Section 622 Captain
No matter what kind of intention Garros was holding, at least he did provide help in reminding Su Hao to pay attention to the issue of the Clemen family. Su Hao was not very familiar with the third stage world. Although he had obtained a lot of cellular memories, he still knew very little about the upper class of the empire.
"The most common way to seize the space field is to break into it from the inside."
Garros was much better than before, and his speech became more energetic: "The next patriarch of the Valam Clemen family is also a strategic military talent. I don't know how far the Clemen family's plan has been carried out, but it is certain that they should have occupied a part of your space field. As long as you close the space channel in front of you, they will kill and destroy all the evidence. In this way, your space field will become blank on the list of resource points of the Imperial Civil Affairs Ministry. As long as the Clemen family submits the application again, everything will become their pocket."
Su Hao nodded, and then thought of another question: "I never believed that there is something like eating lunch in the world. Tell me what do you want from me?"
The smile on Garros's face became stronger and stronger. Things were indeed going as he expected, and Su Hao also performed as expected.
"The Melken family hopes to be friends with you. We will set up a contact point in Konoha Town. If you want, our partnership will become very close. After all, there are things we are interested in together."
Su Hao narrowed his eyes slightly: "I remember, Mr. Sovie seems to be your relative? He should be ahead of you in the succession ranking of the McAlken family?"
"Sovie is not my relative's brother."
Garros smiled indifferently: "There are always reserve candidates for family heirs. We should not waste time on dead people, we should look at it longer-term."
Advanced technologies from the earth have comprehensively improved the performance of "Explorer One". In particular, the speed has been increased to an incredible level.
Yeying stays on the bridge every day, always paying attention to the information captured from every surveillance screen. Even a beam of energy flowing through the spacecraft, a light from a distant star field, or a strange meteorite, will attract her full attention.
The special laboratory has been completely closed and has become Wang Kai's personal cabin. Except for him and Ye Ying, no one knows that there is a complete set of precision observation instruments installed here, which is operated by Wang Kai alone.
In order to prevent the leak of information, Yeying no longer uses the ship channel to contact Wang Kai. She goes to a special laboratory every day to see the distant dark universe and see the unchanged ray feedback ripple on the electronic remote sensing drawings. Unfortunately, everything is so fixed, and the energy fluctuation chart of the radio telescope is still blank, which is frightening and terrifying.
There is indeed nothing there.
The coordinate slasher UR55UR54 is an empty universe, without even light. Judging from the ray charts that are feedback, there are only rocks floating silently in the darkness, or large pieces of ice.
These things are very common in the universe, but they have no meaning in themselves. After all, they are not a planet, nor are they a world that should have existed as Ye Ying expected.
Every time he sailed in that direction for one more day, Ye Ying felt that his confusion and fear became increasingly serious.
She didn't understand what was going on. Su Hao was indeed teleported to that place, at least there should be a planet there.
Perhaps, the civilizations of the Atlantis are beyond imagination. They do not need planets to gain a foothold in the universe. Or, directly build residential areas on large pieces of meteorite fragments?
Humans cannot penetrate darkness after all, and remote scanning of the universe with the help of instruments also exists too many details that cannot be taken into account. The only thing Ye Ying can do is to keep ordering to speed up, so as to strive to arrive at the destination earlier and find out the truth.
November 28th is the regular meeting on the Explorer-1 spacecraft.
All those attending the meeting were senior supervisors of various departments of the spacecraft, such as the captain, the chief mate, the minister of mechanical maintenance, the minister of logistics management, etc. Initially, such meetings were held once a week, and the topics were nothing more than reporting on the operation of various parts of the spacecraft, coordination of material consumption and production, personnel resumption and duty arrangements, or patient management, and other unexpected emergencies. As the spacecraft left the earth longer and longer, the regular meetings also changed from once a week to once a month. Of course, the host of each meeting was Ye Ying. She was the recognized leader of the spacecraft and the recognized highest resolution.
The conference room was a huge and spacious oval cabin. Night video walked into the room as usual and sat in the first place of the conference table. On both sides and opposite her were another fifteen attendees of different positions.
"There is no problem with the spacecraft turbine unit. We have just replaced the accessories, and the smelting and manufacturing workshops are operating normally."
"The second maintenance of the energy furnace this year has been completed, and the backup system is inspected by a dedicated person every day, and everything is still the same."
"The food farm and oxygen regeneration system are operating well. Last month, we added two new gas circulation channels. According to the engineering design, we can add two hundred new breathing capacity."
