The next day, a small celebration banquet was held in the continuation base.

The content of the celebration, needless to say, was the successful test flight of the warp spacecraft the day before yesterday.

However, not many people came to this festival.

Apart from the 11 astronauts who participated in the test flight, only a handful of people from the base’s top brass came. Most of the people who came were researchers from Lu Jie’s laboratory.

In order to attend this celebration, Wang Nan, who is an astronaut, was excited all night. Before going out, he deliberately dressed up for nearly an hour, and even played with the stiff hair that was less than a centimeter short for a long time.

Although the venue of the celebration was very carefully arranged and the catering was high-end, the number of people in attendance made Wang Nan a little dissatisfied.

Before going up to the podium, he muttered, “What’s the matter, the warp speed spaceship is a major invention that has the potential to change the course of human civilization.” A few of us risked our lives to test flights, and I am afraid that we will go down in history like the Wright brothers and Armstrong. Why is this celebration so deserted?”

Xie Tianhe, the captain of the astronaut team standing in front of him, kept a straight face, his expression was the same as usual, and he was not shocked.

Xie Tianhe: “What are you complaining about!? Isn’t it enough to be recorded in history?”

Although Wang Nan didn’t dare to talk back to Xie Tianhe on weekdays, he really couldn’t help it this day.

What’s more, the rest of the astronauts behind him were just as dissatisfied with the celebration as he was.

“But this… Even the celebration for Armstrong decades ago was more lively than ours, right?”

“There’s a real good chance we’ll be in the annals of history. However, it must also be based on the premise that the history of mankind can continue!”

Xie Tianhe’s words hit the nail on the head.

Indeed, the Earth today is not the same as the time when Layman invented the airplane or Armstrong landed on the moon.

If nothing else, Antimatter Fall could destroy Earth within two years. At that time, human beings will not be spared.

The successful test flight of the warp spacecraft is indeed the first step in escaping humanity from the doom of destruction, but it is only the first step.

The follow-up work is piling up, and if humanity stops there, then the invention of the warp engine will be meaningless.

Especially in this continuation base, although the scientific researchers have different positions, different professional directions, and different abilities. But as long as they come here, they are all respectable people who care about the future of mankind.

They came to the Continuation Base to save humanity from the fate of extinction and to win hope for the future, not to enjoy the pleasures of feasts or delicious food.

It is precisely because of this that so few people attended today’s celebration. Most of the people who came were subordinates in Lu Jie’s research room who spontaneously came to help her support the scene.

Those who didn’t come didn’t have any objections to the banquet itself, let alone any dissatisfaction with the astronauts.

It’s just that with the successful test flight of the warp spacecraft, the data obtained during the test flight is enough to keep them busy for a while.

The data will help the researchers break through the bottlenecks in their work in recent days, which they have been thinking about day and night.

Being able to make progress on their research right away is something more exciting for them than attending a banquet.

Every second counts, and it is the motto of almost every staff member in the base.

In the end, 11 astronauts, including Lu Jie, were awarded the New Era Exploration Medal on stage.

Li Hao, the inventor of the warp engine, gave them a speech and presented them with medals. _
