Early in the morning, Yao Yuan appeared at the captain's office refreshed, and at this time, except for the guards, other government workers had not yet arrived, so he began to check the consumption of materials in the recent period.
After watching it for a while, I saw Barbie walking into the captain's room with a bunch of documents and files, and when I saw him, I was stunned for a moment, and then I saw him look refreshed, and immediately smiled, just said hello, and walked to the secretariat office where he was.
Yao Yuan scratched his head a little embarrassed, in fact, in the nineteen years since he left the earth, Barbie has never been married, although there are some dating partners, but as far as she said when she casually chatted, it seems that there are such and such inappropriate, in short, she is still single now, and Yao Yuan can also feel that she seems to have some interest in him......
Yao Yuan shook his head, drove out these superfluous thoughts, and then concentrated on looking at all kinds of information in his hand.
These are all information about the material statistics of the Hope, because after the previous Cursed Star War, the materials of the Hope have reached below the critical point, so there is a refuge war, as the human race gets closer and closer to the third-level cosmic civilization, the material consumption is more and more, to give a few simple examples, such as the large-scale 3D stereoscopic landscape used by the Hope in those leisure blocks, these are large power consumers, and because of the relationship of public opinion, as long as the materials are not so tight, It is generally open 24 hours a day.
Another example is the current two-story ecological park of Hope, one is land animals and plants, and the other is marine animals and plants, and because the collected species are adapted to their different climates and temperatures, these simulations are a large amount of energy and material input.
There is also the life maintenance system of the Hope itself. To maintain the current population of nearly 300,000, the oxygen cycle, the liquid cycle, and the various waste cycles, etc., there is more hope for the energy consumption mechanism of the ship itself, as well as the science and technology department, which is a large user of energy and materials. Up to now, even if the Hope is fully loaded, it can only last for about fifteen years in the cosmic void at most...... The premise is that it is not possible to create large-scale weapons and vehicles, upgrades, etc.
So, the form is actually quite steep. And as the population base increased, the available space for the Hope gradually decreased, in fact, during the three years of curvature sailing, especially in the third year. Some lawmakers have already suggested that the interior chambers of the Hope will gradually shift from public rationing to private redemptions......
It's a mess!
True. The Hope government has shifted from public rationing to private economy on many issues, such as the former system of providing food and necessities to the current system of purchasing human coins, but some things are still subject to public rationing, at most appropriate with a little preference based on position and ability, but in general. Even Yao Yuan's living room is definitely not much larger or more luxurious than the living room of the person receiving the benefits. This is not dictated by political reasons, but by the actual conditions of the Hope itself.
At least until a true mothership-class ship is built. It is absolutely impossible for the human society of the Hope to adopt the situation of privatization of housing......
In fact, having said that, the reason why Hope currently has many problems of one kind or another is that human beings entered the universe in a really hurry, and at the same time, the level of science and technology when entering the universe was too low, so the largest spaceship created was the level of Hope, which was just a medium and large spaceship equivalent to a second-level cosmic civilization.
It seems that the manufacture of Kunlun is already on the agenda, and after entering the third-level cosmic civilization, the first priority is to find a remote star system to create Kunlun......
The time passed slowly in Yao Yuan's contemplation and review of documents, and by about nine o'clock in the morning, the number of people near the captain's office began to increase, and the government personnel gradually began to gather, and the daily routine of the Hope began again.
“…… The salvage time is tentatively set for three months, of course, the time will be increased or decreased according to the amount of materials salvaged, or the content of science and technology, and other circumstances, and at the same time the Hope maintains a level 4 alert, every day the Hope must have three prophets on standby at all times, and at least 200 Space Marines are on level 4 alert, the details are as follows......"
It was in a conference hall near the captain's quarters, and the meeting included the top brass of the Hope military, as well as a small number of mid-level members, as well as government ministers and deputy ministers, as well as more than a dozen members of the House of Representatives.
