Chapter 2 The Second Home Star Project

[S, look, this is the video data sent back by our colleagues on the space station, this is our home planet, she is so beautiful, isn't it? ] 怑

S's parents both work at the Institute of Aeronautics, and in order to take care of the family, they basically work on the ground, even if they need to go to the space station, or a mission to a nearby planet, one goes out and the other stays at home to take care of the children.

But although they can't stay on the space station for a long time, they still love it very much, and often keep in touch with their colleagues there, and every time they receive the video material, it is like getting a treasure, and when they watch it for the first time, they must take a full half day to gather the whole family together and enjoy that wonderful moment together.

But then, the home planet changed, and she became more and more red, as if she was sending some danger signal to everyone.

And every time the whole family gets together to watch the video materials, the atmosphere becomes more and more dull.

S remembers that when she was about seven or eight years old, she often had a dream that she was driving a spaceship away from a red planet.

The dream was very sad, very heavy, and she couldn't bear the heavy atmosphere when she was still young, and woke up crying from the dream.

Later, as she grew older, S gradually forgot all the details of that dream, but she always remembered the red planet that was gradually moving away, and the sad feeling in that dream.

The second home planet plan has been implemented since S was a child, and her parents often talk about the progress of this plan bit by bit with an expectant tone, but S doesn't remember when it began, and her parents stopped talking about the details of this plan, and even began to sigh uncontrollably when they mentioned it.

And just yesterday, she finally knew why her father and mother had become more and more worried and miserable.

The second home planet project, the one that carried the hopes of everyone on the home planet, had failed a year ago.

Because the population is growing and the demand for resources on the parent planet is becoming more and more unbridled, scientists came to the conclusion that the ecosystem of the parent planet is collapsing, and the rate of collapse is accelerating.

At the beginning, the top research team focused on how to repair the home star, but with the failure of one plan after another, they finally reluctantly came to a conclusion: the collapse of the home star ecology is irreparable, at least with the current level of human technology and the speed of technological development, they cannot make an effective recovery before the habitable environment of the home planet completely disappears.

After such a desperate conclusion, many people are so grieved that they even choose to give up their lives.

After that, a genius scientist came up with a new plan for them to modify the planets around their home planet so that that planet would become their second home planet.

If they can lighten the burden on their home planet, maybe one day, they will have the opportunity to repair the planet that gave birth to them.

This new plan reinvigorated the world, which was already on the verge of despair, and the nations completely abandoned their previous suspicions, and together formed a scientific research group to support them with the most abundant resources, hoping that they could come up with a reasonable plan as soon as possible.

The research team worked day and night, and all the participants, regardless of their physical condition, burned the most creative part of their lives to the limit, and in just three months, came up with an extremely detailed implementation plan that stood up to scrutiny.

With the strong support of various countries, it only took three years for the implementation plan to prove viable, and since then the second home star project has officially begun.

Although this plan is invisible and untouchable to most ordinary people, it has quickly become the spiritual pillar of everyone, and closely following the progress of this plan has become a global thing.

S grew up in such an atmosphere, under the influence of the family atmosphere, she paid more attention to and loved this plan than anyone else, and even her wish since childhood was to become a member of this plan.

And just yesterday, she heard that the plan had failed.

"That's right...... S…… Do you know anything about the second home planet project? ā€

When F asked this sentence, his voice was trembling, although the tremor was imperceptible, but S was keenly captured.

"Both of my parents work in the airline, but I only found out about it yesterday. If I hadn't been in training camp, they wouldn't have told me about it......"

There was tiredness and sighs in S's voice.

Ever since she learned that the plan had failed, her heart had been weeping bitterly.

Although there was no change in her appearance, she knew that an extreme sadness had always gripped her.

Her seventeen-year-old heart did not yet know what this sadness meant, and only felt that she was in a trance, as if she were living in a dream.

"You mentioned the Second Home Star project? How? What's new in the plan? ā€

A woman in a vermilion dressing gown with long curly hair slowly walked down the stairs, looking at F and S with a look in her eyes, like an antique dealer looking at vases, meticulous and quiet, with a clear insight into all the details and essences.

"Nothing new...... Alas...... I'm not sure if I should tell you about this...... If you don't already know, I don't really recommend you ......"

As F spoke, the long-curly-haired woman shook her head, and F stopped talking.

"If this is something that will be known sooner or later, I wish it had known sooner."

Listening to U's words, F turned his head to look at S, and there was obvious hesitation and entanglement in his expression.

"Since you came to this training camp, you must be someone who has a strong love for the second home planet project and wants to be a part of it. Otherwise, with your family background, you will be able to live a happy life outside, and with your wisdom, nothing on this planet will be a rare treasure for you. However, I think your hopes may be in vain, and no one in this camp will be able to participate in the second home planet project. ā€

Seeing that F couldn't bear to say, S groaned for a moment and said slowly.

"How is it possible that no one person can participate...... Isn't this training camp set up by the Aviation Institute to train the top talents? ā€

Listening to F's words, U had an ominous guess in her heart, but she couldn't accept that the guess was true.

"It's true that it was created to train the best talent, but its name is Exploration Bootcamp, not the Second Home Star Project Preparatory Camp."

Yes, the name of this training camp has long said everything, but everyone has turned a blind eye to it, because of their generation, who wouldn't love the second home star project?

As long as you are passionate and confident in your abilities, who doesn't want to be one of them one day?

It's not that they can't see clearly, it's that none of them want to see the truth.

S thought, although this training camp concentrates the top talents, how many can have the courage to look directly at the truth?
