Chapter 789 A chance encounter with flying birds (1/3)
sunny.
The sea breeze blows.
The blue sky and the sea are connected together, making it difficult for people to distinguish the difference between the sky and the sea.
But, fortunately, in this dreamy blue, there is a star that is "thriving".
On the waveless blue sea, cargo ships from all over the world followed the guidance of the port command center and entered the predetermined channel in an orderly manner, heading to the three major ports that had just been built on the base island far away from the sky and the earth.
At this moment, on a passenger ship that departed from Orb after a five-day and four-night sea voyage and a berth for supplies, a brother and sister were lying on the railing of the top platform, looking at the star on the horizon from a distance.
Huge island.
"Brother, then, where is the... um... base island that dad said?"
A little girl with long hair in school uniform was leaning on the railing, tilting her head slightly.
"Well, that should be it. According to what dad said, we will probably have to live there for a long time in the future! Mayu, we will also go to school there!"
As the older brother, the boy nodded, thought for a moment, and repeated what his parents had told their brother and sister.
"Ah? Aren't we going on a trip? Brother. Look, I haven't even changed out of my school uniform."
Sister, Mayu frowned, seeming to miss Orb's campus life.
I saw her stretching out her hands, making gestures, counting her fingers, and muttering.
"Weiwei still owes me a cup of milk tea. Lilia and I agreed to go to the beach and have a good day..."
Listening to his sister thinking about the consequences of having to break up with her friends because of this trip, the young man smiled helplessly, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, like his sister, he had made many appointments with his friends at school, but due to his father's work, he had to break them.
However, the young man concentrated his gaze and looked at the artificial island in the distance that was currently named the Base Island.
Every time he looked at the pedestal island, the young man always had a strange feeling.
If their family can successfully set foot on this base island, live, study, and even work for a long time on it, maybe some... disasters can be avoided?
There is no doubt that this is a very mysterious feeling.
But for some reason, starting from the night when the siblings boarded the passenger ship with their parents and headed to the base island, he would always wake up from his dreams late at night and look at the ceiling with sweat on his face.
A look of shock and uncertainty.
The boy could no longer remember clearly what happened in the dream.
I just remember that my parents were buried in a sea of ​​fire, and my beloved sister only had a severed hand left in front of my eyes.
That horrific scene still remains in the young man's mind and has not dissipated for a long time.
"Really, Mayu!! Where are you? It's lunch time!!"
While the brother and sister were holding on to the railing, looking at the pedestal island in the distance, each with their own plans in mind, the mother of the brother and sister also came to the top platform and brought the brother and sister back to the restaurant.
"You two are really cool. The sun outside is so hot, and you stayed outside for so long."
When the mother brought the brother and sister to the restaurant, she continued to blame them for ignoring the harsh sunshine and running to the top floor to bask in the sun.
The elder brother, Zhen Asuka, apologized repeatedly, blocked his sister behind him, apologized to his mother, and tried his best to appease her mother's dissatisfaction.
The younger sister Mayu Asuka huddled behind her brother and glanced at her mother secretly. After realizing that her mother only habitually blamed the two brothers and sisters, she was no longer afraid and looked towards the restaurant to look for her father.
No, in Mayu Asuka's smart eyes, her father was sitting in a seat on the side of the restaurant near the porthole, talking to a young man who looked a few years older than his brother Zhen Asuka.
"Mayu! Don't run around!"
The mother, who was scolding Mayu Asuka, felt a dark shadow flash in front of her eyes, and then she found Mayu Asuka sneaking into the restaurant and heading straight to her father.
"Dad is talking to the guests, don't be rash and rude!"
Seeing that her mother's attention was attracted by Mayu, Zhen Asuka decisively pursued her on the pretext of pulling her sister back.
As a result, it was still a step slower.
Because, before taking a few steps, Zhen Asuka saw his sister standing beside her father obediently, saluting and saying hello to the guests.
"This kid is really worrying!"
The mother who followed behind breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhen·Asuka could tell that her mother seemed to be very afraid of being rude in front of that guest.
"Mom, who is that?"
"Oh. Really, that brother is Kira Yamato. Even though he is two years older than you, in fact, he is already an important technician in the construction project of the solar power generation system. Well, according to dad, it seems
Dad will start working under him in the future."
"Which brother? He is the direct leader of dad?!"
Shin Asuka looked at the young man talking to his father in surprise.
"Probably, yes. The reason why we were able to board this passenger ship that goes directly to the base island seems to be thanks to the help of Director Kira Yamato."
"director?"
Zhen Asuka blinked his eyes and was surprised.
At this moment, the father who was talking to Kira Yamato finally noticed the mother and son, stood up and waved to them.
"Mom, really, come here! This is Kira Yamato. From today on, dad, I will work in the technical development department of Director Yamato!"
Zhen Asuka turned around and saw a face that seemed familiar, but also strangely unfamiliar.
For some reason, the terrifying and cold feeling lingering in the dream quietly dissipated from this moment.
At the same time, above the nine heavens, a satellite that sailed from a new star slowly entered its predetermined orbit and stopped at a position higher than the Heavenly Pillar.
"The counterweight satellite is in place! According to the original plan, it will be launched in ten hours!"
"Yes. Follow the original plan and carry out the counterweight link ten hours later."
Li Xuan nodded slowly, and then said in a deep voice.
"In addition, the base island is informed that within one week after the link operation of the counterweight satellite is completed, the first space-to-ground link will be carried out!"
After saying that, Li Xuan stood up and ordered.
"Inform all the battleships and MS units of Tianzhizhi to enter the second level combat readiness state!"
"Everyone, cheer me up! Next, it will be the first sky-to-ground link operation of a solar power generation system in human history! This operation can only succeed! Failure is not allowed!"
Chapter completed!
