Xue Gushan knew very well that based on the information obtained so far, the Tokta civilization was definitely not the indigenous inhabitants of the Americas back then.
"If there are no accidents, the Nanmen Ship will set off in 10 days and arrive near Tokta Star after 8 months of sailing. Tiangong will arrive at Tokta Star in the 9th month after our departure. We need to complete it within 25 days. Intelligence reply, otherwise the Tiangong will start the jump engine and pass through the Tokta star field at the fastest acceleration."
Blake frowned, "What about the Nanmen Ship?" As he said that, he looked at the others, as if trying to find the answer on their faces.
Fang Mobei looked at Blake and said, "If the Nanmen ship does not complete the intelligence reply within 25 days, the Tiangong will be regarded as a mission failure. The only way is to speed up through the dangerous area."
Xue Gushan looked at Blake with a complex expression and said, "Aren't we in the same boat now?"
"Does anyone else know?" Gu Yiyi looked at Xue Gushan with a struggling expression.
Xue Gushan smiled and said, "What do you think a soldier is?"
Gu Yiyi looked at Fang Mobei and others with heavy faces. Although she thought this feeling was strange, she could feel the indifference of everyone present. Cold was the only feeling she felt, and this coldness also appeared on Fang Mobei. This familiar and terrifying feeling made her feel a little strange.
This is a feedback from her mental power. She has been able to discover some clues about her emotions. This is her ability after her mental power has been improved.
Yes, what do you think a soldier is? Two simple words, but they seem extremely heavy. This is the first time for Gu Yiyi to experience this complex feeling. Maybe some things really can be done or not.
Seeing the captain, Fang Mobei and others seriously discussing the execution plan, Gu Yiyi's eyes fell on the light and shadow of the Tokta star on the table.
The sound of the discussion gradually disappeared, and the picture in front of her gradually blurred. She saw the light in front of her, and she wanted to pass through the light as if she were trying to see the sun through the clouds. Through the light, she saw boundless blood and ferocious beasts. They She fought hard in the siege of the giant beasts, and the roars and shouts of the beasts resounded in her mind. A sharp pain like a needle prick made her unable to hold on any longer, and eventually she lost consciousness as soon as her vision went dark.
The concerned voices of "Yiyi" and "Yiyi" lingered in Gu Yiyi's ears. She tried hard to open her heavy eyes, and a blurry figure appeared in front of her.
Fang Mobei held Gu Yiyi's hand and said with concern, "Yiyi." Looking at Gu Yiyi's eyes that slowly opened, Fang Mobei felt relieved.
"I..." Gu Yiyi was confused and wanted to ask.
"Don't talk yet, you can sleep for a while"
Fang Mobei watched Gu Yiyi fall into deep sleep again, and his heart gradually relaxed. He still clearly remembered that when Yu Xue Gushan was discussing the mission plan yesterday, Gu Yiyi beside him suddenly covered her head in pain, and then fainted in his arms.
He was surprised that Gu Yiyi suddenly fainted, because for physical practitioners, some common diseases would not affect them at all, so only she could rule out the possibility of an accident.
Fang Mobei wiped Gu Yiyi's slender arms with a hot towel, and the pity on his face made Blake and others around him leave the room.
At this time, only Fang Mobei and Gu Yiyi were left in the room. Listening to Gu Yiyi's gentle breathing, his heart calmed down. Maybe it was the intense training during this period, maybe it was the training from Triton. After coming back, there was something heavy in his heart. During this quiet time, a feeling of fatigue came over him, and he couldn't help but rub his forehead.
He looked out the porthole window at the vast universe, and saw a flower in the distance
The purple-red nebula attracted his attention. He had not admired the universe for a long time. A beautiful nebula was so beautiful, so beautiful that it made people fascinated and amazed.
Building a space carrier is a radical attempt in human history. From the Apollo project in the last century to the Earth-Mass moon project in the middle of the last century, humans have achieved great success in establishing military bases on the moon - mining on the moon. The rare elements they discovered laid a solid foundation for mankind to move further into space. This gave the radicals great confidence. They couldn't wait to set their sights on the more distant Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune. After Neptune's first A mining base was established on several satellites, and even SDS, a new energy source that has affected all mankind, was mined. It is a new energy source that is cleaner, more stable and has a higher energy conversion rate than uranium and plutonium.
During the dreamy period of more than a hundred years when the new energy revolution took hold in the hearts of the people, with the vigorous promotion of the radicals in power after tasting the benefits, people opened up a bright road to the universe in the name of the Second Age of Discovery.
Overnight, all powerful forces focused on the vast universe, vigorously cultivated astronomers, and spent heavily to recruit relevant experts and scientists. They all wanted to go to outer space to find a pot of gold.
All new and useful things such as new energy, new metals, new substances, and new elements are being used in the fields of medicine, manufacturing, energy, military, biology, etc. Therefore, various star maps that are both true and false are circulating in the open and black markets. , the star map is marked with information about various known planets, the shortest route, the best route, the distribution of known elements, and guesses about unknown elements.
The star map is like a treasure map and is scrambled by all major forces. Spies and agents from various countries fight overtly and covertly to fight for rare resources and interests. War is inevitable. That light is called the dreamy new century. This is also the cruelest century in human history.
