Chapter 587: Pippi Shrimp Expedition!

Time flies very quickly. Since the departure of Toss civilization, 20 years have passed again, and the trial sailing work of all large motherships is gradually coming to an end.

In a while, people will officially set off to bid farewell to this familiar star field. Various resource reserves are constantly relocating upwards through space elevators. Rare earths, nuclear fuel, organic materials warehouses, and conventional materials warehouses are all arranged in full swing.

In this case, both adults and children are looking forward to moving towards the distance again, eager to contact other interstellar civilizations.

On the Spring Festival of the last year, fireworks flashed, and bright little suns flashed over the planet. Humans are so rich that they can use hydrogen bombs to set off fireworks... and this type of hydrogen bomb can present various strange colors, and everyone is very happy.

The evening party before departure is naturally extremely lively, with choruses, singer casinos, and sketches of crosstalk, which always make people feel unsatisfied.

A party that is still unsatisfactory is a party that has taste!

Next, a grand voting ceremony appeared on the planet, and there was nothing special about it, mainly to name these six new generations of giant motherships.

The people have a high enthusiasm for voting for this matter!

One of the giant Titan-class motherships that can accommodate 50 million people was named "Departure". This was named from the beginning and will not be changed. This name means that the new human civilization will become a new journey after it becomes a level 4 civilization, and it also carries people's beautiful expectations for the future.

Therefore, the people have the right to naming the other five spacecraft.

However, after the voting ended, something ridiculous happened. One of the names "Pipi Shrimp" actually obtained the highest turnout rate!

The water splashed out by the words said was only allowed to pinch the nose and agree. One of the interstellar aircraft carrier-class carriers was named "Pipi Shrimp".

But soon, more people began to complain about this damn name because they felt that they might live on this "Pippi Shrimp" for most of their life, which sounded too ugly! It was really too ugly!

Some people even moved to the spacecraft. When they heard that their beloved home was named "Pipi Shrimp", they immediately became furious.

"The spaceship we live in, no matter what the rest of you are doing! Why is our spaceship named Pipi Shrimp! We absolutely disagree, and we firmly disagree!"

So they began to protest loudly again and voted to change their names... The number of people who jointly modified their names reached one million in one day!

This time, the "voting accident" was also regarded as a negative textbook and written in the newspaper, and its title became a damn democracy"!

In short, after some twists and turns, all the names were decided, namely the "Departure" interstellar Titan-class spacecraft...

And five interstellar aircraft carrier-class spacecraft including "East", "Revival", "Shenzhou", "Progress" and "Future"!

These names sound quite serious and even a bit boring, but basically everyone can accept it and there will be no too many objections.

"...Hello, audience friends, the 'Departure' interstellar Titan-class spacecraft can accommodate a normal life of 50 million people. It is the economic, scientific research, education, and industrial center of the entire civilization."

"The remaining interstellar aircraft carrier-class spacecraft can accommodate 20 million people, have certain industrial capabilities and military combat effectiveness. Now the total population of the new human civilization is insufficient, and each aircraft carrier-class spacecraft is equipped with more than 10 million, and the population size still has a certain amount of room for improvement."

"Ten million people can maintain all aspects of the spacecraft. In the next few hundred years, the population will increase slowly until 150 million to 200 million people."

"After this, we may try to build our own planetary fortress..."

"Scientists are also studying the related technologies of planetary fortresses. We are basically mature in the rest of the technologies, and the most important thing is the planet's warp speed..."

These new motherships are introduced everywhere on the digital screen on the roadside. The residents on it have been carefully arranged, corresponding to the six underground cities currently owned by humans, just one city and one spacecraft.

People's daily life will not be affected too much.

If divided according to military strength, all spacecraft are divided into five categories.

The first is the Titan-class, which is the largest curvature spacecraft that humans can build, and various materials and technologies, all reach their existing limits.

The cost and cost of building a Titan-class spacecraft is very high, so people only built one. It was too troublesome and there was no need.

The second type is the aircraft carrier-class, that is, a giant spacecraft that can carry 20 million people. This type of spacecraft can carry a large population, is also quite capable of fighting, and has a high-priced combat capability.

Next are cruise-level, expulsion-level and escort-level spacecraft. These numbered curvature spacecraft are capable of carrying a large number of soldiers and are also storage points for drones.

The smaller one is the curvature drone, that is, the cellular attack community, which is quite expensive.

Next is the ordinary drone. Because of its small size and cheap construction, ordinary drones are charge suicide squads.

This type of small drones have an energy device that is still ordinary nuclear fusion. They obtain a large initial speed through electromagnetic catapults of the mothership. Because of the cheaper cost, they can produce as much as they want. They usually carry high-power missiles, and hitting the other party at close range is profitable.

With some electronic interference spacecraft, early warning spacecraft, reconnaissance spacecraft, etc., basically this is what the human military system looks like, multi-level and multi-dimensional.

There are 320 spacecraft of all sizes and numbers in total, reaching a reasonable range that human civilization economy can withstand.

If spacecraft is added, a large number of recruitment will be required, and the maintenance costs will be increased. It is not unbearable, but in a peaceful state, it is not very affordable.

After this simple Spring Festival, the next step is to go to the distance. The captain’s office of the departing ship is holding a departing ceremony. The captain introduced the matters related to the first long-distance warp navigation in front of the TV.

"...Ladies and gentlemen, our next goal is Tabi Star, which is about 400 light years from our current location. If calculated at three times the speed of light, it will take about 133 years."

"...but we cannot always exercise at the highest speed, and the time it takes may be a little more, maybe about two hundred years."

"Since it was the first long-distance voyage, we needed to debug the fleet's flight throughout the process. If there is no special reason, we would not investigate the planets passing by in the middle and reach the end in one go!"

Captain Feng Zichen's introduction is quite colloquial, and he can understand it even without sufficient professional knowledge.

The female captain has achieved quite good results over the years, has done a good job in reform, and has personal abilities, so she has been re-elected, and the members of the Science Council have no objections.

The current life span of the new human civilization is nearly 700 years old, and the regular personnel are about 500 years old, so the captain can be chosen every 50 years, and up to 4 times. A total of two hundred years of term is enough for a captain to do a lot of things, provided that his ability is sufficient.

Since it is an intra-party election and excessive power, there will be basically no bloody incidents such as party disputes.

Every era has its own style. In this new era, people have survived many hardships and experienced an accident of sinking, but they have become more confident and more radical than before.
