Soon Expeditionary No. 1, including the ships of the two battle formations that had already embarked on the journey with the mission, the two reconnaissance formations, and all the members of the mecha armament were mobilized at the same time, and Wang Shizi's voice resounded in every corner of the fleet for the first time in space.

"Just as we all learned from our respective commanders, because of the decision-making mistake of the top level of Expedition One, that is, me, caused the twelve reconnaissance ships belonging to the Bat Scout Team to be sucked into a wormhole that existed in the Jupiter system for an unknown amount of time due to a sudden burst of energy tide during their mission. The only good news is that according to the research of our R&D scientists, this wormhole is stable enough, although our reconnaissance ship itself does not support the passage of the wormhole space, but in the case that this space structure is much more stable than our temporary space channel, these reconnaissance ships that are sucked into the wormhole channel by the energy tide have an 80% chance of passing through the wormhole safely, that is to say, there is an 80% chance that our compatriots are still alive. ”

"The problem we face is that the other side of the wormhole will be a completely unknown world, not in any of the star maps we know now, we don't even know if this wormhole is a two-way or even multi-directional channel, we don't know what awaits us when our ship passes through the wormhole, we can't even be sure if this life-and-death journey that we have to face in order to rescue is meaningful, because we are not sure if the soldiers on these twelve reconnaissance ships are still alive. All we have is a glimmer of hope! ”

So now we are facing a difficult choice, not a choice to save or not to save, but a question of how to save. Because even if there is only one percent hope, I will never give up on any of my compatriots who follow me on Expedition One! ”

"The scientists at the R&D level gave three plans: first, send a special rescue team to drive several warships into the wormhole after the energy tide for rescue; Second, all of our crew took the Expedition No. 1 into the wormhole, advancing and retreating together, living and dying together; Third, fully solicit everyone's opinions, the members who are willing to embark on this life-and-death journey continue to stay on Expedition 1 and cross the wormhole, and compatriots who are skeptical about such a future can return to Xingyao City on our warship, I have decided to adopt the third option, but I want to emphasize that choosing to return to Xingyao City does not mean that you are cowardly, or feel that you will be considered a deserter, it is just a choice, just like every ordinary choice we face in life. ”

"Given that this is a rescue mission, time is precious, and our brothers and sisters who have lost contact with each other may face the test of life and death every minute, so there is not much time left for everyone to think. Expeditionary One is now heading towards the wormhole, and it is expected that after two Earth hours, all ships that are on mission outside the mothership will return to ship, so there are only two hours left for everyone to choose. When you make a choice, you don't need to tell anyone, I will send this to everyone's portable communication device through the main control center, all you have to do is to check an option, and then wait quietly, there will be a service robot to find you through the positioning coordinates of the communicator, and lead you to board the assigned ship! Everything will be done quietly. The crew of the ship that is on a mission, when they return to the mothership, do the same! ”

"Finally, once again, there is no shame in those who choose to go back, on the contrary, your choice may be to reserve a vital force for the next group of voyages to embark on the journey of the Star Atlas, well, my words are over. Remember, you only have two hours to think about this most important decision in your life, so choose wisely! ”

After Wang Shizi's last sentence, the virtual screen in front of everyone was also turned off.

Although Wang Shizi did not say it explicitly, the meaning of his words could naturally be heard, and he had already made up his mind to stay on the expedition No. 1 and set out with the ship. That sentence by no means left behind any of his compatriots who followed him fully expressed his attitude and decision. The reason why he did not make his choice clear in his speech was obviously because he did not want to let his decision affect the decision of others. Of course, this is naturally in line with Wang Shizi's thoughts, after all, conquering the starry sky has always been Wang Shizi's dream, and he has never shied away from revealing his ambitions in front of his subordinates.

But for others, it's a tough choice.

