According to His Majesty the Emperor on TV, if the empire wants to return to normal, twelve trillion imperial citizens must go into hibernation, and the audience in front of the TV couldn't help but hold their breath for a while.

Originally, they thought that the empire only needed to freeze a part of the population, but they never thought that it would be necessary to freeze three-fifths of the population!

The people fell silent, even though Li Mingze had just told them that after entering the dormant chamber, people would live in a virtual world.

But how many people are willing to abandon their real life and enter the virtual world to spend the rest of their lives?

On TV, Li Mingze also listed the adverse consequences that might occur if the empire could not return to the normal development track, and the citizens of the empire hesitated.

Now they have only two choices before them: for the sake of the country, for the sake of civilization, or for themselves.

Although the empire has opened a registration hotline and registration website, registration points have also been opened in various cities.

People only need to go to the registration point or log on to the website to apply for hibernation, and the empire will give them three months to take care of everything in reality.

In order to compensate these people, once the application is approved, the Empire will compensate each of them 300,000 energy coins, which is enough to buy a private spaceship or an ordinary estate on a colonial planet.

The person who receives the money can choose to give it to their family or squander it during the three months.

After a final experience of reality, these people will be taken to the Empire's dormant center by the transport.

Underground in the capital's ring, countless construction ships have built dormant facilities in the underground space capable of accommodating up to twenty trillion Imperial citizens.

Citizens of the Imperium who participate in the dormant Empire may sleep here forever, or even never wake up.

For three days, a full three days, no one came to sign up at the registration point or on the registration website, and it was obvious that everyone was still hesitating.

At this time, many old people suddenly appeared on the street, and these old people walked towards the registration point with a firm gaze in their eyes.

The biotechnology that the Empire now possesses is capable of allowing the citizens of the Empire to live for nearly a thousand years.

But it is now the year 2900 of the Imperial calendar, and it has been a full 880 years since the Empire stepped out of its home planet, the Sith Star!

Most of the citizens of the empire who have followed the empire along the way have reached old age.

This part of the old people has the deepest feelings for the empire, so after three days of persuasion to their families, these old people of the empire stood up without hesitation.

They don't have many years to live, they no longer create any value in the empire, and their only role is to receive the empire's subsidies to support their old age.

But now that the empire is facing this situation, they are not willing to continue this worthless life anymore, and it is better to dedicate their last remaining heat to the empire.

Rather than wasting the Empire's resources alive, it is better to take the initiative to go into dormancy and make room for the young people of the Empire.

These old people have agreed to go to the registration point together on this day through spiritual networks or forums, and they want to make a show for those who are still hesitating!

On this day, all the entertainment venues in the empire were closed, and all entertainment programs were also suspended, and the eyes of everyone in the empire were focused on these old people who walked towards the registration point.

Some of the hesitants made up their minds in an instant, and they put on their clothes and left the house.

After all, hibernation is just entering the virtual world, and they are not dead, so many people still make up their minds.

At this time, some young people who stayed at home every day were also touched.

They begin to look back on their lives and find that they don't seem to have done anything meaningful in the game other than receiving imperial subsidies, and they haven't created any value for the world.

Since they stay at home every day just to play games, why don't they just go straight into the virtual world, they are immersed in the fake world anyway.

They go into hibernation and also make room for those who create value for the empire!

Overnight, the number of people in the empire who signed up for dormancy increased rapidly, approaching ten trillion in just one day.

This equates to half of the Empire's population choosing to sacrifice themselves to pave the way for the Empire's development.

Li Mingze is not surprised by this part of the population, the real working population of the empire is only 6 trillion, and the remaining 14 trillion people are either staying at home and indulging in the game world, or they have reached retirement age and are idle at home.

As the conditions of the empire are getting better and better, and the number of people who are idle at home is increasing, the empire now has at least four trillion water that has not been squeezed out.

However, at this time, it is basically impossible for those who have not made up their minds to be willing to go into hibernation.

After ten days of waiting, the number of people who signed up came to a standstill, and now the empire has eleven trillion citizens willing to live in the virtual world.

Although the dormancy conditions have been met, Li Mingze still plans to flow out a little more of the vacancy, so that the empire can increase the population of some natural persons.

The remaining quota of a trillion people comes from there, of course, the clones of the Empire.

After such a long period of development, the population of cloned humans has reached more than one trillion.

Excluding the clone soldiers in the army and the clone workers in some high-tech industries, there are exactly a trillion clones in social service that can be eliminated.

In the face of these emotionless clones that can be created at any time, the empire is not so kind, and directly gathers them on a planet to destroy.

The day of destruction was dubbed "Clone Lament", a trillion clones were gathered on a planet, and the Empire's antimatter cannon turned the planet into cosmic dust along with all the clones on the planet.

For the Empire, it's like recycling a lot of scrap, all records have been erased, and there will be no record of it in history.

After all, no one knows when the Clone Conservation Society will come out to expose this "good thing" done by the Empire.

But no matter how much the empire tried to hide it, this matter still fell into the eyes of those who cared, and the clone who had obtained the spirit linker was one of them.

Seeing through the camera that the planet full of clones was destroyed by antimatter, tears crossed the eyes of the clone who had escaped the control of the Empire.

"I will avenge you!" The clone turned off the holographic screen in front of him and disappeared into the shadows.
