On the fourteenth day after the advent, all crew members were successfully awakened.

More than 500 human elites from the mother planet were shocked by the success of the Dandelion Project, but also lamented their eternal separation from their hometown.

Now, they are the new pioneers.

This planet has many similarities with its parent planet, but also many differences.

Within the observable range, there are no terrain called mountains on this planet. If it were not for the sea near the landing point of the spacecraft, people would almost think that this place is completely flat.

As the captain of the guard, Vladimir had to stay on the spacecraft, so Wencheng naturally took on the third position, that is, the exploration captain who led the team out for exploration.

This did not bring too much burden to Wencheng, because with the loss of a large amount of artificial intelligence, his original job when he boarded the spacecraft - robot maintainer - had completely disappeared in name only.

Wencheng found several pieces of the spacecraft's secondary body during his exploration of the surroundings, but those pieces together were only enough to complete one-third of the ring, and Wencheng didn't know where the rest of the pieces fell.

As for those parts that were found, there was no life support cabin from beginning to end, only some industrial raw materials and industrial equipment that could carry out basic development.

At the same time, Wen Cheng also completely understood why the shattered secondary body was fine after passing through the atmosphere and making a hard landing. It was because of the existence of the black substance.

They act like a layer of non-Newtonian fluid, forming a hard shell on the surface of the spacecraft debris, absorbing most of the impact caused by the hard landing.

As time goes by, the black substance fades more and more.

Every time Wencheng saw that kind of creature, its color was slightly lighter than the last time.

It seems that as time goes by, they will turn completely white.

Through repeated contacts, Wen Cheng has confirmed that those things have a certain fear of high temperature and shock waves, but every time they use the same means to attack, their resistance to that method seems to increase.

Wencheng has always been cautious in formulating tactics, and now that human numbers are extremely scarce, he must cherish every soldier under his command.

It's the fourth month now.

Therefore, in nearly a hundred operations over several months, he and his soldiers did not succeed in capturing the target creature once, and the human side did not suffer any losses.

Wencheng's behavior won the favor of the soldiers, but also earned the dissatisfaction of Vladimir, the captain and others.

They would watch the replay of every exploration video. They were not fools. The ability of those unknown creatures to adapt and change far exceeded that of current humans. They couldn't help but be nervous.

However, Wencheng always stopped when he saw the good results, and did not show any sign of striving for the future.

Vladimir had decades of military experience before boarding the Dandelion III spacecraft, and in his eyes, human life is just a universal currency to measure value.

A joint notice was sent to Wencheng through the spacecraft system. The two officers expressed in a serious and formal tone that they "hoped" Wencheng would get samples of the unknown creatures within a month.

Also agreeing with the plan was Hines, the biologist leader who woke up on the ship and was also eager for unknown samples.

Under pressure from many parties, Wencheng had to reformulate the battle plan and was prepared for the sacrifice of some team members.

He always obeys authority and maintains absolute loyalty to humans.

But he was only a second-line member on the ship after all, and he didn't know that a disagreement had already appeared among the others and the rift was widening.

While Wencheng continued to explore and modify his plans, two different opinions emerged among the human leaders who had decision-making power.

The point of disagreement is whether to start the work of awakening the frozen embryos quickly.

Currently, the total number of humans who can be utilized is less than 600, because there is always a shortage of manpower due to various divisions of labor.

The current food reserves are very sufficient, and the cabins that can continuously produce food are even buried underground. It can be said that as long as the spacecraft itself is not lost, the food will not run out in a short time.

This makes some senior executives more inclined to awaken and ripen some embryos so that they can be put into use quickly.

The Dandelion III spacecraft has this capability. Using the facilities in a large greenhouse, it can allow tens of thousands of embryos to begin rapid development at the same time, and the nutrient reserves from the mother planet are also sufficient.

It only takes a year for them to be able to break away from the device at a state close to that of a ten-year-old.

Another device that can affect the brain is able to modify human memory, including but not limited to erasure and addition.

As long as this plan is implemented, humans will be able to obtain a huge number of young humans who can perform most of the auxiliary work in a year. If there is more time, they can even be born to be around fourteen years old.

Of course, such accelerated ripening is not without side effects. As a price, the life span of these people is only half that of normally developed humans, and after being awakened, it will be difficult for them to accept new things.

In other words, the upper limit of their knowledge reserves will probably be the knowledge they are born with.

And they can't even fully understand these things that appear out of nowhere in their minds.

A group of people led by Hines supported this plan, and their views were very clear:

They are not trying to wake up all the embryos, but just randomly select some of them to use to get through the current difficulties.

Although these people may die prematurely due to various side effects, at least they use their lives to help lay the foundation for a better life for those who come after them.

Even if they can get through this difficult time, they will certainly find ways to help these people extend their lifespans and try to make their efforts rewarded.

And if we can’t overcome this difficulty, what future will we have?

Another group of leaders, led by the captain and the deputy captain, strongly opposed the plan.

They believe that the role of the dormant vanguard is to lay the foundation for those lives that have not yet developed, rather than treating them as consumables to be toyed with and used at will.

No one knows what the future will be like, so no one can convince the other.

So they all focused their attention on Wencheng and his exploration team.

External pressure is the best bridge, and the research results of extraterrestrial life samples will play a decisive role in the final decision of the upper level.
