Chapter 215: The long road ahead is with you!
Human beings pursue beauty or beautiful things throughout their lives, because "beauty" can bring comfortable sensory enjoyment to individuals, stimulate people's current emotions and desire for the future.
Just like we ordinary people like to watch short videos online, look at beautiful scenery, cute pets, young ladies, etc., we all have similar sensory enjoyment.
The reason why Zou Ying felt this way was for the same reason.
In addition, Chen Jue's body is indeed perfect to the extreme. Whether it is the skin, skeleton, or muscle contour lines, they all perfectly exceed the golden ratio.
The most important thing is that Chen Jue is already a true saint on earth, and he has awakened to the state of [harmony between man and nature]. The magnetic field of his mind and body radiates outward at the same time. Humans or other creatures who see him will involuntarily develop a good impression of him.
This is the perfect body of a saint, and it is also mankind’s highest yearning and pursuit for a beautiful body.
Including the male staff, after seeing the curves of Chen Jue's upper body, they were all shocked. There was no jealousy or evil thoughts in their eyes, only pure admiration and yearning.
"Handsome guy, there's a changing room next to you." Seeing Chen Jue taking off his upper body clothes on the spot, a staff member pointed to a small partition in the room, which was obviously prepared for astronauts participating in vacuum chamber training.
Seeing this, Chen Jue thanked him, grabbed the aerospace combat uniform and went into the partition room to change.
This aerospace combat suit is extremely close fitting and weighs about 40 kilograms. For Chen Jue, it is no different from wearing an ordinary piece of clothing.
After putting on the combat uniform and the special helmet, Chen Jue pressed a button on the back of his neck as the staff had reminded him.
With a hissing sound, the gas was expelled from the wrinkles and bulges on the combat suit. The entire combat suit fit Chen Jue perfectly, making him look like a black combat robot.
After walking out of the partition room, Chen Jue stretched his arms and legs and found that wearing this combat suit was indeed much better than the bulky space suit, and he did not feel any discomfort in wearing it.
Seeing that he was dressed, Zou Ying said, "The emergency oxygen in the helmet can only be supplied for about five minutes. If the oxygen supply device on the back is added, it should be extended to 20 minutes. In addition, this aerospace combat suit has cut most of its functions. Although it has a built-in pressure stabilization system, it is only a temporary pressurization device that can only be effective for three minutes at most. After three minutes, the pressure will be lost."
"When you enter the vacuum chamber later, we will only turn on the simulated vacuum for one minute. If you feel uncomfortable, press the built-in alarm switch in advance." Zou Ying pointed to a conspicuous red button in the vacuum chamber.
"Got it. Thank you, Engineer Zou." Chen Jue's voice came through the helmet, and then he walked down the stairs into the horizontal cylindrical device.
When the staff closed the metal hatch of the vacuum chamber, the room fell into darkness.
Chen Jue felt like he was back to the time when he was practicing diving in the beach villa. It was also dark and silent under the sea at that time. Now when he encountered this situation again, there was not the slightest ripple in his heart. He was so calm that it was a little too calm.
Soon after the hatch was closed, several turbo pumps outside the vacuum chamber began working, accelerating the extraction of air inside.
Chen Jue felt an inexplicable slight palpitation, obviously this body was reacting to the vacuum environment.
"Fear?"
"I didn't expect that a physical attribute of over 6 is still unable to withstand a vacuum... If there is no stable pressure, will the body fluids boil directly? If I use the small and large circulations, can I suppress this decompression boiling?"
"Or could it be possible to prevent this situation by forming a layer of energy magnetic field outside the body?" Chen Jue guessed in his heart, and he became more and more looking forward to the subsequent practice.
When the air pressure in the vacuum chamber dropped all the way to the Armstrong limit, Chen Jue's aerospace combat suit began to work.
The oxygen supply system and the pressure system began to work at the same time. Two cursor values actually lit up on the glass cover inside the helmet, one for oxygen and the other for pressure. Both were countdowns, reminding Chen Jue the endurance of these two important indicators.
Once the oxygen supply and pressure are lost, Chen Jue will have to rely solely on his physical body to withstand the vacuum environment.
Chen Jue, wearing combat uniform, moved his hands and feet in the vacuum chamber and found that it was much smoother than in the normal atmospheric environment. This should be due to the reduced air resistance.
When the one minute was up, a hissing sound was heard in the vacuum chamber. Apparently, the staff outside had stopped the turbo pump and terminated the test.
The hatch of the vacuum chamber slowly opened. Seeing Chen Jue coming out safely, Zou Ying and other staff members who were waiting outside all breathed a sigh of relief.
