One of the main functions of the voyage recording device is to record the words and deeds of the spacecraft pilot.

Once there is a problem with the spaceship,

It can also be analyzed from the operation and response of astronauts, and some ways to deal with the crisis.

At this time, the spacecraft was hit by a belt of meteorite debris.

The astronauts aboard the Wide Area Silence were also woken up early and recorded in the flight logbook.

And when she figured out the situation in front of her and said the word unlucky,

Yang Meng also felt the same way,

In the worldview of human beings, the cosmic space is not a two-dimensional flat world, but a real three-dimensional space.

If you want to enter a galaxy, you can enter from multiple directions, up, down, left, right, and multiple angles.

But the direction in which the Wide-Area Silence entered encountered such a big problem.

"This impact could cause a lot of damage to the ship!"

Yang Meng looked at the image data delivered to the optic nerve,

As a pioneer astronaut, he knew exactly what it would mean to hit a meteorite debris of this magnitude.

however

What happened to that pioneer astronaut,

It's even worse than Yang Meng imagined,

The pioneer astronaut was preparing to go to the command module to check on the situation.

But at this time, the picture in the log suddenly shook violently,

The pioneer astronaut, who was not constrained by gravity, slammed into the bulkhead on the side at this time and immediately fell unconscious.

Yang Meng, who saw this scene, couldn't help but gasp:

"The ship has hit something!"

What exactly Yang Meng is not clear,

This is the end of the image, followed by lines of text.

It was also through these records that Yang Meng learned that

The impact caused 70 percent damage to the spacecraft.

A lot of cabins, a lot of equipment has been destroyed,

The most serious of these is that

The sealing structure of the cabin was damaged, and gas began to leak in many places, and more seriously, the temperature imbalance.

In some places, the temperature dropped to minus 160 degrees Celsius in just a few tens of seconds.

In some places, however, the temperature rose by hundreds of degrees in an instant, and some short-lived flames appeared.

Although the record in the log is what has happened,

But as a pioneer astronaut, Yang Meng, seeing his teammates suffering such a crisis, couldn't help but worry in his heart.

"What did she do next?"

At this point, there is no image of the pioneer astronaut in the logbook.

It's still lines of cold text,

Although the pioneer astronaut has fallen into a coma,

But in the face of such a crisis, the artificial intelligence on the spaceship immediately took over the control of the spaceship.

The artificial intelligence on the WAN Silence immediately cut off the gas circulation system of each section of the gas leak compartment.

With the cutting off of combustible gases such as oxygen, the fire on the spacecraft was quickly stopped.

And, thankfully,

In the process of dormancy of pioneer astronauts,

The closed pressure doors of all cabins will fall,

Each compartment on the spacecraft is a small, independent space.

Once hit by a small meteorite, as long as it does not hit the module where the astronaut is located, the astronaut still has a chance of survival.

Looking at the artificial intelligence on the Wide Area Silence, methodically handling all kinds of dangerous situations, Yang Meng nodded silently,

At this time, his mood also returned to a normal level.

Although this impact caused great damage to the Wide Area Silence,

But it is far from reaching, leaving the astronauts in danger of surviving,

Otherwise, this ship would not have been on planet Ross 128.

Yang Meng continued to read along the log,

Soon the image sound data appeared again in the log.

At this time, the pilot of the Wide Area Silence appeared next to the cloning module,

There are several robotic arm-like things in it that are constantly swinging, and something is being printed.

And the female pioneer astronaut was sitting in a simple wheelchair, looking at the things printed in the cloning device with a pale face.

Yang Meng, who saw this scene, was not surprised,

Because in the text log before the image, it has been clearly recorded,

As a result of the impact, the pioneer astronauts were severely injured and some of their organs were damaged and needed to be transplanted immediately.

Yang Meng is not worried about whether the transplant can be successful.

When he was in Rutanxing, his leg was taken by Xiaoguang to study,

Back on the spacecraft, you can still clone and connect, with the medical technology that pioneered astronauts,

As long as the brain does not suffer severe open damage, or dies instantaneously in extreme cases,

Pioneer astronauts are almost immortal.

