Chapter 143 Death List
Gu Wei's messy expression did not make the dinner party awkward.

Quite the opposite.

His reaction was like pressing a switch, and everyone at the table started talking.

"Captain."

Li Zi picked up a drink and took a sip. He praised his own cooking skills and turned to look at Milo: "The latest list of dead lovers has been updated. Have you seen it?"

Death list?

hear the word.

Gu Wei, who was dealing with the kidney, couldn't help but blink and pricked up his gossipy little ears.

"Yeah, I saw it," Milo bit a piece of steak viciously, and a little bit of fragrant juice flowed down the corner of his mouth: "The odds of our ship have dropped again this time. The guy next door, those thieves who made the list are really sensitive!"

"There's nothing we can do about it." Compared to Milo's indignation, Jin just shrugged his shoulders: "After all, they make a living from this, and those people are backed by a big consortium. Can you bite them even if you are unhappy with them?"

Milo squinted at her and said, "Which side are you on?"

"Logically," Jin said calmly, with an expression that didn't change. "Of course, the main reason is that you're the only one who's embarrassed to be on the list. I'm happy to watch the show."

Milo: “.”

"Um, Captain," seeing Milo was choked and speechless, Gu Wei raised his hand at the right time: "By the way, what is the Death List? What are the odds?"

"."

Gu Wei's question just relieved Milo's embarrassment. He quickly gave Gu Wei a well-done look and explained:
"The Death List is actually an abbreviation - didn't I tell you before that our line of work is very risky. You can't be sure that we will be wiped out in some corner at any time. Among those who have been working outside for many years, very few can retire smoothly."

"In order to directly reflect the risks and guide the entire industry to standardize, the Star Alliance compiled and recorded all the exploration teams that were identified as wiped out, and established a data list called the Star Sea Ending Database, which is commonly known as the Death List."

Milo paused and continued, "In fact, the establishment of the Death List or the Star Sea End Library is quite meaningful. After all, many small transparent fleets die silently, and leaving a beacon that is occasionally clicked by people is somewhat of a comfort."

"But the problem is that in addition to the government, there are also a lot of profiteers in the Star Sea. These people have no morals at all."

"For example, a few disgusting consortiums set up a gambling website, listed a bunch of candidate fleets that might be on the death list based on risk, and set dynamic odds based on the fleet's situation, and changed the odds at the slightest sign of trouble."

Gu Wei understood this time.

As for gambling, similar situations are also very common on Earth.

I won’t talk about sports events, some foreign platforms also offer some weird events:

For example, when a certain golden retriever and Haha sister were competing across the sea, a website was launched, and there was a similar situation before the TGA selection.

A hot topic recently should be the 2026 Fields Medal.
After Chinese female mathematician Wang Hong proved the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture not long ago, her odds of winning the prize immediately jumped to first place.

If the paper can pass the review, she will most likely become the first Chinese mathematician to win the Fields Medal - this is much more powerful than Jiang Sheng.

Then Gu Wei glanced at Milo and asked curiously, "Captain, where is our ship ranked now? What are the odds?"

Milo sighed, pressed the crew bracelet, opened a light curtain and turned it towards Gu Wei: "79th, as for the odds, you can decide for yourself."

Gu Wei, who hadn’t looked at the list yet, said: “????”

Take less?

79 people???

How the hell can this kind of list make it to the top 80???

Then Gu Wei leaned his head forward and quickly saw the entire "Candidate List".

The top five categories of the candidate list are [Ranking/Exploration Team/Captain/Galaxy/Odds], some of which have relevant annotations.

For example, the Captain column has a relatively detailed explanation, including the division of spacecraft ownership and so on - after all, some spacecraft may be purchased by a group of people pooling their money, and specific judgments require interpretation of relevant laws and regulations.

The notes for the galaxy are based on the location of the most recent commercial planet login, and the actual location may have errors, etc.
The odds include 100 days, 300 days, and 500 days, with a maximum of two and a half years.

And under the name.