"I declare! The aerospace combat uniform has passed the preliminary acceptance!" Zou Ying took the lead in applauding, and the R&D personnel involved in this project also began to cheer.
Chen Jue pressed the switch behind his neck, took off his helmet, and smiled at everyone. He felt that it would not be long before he ascended to heaven.
…
For the next few days, Chen Jue stayed in the equipment research and development building, participating in the debugging and improvement of the equipment he was wearing. He also took the time to practice the Ten Body Tempering Styles and the Red Dust Golden Body Technique to improve its attributes.
After a week, when all preparations were completed, Chen Jue was invited by Mr. Zhong back to the white office where they had the initial conversation.
"Young man, the manned rocket has been arranged and can be launched as early as tomorrow morning."
"Are you ready?" Old Zhong asked Chen Jue, who had a calm expression.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhong. I was ready before I came and can go up at any time." Chen Jue nodded.
Seeing that he looked calm, Elder Zhong stopped talking nonsense and turned to explain some key points of landing in the Second Home: "First, you must ensure your own safety first when you arrive in the Second Home!"
"Chen Jue, you are the most important talent in our flower-growing family and the hope of mankind. To put it simply, you are our secret weapon."
"The Ten Body-Building Exercises you compiled have undergone preliminary verification and are now entering the stage of vigorous promotion. The abridged version of the body-building exercises has been introduced into schools of all age groups in the past few days. Soon, a large number of your disciples will emerge."
"After the tenth level of body forging, there are also the [Transcendent Level] and [Void Level] that you proposed, which have also entered the supercomputer simulation demonstration. For both public and private reasons, this old man hopes that you can return safely and bring back hope for the subsequent evolution and transformation of mankind."
Chen Jue nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhong! I still have my relatives and friends on Earth, as well as countless friends in the mortal world. I will definitely come back."
Seeing him speak so confidently , Elder Zhong nodded and smiled, then changed his expression to a very serious one: "The second point, and the most important one, is that when you arrive at the second home, no matter who or what you encounter, I hope you can stay alert and on guard."
"We still have too little information at hand, and we can't fully guarantee whether there is extraterrestrial civilization on that planet."
"If... I say if, once you encounter an alien intelligent species, I hope you can directly and decisively destroy or enslave them. Don't easily contact or communicate with them, and absolutely ensure that our human civilization information is not leaked."
Hearing this, Chen Jue's expression gradually became serious. What Mr. Zhong was talking about was the famous Dark Forest Law of the Universe.
Just like Columbus' discovery of the New World in history, the contact between two unfamiliar civilizations brought not peace, but only invasion, destruction and colonization.
As the saying goes: A man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure. The development of any civilization depends on resources . When one party is not strong enough to protect its own resources, it will be plundered by the other party.
Looking back at the history of human civilization is enough to prove that there is only one possibility for goodwill between civilizations, and that is that it comes from one's own strength.
Without establishing a basis for equal communication with the other party, once an encounter occurs, the best outcome is to destroy the other party.
"I'll take care of it." Chen Jue took a deep breath and nodded.
Seeing that he seemed to have made up his mind, Elder Zhong was relieved and no longer so serious. Instead, he said in a relaxed tone: "Since those wormhole tunnels on the moon have existed for more than 65 million years, and no other intelligent life has come from the other side, it is highly unlikely that there will be any intelligent species."
"You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself. The subsequent base will step up its efforts and send the next batch of first-level candidates to provide you with support and accelerate the establishment of the first bridgehead transit station of the second home."
"Not only are we making efforts, but the Western Alliance, Eagle Country, and those large financial groups are also accelerating. It is estimated that the second home will become very lively soon."
"After talking for so long, I still don't know if you have any wishes or suggestions?" After Mr. Zhong finished explaining these matters, he turned to care about Chen Jue's wishes.
"My wish?"
"Not yet... By the way! I have a small request, which was just a spur of the moment thing, it's a small matter. I will just tell Director Liu about it directly later, no need to bother you, Mr. Zhong." Chen Jue said with a smile, easing the serious atmosphere a little.
"Okay! Then I, an old man, would like to wish you a safe journey here." Old Zhong stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Jue tightly, his eyes full of sincerity and expectation.
…
After the two finished chatting, they walked out of the office where they had their initial conversation. Seeing Deputy Director Liu Chengdong waiting outside the door, Chen Jue took him to the dormitory building and handed him the tape left by his mother. "Director Liu, when the rocket is launched tomorrow, please insert some background music for me. Please keep this tape for me and return it to me when I come back."