Before people have even had time to leave the solar system, the economic crisis caused by excessive space development has swept across the world like a tsunami. When one of the core countries can no longer support the domestic economic bubble, the chain reaction caused by the economic collapse has plunged all countries into a difficult situation.
In the gloomy economic environment, space development is becoming increasingly redundant in the eyes of more and more countries. For the member states participating in the plan, it has become a huge melting pot, with every minute and second of it Compared with the money burned, the value generated by outer space is so small that it can be ignored.
The fanaticism of idealism gradually faded, and people quickly returned to reality. Overpopulation, frequent natural disasters, global climate abnormalities, and doomsday rhetoric have made countries begin to pay attention. The Columbus Plan was officially launched through the resolution of the Earth Federation. Overnight, all mankind's attention was focused on the "Zeus", "Ark" and "Tiangong".
Fang Mobei sighed deeply. The Tiangong carried the last hope of mankind and represented the most noble ideal of mankind. The originally long interstellar journey was full of unknowns and crises. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"What are you thinking?" After Gu Yiyi woke up, he saw Fang Mobei standing by the porthole. He could feel Fang Mobei's complicated emotions at this time.
"Are you awake? Why don't you sleep for a while?" Fang Mobei turned around and said with a smile.
Gu Yiyi shook her head, "I have a bad feeling."
"You mean this mission?"
Gu Yiyi said nothing, but looked at Fang Mobei worriedly.
"What do you see?"
"Killing, strange beasts, despair..."
…
In the interstellar year 4, the Nanmen ship under Tiangong carried an important mission and rushed to the Tokta star field between the solar system and the Nanmen II system. This historical feat attracted the attention of everyone on board Tiangong.
, whether citizens at all levels or soldiers, scientists, and politicians, all set their sights on the Nanmen ship at this time.
Perhaps this historic moment has suddenly arrived, and a series of social problems originally caused by strikes, the gap between rich and poor, and racial discrimination have all come to an end at this moment.
In June of Interstellar 4, the Nanmen ship officially sailed away from the Tiangong, using the Tiangong's jump rate to increase its speed. The Nanmen ship will complete the speed increase in 1 month and then use 2 months to decelerate, and finally enter the Tok Tower. Star field, after capturing the gravity of Tokta star, it completes the orbiting flight.
"In 10 minutes, the Tiangong will begin to jump and slow down. In 30 minutes, the Tiangong will disappear from our sight, so everyone can watch for a while." Xue Gushan shook her head as she held her chin and looked at the staff standing by the porthole.
After Fang Mobei walked into the command room, he looked at the three people sitting next to Xue Gushan, an old scholar with white hair and two young people. Seemingly seeing the doubts in Fang Mobei's eyes, Xue Gushan asked him A brief introduction.
The white-haired old man named Binks is the head of the Institute of Extraterrestrial Civilization. Two young men, one named Zhang Ziming, is an expert in the radio band, and the other, Mieko, is a language interpretation expert. The two are assistants to the white-haired old man.
After Fang Mobei greeted him politely, he looked at the man sitting opposite Xue Gushan. The man was wearing the uniform of an air service regiment. He must be the commander of the two flying teams mentioned by Chief of Staff Tian.
"Hello, Captain Fang Mobei, I am Mars, the captain of the Flying Shark Group of the Air Service Corps. Nice to meet you." Mars looked at Fang Mobei in front of him and politely extended his right hand.
Seeing that Fang Mobei had greeted everyone, Xue Gushan sat up straight and looked at everyone and said, "I won't go into details about the importance of this mission. I have called everyone here to announce the mission plan." She said The route map of the South Gate Ship was brought up on the desktop, and the destination of the route map was the planet Tokta.
"The Nanmen ship will arrive in the Tokta star field in three months. After arriving in the Tokta star field, everyone here today must be on standby in the command room 24 hours a day. The Nanmen ship's radars in all frequency bands will be turned on. To search for information about extraterrestrial civilizations”
Binks and his assistant looked at each other and said to Xue Gushan, "We will find the communication band of extraterrestrial civilization as soon as possible."
Xue Gushan nodded and then continued, "Mars's drone team needs to be in accompanying status to deal with emergencies that may occur at any time."
"There's no problem with me," Mars replied firmly.
"If it is necessary to land on the planet Tokta, it depends on Captain Fang Mobei." As she said that, Xue Gushan looked at Fang Mobei.
Fang Mobei watched everyone look at him eagerly, and he shrugged, "If necessary, I will take my people down."
"If we encounter an alien flying object, our warning or expulsion procedures may not work," Mars thought.
"We cannot open fire before we determine whether the extraterrestrial civilization is friend or foe," Binks said calmly.
"How to judge?" Mars turned his head and looked at Binx. "If not, why don't you go talk to them first?"
"If an interstellar war is provoked due to our mistakes in judgment, can you bear this responsibility?" Binx said noncommittally.
Mars took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. "I will not risk the lives of my brothers." After saying this, he looked at Xue Gushan, expecting Xue Gushan to give a fair answer.
Xue Gushan looked at the image of the planet Tokta with solemn eyes. She was obviously struggling with something in her heart. Fang Mobei on the side understood a little bit what Xue Gushan was struggling with.
