"As for that rebellion, dear Villagash, I solemnly express my most sincere apologies to you. It was because of my improper selection that I caused you such trouble. Fortunately, you dealt with it decisively. The rebellion was not allowed to expand.
Please rest assured that I will handle this matter properly.
During this time, within our civilization..."
The message from Speaker Zalan was long. In addition to expressing his attitude towards these incidents, he also made some reports to Villagash about the changes in the situation within the Moyun Litar civilization during this period.
Information about changes in the situation was directly handed over to people at the Academy of Social Sciences for processing. However, what worries Zhao Changxing and other civilization leaders is the fact that the Moyunli Tar civilization is about to send inspectors to the solar system.
Villagash was urgently summoned to Zhao Changxing.
At this moment, Villagash, who was wearing a lightweight spacesuit specially designed for the Moyun Litar people, was extremely respectful and humble in front of Zhao Changxing, and could not see any trace of his past.
"Leader." He first expressed his greetings to Zhao Changxing in human language, and then said: "I am very familiar with Senator Hofmann. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to call him my most direct political opponent. I am sure that He must have other missions when he comes this time."
Combining the political backgrounds of the two men, the leaders of human civilization immediately understood that this Hoffmann came here specifically to "find fault".
Suppress the value of Villagash's interstellar mining operation, create obstacles for this operation, and prevent Villagash from completing the mission perfectly. This will provide his own political faction with the opportunity to fight in the subsequent battles. The right to speak.
Along with Villagash's narration, all the information about Hofmannra, including his growth background, personality, acting style and other information were revealed one by one.
Zhao Changxing had no expression on his face and just listened carefully. The brows of the other civilized leaders slowly wrinkled, obviously feeling worried.
There is only one problem that people care about. That is, the arrival of Hofmann-Ra will inevitably lead to the exposure of these things that happened in the solar system and become known to the main body of the Moyun Litar civilization located in the Lalande 21185 galaxy. And this means the death of civilization.
In particular, because he is in a different political faction, this Hofmanra is bound to be extremely wary of Villagash after arriving in the solar system. This means that it may be difficult to assassinate him.
Even explicit killing may not work. Maybe this Hofmann will directly drive a battleship over, and its combat effectiveness may even exceed that of the Yuan Voyage spacecraft.
what to do?
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Changxing knocked on the table: "Vilagash, do you have any suggestions?"
Villagash also thought for a moment and then said: "I can reply to Speaker Zalan first and ask him to block the arrival of Hofmanra on the grounds of factional interests, no, block the issue of sending inspectors to the solar system. But I’m not sure that’s going to work.”
"Let's do this first."
"yes."
Follow-up messages were sent back quickly. Zhao Changxing knew that the reasons put forward by Villagash were very reasonable, because it was obvious that sending inspectors here was not in the interests of the left-behind faction. Speaker Zalan had reason to fight for this matter.
But the crux of the matter is that Speaker Zalan cannot possibly not know these things. He must have fought for this matter, but he still told Villagash about it, which meant that his fight probably had no effect.
The only thing that can be expected at this stage is that Villagash's own attitude will make Speaker Zalan more determined and stronger to stop this matter.
There will inevitably be a bloody political struggle within the Moyunlitar civilization, but all human civilization can do is just wait.
At this stage, you still have to do your own things well.
During this period, based on the technology obtained from the Yuanhang spacecraft, as well as the help of engineers, scientists and others from the Moyun Litar civilization, hibernation technology suitable for human civilization has gradually matured and passed a period of Separate tests for five years and ten years.
Hundreds of volunteers have successfully woken up after hibernating periods of varying lengths without major physical sequelae.
Although certain improvements are still needed in the future, even the most pessimistic people believe that hibernation technology will definitely be mature when the Yuan Voyage spacecraft sets sail in hundreds of years.
Therefore, the modification of the Yuanhang spacecraft was formulated on the premise of possessing hibernation technology. Specifically, a large amount of gravity-free space is left within the Yuanhang spacecraft, and artificial gravity is not transformed into this part of the space.
The reason is simple: gravity is not used during hibernation.
This will save a lot of engineering and time.