"There is no problem with the logistics warehouse. Haha, there are no mice here, and we didn't find thieves in the constant temperature cold storage. However, should the food supply be increased a little? When I was on night shift, I always felt that I couldn't eat enough and needed two people to eat."
Jokes are mixed in work topics, which are already a scene that appears at every meeting. Only in this way can people feel that life is not so boring and have the interest to talk about more topics to each other.
Everything was as usual, Yeying smiled and planned to end the regular meeting like this.
Just as she opened her mouth slightly and wanted to announce the end of the meeting, she suddenly saw the captain Chen Hengsheng sitting opposite the table slowly raising his right hand.
"Please be quiet, I have something to say."
When he boarded "Explorer One", Chen Hengsheng was already forty-six years old. His normal physiological age remained until he was 62 years old. This also became his eternal old appearance. Like other crew members who have undergone biomechanical technology transformation, Chen Hengsheng's body was completely mechanized, and only his brain was left on his body. His facial lines were hard, and his skin made of synthetic polyester was slightly gray. Although his facial features were also composed of bionic synthetics, they did not look arbitrary and dull, and still looked no different from normal people.
He was originally just the deputy captain. More than 60 years ago, Ye Ying handed over the position of captain to Chen Hengsheng and devoted himself to the research on biological transformation. Chen Hengsheng also performed very well in this position, was very competent, and had a lot of prestige among the crew.
"My question may be a bit unexpected, but it is never a sudden. In fact, many people, including me, may have questions in their minds. That is why we boarded this spacecraft? Why are we going on this long and long voyage? And where is our destination?"
Yeying slowly narrowed her eyes, and her body gradually became tense, and she unconsciously leaned towards the table in front.
Of course she knew that there was a voice of objection on this ship. It was not just a person, but a potential group.
The voyage of "Explorer One" was too long, and it has been more than a hundred years. Even the patient is still a little bit worn away by this long and boring voyage. It is undeniable that when we first set off from the earth, everyone had an excited and fanatical idea. Every crew member was carefully selected, and many people signed up enthusiastically at that time, and it was not an exaggeration to describe the candidate as "Choose one in a hundred". Exploring the universe is the dream of many young people. The earth has just experienced biological wars and the trauma has not yet been healed. Going to the universe has become a strong wish of many people. No one forced them to do this, and everything was a conscious and voluntary choice. Until now, many people still remember the grand scenes when they set off and still talk about it with relish.
Time will change a lot.
When the Explorer 2 spacecraft was successfully connected with the Explorer 1, someone once asked: Can you return to Earth on Explorer 2? This idea is not an exaggeration. Although the spacecraft has various entertainment cabins, covering almost all related content that appeared on the earth at that time, and the food supply is also diverse, which can meet the normal needs of anyone. However, the world outside the porthole is black after all. It is very cold and full of death threats anytime and anywhere. The only difference is that the ship is safe, and as long as you leave, everything will no longer exist.
There are psychological counselors inside the spacecraft. Wang Qinian and Lao Song had already expected this situation and arranged some "worker bees" to accompany them. It is precisely because of the absolute support and support of these people that Ye Ying can stay in the position of the dominant until now, and the spacecraft continues to sail in a fixed direction.
"We have been away from the earth for too long. For more than a century, such a long time, it is enough to change too many things."
Chen Hengsheng's voice was strong and obviously he had set up the electronic synthesis device in advance: "The coordinates of the Sagittarius UR55UR54 are too far away from us. For different corners of the universe, time is fixed. I never doubt your confidence and beliefs, but the problem is that things will not continue in the direction we expected, and unpredictable accidents will always occur."
He looked at Ye Ying seriously: "General Su Hao is a great man in human history. He exchanged his life for us to win the victory of biological warfare. I respect him very much and always wanted to be the first contact between the Earth and the archer UR55UR54 coordinates. However, none of us knows what happened there. Perhaps, when we arrive at our destination, we will find that there is actually nothing there and everything is empty."
An inexplicable chill quickly rose from Ye Ying's back. She raised her head and looked at Captain Chen Hengsheng with a cold and sharp gaze: "What do you want to tell me?
"Since the Explorer 4 completed the docking with us, I have been paying attention to Wang Kai's work."
