What a modest request.

Everyone who had just stepped aboard the Hope spacecraft couldn't help twitching at the corners of their mouths.

They had to remember, this wasn't a map from a Battle Royale Game. It was a real, complex structure with multiple levels.

Every space served a different purpose, so memorizing the entire layout was going to be a huge test of their memory.

Ten years ago, when space technology was still relatively underdeveloped,

it had taken human-crewed spacecraft only about 180 days to travel from Blue Star to Mars.

Those 180 days included the most perilous stages: launching from the ground into space atop a Space Rocket, then using Blue Star's gravity to accelerate before finally heading for Mars.

Of course, to save energy, humanity had always chosen to launch Mars probes or crewed spacecraft when Mars was at its closest point to Blue Star.

That both conserved energy and greatly shortened the spacecraft's journey.

Although this wasn't when Mars and Blue Star were closest in their orbits, the Hope had also skipped the process of leaving Blue Star and gradually accelerating with its help.

After leaving the Transfer Station on the moon, the Hope could fire its engines at full power within a safe distance and reach its cruising speed in the shortest possible time.

Other people might not have known the Hope's capabilities, but these candidates were its pilots. Knowing its performance figures was the bare minimum.

Even accounting for the Hope's acceleration and deceleration throughout the journey, it would take less than a month to get from the moon to Jupiter.

Memorizing the layout of the entire spacecraft in a month was a tall order.

Listening to Zero, none of Chen Yifeng's twenty fellow pilot candidates said a word of protest.

It was quite a