After capturing the Yuanhang spacecraft, people discovered that this spacecraft also did not have "gravity technology". Although it does not show a rotational structure on the outside, it actually has a rotational structure inside.
There are three huge "rollers" rotating inside it at all times to provide appropriate gravity for the people living inside.
Regarding the current transformation plan, people have decided to leave the three rollers alone for the time being and only make certain internal modifications to make them suitable for human survival.
These three rollers can probably support the survival of about 800,000 humans.
So Zhao Changxing made a decision on the future plan, that is, during the future voyage, only a maximum of 800,000 humans will be allowed to be awake, and the rest will all go into hibernation.
To this end, people need to build millions of hibernation chambers in the Voyage spacecraft - this is under the premise that mass production of babies through artificial wombs is suspended and only natural offspring are allowed.
If we let go of the horsepower and go all out to manufacture, when it really sets sail hundreds of years later, the number of humans who need to hibernate may reach tens of millions.
At this moment, the entire Sedna Star seemed to have turned into a huge construction site. There are standard resource boxes flying between the sky and the earth at all times, and several space elevators are fully loaded, continuously transporting a huge amount of materials. Various types of factories built underground, on the ground, and in low-Earth orbit are roaring all the time, producing various parts and components.
Resources from other dwarf planets, and the most important Jupiter system, are also arriving here continuously.
However, nearly 20 years after the restoration and transformation mission began, the actual restoration of the Yuan Voyage spacecraft has still not begun.
The reason is that human civilization is currently unable to produce materials, equipment or parts used to repair the Yuanhang spacecraft.
This requires specialized factories whose technical level is much higher than the current level of human craft production. However, building these factories is also not something that human factories at this stage are capable of.
The technology tree requires climbing bit by bit. Materials and processes also need to be upgraded bit by bit and cannot be achieved overnight.
During these 20 years, human civilization has built the first-generation factory, used the materials it produced to build the second-generation factory, and followed the same pattern to build the third-generation factory.
After several more years, the third-generation factory was finally ready for production. Therefore, it is not until this moment that human civilization has the ability to repair the Yuan Voyage spacecraft to a certain extent.
The reason why it is said to be to a certain extent is because even the materials produced by the third-generation factory cannot achieve the performance of the original parts of the Yuanhang spacecraft, and can only be "barely usable".
For example, the shell of the Yuanhang spacecraft.
It is an armed mining ship and also has certain combat capabilities. For this reason, its armor also requires special materials to be repaired, so that it can withstand the impact of interstellar dust clouds and certain interstellar debris during sub-light speed navigation, while also achieving relatively good battlefield survivability.
But now, the performance indicator of battlefield survivability has been directly cancelled. People just ask that it have enough radiation protection and interstellar dust impact resistance.
As for these third-generation factories, even the most elite scientists in human civilization actually have many things they don’t understand. People just created it under the guidance of Villagash and others, knowing it but not knowing why.
"This won't last long. It won't take long for us humans to really master these technologies."
Faced with this situation, Zhao Changxing could only think like this in his heart.
But Zhao Changxing did not expect that even if he had repeatedly lowered his requirements, just asking for the Yuanhang spacecraft to run, this requirement would now become a luxury.
One afternoon, during the repair and modification mission of the Yuanhang spacecraft, Zhuang Yunwei, the chief engineer of the human side, came to Zhao Changxing with a document in his hand and an ugly expression.
"Leader. Some problems have been exposed that we did not expect before. After the latest assessment, we have found that with our current technological level and engineering capabilities, we are likely to be unable to complete the task of repairing the Yuanhang spacecraft."
This statement surprised Zhao Changxing.
"Villagash and the others can't solve it either?"
"It can't be solved."
Zhuang Yunwei shook his head: "Villagash and the others don't know how to make some of the equipment, tools and parts. For example, some parts of the Yuanhang spacecraft's power propulsion system require heat resistance, tensile strength, etc. Performance, we simply can't create it.
The other part is that Villagash and others know how to make it, but the level of craftsmanship required is too high and too precise. Even with their guidance, we will not be able to have the manufacturing technology for hundreds of years. Such as superionic metals. "
