History of Human Space Exploitation

Chapter 53 Biography: Shu Yehua - Part [-]

After graduating from university, Shu Yehua broke away from the flying car club of Sol Pasia Institute of Technology (SIT), and then formed his own flying car club with friends from neighboring galaxies.The main reason for leaving the SIT club is that although the club is supported by large mining companies, the school club basically only participates in on-site competitions for the safety of students, and rarely participates in cross-country and cross-country races. training in this area.In addition, because many speed crossing enthusiasts like those unmanned space crossings that are only marked on the interstellar chart, they have caused a large mortality rate (about 17.00%) in recent decades, so whether it is the school or the gold behind Most people are very resistant to this kind of outdoor activities.

Of course, there are also cost and funding issues: Usually, for schools and local enterprises, the level of funding for this kind of campus club can maintain on-site training and competitions, plus a lot of possible field training in the future. Commendable.After Shu Yehua left the school club when he graduated from university, he hadn't run any races for almost two years.It is said that during this period of time, she drove her "ancestral" multi-functional integrated truck repair station, wandering around the entire Solpasia mining area and big cities, using her professional skills and this kind of caring "homecoming" "gateway" service to accumulate the funds needed later.It was also during this period of time when she was almost a "repair trader", she was known to most people on Solpasia.

In the past few years or so, she has met several friends who are also very enthusiastic about flying cars and have similar economic levels.Shu Yehua and her friends from neighboring galaxies formed the "Element" speeding car club. The representative speeding cars of their five founders (each with more than one car) are "Burning Blood Blade", "Ruthless Skate", "Eclipse Bone Madness", "Following Locust", and "Sharpening Spear".The other four friends, when Shu Yehua was trapped alone in Solpasia, they all worked hard for her on the planet they were in, hoping that the star area government could give Shu Yehua the help they could.

The five people have very different personalities and often quarrel over some things tens or even hundreds of light-years apart, but their common hobbies and ideals keep them together.The five people have a common ideal, which is to visit the hometown of human beings one day and do the longest speed crossing on the earth, starting from the Cape of Good Hope at the southernmost tip of Africa to the west coast of the Bering Strait at the easternmost tip of Asia.

Shu Yehua's flying car was named "Burning Blood Blade" by herself.From a literal meaning, this name should be very suitable for a character like Shu Yehua who is passionate about the fire element or has a fire attribute.Therefore, the biggest advantage of her character should be full of passion, high execution ability, and daring to do.Corresponding to such advantages, Shu Yehua's personality also has flaws: Although long-term professional training, literacy in mechanical repair and higher education have given her the habit of planning everything before doing things, but when she can make herself excited In front of the matter, there will still be some improper consideration.High executive ability has made Shu Yehua's self-confidence develop into a certain degree of conceit, and her overconfidence in herself and sometimes ignorance of other people's opinions and objective conditions of the environment may cause her to encounter setbacks on this issue.

Around her 29th birthday, she decided to cross Sol Pasia. Before that, almost all her crossing and cross-country activities had no major problems.Although the news and the teachings of her predecessors let her know that there are various tragedies ahead, but facing the opportunity to make herself the top of the human record, Shu Yehua's overconfidence finally made her single without a star.

Likes spicy food, hates sweet food, eats very simple, and takes satiation and nutrition as the first principle.In addition to studying the driving skills, mechanical knowledge and field survival skills of flying cars through books, film and television records, news and self-experimental transformation, I don’t have many other hobbies.

Shu Yehua, who lived in a bungalow in a repair shop for a long time since she was a child, and later in a low three-story dormitory building in college, has always wanted to try living in a higher building where she alone occupies the entire floor or even the entire building. A place where you can look at the distant horizon.When a speeding party like her is driving, it is basically 3 to 2 meters above the ground. Even in places where there are no buildings and hills to cover it, it can only look at the horizon.Looking at the horizon from an aircraft can only be a brief and noisy experience, which is quite different from looking at the horizon from a tall building.

As an atheist, my trust in science is almost superstitious, but I can still maintain an objective attitude towards things.Of course, she knows that this "nearly superstitious" attachment to science is also based on the fact that science itself can answer most of the questions around people, and the way these answers can also be questioned, overthrown, and some new ideas can be accepted frankly. theory put forward.

The greatest value in life is to realize one's own set goals, which is more or less inherited from her parents, because her parents can work hard for the dream of traveling the universe in their hearts, and save credit points for years.

Driven by the advantages and disadvantages described above, Shu Yehua was full of self-confidence before the crossing. After learning that the last spaceship had left, she was briefly lost, but soon began to plan her own survival and escape plan.Think about the plan through the knowledge you have accumulated, and quickly inspect and count the resources available to you in the surrounding areas in a short period of time, and at the same time ask for help from the supporters of the entire galaxy cluster.