Chen Hengsheng stood on the table with his hands, with a serious expression: "It is not only him who thought of long-distance observation of the coordinates of Sagittarius UR55UR54. I used extra components to build another space radio telescope. Ye Ying, I believe you have learned about the problems from Wang Kai. I know as much as you. Yes, the coordinates of Sagittarius UR6755UR54 are empty and there is nothing there. This is not the result of short-term observation, and there is no data error in it. There is a meteorite belt, no planet, and even large meteorites are rare. This environment cannot be inhabited by humans. As for the Atlantis... I think if they really exist, I would probably not choose this kind of place to live."
The conference room was quiet, and everyone subconsciously stopped breathing. Some people showed extreme shock on their faces, while others were not surprised by this place. Some were cold, some were frightened, and some opened their mouths wide, but no matter what, they all remained silent.
Ye Ying tried hard to control her emotions and stared at Captain Chen Hengsheng coldly: "Continue talking."
"Please understand, I don't want to hold on to power. I just want to end this purposeless and resultless voyage."
Chen Hengsheng lowered his posture, his expression and tone became extremely sincere: "I am over one hundred years old. When I set off from the earth, I dreamed that I would reach that coordinate faster and fight side by side with General Su Hao. Please believe that I absolutely did not lie. Not only me, but everyone on this ship had the same thoughts as me. We all longed to be heroes and end all the bad luck brought by the virus storm. However, that place did not have the enemies we expected. They may have existed, but they must have disappeared now. We cannot know what was wrong with this? But since we already know that things have changed, we should not continue to implement the original plan. So... return."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Ying. No matter what kind of ingredients were mixed in, she needed to make the final decision at this moment.
Ye Ying's mind was filled with anger. She adjusted the flow of dopamine in her body and controlled the violently beating nervous system to calm down quickly.
The word "return" is not as simple as saying. Once the spacecraft turns around, it means that all the efforts made before will be wasted.
There will never be a second launch. Even if the Earth has built a new ship with better performance and surpassed the "Explorer One" in all respects, no one wants to continue sailing in the dark universe for more than a hundred years.
Ye Ying's eyes swept over each participant one by one. She found that the first mate Liu Tingwei and the logistics and supply minister Mei Ting, two of them were sitting around Chen Hengsheng. They said nothing, and their expressions did not change at all. They were so quiet that they had known about the changes in today's meeting for a long time.
Chen Hengsheng's sad voice continued to echo in the room.
"Order the return, I have spent my entire life on this spacecraft. My family on Earth is definitely no longer there. I am alone in this world. Look at what I have become now? A monster with only the brain and the body is all machines. The semi-mechanical and semi-biological transformation technology has given me eternal life, but it has caused me to lose too much to miss. It is still time to return to the world. "Explorer V" brings the latest engine technology. We can only spend one-third of our time to return to the earth. It is not an empty coordinate, but a real planet. There is our home, and we must go back."
For some reason, Yeying sat at the wide conference table, feeling a little uneasy.
She knew Chen Hengsheng very well. This is a person with strong abilities who can affect the people around her. The position of captain gave him almost the same authority as him. Chen Hengsheng can control the central computer, or order the spacecraft to return or continue moving forward. In short, Chen Hengsheng can do whatever he can. The only difference is that those "worker bees" accompanying him will definitely stand on their side and will not become Chen Hengsheng's supporters.
"Is that what you think?"
Yeying did not reply directly. She looked around and asked the others: "Or it is the common idea of all of you?"
Chen Hengsheng will not suddenly attack without any preparation. Judging from the current situation, he should have made preparations in advance. At least half of all participants supported him. Otherwise, even the captain would not be recognized by others, and it would be impossible to remain silent at this time.
"I think Captain Chen's words are right. It's true that we should return. If things really do what he said, and if we continue, there is really no need to continue."
"Is that coordinate empty? Is this true?"
"What exactly are we wasting more than a hundred years in the universe?"
"Actually, we are very close to the destination. Perhaps we should continue to move forward according to the original plan?"
Almost everyone can hear words like "maybe", "or" from their mouths. No one accurately stated that they wanted to continue sailing, and their sentences were ambiguous and vague. A new round of debate began immediately, but the core of the debate was no longer moving forward or returning, but how to return, and more detailed observations of the coordinates of the shooter UR55UR54.
No one thought of Ye Ying, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became intense. Many people expressed doubts about the words of Captain Chen Hengsheng, and his supporters also provided a lot of evidence to show that they did not lie. The fierce voice of refutation slowly disappeared. As various observation data appeared on the electronic screen, people had to believe the facts.
