The captain looked at everyone expressionlessly in the conference room, and now the spacecraft is in an automatic drift state, which is fully controlled by the optical brain, so it is rare that all the crew, including the pilot, are here. The captain's voice was as solemn as ever, and the words that came out made everyone's mood a little lower.

"The kitchen fire was very accidental, and it has now been found that it was caused by a short circuit in the wiring. Everyone behaved well in the fire, and most of the food in the kitchen was rescued, but it also caused some damage. According to the statistics, compared with the consumption, we have lost a total of eight bags of meat products and eleven bags of dry goods. It's basically the equivalent of two days' rations for all of us. So in the long run, we may have to reduce the amount of each meal, let me tell you. I apologize for not keeping the food well. “

With that, the captain stood up and bowed. The whole hall was silent, and everyone's faces looked numb, and they didn't react as much as they thought, as if it had nothing to do with everyone.

In the evening, I was greeted by Dabao and went to the captain's room again. Hongyin still arrived earlier than me, but she was more annoyed than last time, her eyes fixed on the turned off projector on the table, her chest still rising and falling sharply.

"What's wrong?" I asked, a little puzzled. But Hongyin didn't react at all.

"It's nothing, I'm angry." The captain received: "I installed a new camera in the kitchen to see who did it." ”

After the captain finished speaking, he pressed the button on the projector, and a stereoscopic film and television were displayed. I saw a spark suddenly appear on the kitchen wall, and then the box next to it was ignited by the splashing sparks, and I don't know how the captain did it. If you don't know it in advance, it's hard to believe that this is a man-made "accident". Next, Dabao was the first to rush in and grab something, he was very surprised and sad, and his acting skills were perfect. Then everyone else rushed over, including me. Everyone is rushing to ship things, and they are all acting normally. Suddenly, I saw a person taking a box in his pocket while everyone was not paying attention to it, although the smoke was quite big at this time, but he still looked at him.

"Morex, it's him!" I looked surprised, this one usually doesn't do much, and he was quite calm after the Trek, I didn't think it was him. Morex and Hongyin have a good relationship, so it's no wonder that Hongyin is like that.

"This matter is like this for now, everyone don't say anything about it, I'll deal with it." The captain was very calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The captain motioned for me and Dabao to leave first, and he was alone with Hongyin saying something.

The next day, I met Dabao and asked Captain Dabao what he was going to do with it, and Dabao told me that the captain had talked to Morex, and Morex happily admitted that he had taken the food and handed it over.

"Just let him go." I'm a little indignant.

"What do you say?" Dabao looked at me and narrowed his little eyes: "I also asked the captain like this, but the captain said that it should not be let go easily, but this is an extraordinary time, and we must try to maintain stability and unity." And Morex himself was very regretful and annoyed, and he apologized to the captain bitterly, saying that he would never do it again, and there was still something to forgive. Another important reason is that the captain thinks that the ship is lost and cannot find a way back, and he has an unshirkable responsibility no matter what, as long as anyone gets on the ship he pilots, he has the obligation to get everyone to their destination safely; And now he is derelict in his duties, he must be held responsible, he can't escape first. ”

After hearing this, I couldn't help but look at the captain with admiration. The thought of being sympathetic to my subordinates, (although I think that person is unforgivable) courage to take responsibility, and although the voyage was so unsmooth, I met a good captain, and I believe that with such a captain we will be able to get out of this predicament, and my heart warms up when I think of it.

Time passed quickly, and after another month or so, the food quota began to decrease again, and people like me, who usually eat a lot of food, were obviously in a state of semi-starvation. During this period, three terrestrial planets were found, but all of them were lifeless planets, either the atmosphere was full of gas to death, or only thin gas, and the temperature difference between day and night reached hundreds of degrees, and even water, the basic element of life, did not exist on the surface.

Sitting in the conference room with everyone again today, listening to the captain's statement, the captain still maintained his enthusiasm: "We have discovered two more terrestrial planets, 30 light-years and 45 light-years away from us respectively, these two planets are very likely to have life, the probability is close to 70%, and we will soon be able to eat fresh extraterrestrial food." ”

Everyone was already a little numb to the captain's statement, and they didn't look very happy. After the hope is dashed again and again, people are a little uninterested in this kind of information, and even a little scared, afraid that hope will be dashed. Every wait is a long ordeal, and I am afraid that a few more times people will lose control and destroy themselves.