Just after Yao Yuan's speech was finished, the slightly noisy discussion below also ended at the same time, and I saw that more than ten people below had turned on the speech light, and then it was automatically selected by artificial intelligence according to the order of positions, the first to speak was a parliamentarian, he first said a few polite words, and then asked sharply: "Your Excellency, as far as we can see, this is an extremely important passage point to the star path, although the universe is indeed very large, this is the void of the universe, and the nearest star system to us is also dozens of light years away, But it is obvious that in the current situation where the river system is contracted and destroyed by the Song of Destruction, the cosmic civilizations in the vicinity and beyond will move towards here, and we can say that they are blocked on a traffic artery...... Is this safe? ”
Yao Yuan waited until the councillor finished speaking, and then he replied: "There must be danger, but the salvage of the ruins here is precisely to avoid danger, first of all, we have enough foreseeers, including the strongest foreseeer Zhang Heng, the current number of human foreseeers is twenty-two, I believe that before the Hope encounters danger, whether it is a cosmic disaster or a powerful and invincible civilization passing by, we can predict them in advance and escape from ......"
"Secondly, it is precisely because of the proximity to the star path that we have to be more cautious, what is in front of us, what is the star path, how many cosmic civilizations are in control there, what we will encounter, and even what is the reason for the cosmic war that broke out here, these are not clear to us, so that we have this salvage operation, I hope to get enough information from these ruins, so that we can know how many difficulties lie ahead, so that we can deal with the upcoming star road escape more homely."
"As for getting technology, supplies, etc. from the ruins, it's just incidental to salvage."
Yao Yuan's words caused a whispered discussion below, but it obviously made many people feel satisfied, and the people who wanted to speak before were suddenly reduced by more than half, obviously they were all worried about the safety of the Hope itself.
Next, it was a question from a major officer.
"Führer, I would like to know what tasks the defending forces will take on in this salvage, and we may face those enemy ......"
The whole meeting lasted for more than two hours, of course, this is only the preliminary salvage intention, and there are more complicated things to deal with next, such as the rotation of the army, whether it is Space Marines or Defense Force soldiers, as well as salvage teams, workers, and artificial intelligence robots responsible for large-scale debris handling, etc., as well as the distribution of materials that need to be consumed during this period, and the issue of human coin wages for relevant employees, etc......
During this period, many things were handed over by Yao Yuan to the Secretariat and relevant government departments, and a special salvage team was set up for the salvage plan, which was composed of the current Hope government and several parliamentarians, and it took a lot of energy to straighten out all kinds of things, and by the time the real salvage was actually carried out, it was already five days later.
Hundreds of transports sailed out of the Hope, accompanied by thirty Type 011 space fighters, and several reconnaissance satellites launched in front of the team towards the ruins.
The same is the salvage of the ruin area, compared to the ruined civilization encountered when the Hope entered the universe, the current human salvage team is really a heaven on the ground, at that time almost nine deaths and a lifetime of salvage, those artificial intelligence strong enemies encountered, if replaced by the current Hope, it is really possible to kill as many as you want like a dog, after all, human civilization has progressed to the upper level of the second-level cosmic civilization, and as time continues, it is almost just around the corner to enter the third-level cosmic civilization, in this case, If you are still afraid of a bunch of battlefield ruins of a second-level cosmic civilization, then you will really have to laugh off the big teeth of the cosmic civilization next to you.
The reconnaissance satellites in the early stage are new creations that have only been created in recent years, using the same high-tech of the second-level cosmic civilization, and the personnel are the scientists and engineers of the original Noah-1, compared with most of the scientists on the Noah-1 "civilian" version, the personnel who arrived from Noah-1 are more suitable for the "military" level, and with the familiarization and further study in the past five years, these scientists and engineers have basically learned to reach the progress of the scientists on the Hope. That is to say, their knowledge has reached the second-level cosmic civilization from the first-level civilization of the original earth.
This has also brought a new round of creation frenzy, such as more accurate, faster launch, more ammunition loading of new Gauss rifles, the same material consumption is not much, the cost is also cheap, suitable for the use of the defense army, there is also a land combat suspension tank vehicle program, and the defense military mass production space fighter program, etc., this series is the masterpiece of Noah 1's technicians, of course, these reconnaissance satellites are also their masterpieces......
"There are small energy fluctuations, the concentration of genesis particles increases, and there may be artificial intelligence in the ruins......"
“…… Defensive shipborne weapons were found, mostly intact ships were found, it was not clear if there were signs of life, fired, bad, satellites exploded......"
With the transmission of reconnaissance information from the front, immediately after, thirty Type 011 space fighters had already taken the lead in rushing straight away, almost rushing towards the half-intact ship that had launched the attack...... (To be continued)
