The Federation's Europa exploration program failed, not only did it not find extraterrestrial life, but it almost put astronauts in it, although it was rescued by the Deep Space Group, but the two landing craft were scrapped directly, which is not a small loss.

And according to news reports, the rescue spacecraft of the Deep Space Group also suffered an accident on the way back, being attacked by asteroid debris and penetrating the right bulkhead.

Later, after the rescued federal astronauts broke the news, the Archangel also encountered such a situation, the same was pierced by miniature debris, after they reported to the command center, the command center still let them continue to move forward, they did not rule out whether the impact was related to the failure of the entire mission, they reserved the right to sue the command center.

Anyway, this incident is a lot of uproar, and it also proves to people the danger of interstellar exploration, and mankind is not prepared at all.

Originally, many people felt that the deep space group had a spacecraft that could fly to one hundredth of the speed of light, and it would definitely be easy to explore deep space, but they didn't expect that there were so many dangerous places in deep space exploration.

Coupled with the manipulation of the Ten Rings Alliance behind the scenes, the mainstream voices in the world are now in favor of stopping deep space exploration and instead focusing on the Garden Star.

Human civilization still needs to continue to accumulate strength, rationally develop home satellites, study space vehicle protection technology, and then manage low-earth orbit and slowly expand into space is the right choice.

Of course, this is something that ordinary people know, what ordinary people don't know is that there is no problem with the rescue ship at all, even if it is hit by miniature fragments, its armor will not be damaged, it is a spaceship of the Deep Space Group, and the technology used cannot be measured at the level of the home star.

During the return journey, Gordon and the others learned a lot about the people on the spaceship, including the establishment of the Ten Rings Alliance, as well as most of the technological developments.

It was only after learning about it that they realized how much the world had changed, and it was only a year.

People who stay on the home planet every day may not feel that there is any problem, at most it is just developing too fast, but in the eyes of those astronauts who have been "isolated" from the home planet for more than a year, there must be a problem here, which can be regarded as a "bystander clear" in a sense.

Especially as elite astronauts, after being safe, their IQ is all online, and they are not idle on the way back, the command center constantly contacts them through the satellite communication system of the Deep Space Group, and tells them some requirements after returning to their home satellite.

Since the Archangel has an intelligent core and can fly back on its own when no one is around, everyone gathers on the rescue ship.

Even though Elsa hadn't landed on Europa, she was a participant in the whole process, and they were very angry when they heard the news, and they paid so much to find alien creatures, but they were almost by not saying anything.

But they can't help it, they are just astronauts, the state has a hundred ways to shut them up, and if they cooperate, there are internal rewards to take, if they don't cooperate, not only will they have nothing, but they will be restricted from their activities.

Fortunately, the space agency also gave them an outlet, they could scold the people from the space agency, scold as they pleased, anyway, someone is behind the black pot, and there is this item in the plan.

And after receiving this order, they have a more "thorough" understanding of the changes in the homeland star for more than a year.

They also met privately and discussed these issues before returning to their home planet, and they quickly focused on extraterrestrial life, or extraterrestrial events.

These astronauts will always have something to do with alien incidents, and they don't know much about the situation of those predecessors, but they definitely ran into it this time.

They have experienced an extraterrestrial event, and behind the whole thing, they feel that 99% of it may be an extraterrestrial civilization.

Otherwise, the Federation and the Alliance will unite, hehe.

Since the Federation declared Europa mission a failure, interstellar voyage exploration activities on Homeland have come to a standstill, and other countries with these plans have announced the suspension of projects, and even the Deep Space Group, which has high-speed spacecraft, has said that it will not carry out long-distance exploration in the short term.

Deep Space Group's near-term space plan is to expand its orbital shipyard, then establish a lunar minerals and manufacturing branch, and then a Mars minerals and manufacturing branch.

Tourism is not considered for the time being.

After the latest transport ship is officially put into production, it will open flights between the home planet and the moon, and the same is true to Mars, which is not particularly high-speed spacecraft, which is very suitable for this kind of short- and medium-distance space transportation, and to Mars is not considered a long voyage.

After all, the alliance has already taken root there and established no small scientific research base.

In this way, the world has entered the mode of holding back the big move, the world of ordinary people is leveling down, the economy is developing rapidly, and the Ten Rings Alliance has really played a role in maintaining world peace.

In the world of the Ten Rings Alliance, there is the continuous supply of blood from the Octopus spacecraft, the continuous development of space technology, and the rapid development of space cities, lunar heavy industry cities, and Martian heavy industry bases.

It's just that the boundary between the two "worlds" seems to be becoming more and more obvious, seeing that space technology is becoming more and more developed, but ordinary people have fewer and fewer opportunities to enter space.

The "sense of responsibility" of various space companies and space agencies is getting stronger, saying that space is too dangerous and that they will upgrade their spacecraft well enough before they can start commercial tourism.

But many astronomy enthusiasts have clearly found that space is getting busier and busier, and the spaceships that are moored in the spaceport are almost endless, and they don't believe that they are all unmanned spacecraft.

But so what, time passes.

In a flash, years passed.

"Help, help, the Federation spaceship "White Pearl" is stranded in the 363.365.021 area, please ...... the ship receiving this distress message in accordance with the Interstellar Rescue Act"

"Help, help, the Federation spaceship "White Pearl" is stranded in the 363.365.021 area, please ...... the ship receiving this distress message in accordance with the Interstellar Rescue Act"

A shipwhack that has lost power is floating in the silence of space, moving in the direction it flew in before the power was gone, and the people on board are helpless about this situation, because the engine failure has exceeded their ability to repair it.

"Uncle John, will we be rescued?" A young crew member sat on the floor of the ship's cockpit and asked the middle-aged man who was also sitting next to him.

"Don't worry, the Ten Rings Alliance is very strict in this regard, as long as a spacecraft receives our distress message, it will definitely come." The middle-aged man put down the pager and rubbed the young man's head.
