Snapshot: Etchings of Our Cosmic Dreams

Endmin, you're here.

It's alright. I only just arrived as well.

So, saw anything interesting for you?

Every time I see them, I'm always reminded of plenty of things...

Things about our past, as well as our future.

Endmin, maintenance work of such scale is actually pretty rare. Interested in a tour?

I know a few picture-perfect locations aboard this ship for commemoration photos.

What is it, Endmin?

I have to admit, the design of Qiming Station is rather intricate. It's quite attractive as well.

Every cabin can operate independently, or cooperate as a linked system. The modular design is capable of sustaining life for prolonged periods in orbit.

The Station is also furnished with an advanced and comprehensive suite of experimental devices and test instruments, both inside and outside the cabin.

Perhaps ... its mission is still incomplete.

It is hard to imagine how they filled up this lightweight rover with so many sensors and detectors.

A well-designed wheeled locomotion allows it to navigate complicated terrain.

As for the astrocautus... I actually didn't expect the Engineering Division to display this.

Every time I see this astrocautus wearing its outer space operations suit and gazing into the far distance —

Despite being placed on a flat table, the voyager's gaze is filled with courage and determination to delve into the distant unknown.

"Seek the stars".

When I gained systematic understanding of our history for the first time, I asked myself: "What is it that drove us towards the stars?"

It wasn't until I looked out from the bridge that I realized. The seed had long been planted in the deepest part of the human spirit.

Nourished by the spirit of exploration, the seed germinated and finally produced a fruit that truly belongs to this era, one bearing our wish of pushing ever onwards.

This fruit isn't just the fuel that propels us into the cosmos, but our unending drive to seek answers from the stars.

It stirs and ignites the cosmic dreams of countless individuals. And this would be our way to "challenge the cosmos" and go "beyond limits".

Endmin, what do you think?

You like it? That's wonderful.

Our exploration of deep space has just begun. We have yet to reach the boundaries of civilization.

Endmin, I think there may come a day when we take our desire to explore the unknown, and sail into the great beyond.

Yet the stars sparkle. The gates to the future have already been opened for us.

But if that moment were to arrive, how should we, as members of this civilization, answer the call?

The future holds many paths for us, but our gaze can only reach so far.
