Chapter 342 Space Station
Time flew by like a fleeting arrow. Today was the day they would all depart for the assessment site. Nangong Jingming led the team members to an early rise, packing their belongings, checking their equipment, and then they flew towards the desert outside Xinghai City. When they arrived at their destination, they were astonished by the sight before them.
Above this vast desert, a vast and majestic space station looms. Like a steel behemoth, it hovers silently in the sky, emanating a mysterious and powerful aura. Its surface gleams with a metallic sheen, and a variety of advanced equipment and instruments are neatly arranged atop it, demonstrating the advanced technology and formidable industrial strength of the interstellar world. Surrounding the station, massive starships are neatly arrayed, awaiting passengers. These ships are massive in size and unique in design, each a work of art, evoking the grandeur and magnificence of the interstellar world.
At this moment, many people who had come to participate in the assessment had gathered around the space station. They came from different planets and races, wearing different clothes and with different expressions on their faces, but all of them revealed an atmosphere of tension and anticipation. Nangong Jingming and his companions also joined the queue to board the starship, quietly waiting for the moment to board.
"This starship is so huge, so huge! It's so spectacular!" Ye Xuexin stared up at the starship before him, his eyes wide open, his mouth wide with amazement. His face lit up with childlike excitement and curiosity, as if he had seen a new and magical toy. In his eyes, this starship was not just a means of transportation, but a symbol of interstellar technology and civilization, which filled him with a deeper awe and yearning for this unfamiliar world.
"Okay, stop looking so surprised. Others might think you're a bumpkin!" Feng Bolin couldn't help but pat Ye Xuexin on the shoulder, jokingly saying, "Alright, stop looking so surprised!" His eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and fondness. Although he was teasing, he was also deeply moved by the sheer magnificence of the starship.
"Alas, we're just country bumpkins, I have to admit it!" Ye Xuexin scratched his head, a simple smile on his face. He knew his behavior was a bit off-putting, but he didn't care. In his opinion, admitting one's shortcomings is not shameful; what matters is continuous learning and improvement, adapting to this new world.
"Alright, you can continue being your bumpkin. I'm leaving first!" Feng Bolin smiled and shook his head, ignoring Ye Xuexin and quickening his pace. He knew this was no time for jokes. They were about to face a tough test, and they had to remain calm, focused, and fully prepared.
"Hey, wait for me!" Ye Xuexin suddenly came to his senses and realized that his companions had already moved on. He hurriedly quickened his pace, shouting as he struggled to squeeze through the crowd, trying to catch up with them. His anxious look was like a child afraid of being abandoned, and he looked a little embarrassed in the crowd.
"I thought you were going to continue to stare blankly there!" Feng Bolin looked back at Ye Xuexin with amusement on his face and couldn't help but jokingly said. His eyes flashed with a teasing glint, but he didn't stop and continued to walk at a leisurely pace.
"Xue Xin, you have to adapt as soon as possible, otherwise I don't want to admit that we are a team. It's too embarrassing!" Luo Jingzhong also laughed. There was a hint of joking in his tone, but his eyes were looking at Ye Xue Xin, his eyes full of smiles.
"Go on, what's wrong with me? I'm adapting well!" Ye Xuexin said, his face flushed, a little unconvinced. He felt quite wronged. He was just too surprised, so he lost his composure. These guys, on the other hand, kept making fun of him and laughing at his joke.
"Yes, yes, you've adapted well. Don't stare at Ye Xuexin with such surprise. It's too ugly." Meng Weigang joined in the teasing. He laughed even harder at Ye Xuexin's expression. His words made the people around him laugh too, and for a moment, laughter spread throughout the group.
"Speaking of me, aren't you surprised?" Ye Xuexin asked incredulously. He felt his reaction was normal. After all, anyone would be shocked by such a massive space station. He didn't believe anyone else could be much calmer than him.
"We were surprised, but not as obviously as you!" Luo Jingzhong said with a smile. How could they not be surprised? This space station was truly enormous, its scale far beyond their imagination. Its size was almost comparable to a city in their hometown. When they first saw the space station, their shock was no less than Ye Xuexin's, but they didn't show their surprise as much as Ye Xuexin did.
"Hmph, you hypocrites! I'm being genuine." Ye Xuexin curled his lips and ignored them. As he walked, he couldn't help but glance around, his eyes filled with curiosity. He was like an explorer who had entered a treasure cave, filled with a desire to explore everything around him. This massive space station was like a mysterious behemoth, and every corner seemed to hide countless secrets, waiting for him to discover.
"Haha, that's the good of being young!" Su Sheng couldn't help but burst into laughter at their jokes. His laughter was hearty and resounding, standing out in the crowd. Looking at these young people, he seemed to see his own youth, that vibrant energy and curiosity, which he missed so much.
"That's right, these young people are full of energy and curiosity," Ji Mei said with a smile. Her eyes revealed a hint of kindness, and she looked at these young people as if they were her own children. In her eyes, young people's curiosity is a precious treasure. It is precisely because of this curiosity that they can continue to explore the world and learn new knowledge.
"We'll have no regrets in our lives for being able to see this once!" Su Shiqian said with emotion, holding his wife's hand. His eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction and gratitude. At their age, the opportunity to travel to interstellar space and see such a magnificent space station was something they had never dared to imagine. It made them deeply appreciate the vastness of the universe and the greatness of human technology.
