I Really Didn’t Want to Be the Savior Chapter 623: The Age of Sleep
Op Downer sat in the command bay of Ship Six, his hands firmly on the operating ball.
A fine arc of light continues between his palm and the sphere.
In front of him is a huge simulated projection of the entire battleship.
The tetradent-shaped Ship VI consists of four main components.
Three combat side cabins located in three outer directions, and a cabin in the middle.
These four components are all symmetrical cone-shaped octahedron structures.
The total length of the three side cabins is twelve kilometers, and the length of the main cabin is sixteen kilometers.
Three side cabins surround the main cabin in an equilateral triangle and are connected to each other by rigid galleries.
The No. 6 ship has a full crew of 20,000 people, 3,000 people in each of the three side cabins, and more than 10,000 people in the more fully functional main cabin.
The main combat sections in Ship Six fall into five categories.
First, the blasting device represented by the fragmentation bomb.
Second, the super cannon represented by the median real energy beam cannon that can shake the law of triple space.
Third, a huge number of finger-sized fully intelligent miniature combat robots. These robots have developed the microstructure to the extreme. They have both the ability of curvature flight and jump flight with a very small body size. At the same time, they can use the self-priming particle absorption module to maintain the speed of infinitely close to the speed of light after a long period of medium injection acceleration. , when the enemy is about to be approached, it can quickly convert the shell into black hole-like matter, and cause damage to the enemy through seemingly ordinary but surprisingly powerful impacts.
This kind of collision is not a simple physical contact. In the process, it will also change the mode quickly according to the shield characteristics and material characteristics of the opponent, and release various real-level interference ripples to the outside world. This inexpensive and extremely difficult to resist micro combat unit has gradually replaced the old-fashioned intelligent space fighter.
Fourth, a small number of all-around armors operated by pilots, armored pilots, and warriors.
Fifth, a comprehensive defense system composed of a multi-functional shield that can deal with different attack methods of the enemy, and a composite armor with absolute rigidity.
The Unknown Fleet has never stopped technological innovation during its more than eighty years of voyages.
Compared to when they first set off, the combat effectiveness of today's warships is far from what it used to be.
Every technological revolution in the outer empire will be synchronized into the fleet and transformed into new means.
This method includes not only the equipment involved in military offense and defense, but also the transformation of the human body itself and the use of various new drugs to stimulate potential.
Of course, the human body itself is a very precise instrument, and if you rush to stimulate a lot of potential, it is easy to leave some sequelae if the mechanical equipment is overloaded and overloaded.
This thing is like the doping used by athletes 800 years ago, and usually follows the basic rule that the greater the benefit, the greater the cost.
The physical sequelae can be resolved, but the brain sequelae is really a big problem.
But no matter how great the price is, death in battle is not worth it.
Also, the human army on the battlefield in space has no intention of going back, so the side effects don't matter.
People from different classes have different types of potions.
For example, the gunner who is in charge of manipulating the artillery in the fleet needs to take a comprehensive potion in the direction of associative strengthening that improves the intuitive prediction ability of large-scale battlefields.
The armored pilot who needs to drive the armor to jump out needs to take a comprehensive potion that enhances logic ability, instantaneous response ability and thinking stability.
In addition, each comprehensive medicine is divided into different grades according to the strength of the medicine.
At this time, Op Dundee had already injected the third bottle of A-Class Pilot's Comprehensive Potion, and had continued to work for a total of 72 hours.
He has his own fighting style.
He has programmed more than 90% of the miniature combat robots in the entire battleship into his combat program?
At the same time, he also set relatively broad preset operating procedures for various working groups such as the bomb-dropping team and the artillery team.
Op is treating the entire No. 6 ship like a giant armor.
As a top pilot, he controls the entire ship.
This gave him a lot of work and some controversy?
But Opp thinks he has a clear conscience?
My hard work and ability are worthy of the job.
Enter the last preset command?
At the same time, the effect of the medicine just passed, but Opp did not faint, but slid back along the chair for a distance?
Enter the medical cabin, which is already on standby.
A variety of medical devices start themselves?
At the same time, he began to observe the comprehensive information of the battleship.
"The torch system is in good condition, after the latest equipment adjustment?
The torch power has been increased by 23.77% based on the original design parameters. "
Which torch system?
It is the chaotic quantum signal transmitter released by the sixth ship in order to deliberately reveal its whereabouts.
"Twenty seconds ago?
Complete the information exchange communication with the No. 1 and No. 2 ships. The distance between us and the No. 1 ship is now 1.63 billion kilometers. The second ship briefly turned on the curvature movement?
