"You mean, start now?"

"Obviously, escape is a process, and even if we were well prepared, it would not be possible to get everyone to leave the Southern Alpha system on the escape ship at the same time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Yu Hongxing was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Even if you are fully prepared, and it will take at least ten years to start at the same time in various places." Of course, this is still the best case scenario. If there is an accident, and there is bound to be an accident, for example, not everyone is willing to leave their homes, and not everyone will follow our commands, so it actually takes more time. ”

"How long will it take?"

"Fifteen years, maybe twenty years. These are estimates and may not be accurate. Of course, we have a plan in place for every eventuality. While our goal is to save everyone, our ultimate goal is to preserve human civilization. If the situation gets out of control, we can only give up a part of the people. Yu Hongxing let out a long breath before saying, "This is no way. ”

"So, how long will it take to be fully prepared?"

"For a long time."

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, but he didn't ask, waiting for Yu Hongxing to continue.

"According to the original plan, it would take us at least 50 years to complete the preliminary preparations, and all of our work was carried out according to this plan. Only now, apparently, it is not possible. We weren't able to get help from the Arctic Clan, and we weren't able to get to the Center. Relying only on this little resource in the North Fourth District, it is impossible to complete the preparatory work in 50 years. Because most of the star systems have been overrun by the enemy, and many planets have been destroyed, the situation is even worse than previously thought. Yu Hongxing paused for a moment before he said, "According to our current estimates, and under a relatively ideal scenario, such as if we recover those star systems occupied by the enemy in time, then we will need about two hundred years. If the situation is even worse, such as if we are not able to recover those star systems in time, and the environment of too many planets is difficult to recover in a short period of time, then it will be difficult to estimate how long we will need. To put it simply, I don't know how long it will take to finish, maybe hundreds, maybe thousands. ”

Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully, his expression was very solemn.

Yu Hongxing sighed again, but did not continue, he said it clearly enough.

"Obviously, there is no need for us to wait any longer, that is, not to wait until all the preparations are in place to start the operation. Like you said, you don't know how much time you'll need to get ready for it, so we obviously can't afford to waste that time. ”

"But ......"

"As you have said, our ultimate goal is to preserve human civilization, not to save everyone, and we do not have the ability to do so."

Yu Hongxing smiled bitterly and sighed, and shook his head, looking very distressed.

"If we start now, when will we be able to build the first escape ship and have it carry our people out of the Southern Alpha system?"

"Soon."

"How fast?"

Yu Hongxing hesitated for a moment before he said: "Although we have a lot of information from the Second Age, including the technology to build a fugitive spaceship, but in the past few thousand years, we have never built such a huge and complex spaceship, so after making a decision, we not only started to sort out these materials, but also began to build the first fugitive spaceship, mainly to understand the possible troubles in the construction process through practical operations, and to train skilled workers to lay the foundation for a large number of future construction." The ship is at our base camp, and it's almost finished. Therefore, you can use it whenever you need it. ”

"So, I'll have to go over and take a look."

Yu Hongxing didn't object, after all, he couldn't control where Yang Yi wanted to go.

It's just that Yang Yi didn't do it himself, but after leaving the Federation Star, Yu Hongxing opened a space passage on his behalf.

Of course, it is not difficult to go to the base camp of the Yu family.

Although he didn't leave for long, the Yu family's base camp became almost unknown to Yang Yi. Don't forget, before killing King Mingyan and going to find the holy weapon of the Kunyang clan, Yang Yi came back once, and also went to the Yu family's base camp, where he arranged tasks for Yu Minghui and others.

Now, this place is a huge factory, or industrial area.

Of course, the most conspicuous thing is not the scattered factories, but the spaceports that have expanded dozens of times in size. Because this is just a space debris and there are not many resources, all kinds of materials needed by the factory need to be obtained from the outside world, and they have to be sent back by the spacecraft.

Obviously, the size of the spaceport is determined by the industrial productivity here.

In addition, the number of people who live and work here is dozens of times that of Yang Yi's last arrival, and most of them are workers recruited by the Yu family outside.

The getaway ship was not in the spaceport and could not dock, mainly because it was too big.

When Yu Hongxing arrived with Yang Yi, Yu Minghui also rushed over with several main persons in charge of the Yu family.

