Time flies, 20 years have passed since the departure of the Toth civilization, and the sea trials of all the large motherships are gradually coming to an end.

After a while, people will officially set off and bid farewell to this familiar star field, and various resource reserves are constantly moving upwards through the space elevator, and the warehouses of rare earths, nuclear fuel, organic matter, and conventional materials are all arranged.

In this case, both adults and children are looking forward to heading into the distance again, eager to make contact with other interstellar civilizations.

Just in the last year's Spring Festival, fireworks flickered, and bright little suns twinkled over the planet. Humanity has become rich enough to use a hydrogen bomb to set off fireworks...... And this kind of hydrogen bomb can show a variety of strange colors, everyone is very happy.

The party before departure is naturally very lively, with chorus, singer casino, and sketch comedy, which always makes people feel unsatisfied.

An unfinished party is a party with taste!

Next, a grand voting ceremony appeared on the planet, in fact, it was not a special event, mainly to choose the names of these six new generation giant motherships.

For this matter, the people burst out with high enthusiasm for voting!

One of the Titan-class giant motherships, capable of holding a population of 50 million, was named "Departure", which was named from the beginning and will not change. This name means a new journey after the new human civilization becomes a fourth-level civilization, and it also carries people's beautiful expectations for the future.

So the populace has the right to name the other 5 ships.

However, after the voting ended, a ridiculous thing happened, one of the names named "Pi Phi Shrimp" actually received the highest turnout!

The water that was spilled out of the words was spilled out, and the relevant personnel of the government department could only pinch their noses and agree, and one of the star-class motherships was named "Pi Phi Shrimp".

But soon, more people began to complain about the damn name, because they felt that it sounded too bad to live on the "Phi Phi Shrimp" for most of their lives! It's really ugly!

Some of them have even been relocated to the spaceship, and when they hear that their beloved home is named "Pippi Shrimp", they immediately blow up.

"The ship we live in, what's wrong with the rest of you! Why was our ship named the Phi Phi Shrimp! We absolutely disagree, resolutely disagree! ”

So they started to protest loudly again and voted to change the name...... The number of people who jointly changed their names reached a million hours in one day!

This time, the "voting accident" was also used as a negative teaching material, written in the newspaper, and its headline became - "Damn Democracy"!

All in all, after some twists and turns, all the names were decided, namely the "Departure" Star Titan-class spaceship......

As well as 5 starship-class spaceships such as "Vostok", "Fuxing", "Shenzhou", "Progress", and "Future"!

The names sound quite serious, even a little uninteresting, but most people can accept them, and there won't be much objection to them.

“…… Hello audience friends, the 'Departure' interstellar titan-class spacecraft, which can accommodate the normal life of 50 million people, is the economic, scientific research, educational, and industrial center of the entire civilization. ”

"The rest of the starship-class spacecraft are capable of accommodating a population of 20 million and have a certain amount of industrial capacity and military combat effectiveness. At present, the total population of the new human civilization is insufficient, and each aircraft carrier-class spacecraft is loaded with more than 10 million people, and there is still room for the population to rise to a certain extent. ”

"Ten million people are capable of maintaining every aspect of the ship. The population will slowly increase over the next few hundred years, until it reaches 150 million to 200 million people. ”

"After that, we may try to build our own planetary fortress......"

"Scientists are also working on the technology related to the planetary fortress. The rest of the technology is basically mature, and the most important thing is the planetary warp ......"

On the digital screens on the side of the road, these new motherships are being introduced everywhere. The inhabitants on it are all carefully arranged, corresponding to the six underground cities currently owned by human beings, just one city and one spaceship.

People's daily lives are not affected too much.

If divided according to military strength, all ships are divided into five categories.

The first is the Titan class, that is, the largest tonnage curvature ship that humans can build, and all kinds of materials and technologies have reached the limits of what they already have.

The cost of building a Titan-class ship and the cost was very high, so people only built one. It's too much trouble and it's not necessary.

The second type is the aircraft carrier class, which is a giant spaceship capable of carrying a population of 20 million. This type of spaceship can carry a large number of people, and it is also quite capable of fighting, and has the combat ability to protrude in price.

Next are the cruiser-class, destroyer-class, and escort-class ships, which are numbered curvature ships, capable of carrying a large number of soldiers, and are also storage points for drones.

Even smaller is the curvature drone, that is, the cellular attack community, which is quite expensive to build.

Next is the ordinary UAV, which is a charge death squad due to its small size and cheap cost.

This kind of small UAV, its energy device is still ordinary nuclear fusion, through the electromagnetic ejection of the mother ship to obtain a large initial velocity, due to the cheap cost, you can produce as much as you want. They are usually loaded with high-powered missiles, and a close hit is earned.

Coupled with some electronic jamming spacecraft, early warning spacecraft, reconnaissance spacecraft, and so on, basically the human military system is like this, multi-level and multi-dimensional.

There are a total of 320 spaceships, large and small, with a number of levels, which have reached a reasonable range that the current human civilization and economy can bear.

If you add more ships, you will have to recruit a lot of troops, and the cost of maintenance will increase, which is not unaffordable, but in peacetime, it is not very worthwhile.

After this simple Spring Festival, the next thing is to go to a distant place. In the captain's room of the Departure, a departure ceremony is being held, and the captain is in front of the television to introduce the first long-distance warp sailing.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, our next target is Tabi, which is about 400 light-years away from our current location. If calculated at three times the speed of light, it would take about 133 years. ”

“…… But we can't do it all the time at top speed, and it will take a little bit more, probably around two hundred years. ”

"Since it is the first long-distance voyage, we need to debug the flight process of the fleet throughout the process, and the planets passing by in the middle will not investigate if there is no special reason, and reach the end in one go!"

Captain Feng Zichen's introduction was quite colloquial, and even if he didn't have enough professional knowledge, he could understand it.

The female captain has achieved quite good results over the years, has done a good job in reform, and has personal ability, so she has been re-elected, and the members of the scientific council have no objections.

The current theoretical lifespan of the new human civilization is nearly 700 years old, and the regular personnel are about 500 years old, so the captain can be elected every 50 years, and he can serve up to 4 times. A total tenure of two hundred years is enough for a captain to do a lot of things, provided that his ability is sufficient.

Since it is an intra-party election, the power is too peaceful, and there are basically no bloody incidents such as party disputes.

Every era has its own style, and in this new era, people have endured a lot of hardships and a sinking accident, but they have become more confident and more radical than before.

Entire civilizations have been in this place for too long, and it is only natural that they should go out and engage with more civilizations, and that people are open to new development strategies.
