new York.

Outside the United Nations Headquarters building, a black car with a red flag stopped by the road.

The concierge waiting at the side of the road stepped forward and opened the car door. As the door opened, I saw a middle-aged man in a black suit and a serious look, accompanied by an accompanying secretary, and stepped down from the car. .

"How long does the meeting begin."

"twenty minutes."

"Ok."

The man's name is Liu Jun, and he is Hua Guo's ambassador to the United Nations.

In the forthcoming meeting of representatives of the Twenty Countries, the United Nations will revise the Outer Space Treaty adopted in 1966, adjust many of its existing provisions, and at the same time, China will "build a community of shared future for mankind". And "Cooperative Development of Outer Space Resources" initiative.

Although only a few treaties have been modified on the surface, the relationship among them is actually insignificant. It is equivalent to providing a legal basis for China ’s outer space colonization activities at the level of international conventions.

Before that, this was controversial in the international community.

In addition to the "People's Federation", Academician Lu has achieved another major political achievement for China through the manned ascent plan. Although Academician Lu is not a member of the diplomatic system, every Chinese diplomat likes him quite well.

Because of his existence, many problems that were originally complicated and difficult to deal with, such as land politics, governance, and history, have become easier.

If the situation is optimistic, today ’s meeting will be a highlight of Liu Jun ’s career, signing such a contract on behalf of Huaguo and the world to challenge the old hegemony, and his name will no doubt be recorded in history.

However, there was not much excited expression on his face, and he even wrote a heavy one.

No one expected that in this day of universal celebration, Academician Lu, who brought all this, did not see this day.

And this achievement has become a legacy ...

Walking towards the United Nations Headquarters building, just as the two were about to enter the square in front of the building, two unknown guards standing at the door were suddenly saluting them.

Feeling the respect in that look, Liu Jun didn't speak, just nodded to them, and received their kindness in his heart, and then continued to walk towards the building.

As they crossed the United Nations Plaza, a group of young people were standing there, wearing plain bachelor clothes, with solemn and solemn expressions on their faces, and standing there quietly.

After noticing this, Liu Jun looked at the secretary next to him and pointed to ask.

"What are they doing?"

"Those people seem to be students from Princeton, Columbia University ..." Looking at the news found on the phone, the secretary hesitated for a moment. "They seem to be mourning Professor Lu."

Mourning ...

With complex feelings in his heart, Liu Jun continued to move forward.

Along the way, he met many good people.

Two Latin American ladies working in the Security Council waited on their way to the conference room.

According to them, they are here waiting for the Chinese delegation to express their deep condolences to the death of Academician Lu.

"He is a hero. He has struggled for the progress of civilization until the last moment of his life. Even though he has never been to Latin America, our people respect him very much."

Since then, Liu Jun and his team also met many ladies and gentlemen in the corridor.

They either beckoned or whispered a few words, or glanced sympathetically, or nodded their greetings until he entered the conference room and sat down.

Time passed quietly.

The UN Secretary-General announced the start of the meeting.

Different from the previous atmosphere, the atmosphere in the venue this time was exceptionally solemn and serious.

When discussing some of the provisions of the Outer Space Treaty, those clauses that had previously taken Liu Jun's eyes to spend a lot of effort to persuade the majority to vote in favour were unexpectedly passed easily.

Perhaps it was out of simple respect.

Maybe everyone is unwilling to stimulate China who lost a great man at this time.

People are always easy to do irrational things when they are emotionally excited. This pattern is also the same when it is projected on the country. Many messages are now being transmitted, is it what happened in the relics, People of this kind have been mixed into the diplomatic corps of human civilization.

Smart people know that this is unlikely.

But letting public opinion continue to get out of control, it is difficult to guarantee that this will not be a vent of some kind of emotion.

The meeting went smoothly and was even completed an hour ahead of schedule.

At this time, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Olcott, stood up and proposed that the last hour of the meeting be reserved for a person who opened the curtain of the space age and a scholar who influenced the world.

Then, representatives of more than 20 countries have spoken. In their seats, they paid the highest respect to Academician Lu who had been killed, and expressed their deep condolences and regrets to China and the people of China. In a minute of silence, he stood up solemnly.

After the meeting.

In the afternoon.

