You can extend your life, but you will always reach the far end in a few years.

"Ahh A loud scream resounded throughout the living quarters,

One of the crew members hanged himself. This is not an isolated case, this is the third case since waking up from a long sleep. The crew member was immediately lowered from the rope, and the medical robot was immediately connected, and the diagnosis was that the brain had died due to a prolonged lack of oxygen to the brain.

A suicide note was left at his feet, and the words were densely written on the suicide note: "I'm sorry my dear crew, I'll go first, I have a little bit of nothing to do in my heart, but I can't bear this long sleep, and this long night desert." I'm gone, please bury me in this vast darkness, maybe one day I can become the light in your eyes, the beacon in your goals, or maybe I can become a mayfly spreading life in this silent universe, shaping another Wenyin in these thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of years, in another galaxy. ”

This seemingly great remark is frightening to Nanjia, and it can be seen from her eyes that she knows that once people lose hope, life is meaningless, and what is even more terrifying is that kind of thought, which is not an isolated case but the third case recently. If the explorer takes root, then this group of human explorers leaves their families, their homeland, and wanders in this dark desert, and all the futility of the real world becomes nothing, and the lighthouse in the distance has been extinguished.

After seeing this scene of tragedy on the Explorer, Nanjia rushed to Qi Yin's room with tears in her eyes.

"Knock knock." Nan Jia knocked on the door of the teacher's Qi Yin's room.

"You open the door, Teacher Qi, you said that our meaning is far away, so why? Why? Such a powerful warrior can abandon his original society and come here, but he can't resist the fear brought by this darkness? Why? Why? Nanjia didn't understand why this was happening, she hadn't been to Earth, but she felt that since the establishment of the human community, the entire Wenyin should be thriving, and the contribution of this kind of warrior to Wenyin was immeasurable, but this suicide made her feel that indifference and darkness could destroy the Explorer, and she would never be able to see her hometown - Earth.

The door opened, and Qi Yin looked like he had just woken up, with messy hair and ragged clothes.

"Come in, Nanjia."

Nan Jia entered Qi Yin's room, and the whole room was chaotic, and there was a foul smell from the inside of the room. No matter how convenient and high-tech Wenyin is, if you don't use it, then it's like this room.

"Teacher Qi, you don't have this kind of thought, don't you, I only have you as a relative on this spaceship. I'm afraid that one day I'll lose you. ”

"Nanjia, I'm scared too. I didn't know how to deal with it, but the last time I woke up, I felt like the world of the ship had changed, and many people had changed. Some began to question why they had embarked on this journey in the first place, while others were shaken. ”

"What about you, have you wavered? You've said that the only thing that can stop you is the explosion of this ship. ”

"I ...... I don't know."

"If you look back, the text you hang on the wall, the meaning of life is far away."

Qi Yin turned his head to look at the text panel at the head of his bed, and fell silent when he came back, he didn't know how to answer her question, which he had thought about for a long time.

"Isn't that spaceship still exploded, so why would you give up your beliefs?"

"It's not that I gave up, it's that this spaceship won't work."

"What? What are you talking about? ”

"Without power drive, we are like a spaceship doing inertial motion, even if there is no external interference, once the spaceship loses power, we will become a grain of sand in this dark desert, waiting for death, only waiting for death!"

Nanjia knew the truth like a bolt from the blue, and her lifelong desire to go ashore was like drowning in an endless ocean.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Do you remember Mr. Qian, it was Mr. Qian's colleague who told me, I was like you when I knew, I couldn't believe it, and now I seem to accept fate, this is fate."

"Absolutely impossible, isn't it a miracle that humans can get here now?"

"Accept fate, look at the onlookers next door, when they know about it, maybe just like you. But in the end, they will all accept reality as much as I do. But I beg you, don't tell this group of people that they don't know yet, just let them accept the tragedy later. ”

"I don't believe it, I'm going to go to the captain, I'm going to let you know that this can't happen, absolutely impossible!"

Thanks to the shift system and hibernation technology, almost everyone can see the planet within the limit of their lifespan. Although the entire life theory of the Explorer is only one-third of the voyage time, the renewable and replaceable parts can keep the voyage running smoothly after hundreds of years of navigation thanks to the concerted efforts of different departments.

During the third hibernation, an unknown object silently slammed into the power compartment and maintenance bay under an advanced detection system, causing almost half of the original spare equipment to be lost and the power equipment to be destroyed. According to the current technical conditions, then before entering the target galaxy, the entire explorer will lose its power drive, or stay in the dark for a long time, or be destroyed by other materials in the universe.

The impact was loud, but most of the shift personnel were unaware, and only a few knew about it.

For the sake of the entire task, a few chose to conceal it. Qi Yin was one of them, but when he faced Nan Jia, he chose to say it, probably for Nan Jia and the people on this ship to know that this was a cruel truth. But for Qi Yin, he likes Nanjia too much, he can't help but tell the truth to his relatives, he just wants Nanjia to live happily on the Explorer, and he doesn't want to enter the eternal sleep again, he hopes that she is not a person born on the Explorer.

The funeral of these three began in the afternoon.

"I regret that this is a tragic time, we can't ignore this pervasive sadness, this dark desert has a deep shadow in everyone's heart, but we are warriors, pioneers of human society, since we have made the choice to leave our home planet and sail into the distance, then we are only looking for one thing, that is, the star in the darkness, he is the lighthouse in this desert to guide us forward, I hope these three warriors can soar into the stars around us, continue to guide us. May they be at ease forever in heaven and see our warriors, heroes of mankind farewell. ”

After the captain finished his eulogy, the crew loaded the dormant pod containing the three remains onto the launcher on the Explorer, and the captain pressed the button, and the three hibernation pods were ejected into space.

After the captain and crew saluted in the direction of the sleeping cabin, the captain wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and turned to everyone and said, "I think there are some things that everyone already knows, we are all pioneers and explorers of human culture. I think I should tell you about that too. ”

As soon as the captain finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of some of the crew members were already showing helplessness, some were curious and ignorant, and most of them still looked at the captain with firm eyes.

"Our equipment maintenance bay and power bay have suffered a lot of damage since the last impact, and the bad news is that we don't have enough spare parts to complete this space mission, but the good news is that we still have a chance."

"Captain, this is not true, isn't it ......." Before the crew's words were over, Qi Yin on the side spoke: "This is true, the probability that we can complete the mission is almost 0."

"This can't be, absolutely impossible!".

"No matter what, we will overcome the difficulties."

", isn't it that we are alone and will die in this darkness?!!"
