"Dandelion Project" Chapter 1 Flower Umbrella
LeBron Hoin is the captain of an immigrant starship, the Parachute, from Warlandon, USA, his father is a soldier, and his mother is a military doctor, so LeBron has been deeply influenced by military culture since he was a child. On board the Parachute, he was responsible for the daily lives of the entire ship's crew and controlled the only armed peacekeeping force of just 20 people. LeBron has a somewhat stern personality, so everyone else on the ship is more or less afraid of him.
The Flower Umbrella is not as beautiful and harmonious as its name, and the 1,000 people on the ship not only have their own unfinished work every day, but are even subject to many constraints.
Non-peacekeepers are not allowed to carry any controlled knives; Two people of the opposite sex who are not in a conjugal relationship must not be alone; Male crew members are not allowed to gather more than 3 people together except in the workplace; Every crew member must recite the rules of the Flower Umbrella every night before going to bed; ……
Even the content of children's learning is to obey orders and follow commands, and they are not allowed to have their own ideas at all, even if it is a private room, and peacekeepers must be able to come and go freely at all times.
There is no harmony here, let alone equality, and the whole starship society is like an absolute monarchy in ancient times. Of course, this is an extraordinary time, and it is still a stage of wandering, and until a new environment suitable for survival is found, absolute monarchy is the most efficient system!
LeBron stood at the bow of the ship, the large control room was brightly lit, and the surrounding walls were full of busy operators, staring at the seventy or eighty-inch electronic display in front of him, crackling and controlling the instruments.
A little further forward in the center of the control room is a 3D stereoscopic galaxy projection, and the "flower umbrella" logo in the center refers to the starship itself.
At this moment, the Flower Umbrella has long left the solar system and is floating in the deep cosmic space. There is an absolute vacuum around it, and in the distance you can only see the light emitted by the scattered stars tens of thousands of years ago, and beyond that, you can't see any matter, or even hear any sounds outside the starship.
Ning's loneliness, quietness!
At this moment, the starship is like a flat boat in the depths of the sea, which can only drift aimlessly, drifting......
After carrying out the "Dandelion Project" in the space city five years ago, the Flower Umbrella left the main space city and walked towards the galactic Sagittarius cantilevered alone. During a journey at a tenth of the speed of light, it travels through most of the Orion spiral arm (our solar system, which is located at the edge of the Orion cantilever). Even if we reach the Sagittarius cantilever, it is estimated that it will take 35,400 years to find a suitable planet for survival.
Therefore, most of the people on the starship expect to find a suitable planet on the nearby Orion spiral arm, and there is no need to continue to wander to the distant Sagittarius cantilever.
Of course, when the "Dandelion Project" sowed starships, it was not only the Flower Umbrella starship. The Galleon, the Mouse, the Crescent, the Midtown, and so on, a thousand starships, scattered in all directions with the wind like dandelions sown in the breeze.
These 1,000 starships have sufficient nuclear fusion energy reserves, which can produce light and heat on their own to maintain the entire small ecosystem.
And once these starships find the "soil" that they can live in, they will try to take root and grow into another dandelion in that strange and barren land. Only in this way, after the next planting season arrives, can they sow seeds into the unknown deep space and let them fly to a more distant and mysterious place - to take root and sprout!
"Sprinkle the fire of human civilization throughout the galaxy!"
This is what Ding Beihai, the last supreme leader, said before the destruction of the earth, and this sentence is also the source of motivation for the residents on the starship to continue to live.
And all of this was 5 years ago......
