When the Great Xia Sightseeing Ship was returning from the Three Sun Moon Empire.

In the black hole galaxy northeast of Great Xia, a dilapidated ship suddenly appeared in the starry sky.

With its signal being sent, it didn't take long for the Great Xia engineering ship to reach the location where the signal was sent and tow them back to the star base.

Through coding verification, this ship is a scientific research ship of Great Xia, and the personnel on board are naturally scientific research personnel of Great Xia.

They disconnected communication when they were on an exploration mission some time ago, and Great Xia has been searching for it, but I didn't expect it to suddenly appear again today.

After verifying that their identities were correct, the Academy of Sciences began to communicate with them.

"You guys, how did you come to this?"

Looking at their middle-aged appearance, Tina frowned and asked.

According to the data, these researchers should be in their twenties.

Under the questioning of the chief scientist, the gray-haired researchers began to tell what had happened.....

Due to the Ascension Talent of [Central Privilege], Great Xia's power system expanded again.

As a result, new sources of relic signals have been discovered.

As a result, a research ship with scientists on board headed for a galaxy with a signal source.

A black hole galaxy, a mediocre black hole galaxy.

For the most part, black hole galaxies have nothing but shiny optical disks, and there are only one or two planets once in a while.

"Ah, there's nothing here, how can there be a signal source?" Joseph looked at the scanned galaxy map and complained.

The leader Joan also frowned, this black hole galaxy does not have a single planet, but the signal strength detected before is not small.

"Since it's not a planet, it's supposed to be a special item floating in deep space."

"Let's continue to scan and further determine the coordinates of the signal source."

Joan Shi gave the order for his colleagues to scan the galaxy in more detail.

“OK！” Johnny snapped his fingers and began typing in commands, ready to drop the scan probe.

Today, exploration ships are no longer the primary ships that could only explore galaxies.

After being equipped with professional research rooms and processing equipment, scientific researchers can be stationed on the ship for a long time, and this kind of ship transformed from a research ship to deal with deep space anomalies is also known as a "scientific research ship".

A research ship is basically made up of three to six scientists, led by experienced people, who work on new topics with their colleagues.

And now this scientific research ship, codenamed "Katuya".

The leader is Jo Ann, a pure East Side native, with a ponytail, majoring in physics and engineering.

The remaining two are Johnny, who is of mixed descent in the East and West districts, with short curly hair and brown skin, majoring in sociology and engineering.

The other is Joseph, a typical West Sider with short and medium hair in light blonde hair, majoring in physics.

They drove the Katuya research ship around the Moyu system to drop probes and wait for the signal to echo.

The relict signal is not emitted all the time, and it can only be said that the star base occasionally detects the source of change in the subspace, thus confirming that there is an anomalous signal in the galaxy.

Then, scientists will tell from the anomalous signals whether there is information about the remains of civilization or something else.

During this mission of casting and scanning, Qiao An and the others stayed in the Moyu Galaxy for almost ten days.

Eventually, they detected a fuzzy coordinate, and it was very close to the edge of the black hole's event horizon.

Looking at the oozing black hole, Johnny looked at Joan and shrugged, "What now?" Would you like to go over and have a look? ”

Joan looked at the situation of the galaxy and the impact of the black hole on the research ship, and thought silently.

"Then you still need to ask, of course it's rushing, after completing this topic, this year's year-end bonus will be stable, hahaha."

Unlike the cautious two, Joseph is not afraid, he himself plans to establish a black hole research project in the future, and now is a good time to make contact.

"Hmm...... Report it to the hospital first, and we'll go over and have a look if we get permission. Joan groaned and finalized the plan.

The two had no problem with this, and soon the project was transferred to the Academy of Sciences, and permission was obtained for it.

The emitted probe does not operate permanently, and if the detailed coordinates are not determined, the scan results will not be accurate until the energy is exhausted or the influence of gravity is affected.

