Chapter 623: The Age of Sleep

Op Donder sat in the command bay of the sixth, his hands pressed tightly on the operation ball.

Thin arcs of electricity continued to glow between his palm and the orb.

In front of him was a simulated projection of a huge battleship.

Shaped like a quadriddle, the entire body of the six-ship is composed of four main parts.

Three combat side compartments were located in three directions on the outer side, as well as the compartment in the middle part.

All four components are symmetrical tapered octahedral structures.

The total length of the three side cabins is 12 km, and the length of the main deck is 16 km.

The three side cabins surround the main cabin in an equilateral triangle and are connected to each other by rigid corridors.

The No. 6 ship has a fully loaded crew of 20,000 people, 3,000 people in each of the three side compartments, and more than 10,000 personnel in the more functional main compartment.

The main combat parts of the No. 6 ship are of five major types.

First, the blasting device represented by the fragmentation bomb.

Second, the super giant cannon represented by the median real energy beam cannon that can shake the law of triple space.

Third, a huge number of finger-sized fully intelligent micro combat robots. These robots have developed the microstructure to the extreme, with a very small size of both curvature flight ability and reflex flight ability, and at the same time, they can use the self-priming particulate absorption module to maintain a speed infinitely close to the speed of light after a long period of medium jet acceleration, and can also quickly transform the shell into a black hole-like substance when approaching the enemy, and cause damage to the enemy through seemingly ordinary but actually powerful impacts.

This kind of collision is not a simple physical contact, but also quickly changes the mode according to the characteristics of the opponent's shield and material during the process, and releases a variety of interference ripples of different real energy levels. This inexpensive and extremely difficult to resist micro combat unit has gradually replaced the old smart space fighters.

Fourth, a small amount of all-around armor controlled by pilots, armored pilots, and warriors.

Fifth, a multi-functional shield that can cope with different means of attack of the enemy, as well as a comprehensive defense system with absolutely rigid composite armor.

During the more than 80 years of sailing, the Nameless Fleet has never stopped technological innovation.

Compared with when they first set off, the combat effectiveness of warships today is no longer what it used to be.

Every technological revolution of the Outer Empire is synchronized into the fleet and transformed into new means.

This means includes not only military offensive and defensive equipment, but also the transformation of the human body itself and the use of various new drugs that stimulate potential.

Of course, the human body itself is a very delicate instrument, and rashly stimulating a large amount of potential is equivalent to overloading and overloading mechanical equipment, which is easy to leave some sequelae.

It's like the doping used by athletes 800 years ago, and generally follows the basic rule that the greater the benefit, the greater the cost.

The physical sequelae are easy to solve, but the sequelae in the brain are really a big problem.

But no matter how big the price is, it can't be worth dying on the battlefield.

Moreover, when the human army is on the space battlefield, many times it does not plan to go back, so the side effects do not matter.

Different classes have different types of flasks.

For example, gunners who are responsible for controlling giant cannons in the fleet need to take a comprehensive potion that improves the ability to predict the intuition of a large area of the battlefield.

Armored pilots who need to control their armor to rush out will need to take comprehensive potions that enhance their logical ability, instantaneous reaction ability, and mental stability.

In addition, each combination agent is divided into different grades according to the strength of the potency.

At this time, Op Tangde had already injected the third bottle of A-class pilot comprehensive potion and continued to work for a total of seventy-two hours.

He has his own style of fighting.

He has incorporated more than 90% of the miniature combat robots in the entire warship into his combat procedures, and he has also set relatively wide preset operating procedures for multiple working groups such as the bomb delivery team and the giant artillery team.

Op treats the entire Six-Ship as if it were a giant piece of armor.

He as a top pilot? It is the entire battleship that is in control.

This puts him in a huge workload? There was also some controversy, but Op thinks he has a clear conscience? Your own hard work and ability deserve the job.

Entered the last preset command? At the same time, the effect of the drug has just passed, but Op did not faint? Instead, he slid back into his chair and into the medical chamber, which was already on standby.

A wide variety of medical devices start on their own? Meantime? He again began to observe the comprehensive information of the battleship.

"The flare system is running well, and after the latest equipment adjustment, the flare power has been increased by 23.77% on the basis of the original design parameters."

This flare system is the chaotic quantum signal transmitter released by the No. 6 ship in order to deliberately expose its whereabouts.

"Twenty seconds ago? Complete information exchange and communication with ships 1 and 2. Now the distance between us and the first ship is 1.63 billion kilometers. The second ship briefly turned on the curvature movement? The distance with us is 17.9 billion kilometers. ”

"Enemy warships have already appeared in front of the No. 2 ship, and the military strength comparison index is 0.8."

