Chapter 2 Perseverance to the unknown

One by one, one by one, the data was quickly remitted to the command center.

"Report 27: Cargo hold suffered a frontal impact, more than half of the material was lost, and the remaining 70% was damaged."

"Report 5: 30% of the Astronomical Module is damaged, all remote observation equipment is missing, and only 20% of the remaining equipment is operational."

"Report 18: The weapons bay is badly damaged, 85% of the weapons are missing, and the rest are all short-range kinetic weapons."

"Report 9: Fatal impact on the animal compartment, 20% of the animals died, and 50% of the animals needed to be re-dormant." "Report 11: Frontal impact on the personnel compartment, 4,000 killed, 28,000 need to be put back to sleep."

"Report 12: Level 1 emergency response plan has been activated, all management committee members are recovering, and the damage management department is already operational."

"The telematics equipment is working fine, but no signal is being received."

……

In the command hall of the administrative center, a huge three-dimensional structural diagram appeared in the air. Smith stood in front of the podium, working intensely, he was the interim commander of this rotation, the director of the exploration center, and Alice's father.

The first to arrive at the command center was the head of the maintenance center, Joseph. Rudolph, who is in charge of the damage management department, according to various emergency plans, one by one instructions are issued in an orderly manner, and all departments are running at high speed.

Ten minutes later, all the members of the Ninth Warehouse Management Committee had arrived. They are:

Chairman of the Ninth Warehouse Management Committee: Mike. William

Command Center Commander: Tim. Richard

Director of the Administrative Center: John. Max

Director of the Security Center: David Sanben

Director of the Experimental Center: David. yellow

Director of the Exploration Center: Henry. Smith

Director of the Medical Center: Lucy. Brown

Director of the maintenance center: Joseph. Rudolph

Director of the Military Operations Division: Wu Tanghan

Director of the Logistics Support Department: Wang Weiguo

It's a general command system, where the commander is in charge of everything, can be dictatorial, or he can choose a controversial solution or abandon an issue in a nine-vote five-election system. The Chairman of the Management Committee of the 9th Warehouse is not involved in the day-to-day management, but if five people propose to the Chairman of the Management Committee to elect another Commander, the new Commander will be elected by nine votes.

After the personnel arrived, everyone had a basic understanding of the situation, and the commander Richard said first: "Henry, have the priorities been arranged?"

"Scheduled."

"The current pending matters are sorted by urgency, and they will be sent to you first, Henry, you are on duty, and I will first introduce the details of the current situation, as well as the reasons for the first priority and the direction of resolution."

"Gentlemen, it can be inferred from the currently available data that it was the explosion of the 7th compartment, that is, the No. 1 power compartment, which caused the 8th compartment to hit the head of our warehouse diagonally, and the weapons compartment, cargo compartment, and astronomical compartment of the head of our warehouse were seriously damaged, and after the cargo compartment was hit, a large number of engineering equipment was squeezed into the personnel compartment, which directly led to the death of 4,000 people. 28,000 people need to be resettled. Due to the oblique impact of our warehouse, the tail of the warehouse is intact, especially the energy cabin and power cabin, which are not damaged at all. ”

"At present, the first priority to solve is: the actual flight situation of the warehouse, all the remote equipment in the astronomical cabin is lost, and only 20% of the short-range equipment is currently operating, but there is no information. What is the actual flight situation in the warehouse, and how far are we from the formation? How big is the spatial rift here? What is our actual speed? These are the basis for our next decisions, and they need to be addressed immediately. ”

"The second thing that needs to be solved is that the communication pod in the warehouse is intact, and the remote communication equipment is working normally, but no useful information can be obtained. We urgently need to get in touch with the formation. ”

"It's Henry. Smith's report. ”

Commander Tim. Richard looked at everyone and said, "Do you have anything to say?" Seeing that no one spoke, he directly ordered: "I command:

First, an emergency management team was set up to command the commander of the center, Tim. Richard was the leader of the group, and the director of the experimental center, David Richard. Huang, Director of the Military Operations Department Wu Tanghan, Director of the Maintenance Center Joseph. Rudolph, director of the Inquiry Center, Henry. Smith, along with the remaining deputy directors of each department, immediately began to work.

