308 Migrant Boats
"The First Fleet of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, set sail!" Fleet Commander Lu Jian took over the command and "moved forward at a slight pace." ”
The fourteen giant ships slowly accelerated, slowly flying away from the sky above the moon base, the thunder in the base, the inside of the ship was unusually calm, and the hundreds of thousands of people in the migrant ship all focused on the square, silently watching the hometown that was gradually drifting away.
"Give me access to the whole fleet of broadcasting rights, I have something to say." Lu Jian's angular face was full of determination.
"Yes!" The communications staff officer moved quickly, "The whole fleet is ready for broadcasting." ”
"Let's go." Lu Jian took a deep breath, "Compatriots...... No, folks, we are about to leave the earth, and there may be no possibility of returning from now on, and I believe that many of you, like me, have a bad heart. I don't want to comfort you, because there is no one to comfort me. I just want to say that we are leaving to defend our homeland and earth, to protect the motherland on the earth, and more importantly, to protect our Chinese nation! ”
Lu Jian, who was gradually entering the state, waved his arm fiercely: "The earth is too fragile, so fragile that a random group of invaders can destroy it, we can't let it experience danger again, we must keep the enemy out of the country and annihilate the enemy in the far sky!" More importantly, our fleet will bring the seeds of the Chinese nation out of the earth, out of the solar system, and into the distant starry sky, where they will germinate in an important way......"
The impassioned tone slowly attracted the attention of the people, and everyone looked at the general who made a passionate speech, and soon some of them began to whisper, why is this fleet commander only a rear admiral?
An insider immediately broke the news that not only the commander of the fleet, but also the captain of the North, Wu Ting, was also a rear admiral! Everyone who heard this sentence was in an uproar, this is too, right? For a giant ship like the North, even if the commander of the Celestial Army himself is also the captain, it is not surprising, why is the current captain a rear admiral?
Moreover, Lu Jian and Wu Ting are the only two rear admirals, the highest rank in the whole fleet.
If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, and various rumors began to circulate, saying that the fourteen fleets were all second-generation officials, and they came to gild when they joined the expeditionary force; It is also said that the officers and men of the expeditionary force are all excluded and cannot be retired; Some people also said that the level of the expeditionary force should not be too high, so as not to cause high-ranking military generals to lose the air.
There are various versions.
Soon the rumors reached the ears of the military, and Lu Jian, who had just finished his speech and had not taken a few breaths, had no choice but to stand up again to clarify the facts: "Fellow villagers, the military rank of the expeditionary force is generally low, because our military rank is not high. The giant ship of the expeditionary force appeared for the first time in the sequence of the Celestial Army, if the rank of the captain is too high, who will command the subsequent warships? Take the North as an example, the volume is indeed much larger than any previous aerospace carrier, but no matter how big it is, it is still an aerospace carrier, whether it is customary or by regulations, it is normal for a rear admiral to command a heavy aerospace carrier. As for me, as a commander, it is true that I am a high-ranking and low-ranking commander, but I also came out of dozens of major generals who applied to be the commander of the fleet, and I didn't go through any back doors......"
While Lu Jian's explanation attracted bursts of laughter, the rumors were self-defeating.
Although everyone did not spread it intentionally, rumors are as troublesome as a cold virus, and there are not many people on the migrant ship, most of them are military dependents, as long as it is not a military secret, there is no harm in explaining the issues that their own people care about, lest they worry about inconsequential minor issues.
The Earth grew smaller and smaller as the fleet moved away, and when it finally left the sight, the fleet fixed the sight of the Earth on all the big screens of the migrant ships.
Immediately, Lu Jian gave the order to speed up.
The speed of the fourteen giant spaceships soared, accelerating to a speed of 6,000 kilometers per second in just ten minutes, and the acceleration did not correspond to the size of the spacecraft at all.
Because of the timely adjustment of the artificial gravitational system, the inertia of acceleration is canceled out by gravity, so all the people on board, especially the people in the migrant boat, do not feel the slightest abnormality.
This was unthinkable before.
What makes people strange is that the fleet did not make jump flights, but remained in a regular flight state.
Soon after the fleets of the United States and Russia left the earth, they entered a state of leaping flight and disappeared directly into the universe.
More than ten hours later, another blue planet appeared in everyone's eyes, and everyone suddenly realized that the expeditionary force had arrived on Mars.
Could it be that Mars also has a group of immigrants?
In order not to affect the fleet's itinerary, the Martian side only arranged a brief welcome ceremony, and then handed over the two giant spacecraft floating in Martian synchronous orbit to the expeditionary force.
The people on the migrant ship are not clear, but all this has been arranged by the military a long time ago.
The two immigrant ships on Mars are not spaceships built by mechanical civilizations, but are made by real Saturn bases, and they are built at the same time as mechanical civilizations, except for the raptor-than-light engine from the friendly support of mechanical civilizations, all of which are completed by humans from the inside out.
I don't know if it's a technical reason, but the size of these two immigration spacecraft is much smaller than that of the Yuanwang and comparable to the Great Wall.
Two migrant ships were painted with large broadside numbers, one 001 and the other 002. The two of them followed silently behind the side of the Far Hope like two ghost ships.
In fact, these two spaceships are unmanned spaceships at all, which need to be remotely controlled by the controllers on the Yuanwang, and there are no immigrants on board, but 800,000 prisoners in a frozen state!
The traditional thinking of the Chinese stubbornly binds the thinking of the people, and the number of people willing to join the army of immigrants is very limited, and the vast majority of people are still in a wait-and-see state.
With the advent of faster-than-light engines, the search for new habitable planets and migration to the universe is an unstoppable trend, and if immigration plans are shelved because no one wants to join the immigration army, China will inevitably lag behind the United States and Russia again in the near future.
The number of immigrants is no longer a simple superficial issue, but a major event involving the number of people and future development, and even related to the life and death of the country and the nation.
Ordinary people who are reluctant to leave their homes have to find another way. Exiled prisoners exploited barren lands for a long time, so the political and legal departments amended some laws to change the punishment method for most criminal cases to exile immigrants.
However, for the sake of the safety of immigrants, criminals in major violent criminal cases involving human life such as murder are not included, and the vast majority of criminals are criminals with low harmfulness such as economic crimes.