"What? Interrupt BGM???"
"It's still the flowers you young people play with!"
"I understand. Leave it to me. There happens to be a machine in the monitoring hall that can read this kind of tape." Liu Chengdong was stunned at first, then took the tape with a serious face.
This was Chen Jue's wish before he left. As the person in charge of inviting Chen Jue to join the home plan, he naturally had to support it.
After seeing Liu Chengdong off, Chen Jue returned to his room and looked through messages on his phone. His circle of friends remained the same as before, with countless micro-businesses, advertisements, and photos showing off their daily lives.
It happened that the Chinese New Year had just passed, and everyone had resumed their daily life, work, and study. After taking a look at the latest news about his roommates, relatives, and fellow martial artists, Chen Jue felt that he had long let go of his reluctance to leave the secular world.
He set up an automatic reply program on his phone: "I'm going on a long trip. Please leave a message if you have anything to say." Chen Jue began to practice martial arts and improve his attributes as usual.
In Chen Jue's opinion, riding a rocket is actually the same as riding a plane. The only difference is that it flies a little longer and farther.
…
After a night's rest, Chen Jue changed into aerospace combat uniform early the next morning, and put on a specially made large space suit on the outside. Then he followed Liu Chengdong and others to the rocket launch site.
Mr. Zhong, Zou Ying and some base staff members he had met were all there. After a brief conversation with them, Chen Jue walked towards the huge manned rocket on the launch pad.
Under the arrangement of the staff, Chen Jue entered the manned cabin that had been used for several simulation experiments with ease, tied the safety ropes, and began to wait for the launch in a supine position.
When the cabin door closed, Liu Chengdong's voice rang out through the microphone in the monitoring room: "Comrade Chen Jue, can you hear me?" Chen Jue made an OK gesture to a camera in the cabin.
Seeing Chen Jue so calm in the picture, all the staff in the monitoring room felt relieved and began to perform their duties and make preparations for the countdown before the launch.
Liu Chengdong put the tape entrusted by Chen Jue into the machine and tested the sound.
As soon as Chen Jue in the manned cabin heard the prelude of "Laughing in the Red Dust", he suddenly reminded: "Director Liu, you made a mistake! Switch to side B!"
"Side B?"
"Oh! Okay!" When Liu Chengdong heard Chen Jue say this, he hurriedly took out the tape reel and put it back in place, switching the A and B sides.
When the countdown reached the last minute in the monitoring room, the launch tower that secured the manned rocket began to retract and the engine at the bottom of the rocket began to preheat.
Everyone in the hall, including Mr. Zhong, Liu Chengdong, Zou Ying, and the candidates who came to observe, including Zhou Gang and others, all sent their blessings and prayers to Chen Jue.
Chen Jue's heartbeat began to accelerate inexplicably, and his mind recalled the first flower-growing hero who went into manned space flight that he had seen in major news reports when he was in school. At that time, he had also naively imagined that he would become an astronaut when he grew up, but later, as time passed, he became just an ordinary person in the world.
I didn't expect that after so many years, until I awakened this attribute panel in my mind, this childhood dream actually came true in a confused way. Whenever Chen Jue thought about it now, he felt a mixture of emotions.
As the countdown entered the last second, an ignition command sounded in his ears, and the engine at the bottom of the rocket spewed out huge flames and white smoke. A powerful thrust began to slowly carry Chen Jue into the air.
That was the pushing feeling brought by the rocket launch. Although it was not as strong as the 8G during the test training, it still made Chen Jue feel that he was gradually leaving the earth.
At this moment, the old song on side B of the tape played by Liu Chengdong happened to echo in the communication channel of the manned cabin.
Not only Chen Jue heard it, but everyone in the monitoring hall also heard this old song.
“Dong… Dong… Dong Dong Dong…” Those were the beats of a big drum, with a rhythm that made one’s blood boil. When the dense drum beats reached the climax, a loud Cantonese male voice sang: “I will accompany you on the long road, with courage and enthusiasm…Searching for myself and true love, and considering the place where I stop as my hometown…Throwing myself into the fire of fate, how can I measure the gains and losses…Riding a horse across the world, who will be nervous about the past…”
The singing became louder and louder, and Chen Jue was also in the air as the rocket took off, with a calm and smiling face. He was no longer nostalgic for the past events of the world, but carried his mother's dying wishes and his own expectations with a bit of yearning for future cultivation in his eyes. He went further and further, flew higher and higher, until he reached the sea of stars beyond the earth!
