Chapter 26 Chapter Twenty-Five

Now, John William Washington—still often called Sandy—and his wife, Margery Phyllis Dapp, who was no longer a "Lieutenant," were sent by humans to the Heckley starship. Member of 54 delegates. The spacecraft is flying around Mars, and the first settlement built on the surface of Mars has gradually taken shape. The first batch of 12×12×12 frozen eggs had been thawed and hatched, as a special token of appreciation to the representatives of Earth, six of which were Aubie's descendants.Margerie and Lysander returned to Earth twice.During the first short stay, Margerie got divorced, and the two of them married.

Returning to Earth for the second time, Margeley closed her old apartment and disposed of the main possessions, as they would not be returning to Earth for many years.Additionally, they took the opportunity to accept some help with the fertility of the two of them. (They did need some biophysics help, but they believe the results will be worth it.) On Earth, the first two railguns are operational, and the project to deorbit the most menacing chunk of space junk is well underway.The next step is to launch some orbiters equipped with Hyckley-style magnetic drives to sweep up as much of the remaining small pieces of junk as possible.Whether it's Earthlings or Heckleys, it's still not easy to pass through the garbage layer in space. For fragile life forms, the exit above the polar regions is still the only safe passage.But with a railgun, anything else can be ejected.The day when space travelers are locked down will be an unpleasant memory, and the day is not far away.

As for Lasander and Margery, many words can be used to describe them.They are busy, they are doing their best, and they are full of hope.Moreover, they are looking forward to the arrival of new life.All in all, they are happy.
