It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"Everyone, I have some sad news for you."

"The United States has given up on your rescue mission, and even banned us from sending help messages to Xia."

The faces of the three astronauts changed drastically!

"How did this happen?!" Bruno breathed heavily, his pupils dilated instantly, "Damn it, have we been abandoned?!"

Andrew looked at the radio equipment in front of him with a gloomy expression. When he saw the working indicator light on it, he was stunned, and quickly stopped Bruno's complaint: "Be quiet, Bruno!"

"The professor hasn't finished yet!"

After tens of seconds of silence, Professor Chris' voice sounded again.

It's just that, compared with the previous ones, the sound that sounded this time was extraordinarily weak and vague.

"Andrew, if you want to return to Earth, you have to personally send a distress message to Xuannv No. [-]!"

"We are currently unable to send messages to Xia Guo, everything depends on you!"

"Tell Xuannv No.[-] that if possible, it is best to let Xia Guo announce this matter. With the pressure of public opinion, you will feel better when you come back..."

"I'm leaving the ground command center in Houston, remember, there is no need to answer this communication!"

The signal light for radio equipment went out.

The return cabin fell into a deadly atmosphere again.

A few minutes later, Andrew exhaled slowly, and said in a low voice, "What should I do?"

"Shall we ask Xia Guo for help?"

Andrew's question instantly caught the eyes of two teammates.

"What do you say?"

"Why, don't you want to die on Mars?"

Andrew smiled wryly and shook his head: "I'm just a little worried about our situation after we go back, if..."

Bruno on the side shrugged lightly: "We'll talk about the matter later, if it doesn't work, let's apply for the citizenship of the Xia Kingdom. I believe that with our Mars experience, the Xia Kingdom will want us."

Bruno stood up while talking, put on the helmet that was placed aside, put the oxygen cylinder on his back, and said softly: "It's time for us to get ready to go!"

……

The bottom of the ZHZ72 crater.

"I went to..."

Hong Fan sat down on the red surface of Mars: "Damn it, how long do we have to work on such a big crater?"

Looking at the drilling holes that appeared every 100 meters in front of him, the corner of his mouth twitched violently.

"I said Captain, Professor Lu is not fooling us, is he?"

Bai Yixuan stopped what he was doing, and said helplessly, "Whether Professor Lu is fooling us or not, I can only tell you one fact."

"The materials inside Xuannv No. [-] can support us for at least a month."

Hong Fan: "..."

"Captain, the radio device has received a communication request!"

"Looking at the frequency band, it should be sent from the Mars capsule in the United States."

Just when Hong Fan got up and was about to go to the next drilling site with Bai Yixuan, Xia Wanyi's slightly dignified voice came from the helmet.

Bai Yixuan was slightly taken aback, and said in a deep voice, "I'll be right there!"

After a few minutes.

Bai Yixuan looked at the radio equipment with deep doubts.

"This American is not stupid, is he?"

"What are you looking for us for?"

Hong Fan on the side sat down on the chair carelessly, and said indifferently: "Captain, you can pick it up and listen."

Bai Yixuan's face was cloudy and uncertain.

After all, just yesterday, Professor Lu specially sent a message to tell them not to continue making troubles...

"That's right, captain, everyone is here, we have to listen, right?" Xia Wanyi's voice sounded from the side.

Bai Yixuan glanced at his teammates with a wry smile, and slowly shook his head.

"You guys! I just want to watch the excitement all day long!"

While speaking, he reached out and pressed the switch of the radio communication.

"This is Xia Guoxuan No. [-], please tell me!"

"..."

A few minutes later, Bai Yixuan exchanged a strange look with his teammates.

"Ahem... this question, we need to ask for instructions, wait a moment."

……

summer country.

Lu Yongchang sat quietly in the office, writing and drawing on the straw paper in front of him with the pen in his hand without stopping.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

There was a quick knock on the door.

"Come in!" Lu Yongchang said directly without raising his head.

"Academician Fang, why are you here?" Su Yutong stood up quickly and prepared to make tea for Fang Xu.