The distance from us is 17.9 billion kilometers. "
"Is there an enemy warship in front of the second ship?
Military strength comparison index is 0.8. "
“Based on the information sent back by the curvature space detector ahead?
A large number of enemy ships appear eight light years in front of my ship. Enemy is expected in six days. The ratio of military strength between the enemy and us is 9:1. "
Aopu rolled his eyes and muttered and cursed to himself: "You really look up to me. What you give to others is 0.8, and what you give to me is nine to one. Poisonous!"
It's definitely impossible to beat him, but Aop's scolding and scolding don't panic.
Six days have passed since the actual contact?
The fleet should have just left the enemy's surveillance area?
You can safely evacuate.
Sixth ship is the most maneuverable high-speed warship among the three torch ships?
And he is not the pinnacle warrior?
However, the top pilot who is also infinitely close will act as the captain to control the overall situation, and there is another senior peak warrior who takes the role of cutting-edge force. If you want to escape?
The chance of escape is not small.
The last comprehensive message reads: "It has been seventy-six hours and thirty-three minutes since we set off, and no message from our fleet has been received."
Op nodded.
At a time like this, no news is the best news.
It's not that Aopu doesn't care whether Tong Ling's freezing experiment is successful, but now his task is to protect the main fleet from safely escaping.
If you can escape, wait for the integration data package sent by the Empire.
Working for seventy-two consecutive hours, he was a little sleepy and was about to close his eyes when the intelligence officer of Ship No. 6 suddenly received a message, "Captain, bad news."
"Say."
"The compound-eye slave fleet in front of us is divided into one-third of the force, about 7,000 fast reconnaissance ships, diffused to the rest of the direction. Among them, the scanning range of 621 just covers our fleet. the expected direction of travel, there is a risk of exposure.”
Aop suddenly sat up straight, drenched in cold sweat.
Although the Unknown Fleet and the No. 6 ship have cut off contact at this time, before departure, Aop and others have verified the next general heading of the Unknown Fleet with Qin Guang, so as to avoid unexpected situations.
Oppo thought about it for about two seconds, his long arms almost scratching his scalp.
He turned to look at the several adjutants in front of him who were waiting for him to make a decision, as well as the pinnacle warrior.
Aopu stood up slowly, and first said in a low voice: "Transfer all the databases and raw materials related to the cryonics experiment to the tinder chamber with the embryos. By the way, synthesize the most advanced practical materials. The instrument is also moved up. Arrange for ten elite soldiers to drive and control the fire compartment to leave the No. 6 ship and go to the Persian-Pisces supercluster at full speed."
"Yes!"
Oppo looked around again, grinned, and seemed to laugh at himself, "Damn it, ghosts think that it's only been a few days, I'll have to break my promise. Everyone, enter the curvature flight state in advance, and start short-range jumps intermittently! Go straight into the central area of the intercepting fleet in front! We must directly exchange fire with the enemy fleet within three days! And to hit the opponent, the opponent must take back the third of the eyes! All projects that have the ability to deploy real energy clouds The whole army of machines will arrive on the battlefield three hours before us and the enemy ship, and set up a battlefield environment with a diameter of more than seven billion kilometers for me!"
"Yes!"
A series of orders were issued, and when everyone dispersed, Opp put his hand in his trouser pocket and took out two things.
One is a pitch-black medicine bottle, which contains a banned-grade comprehensive medicine.
The other, however, is an old-fashioned print.
In the photo, Tong Ling is in the center, Gao Xiaoqi and he are standing next to Tong Ling. Beside the three, there are also holographic projections of Baixiang, Sun Tongwen, Shanzhe and others.
There are seven people in the front row, and behind the seven people are the holographic projections of hundreds of people.
This is a group photo of everyone who has joined Tong Ling's team over the decades across time and space.
Some are still alive, most have died.
Oppo's nose was slightly sour, and he took a deep breath.
"It's finally my turn."
After more than ten minutes, the adjutant reported back, "Captain, the crew of the tinder cabin has been selected and is about to leave. Do you want to say something to them?"
Op shook his head, "You help me tell them. Let's just say I promised someone that humans will spread their branches in the Perseus-Pisces supercluster and live forever. I don't want to say anything. And without faith. Go."
……
Three days and six hours later.
In the cosmic void more than 4,000 light-years away on the ecliptic plane of the Milky Way, a splendid explosion of shattering bombs flashed briefly, illuminating the endless starry sky.