Second, the establishment of the emergency management team preparatory group, with the chairman of the 9th warehouse management committee Mike . William was the leader of the group, and the director of the administrative center, John Brown. Max, Director of the Security Center David Yamamoto, Director of the Medical Center Lucy. Brown, Wang Weiguo, director of the logistics support department, and the deputy directors of the remaining departments as team members, have entered a shallow dormant period and are ready to take over the work at any time.

Third, the astronomical module of the experimental center will consult with the Military Operations Department to temporarily place the military exploration equipment in the corresponding position to find out the current situation of the spacecraft. At the same time, the Military Operations Service considered the possibility of sending the aircraft out of the cabin for reconnaissance.

Fourth, the maintenance center is responsible for the first priority task.

Fifth, the Exploration Center is responsible for the second priority task.

Sixth, the remaining ministries immediately began their corresponding tasks.

Seventh, the logistics support department set up a material deployment center in the command center to coordinate the use of materials.

Eighth, the commander sits in the command center and is responsible for the overall deployment.

Guys, let's get started. ”

……

It's been ten hours since the accident. The first two hours were hectic, and Alice, with the help of her sister-in-law Li Hui, did a simple check-up, and everything was fine. Because he is a staff on duty, he can only stay in his original post and wait for the assignment of emergency tasks. Two hours later, the emergency work was on track, and the work of Alice and Li Hui had been designated, and they were assigned to the personnel cabin. Because non-professional medical personnel cannot participate in the rescue of the injured, they can only assist professionals to test the dormant chamber, treat the dormant personnel or resuscitation according to the situation, or readjust the data to let them sleep again, 40 non-professionals, to check more than 20,000 dormant chambers, the task is very heavy, and it is necessary to hurry, otherwise people may die. Originally, there was an eight-hour shift, but I had no choice but to continue to work, if it weren't for the shift supervisor of the dormancy warehouse who forced her to come back to rest because she was pregnant, I'm afraid she would still be working now.

Dragging her tired body, Alice returned to her rest room, looked at the time, she had been working for eleven hours, after taking a water bath, she carefully stretched her waist, sat down to eat a pregnant meal, and slowly did a pregnant woman exercise, lying on the bed, rubbing her sore legs, and said to herself: "If you don't want to be lucky, he will be fine." I don't want to be lucky. ”

Alice rolled over again, "I didn't think about Yuncheng just now, and I don't want to now." Li Hui's sister-in-law doesn't want her Yunzhong, and I don't want Yuncheng either. They'll be fine! ”

Alice couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning in bed, and suddenly remembered the qigong that her father-in-law taught her in order to have a safe pregnancy: "This thing proved that the suburban fruit is not big hundreds of years ago, and my father-in-law also recommended it to me, does it really have the effect of improving sleep?" Alice sat up and took a few deep breaths, "Then try it." So she sat down cross-legged, put her hands in the shape of flowers, put them on her laps, closed her lips slightly, put her tongue on the roof of her mouth, and breathed slowly, and after a while, she calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.

A busy week has passed, except for a few key departments, everything else is back to normal, and there is no possibility of returning to the dead and the lost things. "My Su Yuncheng, where are you?" Alice sat in the growing room of the plant pod, silently thinking.

It has been two years and four months since the "Fulton" set off from Mars, and the Earth Chambers are still flying in the dark, perhaps not at all, it is just floating in the universe. But Alice doesn't think like this, she can clearly feel the passage of time, feel that the child in her belly is growing up day by day, in order to alleviate the longing for Su Yuncheng, Alice specially applied to be transferred to the plant cabin on duty, so as to easily learn about Su Yuncheng's past to her father-in-law Su Yinguo, that is, the director of the plant cabin, learn his specialty, and even know everything about him.

Su Yinguo is a scholar with deep knowledge of traditional Chinese culture, from whom Alice has learned a lot of Chinese culture and has a deeper understanding of the glory and inheritance of the Su family. I even saw the heirloom of the Su family: a kitchen knife made of unknown metal, but my father-in-law said that it was more like a bone chopping knife.

Two months have passed, and the Earth Chambers are still spinning in the dark, and after exhausting the astronomical reserves, the long-range detection capability of the Astronomical Cabin has returned to 40% of its previous level, but nothing has been learned about the situation around the spacecraft. According to the suggestion of Commander Richard, the large and medium-sized combat spacecraft of the military operations center were sent to fly out of the mothership, and the combat spacecraft used its own detection ability to evaluate the flight situation of the mothership.