So Joan decided to take the risk, since the signal source can be sent near the event horizon of the black hole, then the safety should still be guaranteed, right?

Against the backdrop of a majestic black hole, the Katuya research ship is like a flat boat rowing across an optical disk.

Even in the interstellar era, black holes are still very mysterious, and some people assert that as long as black holes are studied clearly, even the entire universe will no longer be a mystery.

The three of them watched the black hole getting closer and closer on the ship, and they also muttered a little in their hearts.

When they return this time, they will be able to boast of their bravery.

After a while, Joan got up, walked to the bridge, and pulled out a few long strips from a storage room.

After igniting it, he held it with both hands, waved at Chu Hua's image, and then inserted it on top of an apple, wisps of green smoke rose with the vacuum.

"What are you doing?"

Originally, everyone was quite nervous, but seeing Joan's strange approach, Joseph walked over and asked strangely.

Joan breathed a sigh of relief, "This is our unique worship method in the Eastern District, and if you sincerely pray, you can bless things well." ”

"Incense?" Johnny, as a sociologist, knows a lot about folklore.

"You're a bit of a theological, how can you believe these things as a scientist?"

Joseph shook his head and said with some disdain.

Regarding the doubts of the two, Qiao An shrugged her shoulders indifferently, "If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter if you try it anyway." ”

"Besides, I'm worshipping Your Majesty, maybe I'll be able to get asylum?"

"Don't forget. Dr. N, who escaped death directly from the star's explosion, is now beyond humans. ”

"......." Johnny and Joseph were silent for a moment.

yes.

Who can guarantee that God does not exist?

And what about saying goodbye to Your Majesty....

"Ahem...... Boss Qiao, do you still have this incense, I also want to have a few. ”

Johnny approached and said to Joan with a smile.

Joseph also suddenly realized, "Yes, since you have worshipped, then we will be good by the way." ”

"Yes." Joan opened the storage room and took out another bag of incense.

The two of them directly grabbed a handful, regardless of the number, and clicked it directly, and then bowed to Chu Hua's image.

"You know, the first time you worship, you will be more pious when you kneel?"

Joan leaned to the side and smiled slightly.

Johnny and Joseph glanced at each other, there are so many ways to learn about the occult in the East, maybe it will be useful.

After reading it, the two of them knelt down on their knees, holding incense and bowing to Chu Hua, "Your Majesty, I hope you can bless us to successfully complete the task and get the year-end bonus!" ”

"Didi~~"

"Warning! The gravitational force is abrupt, and the ship is about to lose control...."

A rush of sirens sounded.

Joan's face changed drastically, "Didn't you set the spaceship to a special automatic mode!?" ”

Normally, it's okay, but now it's in the black hole galaxy, and it's still close to the black hole, so it's easy to have problems if you don't have someone to watch it.

"Thank you!"

"Sure enough! It's not okay to ban superstitions! I'm going to be a staunch materialist! ”

Johnny and Joseph quickly got up and rushed to the central control room.

However, it was already too late.

The black hole is stretched above the Katuya research ship, and the depth of it can slow down a person's heartbeat.

The three of them sat in front of the console, constantly adjusting the data as the alarm sounded.

"Dynamic imbalance!"

"No, I have a special mode."

"Don't worry about the settings, stop the lightspeed engine and switch it all to manual mode."

"Entering manual mode, adjusting the ship's attitude!"

.....

Under the inexplicable influence, the Katuya research ship spun around the black hole, and the three of them have been trying to get the ship back to normal.

Finally, after more than half an hour of manual operation, they finally stabilized the ship's abnormal movements and let it slowly return to calm.

The three of them were also relieved.

"Joan, you can't believe in the Oriental Mysticism, and you almost killed us." Joseph wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Joan depressedly.

Joan rolled her eyes, how could this happen if these two guys weren't in the central control room.

"Hey, we've actually arrived at the location where the source is emitting."

Johnny ignored the occult and continued to observe the ship, and realized that they had reached the coordinates that had been scanned.

