Chapter 29: Reflection
"Brother Captain. After www.biquge.info the image disappeared, Atlas reported again, "After half an hour of searching, the rescue team on the Green Star found only three survivors, six dead, and the remaining twenty-five crew members are still missing. After a storm on the planet swept through the search and rescue area, there was little hope for these people to survive. ”
After hearing the final result, Zhou Xin suddenly felt deep self-blame, "It's all my fault, if I don't agree with them going to Green Star, then so many people won't die." ”
"It's not your fault." Spred comforted, "Who could have predicted that the spherical battleship would suddenly appear in front of us, there is nothing wrong with your decision." ”
"Spred was right." Dart agreed, and said in a sad tone, "There is nothing wrong with the decision to go to Green Star, it's just that the spherical battleship just happened. And, if we were wrong, our mistake would be even more serious. After all, if our educational methods had not been so drastic in the first place, perhaps most people would have survived to wait for help to come. ”
"I mean more than that." Zhou Xin shook his head, his tone was a little heavy, "What's more important is the previous attitude, I'm not regretting agreeing to let people go to Green Star, but regretting that I agreed too easily, so that I didn't make perfect preparations before going to Green Star." Have you noticed that since we narrowly escaped from the pursuit of the spherical battleship, some of us have begun to despise each other? I even thought that the universe was so big that it was impossible for the other party to find us, but I didn't expect them to reappear in front of us in less than a year. ”
Zhou Xin's words undoubtedly pointed out the thoughts in the hearts of everyone present, so after listening to it, everyone who originally wanted to persuade Zhou Xin fell silent at the same time. Among them, even Dart, who knows the most about spherical battleships, is no exception.
In the silence of everyone, Zhou Xin continued to reflect: "Moreover, we also had obvious problems when dealing with emergencies before. Imagine what would happen if the spherical battleship appeared not near the green star, but on the innermost planet? This assumption made the faces of everyone in the command cabin change instantly, and then Zhou Xin himself replied, "I'm afraid our journey will end here." ”
"But they didn't find our ship." At this time, a person in front of Zhou Xin retorted.
"Yes, it wasn't us that they found this time, but can you guarantee that they won't come straight at us next time?" Zhou Xin asked rhetorically, "Even if we get away with it next time, can you guarantee that we will be so lucky every time?" ”
Under a series of rhetorical questions, the rebuttal was suddenly speechless. Zhou Xin didn't care, but continued to reflect: "When we first came here, the situation was indeed more urgent, and it was understandable to act hastily. But while everything was stable, we still didn't realize that it was a bit of a lack of caution to build defenses on the makeshift base and allow the Voyager to do the necessary concealment. If we had made similar preparations, we wouldn't have panicked as much as we did two days ago when the spherical battleship appeared. ”
Darton nodded and added, "Moreover, some preparation in advance is not just to prevent the sudden appearance of the enemy, it can also act as a buffer against the emergence of any other unknown civilization, so that the sudden contact will seem overwhelming for both sides." You're right, after leaving the opposing civilizations, we did slack off a bit. ”
"Fortunately, we found out early, and the damage is not very serious." Spred said with trepidation.
"Well, hopefully we can learn from it and not make the same mistake again in the future." Zhou Xin said solemnly.
After reflection, Spred asked, "What do you think is the purpose of the spherical battleship coming here this time?" ”
After pondering for a while, Zhou Xin slowly replied, "The only thing that can be determined is that it should be related to Green Star. ”
"I don't think they're here looking for something?" Dart said in an uncertain tone, "Didn't they send a spaceship to the surface of the planet before?" ”
"Then why did they destroy the entire planet in the future?" Spred asked.
"The search was unsuccessful, so you ended up angry?"
"I don't think it's that simple." Zhou Xin said thoughtfully, "If it were you, would you choose to blow up the entire planet when you couldn't find something?" I think they should have come for something more important, and then in the case of failure, it is also possible that what happened to the ship on the planet angered them, so they blew up the entire planet before leaving. ”
"And what do you think would be more important?" Dart asked.
"I'm afraid only they know about it." Zhou Xin shook his head helplessly.
Speaking of this, Spred sighed, "It's just a pity for those green elves on the planet, they had the opportunity to evolve into a highly intelligent civilization." But a bombing completely deprived them of their homeland and brought them to the brink of extinction. ”
"yes." Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, "And who would have thought that their previous act of sneaking onto the spaceship would actually become the only hope for the entire race to survive." I'm afraid that now on our ship are all the green elves that exist on the Green Star. ”
"Theoretically, that's how it should be." At this time, on the green star, a storm that swept the entire planet from both sides at the same time had already collided. On the impact surface, with the strong squeezing of the storm on both sides, a large amount of dust was thrown higher into the air, and with the subsequent influx of air, more and more dust piled up various patterns in the sky above the green star.
After the storm, the dark green ground on the green star completely changed. The whole ground seemed to be ploughed all over again, the dark green color disappeared completely, and all that could be seen in space was a patch of black areas, if Zhou Xin guessed correctly, it should be the black soil under the tree. In some places, violent storms have swept away all of the soil, exposing large areas of blue-gray rock that cover the soil.
"Looks like we're going to have another group of companions on our ship." Looking at the picture on the screen, Zhou Xin said softly......
