Chapter 489 This is not your real plan
Finally, these astronauts could no longer bear the desperate news, so they found a time to get together and ask Ning Chen.
"Academician Ning, we want to know whether these rumors on the Internet...are true?"
Hearing what everyone said, Ning Chen knew that this matter would no longer be hidden. After going down, I decided to reveal some truth to them.
“Let me tell you some facts. Our Xingchen Technology did conduct two spacecraft tests, one was the launch of the spacecraft, and the other was the landing of the spacecraft. Both tests did fail. Of course, this does not mean that we will never go back to Blue Star. There are still many ways we can try..."
Although Ning Chen's answer was very calm, when they heard these words from Ning Chen's mouth, their emotions suddenly became completely decadent.
Before this, they all prayed in their hearts that these rumors were just rumors on the Internet. Even if many people held the same rhetoric, these claims could never be official as long as they were not formally verified. of establishment.
However, even Ning Chen did not deny these remarks, which is enough to show how unfavorable their current situation is.
This made them completely lose even their last hope, and they became very desperate in an instant.
Ning Chen had already anticipated how desperate they would be if they really learned about this situation from their own mouths, but when things develop to this point, this will happen sooner or later. Even if Ning Chen insists on concealing these situations, the effect will only be counterproductive.
Some of these astronauts immediately became emotionally broken, sat there and cried bitterly, and some remained silent, silently counting down their remaining lives.
At this time, Ning Chen couldn’t say anything else and could only let everyone vent their inner emotions. After all, this information might announce that their lives were coming to an end. This This painful feeling is difficult to describe with any words.
But this situation did not last too long. After everyone vented for less than half an hour, their emotions gradually calmed down.
"Academician Ning, we must have a way to solve this dilemma, right? No matter what the most advanced technology they use, Academician Ning can crack these technologies..."
< br>Although the current situation is very desperate, Ning Chen's existence still brings them a glimmer of hope. After all, Ning Chen has brought enough surprises to everyone over the years, even if this opponent really It is an alien civilization whose technological level is far more powerful than that of Blue Star. The Blue Star civilization will not lose any hope of winning.
"Yes, we definitely still have hope! Now we have only conducted two spaceflight test experiments. Even if we fail, there will still be opportunities to continue trying in the future. I don't believe they can really block all our Spacecraft!”
After several astronauts expressed similar thoughts, the mood of the Mars exploration team has eased. At least at this time, everyone will definitely not wait for death in silence, but They will actively search for all possible ways to break the situation. Even if the final outcome is failure, then everyone can at least face death more calmly.
At this time, one of the astronauts said:
"I'm sorry, but please listen carefully to what I say. I believe that we still have a chance to start again. Return to Blue Star, but if things don’t go so smoothly... I am willing to give all my resources to Academician Ning, so that Academician Ning can survive longer and help our Blue Star civilization resolve this crisis... ”
Hearing the astronaut’s remarks, everyone fell silent for a moment, hesitating whether to support the astronaut’s idea.
As for dedicating oneself to achieving others' things, if you just talk about it in words, it will not be a particularly difficult thing, but if you want to really reach such a noble level, it is definitely something that few people can do.
But after two minutes, another astronaut stood up and said:
“If it really reaches this stage, I am willing to allocate all my resources. Give it to Academician Ning! Because at that time, our lives will have no meaning, but only Academician Ning can develop powerful technology to fight against this organization. Even if I give all these resources to Academician Ning now, I will not. Any opinions!”
Under the guidance of these two astronauts, everyone expressed the same idea one after another and were willing to sacrifice their lives for Ning Chen.
In fact, no one is so noble that they are willing to sacrifice themselves just for Ning Chen. But if their sacrifice can bring the safety of the entire Blue Star, then they This sacrifice is completely worth it, otherwise even if they can continue to survive for a short period of time, it will not have any meaning.
Although Song Xiyun did not express the same opinion, if such a situation really occurs, Song Xiyun will definitely be the first to sacrifice herself for Ning Chen. However, at present, Song Xiyun feels that her existence can give Ning Chen some help. This is other No one will bring the effect.
Ning Chen was also very touched by everyone's spirit, but Ning Chen would never let such a thing happen. Even if Ning Chen gained a longer life because of this, every time Ning Chen must have felt extremely tormented when he thought that this was achieved at the expense of the lives of a dozen other companions.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen said to everyone:
“I, Ning Chen, understand all the dedication that everyone has shown just now, and I also express my gratitude to everyone on behalf of the entire Blue Star Civilization. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. But please rest assured, I will never let this happen. The situation we are facing now is definitely much better than what everyone just described..."
Said, Ning Chen calculated for everyone the supplies they now had and how long they could survive under extreme conditions.
"Based on our current resources, as long as we plan these resources reasonably, we can survive for at least a year and a half, or even longer. Based on this material stock, at least for now, we don't need to worry In the event that supplies are exhausted, we can spend some time first to think about our response strategy..."
Although their planned mission execution time this time is only six months, But because Ning Chen has always had very safe habits, this allowed Ning Chen to prepare more supplies to face special situations that may arise.
