In 2005, the China Solar Project was launched, and Lu Hai served as the chief scientist of the China Solar Project.

In the same year, Halo Aerospace officially announced to the public that it will build the first manned exploration spacecraft in the star system in human history based on the Chinese solar project to explore extrasolar stars.

This plan was named the Ark Project by Pang Xuelin.

At the same time, Transwarp Group also announced that Chairman Pang Xuelin will serve as the commander-in-chief of this plan, and will be one of the astronauts of this spaceship together with his wife Mu Qingqing.

The news quickly caused a violent shock in the outside world.

Almost the global media have focused their attention on this most ambitious and large-scale exploration operation in human history.

Pang Xuelin took this opportunity to convene the world's top aerospace engineering experts, astronomers, mathematicians, physicists, chemists, biologists, etc. to make suggestions for the Ark project.

In the next few years, Transwarp Group developed rapidly around the world, and successively completed breakthroughs in 4G and 5G technologies.

The ICT industry chain with Huawei, HiSilicon, Yahoo, Penguin, Google, and Transwarp as the core has a global layout.

At the same time, Transwarp Energy took the opportunity to launch the world's first lithium-air battery, which has an energy storage density ten times that of ordinary lithium batteries, triggering a global energy revolution once again.

The Star Ring Group provides a steady stream of power for China's economic development, and at the same time provides a large amount of financial support for the Ark Project.

In 2007, China Sun was officially launched into space. After a year of intense debugging, China Sun was officially launched on the eve of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

At the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the Chinese sun cast sunlight on Beijing at night for the first time, adding some fantastic colors to this Olympic Games.

In September of the same year, the first batch of components of the Ark spacecraft was launched by the space shuttle, and the Ark project officially entered the construction stage.

The total area of ​​the solar sail of the Ark spacecraft is more than 100,000 square kilometers, which is more than three times that of the Chinese solar project.

On the day when the solar sail of the Ark spacecraft was launched, Pang Xuelin and the chief scientist of the China Solar Project wore spacesuits and walked on the mirror of the China Solar Project.

The huge mirror reflects the blue earth. Pang Xuelin and Lu Hai stepped on the mirror with their heads resting on the earth. Everything around them gave people a dreamlike feeling.

Not far away, mirror farmers in spacesuits are nervously busy on the surface of the nano-mirror film.

Due to the long-term blowing of the solar wind, the surface of the Chinese sun is easily covered with a layer of particle dust, resulting in a decrease in the reflectivity of the nano-mirror film.

Because of this, the Chinese Solar Engineering Headquarters decided to recruit people to do mirror cleaning on the surface of the nano-mirror film. These people are called mirror farmers.

"Mr. Pang, the performance of the spidermen you recommended is much better than I expected."

Lu Hai said to Pang Xuelin with a smile through the communication device built into the spacesuit.

The work of these mirror farmers is very simple, and they even tend to be manual labor. The only difficult thing is how to control their body posture under weightless conditions.

The original plan of the China Solar Engineering Headquarters was to recruit students majoring in aerospace from various colleges and universities. After certain training, they would go to space to do cleaning work for the China Solar Project.

But this idea was rejected by Pang Xuelin. In Pang Xuelin's words, most of the mirror farmers need to pay is manual labor.

Therefore, there is no point in wasting intellectual resources on this project.

In the end, according to Pang Xuelin's suggestion, the Chinese Sun Command recruited a group of spidermen who specialize in cleaning the glass of the building, and went to the sky to clean the surface of the nano-mirror film.

The results showed that these spiders performed well and lived up to Pang Xuelin's expectations.

Pang Xuelin smiled lightly and said: "The aerospace industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and the public's enthusiasm for the space industry has exceeded a lot. We need to allow more ordinary people to participate in the construction of the space industry, and not let the space industry just become a space industry. Toys for scientists and engineers..."

Lu Hai nodded, and said with a smile: "Mr. Pang, you are right, but if you want to talk about the public's enthusiasm for the aerospace industry, the Ark Project you proposed is indispensable..."

In fact, after the Ark Project was put forward, it changed the global competition pattern in a sense.

The stellar system manned exploration project, such a majestic aerospace project, suddenly became eclipsed by the planetary landing plans of European and American countries.

People and the media almost all over the world have focused their attention on this project.

Among the aerospace powers, they also unconsciously shift more budgets from the military field to the aerospace field.

