Hibernation arrangements have officially begun. According to the plan, among the total population of 200 million, except for the approximately 10 million necessary personnel on duty, the rest will all spend the next approximately 220 years of navigation in hibernation.
The choice of hibernating or waking up is still generally voluntary. Let people make their own choices first, and then the government will allocate them based on specific circumstances and figures, and finally achieve an appropriate ratio.
After preliminary statistics, as expected, the situation this time is still similar to the last interstellar voyage - the vast majority of people hope to spend this period of the voyage in hibernation, and only about 3 million people choose to voluntarily Spend time in sobriety.
Of course, such a small number of people is not enough. At this time, the government needs to come forward to make arrangements.
Of course, Zhao Changxing would not choose to force certain people to stay awake to deal with the daily operation and maintenance needs during the voyage. In fact, the government has many policy tools at its disposal when facing this situation, and can use softer means to solve this problem.
That is to increase the reward.
After discussions, the human government announced a reward detail, which significantly increased the salary and benefits of voluntary duty personnel. Of course, the specific reward details and benefits are slightly different depending on the position.
Because the number of personnel required for different positions is also different. For positions with larger gaps that require more people, the rewards will be greater to attract as many people as possible to sign up. If the gap is smaller, the reward will be smaller.
More than 100 million eligible people have chosen to participate in the on-duty program, with varying lengths and time periods chosen.
Along with this, there is also a corresponding rotation system. In other words, one person does not need to be on duty for the entire voyage. He can choose to wake up at a certain stage, be on duty for a year or ten years, and then go into hibernation.
Through this deployment method, someone finally voluntarily gave up a certain length of hibernation time and chose to stay awake for higher salary and benefits.
Some people choose to be on duty for five or ten years at the beginning of the voyage, and then sleep until the end of the voyage. Some people hope to feel the interstellar space, the emptiness far away from any stars or any macroscopic objects, and feel the vastness and magnificence of the universe, so they choose to wake up halfway through the voyage for a year or two, and then go to hibernate.
Some people also choose to wake up early in the last five or ten years before the end of the voyage, thus eliminating the hassle in the middle.
Of course, during certain "better" periods, welfare subsidies and salaries are lower, and during certain "worse" periods, subsidies are higher.
After some complicated statistics and arrangements, this work was finally completed.
In space, the huge spaceship like a starry sky beast began to devour the "crowd of people". Passenger spacecraft one after another began to travel to and from the surface of the planet, major space cities, major bases and other places, transporting countless people into the spacecraft one after another, and then guided them into the corresponding hibernation cabin area. Entered a deep sleep, until only a total of about 10 million people remained awake.
These ten million people were roughly evenly distributed among a total of 41 Yuanhang spacecrafts - the original Yuanhang spacecraft from the Moyunlitar civilization was now named Yuanhang No. 1, and the rest of the humans built new ones. The spaceships are respectively Yuanhang 2, 3, and Yuanhang 41.
There are about 240,000 people on duty in each Yuanhang spacecraft, responsible for the daily operation and maintenance of the spacecraft. The remaining approximately 70,000 people are all military personnel and possess professional military qualities.
They are assigned to a total of 40 aerospace carriers of various levels, and are also responsible for daily operation and maintenance, as well as combat readiness duties.
For security reasons, the human government believes that it is necessary to maintain a military force that can be used at any time, even during interstellar navigation.
At this moment, all the people who should go to hibernate are hibernating, and all the preparations have been completed. It is time to carry out the last work.
Eliminate as much as possible the traces left by human civilization in this star system.
There are many ground factories, space bases and other things that cannot be taken away.
A very simple and easy solution is to throw all the things that cannot be taken away directly into the stars.
However, after comprehensive consideration, this solution was still rejected. Scientists believe that heavy metals with a total mass of more than one trillion tons are enough to cause certain changes in the stellar atmosphere - of course, this change is extremely small, and even based on the technology of human civilization, it may not be detectable even if the accuracy is increased by a hundred times. But this may be a very simple thing for a super civilization.
At that time, through the abnormal increase in the abundance of heavy metal elements in the stellar atmosphere, super civilizations hundreds or even thousands of light-years away can deduce that "a civilization has dropped many heavy metals into the stellar atmosphere". On the contrary, it will Expose the existence of human civilization.