However, Yang Meng, looking at the cloned things in the cloning cabin,

He frowned, and said to himself:

"It was from this time......

The screen continues to jump, according to the log data,

From the location where the spacecraft crashed to the planet Ross 128,

According to the planned speed of the Wide Area Silence, it will take years to reach the planet,

In the face of such a long time,

It is impossible for Yang Meng to look at these records little by little,

He could only pick and choose the key points, skimming through the logs.

In logging,

The pioneer astronauts, who have returned to normal, began to carry out maintenance on the spacecraft.

Although the degree of destruction of the ship is high,

But for humans who have already mastered nanoscale 3D printing technology,

As long as the resources can be recycled smoothly, a self-recycling system can be achieved.

Then you can make most of the equipment.

In this case, it is not a difficult thing to maintain the ship,

Especially the crisis caused by this impact,

The 16 pioneer astronauts all have extensive experience in patching vulnerabilities and maintaining spacecraft.

However, I look at the wide-area silence that is patched and can move on.

Yang Meng's expression became more and more serious,

Because he saw that beside the pioneer astronaut, a little girl of eleven or twelve years old and a cute appearance appeared.

After all, human beings cannot reproduce parthenogenesis, and there is only one possibility for the little girl who appeared next to the astronaut, and that is a clone.

"Cai Zhaoxin, why are you doing this?"

Looking at the teammate on the screen who looked loving and treated this little clone like a daughter, Yang Meng was a little puzzled.

Seeing Cai Zhaoxin patiently teaching this little girl all kinds of aerospace knowledge,

Instilled in her the goal of traveling to Ross 128 and returning to Earth.

Yang Meng felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and he thought of a lot of things.

The cloning technology handed over to 16 pioneer astronauts, although it was part of the tissue cloning technology,

But it was easy for them to break through the limitations of tissue cloning technology and create a clone.

therefore

After taking over the respective pioneer exploration ships,

The ground had warned them more than once not to cross the ethical bottom line and try to clone humans.

Unless the time comes,

When he left the solar system at that time, Yang Meng, who was still very young, didn't understand why the earth emphasized this issue many times, but when he saw this clone at this time, he sighed silently:

"Are you ready?"

Looking at the clone cultivated by Cai Zhaoxin

human picture,

Yang Meng recalled the original selection process,

The sixteen pioneer astronauts left the solar system very young.

Most of them are not over 30 years old.

The youngest pioneer astronaut at that time was only 23 years old.

These 16 astronauts are not only young, but even most of the pioneer astronauts are not married and have children, and some are simply orphans.

In these cases,

In the complete opposite of the traditional situation of human astronauts,

Therefore, when the list of sixteen pioneer astronauts was announced, it immediately caused a storm of public opinion on the entire earth.

After all, the astronauts of the past,

They are all old, experienced, family, caring, and stable astronauts.

And in the face of such a young pioneer astronaut,

There are concerns about whether they will be able to shoulder the burden of opening new shipping lanes for humanity.

And in the face of all kinds of criticism,

It is also a helpless thing for the command centers of the major forces on the ground to send young pioneer astronauts.

Even if you travel to a galaxy ten light-years away at 14 percent of the speed of light,

Counting all kinds of acceleration and deceleration, it will take nearly 100 years to avoid dangerous areas.

If you are an older astronaut,

Even with cryo-dormancy, you have to wake up every 20 years.

And every time the process of dormancy does not necessarily take a full twenty years, it is awakened by various emergency events.

Already an older astronaut,

By the time you reach the target system, you will be at least ten years older according to the dormancy cycle.

And the exploration mission in the target galaxy is a long-term, labor-oriented mission.

According to astrophysicists' estimates,

Build a base on a strange planet,

Carrying out exploratory missions, conducting sample collection,

If you encounter an alien civilization, you will have to have some unknown exchanges.

Therefore, it is difficult to estimate how long the pioneer astronauts spent on one planet.

So astrophysical researchers

It is believed that a pioneer astronaut has a chance of staying in a galaxy for more than ten years.