A real interstellar journey is not a game, there is no chance to do it all over again, one moment you may be talking and laughing, and the next moment you will encounter completely unknown dangers. It's like the more than 100 compatriots who were sucked into the wormhole and whose life and death were uncertain, when they just received the task, maybe they would never have thought that they would have such an encounter, right?

But then again, if they can really pass through the wormhole intact, and the wormhole does lead to an unknown star field, then they will become the lucky ones on Earth to cross the galaxy, which is also a record to be recorded in the history of Earth civilization!

……

Of course, reality will not be as perfect as imagined, at least although Xiao Yan is still alive at this time, he doesn't feel how lucky he is.

Although the structure of this wormhole passage is more stable than that of the temporary passage, the Hawkeye reconnaissance ship belonging to him is not designed for interstellar voyages after all, and does not have the necessary seismic structure for wormhole crossing, and the hull is not manufactured with high-standard new nanomaterials.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and made the right reaction at the critical moment, most of them firmly tied themselves to their seats, and some lucky guys even climbed up in the protective warehouse in extreme bumps, such as Xiao Yan and Tan Zhenwen.

Xiao Yan's good luck lies in the fact that he is the captain, and all warships and reconnaissance ships have designed a special protective compartment in the position of the captain, and at the critical moment, you only need to press the button, and the protective cover with high strength on the surface and soft impact proof design on the inner layer will pop out of the top deck to protect the captain. Xiao Yan pressed the button at the most critical moment when he pulled Tan Zhenwen into the protective cabin that belonged to him.

However, even so, when Xiao Yan woke up from a coma, he still felt that there was no place in his body that did not hurt, as if he had been beaten by someone who had pounced on his head and covered his face without dead ends.

Tan Zhengwen was still holding one hand tightly by him, leaning sideways on top of him. But the pain in his body made it impossible for him to push this guy away.

What made him feel even more tragic was that when he opened his eyes, through the transparent protective cover, he only saw that the inside of the spaceship was already in shambles. The gravity hammer had apparently failed, and the ship was in a state of weightlessness, with a few finely fragmented parts floating inside the capsule.

If it weren't for the fact that the protective warehouse was too cramped, the space was completely occupied by the two of them, and it would have been difficult to even move his body, or he should have floated now. After all, he wasn't strapped to a chair with a seat belt at this time.

Turning his head effortlessly, he looked at the location of the console, fortunately, the life support system did not seem to have suffered a devastating blow, and the teardrop-shaped display light representing life on the distant screen still flashed green. At least you don't have to say goodbye to your life immediately, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

None of the crew seemed fatally injured when they went up, at least not with blood-red liquid floating around the cabin. You must know that in this weightless environment, a small wound can cost a person's life.

"Hey, are you still alive? Wake up alive! After looking around the entire command cabin, Xiao Yan, who had settled down a little in his heart, began to push Tan Zhengwen who was lying in front of him. After a moment of rest, the pain in his body seemed to have eased a lot, at least he could gently push Tan Zhengwen, who was squeezed with him.

"......Well," with a slow groan, Tan Zhenwen woke up from a coma under external stimulation, shook his head, but immediately let out a wail: "Oops, oh! ”

"Wake up, I know it's hard when I first wake up, but I'll be fine in a while!" Xiao Yan wanted to grin, but his whole head throbbed a little.

"Huh? Where are we? Oops......"

"Hey, don't move, I don't know this place is small, move your body, I'm going to open the protective cover, you also saw that there is a problem with the gravity hammer, it's weightless outside, be careful, it's best to grab the back of the chair with one hand!" Xiao Yan endured the pain in his heart and opened his mouth to prompt.

"Huh?" Tan Zhengwen obviously hadn't fully come back to his senses, and hummed unconsciously, but his eyes were finally completely open, but his consciousness was obviously not very clear, but this guy still subconsciously moved his body as Xiao Yan said, and gave way to Xiao Yan's hand, and then the two hands subconsciously wanted to grasp something, but they didn't touch the back of the chair, but they clenched Xiao Yan's cuffs.