Moreover, the spacecraft also has a circulation system for various materials, which allows the spacecraft to recycle some valuable resources, including water and materials, thereby maximizing everyone's survival time. After hearing Ning Chen's words, everyone calmed down and realized that it was indeed not a rational choice to distribute all the supplies to Ning Chen right now.
If you think about it from another angle, if you watch your companions around you die one after another, and then live alone on Mars, what will happen? It can be said to be an extremely despairing thing.
However, just such a plan cannot fundamentally solve the key problem. After all, these resources will be exhausted sooner or later, and everyone will still have to face the problem of being unable to return to Blue Star.
"Academician Ning, the methods you mentioned can indeed maximize our resources. But after our resources are completely consumed, will we continue to stay on Mars? The resources here are so It’s barren, and we don’t have enough tools to transform the Martian environment. It’s impossible to transform Mars into their home right away, right?”
This problem is a very real one, Ning Chen. Naturally, we would not just think of such a way to delay time, so we continued to explain to everyone:
"The reason why we want to delay as much time as possible is naturally to hope that we can find a breakthrough during this period of time. The Blue Star atmosphere is a spacecraft barrier method. Since the relevant information is not comprehensive enough, I cannot find out the specific method immediately, but I can tell you an alternative plan first..."
When they heard the words "alternative plan", everyone's expressions were shocked, and they immediately doubled their concentration, looking forward to what Ning Chen's alternative plan was.
Although everyone understands that based on the tone of Ning Chen's words, this alternative plan may not be perfect and may not even lead everyone to successfully break through the barrier and return to Blue Star, but it is still much better than staying on Mars.
With everyone’s expectant eyes, Ning Chen continued:
“This alternative is that we no longer regard Blue Star as the destination, but change the destination to For the moon. Although the moon is still undergoing transformation and has not reached the level of becoming another home for mankind, in comparison, the level of transformation of the moon is still much better than that of Mars. The resources on the moon are now very abundant. , enough for us to live for a long time, and there are many of our companions here, who are in basically the same situation as us..."
Everyone was surprised to hear that Ning Chen actually moved his destination to the moon. At the same time, I also realized that this was indeed a very clever method.
Although this "Believers of God" organization has blocked the entire Blue Star's atmosphere through some advanced technology, the scope of this blockade has not been extended to the moon.
Therefore, in theory, the possibility of everyone successfully reaching the moon from Mars is very high. Even if the problem of Blue Star's atmospheric barrier cannot be solved, at least everyone's life safety can be guaranteed for a long time.
“I support Academician Ning’s idea. There are many of our companions on the moon. With the strength of all of us, we will be able to live smoothly and return to the Blue Star together!”
"Yes, the level of development on the moon is actually very high now. We even have the ability to grow vegetables on the moon. After all, the environment on the moon is definitely much better than that on Mars. I am willing to choose to live on the moon!”
“That so-called organization is just temporarily using some technology that is beyond the Blue Star civilization. Otherwise, they would not be able to fight against us. . Academician Ning, let’s follow your advice immediately and let’s go to the moon together!”
Seeing that everyone’s mood has eased, and everyone is very much in agreement with such a plan, Ning Chen’s heart He also breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
In fact, this plan was not Ning Chen's real alternative. It was just to give everyone hope of continuing to live that Ning Chen told others about this plan.
As for matters related to air and space fighters, Ning Chen will definitely keep them secret for the time being. This is Ning Chen’s last trump card. Ning Chen will never tell anyone except Song Xiyun until it is absolutely necessary. disclosed by anyone else.
After telling everyone these things, Ning Chen asked everyone to go to rest. The next Mars exploration mission will also be basically put on hold. All the work done by everyone will be maintained. Your own status is the core.
After returning to the resting area, Song Xiyun couldn't help but ask Ning Chen:
"Ning Chen, is this plan to go to the moon really what you really think in your heart? ? I always feel that this is not your real purpose?”
Song Xiyun's sixth sense was as accurate as ever, and for Song Xiyun, Ning Chen would definitely not hide her true inner thoughts.
"Song Xiyun, I can only say that this plan to go to the moon will not be a high-priority plan, and in the end it may not be implemented at all. But at this time, we must come up with something A plan that seems reasonable can’t really have no action.”
“Ning Chen, is this just a plan to appease people? In addition to this plan, do you have other plans? What is a better alternative plan? "
"This is not only a plan to appease people, but also a message I want to reveal to the organization and the alien civilization behind it. Maybe this can be done. Help us open a window, so that we can use this opportunity to achieve the goal of returning to Blue Star..."
Ning Chen's words gradually made Song Xiyun suddenly enlightened, and she realized that the problem Ning Chen was thinking about was far away. Far more than one level higher than myself.
"Song Xiyun, since we can think of a plan to go to the moon, it is unlikely that this organization and the alien civilization behind it will not think of this. Presumably they have already thought of countermeasures for us to go to the moon in advance. After that, they We will definitely continue to carry out other actions..."