In recent years, the rapid development and expansion of the Star Ring Group has enabled China to take the lead in this round of industrial revolution.

In particular, the lithium-air battery project launched by Xinghuan Energy smashed the Bretton Woods system led by the United States and the oil circulation of the dollar to pieces.

New productive forces need new production relations to adapt to.

The arrogance hidden deep in the hearts of Western countries does not allow a backward country in their eyes to catch up and surpass itself step by step.

Therefore, after the Ark plan was proposed. All major powers and economic entities in the world have proposed various star system exploration plans accordingly.

The public's enthusiasm for the aerospace industry has reached the highest level since the United States landed on the moon.

Especially when Pang Xuelin recruited volunteers for the Ark Project, he received a total of more than 15 million valid registrations worldwide, and Pang Xuelin only needed to find 20 volunteers among the 15 million people. qualified crew members.

At this time, Pang Xuelin and Lu Hai walked along the mirror surface of the Chinese sun and walked to the edge unknowingly.

In the distant void, a bright star that was moving appeared faintly.

"coming!"

Lu Hai looked ahead and said excitedly.

The brightness of the stars suddenly began to rise rapidly, and the surrounding halo also rapidly increased.

Because of the angle, the star gradually became a spindle shape, and finally, a silvery oval object appeared in the void.

"The solar sail of Ark 1 was launched successfully!"

"Successful!"

Lu Hai was a little excited.

Whether it is Ark One or the Chinese Sun, the core materials of these two projects all come from the nano-mirror film he invented.

Because of this, Lu Hai has the feeling of watching his own children grow up step by step for both of them.

Pang Xuelin was not as excited as Lu Hai. He looked up at the planet embedded in the night sky like a sapphire, feeling slightly dazed.

The successful deployment of the Ark 1 solar sail means that it is one step closer to leaving the earth.

But at this time, Pang Xuelin felt a faint feeling of reluctance.

He rarely felt this way.

Most of the worlds I experienced before were always in crisis. Pang Xuelin didn't have this at all and almost built a social network.

Those who really deserve his memory are those women who have been with him all the time.

But in this world, he walked step by step, built a huge business empire with his own hands, and made countless relatives and friends.

For a moment, Pang Xuelin felt a little nostalgic for the world he was about to leave.

At this moment, a call from the China Sun Command and Control Center suddenly sounded in Pang Xuelin's headset.

"Mr. Pang, there's an emergency call from the ground, and it's from Madam."

Pang Xuelin was slightly taken aback, and said, "Connect!"

Soon, the communication channel switched, and Mu Qingqing's eager voice sounded in the earphone.

"Alin, Third Uncle...Third Uncle is dying, come back quickly!"

Pang Xuelin couldn't help but tighten his heart, and said: "Okay, I'll go back right away!"

The third uncle was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis five years ago. This disease has another name, that is, ALS.

The condition is caused by the degeneration of motor neurons in the central nervous system that control skeletal muscles.

As the upper and lower motor neurons degenerate and die, the muscles gradually weaken and atrophy. Eventually, the brain completely loses the ability to control voluntary movements.

Eventually it can cause problems with speech, swallowing, and breathing.

The disease doesn't necessarily affect a patient's higher-order neural activity like Alzheimer's disease does; instead, patients with advanced disease can maintain clear thinking, memory, personality, and intelligence from before the onset of the disease.

And 90% to 95% of the disease has no known cause.

About half of cases are caused by two specific genes. It causes the death of neurons that control voluntary muscles. Diagnosis of the disease is based on testing of individual symptoms and signs to rule out other possible causes.

Moreover, there is no cure for this disease so far, and riluzole can prolong life by about 2 to 3 months.

Non-invasive ventilation therapy can improve the patient's quality of life and prolong life.

The average survival period of patients from disease onset to death is 3 to 4 years.

Only 10% of patients survive for more than ten years, and very few survive for 50 years or more. Most patients died of respiratory failure.

In the past few years, my third uncle has had a hard time.

Although Pang Xuelin found the best doctor in the world for him, he still couldn't help Third Uncle slow down the progress of his illness.

At first, the third uncle just couldn't walk, and he had to breathe for a while after walking a few steps.

After a while, the third uncle couldn't walk at all because of the curvature of his spine, and he could only come out in a wheelchair every day to get some fresh air.

