Chapter 10: Once Upon a Time on the Explorer - Under the Remembered Accident

"Why are you back, the work is done."

"It's okay, Qi Yin is there, that kid is meticulous about his work, don't worry. See. ”

Wakaya took out the permission key from his pocket and stirred it up a few times, and finally he could see the same thing on the monitor by the window as it was on the large screen of the probe team's spacecraft, so it wasn't a big deal.

This is one of the few parent-child moments on the spaceship, Wakaya turns the big screen to Earth mode, and takes Nanjia on the spaceship to learn about the place he has never been to - Earth through holographic projection, and then she calls his wife to rest. As a little baby, Nanjia is full of curiosity about the things she sees, and she can't wait to touch everything that appears, and she is even more curious that these things can only be seen and touched, and her father's explanation to her makes the seeds of curiosity begin to sprout in her heart.

Everyone in the control center is also doing their own thing, and only the sound of everyone chatting from time to time can solve the boring and boring fleet life.

Suddenly, something happened, and the unmanned spacecraft that was exploring the path ahead disappeared from the course, but the detection instruments on the deep space unmanned spacecraft were still working. From the images it sent, it can be clearly seen that it is one of the most wonderful things in the world, like entering a long galaxy tunnel, flanked by incomparably gorgeous galaxies, from the characteristics of some galaxies, you can find at a glance that several of them are: the Great Magellanic Galaxy, Andromeda, the Pillar of Creation, not to mention the well-known Earth. These galaxies seem to be far away and close to drones. The thing in front of this seems to be a wormhole.

"The report made by Qi Yin just now and all of us agreed that the celestial body is a wormhole, because for the architecture of the unmanned spacecraft, if the limit of the controllable range is reached, the unmanned detector will return to the control signal center according to the predetermined mode, but not long ago, the information sent from the earth told us that the unmanned probe has returned to the control center of the earth, so that the unmanned detection returned to the earth through the wormhole." The captain had exciting news for the entire crew, and if there was a wormhole that could connect the various galaxies, then their mission could be completed in their lifetime without hibernation.

"So we need to send the Tianwen spacecraft to observe up close, analyze the data, and if everything is right, we even have to decide to go through the wormhole." The captain continued to pause for a moment, then continued, "Do you have any disagreements?" ”

"I want me to come! How can you send this kind of task to this family of three, to say something unpleasant, if they are all wiped out, then what will happen to their baby Nanjia? ”

Everyone responded, vying to complete the task of exploring the wormhole. But for the three members of the detection team, this task is what they should accomplish, no matter what the difficulty or what the danger. If emotion is greater than reason on the Explorer, then it is conceivable that the catastrophe brought about is something that every rational person cannot afford. As one of the crew members of the Explorer, the three of them also knew this truth, so Wakaya's answer dispelled everyone's opinions.

"Let's do it together, it's our obligation. It is also the obligation of all of us, when we abandon all things on earth, we should put the truth in the first place in our lives, and we should not use any one thing to influence our ability to act and judge. So you all don't fight, and if this wormhole can bring us back to Earth, then you can do whatever you want with our family of four, so don't think about it. ”

Everyone was also silent under Wakaya's arguments, and after the captain assigned the task. The trio climbed the Question Mark of the Sky. Tianwen is a manned deep-space spacecraft that is not big or small, and it also has its own exploration spacecraft, and the integration of high technology makes it as convenient to control Tianwen as driving a maglev car on Earth, but his speed is much faster than a car, and it is much faster than the Explorer.

"I think we have to observe this wormhole from a distance, and then observe it up close under foolproof conditions, Qiyin Nanjia, do you agree?"

"That must be agreed."

"I'm higher on board than both of you, and according to the guidelines on the Explorer, you'll have to be at my command for this operation."

"No problem."

The Tianwen departed, and under the conditions of super acceleration, it disappeared from the sight of the explorer in an instant. After some time, they came to a place not far from the wormhole.

The wormhole is not as huge as in the movie, but the Tianwen mark is like a human standing in front of Godzilla in front of the wormhole, which is very small.

Not long after the Tianwen arrived, they received a strange and regular signal, and they sent the signal back to the Explorer, and everyone was stunned after deciphering it, and at this moment, everyone heard the voice of the translated alien creature for the first time.

