Chapter 278 Goodbye, I Won’t See You Off

Three days later, Qi Yiming sent a dozen people who occupied the core area to a small colony spacecraft as agreed.

A total of more than 70,000 people asked to leave together, and no one tried to stop them.

Since they wanted to die, no matter how others persuaded them, it would be useless.

As for Qi Yiming, he had long lost confidence in these people.

Instead, he felt that losing these people would be a good thing for the current human society.

Without the incitement of these people, coupled with Fang Min's appropriate propaganda, everyone began to work hard.

Because everyone knew that in order to survive in the hands of the Zerg, in addition to having high-end combat power like the Xuefeng, ordinary warships were also needed.

Before achieving energy freedom, humans can only rely on stock resources to survive.

After achieving energy freedom, if the military power is not developed, the next time they encounter the Zerg, they may not be as lucky as this time.

According to the current fleet's findings, it will take a few years for the industrial spacecraft to complete the initial construction work.

As time goes by, the fleet will gradually have complete industrial manufacturing capabilities, and the living environment on the colony spacecraft will be greatly improved.

Perhaps it won't be long before the people Qi Yiming brought out will adapt to this living state.

To be more extreme, children born after this will not even have the slightest memory of life on the surface.

As long as the emotions of this part of the human race are stabilized, Qi Yiming believes that time will help him smooth everything out.

A year later, the fleet met with the advance fleet waiting at the rest point.

It was already the tenth year since Qi Yiming led humans to completely leave the human territory.

Since achieving energy freedom, Qi Yiming has also changed the policy of forced hibernation.

Previously, some people were required to enter forced hibernation because energy was limited and it was impossible to provide more people with the necessary living supplies, so some ordinary people could only be put into the hibernation capsule.

However, now, unless voluntarily, no one will be forced to enter hibernation.

As for the humans who were forced to hibernate in advance, Qi Yiming chose to make the best of a bad situation.

These people don't have to worry about long-term hibernation and forming a serious gap with society after being awakened.

Because the people who are forced to hibernate are randomly selected by the ship-borne intelligent brain based on the community as the smallest unit.

And when they wake up, they wake up in a community at a time.

This operation allows most people to still live in a relatively familiar environment after waking up, so that they can quickly integrate into the new social environment.

After Qi Yiming solved the problem of ideological unity, he had already thought of entering the hibernation capsule.

It was not that he was afraid of death, but he wanted to live to the day of the decisive battle with the Zerg.

After all, a voyage of more than 3,000 light years would take thousands of years even if the fleet was constantly making jumps.

For humans, whose average life expectancy is about 300 years, thousands of years of interstellar navigation is still an unbridgeable gap.

He planned that the core members would take turns to enter a dormant state to survive this long voyage.

Although the humans in the evacuation fleet had a preliminary centripetal force and had just eliminated some people who had illusions about the Zerg, Qi Yiming was still a little worried, fearing that there would be unrest within the fleet during his hibernation.

He felt it was necessary to organize a meeting of core members to unify their thoughts again.

Soon Qi Yiming's core team was called together.

"This time, I called everyone here to arrange for a rotation of hibernation." Qi Yiming glanced at the people who had already taken their seats and said.

"Do we have to hibernate too?" Wang Sen looked at Qi Yiming in surprise.

"If you think you can live until we reach our destination, it doesn't matter if you don't sleep." Ye Lu looked at Wang Sen with a smile.

"The sleep order is easy to talk about. The most important thing is the problem of unified thinking."

"Thought? What's there to worry about?" Wang Sen still did not hide his political shortcomings: "What do you say, we will do it soon?"

Qi Yiming smiled and did not explain much, but continued: "Our core team must have two members in the awake state at each time."

Qi Yiming looked at everyone's face, only He Zhenzhu frowned, but then relaxed.

"This arrangement is not a sign of distrust of everyone, but a precaution... I believe everyone is aware of the uncertainty of human nature. Anything can happen during such a long deep space voyage. In order to avoid unnecessary internal friction, I hope everyone can understand this arrangement."

Wang Shuhua coughed, stood up from his seat and said: "I support the head of state's arrangement. Not only that, the two people in the awake state must supervise each other and keep an eye on each other..."

Qi Yiming smiled and shook his head and said: "Brother Wang's idea is a bit extreme. After several battles with the Zerg, I believe everyone is clear about the current situation of mankind, so there is no need to keep an eye on each other. It just requires that when making major decisions, two people must be present at the same time, and both people must agree to execute them."

"When do we start hibernation?" Fang Min had no opinion on Qi Yiming's arrangement. He was just worried that he still had a lot of things to sort out. If he went into hibernation now, there might be trouble in the internal affairs of the fleet.

"Mr. Fang, I know what you are worried about." Qi Yiming stood up and walked towards Fang Min: "You and Wang Sen will not be in hibernation for the time being. The fleet is currently in a construction period. At the current construction speed, this period will last about 50 to 80 years."

Qi Yiming quickly put forward his thoughts.

Qi Yiming's arrangement is very simple. Each group has two people. The two people will work in a state of awakening for 100 to 150 years. This time is mainly calculated based on personal age. The older people will work for a relatively shorter time, while the younger ones will work the opposite.

As for Wang Sen and Fang Min, they will be the first group on duty. Their tasks are very clear, which is to sort out the construction work of the fleet before hibernation.

After all, one of them is responsible for logistics construction work, and the other is responsible for coordinating the governance of the internal order of the fleet.

Qi Yiming's requirement for them is that when they enter the hibernation capsule, the logistics work and social order of the fleet can operate on their own, and the people who replace them only need to deal with some daily affairs.

As for the command of the combat fleet, Qi Yiming is not too worried.

Because all the supplies of the warships were in the hands of two duty personnel, the daily escort work fleet operated freely and maturely. If they encountered a swarm of insects, they could perform an emergency awakening procedure on Qi Yiming and his men.

Although emergency awakening would hurt the body, it was better than waiting and wasting life.

What Qi Yiming didn't expect was that there was a deviation when the hibernation plan just started.
