Volume 3 The Adventures of the Green Star Chapter 6 Food Loss
It's a planet full of red, unlike the Red Flame Star of my first expedition. Red spreads almost all over the planet, with only a slight hint of black at the poles. Case. Captain Locke looked at the various data on the display screen and slammed his fist on the command platform, which vibrated sharply and made a buzzing sound. Hongyin lowered her head in frustration, a series of data made her close her beautiful eyes, and she didn't want to open them for a long time. SQ2, with an atmospheric content of 82% and an average temperature of 268°C, declares the end of hope for life on this planet.
"It's a planet full of volcanoes and hot magma on the surface, and life has no chance of it."
The old man sighed and glanced at me faintly. I nodded, the hot blood in my chest still allowed me to slowly free myself from the cold state and slowly return to my normal state. I looked at the old man's disappointed but not too surprised eyes and said, "Our home planet, Earth, should have been like this in the early days!" ”
"Yes." Luo Yuxiang gently hugged Wang Lu, who was numb beside him, and interjected, "In the hundreds of millions of years since the birth of the earth, volcanoes have been everywhere, magma has become a sea, and there can be nothing but scorching magma on the surface. This planet is now the hell of life, but in a few hundred million years, who would dare to say that this place will not be full of life! Our direction is right, and this time we are looking for it more accurately, but it is hundreds of millions of years earlier! ”
When Luo Yuxiang, a master in the field of spaceship construction, said this, everyone smiled bitterly, and the atmosphere of frustration weakened a lot. Hundreds of millions of years is a very long time for life, and for the universe it is like a few years for human beings, it is not too long.
After the first few days of disappointment, people are slowly starting to return to a normal state of mind. Everyone finds what they like to do, and when they do things, they can better forget about the bad situation in front of them. In addition to being very familiar with the old ones, I also get along well with the aircraft carrier engineer Luo Yuxiang. Carter, who has a temper tantrum, Minen Farell, who speaks slowly, Daniel, who is beautiful but cold, who seems to be interested in Luo Yuxiang, who is extremely strong in dark skin, and Wang Lu, who is lively and has an ancient Asian name but an ancient European appearance. The six characteristics of their small group, erudition, bravery, calmness, beauty, health, and enthusiasm, are strongly displayed in each of them. According to Lao Mai, many industries will also choose a variety of people with different personalities to accompany when they go out to select people, so that a small complementary group is very beneficial to long-term voyages or work.
I was also talking to my beautiful sister Hongyin, and I stumbled upon her understanding of an ancient language of her home planet, Earth, as well as I did. There are very few people who know this ancient Oriental language now, but I have mastered this language that is rarely used because of my parents' education and interest in the ancient culture of the earth.
Every mealtime is both longing and disappointing for me. I took my share and sat down at a long table by the window in the dining room. This time, I ate a space burger, which was freshly made, and the vegetables in it were grown in the capsule, which was very fresh and tasted much better than the finished product. Tumu, who was sitting opposite, put the whole burger into his stomach in three or two clicks, licked his tongue after eating, and nodded slightly, probably quite acknowledging the taste. After eating, he looked at Wang Lu, who was still eating on the side, the burger that was obviously a little smaller than the normal size was still too small for him, and he obviously didn't eat enough.
Wang Lu noticed Toum's appearance, broke a small half and handed it over, revealing his signature smile: "Let's have a little more, I don't have a small appetite to eat." ”
Toom's eyes seemed to flash when he saw Burger, but he shook his head and said, "Thanks, no." ”
"Really?" Wang Lu deliberately leaned over and grimaced. Tum swallowed, put his hands behind his head and nodded.
Wang Lu glanced at Tum and didn't say anything, and continued to eat her burger, which was really small, even if she ate it slowly, it would be eaten quickly. Wang Lu exhaled a long breath and said, "It's delicious!" It's been a long time since I've eaten fresh vegetables! Would love to have another one. ”
As soon as I heard this, I smiled bitterly in my heart, and I had a lot of good feelings for this eighty-year-old sister.
When I finished eating, I still remembered the taste of fresh vegetables, but I saw Dabao walk to the door of the cabin, and he gave me a look and motioned for me to come out. I followed, but Dabao didn't say anything and kept walking in front of me, just beckoning me to follow. The two of us turned around and walked to the captain's room, I was still wondering if I had gone wrong, the hatch opened, and the grid. Captain Locke showed his serious face.
When he entered the cabin, he saw Feng Hongyin leaning against the wall of the cabin, his arms folded in front of his chest, and a pair of long legs lying diagonally on the ground, showing his beautiful leg lines. The cheeks were slightly apricot-colored, and the small mouth was slightly pursed and the face was slightly angry, which was too different from the usual state. I couldn't help but be stunned, if I didn't know that I was going to come over to discuss things, I thought she had something to do with the captain!
"Sit down!" The captain saw us come in and pointed to the chair next to the desk in the room, which the captain used for work and meals, and there were exactly four chairs. I sat opposite Hongyin, this beautiful sister in her fifties and sixties at the right age receded slightly, and a pair of phoenix eyes could not hide the autumn waves leaking, I couldn't take a good look at such a face-to-face opportunity, I have to say that she is really a pretty beautiful sister. Fortunately, I'm a young man who respects my sister very much, and even more so for my beautiful sister.
