Within just half an hour, news of the anomaly in the wormhole passage quickly spread throughout half of the Sixth Star Province, causing a huge reaction.
This is a bizarre phenomenon that is rarely seen in decades, much like a sudden storm causing a plane crash; it is a low-probability event that humanity has yet to completely avoid.
Government departments have been mobilized immediately, closing the airport and quickly compiling a list of the crashed flights.
Among them were two private spaceships carrying a production team from Blue Star Studios.
After netizens discovered this list of accidents, the official Blue Star forum immediately exploded with activity.
Chief Engineer Ming and the entire team are on the flight!!!
Tell me this isn't real! Can anyone explain wormhole fluctuations? What's going on? What are the chances of a safe return? Do we need any help?
[Blue Star has issued an announcement!!! The news is actually true!!! The cult leader is on it!!! Aa ...
Bluestar's official website quickly issued a related announcement, confirming the news circulating online.
Yes, Chief Designer Ming and his "Soul of Mortals" team of 67 people were all on one of the crashed flights.
Accompanying them were Xia Cheng, the general manager of the IPP platform, and 23 other relevant personnel.
Both spacecraft have lost contact.
The wormhole has still not fully stabilized...
Officials are working against the clock and doing everything they can to search for and rescue people!
...
At this very moment, aboard the rumored "crashed spaceship".
Mingyan and Xia Cheng were completely bewildered as the artificial intelligence reported their current location.
[SI8482N star system, P092 nebula, unknown solar system.]
Clearly stated: “???”
Xia Cheng, who knew a little more, said, "Generally, these numbered star regions mean that they haven't been named yet. Most of them are areas discovered by artificial intelligence detectors, and they haven't even attracted anyone's attention, so they haven't been named."
Mingyan was bewildered: "We just took a faster-than-light passage, why did we end up in a place we've never heard of before?"
Xia Cheng couldn't answer that question either.
Fortunately, Xia Cheng's ship had many professionals on board, and his captain quickly figured out the situation and reported that there might be a problem with the wormhole.
The faster-than-light passage is inherently mysterious; if a problem arises, even a slight error can lead to disastrous consequences.
A single second of mishap could send a spaceship in the tunnel flying several astronomical units away.
The current strategy is clear: send out distress signals as much as possible while searching for any nearby interstellar civilizations that can offer assistance.
Specialized tasks should be handled by specialized personnel.
At this point, Xia Cheng and Ming Yan were essentially useless; they could only check on the situation every day.
There's no use in rushing anyway, and this spaceship is a super-large model, more than enough to allow hundreds of people to live comfortably in space for several months.
Even if all else fails, there is a deluxe version of human cryopreservation device here, which can keep people frozen for hundreds of years until someone comes to their rescue.
This time, Mingyan happened to have left his work computer behind.
Unable to work during this time, Mingyan was quite disappointed, so he took out the two game consoles he had brought.
Xia Cheng: "..."
There are many calm people, but it's really rare to see someone like Mingyan who remains unfazed even when Mount Tai collapses before him!
Mingyan looked up, calmly patted the spot next to him, and said nonchalantly, "Let's play online."
Seeing his calm and collected demeanor, Xia Cheng silently sat down next to him.
Mingyan handed another game console to Xia Cheng and casually comforted him, "It's already happened, and there's nothing we can do to help. Instead of running around and causing trouble, we might as well sit down, consume fewer resources, and waste less time."
Xia Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "What you said... makes a lot of sense."
Why does Mingyan seem so skilled at it?
This is a lone spaceship that has been transported to a remote and sparsely populated star system!
Xia Cheng increasingly felt that Mingyan was an unpredictable man.
He had known Mingyan for many years and had seen many sides of Mingyan in his life... but he had never seen Mingyan look shocked or angry.
Or rather, Mingyan always seems to have the upper hand, giving people a feeling of extreme trustworthiness.
Xia Cheng observed Mingyan's expression with puzzlement.
While playing the game, Mingyan said without looking up, "I used to be very scared. I was afraid of dying. Who isn't afraid of dying? But I got used to it. Once you get used to it, everything is fine. Overthinking only wastes time and doesn't help."
Xia Cheng, controlling his character, sighed, "You truly are the most mentally resilient person I've ever met. I could never do that. I was just wondering if I had enough fuel, enough oxygen..."
Ming said, "Didn't the captain say that if all else fails, we can find a suitable star nearby and extract nuclear fuel directly from its surface?"
Xia Cheng said, "That's true, but this is a civilian spaceship after all. Getting too close to the surface of a star can easily cause burns, and there might not be enough alloy metal materials available for repairs."
Mingyan stroked his chin and asked, "What elements are unobtainable in outer space? The ship has multi-functional robots that can be deployed to suitable planets to explore and mine metal materials."
Xia Cheng: "..."
