Before this large-scale interstellar colonization journey, only a small number of carefully selected and trained astronauts had been sent to try long-distance voyages; Although he had a long history of colonizing the moon, Emperor Qin Zheng also sent nearly 100 experimental expeditions to repeatedly verify the feasibility of ultra-long-distance interstellar colonization.

The results of the experiment are encouraging, and it has been found in all directions that most ordinary humans are capable of handling the threats and challenges of space travel and completing tasks in future interstellar colonization after receiving large-scale genetic optimization for ordinary humans based on modified human technology.

Such good news continued one after another, and finally made Emperor Qin Zheng make up his mind and start implementing the interstellar colonization plan! With the decree being issued, the whole of mankind began to be busy with this great project, which was the largest in human history, the most extensive in scope, and the most difficult in human history. Even under the dual guarantee of the emperor's own eloquence and the high degree of social control under the imperial system, it still took a full ten years, and it is really difficult to describe the difficulties encountered in the middle, but finally it was done.

So, on the fourteenth National Day of the establishment of the Galactic Empire, Emperor Qin Zheng solemnly announced under the live broadcast of all the media - the imperial colonization operation has officially begun!

With his order, it has long been parked in geosynchronous orbit, and ten expeditionary fleets with a total of 28,000 colony ships, carrying a total of 180 million colonists, are heading in different directions!! The dazzling light emitted by the fusion engine instantly illuminated the entire holy capital, bringing tears to the eyes of countless people watching the ceremony on the ground.

This day, later named "Day", was one of the grandest festivals of the Empire.

I am also very familiar with this day, but what I learned from the Emperor himself today is that the truth is by no means as simple as what I learned from history class before. Soon after the start of the real voyage, expeditions in almost all directions encountered a great challenge - cultural variation!

The normal lifespan of an ordinary human being in just a hundred years is only a tiny moment in the face of the huge cosmic scale that is often measured in light years, which means that most of the people in the colonial fleet will spend their lives on a long journey, although with the assistance of hibernation technology, most of the people who are really expected to reach the end are actually their children.

In other words, for most members of the colonial fleet, it was a path of no return; Coupled with the technical limitations at that time, the largest colony ship that could be built was only a megaton similar to the Black Dragon. This tonnage sounds like a lot, but it removes the power system and the circulating ecological maintenance system, the necessary weapons and life-saving systems, and the terraforming facilities and equipment after arriving at the destination in the future...... After that, there are very few that can be left for the crew.

Such rudimentary conditions can barely be endured by professional astronauts and reformed soldiers, after all, this group of people is composed of soldiers as the main body, and can fully understand and adjust their psychological state from the inside out. When it came time to actually form an expedition, it was necessary to consider the need to rebuild the social system smoothly after arriving at the destination, and no one should be left behind, and no one could be required to adjust themselves like the former.

So, after the early days of excitement and wonder when they first stepped into space and finally tried to open up a new world, more and more people began to experience major changes in their thinking as the fleet moved farther and farther from their former homes.

As the first true travelers of the human race, they began to become very different from "normal" humans. They began to get used to tossing and turning in cramped spaces, walking like flying; accustomed to swallowing monotonous synthetic foods in the rusty smell of steel; Accustomed to cleaning the whole body without water once every three days and exposing to the sun to absorb calcium......

Later studies have shown that ten years after the voyage, most of the colonial ship's passengers have rarely talked about the events of their past lives in the Holy Capital in their daily lives and work, and more about the daily events of the fleet; What's more, what makes people even more concerned is that the dialogue between them has gradually changed from the initial hesitation to dullness, and even many people rarely communicate with others except as a last resort!

The passion is gone, and everything is unknown in the distance, and the colonial fleet in this state can be described as a worrying future. At the beginning of the formation of the fleet, Emperor Qin Zheng also anticipated this situation, and made special arrangements for this, and each colonial fleet was equipped with a large number of psychiatrists and related equipment, hoping to help people alleviate this problem.

Unfortunately, the actual effect can be said to be very poor. Psychologists themselves are in the fleet, and the problems that plague ordinary people are also looking for trouble, and they themselves are psychologists, and their professional knowledge makes it more difficult for them to solve their own psychological problems......

At a time when this dangerous state of affairs was accumulating and threatening the colonization plan as it became more and more apparent, the appearance of the Charon system and the Astronomical Star was a timely rain for the Ninth Fleet, and the members of the Fleet, who had been away from the solid land for thirty years, made all preparations with the utmost enthusiasm and astonishing speed, and began to land on the Distant Planet.

In just two weeks, the first batch of 600,000 people landed and quickly built the first base capable of living and working for 5 million people by using the construction platforms and materials formed by the deployment of the landing ship that landed with them.

In the previous preparation stage, all the deployment steps of the fleet after finding a suitable colony system were tried and tested countless times, and each process can be described as a thousand tempers, and a large team like the Ninth Fleet and a formal colonization operation can also be implemented smoothly.

The news brought back by the first large troops that landed strengthened the Duke of Wessler's confidence that the distant star could provide more than a hundred usable minerals, and that they were extremely rich; And the most surprising discovery came from the ocean of the distant star, first of all, its chemical composition, which turned out to be freshwater! In addition, this ocean is inhabited by fish and animals that can be eaten by people!!

Many people began to rejoice, thirty years of space journey, is this distant star a gift from God to the Ninth Fleet?
