Chapter 626

"Teacher, you are about 170 years old. According to the past practice and the tips of your tracking health assistant, you still have about 110 years to live. But we need at least 180 years to reach Yinxin. Why don't you choose to sleep? The latest wake-up technology can make people recover in only three days, which should not affect the overall situation?"

In the office, Zhou Donglai, Qin Guang's adjutant and disciple, asked slightly puzzled.

Qin Guang smiled at his favorite student.

He was very satisfied with Zhou Donglai. When he was only in his fifties, he was among the best in a number of simulated command training. In an encounter in 2812, Qin Guang transferred part of the command to Zhou Donglai, and he also completed the task well.

As a new generation in the fleet, Zhou Donglai did not deserve the respect of Qin Guang. Now he has the same reputation as Emerson in the fleet.

It's just that I'm younger after all. I still take it for granted.

Qin Guang patted the disciple on the shoulder and said, "we are now in the high information age, and the evolution of everything has been accelerated countless times. Three days seems short, but it is enough to turn the world upside down. After all, we are far away from the hinterland, and we can't get external support, or even the all-round computing support of the main brain."

Zhou Donglai: "but the simulation calculation points out that we could not encounter the enemy again 2830 years ago. Teacher, can you sleep more or less for a few years?"

Qin Guang: "most of the fleet's own artificial intelligence computing power is used to deduce the external situation and support scientific research. We have not 100% control over the operation of the fleet. In the long-distance and long-term expedition, the crisis is not only external."

"We must admit that refrigeration technology is of great significance and will inevitably bring drastic changes to our civilization structure. The outside empire is a big society, and our fleet has more than 100 million people, and it is obvious that it will exceed 200 million people in the near future."

"Eight hundred years ago, the unknown fleet with a population of 200 million could be regarded as an unknown power. Although our sparrows are small, they have all kinds of internal organs. Therefore, some changes will happen next. These changes may be good or cause problems."

Zhou Donglai: "teacher, but we now have a high proportion of soldiers. We are an army based on the Empire. Is it still different from the narrow concept of the state?"

Qin Guang smiled, "I appreciate your active thinking, but you ignore a point I just mentioned."

"What?"

"Distance and time will change many things. Especially when more and more older generations choose to sleep to prolong their life, this change will gradually enlarge. Therefore, for us, human body freezing is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can change our life against the sky for our expedition mission. If not used well, it will also bring us destruction."

Zhou Donglai: "teacher, do you still support freezing?"

Qin Guang laughed. "Tong Ling has learned the gambling nature of the sage. Where can I get better? No matter how we gamble, the ultimate goal is always to improve the success rate of the task."

"I see."

Zhou Donglai finally understood what Qin Guang meant.

"However, although I can't sleep, others can. This first list is reviewed by me, but I can't ask about everything in the future. Let's leave the decision to the evaluation team. Wait another two years. When the time is ripe, you can also try intermittent freezing."

"Good teacher."

……

Year after year, Emerson cobert chose to sleep in 2845.

At this time, he has updated the fleet's refrigeration technology ten times, becoming more and more reliable. The accident rate when waking up is getting lower and lower, and the safety factor is just equal to that of civil aviation flights in the 21st century.

Yes, there are still risks, but the risk is not big enough to stop eating because of choking.

Great changes have taken place within the fleet in the past 25 years.

In 2825, the fleet received a packet from the Empire.

In addition to the regular scientific and technological sharing content and current affairs briefing, this data package also includes a rotation guide analysis system in the sleeping era, referred to as the rotation system.

The system is carefully made by the main brain stars after collecting a large amount of data. First, the CHENFENG empire is regarded as a whole, and then divided into star regions. It comprehensively considers the resource balance and material and personnel exchange in different star regions, and puts forward a set of optimization measures that can not only maintain civilization and creativity, but also improve the distribution and optimization of human resources in the time span as much as possible.

At the same time, the system can also narrow the scope of application, ranging from a prosperous Star area with a population of 100 billion to a space research institute with only tens of thousands of people.

Through the comprehensive analysis of the rotation system, the best rotation plan and resource allocation scheme can be given.

