Chapter 426: The Injured Covenant
You know, Liu Xiu still remembered those three years vividly before he traveled through time!
However, although Liu Xiu possessed Gestalt consciousness, he had absolute power, so it was completely possible for him to order a complete ban on biological or pathogen experiments.

However, biology is a double-edged sword. If used properly, it can benefit the human beings on Blue Planet. But if used improperly, it will lead to endless troubles and may even lead to the extinction of the human beings wandering on Blue Planet.

But no matter what, it should not be banned directly. After all, the Wandering Blue Star is not the only intelligent civilization in this universe. This is just like in the planetary era, there was more than one country on the Blue Star.

Therefore, even if Liu Xiu directly used the power of Gestalt consciousness to make all humans on the Wandering Blue Planet subconsciously avoid biological issues, it still could not change the fact that other civilizations were researching biochemical viruses and biological weapons.

Therefore, if Liu Xiu ordered a direct ban, it would be tantamount to being a coward, and by then it would not be long before the biotechnology on the Wandering Blue Planet would become very weak.

Such a flawed civilization is very easy to be targeted. Liu Xiu does not want the Wandering Blue Star civilization to become like this. In Liu Xiu's view, a powerful civilization should be a hexagonal warrior, which should not only have excellent biotechnology, but also excellent mechanical technology, intelligent electronic technology and so on!
This is also why after the Moss Rebellion, although Liu Xiu ordered a ban on the large-scale use of artificial intelligence in warfare and production manufacturing, he did not ban the research on artificial intelligence.

Now, facing even more terrifying biological weapons, Liu Xiu only banned biochemical experiments on the wandering blue planet, but allowed the use of unmanned operation mode to conduct biochemical experiments on unmanned spacecraft.

Time passed quickly. The Wandering Blue Star spent two years in curvature navigation. In the blink of an eye, it was the year 2104. At this time, the Wandering Blue Star had withdrawn from the curvature navigation.

It exited the curvature navigation mode when it was more than a thousand astronomical units away from the outer star system where Paradise, the home planet of the Engineer civilization, was located.

There is no way, it's still the same. The reason why I dare not get too close is naturally because I am afraid that if I get too close, I will be captured by the gravity of the star, and then a lot of rocks will be wasted. After all, the rocks burned to start the galaxy engine are all from the blue planet!
Another reason is naturally the fear of the Engineer Civilization on Paradise. If they get too close and the Engineer Civilization launches an attack, they will not be able to escape from the Wandering Blue Planet. However, at such a long distance, they can activate the curvature engine at any time and leave at superluminal speed.

However, just when the Wandering Blue Star stopped in the Paradise Star System, a spaceship named Covenant had already entered the interior of the star system and stopped relatively close to the Paradise Star to absorb solar energy!

As Liu Xiu continued his exploration, he naturally discovered something more interesting, that is, the Covenant was actually a very advanced immigration spaceship. The sail that the Covenant had opened at this time was a photovoltaic power generation sail with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of over 95%. This thing was not only ultra-thin and ultra-light, but more importantly, it was very useful when combined with superconducting energy storage.

You just need to stop during the journey and then unfold the solar sail to collect all the energy in a short time. However, this thing also has a disadvantage, that is, it is very afraid of solar storms. The solar sail of the Covenant has not been unfolded for long!
We encountered a stellar storm caused by a star explosion, which is of course also called a solar storm.

Under the impact of the high-speed plasma flow, the entire Covenant suffered, and the violent shaking also caused damage to the hibernation chamber area of ​​the entire Covenant.

In particular, the electrons carried by the stellar storm interfered with the normal operation of several hibernation chambers. For example, the captain of the Covenant spacecraft's hibernation chamber had its oxygen electronic valve damaged, and the electronic lock could not be opened, so the excessive oxygen concentration plus the electronic short circuit caused tiny sparks.

So now it's all right. The originally sturdy hibernation chamber has become a cremation box. The other team members on the Covenant spacecraft can't rescue it even if they want to, because they can't open such a sturdy hibernation chamber in a short time.

Then all the team members, especially the wife of the captain of the Covenant, Daniels, who had just woken up, could only watch her husband being burned to death. Of course, Liu Xiu saw all this, so he immediately gave up such a stupid idea, as he originally thought that the solar sail of the Covenant spacecraft was a good design.

It is safer to follow the conventional method, which is to use a fusion reactor and extract hydrogen from the gaseous planet.

Although this seems a bit troublesome, if some star systems do not have gas planets, they will not be replenished and will cause a series of problems.

But it is better than what happened with the Covenant. After all, this time the Covenant spacecraft lost more than just a captain!

There are still forty or so sleeping colonists. You should know that the two thousand colonists this time are experts in various fields. They are going to a new planet to build a new home.

Of course, the most critical thing is that the stellar storm impacting the solar sail caused the spacecraft to shake, which not only caused the loss of dozens of crew members, but more importantly, reduced the integrity and stability of the entire spacecraft to 83%. In addition, many secondary systems were offline.

The most important thing is that the solar sail needs to be manually taken out of the warehouse for repair before it can be used. The Covenant spacecraft is different from the Prometheus spacecraft that David took to the planet LV226 more than ten years ago.

You have to know that Peter Weyland is the director of a company with a market value of over one trillion dollars. Therefore, after Peter Weyland gave up most of his interests, his spaceship would naturally be much better than the contract.

Of course, what is more important is that the Covenant is an immigration spacecraft that needs to cross extremely long distances for interstellar migration. In addition to the sixteen crew members on board, there are also two thousand meters of dormant immigrants and more than a thousand embryos. Therefore, the scale of the spacecraft is naturally not comparable to that of Prometheus.

At the same time, the Covenant spacecraft also carries a lot of equipment and supplies, which are naturally the necessary tools needed to build a new home on the new planet.

After her grief, the captain's wife Daniels gathered herself together and began to check the vehicles loaded on the spacecraft with the ship's bionic robot Walter to see if the shaking had loosened the vehicles fixed on the spacecraft.

Therefore, after considering many aspects, the natural choice was to use solar sails, a recyclable method to collect energy. However, the idea is good, but the reality is cruel. Stellar storms and stellar flares cannot be predicted at all, so this also led to the Covenant spacecraft having no way to avoid them.

Of course, all of this was discovered by Liu Xiu using the enemy and friend map. After all, the Wandering Blue Star is now more than a thousand astronomical units away from the star system where the Paradise Star is located!

Fortunately, the speed of the new generation of unmanned exploration spacecraft will be greatly improved after the revision, so even if the distance is one thousand astronomical units, it will not take a month to reach like last time.
