Chapter 288: Expedition
For Xiao Yun, making the decision to "return to the Raqqa system" is a difficult matter. The events he had experienced in the Raqqa system had become a nightmare that haunted Xiao Yun throughout his life, like a wound that had been sealed, and it still made Xiao Yun feel a burst of pain. But...... Xiao Yun knew that only by breaking this wound again and releasing the pus inside the wound could this scar truly heal.
After forty years of waiting still without waiting for the results, Xiao Yun chose to face this matter bravely. In addition, the thing similar to the challenge book also directly involved Xiao Yun, which made Xiao Yun unable to continue to escape in any way.
After finally making this decision, Xiao Yun's heart immediately relaxed. So Xiao Yun's mind quickly calmed down, and then he fell asleep.
This sleep was very peaceful, and the nightmare that had haunted Xiao Yun for many days did not appear. After dawn, Xiao Yun came to the Deep Space Security Investigation Bureau again and told the two investigators what he thought.
The investigators said: "Just last night, the Führer's proposal to let the Earth-class spacecraft set off for the Raqqa system has been approved by the voting meeting, and the final decision is to send one Earth-class spacecraft, fifteen Ocean-class spacecraft, two hundred Everest-class spacecraft, and two thousand Taishan-class spacecraft. The total strength of this expedition will be as high as three million, so it is not a big deal to have you alone. ”
Another investigator added: "Actually, the Führer himself also has the intention of letting you participate in this expedition, because the current intelligence shows that you have many connections to the affairs of the Raqqa system, and there may be some unexpected effects for you to participate in this expedition." However, the Führer's team of thinkers took into account what happened to you in the Raqqa system, and decided that your current state of mind was not suitable for this expedition, so they finally rejected the Führer's proposal. But now that you've made the request yourself, there's nothing to do. You can go back and arrange your own things first. Do some preparations, we'll report to the higher authorities, and if it's fast, it is estimated that your request will be approved by the evening. ”
"Thank you." Xiao Yun nodded and expressed his gratitude to the two of them, "It's a very difficult thing for me to make this decision. But...... I don't think I'm going to be able to escape any longer, both for the rest of my life and for the sake of the machine life that might threaten our entire human civilization. ”
"Good." "Good luck," the investigator said. ”
This matter was simply finalized, and just as the investigator said, Xiao Yun received a notice at night, and immediately set off from Earth to Neptune's deep space expedition base to prepare for departure. Now. At the Neptune Deep Space Voyage Base, there are already fifty Tarzan-class spaceships, ten Everest-class spacecraft, and an Ocean-class spaceship waiting to depart.
The sixty-one ships will first head to Sirius, where they will rendezvous with all the other ships participating in the expedition, and then travel to the Raqqa system. Counting all the spaceship transfers and the time spent on the interstellar voyage, the expedition would have taken more than twenty years in total.
Life in the interstellar age is like this, and it is commonplace for people nowadays to spend years or decades traveling once. Not to mention an interstellar expedition that spans dozens of light-years.
After the Führer signed the order, the huge government apparatus began to work. In the solar system alone, at least tens of millions of people have been affected by this order. Soldiers began to gather at the deep space voyage base, engineers began to carry out pre-war overhauls of the spacecraft, and logistics personnel began to mobilize the resources needed for combat and life-sustaining...... Many, many people have started to get busy, and Xiao Yun is just one of these tens of millions of people.
But compared to the entire human civilization, no. These tens of millions of people are only a tiny fraction of the population that lives in the entire solar system. Tens of millions of people have been affected, and hundreds of times the number of people who are tens of millions of people are unaware of it. People are still living, living, and working according to their usual paths. Entertainment......
Human civilization is too big, and the population is too much.
It is impossible to travel faster than light in the star system, so it took Xiao Yun almost a month to travel from Earth to Neptune's deep space expedition base. Because of the signing of the previous order, a large number of people have gathered in the entire Neptune base, and the dullness of the past in the base has been swept away, and it has begun to become noisy and prosperous. If it weren't for the fact that most of the people who came and went were wearing military uniforms, Xiao Yun would have thought that he had come to a lively market somewhere.
Xiao Yun took his letter of employment and found the captain of the ocean-class spaceship, and under the captain's arrangement, Xiao Yun was assigned a room for daily life, and was temporarily given the title of "intelligence analysis staff officer". However, due to the particularity of Xiao Yun's identity, the captain did not assign him a specific job. For the captain, his task is only to bring Xiao Yun to the Sirius system, and then hand him over to the captain of the only earth-class spaceship of the expeditionary legion, and Xiao Yun's specific work tasks will be arranged by the captain of the earth-class spaceship.
The captain of the Earth-class spacecraft is named Emek, and he is also the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary legion in the true sense, and all the personnel and spacecraft involved in this expedition must be controlled and commanded by Emek.
This is the true top of human civilization, and nominally even higher than the highest administrator of a star system. After all, human civilization has now occupied dozens of star systems, while there are only three Earth-class warships.
For such a big man to personally lead thousands of combat ships and millions of soldiers to the Raqqa system, it is enough to see that the government of human civilization attaches great importance to this incident.
Of course, Xiao Yun knew very well in his heart that in the face of a possible robot empire that infinitely replicated itself...... No amount of attention should be taken too seriously. After all, it was a terrifying existence that could destroy an entire civilization and even occupy an entire river system...... (To be continued.) )
