Chapter 1672: Special Historical Relic

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After leaving the executive lounge, Lu Xiaoqiao felt dizzy.

It wasn’t because she drank alcohol or anything else. It was because everything she experienced today had really subverted her understanding of the world.

Yang Fangfang saw Lu Xiaoqiao come out of the hotel. She quickly stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and asked, “You... Are you okay?”

Lu Xiaoqiao did not speak. She just nodded begrudgingly.

Seeing the state of her best friend, Yang Fangfang couldn’t help but feel a little worried. She quickly asked, “What did he do to you?”

“Fangfang,” Lu Xiaoqiao said as she looked at her secretary and good friend. After being silent for a long time, she said, “Actually... I am a descendant of Academician Lu.”

Yang Fangfang was stunned and asked, “Weren’t you always?”

Lu Xiaoqiao shook her head. After hesitating for a long time, she confessed.

“I mean, not just a descendant, but a lineal descendant...”

Yang Fangfang: “???”

...

Recently, many major events happened around the world. Sensations popped up one after another, stuffing the public with news and gossip.

First was the breakthrough of warp speed technology, followed by the announcement of the joint initiative of the major regional alliances, then the success of the antimatter energy pile...

In comparison, who the descendants of Academician Lu were did not seem like major news.

But one thing caught the attention of the international financial markets.

Which was the high-profile purchase of the Alpha Centauri Colonial Exploration Foundation by Star Sky Technology some time ago, as well as the new company leader and the business reorganization.

After the reorganization of Star Sky Technology, it would be managed by Lu Xiaoqiao. The business operations had also changed from patent management to aerospace transportation company and would be mainly engaged in space trade and related technology research and development.

Although on the surface, this did not seem noteworthy, many people were aware that Lu Zhou renamed Noah’s Ark to Milky Way and set a planned voyage to Tau Ceti. People gradually felt the unusualness of these actions.

A route to a new world seemed to be looming in front of everyone.

The new era seemed to be full of infinite possibilities...

“One server... I have never seen such a strange order!”

Wu Jie, the captain of the starship Seagull, looked at the order list in his hand. He rubbed the stubble on his chin with his index finger. His face was full of curiosity.

Wei Yuanfang, the chief mate sitting next to him, grinned and spoke.

“What’s so strange about it? After so many years of aerospace transport, what haven’t you seen?”

“Technically, yes, but sending an old server to Mars and specifically chartering a transport ship, this is the first time I’ve seen something like this.” Wu Jie sighed softly. He stared at the order list as he said confusingly, “He doesn’t want to send anything else? Like freshwater or food or other consumables... If I remember correctly, industrial products like servers should be very cheap on Mars. The shipping cost alone is enough for him to buy another one.”

“Who knows?” Wei Yuanfang shrugged his shoulders and said in a chatty tone, “Maybe there is important information on the server.”

Wu Jie swiped his index finger in the air and turned off the holographic screen. He decided not to think about this problem anymore. He sighed as he spoke.

“Maybe.”

Ever since the launch of the starship Seagull, the two had been working together in this industry. They were old partners. Wu Jie always thought that he would live the same way, working with his old partner until retirement.

However, five years before his retirement, his old partner handed in a resignation letter in front of him...

Therefore, this was probably the last time they would work together.

After this voyage was over, Wei Yuanfang would get off the ship on Mars, enter Star Sky Technology for induction training, and would travel to the world outside the solar system on the Milky Way starship.

He said all of this to his old partner when they were drinking one time.

After paying the entry fee at the entrance of the interplanetary highway, Wu Jie thought for a moment as he looked at the approaching stargate. He then suddenly spoke.

“I remember you told me long ago that you are tired of living in groundhog day, and when you retire, you will find an island with a beautiful beach, where you can spend the rest of your life by the sea, drinking beer and listening to the waves.”

After hearing these words, Wei Yuanfang smiled and said, “I did say that... I didn’t expect you to remember.”

“Probably because life in space is so boring, I remember everything you said.” Wu Jie shrugged. After a moment of silence, he continued, “I thought that after you got off this ship, you would definitely retire, I did not expect you to choose a job that is less stable than ours.”

Wei Yuanfang shrugged.

“Maybe I am just such a person who has to stay busy.”

“Tau Ceti...” Wu Jie sighed emotionally as he put his arms on the control console. “I wonder if there are habitable planets there.”

Wei Yuanfang didn’t worry too much about this problem. He smiled heartily.

“We’ll know after we get there.”

Wu Jie was encouraged by the smile of his old friend. He also smirked a little as he reached out his hand and touched Wei Yuanfang’s shoulder.

“Well, since you say so, I won’t pour cold water on your dreams... I’ll be waiting for your postcard from the new world.”

Wei Yuanfang: “Deal!”

While they were talking, the Seagull had passed through the stargate and entered the hyperspace channel.

The starlight in space stretched into long and narrow silver lines.

Wu Jie felt the rising gravitational force. He leaned on the cushion seat, closed his eyes, and rested for a while.

Soon, that feeling of discomfort disappeared. When he snapped back to reality, the spaceport floating in Mars orbit had already appeared in front of him.

“This era is making less and less sense...”

Wu Jie opened the automatic navigation program. Under the guidance of the spaceport control tower, he docked the Seagull with the spaceport in Mars orbit.

He got off the ship through the gangway and stood in front of the berth for a second. He glanced at the time on his watch and was about to call the customer and ask how long it would take for them to pick up the delivery. However, a person he never expected to see appeared in the ship docking area and was walking towards him.

“You are...” Wu Jie looked at the man in front of him with his eyes wide open. He opened his mouth; his face full of disbelief.

He didn’t expect that the man who came to collect the goods from him was actually this big man.

“I’m Lu Zhou,” Lu Zhou introduced briefly. He took out the order list from his personal terminal, gently pushed it in front of him, and said, “The thing I ordered, is it here?”

“It’s been delivered...” Wu Jie, who snapped back to reality, nodded quickly. He reached out his index finger and clicked on the order list, completing the delivery.

When he saw the one million credits sent to his account, he hesitated and finally couldn’t help but ask.

“Just out of curiosity, that server... is there anything special about it? Ah, of course, if it’s confidential, pretend like I didn’t ask...”

“It’s nothing special.” Lu Zhou smiled as he looked at the confused captain. He said casually, “You can think of it as a very special software.

“Or some kind of special historical relic.”