"According to the information sent back by the curvature space probe ahead, a large number of enemy ships have appeared eight light-years away in front of our ship. It is expected to engage the enemy in six days. The ratio of military strength between us and the enemy is 9:1. ”

Op rolled his eyes and muttered to himself, "You really look up to me." What I give to someone else is 0.8, and what I give is 9 to 1. It's poisonous! ”

Surely you can't beat it? However, Opple scolded and scolded, and he didn't panic in his heart.

Six days have passed by the time the enemy is actually engaged? The large force of the fleet should have just left the enemy's monitoring area, and it can be safely and boldly withdrawn.

Ship Six is the most maneuverable high-speed warship of the three torch ships? And he, who is not a peak soldier, but is infinitely close, is a top pilot who is the captain of the ship and controls the overall situation? And another veteran pinnacle fighter in the cutting edge? If you want to escape? The chances of escaping are not small.

The last comprehensive message reads: "It has been seventy-six hours and thirty-three minutes since our departure, and we have not received any message from our fleet. ”

Op nodded.

At times like these, no news is the best news.

It's not that Op doesn't care if Tong Ling's freezing experiment is successful, but now his mission is to cover the safe exit of the main fleet.

If you can escape, wait for the integration package from the Empire.

After being busy for seventy-two hours in a row, he was a little sleepy, and was about to close his eyes, when the person in charge of the intelligence side of the No. 6 ship suddenly received a message, "Captain, bad news." ”

"Say."

"The Compound Eye Slave fleet in front of us is divided into a third of its forces, about seven thousand fast reconnaissance ships, and it is scattered in the rest of the directions. Six hundred and twenty-one of them were scanned in just the expected direction of our fleet, and there was a risk of exposure. ”

Op sat up straight, sweating coldly.

Although the Nameless Fleet had cut off contact with the No. 6 ship at this time, before setting off, Aopu and the others had verified with Qin Guang the general direction of the Nameless Fleet's next march to avoid unexpected situations.

Op pondered for about two seconds, his long arm almost scratching his scalp.

He turned his head to look at the adjutants in front of him who were waiting for him to make a decision, as well as at the pinnacle warrior.

Op slowly stood up, and first whispered: "Transfer all the databases and raw materials related to cryonics experiments to the tinder chamber where the embryos are carried." By the way, the most advanced real-energy material synthesizer has also been brought up. Ten elite warriors were arranged to pilot the Tinder Module to break away from the No. 6 ship and head to the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster at full speed. ”

"Yes!"

Op looked around again, grinning, as if laughing at himself, "Damn, the ghost thought that it had only been a few days, and I would have to break my word." Everyone, enter the curvature flight state in advance, and start the short-range fold jump intermittently! Go straight to the center of the forward interceptor fleet! We must engage the enemy fleet in three days! And to beat the other party to the point that the other party must retract those one-third of the eyes! All the construction machinery with the ability to deploy the real energy cloud will be dispatched to the battlefield three hours before us and the enemy ships, and a battlefield environment with a diameter of more than 7 billion kilometers will be laid out for me! ”

"Yes!"

A series of orders were given, and when everyone had dispersed, Op put his hand in his trouser pocket and took out two things.

One was a pitch-black medicine bottle containing a prohibition-grade comprehensive potion.

The other, however, is an old-fashioned printed photo.

In the photo, Tong Ling is in the center, and Gao Xiaoqi and him are standing on Tong Ling's left and right. Beside the three of them, there are also holographic projections of white elephants, Sun Tongwen, mountain centipedes and others.

There are seven people in the front row, and behind these seven people, there are holographic projections of hundreds of people.

This is a group photo of all the people who have joined Tong Ling's team in the past few decades across time and space.

Some are still alive, most have died.

Op nose is slightly sour, take a deep breath.

"It's finally my turn."

After more than ten minutes, the adjutant replied, "Captain, the personnel of the tinder cabin have been selected and are about to depart, do you want to say something to them?" ”

Op shook his head, "You can help me tell them." Let's just say that I promised someone that humanity would spread out in the Perseus-Pisces supercluster and live forever. I don't want to be untrustworthy. Go ahead. ”

……

Three days and six hours later.

In the cosmic void more than 4,000 light-years above the ecliptic surface of the Milky Way, a brilliant explosion of shattering bombs flickered briefly, illuminating the endless starry sky.

