Dreaming about space

Chapter 2 Miracle Baby
Before seeing the recruitment notice, Fang Yuan just had no idea.

The moment I saw the notice, I immediately became blind.

In the title, he couldn't see the three-dimensional brightening [There is no return].

There are so many words in the subtitle, but they are only condensed into the sparkling "Passing Mars".

This is the clarion call of dreams, so beautiful.

Summer flowers are not so gorgeous, and shooting stars are not so romantic.

Seeing that Ling Chi's dream, which had been executed two years ago, still had a chance to revive, Fang Yuan took the computer that the older generation used for nostalgia, clicked on the details and started to check it out.

Condition 2050: Born after January 1, 1, and already an adult.

(Tick this one.)
Condition [-]: Have learning and scientific research capabilities independent of the gene-assisted brain system.

(This is marked √√. Could it be that this is a custom-made clause? I would like to ask, who else meets this birth condition and has never even seen what the Brain Group looks like?)
Condition [-]: Willing to dedicate all of his scientific research results to human exploration of the unknown universe.

(This is marked √√√. As long as the experimental version of the brain is installed on Yuan Datou, he can dedicate his whole life. Believe it or not!)

Yuan Datou is another nickname of Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan prefers the nickname given to him by this classmate to Miracle Baby.

This is the ultimate compliment, praising him for having a larger-than-average brain.

It’s definitely not some homophonic meme left over by people from the 2020s.

If he were to view this notice in the brain group, Fang Yuan would click on the base group qualification review without hesitation.

Too bad he didn't.

You can only manually prepare your resume and other materials according to the details of the recruitment notice, and then submit it for manual qualification review.

When submitting, an interactive box will pop up asking for the reasons for applying to participate in this special project with no return.

Fang Yuan filled in casually - [I have a date with Mars].

Growing up, Fang Yuan had done this kind of thing no less than eight hundred times, and the time was compressed to less than eight seconds.

Switching to a slightly more popular recruitment, these extra eight seconds are the sound of broken dreams.

The four three-dimensional characters "There is no return" dancing vigorously in the interactive box gave him enough confidence.

Except for orphans like him whose brains and bodies have been separated for a long time, there probably aren't many people who would be willing to bet the rest of their lives on passing by Mars.

Less than eight seconds later, Fang Yuan received a confirmation reminder from the manual review side.

Look, with this response speed, if more than one person signs up for review, he can do it without changing his name!
[The application materials have been received. We are sorry to inform you that although this trip will pass through Mars, it will not land. Please complete this romantic interstellar date through the Mars Immigration Plan. 】

Are you kidding me about Mars?
Can't land?

Then what the hell?
Wait, is he being rejected?
Who gave him the right to kick his long-broken dream into a ball?

Fang Yuan was so angry that he located the location where the recruitment notice was posted and went directly there.

Young people these days have things to do and seldom come to visit.

There is no procedure that a genetically assisted brain panel cannot verify remotely.

Two hours later, Fang Yuan arrived at the other side of the world, an office building with more than 300 floors and a height of more than 1500 meters.

In 2070, with the development of aerospace technology, the earth has achieved global reach in one hour.

The shortest distance between any two points on the earth is no more than half a circle.

The time it takes for a low-Earth orbiting spacecraft to circle the Earth is 1.5 hours.

1.5 hours ÷ 2 = 45 minutes, this is the average time.

If you happen to be traveling against the direction of the earth's rotation, the point-to-point delivery time can be shortened to 30 minutes.

The reason why Fang Yuan spent two hours was that apart from the acceleration and deceleration time required to leave and re-enter the atmosphere, it was mainly used to make himself look like a dog.

After all, he didn't remember to take a shower for two years.

The lobby on the first floor seemed to be more than 50 meters long. The huge space was empty.

"Hey, the commercial space agency's doorman robot failed to recognize the base set information of the visitor. Please check the operation of the gene-assisted brain set."

I'm a base group for you, a base group!
If I don’t show off my power, do you really think I’m the one being taken advantage of?
Fang Yuan couldn't stand others talking to him about the basic group.

Not even a robot.

He walked inside regardless, and soon alerted a large wave of guard robots.

After a stalemate for a while, someone who looked like a staff member came out.

Before anyone could say anything, Fang Yuan asked first: "Since we have passed through Mars? Why didn't we land again?"

This is nonsense, and the staff member who was asked looked confused: "I'm sorry, the Commercial Space Agency has not opened Mars tourism yet. Each batch of Mars immigrants is selected by the Mars Immigration Plan, and the specific immigration conditions are, You can check it out at the Human Space Immigration Bureau.”

"What the hell kind of regulations." Fang Yuan was stung again, "A family must have at least three children before one of them can be qualified to immigrate to Mars. It's already 2070, don't say I have no father or mother, even if I have , whose parents still give birth to children one after another?"

【Turns out he is an orphan!No wonder it’s so...]

The staff adjusted and responded as patiently as possible: "If you have any questions about the Mars immigration plan, I suggest you go to the Human Space Immigration Bureau."

Seeing the staff's lack of enthusiasm, Fang Yuan took out an application form from his pocket and handed it over.The staff member glanced at the antique paper and said: "Oh, do you want to participate in this special project just released? This is relatively simple. If you have any questions, you can submit them in the direct brain group."

