Volume 1 Interstellar Vastness Chapter 43 The Eden Project (I)
Xue Gushan knew that judging from the information obtained so far, the Tocta civilization would definitely not be the indigenous inhabitants of the Americas back then.
"If there is no accident, the South Gate ship will depart in 10 days, and it will arrive near Tokta Star after 8 months of sailing, and the Tiangong will arrive at Tokta Star in the 9th month after our departure, and we need to complete the intelligence reply within 25 days, otherwise the Tiangong will turn on the jump engine and cross the Tokta Star Field with the fastest acceleration."
Blake frowned, "What about the Southgate ship?" As he spoke, he looked at the others, as if trying to find answers in their faces.
Fang Mobei looked at Blake and said, "Within 25 days, if the South Gate ship does not complete the intelligence reply, the Tiangong will be regarded as a mission failure, and the only way to do it is to speed up the passage through the dangerous area."
Xue Gu Shan looked at Blake, who had a complicated face, and said, "Aren't we in the same boat now?" ”
"Does anyone else know?" Gu Yiyi looked at Xue Gushan with a struggling face.
Xue Tani Shan smiled, "What do you think a soldier is?" ”
Gu Yiyi looked at Fang Mobei and the others with a heavy face, although she felt that this feeling was very strange, she could feel the indifference of everyone present. Cold was her only feeling, this kind of coldness also appeared on Fang Mobei's body, this familiar and terrifying feeling made her feel a little strange.
This is the feedback of her mental power, for emotions, she has been able to find some clues, this is her ability to improve her mental power.
Yes, what do you think a soldier is, two simple words, but it seems unusually heavy, this kind of complicated feeling, Gu Yiyi is the first time to experience, maybe some things are really promising and not doing.
Seeing that the captain and Fang Mobei and the others were seriously discussing the implementation plan, Gu Yiyi's gaze fell on the light and shadow of the Tokta Star on the table.
The sound of discussion gradually disappeared, the picture in front of her gradually blurred, she saw the light in front of her, she wanted to pass through the light, she saw through the light the boundless blood and fierce beasts, they fought hard in the siege of the beasts, the roars and screams of the beasts resounded in her head, a sharp pain like pins and needles made her unable to hold on any longer, and finally she lost consciousness in the darkness of her eyes.
"Yiyi" "Yiyi" The concerned voice lingered in Gu Yiyi's ears, she tried to open her heavy eyes, and a vague figure appeared in front of her.
Fang Mobei held Gu Yiyi's hand and said with concern, "Yiyi" Looking at Gu Yiyi's slowly open eyes, Fang Mobei relieved himself.
"I ......" Gu Yiyi asked suspiciously.
"Don't talk yet, you can sleep for a while"
Fang Mobei watched Gu Yiyi fall into a deep sleep again, and his heart gradually relaxed. He still clearly remembered that when Yu Xue Gushan was discussing the mission plan yesterday, Gu Yiyi beside him suddenly covered his head in pain, and then fainted in his arms.
He was surprised that Gu Yiyi suddenly fainted, because for physical practitioners, some ordinary diseases would not affect them at all, so to rule out this possibility of an accident, only she herself knew.
Fang Mobei wiped Gu Yiyi's slender arm with a hot towel, and with a look of pity on his face, he let the surrounding Blake and the others leave the room with interest.
At this time, only Fang Mobei and Gu Yiyi were left in the room, listening to Gu Yiyi's smooth breathing, his heart also quieted down, maybe it was the high-intensity training during this time, maybe it was from Hai Telton's back that he had something heavy in his heart, in this quiet time, a sense of exhaustion hit, and he couldn't help but rub his forehead.
He looked out the porthole at the vast universe, a purple-red nebula in the distance attracted his attention, he hadn't appreciated the universe for a long time, a beautiful nebula was so beautiful, so beautiful that it made people intoxicated and sighed.
The creation of space carriers is a radical attempt in human history, from the Apollo program in the last century to the Enceladus program in the middle of the last century, mankind has achieved great success in establishing military bases on the moon - the rare elements mined on the moon have laid a solid foundation for mankind to go further into space, which gives radicals great confidence, they can't wait to set their sights on Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, and establish a mining base on Neptune's first moon, Even a new energy source SDS, which affects all mankind, is a new energy source that is cleaner, more stable, and has a higher energy conversion rate than uranium and plutonium.
In the dreamy more than 100 years of the new energy revolution that carried out the hearts of the people, the radicals in power vigorously promoted after tasting the sweetness, people opened up a bright road to the universe in the name of the second age of discovery.
Overnight, all powerful forces focused on the vast universe, vigorously cultivating and mining astronomers, and collecting any relevant experts and scientists with a lot of money, all of them were crazy to pan for a pot of gold in outer space.
New energy, new metals, new substances, new elements and other new and useful things are put into medicine, manufacturing, energy, military, biology and other fields, so in the Ming City and the black market there are various star maps that seem to be true and false, the star maps are marked with information about various known planets, the shortest route, the best route, the distribution of known elements, and the speculation of unknown elements.
The star map is like a treasure map by the major forces to compete for, the spy agents of various countries are fighting for rare resources and interests, war is inevitable, and it is also the most cruel century in human history under the light of the dream new century.
