Chapter 1654: Leonard Was Ghosted

Tianzhou s.p.a.ce Station.

Vera, with a ticket in her hand, walked through the gangway along with the other pa.s.sengers on the s.h.i.+p and sat down in her seat.

This was the first time she sat on a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, as well as the first time she had set foot in s.p.a.ce. The sensation of her feet leaving the ground gave her a feeling of discomfort.

However, after thinking that she would accompany him to more distant places in the future, Vera took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and distracted herself by looking around to make herself look less nervous.

“It seems that more people are going to Mars recently.”

Vera, who was trying to distract herself, subconsciously looked over when she heard the voice coming from the side.

A foreign girl with a baseball cap and blonde hair was sitting there. She looked a little older than Vera, and her eyes had a powerful, confident gaze, which made people feel pressured.

Not knowing how to answer this, Vera nodded and agreed with an uncertain tone.

“It… seems like so.”

“After all, the war is over, and they are also known as the land of opportunity. There should be many people with dreams who want to go there… I wonder what changes the Pan-Asian Cooperation’s direct management will bring.” Looking at Vera, who had a bewildered look on her face, Anderina paused for a second. She then said with a grin, “Sorry, habit of my profession, I’m sure you’re not interested in this.”

“No, I’m actually quite interested…” Vera blinked and cast her curious gaze. “Are you a reporter?”

“Anderina, editor-in-chief of Le Monde, also a future novelist.” She smiled and reached out her right hand. Anderina looked at Vera and said in a friendly tone, “It’s nice to meet you… Are you from the Slavic Union?”

“No…” Vera shook her head gently while shaking Anderina’s hand. She said, “I am a resident of the Pan-Asian Cooperation.”

“Pan-Asian Cooperation? It is not easy to get their citizens.h.i.+p.” Anderina’s expression suddenly became dubious. She teased the little girl, “I see, it seems that your husband is a Pan-Asian.”

Vera’s cheeks were slightly warm. She opened her mouth to explain, but she didn’t know what to say, so she finally closed her mouth.

Suddenly, there was a tremor under their feet.

The tremor made Vera nervous. But Anderina, who was sitting next to her, was accustomed to it. There was no change in the look on her face.

“Don’t be nervous, this always happens when a pa.s.senger s.p.a.cecraft starts up… Is this your first time to Mars?”

“Technically, my first time in s.p.a.ce.” Vera leaned on the seat nervously. Her little hand was grasping the seat belt tightly as she quickly asked, “Is this really fine?”

“Don’t worry. It has been so many years, and Pan-Asian Airlines has never had a s.p.a.cecraft crash… Well, I should probably not say that out loud. Anyway, your worries are unnecessary.” The pa.s.sengers nearby looked over at Anderina, making Anderina embarra.s.sed. She then took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Vera. “This is my business card. If you have any difficulties on Mars, you can call my phone.”

There were not many people that still used paper business cards in this era, but they were not completely absent. Anderina was one of them. Part of it was because of professional reasons while the other part was because of habit.

Vera: “Thank you…”

“You’re welcome.” Anderina brushed her hair and grinned. “I like helping cute and polite girls. By the way, I still don’t know your name.”

“Ah, sorry.” Vera blushed when she suddenly remembered that she hadn’t introduced herself yet. “My name is Vera Pulyuy…”

“Ms. Pulyuy? That’s a good name.”

Anderina felt like this name seemed a bit familiar, as if she had heard or seen it somewhere.

But Anderina didn’t think too much, because soon she was going to see her idol; the man called the pinnacle of the human mind. Right now, she must utilize every minute and every second to perfect the interview ma.n.u.script.

In London, tens of thousands of kilometers away, a skinny and young professor with curly hair, who was wearing a beige s.h.i.+rt, was pacing back and forth in his office. He frequently cast his gaze at the watch on his left wrist.

“These d.a.m.n French guys… I knew that punctuality is a joke to them. Wait a minute, f*ck, does that make me an idiot for being on time?”

Leonard looked at the watch repeatedly. He gritted his teeth angrily, but there was nothing to do.

Prior to this, he had contacted more than a dozen media outlets, but apart from Le Monde, none of them were interested in his research results.

Leonard bet that they didn’t even finish reading his paper.

Also, some small media outlets had actively contacted him, but when they suggested that they wanted to make minor amendments to his paper to make it look “more interesting”, he angrily turned them away.

“These guys… What do they think science is?”

The scheduled time had come.

There was not a single person nearby.

Not only did the reporters not come, but he didn’t even receive a call.

Leonard tried to call Ms. Anderina, who was in charge of interviewing him, but the call was sent to voicemail.

“Okay, I get it, it seems like they’re not coming today…”

Leonard walked to the back of the desk and sat down on the chair.

He felt like he was marginalized in this university. No one cared about his research results, nor did they care about what kind of prosperous civilization existed before humans on Mars.

Every time he talked about this matter, people’s reactions were, without exception, shock and ridicule.

And when he wanted to go into another direction, to get attention through the support of the media and the public, the reaction of the media outlets discouraged him.

However…

Despite this, he still did not give up.

When his gaze fell on the bottle placed on the bookshelf, a confident smile appeared on his face.

Inside the bottle was a fossil.

Its history was quite interesting.

He found the fossil in his pocket when he left the Yangtze River Delta city group.

It was obvious that Lu Zhou must have put it there. Because he knew very well that on that terrible trip to Mars, there was no time to pick up any stones. Forget about collecting fossils, he almost turned into a fossil himself.

Everything he did was because of this stone.

The fighting spirit rekindled in his pupils, and his whole face regained confidence.

Soon, he could fulfill his father’s last wish…
