Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Ho again! Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Ho again! When Zhang Yuan stepped out of the room’s main door, his mood was quite heavy.
The information disclosed by this leader might have so hidden or false elents, but most of it should be true.
After all, if both sides were to engage deeply in cooperation, exchanges would beco more frequent. Eventually, these ugly truths would be unable to be covered up, so it would be better to speak them openly… Instead, through a very clever ans, naly a private conversation, he had eliminated this barrier.
Moreover, on a personal level, Zhang Yuan also felt that this leader was reliable, not soone who would randomly think he could solve problems with a snap decision.
As for the rebellion that had just occurred, it was not very significant. It only showed that the other party’s internal control was not very tight. The cooperation between two civilizations couldn’t be stopped by such minor incidents…
“This deal, for humans… is indeed very important. The Universal Factory requires careful consideration.”
Thirty days later, the journey to break the ice officially ended. Zhang Yuan did not have any particular illnesses and could basically rule out the risk of infection.
More than twenty diplomats boarded the two shuttles and returned to the Earth Era Spaceship.
“Goodbye everyone!” Zhang Yuan waved his hand, bid farewell to the Gleize Civilization’s send-off personnel, and then with a “bang,” the shuttle’s door closed.
Due to the small space inside the shuttle, the seats were almost touching each other. The discussions inside were lively; the experiences, observations, and feelings from these days were incredibly rich. Whether it was arts, science, or humanities, many aspects were different from Earth Civilization.
People could reflect on and derive a lot of new knowledge from this.
Zhang Yuan didn’t say much but just quietly sat in his seat, listening to his companions’ discussions.
As for the later history of the Glizerians, he temporarily didn’t disclose it to his companions. This matter was very significant, and it was better for these artists not to know yet, to prevent rumors on the internet and the public incessantly gossiping, which could have negative effects.
“Boom!”
The shuttle quickly started and soon ascended diagonally up towards the stratosphere.
This shuttle was different from ordinary rockets and sowhat resembled an airplane.
It used both an Ion engine and a turboprop engine for propulsion. Within the atmosphere, the turboprop engine accelerated the entire shuttle. Once it reached a certain altitude, it switched to the Ion engine for propulsion.
So, as opposed to rockets, it didn’t produce a trendous acceleration and was comparatively comfortable to ride in.
Of course, since the acceleration was not rapid, it took a long ti to escape the planet’s gravity.
After a day, the shuttle had risen to a certain height, and it was already possible to observe the entire planet’s landscape—vast and desolate, with life concentrated only within a tiny Twilight Zone.
At that mont, Zhang Yuan suddenly felt a desolate emotion.
Nearly 400 million Glizerians were hiding underground here! They never appeared on the surface, indifferent to the outside world and the fate of their entire civilization.
The glow of nuclear fusion had long been ignited; they didn’t need to worry about energy, food, or any aspect of clothing, food, shelter, and transportation.
They were more concerned about the next second of joy—yes, burrowing in their tiny plot of land was already comfortable enough…
This zombie-like feeling was utterly chilling!
If it weren’t for so special reasons, Zhang Yuan would have even wanted to stay far away from this planet, fearing contamination by so unhealthy ideologies.
In this slow manner, another four days passed, and the group finally saw the massive Earth Era Spaceship.
“Click” The shuttle docked with the Earth Era spaceship on ti.
“Ho at last! Finally ho! Don’t take off your space suit yet; we’ll do a dical checkup after we get back.” Sitting aside, Lin Xuanxuan was as excited as a little bunny, hopping and jumping, the first to leap off the shuttle.
Welco ho!
The warm crowd on the Earth Era spaceship was lined up to greet them, even unfurling a large banner to welco them. Seeing all those familiar smiling faces and vigorously waving hands, Zhang Yuan suddenly felt a weight lift from his shoulders, as if he had traveled from a decaying world to another brimming with life and vitality.
Upon exiting the disinfection room, he took several deep breaths of air, feeling even the air on the spaceship seed fresher!
“Haha, we’re back!” Li Zhendong shouted with mock ostentation, and indeed, many people actively responded. His wife hurried over to cover the guy’s mouth.
Captain Zhao stood at the forefront of the crowd to receive them.
A deep sense of security rose in his heart, and Zhang Yuan felt a strange surge of emotion, a determination to overco any difficulty ahead!
“…Our people have a positive and upward mindset, diligent and hard-working. Even with declining living standards due to the pressures of war, they hardly complain.
“If it were soone from the Gleize Civilization, they might not have been able to endure this decline in living standards…Ah!”
But after all, we are not them!
“Great job, everyone!”
“Great job!”
The female reporters ca up to take photos, took a group photo for the team, briefly interviewed them, and then broadcasted the whole process live. This event was highly followed by the public, and broadcasting it live allowed everyone to finally relax.
After handing over all the docunts, the group rested for half a day.
Zhang Yuan was then taken back to the hospital for a checkup, and only after confirming everything was fine, he was released.
Tired, really tired… Suddenly relaxing, he felt almost paralyzed, his muscles aching intensely. The gravity on Gliese 581g was a bit stronger than on Earth; prolonged weight-bearing walks inevitably caused muscle discomfort, but now, this was the gravity humans were accustod to.
The feeling of coming ho was always so leisurely and comfortable.
Although current living conditions were not too good, even basic necessities were not fully resolved, and everyone had to keep struggling and working overti, so what… At least the future held hope, filled with anticipation.
Zhang Yuan ate a bowl of ran in the canteen, even containing a few slices of chicken, feeling thoroughly content, then lay in bed and slept soundly for several hours.
Waking up, he felt refreshed, and all his worries had suddenly vanished.
Habitually reaching for the nightstand, he found his phone had many ssages from friends and so work-related discussions.
Senior Brother Zhao even urgently asked him to co to the Captain’s Room after he woke up to discuss so issues.
“If you’re well-rested, co over soon; if not, sleep a little more. It’s not urgent anyway.”
“Is this what they call ‘not urgent’?” Zhang Yuan smiled, got out of bed leisurely, dressed, combed his hair, then hurriedly walked out of the room.
This icebreaking journey was truly significant, with many matters needing decisions from the whole civilization: war or peace, to help or not—all requiring consideration.
So, a little rest was enough; there was no need to rest for a long ti.
Even though his body really felt a bit broken…