"Oh? Where's that thing? Joseph turned his head to look at the infographic in front of him, but he didn't see anything strange near the ship.

Joan silently compared the data, and indeed arrived near the signal source, and looked outside the ship, but found nothing.

Just when the three of them were curious, the space around them suddenly changed.

The Katuya research ship, which had nothing in front of it, suddenly revealed a planet.

And, crashing into them at a breakneck speed!

The three of them didn't react at all, and the ship crashed directly into the atmosphere, like a meteor piercing the sky.

As the atmosphere entered, the gravitational system gradually shut down, and they floated in a state of rapid decline.

"Ahh Mamma Mia! ”

"Energy failure! Energy Failure! ”

Since it is now in an artificial state, the ship cannot solve the fall problem on its own.

Joan gritted her teeth and pulled up the control bar in front of her, which was the operating instrument of the manual mode.

"Watch the oxygen status!"

"Activate the in-atmosphere ejector."

Seeing Joan so calm, Johnny and Joseph frowned and carefully adjusted the ship's data.

Due to the condensation of the atmosphere, the surface of the ship began to burn, and due to the gravitational pull of the planet, their descent increased suddenly.

At an altitude of 100,000 meters, the ship's energy has not yet been restored.

10,000 meters, still not good.

At five thousand meters, the ship finally regained some lift.

Finally, at an altitude of a thousand meters, Joan and the others finally got the ship back to partial operation.

And while the three of them couldn't take their eyes off it, the Katuya ship successfully landed!

"Boom!"

The entire Katuya research ship was shattered, and some of the parts could still be seen in their original form.

It slammed into the ground, stirring up a puff of smoke and dust of a hundred meters, and a wave of air flew towards the surroundings, and at the same time, three two-meter-large capsules popped aside from the inside.

Although it was a battle-damaged version of the landing, at least the three of them did not suffer any damage.

"Whew...... Fortunately, we have prepared a new personal escape pod from the Academy of Sciences, otherwise we would have hung up. ”

The device that enveloped Johnny bounced off, and he crawled out of it, sighing at the two beside him.

Looking at the wreckage everywhere, Qiao An shook his head, "It's a big life......."

In order to cope with the sacrifice of the war, at the request of Chu Hua, the Academy of Sciences developed a kind of rescue cabin that would eject to envelop the combatants when the ship was blown up.

Although it will make the cost of the ship higher, Chu Hua still set up this project.

As a new type of ship, the scientific research ship of the three people is naturally one of the test subjects.

The escape pod is very strong, and when the battleship is damaged, it will eject to a very far place, which can ensure that the people in it are not affected by the battle and wait for salvage.

Compared with the traditional collective rescue capsule, there is less need for assembly.

Fortunately, the Katuya research ship slowed down significantly before it crashed, otherwise the survival pod that popped up in the atmosphere may not necessarily ensure the safety of personnel.

It is also the reason why Joan said that his fate is big.

"Ahem, ahem..... I began to believe that I was blessed, and I didn't die. ”

Joseph walked around among the scattered fragments of the ship, choking on the smoke, and smiled bitterly.

"I don't know when help will come." Johnny looked at the sky, it was almost the same as on a normal planet, because of the atmosphere, the sky was gray.

Joan looked at the personal communication equipment, except for the three of them, the others were offline.

After the ship's communicator is destroyed, it cannot initiate ultra-long-range communication.

"Sure enough, no." Looking around again, Joan frowned.

Although they survived, it doesn't mean that they are safe.

But what is certain is that they have found the source of the signal.

"Let's find a way to survive first, at most ten days, the base should send someone to search for us."

Joan stood up and said to Johnny and Joseph.

"Explore the parts of the ship around and see if there's anything in good condition."

"I ejected the food pod before it crashed, and if we successfully search it back, it should be enough for us to eat for a while."

At the leader's order, Johnny and Joseph naturally got up and began to search the surrounding situation.

