Chapter 1: No Turning Back

In the deep, dark space, only a few small dots with yellow light can be seen.

A huge spaceship, like a fin whale, is moving forward. There was a faint blue light trailing at the tail, like a soft candlelight.

Inside the bridge hall.

In front of the curved console, on the silver chair in the middle, sat a beautiful woman, her long hair coiled up, wearing a silver-white commander uniform, a rudder badge pinned to her chest, and a tight-fitting uniform highlighted the proud curves.

At this moment, facing the screen in front of her, the woman pressed the log button and recorded today's situation:

"July 11, 2280, 9:58:36, 35th year since the Blue Space launched its voyage."

"We're halfway there, and we still have thirty years left to reach our destination, the Ulf system."

"We see a glimmer of hope, it's just ...... There were also some difficulties. ”

"At the time of departure, we had insufficient supplies and only enough supplies for 120,000 crew members, but now the number of crew members has exceeded 150,000 due to the lack of strict birth restrictions."

"The birth of new life has brought a lot of vitality to the spacecraft, and the consumption of materials has intensified, so we have to implement rationing, issue birth bans, and reduce the number of large-scale entertainment events to reduce consumption"

"Problems followed, the happiness of the crew decreased significantly, pessimism spread, suicide and mania increased, fear broke down the fragile defenses of some people's hearts, and some went to extremes, which caused even greater chaos and unrest."

The woman frowned, her face was full of helplessness: "I don't have a good way to solve those problems, and even caused some crew members to complain, from the departure to the present, we have not experienced the real suffering, and now we have just had a little hard life to make it like this, how should we live the remaining thirty years?" ”

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart.

Lowering his head, he reached out and turned off the video recording.

Caught in a state of negativity.

Aggressive~

Several footsteps came from behind him.

A handsome man wearing the uniform of a defense officer walked to the woman's left side in two steps, saluted and said: "Captain, the rebellion in the F living area has been suppressed by my people, and most of the 263 unstable elements who created chaos and tried to incite violence with rumors were killed on the spot, and a small number of them were all sentenced to death after surrendering, and they were immediately executed. ”

Hearing the word 'death', the woman's body trembled.

Turning his head to look at the handsome man, he said, "Bai Fangwei, there is no need to kill the surrenderer, just put him in a cell." She had a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"The problem is that the cells were demolished ten years ago, and the overpopulation is crowding out all available space."

The handsome man said: "And now the only way to curb the spread of chaos is to impose the death penalty on all felons in troubled times, which is the conclusion reached by the Pangu system after deduction. ”

"Captain, twenty years ago, you didn't follow Pangu's advice and didn't issue a birth ban in time, which led to an increase of 30,000 people on the ship, and it is true that the birth of a child has brought a lot of hope and vitality to everyone, but it has also led to the chaos it is today."

"So, it's all my fault, right?"

The female captain stared, her fingers clenched...... At that time, there were many pairs of male and female crew members on the spaceship who fell in love and had the crystallization of love, and she really didn't want to stop such a thing.

If human beings do not have love, how can they continue?

Now it seems that it was indeed irrational thinking in her mind that prevailed at that time.

The handsome man hurriedly said: "No, no, you are not wrong, from the perspective of the continuation of natural people, it is better for human beings to be born from the mother's body, and the long voyage of more than sixty years is enough for all human beings to lose their natural fertility...... From this point of view, even if the burden is a little higher, it is worth it. ”

"Pangu deduced that if you only maintain the minimum survival, increase sleep time and reduce the amount of exercise, it is a problem to feed 200,000 people in the spaceship, but it is just ...... Not many people endure this life. ”

The female captain shook her head slightly, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Speaking of "luxury", she couldn't help but think of the material comforts she had in court life when she was young, which was called the real "luxury".

In the past, I used to eat top-quality ingredients shipped from all over the world, all labeled as "organic", "green", and "natural", and they were cooked by top chefs, and the deliciousness was ......

Now it's a ton of artificial food + compressed energy blocks, with no texture and taste to speak of, just to survive.

"Steak, tuna, foie gras, caviar...... It's been a long time since I've eaten these foods, and I've almost forgotten their taste, and now even if I am given a naturally grown green, it is undoubtedly the most luxurious enjoyment. ”

Of course, she is not greedy for appetite, and what she can't let go of in her heart is still those relatives she loves the most, the devastated hometown, and the nightmarish war.

Even after decades, she still wakes up from her dreams.

Before I knew it, my eyes were filled with a circle of moisture.

Thinking of the uncertain future, thinking of the next challenges, she shouldered the survival of the entire human race, and her heart was shrouded in a haze, no matter how strong she usually was, she felt a trace of fear and fear at this moment.

"White Guard."

She couldn't help but ask the handsome man beside her, "Is it a bad decision for us to leave our home planet and go to the Walf system fourteen light-years away?" I always felt that there would be something bad waiting for us, and it was better not to leave the home planet. No matter where we go, we can't get rid of the mysterious forces, they must still be watching us! ”

Feel the uneasiness of the captain.

Bai Shengqi was a little surprised, the captain, who had always been like a rock and would never waver, actually showed a confused and suspicious side.

"I don't know."

He shook his head and said, "I don't know much about science, and I don't know how strong our enemy really is. I only know that since I have embarked on this path, I must go on firmly, there is no possibility of turning back, even if the front is destruction, I will fight for humanity to the end. ”

Mu Yunhua was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "I understand, thank you Bai Guard, I know what to do." ”

At this moment, her hands did not tremble, there was no fear in her heart, and her eyes regained her determination.

Whatever the outcome, she must continue on this desperate, irreversible adventure.
