Kolivich also responded kindly, looking at the young man, he smiled and said, "You are the deputy secretary of the seventh rank of the consul of the sixty habiting ship......"

"Diculam!" Seeing that Kolivich couldn't remember his name for a while, the young man hurriedly added with a smile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Oh yes, Diculam, look at my memory, and please forgive me for my forgetfulness." Koliwicz said apologetically.

"I'm very happy that Professor Koliwicz can remember me."

Then the two families got together and chatted for a while, and after saying goodbye to each other, Rachel looked at her father suspiciously, and said strangely, "Why did that Diculum call you Professor just now?" When did you become a professor? ”

Koliwicz smiled and explained: "Didn't I move to the sixtieth ship, it just so happened that a university was being built here, and the consul of the seventh layer approached me and asked me to be a professor of mechanical power and nuclear engineering at this university. ”

"You're a college professor?" Rachel looked at her father in amazement.

Kolivich nodded, "Anyway, it's idle, and the withdrawal of the fleet needs to train a large number of talents, it is said that other civilizations that have entered the cosmic stage, the number of scientists is billions, and our earth fleet is not going through the normal stage to the universe, the total population is only more than two billion, it is already lagging behind in this regard, if you don't work hard to catch up, how can there be a future?" ”

Rachel was silent at the mention of the topic.

"Father, I support you!" After a while, she raised her head and said firmly.

"Yes, grandfather, I support you too!" Emily looked at her mother and then her grandfather, and shouted childishly with a little face.

Koliwicz smiled, squatted down and patted his granddaughter's head affectionately, and said to Rachel: "Rachel, you have the experience of a senior clerk, you can try to apply for the clerk position of the seventh-floor administrative hall, the seventh-floor administrative hall has just been formed, and now there is a shortage of a large number of people, I think there is still a lot of hope." ”

When Rachel heard this, her heart was a little moved, and she nodded and said, "Good father, I will prepare it." ”

At this time, Rachel suddenly saw rows of tall robots standing quietly on both sides of the street, and asked strangely: "Father, what are these robot-shaped things for, why did there be such robot sculptures on the side of schools, hospitals, and government offices before?" ”

These robot sculptures stand every eight or nine meters, about two meters high, and look mighty and domineering.

I thought my father would know, but I didn't expect Kolivich to shake his head: "I don't know about this, the fleet doesn't seem to have released relevant information, but our captain is an Oriental, it is said that the Oriental country will put a statue on important occasions, especially at the door of government offices, as if it has the meaning of warding off evil spirits, and now putting these robot statues, I guess it probably means the same." ”

Rachel thought about it, and it seemed that there was indeed such a thing.

She once traveled to China and found that Chinese people do put a "stone lion" in front of the main entrance of government offices, banking institutions and other buildings, and even on bridges. Now that we have entered the interstellar age, it is estimated that the stone lion has been replaced by a more technological robot.

……

Earth Fleet, the command hall of the flagship Dawn.

Zhou Chen was analyzing the time when the main fleet of the Ferro civilization arrived on Earth with the senior management of the fleet.

"According to the signals captured by the quantum radar, it can be determined that the Firo civilization is rushing towards the solar system in the form of three fleets, the distance between the three fleets is 0.3 light years apart, and the speed is 0.5 times the speed of light, and the vanguard fleet of the Fei Luo civilization is 4.8 light years away from the solar system, and if the speed remains the same, it is expected to arrive in the solar system in nine years and seven months."

The head of the military department responsible for monitoring the Fei Luo civilization reported to Zhou Chen and the others.

Zhou Chen nodded slightly, and the atmosphere was a little dignified. There are less than ten years left, and while there is a debriefing every once in a while, the feeling of proximity becomes more and more oppressive as time shrinks into less than a decade.

"What's the opinion of the Military Forces Council?" Zhou Chen turned his head to a general-level military official and asked.

This admiral's name is Rodriguez, a general of the former US military staff body, many years ago the Earth Fleet reorganized the military top leaders of various countries, and Rodriguez joined the Earth Fleet at that time, and was responsible for the formulation of military programs together with other military personnel of the six countries.

After the creation of the Military Power Committee of the Earth Fleet, Rodriguez was awarded the rank of Admiral and put him in charge of the work of the military staff.

"After repeated deductions, the Military Force Committee believes that it is necessary to send a decoy fleet immediately, otherwise with the wide scale of the universe, it will be difficult for the Earth Fleet to evade the peripheral reconnaissance of the Ferro civilization." Rodriguez gave his opinion unequivocally.

"How many decoy ships do we have at the moment?" Zhou Chen asked.

"Captain Hui, there are a total of 136,000 small decoy ships, which can simulate a large formation a hundred times the size of the current Earth fleet after carrying a signal transmission source." Speaking of this, Rodriguez paused, and then continued: "We can send decoy ships in three directions, but there is one thing we dare not guarantee. ”

"What is it?"

"We can't guarantee that the Ferro civilization will not speed up towards Earth after seeing our decoy fleet!"

Zhou Chen nodded slightly, his brows couldn't help frowning, Rodriguez was right, if the Ferro civilization detected the signal of the decoy fleet, it was difficult to guarantee whether they would maintain their current speed, if this caused them to accelerate towards the earth, it would make the people who stayed on the side of the earth station have less time to develop.

