Quick Travel: Records of Extraordinary Creatures

Chapter 371 Interstellar Era, Annihilation of the Mother Planet (8)

"Captain Du, I think what Zhou Ailian said is reasonable. Of the 46 interstellar exploration ships that set out together back then, 150 of them have been damaged due to various accidents. The exploration was abandoned and or ships returned to the Emperor Star. Not many The explorer continued to hold on.

Even if we continue to persevere, the probability of finding the parent star in the future is very small, why bother? "

As long as they can find a little bit of clues and clues in these years, they may continue to explore with hope, but the key point is that they haven't found any good news for more than 600 years. , who can not despair?
So Li Dongting quickly agreed.

Although he didn't directly say that he wanted to go back, he also pointed out that there was little hope, and the implication was that it would be better to go back.

Xiong Zi also said bluntly at this time:

"300 years ago, there were many people on Starnet discussing the matter of finding the parent star, although most of the discussions were about questioning whether the parent star still existed, whether it had been destroyed long ago, and whether it was just the above-edited A nonsense, wasting our youth.

However, in the past 200 years, there have been fewer people who questioned it. Even the mother star research institute and the ancient history research institute, which were at their peak in the past, are now in a mess. Not only are the annual allocations reduced by a few zeros.

Even recruiting employees has become very difficult.

Some colleges and universities even directly banned related majors.

All these things, although they did not directly say that the so-called search for the mother star is a lie, but it is almost like saying it, or it is basically confirmed that there is no hope, but the relevant agencies are embarrassed to directly announce that’s all, they can only play down . "

"At the beginning, I hoped that one day I would find the mother star. Even if I was not the real discoverer, I could at least leave a name in the history books because of my participation in this work, but now I have to put a question mark on whether the mother star exists or not. , what I did is really meaningless!
For this matter, I have wasted more than 600 years of time. Even if the time of deep sleep is shortened to my real life, I have wasted more than 30 years of life. Even if my life is much longer than before, but More than 30 years is not a small number. I don't have a few 30 years to waste in my life.

I don't want to keep wasting the next 30 years.

And even the next 30 years.

Then go back with nothing and nothing.

So although saying this sounds a bit like being a deserter, I really don’t want to go on anymore. My thoughts are the same as Zhou Ailian’s, I hope to go back. Even if you still want to continue exploring, I hope you can first Let's send it back, first take ten years to send us back, and then you can come again.

Anyway, as long as you remember the coordinates, you can jump over directly. It’s nothing more than 20 years back and forth. If you insist on that, you should be able to afford to waste 20 years. I think this is what other people mean. "

Because the control of the exploration ship is in the hands of the captain.

Even though they were far away from Emperor Star, they didn't dare to say that they had assassinated the captain, and then privately manipulated the exploration ship back, so they could only use public opinion to facilitate this matter.

As long as most of the thirteen people support going back.

Du Huaixiang was not good at rejecting this matter forcefully.

"Have you forgotten the oath you made before you took off? Didn't you say that you would never return if you didn't find your home planet? Didn't you say that you were willing to spend the rest of your life for this goal and treat it as a lifelong career?"

Although Du Huaixiang's expression was still the same, his pupils were full of disappointment.

Everyone has changed, a lot has changed.

"Struggle must have a purpose, and it must give us a little hope, but now, we don't see any hope. What's the point of such aimless struggle, and the struggle is nothing but nothing in the end.

You have no parents, no wife and children, and you are alone.

But we are not.

There may be some hope for three hundred exploration ships to search together, but now that there are no one to continue to explore in so many directions, who can guarantee that the real location of the parent star is not the star field that no one has explored?

Even proportionally.

This probability is actually relatively high, okay? "

Zhou Ailian continued. He was really tired. At this moment, he wanted to go back to spend the last years with his mother, and then accompany his granddaughter who was about to die and didn't even go back to attend the wedding.

Not everyone is willing, or has money, to use the sleeping cabin uninterruptedly to sleep for hundreds of years, 600 years is a long time, long enough to send away several generations, so long that a large number of people no longer know about them They don't know that there is a plan to explore their home planet. In the future, they will most likely not be famous in history, but will be directly forgotten by future generations.

Afterwards, the other people who did not speak all expressed their views one after another. Although there were three people who still supported continuing to explore, otherwise all these years would not be wasted, but more people still expressed that they were tired and did not want to continue exploring. Keep doing useless work.

Seeing that most people are not in favor of continuing to explore.

Du Huaixiang could only follow the opinions of the majority and apply to the higher authorities to return. The relevant agencies probably saw a lot of similar situations, and they agreed without asking why, and helped them open the authority for space wormhole transition, which is convenient They go home faster.

……

Human Federation, Emperor Star.

Ministry of Finance, Major Project Appropriations Seminar.

David, who was in charge of organizing the meeting, was really helpless, and put the application for the Root-seeking Project aside:
"Liu Yue, why don't you give up!

Don't think that you can successfully apply for so much money by changing your name, okay? Isn't the so-called root-seeking plan still going on now, and it has no results, and it didn't directly fail to find the mother star plan?

3000 billion funds!

Exchanged into real currency, it can be piled up into a mountain, and can fill up a small lake, but when you put it into your previous Li Yue's plan to find the mother star, you didn't even see a splash, and you ruined a lot in vain human life.

We have already given a lot of face to you by not banning your mother planet cultural research institute. How could we agree to another root-seeking plan? Isn’t that a waste of national tax money?Don't come here again, okay?

Also don't submit this stuff anymore.

We will not approve it. "

"David, the information left by countless predecessors is enough to prove that the parent star exists. We are not native life forms of the emperor star. We migrated from other galaxies. Forgetting the past is tantamount to betrayal!"

"I firmly believe that the mother star may exist in a certain star field that the interstellar exploration ship has not continued to explore. As long as I allocate another 500 billion funds, I can continue the root-seeking plan.

You believe me, it will be successful.

I dare to pledge my life..."

Although Liu Yue didn't come, her holographic projection was trying to persuade everyone present excitedly.

"Sorry, your life is not worth 500 billion.

I hope that when you submit your application next time, at least bring some accurate and reliable clues, instead of just drawing cakes for us out of thin air. We won't eat this, understand?
In the entire river system, there are many civilizations without ancient memory history, and no civilization has been seen to die or live.

Don't always dwell on the past, okay?

So what if you find your parent star.

It's nothing more than one more tourist attraction!

If you apply for an ordinary planet, you need to transform it into a home planet, and get some ancient cities or ancient custom streets that can be found in historical records.

I can give you approval right away. "

The so-called different ways, not conspiring with each other, David and Liu Yue's ideas are completely different, so it is difficult to reach an agreement in this regard, which is perfectly normal.

The end result, of course, is that the application fails.

Not a penny was approved.