Now the nameless fleet with a total population of 180 million people also applies the guidance of the rotation system. The fleet evaluation team has reduced a lot of work.

However, Qin Guang did not use it, but asked the evaluation team to spend more than half a year to adjust the strategic mode in the rotation system, so as to realize the rotation scheme in line with the characteristics of the unknown fleet and begin to implement it.

By 2845, as more and more newcomers passed the functional level assessment and were able to take over the work in the hands of the older generation, a large number of manual Posts began to switch from long-term duty mode to rotation mode.

At the same time, due to the stable structure and small volume of the new refrigeration plant, it is convenient for centralized resettlement. After a large number of people have been frozen, the living space in the fleet has become much richer, which further speeds up the training speed of a new generation of voyagers.

Some radicals in the fleet leadership even proposed that if this trend continues, the fleet can make use of the surplus productivity of large ships to manufacture more modular spliced spacecraft with only frozen warehouses, further expand the population size that the fleet can accommodate, and strengthen the number and performance of energy absorbers that absorb real energy particles from curvature space, Then when we reach Yinxin, the original 150 million people will expand into an army of 10 billion people!

At that time, these 10 billion soldiers will have one armor, regardless of performance, but just thinking about this number is enough to be exciting.

With tens of billions of war armor and tens of billions or even billions of intelligent combat units, this expeditionary force will become a mighty main force to whip and break the river.

It has to be said that the future described by the radical is very attractive, and Qin Guang almost moved his heart.

However, Qin Guang thought over and over again and decided to suppress the proposal of the radicals for the time being on the grounds that there were no more soldiers but better soldiers, and only agreed to appropriately speed up the population expansion of the new mankind.

In 2850, a total of 70 million people entered the freezer, most of them the older generation who were the first to board the fleet.

A few include new peak soldiers, super scientists, talented captains and other emerging talents.

At the same time, Qin Guang and Emerson jointly passed a new bill three years later.

In order to meet the material requirements for manufacturing and maintaining more freezers, as well as preparing for the silver heart battle in advance, the fleet will close the gravity simulator in most non scientific laboratory areas, first to gradually adapt the existing population to weightless life, and second to train a new generation of space soldiers under weightless conditions.

Giving up gravity does not mean giving up physical fitness. The fleet will strengthen physical training under the condition of no gravity, so as to achieve the effect of all the people at the critical moment.

With the original constitution of the earth people, under the condition of no gravity, the physiological function does not adapt to the space environment, the platelets are difficult to accurately locate the damaged blood vessels, and some minor internal bleeding can easily spread into serious injuries.

Although the personal medical assistant can properly restrain this phenomenon, if the human body lacks the ability of self-regulation, once the energy supply is insufficient or enters a fierce state, this slight gap will greatly suppress the combat effectiveness.

According to Emerson's estimation, the remaining 150 years will be enough for the older generation of human bodies to adapt to weightless conditions in rapid evolution. The human brain will input new information and become a more sophisticated machine than a personal medical assistant, and a new enzyme will be produced in the human body.

Once the human body senses internal bleeding, there is no need for the brain to make judgment, and the body tissue cells will quickly secrete new enzymes. This new enzyme does not need gravity to assist in positioning, but will follow the guidance of chemical bonds. Like the electrons from the negative electrode to the positive electrode in the battery, it will quickly rush to the wound, combine with red blood cells, produce expansion reaction, then settle and coagulate, and quickly close the wound, so as to achieve the effect of self first aid.

The mechanism of this new thrombin is only one of the directions of human evolution in space flying in weightless curvature space for a long time.

As many as thousands of enzymes that do not exist under gravity will be born in the human body. Fundamental changes will take place in the relationship between cells and tissues, the arrangement structure of neurons, and even the transmission mode of nerve signals.

Great changes are everywhere, just as inland ships with the same displacement and ocean going ships will have great differences in structure.

In 2870, when the second generation of new people without gravity gradually grew up, the body shape differences of the three generations of humans appeared.

The first generation of humans from different galaxies and relying on the stellar stability quantum constant are relatively small.

