Chapter 31: The Eve of Departure

In the deepest part of the Earth battleship, the huge spherical area is brightly lit, and the inner surface of the entire spherical space is full of people, this area is like a concentric sphere, from the inside to the outside, the space gradually increases, and the confidentiality authority is gradually reduced, but even the lowest confidentiality authority is quite high in the outside world, and ordinary people cannot access any information about this place at all. If you stand in there www.biquge.info you will find a very strange thing, which is that all the office areas are placed on the spherical inner and outer surfaces, and maybe if you look up, you can see that there is a person working on top of you. It feels like it's depicted in the Russian sci-fi film "Against the World". This is the command center of the entire fleet, and there are such areas on the Venus and/or models, but they are usually mothballed, and will only be activated when the Earth is heavily damaged and the command center needs to be transferred. The reason why the command center is designed in this way is to maximize the command efficiency of the fleet and the survival rate of the command center, when the battle situation is irretrievable, the command center can be separated from the battleship and transferred to the temporary flagship to continue to command the battle.

At this moment, in the spherical conference room in the innermost layer of the command center, Chen Peilin and Zhuge Wushuang sat on the suspended chairs in the conference room and said to the political leaders selected from various countries: "Ladies and gentlemen, more than five months have passed, and the organization affirms your achievements, and the work of the fleet to contain migrants is also proceeding in an orderly manner, so far 5.56 billion people have moved to the emigration ship, and now the remaining personnel are being brought in at a rate of more than 20 million per day, and it won't be long. The resettlement of migrants is coming to an end. ”

"By bringing you here today, you have been and are all new people who think about the future of humanity, and as such, the Organization will fulfill our commitment to the United Nations Federation, and from this day forward, you will form the Senate of the fleet, whose usual work will be to assist in the management of the fleet. As you know, the fleet will be managed intelligently in the future, so there will be no more appointments and dismissals of officials at all levels, but it is still necessary for humans to participate in management. Your more important job is to be responsible for negotiating with the alien race in the future for the benefit of our humanity. I believe that with your political talents, you will definitely do better. In addition, in the next step, the fleet will open a large number of academies, which will be the place where the fleet will train talents in the future, and the organization will assign you to the corresponding academies to serve as deans based on your past resumes. I hope you understand that the academy will become the third largest department of the fleet in the future, after the military and economic departments, and I hope that you will be able to do your job well when the time comes. After all, if we humans are not able to fully analyze and absorb the scientific and technological information in the hands of the organization, then these technologies will be harmful to us, and may even ruin the future of our civilization. And in this crisis-ridden universe, we can only survive if we are strong. Our human population is still too small! The number of mature interstellar civilization races must be at least hundreds of billions of people, and we humans are still very immature compared to them. ”

The others also nodded their heads constantly when they heard this, on the surface, human beings with the technology of a seventh-level civilization can definitely go sideways in the galaxy unscrupulously, but in fact, it is not the case at all. First of all, the more advanced the technology, the less precious resources are used in the universe, just like the current four flagships, which were built after consuming all the precious resources that Natalie packed from the Alliance. There are countless intelligent races under the jurisdiction of the alliance, and it has only been found for so long since it existed, and how many can humans find, so it is not realistic to build all the human fleets into seventh-level civilization fleets in the short term, and it is very difficult to even turn all of them into sixth-level civilization fleets, otherwise the main body of the fleet will not be the construction materials of fifth-level civilizations. Secondly, war requires a large number of people, and without a population, there would be no large number of soldiers, and with the current population base of mankind, I am afraid that a small-scale armed conflict between cosmic civilizations will be exhausted, and it will not be able to withstand a major battle at all.

"At present, our fleet mainly has four flagships, namely Earth, Mars, Venus and Mercury, a total of three fleets, of which only the first fleet is our main fleet, all the warships are sixth-level civilization warships, if it can be fully played, before leaving the galaxy, there is no problem in protecting the safety of our fleet, in addition to the second and third fleets. Due to the lack of precious resources, we are unable to manufacture the alloys used in the sixth-level civilization warships, so most of the warships of these two fleets are fifth-level civilization warships, but please rest assured, their shipboard weapons are still sixth-level civilizations, and it can be said that in addition to the poor protection ability, the attack ability is not bad at all. The basic configuration of each fleet is also the same, the fleet has a sixth-level high-level civilization flagship, a hundred destroyers, three hundred frigates, and ten aerospace aircraft carriers, all of which refer to large ships equipped as standard, such as those small and medium-sized assault ships, landing ships and gunboats are not included at all. The fleet was commanded by Vice Admiral Zhang Zheng, Vice Admiral Bernard, and Vice Admiral Wilson, and the other officers had already been assigned to the fleet. However, in addition to the completion of the reorganization of the First Fleet, the Second and Third Fleets are seriously lacking, and in particular, the second and third fleets are not equipped with three fighter groups and more than 300 fighters in each fleet, and they cannot even protect the safety of the fleet in wartime. No way, we lack good fighter pilots. These could only be selected from the fleet slowly at a later date. ”

"In addition, the fleet includes fifty large sixth-class emigrant ships, one hundred and fifty fifth-class emigrant ships, and two hundred and fifty large industrial and agricultural ships, so that we can be self-sufficient in the short term, even without any supplies. And we have mastered the technology of jumping, so the situation of not being able to find resources is almost non-existent, so there is no need to worry about the survival of the fleet. Now we have to consider whether we should wait until the reorganization of the fleet is completed before setting sail or set sail now. Chen Peilin said to everyone present.

