Inside the whole building is a grand hall, until the high platform at the end. There are tombs neatly arranged in the hall, and stone tablets are erected on each cemetery, with the name and brief life of the deceased engraved on it. Except for a few tombs that are empty, most of the cemeteries have owners.

At a glance, it can be estimated that at least hundreds of people are buried here. And Chu Jungui knew at a glance that there were 152 dead people buried, and 48 tombs were still empty.

Why was such a cemetery built in the camp? Why did so many people die?

Everyone's eyes fell on the high platform, where stood a stone tablet several meters high, with densely packed inscriptions engraved on it. Because it was carved with 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 on the stele are still legible.

The personal terminal automatically translated the inscription into a content that everyone can understand.

"December 15th, 2612 in the era of the mother planet. This is a date of shame and sadness, which will be remembered in the hearts of each of us, if we can survive. I, Oberlan, 151st deep space exploration spacecraft Captain, hereby faithfully record what happened."

"Between Planets 1 and 2, we finally chose Planet 1, exhausting the last remaining fuel. The final decision was made jointly by myself, the expedition leader, and the immigration director for the following reasons: Planet 1, Planet 1 There is a lot of helium, and we can refuel here. The second and second planets are farther away, the landing is risky, and the environment is not suitable for life."

"When we entered planet No. 1, we realized that we had made a fatal mistake. There was no water. Although there was a large amount of helium, it was not what we could extract with our current technology. Planet No. 2 confirmed that there was not only water, but also a certain amount of helium. 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. The reason for making a wrong judgment is a small error in the sensor and a Careless analyst."

"I executed the analyst."

"On the first day of landing, we had a heated argument. Everyone understood that we could only survive on the water and oxygen stored on the colony ship, and to get new water, we needed more energy. Sorry Yes, we're running out of fuel, too."

"The only solution is to transform the rescue capsule into a manned spaceship and go to planet No. 2. This is a one-way ticket, and it can only be used by a few people."

"It took us half a year to finally select the candidates to go to Planet 2. In this short period of 180 days, all the conspiracy, deceit, betrayal and violence in human history were staged in turn, just to get a ticket .As the captain, I only washed my face once in 180 days and used half a glass of water."

"As the captain, I decided to stay and take the last voyage with most of my crew."

"However, the biggest betrayal came from the day when the rescue capsule was launched. The rescue capsule was launched suddenly when most people were asleep. There were some people on it who shouldn't be there, and some people who should have been on it were thrown away. The most important thing Sadly, they took the rest of the water and left us with only one month."

"We spent our last days building this cemetery for the souls that rested in this sad journey. And I, as the last person to die, was responsible for burying them and documenting everything."

"Finally, forgive me, a captain who failed to bring his crew to their new homeland, Oberland."

After reading the inscription and looking at the rows of cemeteries, everyone felt heavy. Needless to say, one can feel the desperation and helplessness of these explorers at that time.

Li Ruobai let out a heavy breath, and said, "At least the modified body is not wrong in one point. Planet No. 2 is full of descendants of criminals."

Chu Jungui said: "But there is good news, there is a lot of helium here, maybe we have to stay for a few more days."

Li Ruobai nodded, "They can find helium, and we can find it even more. As long as enough helium is extracted, we will have fusion fuel, which should be able to support us until we fly back, or at least fly to a human star field."

Chu Jungui turned on his personal terminal, scanned the tombstone and the cemetery, and recorded all the scenes.

This is just a microcosm of human beings' exploration of deep space in the early years. For thousands of years, I don't know how many immigrant exploration spaceships quietly disappeared in the depths of the starry sky, and there has been no news since then. The history of mankind's interstellar pioneering is written with the bones of countless adventurers. With such a heavy sacrifice, the glory of the later era of interstellar navigation was achieved.

"Let's go to the spaceship to have a look, it's almost here." Li Ruobai said.

The four left the camp and drove to the spaceship in an off-road vehicle.

Seen from a close distance, this huge spaceship, hundreds of meters long and nearly 100 meters high, is still magnificent, like a flying fortress.

The explorers built several ramps leading directly to the hatches of the spacecraft to facilitate entry and exit.

At this moment, everything is silent, even the cabin door is covered by a layer of gravel.

Chu Jungui nodded to Li Ruobai, brought a cleaning machine to the cabin door, and began to clean up the sand and gravel attached to the door. The surface is cleaned up and the hatch comes out intact. Chu Jungui tested the internal pressure again, and seeing that 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 cabin door, and a foul air gushed out from it. 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 people lying in the cemetery would have died of lack of oxygen if they hadn't died of thirst."

The two turned on the lighting system on the battle armor, walked into the spaceship, and began to search area by area.

This spacecraft is a typical interstellar immigration spacecraft, with a huge refrigerated dormant area inside, which can accommodate hundreds of immigrants. There is also a huge cargo area to carry the supplies needed during the long journey, as well as the initial materials when arriving at the destination to build a new base.

According to the scale of carrying immigrants, this is a development spaceship with more functions of exploration than immigration, responsible for establishing the initial forward base in a star field that has been explored for the first time. Once it is found that the planet has the possibility and need of further immigration, a larger immigration fleet will set off from the home planet and embark on a journey.

Li Ruobai had flown many advanced warships, but he didn't have much interest in this antique immigrant ship. What's more, the cargo hold area is empty, which shows that most of the materials are used for the construction of the spacecraft to the second planet. Even if the cargo hold is full, Li Ruobai is not interested in the technology hundreds of years ago.

Looking at the cabins one by one, Li Ruobai suddenly stopped in front of a cabin door, thoughtfully, then turned around and said: "It seems that the people on this boat are not easy!"
