Chapter 55: The Pioneer Corps
The Giant is the flagship of this pioneering fleet, as a pioneering fleet, the needs of the flagship are completely different from those of the combat fleet, and the command center on the Giant not only has to deal with navigation and combat information, but also to adjust and organize the development work.
Therefore, the command center of the development fleet is extremely large, with dozens of departments crammed together, with a total number of more than 10,000 people.
From the moment it left the faster-than-light state, the entire Giant was busy, and the personnel who woke up from the hibernation pod, after a simple recovery, quickly returned to their posts.
As personnel are in place, departments are up and running, countless instruments are activated, and the vast amount of information collected is quickly aggregated into the command center, displayed or projected on various screens and areas.
"Optical detector start-up ......."
"Tachyon probe start-up ......."
"Remote sensing system start-up ......."
"The energy shield is normal, the engine power is normal, the air circulation system of frigate No. 2 is malfunctioning, the oxygen content has dropped, and the backup engine ...... has been turned on."
One by one, the information was summarized to the command center and fed into Li Chonglou's ears.
Li Chonglou, who was wearing a straight uniform, but with an open chest and back, gray hair and beard, but a resolute face, rubbed his shoulders and waist while snorting.
It can be seen from the exposed chest and back that Li Chonglou's muscles are very strong, but his skin has lost its luster and elasticity, and it is obvious that he has entered the aging period.
The skin stops abruptly at the point of the left arm, replaced by a metallic bionic arm.
Li Chonglou is the commander of this pioneering fleet, and he is already two hundred and thirty years old this year.
From a hundred years ago. When he entered the stage of two hundred years old, he began to clearly feel that his life force was passing rapidly, and he was becoming more and more unable to do anything.
In order to prolong their own life. In the past 100 years, he has often gone into a dormant state, hoping that the future life science and technology can make heavy breakthroughs and continue to extend his life.
However, a hundred years have passed, and there is no sign of a major breakthrough in life science and technology, but the average life expectancy of human beings has increased from 120 years to 128 years.
Scaling up to a mere eight years old to a huge human population base is already a remarkable achievement. It means that in the past 100 years, medical technology and life science have made great progress.
But this does not mean anything to Li Chonglou. He is two hundred and thirty years old, and his lifespan far exceeds the average human lifespan.
Rubbing his sore shoulders and waist, Li Chonglou couldn't feel any signs of relief for a long time: "Alas... It's really old.... ”
In the past, when I was young, I woke up half an hour and was relieved. After a few rubs, it immediately comes alive. How could it be like this.
This is not the aging of the body, his body no longer knows how many times it has been activated, even if it is pulled to test now, all the indicators are stronger than normal young people.
But why is it becoming more and more inadequate? Is there really a limit to human lifespan?
While thinking about it, a pair of cool little hands were attached to the back of his shoulders and gently pressed for him, and the comfort brought by professional techniques was much more comfortable than Li Chonglou's own press.
Li Chonglou didn't have to look back to know who it was. I exhaled and put on a more comfortable posture to enjoy.
Helping Li Chonglou pinched was a sweet-looking female officer. The tight-fitting uniform was worn on her body, outlining the perfect curves, and the two lumps on her chest were almost bursting out, while the small waist was as thin as if it could be held with one hand.
After pinching for a while, the sweet female officer asked softly, "Sir, are you more comfortable?" ”
"Mmmm, it's much more comfortable, Xiaoyue's gestures are getting better and better." Having said that, Li Chonglou's face didn't feel too relaxed, and the physical pinching brought more psychological comfort, and it didn't relieve his fatigue much.
But Xiao Yue behind him couldn't see his expression, and thought that what he said was true, so he suddenly pressed harder and harder.
While pressing, Xiao Yue asked, "Sir, this place is so far from our home, is there anything worth exploring?" Do you need to send such a large pioneer group? The destination has arrived, can it be decrypted? ”
In order to maintain secrecy, only a few personnel knew about the destination and goal of the expedition, and everyone was forbidden to talk about the destination until they left the star field connected by the star network.
