Inside the entire building is a grand hall, all the way to the high platform at the end. There are tombs neatly arranged in the hall, and each tomb has a stone tablet with the name of the deceased and a brief life story engraved on it. Except for a few tombs, they are empty.
In addition, most cemeteries have owners.
At a glance, it can be estimated that at least hundreds of people are buried here. Chu Jungui knew at a glance that there were 152 dead people buried and 48 empty tombs.
Why was such a cemetery built in the camp? Why did so many people die?
Everyone's eyes fell on the high platform, where there stood a stone tablet several meters high, with dense inscriptions engraved on it. Because it was carved from the rock of Planet 1 itself and protected by the building itself, this stone tablet
It has been preserved to this day, and most of the inscriptions are still clearly legible.
The personal terminal automatically translates the inscription into content that everyone can understand.
"December 15, 2612, the year of the home planet. This is a shameful and sad day that will be remembered in the hearts of each of us, if we can still live. I, Oberan, the 151st deep space exploration spacecraft
Captain, here to faithfully record everything that happened."
"Between Planet One and Planet Two, we finally chose Planet One after using up the last remaining fuel. The final decision was made jointly by me, the expedition leader and the immigration director for the following reasons: Planet One, Planet One
There is a lot of helium, and we can refuel here. Planet 2 and Planet 2 are farther away, landing is risky, and the environment is not suitable for survival."
"When we entered Planet 1, we discovered that we had made a fatal mistake. There was no water here. Although there was a large amount of helium, it was not something we could extract with our current technology. Planet 2 confirmed that not only did there be water, but there was also a certain amount of helium.
Proportional oxygen. We can get enough oxygen without having to use the most crude and primitive method to extract a little bit of water and oxygen like here. The reason for making wrong judgments lies in a small error in the sensor and a
Careless analyst."
"I executed that analyst."
"On the first day of landing, we had a fierce argument. Everyone understood that we could only survive on the water and oxygen stored in the immigration spacecraft. To get new water, more energy was needed. Unfortunately,
Yes, we have also run out of fuel."
"The only solution is to transform the rescue capsule into a manned spacecraft and go to Planet 2. This is a one-way ticket, and it can only be enjoyed by a few people."
"It took us half a year to finally select the candidate to go to Planet 2. In these short 180 days, all the conspiracies, deceptions, betrayals and violence in human history were staged in turn, just to get a ticket.
.As a captain, I only washed my face once during these 180 days, using half a glass of water."
"As the captain, I decided to stay and complete the final journey with most of my crew."
"However, the biggest betrayal came from the day the rescue capsule was launched. The rescue capsule was suddenly launched while most people were sleeping. There were some people on board who shouldn't be there, and some people who should have been on it were thrown away. The most important thing is
The thing is, they took away the rest of the water, leaving us with only a month."
"We spent the last time building this cemetery to bury the souls who rested in this sad journey. And I, as the last person to die, was responsible for burying them and recording everything."
"Finally, please forgive me, a captain who failed to bring his crew to their new home, Oberland."
After reading the inscription and then looking at the rows of cemeteries, everyone felt heavy. Needless to say, you can understand the despair and helplessness of these explorers at that time.
Li Ruobai let out a heavy breath and said: "At least the modified body is right about one thing. Planet 2 is full of descendants of sinners."
Chu Jungui said: "But there is good news. There is a lot of helium here. Maybe we have to stay a few more days."
Li Ruobai nodded, "They can all find helium, and we can find it even more. As long as we extract enough helium, we will have fusion fuel, which should be able to support us until we fly back, or at least fly to an inhabited star field."
Chu Jungui opened his personal terminal, scanned the tombstones and cemeteries, and recorded the whole scene.
This is just a microcosm of mankind's early exploration of deep space. Over the past millennium, countless immigrant exploration spacecrafts have quietly disappeared into the depths of the starry sky, and there has never been any news from them. The history of human interstellar pioneering is written with the bones of countless adventurers.
.With such heavy sacrifices, the glory of the interstellar voyage era was achieved.
"Let's go take a look at the spaceship. It's almost here." Li Ruobai said.
The four people left the camp and drove the off-road vehicle to the spacecraft.
Viewed from a close distance, this huge spaceship, which is several hundred meters long and nearly one hundred meters high, is still majestic and looks like a flying fortress.
The explorers built several ramps leading directly to the cabin doors of the spacecraft to facilitate entry and exit.
Everything was silent at this moment, even the hatch was covered with a layer of sand and gravel.
Chu Jungui nodded to Li Ruobai, carried a cleaning machine to the cabin door, and began to clean the sand and gravel attached to the outside of the door. The surface was cleaned, and the cabin door appeared completely. Chu Jungui tested the internal pressure again and saw everything
If it's normal, switch to a high-power laser cutting machine and start cutting the hatch.
A few minutes later, a large hole was cut into the cabin door, and a stream of turbid air spewed out. Chu Jungui analyzed the composition of the air inside the spacecraft and said: "Everything is normal, there are no unknown bacteria or viruses, but the oxygen content is very low."
"Normally, if those people lying in the cemetery did not die of thirst, they would also die of lack of oxygen."
The two turned on the lighting system on the armor, walked inside the spacecraft, and began to search area by area.
This spacecraft is a typical interstellar immigration spacecraft. It has a huge refrigerated sleep cabin area inside, which can accommodate hundreds of immigrants. It also has a huge cargo area to transport the materials needed during the long journey, as well as to build new ones after arriving at the destination.
Initial material when base.
According to the scale of carrying immigrants, this is a pioneering spacecraft with more exploration than immigration functions. It is responsible for establishing an initial advance base in a newly explored star field. Once it is discovered that the planet has the possibility and need for further immigration, a larger-scale
The immigration fleet will set off from the home star and embark on a journey.
Li Ruobai has flown many advanced warships, and is not very interested in this antique-like immigrant ship. What's more, the cargo area is empty, indicating that most of the materials are used to build the spacecraft to the second planet. Even if the cargo area is full, Li Ruobai
I also have little interest in technology from hundreds of years ago.
Looking over the cabins one by one, Li Ruobai suddenly stopped in front of a cabin door, thoughtfully, and turned around and said: "It seems that the people on this ship are not simple!"