……
Four days later, with Tong Ling's condition completely stabilized, the final step of the cryonics experiment - cryo-resurrection started in an orderly manner.
Ten days later, the revived Tong Ling drove the t100 again to complete her personal peak operation exercise.
The 150 million people in the Unknown Fleet are simultaneously ecstatic.
This shows that cryonics technology has completely entered into reality from theory.
Tong Ling's personality has changed, becoming more reticent.
After awakening, she continued to polish her combat skills, which had already reached the realm, day after day, year after year, while quietly waiting for the more reliable new freezing technology to mature.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. Emerson Cobert and many scientists in the huge empire have worked together to digest and absorb the huge reference data produced by the first successful cryonics with Tong Ling as a sample. This cross-era technology solves many of the drawbacks in it.
In order to be frozen, you must first be the best among humans, at least in a certain field.
And then, it is necessary to go through rigorous intuition training, and constantly approach Tong Ling's personal thinking pattern to become an unintentional person.
Intuitive thinking of individuals will be divided into several categories according to each person's situation, including combat intuition, battlefield intuition, strategic intuition, scientific intuition, logical intuition and other aspects.
In this way, although top scientists, military strategists, politicians, businessmen, writers, and philosophers do not have the same super physique as Tong Ling, they also have a considerable chance of being frozen successfully.
The Unnamed Fleet is a little more troublesome.
After all, this is a lone army that has been submerged in the curvature space all the year round. It is very lacking in special materials, so it took another six years to finally wait until the actual material synthesizer is advanced again before it can be synthesized with the empire headquarters. The new freezer with the same level can avoid the step-by-step advancement in the cooling process and avoid causing severe pain to the operator.
In 2820, Tong Ling, who was 147 years old, really fell into a deep sleep.
Before her, nearly 80,000 people in the entire empire had been qualified through the review of the mastermind Fanxing and fell asleep one after another.
This number will continue to expand in the future.
This means that human beings have first entered the space age from the information age of the 21st century, and then entered the current sleep age.
From the perspective of the whole civilization, if there is a choice, most people want to see the world in a thousand years, but it is impossible to satisfy everyone's wishes.
The essence of cryonics is the optimal allocation of resources to avoid waste of resources.
If you really want to follow everyone's wishes, whoever wants to freeze will freeze, and top talents will all fall asleep, then it will lead to intermittent stagnation of the progress of civilization, and there will be a situation where the future is not grasped, and now is lost first.
As a result, Fanxing's selection rules are very strict.
The top priority is those top scientists who need to wait for the results of long experiments.
Secondly, there are some top talents from all walks of life who have shown amazing talents in a certain field, but the prerequisites for this part of the related technology have not been completed.
Then some of the expedition personnel who carried the tinder capsules to distant space in advance, and then came down to the top fighters.
Fanxing will not only analyze the life trajectory of the subject during the assessment process, but also conduct a large number of simulations and deductions for the future development using the core framework of space-time topology.
Let's not talk about major events outside, but the inside of the Unknown Fleet is facing a severe test.
Because the Anonymous Fleet cannot easily connect to the backbone network, it is difficult to get the help of the almost omniscient and omnipotent mastermind Fanxing, and it is impossible to conduct an undisputed all-round assessment.
Qin Guang set up a comprehensive evaluation team consisting of nearly 10,000 scholars. It took nearly three years to select the first batch of frozen lists of 200,000 people.
Qin Guang didn't dare to be careless. After the final list was determined, he personally reviewed and implemented one by one.
He has no problem with most of the names on the list, but ~IndoMTL.com~ hesitates when he sees his own name and comments.
"Qin Guang, 167 years old, commander-in-chief of the fleet, admiral. He has extremely high military literacy and a keen sense of war, and his comprehensive ability can be included in the top ten famous generals since the 21st century. Based on orientation verification and rigorous discussions, the evaluation team unanimously determined that Admiral Qin Guang will definitely shine in the decisive battle. The fleet has entered a stable submarine period, and General Qin Guang can give priority to using cryonics technology in his spare time to prolong his life, and Wake up when necessary, consistent with Chief Instructor Tong Ling's situation."
Qin Guang stretched out his finger and silently crossed out his name.
Others can sleep, he can't.
Because he is the commander and supreme leader of the fleet, he must endure the greatest loneliness and shoulder the heaviest mission.
He is the soul of the fleet.
He must remain awake at all times until the end of his life.
Let this kind of good thing be left to others.
What is lacking is not a freezer, but a place to reserve people as a resource.