The information here was bought at a cost of tens of billions of dollars, and the expenses and material preparation of the Pioneer Corps were hundreds of times as much, and if they leaked out, even if the money would not be wasted, it would be a headache for other forces to compete for food.
After leaving the star field covered by the Star Network, the gag order is not so strict, and even if someone knows the destination coordinates at this time, there is no way to pass it on.
It's just that most of the people are dormant, and until this time, the vast majority of people don't know where they came here.
With such a long distance, such a huge investment, and no corresponding value of benefits, who will smash in trillions?
Xiaoyue's full name is Wu Yue, and she is Li Chonglou's life adjutant, responsible for taking care of Li Chonglou's daily life and solving his life and even physical needs.
Of course, Wu Yue's age is too young, she is only twenty-three years old this year, and before she grows up, Li Chonglou no longer has that sex, and there is no need to solve the physiological aspect.
As the adjutant of Wu Yue's life, he only knew that the destination of this trip was hundreds of light-years away from the Human Federation. If you set out from Earth, it will take ten years to sail.
With such a long distance, what is worth investing so much?
This is not only Wu Yue's doubts, but also the doubts of all the uninformed high-level leaders of the pioneer group.
Li Chonglou closed his eyes, and he didn't know whether to enjoy Wu Yue's gesture or think about something, so he said for a long time: "You can attend the meeting later, and then you will know what our goal is, the dream of the emperor through the ages, ......."
A big question mark jumped in Wu Yue's heart: The dream of the emperor through the ages? What does it have to do with the emperor?
She didn't understand why Li Chonglou would express such feelings, with Li Chonglou's identity, what was the emperor in his eyes?
Who is Li Chonglou? The second largest shareholder of Panlong Group.
Panlong Group is the second largest chaebol in the Federation, with trillions of assets, 132 galaxies, 14,000 mineral planets, 42 colonial stars, and 12 billion members of the group.
Li Chonglou is the second largest shareholder, it can be said that he is under one person, above hundreds of millions of people, and the resources and population in his hands are not comparable to those of a mere emperor.
Even if Li Chonglou really wants to be the emperor and find a remote planet to restore the imperial system, as long as he doesn't shout in the Federation, no one will care about him.
Li Chonglou has lived a more luxurious life than the emperor all his life, but he suddenly has such a feeling, no wonder Wu Yue will be inexplicable.
Half an hour later, the captains and lieutenants of the various large warships came to the flagship one after another, and the meeting finally began.
Wu Yue, who attended this kind of high-level meeting for the first time, sat on the chair in the corner, fidgeting and twisting her buttocks.
Although she has the identity of an officer, she is just a small domestic servant trained by the family, majoring in some serving skills, mixed in a bunch of battle-hardened, murderous captain and lieutenants, and she is not comfortable in mixing.
However, these uncomfortable things disappeared without a trace not long after the meeting began, and only a shocked expression on his face was that he couldn't close his mouth. And the captains and officers around him who had been through a hundred battles and killed people like numb, their expressions were no different from those on Wu Yue's face.
A video is projected in the center of the conference room, and at the center of the image, Luo Qiu stands on a pile of corpses, roaring silently, surrendering to the ground on a messy battlefield.
Then the picture turned, Luo Qiu appeared and disappeared in the air, chasing the wolf of the Yuanwang until it was out of the atmosphere, it was not until it was shattered by the laser cannon, which was the scene when the Yuanwang was fighting fiercely with Luo Qiu.
The image stops at this point, and then an area of the image is extracted, zoomed in, and finally fills the entire projection area.
This adjusted area is a skeleton on the ground, and its body is magnified and presented in front of everyone, giving everyone a very familiar feeling.
Everyone in the room couldn't help but whisper, and these voices finally converged into one: "This is human? ”