After all the methods of pathfinding and contact failed, there was only one way in the end, and to choose a direction to sprint by luck, hoping to break out of the predicament. In the original design, the spacecraft's own energy was not enough to support long-distance flight, and normal flight relied on the three power compartments of the formation. Therefore, after the crash, the power compartment of the ship was not opened until the flight status and the location of the earth chamber were clarified, and the spacecraft was just drifting in the unknown deep sky. And this time, the plan is: after leaving the most basic energy reserves, use all the remaining energy at once, and rush in one direction, hoping to get out of the predicament.

On July 7, 3397, when Alice was more than eight months pregnant, the Ninth Warehouse Management Committee, held an enlarged meeting, and after understanding the current predicament, everyone agreed with the judgment of the command center: it believed that the ship was in an unknown subspace, and that it would never be able to get out if it did not break through this subspace. Everyone voted in favor of the proposal that decided to go all out in one direction. At the end of the meeting, the chairman of the Ninth Warehouse Management Committee, Mike Brown. William, on behalf of the Ninth Warehouse Management Committee, awarded the command center commander Tim. Richard, with full authority to carry out this order.

After 5 days of testing, the final sprint entered the countdown. Alice rejected the suggestion to enter the dormant chamber, which would not improve the safety factor, and it was better to stay awake with the child.

Su Yinguo has also been restless recently, Su has two sons in his generation, and there is hope that they will flourish in the future, but this time, the two sons are gone, and the only grandson has not yet been born, so he will be in trouble, will the Su family end up?

"30-minute countdown." Alice held the kitchen knife in the scabbard of rhinoceros leather tightly to her chest, quietly listened to the broadcast of the emergency radio, and calmed down, although her parents repeatedly asked to stay with them, Alice still chose to be with Su Yinguo and Li Hui. Seeing that Alice chose to be with him, Su Yinguo seemed to be relieved, his daughter-in-law was still her own family, and immediately took out the kitchen knife with a black rhinoceros skin scabbard and handed it to Alice.

"This is the heirloom of the old Su family, and it should be managed by the descendants of the Su family, and now I will hand it over to you, and you will collect it on behalf of the child. The upcoming moment is very important and very important to everyone, and it is also a critical moment for whether my Su family can continue, I hope you all have good luck, and I also hope that my Su family, good luck, purple gas from the east! "Su Yinguo seems to remember something? , said excitedly: "Yes, Ziqi Donglai, Alice, this child is called Donglai, Su Donglai, he is our Ziweixing, Good Luck Star, and Hope Star." As he spoke, he closed his eyes slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "Su Donglai, the lucky star of the Su family, the lucky star of the earth warehouse." God, bless and bless! ”

After hearing this, Li Hui closed her palms, and Alice also drew a cross.

"3, 2, 1, ignition." The cabin shook violently, and then the shaking became more and more intense, and the ship seemed to be flying faster and faster in one direction.

"Full power output of the energy chamber."

"The power compartment starts the magnetic power pack and enters the flight at double the speed of light."

"The energy chamber was rapidly overloaded and exploded fourteen seconds later."

"Ditch the energy cabin, the power cabin."

Then the energy capsule and the power module, under the detonation of the separation explosive device, were thrown together to the front of the entire spacecraft, and then flew forward rapidly, and the spacecraft slowed down sharply under the reaction force of the explosion, and at the same time activated the emergency braking, but the huge inertia still carried the spacecraft forward, like a giant chasing the bomb.

Fourteen seconds later, a huge explosion appeared in front of the spacecraft, and there was a violent explosion in the energy module and power module, and a burst of white light came out from this point, and then the white light became bigger and brighter, and gradually turned into a huge vortex, which continued to grow larger and deeper.

Alice stared intently at the hologram in front of her, a blooming gardenia, and even though the ship shook violently, it didn't distract her. It was the automatic surveillance video of the plant pod, and Alice deliberately projected a close-up of the flower in front of her eyes to calm her anxiety.

Suddenly, the bulkhead behind the gardenia lit up: the outermost anti-collision armor was knocked open, revealing the porthole behind the armor, Alice looked at it, and the pupil sensor automatically enlarged the image of the porthole, and as the image was enlarged, the situation outside the window became clearer and clearer.

