Chapter 250: Five Hundred and Forty Years

Just when Shen Yahui and the others thought it was over, nine more old people appeared in the video. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Newly awakened gentlemen and ladies, we are the ten members of the Ark Council."

"Now that the Ark has flown into the wormhole for four hundred and fifty-two years, you have also seen the video of the first captain, and our Ark is trapped in the wormhole passage."

"Five hundred and forty-two years have passed since the departure of the Sith, and our ark has begun to deteriorate, and we have replaced many parts alone, although the old parts can be recycled, but when the main beam in the spaceship is also aged and can no longer support the weight of the ark, the ark will disintegrate."

"And we all know that the food on the ark can only be stored for eight hundred years, and beyond that time, the food stored on the ark will be damaged."

"But in order to cope with the increasing maintenance work, we now need to wake up 10,000 maintenance personnel every ten years, even if we store all the newly produced food in the planting area on the ark, we only eat the food carried by the ark, and the new food accumulated for more than two hundred years is not enough for the consumption of the increasing maintenance personnel for more than twenty years."

"So the situation is very unpleasant right now!"

"We hope that you will take on the role of resolving the crisis and help the 20 million humans on this ark escape the wormhole and bring them to a place where they can soak up the sun." As soon as the voice fell, the holographic screen was completely extinguished, and the lights in the lounge gradually brightened.

After a while, the door of the lounge was opened, and ten old men floated into the lounge in seats floating in the air, and came to Shen Yahui and the others.

"Good morning, everyone, we are the third stewards of the Ark, the second members of the Council of the Ark."

"We've been working for more than a hundred years, and we don't have enough life to last the ark out of the wormhole."

"So we have carefully selected ten of you out of 20 million people, and you will be members of the new Ark Council, and your mission is to lead the Ark out of hyperspace!"

"Among them, we appointed Shen Yahui as the president of the Ark Council, hoping to use his natural sixth sense to help the Ark escape." A lawmaker stretched out his hand and pointed at Shen Yahui and said.

Shen Yahui looked surprised, he didn't expect that he would wake up and shoulder the heavy responsibility of tens of millions of lives.

"I... I can't! Shen Yahui hurriedly waved his hand and excused himself.

"No, you've just proven in the infirmary that your sixth sense does exist, and there are people behind the observation glass in the infirmary, and we're watching you behind this one-sided pane of glass."

"So we want you to take over the position of Captain and Speaker!" As he spoke, the parliamentarian handed the command sword in his hand to Shen Yahui.

Having said that, he was no longer allowed to refuse, Shen Yahui hurriedly stepped forward and took the command sword with both hands, and solemnly bowed to several councilors, this is what people often say about being ordered in danger.

"Alright, we're going to do some handovers to you, and you're going to meet with the maintenance staff who woke up with you." With that, the councillors floated out of the lounge in hovering chairs.

"Will we be alone on the ark for the rest of our lives, just like them?" The only woman among the ten said with some frustration.

"If you think about it, you can still spend a lifetime on the ship, and those dormant people will probably wait until the ark disintegrates in the wormhole without knowing what happened, and die in a daze." The person next to the woman patted her on the shoulder and comforted.

"Yes, it's better to die than to live, and we'll spend the rest of our lives on the ark." The other sighed.

Shen Yahui finally understood why the captains in the video were so old, it turned out that they wanted to spend their lives in peace, because they didn't have much hope that the ark would be able to leave the wormhole

The so-called leading the ark out of the wormhole is just an excuse for them to comfort themselves!

Shen Yahui couldn't help but clench his fists fiercely when he thought of this, he was unwilling, he participated in this voyage plan with the determination to open up territory for the empire, and he definitely couldn't just die in the wormhole.

Ten days later, the top ten councillors who had completed the handover of various tasks returned to the dormant cabin, and they wanted to fight again while they were not dead, in case the boat finally flew out of the wormhole, wouldn't they be able to "keep their feet on the ground" again!

Shen Yahui and others, who had fully taken over the work of the ark, came to the bridge in the center of the ark.

The bridge of the Ark was not as crowded as a normal spaceship, the bridge of the Ark was the size of a football field, dozens of seats were suspended in the air, and a staff member sat on the hovering chairs and shuttled back and forth.

Wrapping around the bridge is a panoramic holographic screen, which shows the inside of the blue wormhole passage.

Shen Yahui and the others sat on their own gorgeously shaped suspension chairs, put their hands on the armrests at both ends of the chairs, and as soon as they thought about it, the suspension chairs flew towards the center of the bridge.

In the center of the bridge's air hangs a large semi-circular conference table, in the center of which is a constantly flickering hologram of the ark.

Shen Yahui came to his place in front of the conference table, and couldn't help frowning when he looked at the hologram of the ark in front of him.

In order to rush the construction, the empire designed the service life of these arks for six hundred years.

Because it was originally expected to be reached in more than 300 years, even if there was some delay on the way, it would be able to reach the target galaxy in 400 years, but I never thought that the ark would be trapped in a wormhole for so long.

The Ark, which is approaching the end of its design life, has begun to have broken parts, but because there are not too many damaged parts now, the Ark's manufacturing center can still make new parts and replace them in time.

However, Shen Yahui can foresee that if he has not left the wormhole after fifty-eight years, then the speed of parts manufacturing in the Ark Manufacturing Center will definitely not be able to catch up with the speed of damage to the spaceship.

At that time, with the damage of the parts, the various partitions and functions of the spaceship are estimated to be finished, and the ark will eventually disintegrate in the wormhole.

The situation is even worse than expected!

"We have to do something!" Shen Yahui supported his head with his hands and frowned.

"What can we do, you must know that we are helpless in the wormhole space, we don't know when we will be able to fly to the end of the wormhole!" One lawmaker was a little frustrated.

"What if we used a hyperspace jump engine in a wormhole?" Shen Yahui seemed to have thought of something.

"Two different spaces meet.... We will be torn to shreds by the waves caused by the explosion of space! A dark-skinned congressman replied that he had been a hyperspace researcher in the Empire before coming to the Ark, and had studied hyperspace in depth.

"You're saying that if you start the hyperspace engine, there will be a space explosion?" Shen Yahui's eyes lit up!

"If we charge up the hyperspace engine and launch it and let it detonate in front of us, will we be able to escape through the gap created by the explosion?" Shen Yahui slammed the table and said.