"Your Excellency, if you set sail now, can the safety of the fleet be guaranteed?" A middle-aged Chinese man said. In fact, this middle-aged man was Liu Lao, the supreme leader of the Huaxia Kingdom at that time, but after genetic adjustment, he is now in the prime of life, and in terms of a life span of 500 years old, he has not even finished one-fifth of his life now.

"There is no problem with this, within the galaxy, our fleet is one of the few known sixth-level civilization fleets. Although the number is not large, the degree of advancement is still guaranteed, and our flagship has the ability to create temporary wormholes for long-range jumps, so it can be said that we have nothing to trap us except for black holes, and the battleships are managed by shipboard AI in peacetime, and there will be no personnel operation errors, so we will not jump into the black hole. Chen Peilin replied.

"Will there be a situation of internal insecurity and division in the fleet?" asked the former black president of the United States and now the black "youth." This is an unavoidable question, and many people here may be making such wishful thinking in their hearts, but no one is clear.

"This is also a concern for the Order, as the members of the fleet come from many nations and countries." Chen Peilin frowned and said. "The core control programs of all the shipboard AI in the fleet are completely controlled by the organization, and they will not be activated without the permission of the organization, and the battleship will only be a metal coffin floating in space. If you want to rebel, you have to be prepared to pay the price. And we have dispersed the personnel as much as possible, and the real-time monitoring within the fleet, we have not found such a tendency so far. That's why we advocate setting sail as soon as possible, because people tend to huddle in unfamiliar environments. Chen Peilin responded.

The people present kept nodding their heads, since there is no problem with safety, it is always good to set sail a little earlier, and the situation outside will have to be faced sooner or later, why not face it earlier, so that the opportunity may not be lost, and the stability and unity of the fleet can be guaranteed. As a result, most of the people were in favor of setting sail as soon as the fleet was ready, starting with the cantilever of Orion, where the earth is located, and gradually advancing along the cantilevers, finding the possibility of cooperation between various civilizations and races, and fighting together against the slave catcher fleet of the glorious empire.

"We have one last question left," Chen Peilin said, looking at everyone, "what about the humans who are still on Earth?" After all, they are common ancestors, and we cannot abandon them. ”

"I think we can provide them with the technology of a fourth-level civilization, which will be enough for them to protect themselves under the small number of slave hunters." The man in seat fifteen responded.

"I'm afraid it's not proper, have you ever thought about it, the strongest powers have all left, the earth is in a power vacuum all of a sudden, and there will inevitably be a war of hegemony and annexation at that time, if we leave them the technology of the fourth-level civilization, I think it won't be long before the human race on the earth will perish." At that time, we were only a third-level civilization, and the nuclear weapons of various countries were enough to destroy the earth hundreds of times. The man in seat six retorted.

"Is this okay? We gave them the technology to build an undersea city and electromagnetic weapons, and told them about the slave hunters, and when the slave hunters came, everyone would hide under the sea, and I don't think the slave hunters would go to the bottom of the sea to search. Twenty-seven said.

"This is feasible, and it can also reduce the risk of a war of destruction," Chen Peilin said, "Is there anything else that needs to be added?" ”

"Our elite scientists have all followed the fleet, and it will inevitably lead to the regression of science and technology on the earth at that time, I think it is better for us to leave them some civilian technology of the fourth-level civilization, and now that the earth's energy is running out, if this problem is not solved, there will inevitably be disputes again." Seat Six said again, but somewhat.

"Is that so? Then we will leave the civil technology and energy technology of the fourth-level civilization and the construction technology of the undersea city, and it is expected that they will be able to enter the solar system to colonize in two hundred years at most. In order to prevent technology monopolies, we will send a technology package to every regime, and that's all we can do, and hope that they will get through the crisis safely. Chen Peilin replied.

"That's it, the fleet hurry up and prepare, it will set sail in a month, take advantage of this time to plant another batch of high-yield crops and store them, and reserve a batch of various resources, and strive to fill all the stocks, especially those biological crystals, you can send a fleet to Mercury to sow a large number of seeds, and it is expected that we can get a large batch of energy crystals when we leave, although our main battleship does not need these energies, but individual weapons, Small arms and all civilian technology can harness this cheap and fast energy. It's always good to stock up on more now, and the fleet may not have so much time and conditions to specialize in growing crystals in the future. Chen Peilin made a decision.

The entire fleet has accelerated its preparations, and the first voyage of mankind is coming.
