September 10, 2109.
It is the deadline for summarizing and reporting the list of equipment manufacturers that use the first-generation life evolution agent and the list of institutions that provide evolution agent medical services.
Based on a series of effective preparations in the early stage, the Stroll family registered and applied online and submitted a service implementation plan, which was not unexpectedly approved by the preliminary review.
Only by being on the list can you have the opportunity to become the first batch of life evolution agent service units. This is a prerequisite.
China has a large population, strong family financial resources, and huge market demand.
Every multinational group wants a piece of the pie, spending huge sums of money on supporting equipment projects, trying to make huge profits, and competition is naturally extremely fierce.
The Strauer family avoided equipment production projects and chose service areas where it was easier to successfully apply. Finally, the first step goal was achieved, proving that the investment direction was very correct.
In the interstellar era, only by seizing every opportunity to improve competitiveness can we remain invincible in the next step of integration.
The Strauer family did not cast a wide net to amass wealth. They mainly calculated the purchase and service of life evolution agents, which was an absolutely astronomical sum. Non-rich families simply could not afford the huge expenses.
As a result, the family has pinned its hopes on developed areas. A total of 10 wholly-owned or joint-stock medical institutions have been included in the reporting list, showing the profound heritage of the wealthy family.
On this day, the deadline came.
The General Administration of Earth and Stars has received nearly 2,000 plans one after another, and more than 90% of them have been confirmed and published on the official website of Earth, Stars and Sky.
The General Administration of Land and Stars believes that this is a preliminary plan anyway, and a formal license will be issued only after the trial production and trial operation are accepted, so it is up to everyone.
Those companies that are relatively short of capital, cobbled together, and want to fish in troubled waters are secretly happy.
In their view, qualifications represent wealth.
With this name, they can make full use of the resources at hand, and by joining forces, they can get a share of the pie.
This is great. Those consortiums that were originally strong but did not dare to try regretted it for a while.
Taking into account the existing technical level of Earth Star, the Hijin Empire Fleet specially dispatched a technical team of 100 people to participate, providing paid tutoring to organizations that are strong and determined to succeed.
The consultation price offered was ridiculously expensive.
Since the Earth Star Coin has not yet been announced, the only designated transaction is gold.
The gold commission of up to one ton not only scares away companies with poor financial resources, but also dumbfounds large companies that have no reserves for a while and can only turn to banks.
The banks cooperated tacitly to raise their own value, took the opportunity to put forward conditions, and exchanged gold for value-for-money shares.
In order to ensure success, even if the commission was expensive, the more than 100 extraterrestrial experts were quickly hired.
Those who moved slower could only stare.
After the Stroll family learned the news, they immediately mobilized the whole family and used various channels to raise funds, even selling a small gold mine in F state in exchange for a ton of gold.
An alien engineer was hired in time to provide technical guidance for a year.
After the small episode, the shortlisted companies have entered the substantive investment and construction stage.
The hour hand points to September 21, 2109.
Eastern part of Country M, afternoon.
A passenger plane of an international airline took off and returned from the airport in country M.
There are nearly 300 passengers on this flight, some of whom are tourists and some of whom are members of a tournament in country M. They will go to continent O to participate in sports competitions.
Two hours later, the plane passed over an uninhabited island in the Atlantic Ocean.
Soon there was a sudden failure, and the two right-hand engines showed an indication that the oil pressure was too low.
The crew immediately reported the situation to the ground base, decided to shut down the right engine, lower the sailing altitude, issued an emergency return application, and received permission to turn around and fly back.
However, within 30 minutes, for unknown reasons, bad luck struck again.
The two engines on the left also showed low oil pressure indicators and slowly failed and stopped.
During the process, the crew tried to restart the right engine. After a fluke, they found that they still could not get rid of the predicament of gradual shutdown.
The aircraft eventually lost cruise power completely and began a rapid descent.
The crew called for emergency help at two ground airports, searched for an emergency landing site on the sea, and guided passengers to quickly complete self-rescue escape preparations.
The passengers in the cabin had already felt the abnormal silence on both sides of the aircraft. After learning that the plane was in danger, they did not shout in panic, knowing that there was no point in doing something in vain.
Everyone, obey the command and prepare for emergency jumping into the sea according to the essentials.
Everyone, with ashen faces and desperate expressions, followed the flight attendant's instructions and made trembling and mechanical movements.
Everyone looked out the window at the boundless sea, listened to a few people crying softly, felt their bodies falling out of control, and understood that they could not fly out of this vast sea.