The second generation of new humans born in space and grown up under gravity are slightly taller.

But the third generation shows obvious polarization. Tall people can easily break through three meters in height, and short people are only 0.5 meters.

Different body shape tendencies represent the talent differences of this generation. Usually, tall people have huge brains and high scientific potential.

Short people have higher bone mineral density and muscle solidity. Relatively small brains allocate most of their talents to combat ability. These people are natural armored soldiers, and their talents are slightly better than the original steel soldiers.

At this time, the total population accumulated by the three generations of mankind exceeded 400 million.

Among them, 70 million first generation human beings are sleeping, and 70 million first generation human beings hold important positions in various departments, and are basically waiting for rotation.

There are 140 million people in the second generation and 160 million people in the third generation.

Qin Guang sat in his office with a top secret report in his hand.

The report gave him a slight headache.

After years of observation and analysis of the stellar progeny carried by the fleet, it is found that there are some problems among the three generations of humans.

At this time, the fleet is more than 9000 light-years away from the frontier of the Empire. Although it has stayed in the curvature space for a long time, it has some connection with the cosmic constant rules in the original three-dimensional space of the outside world, the sense of distant distance, the sense of time dislocation of long-time navigation, and the continuous change of the enzyme environment in the human body have affected people's way of thinking, Finally, some people have ideological problems.

The new generation has gradually lost its identity with the parent star and Empire, and the unified will to sacrifice for the whole family has been gradually impacted.

This problem is particularly obvious in the third generation of space humans.

Some people began to question whether such a long voyage straight into the enemy's hinterland was really meaningful.

Began to think about whether the expedition really had the possibility of success.

If you go, you will also die. Why not just take advantage of the fact that the fleet is far above the ecliptic of the Milky way, and start sending more people to extragalactic galaxies in order to leave more seeds for civilization.

Others are dissatisfied with the priority of the first generation of human beings to enjoy the distribution of rotating resources.

Others think they have excellent ability, but they always have to be pressed on their head by the old guy. They are dissatisfied with this.

Of course, the imperial planning department had considered this phenomenon long before departure.

However, at that time, human beings did not have human body freezing technology. The preliminary plan was to kill everyone once someone's will was shaken, and use iron and blood military control means to preserve combat effectiveness as much as possible.

But now the situation has changed. With the blessing of refrigeration technology, some of the older generation sleep deeply and can save their strength until they reach their destination. At the same time, many new people do have to show their talents.

Today, the comprehensive strength of the nameless fleet is dozens of times higher than that at the time of departure.

If you can control the situation, you have a better chance of winning after arrival.

But if you can't control it, it's a mess.

The current situation is that most people are afraid of the ubiquitous artificial intelligence monitoring and hide all these careful thoughts in their hearts. However, Qin Guang knows that over time, quantitative change will inevitably lead to qualitative change, and a major power shock is likely to occur within the fleet.

Although he can give an order and order AI to destroy all waverers in an instant.

But in fact, these people are not guilty to death, and most waverers still start from the direction of continuing human existence, but they have different ideas.

Moreover, Qin Guang is also reluctant to give up the talents of these new generations of human beings.

These are valuable resources.

Qin Guang began to fall into a long thought. He must come up with a solution as soon as possible before the situation continues to deteriorate.

He knew it was time for him to face a real test.

If things are really so simple, you can fly over quietly and fight once, and the Empire will not appoint him as the General Commander.

While Qin Guang was thinking hard, Emerson, the chief scientist who woke up again, knocked on his door.

"Two pieces of news. One is good and the other is bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"OK."

"The good news is that the training department has just successfully bred a new baby. The baby's genes come from a male peak soldier and a female S-class soldier respectively. It is preliminarily determined that the baby has the potential similar to that of chief instructor Tong Ling. We can give birth to another super soldier."

Qin Guang nodded, "yes, what's the bad news?"

"This baby has reproductive isolation from humans."

Qin Guang stood up straight and stared angrily, "what! Impossible!"

"I don't think it's possible, but it did happen."

Emerson shrugged.
