Black Technology: Start with the Space Jumper

Chapter 6 Choice
"I have to say that using the temperature difference between inside and outside to condense the moisture in the air is really a ghost idea."

"That's because the air system in the cockpit is a technology we can't understand!"

"But even if the water source is not a problem, the food carried by the target can't last long. Those paper skins on the wall can be eaten after simple treatment if necessary, but they still can't last more than three months."

"The relative position of Mars and Blue Star is not good now. Even if the launch plan is ready, it will take almost two years to land on Mars."

In the closed base, dozens of top-ranking scholars in the Huaguo think tank were divided into six discussion groups for brainstorming. The topic of the content was of course the analysis of Lu Yu's situation.

"Then why don't you try that so-called system? Since the space-jumping machine can be replaced, it doesn't seem too difficult to create a food-generating machine."

"According to the description of the goal, it requires so-called points, and points are something that can only be obtained by promoting the development of science and technology on Blue Star."

"Then why can't we let the target send back Mars image data, and then disclose or recruit a group of professors of related majors in his name to research the results with the data provided by the target, so that the target can be regarded as promoting the development of science, after all, astronomy is also a An important science subject!"

"This is a way of thinking, but the environment of Mars has been continuously explored as early as the last century. With the release of more and more data in recent years, image data alone may no longer have any effect on astronomy. The goal Confined in the cockpit, without suitable equipment to collect and analyze the Martian environment, it is not much better than the detection function that Zhurong can play."

Having said that, the entire discussion group fell into a subtle silence.

It’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. The protagonist in "The Martian" at least needs a simple base, but Lu Yu can only stay in a narrow cockpit, and it is difficult to even straighten his feet. There is really no room for showy operations.

Wei Wei felt a little cold, and after looking around for a week, the host sitting in the middle asked the middle-aged man who hadn't spoken: "Professor Han, you are one of the most authoritative professors of human psychology in China, why are you so taciturn today?" look?"

"All the professors expressed their own professional opinions."

The middle-aged man called Professor Han said with a faint sigh: "I think everyone has made a mistake of a premise, and everyone seems to have subconsciously ignored a possibility."

"Why don't you jump in space again? Now that the target is on Mars, the lack of supplies is hard to support, and Blue Star is doomed not to be rescued in time. It is completely doomed. But just now a professor also said that he can last for almost three months. Then There are almost 720 opportunities for space jumps, only jumping out of Mars may still have a chance of survival."

"Of course I know why, and everyone knows why, but no one wants to say it."

"Forget it, I'll be the bad guy. It's nothing more than the universe is so big, even if the target jumps in space, the probability of surviving is extremely low."

"But if he can die on Mars, we can still recover the space jumping machine! And if he space jumps and disappears into the vast universe, we will never get it again."

Professor Han blatantly stated the possibility that the discussion group had been avoiding all along, and everyone's eyes flickered, staring at the psychology professor who began to analyze human nature.

I saw Professor Han adjusted his glasses, sighed and said: "From a psychological point of view, and from the fact that the target revealed a lot of information, he has given us great trust, and entrusting this trust is to let us He can get out of trouble."

"But if over time, the target can easily realize that we can't really help him, this trust will start to slowly decline."

"And with the physical and mental impact of being out of food and being in a narrow space for a long time, I think that sooner or later the goal will be desperate, and open up the space jump to fight for the small possibility."

"Even for professionally trained personnel, when faced with this tortured long-term and chronic death, the desire to survive will sooner or later overwhelm the rationality, and seek the small possibility of survival."

"It's not about sanity, it's about our instincts as creatures."

"So why can't we give a pertinent suggestion, let him choose whether to use the space jump to gain a chance after confirming that the returned image of Mars can't allow him to get points."

"In this way, his trust can be preserved, and there may be a chance for him to turn around when his sanity collapses in the future."

"After all, we have never had the right to decide whether to start the space jump or not. Everything depends on his choice."

………………

Unknowingly, Lu Yu, who has been on Mars for the third day, feels depressed because of the long stay in the cramped cockpit.

And he started dieting, except that he ate half full when he first arrived on Mars, and only ate two biscuits in the following time. The hypoglycemia caused by hunger would make people unbearably irritable.

The only consolation is that at least the mobile phone can still access the Internet. Watching novels and brushing videos on Mars is the only way for Lu Yu to soothe his mood now.

I looked at the time, and when it was time for the agreed communication, I got up and pulled the steel wire tied to the corner of the bridge, and pulled back a flat plastic bottle from the light film, which contained frozen ice.

Put the bottle in the big broken bottle and let it condense the water vapor in the air by itself.

Relying on these three days, Lu Yu used this method to collect more than 30 bottles of water, large and small, and he didn't have to worry about water in a short period of time.

After completing this step, Lu Yu opened the newly downloaded APP on his mobile phone. This APP is a mobile phone software developed for extremely confidentiality and convenient for him to use.

After opening, you can choose text communication or video interaction.

"We have asked several astronomy professors to complete the corresponding papers on the Mars image data you captured, and they have been published in the most authoritative scientific journals in China. The foreign submissions are still under review."

"Has your system... got points?"

In order to reduce calorie expenditure, Lu Yu has been advised countless times by experts not to make unnecessary movements, it is best to lie in position and not move, so his answer was just shaking his head.

At the other end of the video, the pretty girl poking at Lu Yu's XP showed a disappointed expression, as if she felt sorry for him: "The professors suggested that you might as well consider using space jump and leave Mars to win the first line when you still have some food to support you. vitality."

"Continuing to stay on Mars is already..."

A warm feeling that he did not live up to his trust flowed through his heart. Long before he decided to contact the official, Lu Yu had already thought about whether to make such a gamble.

Such encouragement instead made him hesitate. Maybe it would be better to leave the Silver Star as his legacy to mankind?
When human beings overcome many technical problems leading to the ocean of stars because of the Silver Star, maybe one day their own names will be recorded in the annals of history, right?

But the desire to live is the only motivation for Lu Yu, who is now starving, to persevere.

The flash of humanity of self-sacrifice can make Lu Yu great after death, but the bestiality of longing to live may allow him to grasp the possibility of life extension.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yu rarely said: "Indeed, it's time to consider another method."

The two sides were silent for a while, and he spoke again: "Could I please invite an astronomy professor?"

"No problem, please wait."

Lu Yu's current request, as long as it can be realized, can basically be satisfied. Yesterday he even received personal encouragement from the chief.

A gray-haired professor soon appeared in the video. Lu Yu adjusted the angle of the phone camera so that it could capture the night sky outside: "Can you help me find out where the blue star is?"

At this time, the dawn of Mars is approaching, and there is already a ray of light on the horizon.

Lu Yu looked at the sky according to the explanation given by the professor of astronomy. The atmosphere of Mars was so thin that there was no sense of existence. The pure black sky was full of stars.

Soon he found the star representing the blue star, and observed it with the naked eye on Mars, it was so ordinary that it was no different from the stars in the sky.

For Lu Yu, a human being, it is so unique.

That is my home planet.My race, the cradle of my civilization.

"I want to go back to that star, let me go home!"

Lu Yu, who looked at Lan Xing for a long time, muttered in his heart, and slowly closed his eyes.

"clatter."

Gazing at the star disappearing into the brighter and brighter light, Lu Yu reached out his hand with determination and flipped the lever switch, ushering in the second space jump in his life.
