In the silence of space.
A large spaceship that looked like a baleen whale sailed forward silently.
Perhaps because it had been drifting for too long, the surface of the spaceship was mottled and uneven. Many parts of the structure had fallen off, and there were even some parts that were damaged by impact that were repaired with steel plates.
It gave people a feeling of "going through the vicissitudes of life."
At this time, in a corner of the bridge control hall of the large spaceship.
There was a white hibernation pod.
Suddenly, the control panel screen of the hibernation pod lit up, and a string of green text appeared.
"Beep ~ Destination arrived. Awakening the supreme commander."
"5, 4, 3
, 2, 1, awakening … "
"Ding ~"
White smoke leaked out of the hibernation pod, and the hatch lid automatically slid down.
After a while.
"Ouch ~"
There was a moan. A woman in a yellow cabin uniform, with her hair loose, sat up with some difficulty. She pressed her head with her hand, and her face showed a painful expression. "It hurts."
She opened her eyes, and her vision gradually changed from blurry to clear. It took her a long time to adapt to the environment with light.
Her mind was blank at first, and then some scenes flashed, and then more and more.
About five minutes later.
The woman walked out of the hibernation pod, simply tucked her hair behind her head, and walked straight to the console.
She looked up and saw through the glass of the porthole.
Her face suddenly showed a look of excitement and joy.
This was because in front of her, there was an asteroid belt with countless floating asteroids, a gaseous planet visible to the naked eye, and in the center of the asteroid belt, there was a star that emitted an orange glow. The dim yellow sunlight even sprinkled on her body.
Looking at the data on the instrument, she was 5.8 astronomical units away from the Walf main sequence star.
"We're here, we're here, the new hope of human civilization," she whispered softly.
She maintained a serious expression for decades, but at this moment, a joyful smile bloomed, and she could no longer restrain herself.
"Yunhua, this is the first time I've seen you smile like this."
A mechanical old voice came from the console, and then the face of a middle-aged man was projected on the screen.
"Pangu, we're here, right?" the woman asked in a tone of confirmation.
"Yes, we're here, as you can see."
"You've worked hard, Pangu. In the last ten years, the situation was almost completely out of control. There was no other way but collective hibernation. I really am not a qualified captain."
"Don't belittle yourself, Yunhua. It might be worse without you. At least, we have arrived at our destination. You can breathe a sigh of relief."
"Yeah."
Mu Yunhua took a deep breath. "The most difficult moment has finally passed. I've walked out of hell."
"Right." She asked again, "Pangu, give me a brief report on the current situation of the spaceship."
"Alright, Blue Spaceship. After a long voyage of 67 years, 91 days, and 14 hours, we currently have 106401 crew members remaining. We have 0.01% of our material reserves remaining. Our fuel is basically depleted, and the spaceship's damage is 11.3%. The simulated ecosystem is in a half-collapsed state …"
"But the only good news is that the thirteen unmanned mining starships that I sent out will deliver the first batch of meteoroids from the meteoroid belt up ahead in sixteen hours. Everything will be better.
"Great."
A smile appeared on Mu Yunhua's face again.
…
Ten days later.
After receiving sufficient supplies from the asteroid belt, the Blue Spaceship's dilapidated appearance had disappeared. Many parts of the spaceship looked brand new.
The spacecraft's power system had recovered by 90%.
The ecosystem had recovered to 100%.
The most intuitive manifestation of this was that every corner of the spaceship was filled with bright lights.
In addition, the crew members who had been in a dormant state had been awakened for the first time. There were about 1,000 mid-level and high-level elites.
Among them, the 18 highest-ranking representatives held a discussion meeting at the large round table in the control hall of the bridge.
The core of the meeting was naturally planning and imagination for the future.
"Yesterday, I used an astronomical telescope and saw the planet with water."
It's 1.3 times the size of the mother planet, Haierfa. 53% of its surface is covered with seawater, which means that the land area is large enough for 10 to 20 billion people to live in. It has a thick atmosphere, which is exactly the most suitable habitable zone for life. The average temperature of the planet is 17 degrees, and there are ice sheets at both poles. It takes 32.6 hours for one rotation. In addition, it has a geomagnetic field that is strong enough to resist high-energy particles.
"Perfect, a perfect habitable planet.
"It can even be asserted that it is only a matter of time before such a planet gives birth to life.
"Now it has become our second home. We will transform it into a second Haierfa! Hahaha … "
The scientist representative was very excited.
"Ahem …"
Mu Yunhua coughed. "Dr. Huang, what you said is the consensus of all of us. Planet Walf will indeed become our beautiful new home, but the problem we are facing now is whether to transfer most of the crew to the surface of Walf and fully participate in the construction of the immigration base, or to transfer only some of the crew and leave about half of them to complete some work on the spaceship as an immigration space station."
"It goes without saying. Of course, we will transfer most of the crew to Walf."
"To tell you the truth, everyone, I am tired of this cage that has trapped us for 60 or 70 years. If possible, I want to stay on the surface of the planet forever to work and leave this place."
"Let's transfer most of the crew. We need a lot of people on the ground. Let Pangu control the spaceship. As the highest level of artificial intelligence, it can handle all problems."
"Let's transfer most of the crew. We prefer the real earth."
Of the 18 representatives, 15 thought that most of the crew should be transferred.
Only Mu Yunhua and her two trusted aides did not make a clear statement, but they did not oppose the transfer to the ground.
The vast majority supported the transfer.
Mu Yunhua vaguely felt that it was not appropriate, but listening to the complaints of the crowd, she also understood the feeling of living in a big box for decades. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as "prison." Having been mentally repressed for many years, it was completely reasonable for most of the crew to want to pursue the fresh and beautiful land.
This was also the wish of the vast majority.
In addition, the transformation of the planet's environment required a lot of manpower.
Mu Yunhua could not find a suitable reason, so she could only comply with the wishes of the majority.
As the Blue Spaceship rotated in mid-range orbit around Planet Walf, about 80,000 crew members and a huge amount of equipment and materials were busily transferred to the surface of Walf every day.
"Hahaha, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
"This is our new home! Our new future! "
"Let's embark on a new beginning from here!"
"Although it is still barren, we can already see hope and happiness."
"…"
Every crew member was very excited to set foot on this hopeful planet for the first time, cheering and jumping for joy.