"If I had a brain, would I still come here?"

Normally, Fang Yuan was not so irritable. In fact, this staff member stepped on his pain points with every word.

"do not have it?"

The staff looked Fang Yuan up and down, and it looked like he was not old enough for the Pratt & Whitney Brain Group.

Then I thought about it, just because the doorman robot did not find the brain tissue or any other electronic identification information on the visitor, it didn't know how to further process it and trigger a manual alarm.

After understanding why the doorman robot was in chaos, the staff explained: "This recruitment is a bit special. We do not accept applications from people without brains."

"Please tell me, in the announcement you sent out, which one says that you can't apply if you don't have a brain group?"

"It's like this. Our recruitment is originally targeted at qualified brain groups."

The staff member looked over the paper Fang Yuan brought over and looked at it over and over again, and said in confusion: "Logically speaking, you shouldn't receive this notification."

Seeing that the staff did not mean to be perfunctory, Fang Yuan also corrected his attitude: "I am the only big sister with a kind heart and a beautiful heart, so please be accommodating."

"If you don't have a brain group, you may not know it. Within two hours of the announcement, more than [-] people had signed up through the brain group. There were also more than a thousand people who qualified for the primary group."

This time it was Fang Yuan's turn to be shocked: "How is it possible? How can so many people risk their lives just to go to Mars?"

"At the beginning, there were very few people who signed up. However, half an hour after the announcement was released, the base group encyclopedia had already analyzed that the old man who wanted to accompany him was the founder of the Mars immigration plan."

When talking about this, Fang Yuan's attitude couldn't get any better: "Old Man Liang?"

The staff member glanced at Fang Yuan and was a little dissatisfied with the disrespect in his tone: "I suggest you call the chief designer Mr. Liang."

"I don't care about Mr. Liang or Mr. Liang, just tell me, since we have passed through Mars, why didn't we land?"

"That's right, because the Mars Immigration Law stipulates that anyone who lands on Mars cannot leave within ten years. The chief designer is no exception to this."

Seeing the staff's abiding by the law, Fang Yuan calmed down again.

Yes, what Mars lacks most is population.

Anyone who lands on Mars must devote ten years of breathing on it.

You can get something for nothing, and the colorless and odorless Mars energy block can be filled for life.

You can lie down and camp anywhere in the Martian human gathering area with constant temperature and humidity.

This is the Mars in official propaganda. It sounds like he can do whatever he wants as long as he doesn't kill people or slander Mars.

"Then if that's the case, why do you have to write about passing by Mars? If you didn't write about it, I wouldn't even come here."

Fang Yuan was very unwilling.

"Because Mr. Liang wants to see it with his own eyes at the Mars Relay Station."

The Mars relay station is on the top of Wanhu Square, about 3000 meters above the ground of Mars. It is a bit like the embassy of the earth and the moon on Mars. After this relay station, it is considered the airspace of Mars.

"Don't you always claim that it is impossible for anyone, under any circumstances, to obtain the privilege of traveling to Mars? How come you have arranged a special trip for Mr. Liang?"

Fang Yuan hated privileges very much because he didn't have any.

When he was a child, in order to go to the moon and implant his own brain, he would not hesitate to use his most hated identity as a "miracle baby" to act coquettishly, behave and wallow in front of the leaders who came to express condolences, and asked for special things to be done.

That was the first year in his memory and the only year in his memory that he received condolences from his leaders.

The staff didn't want to talk to Fang Yuan, so he repeated what he said before: "If you have any questions about the Mars immigration plan, I suggest you go to the Human Space Immigration Bureau."

Fang Yuan would not change himself because of the staff's attitude: "Please answer my question directly, why does Mr. Liang have special privileges?"

"To be precise, this is not a privilege, but a scientific research journey to explore the Milky Way. Mars is just a relay station for energy supply. After leaving Mars, this starship will fly away from the solar system and towards the unknown shore. "

"A scientific research trip, right? That's no problem. I have ancestral scientific research capabilities and meet all the application conditions. You have no reason not to pass my qualification review."

With that said, Fang Yuan handed the paper version of the application form to the staff.

Because grassroots workers in the 2070s rarely saw live people coming to do things in person, their attitudes were much better than those who were busy 50 years ago.

Seeing that Fang Yuan had to ask for an explanation, he gave up and pointed to the first item in the application conditions and responded directly: "You do not meet the age for recruitment."

"What's wrong? I was born on February 2050, 2."

Fang Yuan showed a rare paper version of his identity certificate.

This time, the staff was confused: "Then how come you don't have a brain set?"

"Then I suggest you look up the history of the Day of Mourning for Space Disasters."

The staff reacted for a long time. With the help of the brain group's analysis and Fang Yuan's statement that he had no parents but had ancestral scientific research abilities, he finally asked in disbelief: "So, you are the child left by Academician Dai Bingyan. That miracle baby?”

Because he didn't have a brain set, Fang Yuan lost a lot, but he also had more privacy than his peers.

As long as he doesn't take the initiative to expose himself, there will be almost no trace of this person on earth.
