Chapter 174: cemetery

Inside the entire building is a grand hall until the high platform at the end. Inside the hall are neatly arranged a series of burial chambers. On each cemetery there are stone monuments engraved with the name and brief life of the deceased. With the exception of a few burial chambers, most cemeteries have owners.
At a glance, it can be estimated that at least hundreds of people are buried here. At a glance, Chu Jun knew that there were 152 dead and 48 burial chambers empty.
Why was such a cemetery built in the camp? Why did so many people die?
The eyes of all the people fell on the high platform, where a multi-meter-high stone monument was engraved with dense inscriptions. Because it was carved from the rock of planet one itself and protected by the building itself, this stele has been preserved to this day, and most of the inscriptions are still legible.
The personal terminal automatically translates the inscription into a content that everyone can understand.
"December 15, 2612, this is a shameful and sad day that will be remembered in the hearts of each of us if we can survive. I, Oberland, 151th Deep Space Exploration Ship Captain here, faithfully record everything that happened. "
"Between planets one and two, we finally chose one and ran out of the last remaining fuel. The final decision was made by me, the captain of the expedition, and the director of immigration for the following reasons: Planet one and one There is a large amount of helium, and we can refuel here. Planets two and two are farther apart, there is a risk of landing, and the environment is not suitable for survival. "
"When we entered Planet One, we discovered that we made a fatal mistake. There is no water here. Although there is a large amount of helium, it is not refinable by our existing technology. Planet Two has confirmed that there is not only water but also some Proportion of oxygen. We can get enough oxygen without having to use the most blunt and primitive method to extract a little bit of water and oxygen as here. The reason for the wrong judgment is a small error of the sensor, and a Careless analyst. "
"I executed the analyst."
"On the first day of the landing, we had a fierce quarrel. Everyone understands that we can only rely on the water and oxygen stored on the immigration spacecraft to survive. To get new water, we need more energy. Unfortunately Yes, our fuel has dried up. "
"The only option is to transform the rescue capsule into a manned spacecraft and go to Planet Two. This is a one-way ticket and can only be used by a few people."
"It took us half a year to finally select the candidate for Planet Two. In these short 180 days, all conspiracy, deception, betrayal and violence in human history took place in turn, just to get a boat ticket .As the captain, I washed my face only once in these 180 days and used half a glass of water. "
"As the captain, I decided to stay and finish the last leg with most of my crew."
"However, the biggest betrayal came from the day when the rescue capsule was launched. The rescue capsule was also launched suddenly when most people were asleep, and there were some people who should not be on it, leaving some who should be on it. The most important The thing is, they took away the rest of the water, leaving us with only one month. "
"We built this cemetery in the last time to bury the souls that rested in this sad journey. And I, as the last person who died, was responsible for burying them and keeping track of everything."
"Finally, please forgive me, a captain who failed to bring the crew to their new home, Oberland."
After reading the inscription, and then looking at the rows of cemeteries, everyone was feeling heavy. Needless to say, you can experience the despair and helplessness of these explorers at the time.
Li Ruobai exhaled heavily, saying, "At least one thing was right about the transformed body. Planet 2 is a descendant of sinners."
Chu Jungui said: "But there is good news. There is a lot of helium here. Maybe we will stay a few more days."
Li Ruobai nodded, "They can find helium, we can find it better. As long as we extract enough helium, we have fusion fuel, which should be able to support us to fly back, or at least to a human star field."
Chu Jungui opened his personal terminal, scanned the tombstone and the cemetery, and recorded all the scenes.
This is just a microcosm of human's exploration of deep space in the early years. For thousands of years, I don't know how many immigrant exploration spacecraft have quietly disappeared into the depths of the starry sky. The history of human interstellar pioneering is written with the bones of countless adventurers. With such a heavy sacrifice, the glory of the later era of interstellar sailing.
"Let's go take a look at the spaceship, it's almost here," Li Ruo said in a whistle.
The four left the camp and drove the SUV to the spaceship.
Seen from a close distance, this huge spaceship that is hundreds of meters long and nearly 100 meters high is still magnificent, like a flying fortress.
The explorers built several ramps that lead directly to the spacecraft's hatch for easy access.
At this moment everything was silent, even the hatch was covered with a layer of sand and gravel ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Chu Jun nodded to Li Ruobai, brought a cleaning machine to the hatch, and began to clean up the outside of the door Gravel. The surface was cleaned and the hatch appeared completely. Chu Jungui tested the internal pressure again. When everything was normal, he switched to a high-power laser cutting machine and started cutting the hatch.
A few minutes later, a large hole was cut in the hatch, and a cloud of gas was sprayed out. Chu Jungui analyzed the air composition inside the spacecraft and said, "Everything is normal, there are no unknown bacteria or viruses, but the oxygen content is very low."
"Normally, those lying in the cemetery would die of hypoxia if they didn't die of thirst."
The two turned on the lighting system on the armor, walked into the spacecraft, and started searching area by area.
This spacecraft is a typical interstellar immigration spacecraft with a huge frozen dorm bay area inside that can hold hundreds of immigrants. There is also a large cargo bay area to carry the supplies needed for a long journey and the initial materials when a new base is built upon arrival at the destination.
According to the scale of carrying immigrants, this is a pioneering spacecraft that explores more immigrant functions, and is responsible for establishing the initial forward base in a newly explored star field. Once it is discovered that the planet has the possibility and need for further immigration, a larger immigration fleet will set off from its mother star and embark on the journey.
Li Ruobai flew a lot of advanced warships and had little interest in this old antique migrant ship. Not to mention the empty space in the cargo hold area, indicating that most of the supplies were used for the construction of the spacecraft to Planet Two. Even if the cargo hold is full, Li Ruobai has no interest in technology hundreds of years ago.
Looking at the cabins one by one, Li Ruobai suddenly stopped in front of a cabin door. If he was thinking, he turned back and said, "It seems that this boat is not easy!"
