"Very well."
Facing Luoqi's question, Lucy replied with a slight smile.
She had once stood on the rooftop of her apartment, gazing at the distant rocket launch base.
Every time she saw those rockets ascend, Lucy felt deeply moved.
She had always yearned for space, and although the tension of escaping this place was gone, that dream buried in her heart had not extinguished.
Now that Ascension Technology had its own space base, Lucy was naturally pleased.
Although it didn't seem quite the same as the launch base in her memory.
Compared to a rocket launch base, this place seemed more like an air force base?
Lucy didn't know much about these things, but she didn't care too much either.
Whatever Luoqi wanted to do, whatever field he wanted to develop in, all she had to do was support him.
"Let's go, I'll show you around here."
Luoqi took Lucy's hand and led her on a stroll through the base.
Lucy quietly watched the scenes unfolding at the launch site, letting Luoqi lead her.
Soon, Luoqi led Lucy to a corner of the launch site and stopped, not going any further.
Seeing Luoqi stop, Lucy looked at him with some curiosity.
Then Luoqi spoke.
"Lucy, do you still remember the promise I made to you before?"
Luoqi's words were soft, yet they exploded in Lucy's mind like thunder, causing her heart to tremble violently.
Luoqi might have made more than one promise to Lucy.
But here at the space base, the first thing Lucy thought of were the words Luoqi had said to her on the apartment rooftop.
He said he would take her to the Moon, that once he had a spaceship, he would take her on a journey through space, to many, many planets, for a space trip.
At the time, she thought Luoqi was very naive and very cute.
She thought he was just saying it casually to make her happy.
But later, he founded Ascension Technology, which gave her a glimmer of hope.
Could it be that one day what he said could really come true?
And as Ascension Technology grew stronger, Lucy felt more and more that all of this might happen one day.
But she had never mentioned this matter to Luoqi.
She would not influence Luoqi's decisions, much less childishly ask Luoqi to make changes or invest too much energy just to fulfill her past dream.
Although going to the Moon was no longer her lifelong goal since the threat from Arasaka was gone, how could she easily forget that beautiful wish that was once deeply hidden in her heart and lingered in her dreams.
She had just kept it buried in her heart and hadn't brought it up again.
Now that Luoqi brought it up again, Lucy's heart involuntarily began to beat faster.
Considering where they were, Lucy had already vaguely guessed the reason why Luoqi was saying these words.
Today, Luoqi brought her here, and looking at the scene of the base, Lucy had also fantasized that Luoqi would say this to her, saying that he would take her on a space trip.
She hoped all of this was true, hoped that Luoqi could really fulfill that promise, and hoped that they could have a beautiful and romantic interstellar journey.
And Luoqi's subsequent words confirmed Lucy's guess.
"I said I would take you to the Moon one day. I said that once I have a spaceship, we will take a space trip and go to many, many planets.
I asked you to give me some time, and now, the time is right," Luoqi said softly.
And along with Luoqi's words, a huge gate behind them slowly rose under the control of electricity.
A spaceship that only existed in science fiction works slowly appeared from behind the scene.
If you didn't say this was a spaceship that could roam the universe, perhaps normal people would think it was just a military fighter jet.
Because it didn't have a huge rocket, nor was it standing vertically on a launch platform.
Instead, it was parked on the ground just like a fighter jet, and even its shape was so similar.
All the technology currently on the market does not have the technology or vehicle that can escape the first cosmic velocity and fly into space in this form.
So no matter who came, they would not believe that this was a spaceship.
But Lucy believed it, because she knew Luoqi too well.
She knew that no matter what astonishing thing Luoqi brought out, it would be within reason.
And this spaceship was exactly what Luoqi had exchanged through the system.
A spaceship from the Deep Space universe.
As a space exploration game, the star field covered by the map of Deep Space can be said to be infinitely vast.
And the space navigation technology inside has naturally developed to the extreme.
It can not only take off and land vertically, easily escaping planetary gravity and flying into space.
It can also achieve light-speed pulses within star systems and jumps across star systems.
Furthermore, its Packages interstellar travel suit has a life support system, a harsh environment protection system, a resource collection system, and a planetary exploration analysis system.
It can be said that no matter where you want to go, or which planet you want to land on, the technology from Deep Space can provide you with the best help.
Perhaps the spaceships in Deep Space are not outstanding in terms of combat.
But if you use them for interstellar exploration and travel, they are definitely the best choice.
Looking at the scene before her, Lucy had already covered her mouth, choking up.
Tears inexplicably flowed from the corners of her eyes. She wanted to control her emotions, but she could not resist the surging happiness.
Finally, she simply let the tears of emotion flow down and tightly hugged Luoqi.
He had never forgotten my dream, and he had never forgotten his promise.
Lucy, who had not shed a tear when she decided to dedicate everything to Luoqi, was now filled with tears, leaning deeply into Luoqi's arms.
Luoqi held Lucy in his arms, gently patted her, smiled, and said.
"I always remember, I have always been here."
...
After a long time, Lucy finally calmed down her throbbing heart.
Gently wiping away her tears, a smile returned to Lucy's face.
"Come, Lucy, let's go to the Moon together."
Taking Lucy's small hand again, Luoqi led her to the spaceship.
He helped Lucy put on the astronaut suit, and the moment the helmet was put on, the suit's system was activated.
[Life support system....Normal]
[Protection system....Normal]
[Scanner....Normal]
[Current planet climate: Warm and pleasant]
[Current planet resources: Abundant]
[Current planet gravity: Normal]
Lucy excitedly looked at the interface in the astronaut helmet and the system's broadcast.
She was already looking forward to the moment she would step onto the Moon.
And Luoqi also held Lucy's hand and sat in the spaceship's cockpit.
A romantic space journey belonging to the two of them had officially begun.