The United Nations flag on United Nations Plaza was slowly lowered in half by a group of guards of honor wearing black dresses.

To mourn a great man in this way is quite rare in the history of the United Nations since its establishment, and it has happened only 17 times in total.

Looking at the lowered banner, Liu Jun, who was standing by the side of the road, was silent for a long time.

In the end, he sighed and turned to leave.

...

Jinling High-tech Park.

In an apartment not far from Xingkong Technology headquarters, the curtains of a room were tightly closed.

Chen Yushan curled up on the sofa, holding her knees around her shoulders with a sheet, staring indifferently at the piece of voucher depicting a beautiful legend on the wall.

She still remembers that it was a snowy day.

He had just completed the theory of hyperspace, and he had no restraint as an adult. He was excited like a 17-year-old child and shared her joy at the time.

She still remembers everything he said then.

"... I want to give you a gift on Valentine's Day."

"... I'm not surprised to tell you now."

"... you'll know when Valentine's Day comes."

The pupils were suddenly moist.

Tears fell indisputably.

Her lips trembled softly, and she murmured softly from her lips.

"con man……"

Obviously, they will get married by the end of the year.

Obviously, he will come back.

Obviously, there will be legends belonging to them on Tiancang Five ...

"Sister ... you eat something."

"..."

Looking at the quilt that did not respond, Han Mengqi sighed.

After hearing the bad news from Mars, she felt very uncomfortable, especially when she saw that her closest sister had become what she is now, and she even wished that she was there ...

"Let's open the window ... you'll keep yourself closed and not ventilated, and you'll get sick."

The quilt curled up on the sofa remained unanswered.

However, this also means that there is no objection.

Thinking of this, Han Mengqi went to the window and opened the curtains.

The evening light shone into the house from the window, and although it was faint, it still dispelled a lot of darkness. Han Mengqi couldn't help feeling the emotion of watching the sunset that gradually stretched out of the window and the night that was about to fall soon.

She came here probably in the morning.

Unexpectedly, it was already here.

No vehicles can be seen on the street in the distance.

Today, there seems to be some mourning activities. No whistle is banned throughout the city, and no traffic is allowed on all sections of the university town and high-tech parks.

Just as she was thinking about it, a group of people in black and holding candles in her hand appeared in her field of vision, walking slowly along the wide street.

There are men and women in the team, young and old. Traffic police and policemen in yellow-green vests walked on both sides of the road, and many people held and held them in their hands, silently escorting the team forward.

Everything is so harmonious.

It's just that sad atmosphere, some of which can't help tears.

Perhaps something attracted attention, and the eyes curled up in the sheets slowly moved towards the window. The moment she saw the sun that hadn't been seen for a long time, her eyes couldn't help being stabbed by the light, and her eyelashes were subconsciously lifted.

Through the gap of her eyelashes, she saw the fire of stars outside the window.

A string in her heart was touched, and she opened her mouth and made a trembling and hoarse voice,

"That is……"

"It seems to be a mourning event organized by Jinling University ..." Recalling the previous notice sent by the school, Han Mengqi looking out the window whispered, "They should start from Jinda's library and go to the space launch center."

The silence lasted for a long time, just like the team that couldn't see the end.

At this time, the pale face suddenly pulled a faint smile.

"... It seems that he is very much loved by people."

Han Mengqi smiled embarrassedly.

"Of course ... he is a master after all. I heard yesterday that the United Nations lowered the flag for him."

Without him, there would be no controlled nuclear fusion, this high-tech park, and everything that China and the world have today.

As someone praises him.

His wisdom is the wealth of the Chinese people.

It is also the wealth of the world.

The distance between human civilization and the future has never been so close. He has been fighting for a great cause all his life, and people will always remember his name ...

Wiping the tears in the corner of her eyes, Chen Yushan took a deep breath.

The quilt wrapped around her shoulders slipped down, and in Han Mengqi's surprised eyes, the decadent and depressed look was swept away from her full face.

"... I need to cheer up a bit, too."

At this time, the one who should not be depressed is himself. He still has many wishes that have not been fulfilled.

And that beautiful legend ...

That was a story that should have been written by two people. If he stopped writing, then he should complete the unfinished exploration for him.

Silently determined in his heart, Chen Yushan's pupils regained their former glory.

At least, you can't shame him ...