"Ahem, Yu Tong, you should go out first, Professor Lu and I have something to talk about."

Fang Xu's slightly weird tone attracted Lu Yongchang's attention.

When Su Yutong left, Lu Yongchang frowned and asked, "Brother Xu, what are you talking about?"

Fang Xu's face became more and more strange.

"Yongchang, if I say that something happened to the Mars module in the United States, and the three astronauts are now asking us for help, do you think it is credible?"

"Pfft! Cough-cough-cough!"

Lu Yongchang's face was flushed, he coughed hard a few times, and looked at Fang Xu with a surprised face: "Huh? What did you say?!"

Facing Lu Yongchang's rhetorical question, Fang Xu shrugged slightly, and pointed to the sky helplessly.

"That's not what I said."

"Bai Yixuan said it."

"Why didn't they ask NASA for help?" Lu Yongchang took a deep breath and asked after calming down his mood.

"..." Fang Xu was silent for a moment, "It is said that NASA... No, the United States has given up on them."

Lu Yongchang's pupils suddenly shrank.

"What should we do now?"

"Shall we help with this?"

Fang Xu's eyes were full of confusion: "From what Bai Yixuan said, Albert seems to have banned NASA from asking us for help."

"If we intervene at this time, the consequences..."

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang, who was still a little hesitant at first, pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth.

"save!"

"Tell Bai Yixuan, set out now to save people!"

"My 358th regiment...cough cough! I, Lu Yongchang, must help out!"

Chapter 126 - The Mysterious Girl-X

Although he said so, Lu Yongchang also knew in his heart that such a major matter still had to be decided by the chairman of the council.

At least, national interests will always come first before going out of the earth.

then……

more than an hour later.

In the office inside the Beijing First Ring Road.

"Hiss..." The old man put down the teacup in his hand, frowned and glanced at Lu Yongchang at the desk.

"Yongchang, what do you think?"

Facing the chairman of the council, Lu Yongchang naturally couldn't say the same "mudgy words" as before.

He pondered for a moment, organizing some words in his heart.

"Sir, I think we need to do this rescue mission."

Councilor Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and took a sip of the tea in his cup: "Oh?"

"Is it okay to fall out with Miguo because of this?"

Lu Yongchang's eyes flashed brightly, and he nodded firmly: "Not bad!"

The office returned to tranquility again, only the sound of the old man drinking tea was left.

a long time.

"Tell me the reason." The old man put down the teacup again, and the expression in his eyes became sharper, "I need a reason!"

Lu Yongchang glanced at the calendar on his desk.

2031.10.12

"It's been a year." Lu Yongchang did not directly answer the old man's words, but sighed softly.

The old man frowned slightly: "One year?"

The next second, the old man's eyes revealed a hint of surprise: "You mean, the sun has 14 years left?"

Lu Yongchang nodded, then shook his head again.

The old man was a little puzzled by Lu Yongchang's reaction.

But the next moment, Lu Yongchang opened his mouth to answer the old man's doubts.

"Chairman, according to the mathematical model of solar evolution I established at that time, I estimate that the sun will undergo relatively large changes soon."

"It is estimated that within a few days, the west side will also discover the problem of the sun."

Councilor Li's face changed slightly: "So fast?!"

Facing the old man's exclamation, Lu Yongchang showed a somewhat bitter smile on his face.

fast?

Not really fast.

According to the progress of the previous life, this is actually the sixth year that the sun has changed.

"So you mean..."

Councilor Li looked at Lu Yongchang in front of him solemnly, and asked in a low voice.

Lu Yongchang took a deep breath and uttered a word.

"President, I think it's time for humanity to unite."

Even Mr. Li, when he heard Lu Yongchang's words, his expression changed drastically!

But soon, the old man restrained the emotion on his face.

His eyes flickered slightly, and his fingers tapped the desk in front of him lightly.

From the old man's micro expression, Lu Yongchang could see his entanglement and panic.

Unity of humanity...

These four words seem simple, but it is indeed extremely difficult to do.