It really allowed them to find the food pod that popped up, as well as some personal weaponry to deal with danger.

Even better, they found that the ship's 3D printer was largely intact, much to the trio's delight.

This means they don't have to sleep in the wilderness.

Pulling out a spare battery block and attaching it to a printer, the trio forged a makeshift living room in the crash site.

The batteries found can last at least half a year, and they basically don't have to worry about power problems.

As long as the Great Xia side finds out that they have lost contact, they will naturally follow their traces to find here, and there is nothing to worry about.

That's it.

The three people waiting for rescue spent a month on this wild planet.

In these boring days, the three of them gradually figured out the basic situation of the planet.

First of all, the planet is tidally locked and does not rotate, which makes it impossible for the area where the trio is located to have night.

Among them, although the planet is barren, there are also plants, occasional rain, and there should be an ocean.

Through the study of soil and plants, the trio concluded that the habitability of the planet is 60%.

That is to say, you can live, but it will be very hard.

Therefore, it seems that there is no living life on the whole planet, which is very reasonable.

During this time of waiting for rescue, the mentality of the three of them changed from calm, to boring, to boring, to boring.

"What's going on, it's been two months, and you haven't come to our rescue yet?"

Joseph asked, slumped in his chair and frowned.

Joan looked at her beard through reflex and was also puzzled.

It stands to reason that even if you scan again, you should know their coordinates, why hasn't anyone come for so long?

"It should be impossible to give up rescue, and the rule of Great Xia is not to give up any Great Xia people who are in crisis, unless they are sure that we are dead."

Hearing Joan's response, Joseph sighed, then left the living room to help Johnny, who was studying.

Looking at the other party's departing figure, Qiao An's thoughts diverged, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

There is a problem on this planet.

Maybe it's because of the problems of this planet that there are no rescuers on the Great Xia side.

Thinking about it, he felt that this was a very big possibility.

But how can the ice be broken?

"Tianxingjian, self-improvement, only self-help is the only truth." Joan muttered.

In that case, why not set up a communication station and send messages to the outside?

He looked at the wreckage of the ship that had been collected outside, the parts were quite complete, but the infrastructure needed to be built.

Soon, he shared his idea with the other two.

The two couldn't agree more.

"It's true that we can't wait for help to come, at least we can live for a long time, and the energy can be used for more than three months at most, and we have to solve the power problem before the power goes out."

"Hey, there's not much food, we need to start a food strategy."

Johnny and Joseph gave their opinions, and the three of them discussed it for several days, and finally decided to build a basic production facility first.

What is a basic production facility?

It is to use the same technology as 3D printers to build a production workshop, laying the foundation for the construction of more advanced technology applications.

For example, large printers, resource gathering stations, defense equipment, more sophisticated instruments, etc., until the establishment of communication stations.

The latest to be produced is naturally to provide 3D printing materials, without which there is no material that can be printed, everything is impossible.

The three of them are lucky enough that many ship parts can still be used, even if they can't operate, as long as the basic components are filled, they can be restored.

So, with their own expertise, the three of them transformed the ship's parts into small equipment, and began to collect minerals and refine them into printing materials.

Then through the printer, print out a better collection device.

After another month, they successfully completed the fully automatic production of the printed material.

And directly hand-rubbed the three printers and let them work on other projects.

And the next one is the food planting base, the food tank has almost been consumed, and the food problem must be addressed.

Growing food is a very difficult task, especially on another planet, and the problem of survival and cultivation requires further research.

Fortunately, Johnny's sociological experience includes a lot of biology, and with the study of the planet's soil during this time, the planting base is gradually taking shape.

The farming business of the three of them is in full swing.

As for the question of asking for help, they all pressed it in their hearts.

Because they know that if people are dependent, it is very difficult to survive.

However, the planet is far more complex than they imagined.

One day after lunch, Johnny was collecting soil in the field when he discovered something new.

It was the footprints of a group of creatures.......