Later, he couldn't use chopsticks anymore, and he was a little clumsy with a spoon.

Every time I eat, I can only bury my head very low so that the spoon in my hand can reach my mouth.

He often babbles a few mouthfuls before taking a break, which is really exhausting, and he sweats profusely after a meal.

This time, before Pang Xuelin went to China Sun, his third uncle had already been admitted to the intensive care unit.

If the launch mission of Ark 1 was not too important, it would be impossible for Pang Xuelin to board the aerospace plane to the Chinese sun.

Twenty-four hours later, when Pang Xuelin returned to the ground and hurried to the hospital, he had already received news that his third uncle had turned the corner.

This relieved him.

If he didn't see his third uncle for the last time, Pang Xuelin would regret it for the rest of his life.

When Pang Xuelin walked into the ward, Shuiwa brother Feng Wanying was there, and Mu Qingqing was carefully feeding the third uncle.

Seeing Pang Xuelin coming in, the third uncle looked very happy, shook his head vigorously, expressing that he didn't want to eat, and then said to Pang Xuelin: "Lin Wazi, you...you come here. Shuiwa, you, Wanying and Qingqing are all going out one time……"

Shui Wa, Feng Wanying, and Mu Qingqing looked at each other and nodded.

Soon, only Pang Xuelin and the third uncle were left in the ward.

"Third Uncle..."

Came to the hospital bed and sat down, holding third uncle's withered hand.

The third uncle panted heavily, and said with difficulty: "Lin Wazi, third... third uncle has suffered all his life, and when he gets old, he can... be able to enjoy happiness with you. This life... this life is worth it... ..."

"It's just...it's just that there's only one... one thing I can't let go of."

"Third Uncle, what's the matter, tell me."

"Lin Wazi, I...I heard from others that you...you are going to take Qingqing...to a far, far place, I know...I know you have great ambitions, but I still hope... I hope that you and Qingqing can leave a queen for our old Pang's... old Pang's family, and I count... and I don't feel ashamed of you... Your parents entrusted you back then."

Pang Xuelin's nose was a little sore, and he tried to put on a smile and said, "Third Uncle, I...I promise you, I will definitely have a baby with Qingqing."

"Then... that's good!"

The light in Third Uncle's eyes gradually faded away.

The gasping sound gradually disappeared.

"Third Uncle! Third Uncle!!!"

Pang Xuelin couldn't help sobbing.

...

Half a month after the third uncle's funeral, Pang Xuelin took Mu Qingqing to Chang'an to visit Mu Donglai.

Mu Donglai is already in his early seventies, with gray hair, but in good spirits.

He has already retired from Chang'an Jiaotong University. Pang Xuelin originally discussed with Mu Qingqing to take him to the manor in Lancheng to spend his later years in peace, but unfortunately he refused.

So the two simply bought a villa for Mu Donglai near Chang'an Jiaotong University.

Pang Xuelin and Mu Qingqing were not too worried about Mu Dong feeling lonely back and forth.

After Pang Xuelin and Mu Qingqing got married, they found a wife with a similar personality for Mu Donglai. The two lived together for more than ten years, and their lives were very enjoyable.

Except for occasionally nagging Pang Xuelin and Mu Qingqing to have a baby quickly, Mu Donglai seldom disturbed Pang Xuelin and Mu Qingqing.

It's just that when Pang Xuelin came over this time, he unexpectedly discovered that besides Mu Donglai, old men such as Ren Zhengfei, Ni Guangnan, and Huang Zaixing were also at Mu Donglai's house.

Currently, Ren Zhengfei has retired from Warwick, and Li Yinan took over as CEO of Warwick.

And Ni Guangnan also retired from HiSilicon Semiconductor early, and Hu Weiwu became the president of HiSilicon Semiconductor.

As for Huang Zaixing, the former boss of Xiangjiang society, he has become a well-known investment tycoon.

In recent years, he has been attacking the international market as Pang Xuelin's white glove, with fruitful results.

The assets under his name have already exceeded 50 billion U.S. dollars, and his total personal assets even surpassed Li Chaoren, who is known as the richest man on Hong Kong Island, and became a well-deserved Hong Kong tycoon.

After 2005, Pang Xuelin devoted all his energies to the Chinese Solar Project and the Ark Project. Huang Zaixing also retired and became a shopkeeper, handing over most of the assets in his hands to Liu Qi.
