88 Akashi Genesis
After the roundtable, Etlord rode to the Chaos Arena in a scooter.
While Etlord was having a 3D video conference with the Roundtable Fellows, Evelyn had already taken Lili back to the fortress along with Derek and sent them into the Chaos Altar. There, Derek will undergo a body repair surgery using the confidential techniques of the Roundtable Freemasonry.
The first casualty in the Chaos Altar, and the first case for Ace to undergo body repair surgery, was none other than Mu Qi, who now calls himself Etlord and is regarded as Nelson by unwitting outsiders. So, when Etlord saw the bruised Derek quietly suspended in the body repair fluid of the body repairer, he couldn't help but recall his memories of the past.
In an instant, Etlord remembered his time on the Red Star again.
More than 30 years have passed, but looking back, Etlord feels that he and Haruko are tightly clasped with their fingers in the roar of rockets, holding their breath, and the scene of being bound by a seat belt in the largest starship ever built by Ace humans takes off, as if it just happened yesterday.
In retrospect, the 10-month interstellar journey from Ace to Red Star didn't seem like a long time for them, because the spacecraft operated with two people standing guard and the others sleeping for most of the voyage, and the space travel time that Mu Qi and Haruko really felt was only a few months. In addition, each pair of astronauts is on duty on a one-day basis. That is to say, during the entire interstellar journey, Mu Qi and Haruko had to wait for 9 days of dormancy in exchange for a day of meeting, although they could not actually feel the long 9 days of dormancy.
In that short but unforgettable month, Mu Qi and Haruko were the only awake people they could see in the world. In addition to sending messages to Ace on time, they were supposed to be during the flight, reviewing the "Red Star Survival and Exploration Strategy" and solving the real-world problems that the intelligent system simulated for them that they might encounter during the creation of Red Star. However, the brilliant Mu Qi and Haruko had already memorized the strategy backwards and penetrated the mock question bank before they set off. As a result, the month of interstellar travel spent in the spaceship became their particularly unique interstellar honeymoon trip.
Etlord vividly remembers that the spacecraft, called Akashi Genesis 1, was a combination of several separate capsules with different functions. These capsules will be combined with several robotic landing modules that will arrive in advance to form a ground base on Akastar with an area the size of several football fields.
Ideally, the first base established by the Ace Humans on the Red Star would have close to 100% carbon and water cycle capabilities, and even if no energy was replenished from the outside at all, its standing material storage would be enough for twenty people to eat and drink for a hundred years in the Red Star.
Of course, the explorers of the Red Star Greening Project are not just trying to run to Red Star for alien survival experiments. The reason why Red Star was chosen as the first alien base of the Ace Humans is because it contains the chemical elements necessary for the survival of all life on Ace, as well as many valuable and valuable mineral deposits. However, the atmospheric composition and surface environment of the red star are far from being suitable for human life, which will pose a huge challenge to explorers.
According to the established plan, after arriving at Akastar, the Akastar greening explorers will try to use the resources of Akastar to synthesize various necessary raw materials for life and production, and then make various industrial products, continuously expand the Akastar base, and establish human civilization.
During the first few months of the explorers' life on Akashi, everything went well. The smooth landing, the smooth docking and reorganization of the space capsule, the smooth power supply of the solar panels, the smooth operation of the carbon cycle and water cycle system, and the smooth completion of the base all proceeded in an orderly manner according to the process simulated by "Shengtian".
However, it was all destroyed in an extreme cataclysm caused by an unexpected asteroid impact.
No, actually, no one knows if the Red Star Base has really been completely destroyed. Even if Mu Qi, after 30 years of hard work, became Etlord and Nelson, he still didn't fully know what happened in the end on that distant red star.
What Mu Qiang saw with his own eyes and remembered vividly was that he connected the circuit to the reactor, but when he was overjoyed, he was hit by a flying stone; He still vaguely remembered Haruko calling out to himself over and over again......
Over and over again......
However, when Mu Qi woke up from a coma that lasted for an unknown amount of time, he found that he was already in the body repairer in the Chaos Altar.
For 30 years, Mu Qi has been trying to figure out what happened on the red star when he was unconscious. When Mu Qi became Etlord, he was able to grasp some secrets about the greening of the Red Star.
It turns out that the Red Star greening project is not as simple and pure as it advertises to the outside world. In addition to the explicit goals of opening up land and developing mineral resources in Chixing, the Chixing Greening Project also shoulders the hidden task of carrying out a number of secret scientific research experiments.
Most of these experiments involve high-risk research areas that are prohibited by Ethiopian countries and international organizations, including the comprehensive use of nuclear radiation, chemical interference, biochemical synthesis and other methods to develop gene-edited organisms; Super artificial intelligence system, and even intends to carry out research and development of antimatter, dark energy technology. Moreover, the specific implementation of these secret experiments will be carried out by robots controlled by artificial intelligence systems. At that time, in the Akashi Greening Project exploration team, only the team leader and deputy team leader knew the truth about these experiments and were responsible for monitoring the operation of all robots.
In Nelson's identity, Mu Que also found out that Nelson also sent a rescue spacecraft after learning of the attack on the Red Star Base, but all the information only showed that the rescue spacecraft rescued Mu Qiang and Mary, but did not mention the whereabouts of the others.
That is, after the two of them were rescued and returned to Ace, the entire Red Star greening project was suspended. All the relevant teams were disbanded, the related companies declared bankruptcy, and everything was gradually faded into history.
