Chapter 4: Amnesia in Deep Space
In 1969, humans landed on the moon, and the total population of the world was 800 million.
In 2009, the Kepler telescope was launched to search for terrestrial planets, with a total world population of 6.777 billion.
In 2153, the Pario 17 space probe landed on the planet Tannis, and mankind watched with hope the images of the planet Tannis.
On the only terrestrial planet known to man so far, plant-like beings have been discovered.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is an unprecedented moment of glory for all mankind, and on the planet Tannis, certain features of life have been discovered, and living matter has been detected here. Humanity has discovered new habitats that are destined to go down in history today! ”
This year, the total population of the world reached 22.434 billion, and the scarcity of food and water resources seriously troubled mankind.
In 2174, when the war for resources was on the verge of breaking out, all of humanity cooperated and the Elysium spacecraft, known as "Noah's Ark" by a few, was launched to the planet Tannis.
After 26 years of flying, Elysium received the last message from Earth.
"War broke out... Earth... Imminent destruction... You're the only humans left... Good luck... Have a safe trip... May God... You guys..."
After a long hibernation in 897, Flying Group 5, spacecraft engineer Bauer, woke up from his deep sleep capsule.
After a long period of deep sleep, Bauer had the problem of memory loss, and when he detected that the occupants had woken up, the door of the deep sleep pod opened automatically, and Bauer crawled out of the deep sleep pod with convulsions.
After waking up from deep sleep, the unique disorientation disorder made Bauer lose the ability to identify the direction for a while, coupled with the recovery of physical functions, the nervous system gradually resumed work, and the whole body periodically produced bursts of convulsions.
After a while, Bauer, feeling better, reached out and unplugged the energy supply pipe, retched and vomited the remaining supply liquid in his stomach, and began to fumble around in the cabin.
Bauer, who slowly regained some of his memories, found his locker, a photo of a blonde woman, and put it in the most prominent position, "My wife? ”
A face flashed through Bauer's mind, he thought about it for a while, shook his head, put aside his doubts for a while, and began to get dressed.
"Buzz"
A huge wave of power surge spread, and a thought instantly floated through Bauer's mind, "Something is wrong with the reactor!" ”
Reactor? What is a reactor? Bauer asked himself suspiciously, and the light in the cabin suddenly flickered, made a sizzling sound, and then went out.
Bauer put down the memories and pulled the light stick out of the locker.
By the faint light, Bauer inspected the cabin, in the cabin, there were three sleeping pods, two of which were empty, and Bauer glanced at the other one that had been opened, and on it was Lieutenant Cooper.
Ball walked to the front of the third sleeping pod, looked at the name on it, and patted the pod loudly, "Captain Peyton!" ”
After a while, Bauer abandoned the pointless move and shifted his gaze to the console, which was located in the center of the cabin.
Before he could walk over, there was another power surge with the violent tremor of the spaceship.
"Poof" With the sound of air moving, Captain Peyton's deep sleep pod automatically opened.
It was at this time that Chen Changming stepped through the portal and appeared here.
Alarmed by Chen Changming's deliberately aggravated footsteps, Bauer picked up the wrenches scattered on the ground, and the bright light of the flashlight swept across the dim cabin.
The electronic eye on the outside of the armor, under the illumination of the flashlight, reflects a strange red light.
Chen Changming walked up to the vigilant white youth, "Your name, soldier!" ”
"Corporal Bauer! Sir! The familiar taste in Chen Changming's words lifted the spirits of Bauer, who was a little confused at this time, and he stood up straight and replied loudly.
"Bauer?" Chen Changming listened to the answer of the white young man in front of him, glanced at the other person who was sitting on the ground, and thought to himself, "This is that madman?" ”
With a wave of his hand, his own soldier quickly walked to the hatch with a laser cutter and began to break down.
Bauer was a little puzzled, "Sir? ”
Chen Changming interrupted Bauer's question, "When it's all over, I'll tell you, now, I need you to recall all your memories as soon as possible." ”
Two medical personnel in chemical protective suits ran over quickly, sat down Bauer, and began to examine him.
The familiar human face behind the gas mask made Bauer obediently cooperate with the medical staff's examination.
"The body's functions are dormant for a long time, triggering the body's automatic protection mechanism, as short as an hour, as long as a week, you will slowly recover your memory, don't worry." After the medical staff finished speaking, he took out the nutritious meal prepared in advance and handed it to Bauer.
The sense of security brought by the filling of the belly with food made Bauer's nervous mood slowly return to calm.
He began to slowly recall everything, and after a while, he shook his head at the medical staff, a little frustrated, "I still can't remember." ”
At this moment, there was another strong power surge, and a flash of inspiration flashed in Bauer's mind, and he suddenly spoke, "This is a reactor malfunction, and the system is constantly trying to restart." ”
Chen Changming looked at Bauer, "Do you remember?" ”
"A little." After Bauer finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the console and sat down, "The equipment on the spacecraft has a manual start device, which is used to manually generate electricity in an emergency. As he spoke, he opened a lid in the corner of the console and powered the console with a prepared hand-cranked generator.
Bauer skillfully manipulated the console, and the virtual panel quickly switched between screens, and the final freeze frame kept flashing red as a symbol of warning.
"The reactor has run out of fuel and needs to be replaced." Bauer glanced at it and subconsciously said, and he was stunned after speaking.
"Looks like you're our ship's engineer." Captain Peyton, who had just finished his nutritious meal, suddenly spoke.
"Captain Peyton, are you feeling better?" Ball looked at Captain Peyton in surprise.
"I feel better." After Captain Peyton finished speaking, he looked at Chen Changming and his party scrutinically, "In my recovered memory, it seems that there are no passengers like you on this ship." ”
Chen Changming looked at Captain Peyton and asked mockingly, "Are you really Captain Peyton?" ”
"Alright, Bauer, now tell me, can you find the reactor and refuel it to restore the power supply to the entire ship?" Chen Changming signaled that he was optimistic about Peyton, and turned his head to ask Ball.
"I think it should be fine, although my memory has not been restored, my instinct will tell me what to do, like this." Bauer said, gesturing to the console.
"Commander, the hatch is open." Everyone's eyes were focused on the hatch that had been burned out and opened automatically after a short circuit.
Chen Changming nodded, "Then let's go." ”
