"Captain, there are currently 23,439 people on the Noah One, 15,023 ineers, and the rest scientists…"

In the Noah One's captain roo briefed by his few adjutants

"Is that so? We've lost so hed as he leaned back in his chair and pressed his military cap down over his face He stayedhis adjutants nervous and helpless

Finally, Norton raised his head and said, "Thankfully, the lower half of the ship is e as, is our plan to colonize other planets still viable? Can we still survive in space?"

The few adjutants were silent because they were the most familiar with the severity of the loss The Noah One had lost one third of its people and a large amount of supply, especially the radioactive ores These were the Noah One's y, and this accident had made 80 percent of them disappear The next were the spare parts, like loco Without these, resource harvesting would take a lot ain, "How's the planet?"

An adjutant replied immediately, "An exploratory teah the crack to investigate the planet The result already came back on the planet's ate showed The planet air contains 20 percent oxygen, but the level of carbon dioxide was slightly higher than Earth's, so both professors suggest that before they can get a clearer reading, everyone should wear spacesuits before venturing outside"

Norton nodded "How about the crack on the Noah One? Is there leakage froe Since the Noah One has an isolated cabin structure, there are isolating partitions between each cabin Therefore, other than the 30 plus soldiers, none of the others have been exposed to the planet's air"

"Is that so?" Norton reverted to silence once more and the whole rooan, but what he said see to do with the situation at hand "Every one of us knew about our future e left We knew this was a journey of no return Our bodies, our souls, have lost our home, our home planet… Earth, like a baby as taken away from his mother's embrace We won't able to return even if we die here…"

Norton stood up suddenly and stared at the picture of Jesus on the cross that hung in the captain's room The picture seemed to represent perfectly their current situation

"However, this was a step we had to take because Earth was too small for humanity… Destruction of materials, nature, and the environ the home planet that had birthed and cared for us for millennia However, for the sake of our future, this destruction will have to continue until Earth was no more…

"Therefore, we had to leave Perhaps ill never return to Earth again, and perhaps this will be a futile effort, but at least we've tried We've sowed a seed of hope for humanity's future This will be our contribution…"

Norton paused to lift up his military cap and observed "This can be much worse because at least most of the scientists survived This y to survive… How about the sperhed in relief upon witnessing their captain return to his usual self One of them replied, "The bank is unharmed It is located in the o check on it It is totally fine"

"Then we shall follow the decided plan Startthe first batch of 300 babies and repair the ship Increase the speed of breaking through the crack so that we can fire the satellite into space as soon as possible…"