The darkness outside the spaceship is like a canopy of heaven, and there is a bright white dot on the boundless canopy, which is getting brighter and bigger, and it is becoming larger and larger, and the edge of the disc is getting brighter and brighter, emitting a dazzling white light, but the middle is darkened, and the dark part slowly becomes a channel, and Alice can even see the light yellow background light of the starry sky opposite the passage.

"Daddy, Daddy!" Alice called anxiously to her father.

"Alice, your dad is in the command center, and you can't hear him call him that. What's wrong with you? ”

At this time, Li Hui, who was accompanying her, opened her eyes and asked. Su Yinguo, who was on the side, also opened his eyes, and when he saw this image, he asked, "Where is this image?" ”

"The porthole outside the growth room of the plant capsule No. 5 should have been knocked off by the crash armor."

"Where do you often sit and look at the flowers?"

"Yes, father."

"Command center, emergency. Command center, emergency. ”

"This is the command center."

"A8_295 report, a suspected space wormhole was found ahead, and an image was requested."

"It can't be."

"I am Su Yinguo, the director of the plant module of the experimental center, with the number A8_295, and I will report to the commander immediately."

"Wait a minute."

"I'm Commander Richard."

"I'm Su Yinguo, please receive the surveillance video of porthole 3203. Wormholes may be observed. The outer armor of the porthole was knocked off. ”

"The command center dealt with it immediately, continued to monitor the situation outside the window, and kept the communication open."

"Understood."

Two minutes later, the ship's backup engine kicked in and accelerated towards the suspected wormhole.

Gradually, everything in front of me became clearer, the thick wormhole barrier shone with white arcs, and the wormhole appeared to be huge, at least much larger than the Earth Warehouse, and it was slowly getting bigger.

"Father, the wormhole is getting bigger?" Alice looked at the surveillance video in front of her and asked Su Yinguodao.

"Yes."

"I found that the wormhole is getting bigger and bigger, but the arc on the cave wall is getting weaker and weaker, will the wormhole collapse?"

Su Yinguo also became more and more uneasy the more he looked at it, and immediately reported Alice's worries to the command center.

A minute later, the broadcast from the command center came again: "All personnel, immediately return to their respective posts, except for the designated tasks, turn off all systems, concentrate energy, and enter faster-than-light flight." ”

"It's at 0.7 light, it's accelerating, and the wormhole mouth is starting to crumble." "It has entered the speed of 0.8 light and is accelerating, and the point of collapse is approaching from behind at the speed of light."

"It has entered the speed of 0.9 light, is accelerating, and the point of collapse is approaching at the speed of light."

……

When the spacecraft rushed out of the wormhole, the collapse point behind it also arrived, and the instant space collapsed, producing a huge attraction, making the spacecraft drop from the speed of light from 0.95 to less than one ten-thousandth of the speed of light, at that moment, Alice felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, as if the child was not used to this ordinary space, and wanted to express her discomfort.

It's a strange galaxy with huge stars shining brightly, and the orbits of seven planets don't seem quite Kepler's laws, with two or three planets of the same size in each orbit. There are two huge stars in the distance, and there are similar planetary systems, and the three star systems remain relatively stable.

The spacecraft was flying in the galaxy at a speed of more than 30 kilometers per second, and in order to land on a certain planet, it had to slow down, but the spaceship's energy was almost exhausted. Mr. Smith's proposal: use interstellar gravitational deceleration. Because there is no energy to support the large exploration equipment, all the orbital size, planetary mass, orbital period, etc. have to be re-observed and calculated, and the final result is: a hard landing on satellite 2 in orbit 3 49 days.

Alice received special care during the waiting time, no one expected that this wormhole could not be detected with equipment, and it could only be observed with the naked eye, and it happened that the porthole that had been knocked out of armor was observed by her, and the time flew out of the wormhole at the last moment. Otherwise, even if there is a wormhole, if you don't have a chance to catch up with the time, you can only die in the shadows.

"Dad, that's weird." Li Hui walked out of the room with Alice's finished plate, and saw Su Yinguo walking around the hall of the medical center, so she walked over and greeted her.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

"As long as we put our kitchen knife in front of Alice's stomach, in less than five minutes, Xiao Donglai will be quiet, otherwise it will be noisy all the time."

"How so? Ah, I know, this is God bless my Su family, Tianxing my Su family! ”

The spaceship, in Su Yinguo's whisper, rushed towards the green planet. What awaits the survivors of the catastrophe?