The candidate with the greatest chance of death:
1. I will come back to marry you when I make enough money, Alaerbeni, Banco Black Hole, odds within 0.002 days 0.001, 0.0000001 days , and a half years
2. Singing the Remnant, Sun Yusheng, Exploring the S76 Node in the Outer Domain, odds of 0.07 in 0.04 days, odds of 0.000009 in days, odds of in years
3. The fox who loves to drink milk, Shen Xiaoyue, Starting Point Galaxy, 0.09-day odds
The immortals are as numerous as hemp.JPG.

Then Gu Wei quickly scrolled down and finally found the Flush Flush number at the 79th position:
79. Flutter, Milo, Blue Bridge Galaxy.

The odds of a team wiped out within 100 days are 3.5 to 1, 1.2 to 1 within 300 days, and 0.4 to 1 within 500 days.
Gu Wei: “.”

how to say
After watching the masters before him, he suddenly felt that the odds were quite high?

After a while.

Gu Wei slowly raised his head and asked Milo, "Captain, how is this list arranged? Logically speaking, shouldn't the rookies be at greater risk?"

"Rookie? That may not be the case." After hearing Gu Wei's question, Jin took over the conversation before Milo opened his mouth:
"Don't forget, those rookies usually only do transportation within the known domain in their first few years. They don't make much money but it's relatively safe. As long as they don't encounter large-scale celestial disasters or alien life forms, basically nothing will go wrong."

"Generally speaking, the fleets that make the list are basically those that are qualified to enter the Exploration Domain. The fleets that enter the Exploration Domain for the first time will be ranked higher, such as Qiao Kewen."

Gu Wei was stunned again.

right
According to the information he had learned before.

Within the exploration team's system framework, all fleets are divided into only three levels: elementary, intermediate and advanced.

Among them, junior teams can only act outside the exploration domain, while intermediate and above teams can try to apply to enter the exploration domain, but their application may be rejected if the risk assessment is insufficient.

Generally speaking.

It normally takes about ten years for a junior team to be promoted to mid-level.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything.

For example, Jokoven's Burning Crusade was upgraded to an intermediate exploration team within five years, and also tried to apply for exploration domain qualifications once.

If the Star Alliance's assessment had not been unsatisfactory, Jokovin's fleet might have briefly been at the top of the list.

"By the way, Captain," Gu Wei thought of something when Jin mentioned Qiao Kewen: "Does Qiao Kewen's situation count as a total annihilation? - I remember that all the crew members on the ship had been devoured by the Eraser."

"If he hadn't met us, it would have been fine." Milo glanced at the direction of the warehouse and sighed, "Fortunately, he handed over the Tongliao spacecraft to us. As long as we can successfully send the spacecraft back to Qiao Kewen's home planet, the vortex access agreement can be activated on the spot and the ownership change of the fleet can be completed." "In this way, although the original crew members are gone, the beacon can at least be passed on - but it will probably be difficult for the new captain to get started."

Gu Wei then nodded thoughtfully.

It's good to pass it on.
Then he blinked again and brought his attention back to reality: "Captain, even if those rookies won't make the list, isn't our spaceship's ranking a little high?"

"."

As soon as Gu Wei said this.

The atmosphere at the table suddenly became a little subtle.

Swah——

Almost everyone, including Nono, fixed their eyes on Milo.

Milo's face also looked a little embarrassed.

After a long while, the owner of the Flutter Flutter coughed lightly: "Ahem, this matter is not very complicated. It is mainly related to the long-term goal of our spacecraft."

Gu Wei blinked: "Target? Oh, Captain, do you mean to find the first generation of civilization?"

“That’s right,” Milo sighed and explained, “The universe we live in is extremely vast. The territories of the three top civilizations don’t overlap much, let alone the extremely short-lived civilization of the first generation.”

"Also, the first civilization and the universe were born at the same time. Even if something survived from that ancient time, it must have been in an extremely special and primitive environment."

"Once the above two factors overlap, it means that the place our fleet is heading to is not only far away from the known area, but also far more dangerous than other areas."

Gu Wei thought about it and agreed.

According to Gu Wei's astrophysical research results before he traveled through time.

If the early cosmic environment could remain the same until now, then that area must be full of dangers.

