Time passed quickly. Since the departure of the TOS civilization, 20 years have passed again, and the trial voyage of all large carriers is gradually coming to an end.
After a while, people will officially set off to bid farewell to this familiar star region. Various resource reserves are constantly moving upward through the space elevator. The warehouses of rare earth, nuclear fuel, organic matter and conventional materials are all fully arranged.
In this case, both adults and children are looking forward to moving towards the distance again and eager to contact other interstellar civilizations.
In the Spring Festival of the last year, fireworks twinkled, and bright little suns twinkled over the planet. Human beings are rich enough to set off fireworks with hydrogen bombs... And this kind of hydrogen bombs can show all kinds of strange colors. We are very happy.
The party before departure is naturally very lively. The chorus, singer casino and sketch crosstalk always make people feel more than they can chew.
A party with more than enough meaning is a party with taste!
Next, a grand voting ceremony appeared on the planet. In fact, it was no special event, mainly to name the six new generation giant motherships.
For this matter, the people broke out with high voting enthusiasm!
One of the Titan class giant motherships, which can accommodate a population of 50 million, was named "departure", which was named from the beginning and will not be changed. This name means a new journey after the new human civilization has become a fourth level civilization, and also reposes people''s beautiful expectations for the future.
So the people have the right to name five other spaceships.
However, after the vote, a funny thing happened. One of them, named "Pipi shrimp", actually got the highest turnout!
The relevant personnel of the government department can only promise with their nose, and one of the star carrier class carriers is named "Pipi shrimp".
But soon, more people began to complain about the damn name, because they felt that they might live on the "Pipi shrimp" for most of their life. It sounded too ugly! It''s really awful!
Even some people have moved to the spaceship. As soon as they heard that their beloved home was named "Pipi shrimp", they immediately blew up.
"The ship we live in, whatever the rest of you do! Why should our ship be named Pipi shrimp! We absolutely disagree, resolutely disagree! "
So they began to protest loudly and voted to change their names... The number of people who jointly changed their names reached one million hours in one day!
This "voting accident" was also regarded as a negative teaching material and written in the newspaper. Its title became - "damn democracy"!
In a word, after some twists and turns, all the names were determined, namely the "departure" interstellar Titan ship
And five star carrier class spacecraft such as "East", "Renaissance", "Shenzhou", "progress" and "future"!
These names sound quite serious and even a little boring, but basically people can accept them and won''t have too many objections.
"... Hello, audience friends. The ''departure'' interstellar Titan class spacecraft can accommodate the normal life of 50 million people. It is the economic, scientific research, education and industrial center of the whole civilization."
"The remaining interstellar carrier class spacecraft can accommodate a population of 20 million respectively and have certain industrial capacity and military combat effectiveness. At present, the total population of the new human civilization is insufficient, and each aircraft carrier class spacecraft has only installed more than 10 million, and the population scale still has room to rise to a certain extent. "
"Ten million people can maintain all aspects of the spacecraft. In the next few hundred years, the population will increase slowly until it reaches 150-200 million people. "
"After that, we may try to build our own Planetary Fortress..."
"Scientists are also studying the technology related to Planetary Fortress. We are basically mature in other technologies, and the key is the planetary warp speed... "
On the roadside digital screen, these new motherships are introduced everywhere. The residential population above has been carefully arranged, corresponding to the six underground cities currently owned by mankind, just one city and one spaceship.
People''s daily life will not be greatly affected.
If divided according to military strength, all spacecraft are divided into five categories.
The first is the Titan class, that is, the largest curvature spacecraft that humans can build. All kinds of materials and technologies have reached the existing limits.
The cost and cost of building Titan class spacecraft are very high, so people only built one. It''s too troublesome and unnecessary.
The second is the aircraft carrier class, that is, a giant spacecraft capable of carrying 20 million people. This kind of spacecraft can carry a large number of people, can also fight, and has the combat capability of price comparison.
Then there are cruising class, expulsion class and escort class ships. These numbered ships are curvature ships, which can carry a large number of soldiers and are also the storage point of UAVs.
The smaller is the curvature UAV, that is, the cellular attack community, which is very expensive.
Then there is the ordinary UAV. Because of its small size and low cost, the ordinary UAV is an assault Death Squadron.
The energy device of this kind of small UAV is still ordinary nuclear fusion. It obtains a large initial speed through the electromagnetic ejection of the mother ship. Due to the low cost, it can produce as much as it wants. They are usually loaded with high-powered missiles and earn money by hitting each other at close range.
In addition, some electronic jamming spacecraft, early warning spacecraft, reconnaissance spacecraft and so on. Basically, the human military system is like this, multi-level and multi-dimensional.
A total of 320 spaceships, large and small, with levels and numbers, have reached a reasonable range that human civilization and economy can bear at present.
If we add more spaceships, we will have to recruit a large number of troops, and increase the maintenance cost, which is not unbearable, but it is not very worthwhile in a peaceful state.
After this simple spring festival, the next step is to go far away. In the captain''s office of the departure, an expedition ceremony is being held. The captain is in front of the TV to introduce matters related to the first long-distance warp speed voyage.
"... ladies and gentlemen, our next target is Tabby, about 400 light-years from our current position. If calculated at three times the speed of light, it will take about 133 years. "
"... but we can''t always drive at the highest speed. It may take a little more time, maybe about 200 years."
"Because we are the first long distance voyage, we need to debug the fleet''s flight process throughout the whole process. If the middle planet passes, we will not investigate it without any special reason, and reach the end point at a stretch."
Captain Feng Zichen''s introduction is quite colloquial. Even if he doesn''t have enough professional knowledge, he can understand it.
The female captain''s achievements over the years are quite good, the reform is also good, and her personal ability is also good. Therefore, she has been re elected, and the members of the Scientific Council have no objection.
At present, the theoretical life span of new human civilization is nearly 700 years, and that of conventional personnel is about 500 years. Therefore, the captain can be elected every 50 years, up to four times. The total term of office of 200 years is enough for a captain to do a lot of things, on the premise that his ability is enough.
Because of the inner-party election and the peaceful transition of power, there will basically be no bloody incidents such as party disputes.
Every era has its own style, and in this new era, people have survived many hardships and experienced a sinking accident, but they have become more confident and more radical than ever before.
The whole civilization has stayed in this place for too long. It should go out and contact more civilizations, and people are willing to accept the new development strategy.