During this time, Yu Minghui has stayed here to organize production work, almost never left, and even handed over the affairs of the federal authorities to others to deal with.

The escape ship is indeed extremely large, it looks like an asteroid from a distance, and it is even more shocking when you get closer.

In fact, it's an asteroid.

According to Yu Hongxing's introduction, they used the technology of the Second Age, but they did not fully adopt it, but adjusted it according to the actual situation. To put it simply, the main body of this escape ship is an iron asteroid. After the capture, the Jade family's engineers first melted all the meteorite inside by high temperature, and rebuilt it according to the ship's architecture, thus saving a lot of resources and time. The next thing to do is to install various equipment and facilities inside the spaceship, so that the spaceship has almost permanent sailing capabilities. The key is a large-scale energy converter that provides energy and an ecosphere system that sustains the environment, and these are the two most difficult projects.

"According to the agreement, the Extreme Realm will provide the technology to build a large origin energy converter, as well as related engineering personnel. Prior to this, some Arctic engineers had already arrived to help us with the preliminary work, which was to redesign the ship's power compartment. It's just that after the route was cut off, it was difficult for us to get the support of the Extreme Realm Clan, and at most we could only get some technical assistance. Yu Hongxing paused slightly, and then said, "Of course, this problem is not serious, and we have already found a solution." To put it simply, it is to use the holy artifact as the core component, and then use the technical support of the Extreme Realm Clan to create equipment for storing and using the original energy. Prior to this, we had completed our early acceptance tests, proving that the Hallows could propel fugitive ships to the speed of light. ”

Yang Yi was slightly stunned and said, "The problem is that only in the stellar system is the holy weapon valuable. After leaving the star system, the Hallows may not work properly. ”

"We took that into account."

"Really?"

Yu Hongxing nodded and said, "The solution is also very simple, which is to let the escape ship reach the speed of light before leaving the Southern Alpha System, and then turn off the holy weapon and let the spacecraft sail by inertia." Of course, energy is needed to sustain the biosphere system, and the solution we have in mind is to use fusion nuclear energy. To this end, we have already started to collect raw materials for fusion nuclear energy, and we have solved almost all related problems. ”

"So, have any other questions?"

"Actually, the biggest problem is the biosphere system." Yu Hongxing sighed before he said, "Although we have obtained the information of the Second Age, and we also know that the biosphere system created by the scientists of the Second Age can indeed operate for tens of thousands of years, according to the technology we have now, we can only replicate a similar biosphere system at most. In other words, we can guarantee that the biosphere system will last for 10,000 years, but we can't guarantee that it will work longer. We've done some testing, but there are still a lot of issues that haven't been resolved. As it stands, the only solution to this problem is to build a larger escape ship with the necessary industrial facilities and materials to build the biosphere system, so that the damaged and aging parts can be replaced with newly manufactured parts on the way out. The problem was that due to the limitations of industrial capacity, it was impossible for us to build a larger escape ship, so we came up with the idea of planetary modification, which is to create a completely enclosed and environmentally suitable world inside a planetary-level celestial body. ”

"And then?"

"Of course, the biggest problem with transforming the fugitive planet is that we don't have a way to accelerate a planet-level object to the speed of light in the Southern Alpha System for the time being. While we've thought of some options, such as using more Hallows, there are still a lot of issues that haven't been solved, and the ones we've come up with haven't been tested. In other words, it is uncertain whether it will work. ”

Yang Yi let out a long breath and said, "What about this spaceship?" ”

"The basic construction is complete, all that is needed is to load up the resources needed to escape, such as fusion nuclear raw materials, and all kinds of renewable materials. Of course, it is also necessary to carry fugitives. We were able to complete all the preparations within a month as long as needed. ”

"So, let's get ready."

Yu Hongxing was slightly stunned and looked at Yu Minghui next to him.

"Now?"

"Yes, now." Yang Yi nodded and said, "Supplies are not a problem, you can solve them." The key is the fugitives, and you are solely responsible for this. I don't have any explicit requirements, just to make sure that if these people are lucky enough to reach a star system and survive there, they are capable enough to rebuild human civilization and thrive in their new homeland. ”

"This ......"

"Of course, they need a commander-in-chief."

Yu Minghui was slightly stunned, and then noticed that Yang Yi was staring at him.