It's freezing cold at high places, and the waves are ruthlessly rolling.
Jumping into the sea from an altitude of more than 100 meters depends on whether your body can withstand it, whether your mind is clear, and whether rescue can be timely.
Only by passing the current test of life and death can we have a chance to wait for rescue, otherwise we will end up in silence at the bottom of the sea and buried in the belly of a fish.
Looking at the stiff smile of the flight attendant, some people even started to use black humor.
It means that being able to report to God together with the beautiful stewardess is the last glory of life.
The suffocating atmosphere was briefly relieved, and the passengers felt somewhat relieved in their pain...
In the cockpit of the aircraft, Captain Downer relied on his years of experience and the light of the setting sun to stare at a small island on the sea outside the window, hoping to find a place to land.
The plane descended very quickly. Tangner released the landing gear in advance and relied on his superb driving skills to forcefully turn the plane into a flight around the island.
The flight inertial force is plummeting, and the aircraft body is getting closer and closer to the ground.
The entire island is clearly visible. The ground is less than a hundred meters long and wide. It is composed entirely of protruding rocks interspersed with black soil and sporadic vegetation, making it unable to meet emergency landing conditions.
If you get too close, it's very likely that the machine will be destroyed and everyone will be killed.
If you jump into the sea to escape, a small number of passengers on board will survive.
By forcibly landing on the island, the risk of explosion increases exponentially. The result is either to save most of the people or to go to see God.
The plane was already less than a hundred meters above the ground, and a decision had to be made.
Tang Na took a deep breath and gave an instruction to the co-pilot to control the lift rod and fly as close to the island as possible.
He has accumulated a lot of sea-viewing experience from his previous naval experience. By distinguishing the color of the sea water, he can roughly judge the distribution of underwater reefs.
He will make every effort to make the final settlement point as close to the island as possible, while avoiding the worst outcome of being cut apart by underwater reefs or the body being crushed by excessive pressure.
His biggest hope is that the plane can crash down to the beach relatively smoothly and remain relatively intact, allowing more time for self-rescue or waiting for rescue.
Aim at the location and the body descends.
5 meters, 2 meters, 0 meters.
The machine body touches the water surface, undergoes shock after falling into the water, rushes forward for a certain distance and then begins to slowly descend.
Perhaps it was the prayers of the passengers that played a role. The chassis of the aircraft was relieved by the sea water and was supported by a cluster of coral reefs. It did not sink violently. After a little jump, it rushed towards the island.
The passengers in the cabin were thrown up and down by the huge reaction force, and they were already dizzy. Some people fainted from the impact.
The stewardess grabbed the fixed rod with both hands and shouted at the top of her lungs to instruct the passengers to deploy protection, and finally managed to survive.
After dozens of seconds, a suffocatingly long wait, with a muffled sound, the machine finally touched the ground.
Everyone immediately looked around and found that the porthole glass was not broken, that there was no water on the ground and walls, and that the reserve power was supplying oxygen. They finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A few people were slightly injured, and stewardesses rushed to treat them to stop the bleeding.
At this moment, the captain's voice came from the cockpit one by one.
"Dear passengers, on behalf of the crew, I deeply apologize for the unfortunate experience on this flight."
"Due to the emergency, there were inevitably errors in the operation. The aircraft failed to land on the beach as expected, but instead sank in 10 meters of water."
"Fortunately, the aircraft was not too deep out of the water, and the overall damage to the aircraft body was not serious. The power reserve system in the cabin can still support it for a while."
"The cabin is equipped with a small seawater separator and a small generator. Based on the minimum consumption estimate of stored food, it can last for at least 3 days. If there are food supplies in the checked baggage in the cargo hold, the duration will be longer and the probability of survival will be higher. big."
"The escape hatch door is half submerged in the water and it is difficult to open it for a while. The crew is discussing how to deal with it."
"Everyone knows the current situation, and waiting for rescue is our only option. But please rest assured that the situation has been sent in time, and I believe that relevant matters are being discussed on the ground."
"We escaped the initial crisis and the situation is now stable. You don't need to be too pessimistic. Please be patient and wait for rescue to come."
From the loudspeaker, the sound paused.
There was silence for a while, and then it came out again.
"If we can get support from the Earth and Star Administration, our hope of escaping will greatly increase. So what we have to do now is to save energy and physical strength as much as possible. Please cooperate with the crew. I believe we will return to our destination soon."
After that, the sound source is turned off. The whole cabin was quiet.