"Dabao, tell me about it." The captain tried to smile and lighten the mood, but the nerve cells and muscle cells still fought, and this smile was ugly and it was better not to smile.
Da Bao paused and said, "Recently, our food has started to lose again, in addition to high-calorie meat, we are now also losing the very low-calorie Lanlin thorn. ”
"Lan Lin Thorn! Isn't that basically used as a condiment? What are you stealing this for? "I was taken aback, stealing high-calorie food can be understood, but what to do with stealing condiments, although it is a delicious fruit, but really hungry in the fruit and meat choice will definitely choose meat ah.
The captain nodded with a solemn expression: "This is also what I don't understand, maybe this person likes to eat Lan Lin thorns." ”
"I like to eat Lan Lin thorns, you mean...... Mikel. "My eyes widened, I couldn't believe it, Mikel often asked Dabao for Lan Lin Thorn when he had enough food, and said that it could nourish his face, and if anyone on the whole ship liked to eat Lan Lin Thorn, it must be Mikel. But she is recognized as an extremely responsible and capable person at work, would she do such a thing! Speaking of Mikel, Hongyin's eyelids trembled, and I remembered that the relationship between the two of them was very good, no wonder Hongyin had that expression just now, if it was really Mikel, Hongyin, who was a friend, would definitely be hit.
"Sister Hongyin, but the truth shouldn't be that simple, it's often covered by various performances." Seeing Hongyin's sad appearance, I comforted, and asked the captain, "Actually, everyone is suspicious before the results come out, why believe me?" Especially me, the youngest and the least alive! ”
The captain looked at me and replied, "Needless to say, it would be too easy for him to hide something and he wouldn't have to tell me." ”
The captain looked at me and nodded, and continued to explain: "Hongyin and I have experienced a lot of things, I can completely trust her, as for you!" You've been quite optimistic, you've been trying to figure out how to do it, you're very confident about going back, and you're not going to think about what bad things we're going to end up with, and you're not going to do that kind of thing to leave a way out for yourself. ”
"Oh! That's it! "I didn't expect the captain's words, but I do have a lot of confidence in going back, because I have a family that loves me and I am dating, will I not be able to go back? I don't believe it.
"Captain, who do you think is more likely to do it?" I asked.
"There are no specific suspects yet, and historically it is more likely that the crew will do this, and they have a much greater chance of encountering danger on a long-term voyage, and some of them will think about it for themselves."
"Crew, who could it be?" I thought silently in my mind, going through all the crew in my head, trying to find out who had behaved abnormally during this time, but everyone seemed to be normal.
"I just discussed with Hongyin a way to find the person who stole the food, and I'll talk to you about it now, but you have to make sure that you don't tell anyone else about it until you're sure who stole it. Originally, everyone was in a bad mood in this environment, and I didn't want to increase anyone's negative feelings, and if you hadn't known about it for some reason, I wouldn't have told you at all and wouldn't have let you get involved in it. ”
Then the captain elaborated on the plan, and I nodded my head as I listened. Back in the cabin, I couldn't help but be a little confused, saying that people only show the truest side of human nature when they encounter hardships and dangers, whether they are selfish, selfless, or cruel, or kind, or cowardly, or strong, and I don't know what will happen next.
The ship then proceeded to search for terrestrial planets, but there was no eyebrow. One day, Toom and Onata were working on my strength in the equipment room, and Toom was happy to guide me through the training. He was topless, very muscular, but well proportioned, and we tried the strength, and he was only a little bit bigger than me. I was abusing the equipment as hard as I could, and suddenly there was a loud alarm in the room.
"There was a short circuit and fire in the kitchen, emergency rescue! Emergency rescue! I jerked my feet up and ran towards the kitchen, and Tum and Onata ran out.
I ran to the galley room to see that one part of the large galley was sparkling with electricity, and the room was filled with smoke, and a few sparks were dancing on the walls of the cabin. Is it a chemical reaction that the metal wall is on fire, and there are also a few sparks on the bottom of a cabinet, which should be a fire in a packaging box or something. I could see through the smoke that there were a few cabinets with many boxes, and they should be full of food. The commotion was loud enough, much more intense than I had imagined, and it scared me out of the way despite my preparation. Dabao was shouting in his crying voice, "Help move the food out!" What to eat when you burn it! ”
I quickly picked up the bottom box and ran out, this is a life-saving thing, as for the captain of the fire extinguisher, they should take care of it. The figures of Mobuto and Brestoya flashed in a hurry, and it was their job to repair the ship's facilities. By the time I got back with the second crate, the spark had gone out, but the sparks were still jumping on the walls, and the chemistry wasn't so easy to handle. Brestoia jumped out again, presumably looking for something. At this time, Lao Luo and the others also ran over, and everyone was in a hurry to move the life-saving food out. It didn't take a few times to move the food, and it was over. I don't know when the fire is extinguished, the exhaust fan is running strongly, and Dabao looks gray and black, looking at everyone in frustration. I have to say that his acting skills are good, at least I can't see the flaws.