"What do you have to do about it?"

Rodriguez replied: "Our decoy ship is small enough, and after our experiments, we found that the observation of quantum radar on it can only be more accurate within 3 light years, so we may be able to use the ambiguity of quantum radar to send out the decoy fleet first, and then turn on the signal emission source to lure them after a certain distance!" ”

This idea seems to be good, although quantum radar has the characteristics of timeliness and large amount of information, very efficient and useful, but it also has a serious drawback, that is, its signal quanta is divergent to the universe, which leads to no matter how many signal quanta are emitted, the farther the distance, the more blurred its detection effect is.

It is naturally easy to use it to detect planets, stars, or large interstellar formations, but it is somewhat powerless to detect small aircraft formations. Of course, there is also a premise for all this, that is, the quantum radar of the Ferro civilization is not particularly advanced.

So, what is the quantum radar technology of the Ferro civilization, the answer is not to know!

"Is the Military Force Council sure to send out a decoy fleet now?" Zhou Chen asked again.

"Yes, after multiple sets of parameter simulations, the staff department has come to the conclusion that if the decoy fleet is sent now, the probability of the Ferro civilization discovering it is 0.00001%, and when they get close to the solar system, we can activate the signal emission source, and we are quite sure that the fleet of the Ferro civilization will be diverted......"

"In a sense, it's also reducing the pressure on the planet." Zhou Chen thought about it and agreed with the recommendation of the Military Forces Committee.

After all, there are specializations in the art industry, and when it comes to military affairs, they are professionals.

"By the way, in a week it will be the day the fleet will set sail, and everything inside the living ship is ready?" Zhou Chen turned his head and asked the people on the other side of the Civil Administration Committee.

Edwin, chairman of the Civil Administration Committee and former president of the United States, said: "All the personnel have been resettled, and they are currently in the adaptation stage, and the public opinion is quite normal, there is nothing wrong, and there are no problems in the administration. ”

"There is certainly no problem with public security, and the officers on duty on each ship have been assigned and are ready to crack down on those who attempt to commit crimes." Another member of the committee, the former Russian President Sergeilah, said on the spot.

Hearing him say this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

In fact, most of the people in the Earth fleet are safe and self-contained, and there are really few who dare to take risks to commit crimes. After all, the fleet was just built, and everyone had just arrived, and they didn't have such courage.

Therefore, Sergeira, a full-time member in charge of maintaining public order, is actually very bored, and there is almost nothing else to do all day long except to conduct a "competent evaluation" of the personnel on duty for public security.

"There is no problem with the fleet's supporting resource supply ships and large engineering ships, and all materials have been sorted out!" The previous British Prime Minister, Maxim, immediately added.

"What about the Science and Technology Committee?" Zhou Chen turned his head and asked again.

The committee headed by Cao Jiangfeng naturally couldn't drop the chain, and replied affirmatively: "All the scientific research materials have been withdrawn to the scientific experiment ship, and the various marshalling groups have also been completed, so you can set off at any time!" ”

Zhou Chen nodded, knowing in his heart.

"Now that we're all ready, let's set off in seven days."

The authority of the Earth Station, Zhou Chen was also ready to officially hand over to Zhuang Shengsi when the fleet departed.

……

In a special living area of the Earth Fleet, Zhou Chen met John Ming, who had been imprisoned for trying to leak secrets, and a group of reporters.

"Mr. Zhou, why are you here?" John Ming looked a little surprised when he saw Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen smiled: "What, don't you welcome me?" ”

"Where, Mr. Zhou, please inside!" John Ming smiled and hurriedly invited Zhou Chen in.

After more than ten years of "prison life", John Ming's temperament has been precipitated, and he has a more profound interpretation of the problem, of course he knows what the situation of the earth is at the moment, and he has begun to reflect on whether he was going to make the news public in the first place, whether it was right.

Is the truth important, or is stability important?

This was really a philosophical question, John Ming shook his head and walked in with Zhou Chen.

At this time, in John Ming's courtyard, dozens of people were having an outdoor dinner, and they were all a little surprised when they saw Zhou Chen coming.

And Zhou Chen also discovered that Luke, the "fish that slipped through the net" at the beginning, was actually here.

Several people who once disagreed, and even full of contradictions, met on such an occasion, and the atmosphere was indeed a little delicate.

After an outdoor dinner, Luke was the first to speak: "Captain Zhou, I heard that in seven days, the fleet will set sail?" ”

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Yes, we evacuated a total of 2.3 billion people this time. ”

"Where are we going?"

"Now is not the time to discuss this topic, when the fleet officially sets sail, the Civil Administration Council will broadcast it to the whole ship."

At present, the real destination of the fleet is only known to those who entered the fleet in the early stage, and those who entered the fleet later are still confused at all before the fleet really sets sail.

Luke laughed at himself: "Captain Zhou, are you afraid that we will leak secrets?" ”

Zhou Chen shook his head and joked: "After all, you have a criminal record. ”

Luke was stunned for a moment, and sighed helplessly.

"The fleet is about to set sail, 2.3 billion human beings will start a new order, the fleet does not raise idlers, I have a job here, I don't know if you are willing to accept it?"

After a while, Zhou Chen said the purpose of the trip. (To be continued.) )
