"Mark, this is Vincent Capol. We have been following you since the 54th Sol. The whole world is supporting you. Great job finding Pathfinder. We are working hard to plan a rescue. Plan, and we are preparing a supply mission to ensure that you are well fed and clothed until Ares 4 arrives."
Mark rubbed his fingers and started typing: "I'm glad to receive the letter. Both of them are very happy and looking forward to surviving and returning to Earth."
In the movie, because the camera switches back and forth, it seems that the two parties are communicating very smoothly.
But in fact, it took more than thirty minutes to go back and forth. For Rosen, who is accustomed to timely communication on WeChat, such communication efficiency is really painful.
"Mark, just talk about your own affairs. There is no need to mention me, so as not to affect your normal communication." Rosen reminded.
On Earth.
When the people at NASA received Mark’s message, they were very happy. But when Mark mentioned the name Rosen, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Damn, this Rosen must be a Chinese." Teddy waved his fist and said: "I must call Guo Ming later, I want to ask him, what exactly is this Rosen?" What kind of person is he?"
At this time, new information from Mark arrived again.
"How is the team? What did they say after they found out I was alive?
This sentence completely silenced NASA.
Because from the beginning, Teddy said that in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he did not tell his team members that Mark was still alive.
Now the people of the Mars exploration team headed by Commander Lewis are still in the dark. Guli.
After hesitating for a moment, Vincent finally replied: “We haven’t told the team that you are still alive. We have to keep them on task. By the way, who is Rosen? ”
Now Mark was extremely angry, and he immediately sent out a very high-fat output: “You still have the nerve to ask me who Rosen is, why is there no one?” Tell them I'm still alive? Are you all really sick? "
"Mark, watch your words, everything you type is broadcast live around the world. "
"Really? "Mark raised his eyebrows and decided to surprise NASA in front of people all over the world.
So he rubbed his hands and crackled out a long paragraph.
< p>......"Aren't you afraid that NASA will become angry and not care about your life or death? "Rosen watched all this, but did not say anything to stop it. At most, he just asked casually.
"What am I afraid of? At worst, I'll just eat and drink with you. Could it be that just based on the friendship between these two, you can still refuse to save me? Mark looked at Rosen and said, "If that doesn't work, I will defect to China directly and stop following the United States from now on. How about you help introduce me?" ”
“Damn, I have no choice.How about you, my wife? Rosen pointed his middle finger at him and said, "You Americans are so unscrupulous. If you have breasts, you're a mother. Bah!" ”
Mark knew he was joking, but he wasn’t angry.
After all, after being together for so long, he could certainly see how Rosen felt about Americans.
< p>However, he could also clearly feel that Rosen had a good impression of him, so he was willing to make such a joke with Rosen.In fact, he felt that Rosen was not wrong. Americans really have nothing to brag about when it comes to moral integrity, because they basically don’t have it, otherwise they wouldn’t play the savior in various movies to put money on their faces.
"What next? Rosen asked.
"Let's see and then talk." "Mark said this, and after a moment of silence, he said "Faq" again.
The 128th solar day.
"Now NASA can talk to me, they won't stay Damn, they want to upgrade every system in the hab, and they have a room full of people micromanaging my crops as much as possible, which is awesome! "
While drinking the millet porridge that Rosen had boiled until the rice grains almost melted, Mark curled his lips and said with a hint of irony: "They even want me to discuss it with you. Planning on coming to your greenhouse for a visit. "
"You agreed? ”
“No. Mark shook his head and said: "I asked them to contact the China National Space Administration and discuss the matter with you. I told them that when it comes to diplomatic matters, I, a little astronaut, am not qualified to intervene." ”
“Talented. "Rosen raised his thumbs at him.
Mark continued: "To be honest, I'm not too arrogant or anything. Am I considered the greatest botanist on this planet? Is your family one of the best farmers? "
Rosen looked at him, pointed between himself and him with his hands, finally nodded, and said sincerely: "Indeed, what you said is absolutely right. ”
“So, a bunch of rookies who may have never seen what the soil on Mars looks like, have what qualifications and courage do they have to point fingers at me?” Mark waved his hand and said: "Besides, when it comes to farming, you Chinese people are the best in the world in talent. With you by my side, I don't ask for advice and just listen to their nonsense. Am I sick?" ”
“I thank you for thinking so highly of me. "Rosen didn't expect that his half-truths would be taken seriously by him. Even though it was funny, he actually felt a little bit proud.
If the world is peaceful, we can live peacefully. , when it comes to farming and construction, who in the world can really compare with me in Great China?
It’s a pity...
Mark took a bite of the eight-treasure dish and said: " I love this dish. "
"If you like it, eat more, but drink more water later to avoid getting angry easily. "Rosen said casually.
"I have never understood, what is getting angry? "Mark asked curiously.
"This is a concept in Chinese medicine, and I study Western medicine. I don't know how to explain it to you. "Rosen didn't want to popularize this thing to Mark, otherwise he was afraid that he would go crazy.
Mark shrugged his shoulders and said: "Another big benefit of the dialogue with NASA is that I I'm getting emails again, what a big data transfer, just like I was on the Hermes, I even got one from the President. "
"And the coolest email I got was from the University of Chicago, my alma mater, and they said once you grow crops in a place, you've officially colonized it. "
Speaking of this, Mark looked at Rosen with a smile and said: "So technically speaking, we have colonized Mars. What do you think? ”
“Thinking? Rosen looked up at the top of his head, finally shook his head and said, "I don't dare to think about it." ”
Mark didn’t understand what he meant, and didn’t continue to ask. He just said: “Now we have left Neil Armstrong, who will only leave footprints, far behind.” . ”
“Also, there is another thing. Someone suggested that I send a photo next time I send a message. Mark pointed at himself and Rosen and said, "You and me, so... do you have any questions?" "
"No. "Rosen shook his head.
"I've been thinking about what kind of pose would make me look more handsome. Mark said: "But I'm not sure whether it would look good if we both wore spacesuits to take pictures." ”
