Earth Era

For Xiao Yun, making the decision to "return to the Raqqa Galaxy" was a very difficult decision. What he experienced in the Raqqa Galaxy has become a nightmare that haunts Xiao Yun throughout his life. It is like a wound that has been sealed, and it still makes Xiao Yun feel waves of pain. But... Xiao Yun knew that only by opening the wound again and releasing the pus inside the wound could the scar truly heal.

After forty years of waiting and still no result, Xiao Yun chose to face the matter bravely. In addition, the challenge letter also directly involved Xiao Yun, which made Xiao Yun unable to escape from any aspect.

After finally making this decision, Xiao Yun immediately relaxed. So Xiao Yun's mind quickly calmed down, and then he fell into sleep.

He slept very peacefully, and the nightmare that had plagued Xiao Yun for many days did not appear. After dawn, Xiao Yun came to the Deep Space Security Investigation Bureau again and expressed his thoughts to the two investigators.

The investigator said: "Just last night, the head of state's proposal to send an Earth-class spacecraft to the Raqqa system was approved by the voting meeting. The final decision was to send an Earth-class spacecraft and fifteen Ocean-class spacecraft. Two hundred Everest-class spacecraft and two thousand Taishan-class spacecraft are going there. The total force of this expedition will be as high as three million people, so having one more person like you is not a big deal."

Another investigator added: "In fact, the head of state himself also has the intention to let you participate in this expedition, because the current intelligence shows that you have many connections with things in the Raqqa galaxy, and there may be some interest in letting you participate in this expedition." Unexpected effect. However, the head of state's think tank team took into account what you encountered in the Raqqa galaxy and believed that your current mentality is not suitable for participating in this expedition, so they finally rejected the head of state's proposal. But now that you If you take the initiative to make this request, then there will be no problem. You can go back to arrange your own affairs and do some preparations. We will report it to the higher authorities right now. If it is quick, your request will be approved by the evening. "

"Thank you." Xiao Yun nodded and expressed his gratitude to the two people, "Making this decision is a very difficult thing for me, but... I think I can no longer escape. , whether it is for my future life or for the machine life that may threaten our entire human civilization, I will make this trip."

"Very good," the investigator said. "Good luck."

The matter was settled simply like this. Just as the investigator said, Xiao Yun received the notice in the evening and immediately set off from the Earth to the Neptune Deep Space Voyage Base to prepare for departure. At this moment, there are already fifty Taishan-class spacecraft and ten Everest-class spacecraft at the Neptune Deep Space Voyage Base, and one Ocean-class spacecraft is waiting to set off.

This total of sixty-one spacecraft will first go to the Sirius galaxy, where they will join all the other spacecraft participating in the expedition, and then head to the Raqqa galaxy together. Counting all the spacecraft mobilization and the time spent on interstellar voyages, this expedition will take a total of more than twenty years.

Life in the interstellar era is like this. For people today, it is common to spend several or more than ten years on a trip, let alone an interstellar expedition that spans dozens of light years. .

After the head of state signed this order, the huge government machinery began to operate. In just one galaxy in the solar system, at least tens of millions of people were affected by this order. Soldiers began to gather at the deep space voyage base, engineers began to conduct pre-war maintenance on the spacecraft, and logistics personnel began to mobilize resources needed for combat and survival... Many, many people began to get busy, and Xiao Yun was just among the tens of millions. Just one of the people.

But compared to the entire human civilization, no, just compared to the population living in the entire solar system, these tens of millions are only a very small part. These tens of millions of people have been affected, but there are hundreds of times as many people as these tens of millions of people who are completely unaware of this matter. People still live according to their usual trajectory, living, working, leisure, entertainment...

Human civilization is too big and the population is too large.

It is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light within a star system, so it took Xiao Yun almost a month to get from Earth to the Neptune Deep Space Voyage Base. Because of the signing of the previous order, a large number of people have gathered in the entire Neptune base. The dullness of the past in the base has been swept away, and it has become noisy and prosperous. If most of the people coming and going weren't wearing military uniforms, Xiao Yun would have thought he was in a lively market somewhere.

Xiao Yun found the captain of the Ocean-class spaceship with his employment letter. Under the captain's arrangement, Xiao Yun was assigned a room for daily life, and was temporarily assigned as an "intelligence analysis staff officer" title. However, due to the special nature of Xiao Yun's identity, the captain did not assign him specific tasks. For the captain, his mission is only to bring Xiao Yun to the Sirius galaxy, and then hand him over to the captain of the only Earth-class spacecraft in this expedition. Xiao Yun’s specific work tasks will be determined by the Earth The captain of the class spacecraft will make arrangements.

The captain of the Earth-class spacecraft is named Emerk. He is also the true commander-in-chief of the expedition. All personnel and spaceships participating in the expedition must be controlled and commanded by Emerk.

This is the true high-level person in human civilization. In name, his level is even higher than the top administrator of a star system. After all, human civilization now occupies dozens of star systems, but there are only three Earth-class battleships.

For such a big man to personally lead thousands of combat spaceships and millions of soldiers to the Raqqa galaxy is enough to show that the human civilization government attaches great importance to this incident.

Of course, Xiao Yun knew very well that in the face of a possible robot empire that could infinitely copy itself... no matter how high it was, it could not be overemphasized. After all, it is a terrifying existence that can destroy an entire civilization and even occupy an entire river system... (To be continued ~^~)
