"Let me guess, which of you is the leader...... Why don't you have a military rank, is it not a naval warship? "But if you want to start the main brain of the spaceship, you must have authorization, obviously, these nine will not take the initiative to give, so you have to find it yourself.

If there is really authorization, it may be a pre-negotiated password, and if you can find it, you can take over the mastermind, and if you can't find it, don't force it to start. Many ships have self-destruct programs, especially for naval warships.

Hong Tao guessed one by one, the first two guessed wrong, there was nothing in their skin suits, and the escape pod was also empty, but a portable mastermind was found under the skin suit of the third wrist. This thing is a backup of a certain mastermind, it may be a spaceship, or it may be his own, I can't say.

"Heavenly Spirit Spirit, Earth Spirit Spirit, Queen Mother Manifest Spirit......" Did this portable master activate the password Hong Tao didn't know, anyway, he searched the bodies of several other people and found any items.

Then you have to try it first, but Hong Tao still has a few more eyes, first exit the wreckage of the spacecraft and return to the mining barge, and then release a mining drone to carry the portable mastermind, and then drive the barge to fly nearly 100 kilometers into the distance, and then carefully connect with the main brain of the drone. If this thing can trigger the self-destruct mechanism on the ship's wreckage, it probably won't implicate itself.

"Bang Bang, is it approved to have an unencrypted video stream?" It was indeed supposed to be the spaceship of the New Roman Federation, and the main brain of the portable and mining drones were smoothly connected without going through too complicated decoding processes, and the main brain of the barge quickly received the request.

The mastermind of the New Edenians does have some artificial intelligence, at least it can follow the personality of the master. In the hands of more serious people, they have a look, and in the hands of people like Hong Tao, they also learn to run trains with their mouths full.

"Uncle dear, let it go!" Hong Tao really didn't think there was anything bad, and he could say a few words to the master as soon as he entered the escape cabin every day, which effectively alleviated the boring mining work.

Originally, I wanted to teach the master brain to learn a few curse words, and it would be fun to use this spaceship again in the future, but I didn't think that I and it seemed to be forever, and it was estimated that there would be no other pilots to take over, and at this time, it was even more precious to have a master brain who could laugh.

The video is a long stream, with the main character being an emaciated old man babbling on for almost an hour, followed by an unencrypted document that says the same thing. During this period, Hong Tao has been listening carefully and watching carefully, and he didn't interject in half a sentence, which is too rare.

It's not that the old man told it too well, but the story he told made Hong Tao have to consider every word.

The old man called himself Juan. Ruvio. Rodrigo, a space signals specialist from the New Roman Federation, joins six colleagues from different disciplines, plus two federal Navy clone pilots, to carry out a project called Bug Catcher aboard the scientific research ship Future.

The plan did not go so smoothly that it didn't even count as an abort. As soon as Future entered the wormhole, it was all over.

The spaceship was directly torn off by a huge gravitational force, and three of the four energy cores disappeared with a third of the hull, leaving one installed in the middle of the ship to work at the time and was also in a state of shutdown in an instant. After the overhaul, it was found that the main structure was seriously damaged, and although it could work intermittently, it could not last long.

What's worse is still behind, that's right, it's the back, due to design reasons, the spacecraft is a little cramped inside, and the cargo compartment has to be centrally arranged, most of which are concentrated in the rear of the hull.

Now that the stern is gone, so is most of the cargo and equipment it carried, including the energy core and all the space scanning equipment, as well as the missile launcher and scanning probe launcher installed in the middle and rear of the hull.

What does this mean? It means a great tragedy. Claire has been tirelessly chattering about a question more than once when training Hong Tao:

As an exploration spacecraft, the scanning probe must be retrieved in time at all times and under all circumstances. On weekdays, when replenishing the ship's supplies, in addition to nutrient solution and weapons and ammunition, scanning probes are also the top priority, and it is not enough to have one or two sets of spare, and it is not too much to cram in three or five sets. It's also a habit to make it habitual, like instinct.

Claire's explanation is to be safe and prevent accidents in an unknown galaxy. At that time, Hong Tao didn't have too intuitive feelings, and listened to it somewhat, but he definitely didn't pay attention to it to the extent of cultivating cost ability.

Now listening to the story of this old man Juan Hu, cold sweat broke out on his back. When jumping from the asteroid belt to the wormhole, it seems that the probe launched by itself did not have time to be retracted...... As for whether there is a backup in the cargo hold, I really can't remember!

If he also loses all the scanning probes, then he will end up like Old Man Hu and them, trapped here alive. Even if there is an exit to the federal capital system not far away, it is impossible to see anything with a black eye, and the spacecraft's own scanning equipment alone cannot accurately locate the unknown space signal, and it is impossible to obtain the transition data. If you want to rely on the spaceship's own flight ability, even if this big spaceship is not broken, it may not be able to survive after flying for a hundred years.

For spaceships, the scanning probe is like a sextant on a sailboat in the Age of Discovery, without it, just by watching the stars and the sun cross the Pacific Ocean, it would be possible to have the luck of the mid-term lottery to see the other side alive.

And then there was no more, and the remaining energy core on the Future was completely stopped after more than two years, and no energy could be provided. Old man Hu and the others relied on the power in the main capacitor and the spare capacitor of the spacecraft for another seven months, and finally froze to death and starved to death in the escape pod.

Light? Don't bother with that effort, laying the entire ship with light panels is not enough power for the nine escape pods, and the New Edenians have long since abandoned the chicken rib light energy.

On the day when the spaceship's energy core stopped, there was a sad incident, two federal Navy clone pilots escaped in order to pursue the possibility of survival, and also took the only energy supply, the energy core on the shuttle.

In fact, even if there is a shuttle, its energy core alone will not last long. But this incident greatly hit the confidence of the remaining seven scientists, once the person lost the hope of life, he could no longer raise his motivation, and only two months later, someone died one after another, and the old man Hu was considered to have good will and physical fitness, and persevered to the end.

When the last of his companions also left, he recorded it, hoping that one day it would be discovered by explorers and tell the world about this dusty history. The nine of them did not resign themselves to fate, but still tried their best to fight to the death against nature, but they were not capable enough and finally failed.

Later generations commented that they couldn't control it, but Old Man Hu thought that his children should be proud of them, including the two Navy clone pilots who escaped, and wished them a way to live.

", this is your grandfather!" At the end of the document was the names of the nine expedition members, family members and other information, and the first line was that of Old Man Hu, which made Hong Tao shocked.

Old man Hu has only one daughter, who is married to Otero, the heir of the Yizhuhu Group. Jiarui. For the first time, Hong Tao knew what Claire's mother's name was, and she had a very Latin and unusually fierce name, Mercedes, Anna. Mercedes. Rodriguez.

Among the remaining eight people, there are five who are familiar to Hong Tao, all of whom are members of the eight major families of the Federation, and the remaining three have no impression, but they should not be unknown. It is no wonder that these families can prosper for a long time, in addition to the abundant capital and talents, a strong sense of honor and social responsibility is also the key.

The bug catching project itself is a very risky business, these nine people are all voluntary, give up all personal rights, all profits go to the Federation, and similarly, all risks are also borne by themselves.