……

Four days later, as Tong Ling's condition was completely stabilized, the last step of the cryonics experiment, cryoresurrection, was opened in an orderly manner.

Ten days later, after recovery, Tong Ling once again piloted the T100 to complete the peak operation drill that belonged only to her.

The 150 million men in the Nameless Fleet fell into ecstasy at the same time.

This shows that cryonics technology has completely entered reality from theory.

Tong Ling's personality has changed and she has become more reticent.

After waking up, she continued to hone her fighting skills day after day, year after year, while quietly waiting for the more reliable new cryotechnology to mature.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and Emerson Corbert and many scientists in the huge empire have worked together to finally digest and absorb the huge reference data produced by the first successful cryonics with Tong Ling as a sample, comprehensively improving this cross-era technology and solving many shortcomings in it.

If you want to accept freezing, you must first be the best of the human race, at least one of the best in a certain field.

Then, it is necessary to go through rigorous intuitive training, and constantly move the personal thinking pattern to Tong Ling, becoming an unintentional person.

An individual's intuitive thinking will be divided into several categories according to each person's situation, including combat intuition, battlefield intuition, strategic intuition, scientific intuition, logical intuition and other aspects.

In this way, although top scientists, military strategists, politicians, businessmen, writers, and philosophers do not have the same super physique as Tong Ling, they also have a considerable chance of successfully freezing.

The Nameless Fleet is a little more troublesome.

After all, this is a lone army that has been diving in the curvature space all year round, and it is very scarce in special materials, so it has been delayed for nearly six years before finally waiting for the real material synthesizer to advance again, and then it can synthesize a new type of freezer that is at the same level as the imperial headquarters, which can avoid the stepwise advancement in the cooling process and avoid causing severe pain to the operator.

In 2820, Tong Ling, who was 147 years old at the time, really fell into a deep sleep.

Before her, nearly 80,000 people in the entire empire had been qualified through the review of the main brain stars, and they had fallen into a deep sleep one after another.

This number of places will continue to expand.

This represents that mankind has entered the space age from the information age of the 21st century, and then entered the current dormant age.

However, from the perspective of the whole civilization, as long as there is a choice, the vast majority of people want to see the world in a thousand years, but it is impossible to satisfy everyone's wishes.

The essence of cryonics is the optimal allocation of resources, in order to avoid waste of resources.

If you really want to comply with everyone's wishes, whoever wants to freeze will freeze, and all the top talents will fall asleep, which will lead to intermittent stagnation in the process of civilization, and there will be a situation where the future is not grasped and now is lost.

Therefore, the selection rules for the stars are very strict.

The highest priority sequences are those top scientists who need to wait for the results of long experiments.

The second is some top talents from all walks of life who have shown amazing talent in a certain field, but the preconditions for this part of the related technology have not yet been completed.

Then there are some expeditionary personnel who carry the tinder capsule to distant space in advance.

In the assessment process, Fanxing will not only analyze the life trajectory of the recipient, but also conduct a large number of simulations and deductions for future development with the core framework of spatiotemporal topology.

Outside the big things aside, the Nameless Fleet is facing a severe test inside.

Since the Nameless Fleet is easily unable to connect to the backbone network, it is difficult to get the help of the almost omniscient and all-powerful mastermind Fanxing, and it is impossible to conduct an indisputable all-round assessment, so the selection work here has to be decided by someone.

Qin Guang set up a comprehensive evaluation team composed of nearly 10,000 scholars, and it took nearly three years to screen out the first batch of frozen lists of 200,000 people.

Qin Guang didn't dare to be careless, and after the final list was determined, he personally reviewed and implemented it one after another.

He had no objection to most of the names on the list, but when he saw his name and evaluation, he hesitated.

"Qin Guang, 164 years old, commander-in-chief of the fleet, admiral. He has extremely high military qualities and a keen sense of war, and his comprehensive ability can be included in the list of the top 10 famous generals since the beginning of the 21 st century. After all-round research and rigorous discussion, the evaluation team unanimously concluded that Admiral Qin Guang would definitely shine in the final battle. At present, the fleet has entered a stable diving period, and General Qin Guang can give priority to using cryonics technology to prolong his life in his spare time, and wake up if necessary, which is consistent with the situation of Chief Instructor Tong Ling. ”

Qin Guang stretched out his finger and silently crossed out his name.

Someone else can sleep, he can't.

Because he is the commander and the supreme leader, he must endure the greatest loneliness and shoulder the heaviest mission.

He is the soul of the fleet.

He had to stay awake at all times until the end of his life.