If calculated according to such a time,

A pioneer astronaut was about thirty years old when he left the solar system.

And that was 10 light-years away.

After a long period of exploration there,

By the time he left the system, he was probably over fifty years old.

If they can return to Earth smoothly, they will be just old enough to retire on Earth and enjoy honor.

But that's just an ideal scenario.

In the face of the unknown universe, human beings must prepare for the worst.

If there is a crisis on the way to the target system, the spacecraft is damaged, and the astronauts cannot go into hibernation.

Then the life of the astronaut will pass inexorably,

And the younger the astronauts,

The more time there is, in the short life span of human beings, to deal with the crises they encounter and return to their dormant state.

Therefore, after a large number of simulations, the major powers on the earth believe that although young astronauts are less experienced than older astronauts,

But with the assistance of artificial intelligence,

In the face of an unknown cosmic environment, there is a better chance of surviving than an older astronaut.

This is also where Yang Meng doesn't understand Cai Zhaoxin,

Although it took nearly a hundred years for Cai Zhaoxin to travel from the Earth to the planet Ross 128,

But for her, who spends most of her time dormant,

She was only twenty-eight or nineteen years old.

She still has a long time to go, and she doesn't need to use cloning technology to train her own successor.

"Unless, there's something wrong with the hibernation device or herself that prevents her from going into hibernation

state!"

Thinking of this,

Yang Meng immediately re-searched for the previous log record,

But the content above shows that the dormant cabin has been successfully repaired by Cai Zhaoxin.

"What's going on?"

Yang Meng continued to check, and the log records were looking for clues.

The log file scrolls page by page,

But in these log files, Cai Zhaoxin usually has very few words except for teaching knowledge to the young clone.

What's more, in the log records, Cai Zhaoxin's body data is also very normal.

Yang Meng wanted to know the reason for her cloning from the log, but in the end she found nothing.

In the log file, Cai Zhao's heart became more and more silent.

Seeing such a change,

Yang Meng also found that her personality was no longer the same as the girl she met in the training base.

He has known Cai Zhaoxin for a long time,

Cai Zhaoxin was selected as a reserve member of the pioneer astronauts at the age of 12.

Although he is very young, he is not the smallest existence in the entire reserve team.

Since the age of 12, she has undergone various trainings as a reserve member.

The knowledge learned is unimaginable to his peers.

and can be selected as a reserve member of the pioneer astronauts,

In terms of intelligence, learning ability, and other aspects, it is extremely top-notch.

Therefore, these heavy studies did not stump the little girl.

And even after all this heavy learning and training,

At the age of 16, she is still full of optimism.

And at that time, it was also the first time Yang Meng met this teammate,

It's just that the meeting between the two at that time was not friendly.

Although Cai Zhaoxin's appearance is good, the feelings of the teenager will not arise in that situation.

He and Cai Zhaoxin are competitors,

At that time, there were only 16 places for 10 billion human beings.

And the force he is in only has 2 places,

And as a space power,

His forces have always been an important pole of the earth's space technology.

As a result, the competitive pressure for the selection of pioneer astronauts is extremely high.

And Yang Meng faces a lot of opponents,

Every teammate he saw was a competitor at the time.

All in the face of Cai Zhaoxin,

His idea was just to get rid of her from all sides,

It's a pity that Cai Zhaoxin's ability has always been on par with him,

Especially in the face of stress tests, it is even more counter-pressuring him.

Until the end, she finally became her teammate and became one of the sixteen pioneer astronauts.

And Cai Zhaoxin, whom Yang Meng knows, can maintain an optimistic state no matter what situation he faces, smiling, giving people a sense of peace of mind.

"But now, what happened to her?"

Yang Meng continued to look at the log records,

In logging,

The children cultivated by Cai Zhaoxin have also grown up little by little,

And under the command of Cai Zhaoxin, some astronaut training is being carried out.

At this time, the Wide Field Silence finally reached the Ross 128 system.

Facing your goals,

Cai Zhaoxin, who had been silent, finally showed Yang Meng's familiar smile:

"It's here!"