Shu Yehua's ideal is to become a top off-road racing driver known throughout the human world, and then to have his own professional racing club and high-level vehicle modification factory.The realization of the first goal may be almost achievable based on Shu Yehua's current flying car level, but it only needs a reasonable opportunity, and at the same time, more people can know him in the process.

The second goal should be achieved after the first goal is achieved, at least her own reputation and professionalism in the speeding car industry are enough to support her own qualifications and reputation as a club promoter, but she understands that fame is only the first step here, Later, almost astronomical financial support will be needed.Shu Yehua has been in SIT's Speeding Club for six years. In these six years, in addition to improving her competitive level with the help of professional coaches and equipment, she also keeps an eye on the club's operations.She found that if it wasn't for the support of large interstellar mining companies, the club would be unsustainable only with the support of the university and a little symbolic funding from the local government.So since then, Shu Yehua has been thinking about how to operate his club in the future if he does not have such advantageous financial support.

The third goal: If the club is more spent on daily management, personnel and some activities, plus the cost of purchasing huge insurance for club members who have outdoor activities, then a professional repair and renovation factory may The credit points burned may be dozens or even hundreds of times that of the former.When planning his time travel before leaving Solpasia, Shu Yehua was also thinking about these future issues from time to time.

In recent years, under the background of the popularization of new communication technologies connecting the entire galaxy cluster, more people can share their daily experiences with people tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of light-years away.Relying on this, more and more people have gained fame and wealth through this means.However, there are billions or even tens of billions of people who share their lives and experiences through the interstellar network. How should he find an opportunity for more people to pay attention to and remember him? This is a question that Shu Yehua needs to think about seriously.

Since hearing the news that all the residents were planning to evacuate Solpasia one after another more than a year ago, Shu Yehua began to think about his plan in his mind.On the one hand, she can wait for the evacuation to come to an end, and conduct an operation on the almost deserted Thorpasia, no matter in terms of difficulty, professional level or distance, it can be regarded as the most popular among lovers of the entire galaxy cluster or ordinary people. A sensational backcountry ride.

At the same time, she knew that the overall transportation contractor for the later evacuation operations had a bad reputation in several nearby galaxies due to problems such as long-term delays and poor service attitudes. Naturally, Shu Yehua would use this factor to "cry" to the public that she might encounter misfortune.In this period, the outward development of human beings in the entire supercluster of galaxies is still in a very extroverted and radical period.On the one hand, it is due to the demand for living resources brought about by the population explosion, on the other hand, it is due to the nature of human beings’ desire for the unknown, and there are huge benefits and opportunities for making money that may exist in those undeveloped "outer" planets.These factors have all contributed to the formation of a culture that advocates adventure, adventurers, and pioneers in human society for hundreds of years.Shu Yehua believes that as long as more people know about his outdoor speeding activities, he will surely gain more people's support and recognition, and thus gain more space and opportunities in his future development and plans.

Shu Yehua hadn't experienced many major setbacks since she was a child. The unhappiness and problems she encountered were basically the ups and downs that ordinary people would experience in their ordinary lives.If there is any particularly sad moment, it is the farewell to Shu Yehua in Huangbaota City's planetary space station after her parents saved enough money to travel around the universe a few years ago.

Although her parents' travel plans that would cost most of their lives have been talked about endlessly since Shu Yehua was sensible, but when they really parted, the three of them were soaked in the sadness of themselves and the other two so that they couldn't speak.But sadness is sadness. When an adult understands the value he really needs to accomplish, even family affection can be temporarily put on hold.

There is an old adage: "The actor is taking a real risk when there is objective danger of uncertainty in the act; and the risk-taker is only acting when the risk is known to be infallible." .” This is the most tangled question for Shu Yehua when the entire Solpacia star is about to be evacuated.If she were to be abandoned by the last evacuation ships through their own faults under the well-known back-up conditions, with the billions, and even tens of billions of people paying attention throughout the galaxy cluster, several people would Observe every detail of her actions with a magnifying glass.If people discover that these are her intentional plans and she has a well-thought-out backup plan, no matter how difficult actions and decisions she has made during this "self-help" period, her credibility among the public in the future will be greatly weakened, and she will even be rejected. Criticize people who are trying to catch fame.

And if she is only fully prepared, let all kinds of extreme situations and objectively existing risks truly affect and impact her subsequent actions, even if some actions are not objectively difficult, but it is true. The authenticity of this will definitely win her the ideal future for her.However, in doing so, Shu Yehua would have to bear the most extreme consequences that these real risks and extreme situations might bring to her.

Was she really mentally prepared for such an ending?She knows that any so-called adequate psychological preparation involving life and death is a deception to herself, because as long as that state and moment have not really come, people cannot actually experience the helplessness when they are dying.Therefore, Shu Yehua decided to really put himself in a state where he was fully prepared, but faced with real risks, and at the same time, he had no actual backup plan.