The simplest is vacuum decay.

Such an area must be in a metastable state of pseudo-vacuum, and electromagnetic signals from human detectors or material contact may cause vacuum collapse.

It is like a huge rock resting on the edge of a cliff in an absolutely balanced state. If you blow on it lightly, it may roll down and cause a high-intensity landslide.

At that time, the phase change boundary is likely to expand at the speed of light, and the basic particle structure of all matter wherever it passes will be instantly reorganized, and the form of matter existence will be completely erased.

Actually.

Before Gu Wei traveled through time, there was a theory in the universities in Northern Europe that some celestial phenomena were actually caused by phase changes triggered by "accidental touch" of other civilizations.

Of course.

This theory is relatively unreliable. After all, it was quite difficult for Gu Wei to find an environment of the early universe when he traveled through time - this thing may not exist, but it should be very far away from the area where life was born.

Except for vacuum decay.

Dark matter halos, topological defects and information loss are also anomalies with high probability.

At the level of Xinghai civilization, that kind of place may even involve polarized rift energy.
Therefore, it seems normal for the fleet that travels in such places all year round to have higher odds?

"cut"

However, just when Gu Wei was about to be convinced by Milo, Jin mercilessly exposed his lie: "There are at least 8,000 teams that have been searching for the first-generation civilization in the starry sea all year round, not to mention those gold diggers who are trying their luck. There are also many exploration teams supported by the six major or other financial groups. They don't have to go out for a few months like us and come back to run logistics to save money."

"As for the risk of accidents, shouldn't their probability be higher than ours?"

Gu Wei was stunned again.

What Jin said seems to make some sense.
According to Milo's previous description.

Before receiving the reward of alien life, the Puleng Puleng was a very poor ship. Even the crew's labor insurance had to be paid in installments based on the number of fingers, and they had to spend at least half of each year in the known domain to save money.

In this situation.

No matter how dangerous the places they go to are, their frequency should not be comparable to those fleets with backstage sponsorship.

Therefore, there must be other factors that enable the Fuleng Fuleng to "outperform" its peers.

So Gu Wei quickly turned his gaze to Jin.

"It's not a secret, you'll know it sooner or later if you stay on the ship," Jin said, not hiding anything. After a moment's silence, he explained, "Do you remember that Milo and his companions could only control the 'Haize' mecha to fight on the planet Kedas?"

Qaddas?

Gu Wei nodded vigorously without much hesitation.

How could he have forgotten this?
Although strictly speaking, Gu Wei has never seen what the planet Kedas looks like, that planet is indeed the first stop Gu Wei arrived at after traveling through the sea of stars.

Later, Milo and his companions were sniped by RGB alien Shandon while escaping. In the desperate situation, they were able to escape only because of Gu Wei's passion.
As for the mechas in the sniper battle, Gu Wei naturally remembered it clearly: "If I remember correctly, it seems that the captain's main battle mecha was seriously damaged at the time, so they could only use the mid-level mechas to fight?"

Now Gu Wei is no longer the ignorant newbie when he first arrived at Xinghai. After playing the mecha training game for so long, he has a lot of new understandings about the mecha industry:
Almost all of the top mechas in the starry sky are modified or independently designed products, that is, the super-level mechas in the four major gears.

The lower, middle and upper gears are mostly used for routine tasks. For example, Gu Wei encountered several high-level mechas in the thousand-point bureau of the game - this was certainly due to the high quality of the civil war, but it also proved that high-level mechas were not rare goods.

It was just like League of Legends before Gu Wei traveled through time and had not changed his level. Level 30 was just the end of the level, and in terms of the game, it was just the beginning of the novice area.

During the breakout battle on the planet Kedas, Milo and his men could only use three Heizers.
Now it seems.

At that time, Milo and his friends were in a more desperate situation than Gu Wei had initially understood.

Think of this.

A word that Jin had mentioned once suddenly popped up in Gu Wei's mind.

He blinked rapidly, looked at Jin thoughtfully, and asked:

"Jin, could it be that the cause of the current situation is related to that [Voyage that Risks Career]?"
