Immediately, Rosen took out his mobile phone and pulled out a photo with James Ryan in the previous world.
At that time, both of them were wearing beautiful clothes from World War II. Their young faces were full of smiles, and behind them were the ruins of the bombing.
Mark was startled when he saw this photo, and immediately looked at him and said, "Is this you?"
"That's right." Rosen nodded.
"Who is the other person?" Mark pointed at Ryan and said: "He looks very similar to me."
Of course he is, it was originally played by the same person. Rosen thought in his heart, but said: "Maybe this is fate. I saved him in that world, and I saved you in this world. I don't know if I will go to other worlds to save another one who looks like you in the future." "
"So..." Mark looked at Rosen and asked tentatively: "You are not from this world?"
"Yes, I am just a passerby. , the person who came to save you." Rosen took back his cell phone, sat with him and took a few photos, and then said: "So no matter what bad things happened between us in the past, I hope you can follow me from now on. Leave this world and disappear."
"Rosen, can you not leave?" Mark asked, holding his arm.
"Can you not go home?" Rosen asked.
Mark was startled and let go of Rosen’s hand.
"I've only told you these things. It's up to you whether you want to tell others later." Rosen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mark, go take a shower and shave again." Shave yourself and go meet your teammates cleanly."
"Okay."
On Earth.
Whether it is Beijing, New York, London, or other places.
Almost everyone is paying attention to this rescue operation.
After spending tens of billions just to save one person, the United States once again gained a wave of favorability around the world.
Of course, China also took advantage of it. After all, if the National Space Administration had not selflessly given up the Helios booster, NASA would be spinning in circles and embarrassing itself.
Soon Mark was ready, put on a heavy spacesuit, and sat on the only remaining chair in the aircraft.
Rosen stood nearby, and it could be seen that he was a little nervous.
"Mark, as long as I'm here, nothing will go wrong." Rosen said.
"Yes." Mark nodded, seeming to feel relieved.
At this time, a woman's voice suddenly sounded inside the aircraft.
This is Bess-Johnson, who is far away on the Hermes, connecting the aircraft's communications and taking over its launch system.
"Fuel pressure is normal."
"Engine calibration is normal."
"There is no communication problem."
"Commander, We can conduct launch inspection."
Then Commander Melissa Lewis's voice sounded: "Commander-in-Chief, here.It's Hermes. We will execute it according to the original plan. There are still 2 minutes and 10 seconds left to launch. "
"About two minutes, Watney, how are you? ”
“Awesome. Mark's breathing was a bit rapid. "I can't wait to go up and see you. Thank you for coming back to save me." "
"You're welcome, it's about to start. Lewis said: "Remember, you will withstand many times the acceleration, and it is normal to faint. Martinez will control your spacecraft." "
"Tell him not to let the spacecraft flip around blindly. "Mark joked.
" Got it. "
Just when everyone thought Commander Lewis was about to end the call, what no one expected was that she said again: "Rosen, what about you? "
"I'm fine too. Rosen replied: "I will send Mark to you safely." "
"Okay, see you later. "
The pre-launch inspection then began.
When all the software and hardware equipment were ready, Louis asked: "Pilot. ”
“Ready. ”
“Received, we are ready to go. "
"Commander-in-Chief, we are ready to launch. "
"Countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7...3, 2, 1. ”
The bottom of the aircraft began to spit out flames, and a strong thrust directly enveloped Rosen and Mark in the cabin.
Mark was better lying on the chair, but Rosen was. Being pinned to the ground by this huge inertia
“This feels really exciting. "Rosen said.
"Haha..." Mark laughed to hide his nervousness at this time.
Not long after the aircraft took off, the tarpaulin covering the front end was covered by The wind pulled it down.
Thanks to the low density of the air on Mars, it is extremely thin at high altitudes. Otherwise, with the mouth open like this, the strong wind coming in would be enough to tear Rosen and Mark apart. .
When the aircraft reached an altitude of 1,843 meters, the booster separated.
Mark fainted because he could not bear the 12g acceleration, and Rosen felt slightly dizzy. Other than that, it’s nothing serious.
“Watney, did you receive it? "At this time, Commander Lewis called.
After receiving no response, she called again: "Rosen, did you receive it? "
"I'm here. Rosen glanced at Mark and said, "He is in good condition and sleeping peacefully." ”
“You are not high enough. "Commander Lewis said.
"How much difference? Rosen asked.
“68 kilometers. "Commander Lewis said: "We are thinking of a way. "
"Only 68 kilometers? ! You don't have to move. Rosen said: "We will go there soon." "
"Come here? Commander Lewis was startled and said, "Why are you here?" Rosen, don't be ridiculous. ”
"See you later." Rosen cut off the communication as he said it, and then reached out to lift the fainted Mark from his seat. He took out the M44 compass with his left hand, which never loses its direction, and thought to himself about the situation in the plot. The Hermes passed by, and then he saw the compass pointer suddenly deflecting in one direction.
Rosen immediately looked over there and activated the teleportation.
The next moment, he and Mark appeared in the vast universe 50,000 meters away.
He has not been idle for more than three hundred days, and his various skills have improved to a certain extent. Especially the teleportation has reached level 7, and it can be reached at any time within sight of 50,000 meters.
Rosen glanced at the compass in his hand again, adjusted the direction slightly, and continued to transmit.
Uh-huh.
The next time, Rosen appeared near the Hermes.
“Oh, God! How did they get here?”
“They appeared without warning, it was like magic.”
…
Everyone on the Hermes was stunned.
Chris Baker, who was waiting to pick up Mark at the open hatch, saw the scene where the two Rosens appeared most clearly, and his face was filled with disbelief.
When Rosen saw him, he immediately teleported to him and handed over the Mark in his hand.
At this moment, Mark woke up from a temporary coma. When he saw Chris, his face was full of astonishment, and he immediately hugged him tightly.
"How did you do it?" Chris Baker looked at Rosen and asked curiously.
"As long as I want to, I can do it naturally." Rosen replied with a smile, and then said: "Mark, you are home, my mission is completed, goodbye."
"Rosen, can I see you again in the future?" When Mark heard that he was leaving, he immediately lost his previous excitement and pulled him to ask.
"I don't know." Rosen said calmly: "It depends on fate, there will always be a chance to meet."
"Your adventure in this world is about to be completed, you can always Return." A prompt message floated into his field of vision appropriately. "If you want, you can stay for another 24 hours."
"No need." Rosen had no intention of staying any longer. He immediately waved goodbye to Mark and said immediately: "Return."
Uh-huh.
A ball of light rose up, and Rosen disappeared.
