum teleporter.