Before people had time to leave the solar system, the economic crisis caused by excessive space development had already swept the world like a tsunami, and when one of the core countries could no longer support the economic bubble at home, the chain effect of the economic collapse put all countries in a difficult situation.
In the gloomy economic environment, space development is becoming more and more redundant in the eyes of more and more countries, and it has become a huge melting pot for the participating member countries, and the value generated by outer space is negligible compared to the money it burns every minute.
The idealistic frenzy has gradually faded, people have quickly returned to reality, overpopulation, frequent natural disasters, and abnormal global climate, and the apocalyptic rhetoric has made countries begin to pay attention, and the Columbus Project has been officially launched by the resolution of the Earth Federation. Overnight, the attention of all mankind was focused on the "Zeus", "Ark" and "Tiangong".
Fang Mobei sighed deeply, the Tiangong carried the last hope of mankind and represented the most noble ideal of mankind, but the originally long interstellar journey was full of unknowns and crises, he was not very embarrassed when he thought of this.
"What are you thinking?" After Gu Yiyi woke up, he saw Fang Mobei standing by the porthole, and he could feel Fang Mobei's complicated emotions at this time.
"Are you awake? Why don't you sleep for a while," Fang Mobei turned his head and said with a smile.
Gu Yiyi shook her head, "I have a bad premonition"
"You said this mission?"
Gu Yiyi didn't speak, just looked at Fang Mobei worriedly.
"What do you see?"
"Killing, Beasts, Despair......"
……
In the 4th year of the interstellar year, the South Gate ship under the Tiangong carried an important mission to the Tokta Star Domain located between the solar system and the two South Gate systems, this historical feat attracted the attention of everyone on the Tiangong, whether it was citizens at all levels or soldiers, scholars, and politicians, all of them turned their attention to the South Gate ship at this time.
Perhaps this historic moment came suddenly, and a series of social problems caused by strikes, the gap between the rich and the poor, and racial discrimination also died down at this moment.
In June of the 4th year of the interstellar year, the South Gate ship officially sailed away from the Tiangong, with the help of the jump rate of the Tiangong to superimpose the speed, the South Gate ship will complete the acceleration within 1 month and then decelerate in 2 months, and finally enter the Tokta Star Domain, capture the gravity of the Tokta Star and complete the orbital flight.
"After 10 minutes, the Tiangong will start to jump and slow down, and after 30 minutes, the Tiangong will disappear from our field of vision, so you can watch it for a while," Xue Gu Shan shook her head as she looked at the porthole full of staff standing by the porthole.
After Fang Mobei walked into the command room, he looked at the three people sitting next to Xue Gu Shan, an old scholar with white hair and two young people, as if they saw the doubts in Fang Mobei's eyes, and Xue Gu Shan gave him a brief introduction.
The white-haired old man's name is Binks and he is the head of the Institute of Extraterrestrial Civilizations, and the two young people, one named Zhang Ziming is an expert in radio bands, the other is Mieko who is an expert in language interpretation, and the two are assistants to the white-haired old man.
After Fang Mobei greeted politely, he looked at the man sitting opposite Xue Gushan, the man was wearing the costume of the air service regiment, and he thought that he was the commander of the two flying teams mentioned by Chief of Staff Tian.
"Hello, Captain Fang Mobei, I'm Mars, the captain of the Flying Shark Brigade of the Air Service Corps, it's a pleasure to meet you" Mars looked at Fang Mobei in front of him and politely stretched out his right hand.
After seeing that Fang Mobei had greeted everyone, Xue Gushan sat up straight and looked at everyone and said, "I won't say much about the importance of this mission, I called everyone here this time to announce the mission plan" She called up the route map of the South Gate ship on the desktop, and the destination of the route map was the planet Tokta.
"The South Gate ship will arrive in the Tokta Star Field in three months, and after arriving in the Tokta Star Field, everyone here today must be on standby in the command room 24 hours a day, and the radars of all frequency bands of the South Gate ship will be turned on to search for information on extraterrestrial civilizations."
Binks and his assistant glanced at each other and said to Xue Tani, "We will find out the communication band of the extraterrestrial civilization as soon as possible."
Yukitani nodded and continued, "Mars's drone team needs to be in a state of companionship to deal with emergencies that may occur at any time."
"It's okay on my side," Mars replied firmly.
"If there is a need to land on the planet Tokta, it will be up to Captain Fang Mobei," said Xue Gushan and looked at Fang Mobei on the side.
Fang Mobei looked at everyone looking at him, and he shrugged his shoulders, "If there is a need for that, I will take my people down."
"If we encounter an alien flying object, our warning or expulsion process won't work," Mars pondered.
"We can't fire first until we've decided on an extraterrestrial civilization friend or foe," Binks said lightly.
"How is it determined?" Mars looked sideways at Binks, "Why don't you go talk to them first?" ”
"If we provoke an interstellar war due to a mistake in our judgment, can you bear the responsibility?" said Binks noncommittally.
Mars took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, "I won't risk my brothers' lives" After speaking, he looked at Xue Gu Shan, expecting Xue Gu Shan to give a fair answer.
Xue Gu Shan's eyes looked at the image of the planet Tokta, obviously struggling because of something in his heart, Fang Mobei on the side somewhat understood what Xue Gu Shan was struggling with.