"Hey, hey, I said Scientist Tan, I'm asking you to hold on to the stool!"

"Where the hell are we?" Tan Zhengwen, who was finally almost completely sober, asked again.

"If I knew I was going to be a scientist too, it wouldn't be a good place anyway! Not seeing my ship is worse than going through a big battle? "Xiao Yan didn't have a good airway.

I have to say that the current Hawkeye looks really miserable, especially Tan Zhengwen is above Xiao Yan, who is easier to turn his head than Xiao Yan and has a better vision.

"Alright, I'm ready, you open the protective compartment!" After waking up, Tan Zhenwen followed Xiao Yan's words, stabilized his body, endured the discomfort from his body, and spoke.

Xiao Yan's reminder reminded Tan Zhengwen of everything he had experienced before, and the most important thing now is to figure out where they are, whether they are still in the Jupiter system, or they have arrived in a new star field, which is very important.

Even Tan Zhenwen began to get excited.

For an astrophysicist, if they do safely pass through the wormhole and reach a new star field, it means that the possibilities of the owner are endless. If the Hawkeye reconnaissance ship hadn't suffered heavy damage and most of the instruments were still available, he might have been able to observe and analyze this new star field. This is a dream for an astrophysicist, even higher than life and death.

At this moment, Tan Zhenwen couldn't even care about the pain on his body, if he could, he even wanted to change into a spacesuit and take a look outside the spaceship, even if it was just a glance.

In a sense, the purpose of the scientists who volunteered to board the expedition 1 was the purest, especially for astrophysicists like Tan Zhenwen, exploring the unknown starry sky was an opportunity that they felt was worth what they had in exchange, and from this point of view, these scientists were perhaps the most grateful to Wang Shizi, and the expedition 1 allowed them not to just enjoy the beauty of the universe through pictures taken by various astronomical telescopes from dozens or even hundreds of light years apart.

Of course, if he wants to do this, he must have the support and cooperation of everyone on the ship, and he also needs the navigation system, magnetic field system, positioning system, ranging system, and so on on on the hull to be able to return to normal.

Xiao Yan struggled to find the button of the protective compartment and pressed his thumb. Fortunately, the biometric system on the captain's seat was still working normally, and the next moment the protective compartment was put away, and the two finally did not have to be tightly squeezed together.

"Andrey, Andrey, how are you?" Xiao Yan slashed to the side of the cab with his hands and feet, and pushed the French first mate who was firmly tied to the seat by the seat belt.

Xiao Yan has a good impression of his first mate, but he doesn't want this French young man of the same age as him to lose his life so inexplicably.

"Woo......" Andre twisted his body, let out a groan, slowly opened his eyes and said, "Huh? Captain Xiao, we are still alive, ha, I thought that this life would be confessed to the ship! ”

"Phew, don't say such frustrating words, use your hands and feet, see if there is anything wrong with your body, if you can move, quickly check the system on the ship, if you can, release the maintenance robots, and fix the gravity hammer." Oh, and the powertrain, I don't want my ship to become a moving graveyard in the sky! You're busy, I'm going to have to wake up our communications officer to see if the communications system is working! By the way, Professor Tan, if you are well rested, go to the infirmary to see how our medical officer is, can you still move, if the equipment in the infirmary is in good condition, it is best that all our crew can still undergo a physical examination! ”

"Hey, Captain, I feel like I'm fine, but there's something wrong with the communication system, you see, my headphones are full of noise, this has never happened, all the communication channels are a red light! God knows what exactly happened to our communicators! It seems that only the ship** radio can be used! In a chair not far away, Karan Dick, the communications officer aboard the Hawkeye, suddenly burst into a voice.

"It's a blessing that people are okay! Hurry up and test it to see if it can be repaired, what about the power commander? Dead? Didn't die squeak! Seeing that someone woke up automatically, Xiao Yan didn't bother to drag his aching body around, and shouted directly.