"Hello, just a voice from a long, long time ago. First of all, congratulations on being able to break through the limits of your own race and reach this point, and I would like to express my highest respect on behalf of myself to you human beings. In front of you is a wormhole, a wormhole connecting the edge of the solar system and other places, after flying through the solar system, the outside world is terrifying, just like the desert in your Wenyin, and what is even more terrifying is that this desert is always night, without a trace of light, and in this dark desert is full of unknown and danger, even if we Wenyin, we can't guarantee our 100% survival. Humans, although you have been lucky enough to have this beautiful blue planet by many coincidences, I hope you will make a choice, whether to return to the solar system and manage your own vicissitudes, or choose to enter this dark desert. The decision is yours. You may have a lot of questions about where I come from and who I am. You don't need to know this, you don't need to know it, I just warn you, don't go into the dark desert ahead, don't enter! Don't enter! ”

The crowd was silent, they were at a loss and didn't know what to do. In the eyes of everyone, this is a warning left by Wenyin that is far higher than his own Wenyin in terms of technology and morality, how to choose, this is also something that has never been written in the emergency plan.

Do you choose to stick to your own one-third of an acre, or conquer the sea of stars?

The captain spoke: "Our mission has always been to conquer the stars and seas, although we humans are constantly favored by lucky girls, but now we can get here, isn't it all thanks to our great human wisdom and great adventurous spirit?" If we chose comfort, then why should we build this behemoth? I think you may have the answer a long time ago, but we lack a force to push you towards the answer, we don't give in, we have a sea of stars ahead of us! ”

In fact, the choice to enter or not to enter the dark desert has been made for human beings. For example, if it weren't for the rebellious ape-man who started hunting prey with tools, if it wasn't for the rebellious human who used the steam engine to be lazy, or if it wasn't for the rebellious human being who was too lazy to walk and got out of the cloud, human beings might just be chimpanzees who have been living on the earth and resigned themselves to their fate.

For the trio on the Tianwen Question, it must be a "deviant" trio.

"The small research ship needs two people to pilot, and I can't pass up this opportunity to explore the wormhole, I have already reported to the Explorer, and the captain has agreed to our mission. Qi Yin and I are going to go through this wormhole, and your wife, you are responsible for controlling the Tianwen mark, and no one is more suitable for this task than you. ”

"No, I'm going to go with you, if you have any three strengths and two weaknesses, I can't face Nanjia alone."

"And what if we're all gone? What about Nanjia? Can you bear to let her lose her parents since she was a child, just like me? Wakaya questioned Chun-hee.

"I think she'll understand, and if we're all gone, she knows what to do, and the crews of the fleet are her father and mother. I know that if we weren't there, I couldn't bear to leave Nanjia alone. But I can't bear to leave you, and I'll tell you the truth, if I don't have you, I don't want to live anymore. ”

Qi Yin seemed to have helped them make their choice. Said to the two of them: "You two go, if the wormhole can really return to the earth, then when the time comes, I will take Nanjia to meet you again safely." Please rest assured that Nanjia is also my daughter, and I love her even more. Besides, didn't the deep space probe that disappeared before safely return to Earth? When you return to Earth, hurry up and get in touch with us, once it is confirmed that it is safe, I will take Nanjia back to Earth, and your family will not toss, and the task of conquering the sea of stars will be handed over to me. ”

It should have been said that he was moved, but Wakaya didn't respond to the two of them with an official tone, he and Chun-hee stepped on the probe of the Tianwen Mark and slowly drove towards the black hole.

"Stupid humans! I've received your words! Since you have chosen to go into the desert! Then you'll regret it! "Not long after the Tianwen exploration spacecraft entered the wormhole, the explorer received a message from this unknown creature.

In the perspective of the Celestial Question Mark, the wormhole was slowly closed by the unknown creature, and it disappeared into the darkness out of thin air.

"Wakaya! Nanjia! Are you all right? Where are you? ”。

In the days of waiting for a reply from Earth, the crowd was terrified. Because there is no information about the whereabouts of Wakaya and Chunxi, and everyone does not know their life and death, but the good news is that the probe on the Tianwen also has a hibernation chamber, and his original design idea is not only scientific detection, but also the function of a lifeboat, I hope these two can find their way home.

After waiting for a long, long time without news from the two of them, the Explorer was activated and headed for the Dark Desert. It was a great day in human history, and a day when Explorer remembered the accident.