Might as well just leave them here. In this way, even a super civilization would need to come to this galaxy in person to find out the clues.
After a compromise between the two, the human government finally decided to simply let those space bases and the like crash directly onto the surface of the planet. Those bases left on the surface were simply blown up.
In this way, the possibility of tracking the whereabouts of humans through the data left by humans is also eliminated.
As a result, the factories, bases, plantations, space cities, etc. that had contributed so much to the flourishing development of human civilization and carried the lives of countless people met their fate of destruction.
On this day, each of these three huge planets was bombarded by war and suffered impacts from space.
Gas and dust rose into the sky, blocking out the sun. Huge craters are everywhere, and even volcanoes are stimulated, spewing out hot magma.
Especially on Planet No. 1, hundreds of space cities collided with the base, even triggering a tsunami.
After handling these matters, a "Mercury" class space carrier with the highest tonnage, the most advanced equipment, and the most powerful firepower among the military forces of human civilization at the moment released a 100,000-kilometer-long nano cable. Several robots were Under remote control, the original space shuttle ship was fixed.
This is the spacecraft that originally preserved the gravity bomb that human civilization obtained from the ruins of that super civilization.
Since arriving in the Lakai 9352 galaxy and being placed in a fixed orbit, people have almost ignored it. Now that he was about to leave, he took action against it for the first time.
It is worth mentioning that, in addition to these gravity bombs, the numerous wreckage was finally "saved" into a battleship.
If this battleship is classified according to its current levels, it can barely be called an "asteroid" class battleship.
Because it's too small.
The whole thing is pencil-shaped, like a cylinder and a cone put together, with a total length of less than a hundred meters. But in the actual classification of combat power, its combat power is comparable to the most advanced "Mercury" class spacecraft.
Its firepower is not strong enough, its maneuverability is average, and it is mediocre in every aspect, except for one thing that is worthy of praise.
Its defense is too strong. It's so strong that it's almost beyond people's understanding. However, this one advantage alone covers up the mediocrity in all other aspects, raising its level by one level.
Lasers, electromagnetic guns, electromagnetic interference bombs, interstellar missiles, etc., almost all weapons at the disposal of human civilization, even anti-matter bombs, are almost unable to cause damage to it.
——Theoretically, anti-matter bombs should be able to cause damage to it. Because as soon as antimatter touches positive matter, it will inevitably react with positive matter of equal mass and release energy. From this point of view, even if the explosion cannot damage you, directly contacting the outer shell of the spacecraft with one kilogram of antimatter will always take away one kilogram of the mass of the outer shell of the spacecraft and make a hole appear in it, right?
Of course, a theory is just a theory. In theory, it is indeed possible to damage and destroy it in this way, but in actual combat, this method almost never happens.
Because this involves the antimatter delivery mode. Obviously, antimatter needs to be bound by a strong magnetic field and needs a complete container. Only in this way can it be accelerated and released. And in this case, it will always be the container itself that reacts with the antimatter of the corresponding mass, not the outer shell of the spacecraft.
The antimatter had no chance of touching the outer shell of the spacecraft. In this way, even antimatter cannot damage it.
Its shell is pieced together from the remains of a super civilization, but everything else is made by human civilization itself. Therefore, it creates such a spacecraft with an extremely imbalanced offensive and defensive ends.
But obviously, it's also a treasure. In some special battlefield environments and with special tactics, this spacecraft may be able to play a role that an entire "Mercury" class main combat spacecraft formation cannot.
It has also been properly placed and will be taken to new galaxies.
At this moment, everything has been dealt with.
41 Yuanhang spacecraft, 40 space carriers with many combat spaceships of various levels parked, and an air and space transport ship that was dragged behind to carry those gravity bombs, a total of 82 spacecraft have been assembled.
On the Yuanhang No. 1 spacecraft, the temporary residence of the human civilization government, under the gaze of many civilization leaders and the waiting of tens of millions of people who were still awake, Zhao Changxing slowly issued the order.
"set sail!"
"set sail!"
"set sail!"
Hot and bright tail flames were ejected from the tail of almost every spacecraft in this huge fleet.