This time, we chose to go to the planet 45 light-years away first, and when we found many planets before, we chose to go close first, but the results were so disappointing, I hope to have good luck this time.

Once again, we traveled through a galaxy full of hope, flying directly in this galaxy, and its true face was finally revealed. There are eight planets in this galaxy, and there are three huge gas planets on the periphery of the galaxy, which act as guardians for the inner planets, and there are five smaller planets on the inner side of the galaxy, and the planets that we found earlier that thought they were alive are orbiting between us and the sun, which blocks part of the sun's rays and is in a transit state. This star is the 4th planet in the galaxy from the inside out, 2.5 AU from the star.

We finally got close to it and flew to its bright side. Everyone gathered in the cockpit again, and the small cockpit was packed, all wanting to see it as soon as possible. What a beautiful white world it is! The entire planet is surrounded by white crystals. It is soft and pure, shimmering with dazzling brightness, like a most precious gem set in the universe, it almost wants to blind our eyes, but no matter how brilliant the color seems to have nothing to do with life.

Hongyin stared at the screen and looked at the data fed back by the spaceship, and only turned his head to look at the captain for a long time, with a look of wanting to cry without tears, and cried softly: "This is dry ice, not ice, it's too cold here." ”

Suddenly, I felt as if I heard a crisp breaking sound, the clear voice was so low but I heard it so clearly, was my heart broken! Or my dream is shattered. I looked up the window and suddenly a bright star was imprinted in my eyes in the distance, it was so bright that it compared all the stars around me. It seemed to be calling to me, shouting at me. This is a planet that is not in transit, so we could not have found it in the distance, and it is the third orbital planet in the system from the inside out.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Somehow I laughed, pointed to the bright star, and said, "No, isn't there anything else!" “

Everyone looked in the direction I was pointing, and everyone seemed to be frozen, and everyone had just preconceived to focus on the terrestrial planets that they had discovered at the beginning, so much so that they ignored the other planets.

The captain turned his head and stared at me fiercely, and gave the order: "Turn around and target the planet in orbit 3." ”

The ship quickly adjusted its course, and the star gradually changed from a dot to a sphere, gradually revealing its true face hidden in the sunlight from a bright spot.

A bright white shone its cold light from the northern part of the planet, and the light was so mischievous that it danced and drifted in the air, forming a halo above the northern level, and the halo proudly declared that it was different, that it was the darling of the universe, that this was the source of life, that it was the foundation of life.

"Ice, ice, ice here!" I don't know who was the first to shout. The flame of hope in the chest was instantly burned into a raging flame by the reality of happiness, and the oxygen in the air desperately burrowed into everyone's chest, and was exhaled after consuming most of the fuel. People were jubilant, jumping, and the magnetic suit dragged people to the deck, reminding the owner of the car to be careful of the safety of the head, but the people took care of this, and at this time, even if they hit their heads and broke the bloodstream, they didn't cry.

The ship slowly approached the planet, and the star generously revealed its most cherished child to these distant guests, unveiling its mystery little by little. At last a wisp of green appeared in our eyes, more and more and more clearly, until the whole equatorial area was basically covered with the most delightful color, and the screams of the people reached their peak. Green is the element of life, and it is the color we have been looking for.

"Quick, analyze the composition of the air." The captain cried out excitedly.

Drivers Zarette and Hoss: "Click! Click! "Quickly operate the various spectral analysis instruments on the spacecraft, and the results will come out in a short time. People looked at the screen excitedly, which showed that the atmosphere is 16% oxygen and 80% nitrogen, and the air composition is too similar to that of our home planet, Earth, which is definitely a new planet suitable for us to live on for a long time.

For a moment, people hugged the nearest person and celebrated with each other, and the ladies did not care about some of the excesses that men took advantage of. With tears in his eyes, the captain stared at the screen for a long time and refused to leave, and he was under too much pressure during this time. Originally, it could be said that he had brought us to the edge of this galaxy, to this half-dead land, and now he has finally brought us to a new planet, a new planet full of green and hope.

"Draw a 4D map, choose a landing site". The captain issued another command to prepare for the landing on a new planet.

The 4D map soon came out, a planet with a diameter of 11,888 kilometers, covered with large areas of ice and snow at the north and south poles, but the equatorial region showed extremely attractive green life. This is a planet full of greenery and life that is not yet registered with the Alliance.
