Internal Preparations

  At this time, the atmosphere within the new human civilization has become very solemn.

  Even though this kind of thing was expected, even half a year ago, insiders had predicted it. But when it actually happened, it still brought a lot of pressure to everyone.

  Your Excellency the Captain officially declared a "civilizational emergency" and issued a war mobilization order!

  War kills people. No one wants to die. No one is willing to die. If you really die on the battlefield, it is impossible to come back to life...

  The battlefield is not a virtual world!

  But some things are more important than life!

  As various news reports gradually emerged, surging anger has swept across civilization, giving birth to an unprecedented wave of recruitment and a return wave of veterans.

  Defending the wealth of the entire civilization is, of course, the most straightforward motivation for joining the war.

  Fortunately, the high-level officials of the New Humanity government had foreseen the current predicament in advance. The selection of escapees had basically been completed. Those allowed to leave were basically the elderly, students and other people without combat effectiveness, as well as a large number of scientists, all of whom were valuable. It would be too much of a waste if talented people died on the battlefield.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, I have to say that our civilization has reached its most dangerous moment. There is a group of robbers who are interested in the wealth in our hands..."

  "We have no way to retreat. Once we retreat, we will lose more, and it may take hundreds of thousands of years to make up for it."

  "To become a truly great civilization, we must do our best to fight these bandits!"

  "In the future, we may encounter more and more problems. This is just a small checkpoint. But among these checkpoints, cowards, lazy people, and people who are skeptical of the entire civilization have lost their People with a fighting spirit and self-control, as well as ignorant people, will be exposed during this period of time and then be eliminated by the times..."

  "There is nothing to hesitate! This is likely to be a protracted war. There is no need for those who left to feel guilty because you bear the heavy responsibility of restarting civilization! We must leave the seeds of hope..."

  The captain is on TV to encourage all the people.

  At this critical moment, it is not appropriate to place bets in one basket. The Titan-class spacecraft "Departure" will carry 80 million people away and will also take away the core device of Pangu Brain.

  Those who stay here will be those who can fight, plus the engineering personnel of the planetary engine, basically all young people.

  "Don't you want to leave? A great scientist like you should leave together! What's the use of staying here?" Li Zhendong was making a simple farewell to Zhang Yuan.

  As a worker of the provisional government, Li Zhendong will leave with these troops.

  In this case, scientific research can only be stopped temporarily, and managing the large forces in the rear is the most important thing.

  The two gave each other a final hug.

  "I won't leave!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "In this life, I have met too many people who burned themselves to light the way ahead for us. Occasionally, I also want to burn myself to light the way for others. …"

  "Just tell yourself that you are superior!" Li Zhendong said angrily.

  "Hahaha, don't be nervous! We and the Apollo civilization may not necessarily fight. Let's see who loses control first! Now it's just a mutual deterrent..."

  Inside the "Departure", many people are saying goodbye to each other.

  A middle-aged man kissed his wife and shed tears accidentally, then wiped his eyes and looked back without hesitation.

  A young man was bidding farewell to his family and friends. Although his heart was heavy, he had a playful smile on his face. "You are going to be a hero soon. Why are you doing this?"

  As he spoke, he turned his head.

  A girl shouted after him: "Goodbye, don't die!"

  He waved his hand quickly: "You can't die, you can't die... don't worry, haha! As the only man in a small family, my sister has to be protected by me..."

  "See you in thirty years!"

  There are also people who are asking for leave from their work units, "Reason for requesting leave: to join the army!"

  "Leave time: unknown!"

  Most units have stopped production, and the supervisors said: "Allow!"

  Another sentence was written at the end: "The job will be reserved for this gentleman forever!"

  Countless similar scenes are played out in the entire society. No matter whether we are reluctant to part or worried or afraid, those who should be separated still have to separate.

  After a brief separation, the "Departure" interstellar Titan class, loaded with more than 80 million people, entered the curvature voyage and left the starry sky without any civilization to stop it...

  This is the basic strategy of all parties. They will not stop conventional interstellar civilizations from leaving, and it is difficult to really stop them.

  Otherwise, there will be endless hatred.

  They wished that humans would leave quickly so that they could pick up a battle star for nothing.

  Next, a large number of retired soldiers were re-recruited and joined the front lines that could break out at any time. The captain made a solemn speech on the TV station: "I will announce below: the formal implementation of the wartime planned economic system!"

  Those who remain here are the humans who continue to fight to defend the Battle Star, approximately 75 million of them.

  Among them, there are 16 million planet developers. These populations cannot be moved, otherwise the entire plan will be delayed. There are also ten million soldiers, soldiers on spaceships, and soldiers on battle stars. The rest are basically logistics personnel, responsible for various logistics, data collection, intelligence, production, astronomical observation and other aspects of work.

  There are also a small number of scientists like Zhang Yuan. If there is really some diplomatic room for maneuver, they might be able to come in handy.

  Under normal circumstances, the population occupied by soldiers of the new human civilization is only about 0.8 to 1% of the population, which is 1.5 million soldiers.

  Basically every adult man has the opportunity to serve in the military. After a few years of military service, he officially enters the workforce.

  Therefore, most of the 10 million soldiers are veterans and were recruited temporarily.

  After the promulgation of the wartime system, one of the interstellar aircraft carrier-class "Fuxing" became the new command center and the temporary residence of Zhang Yuan and others.

  "Judging from the tonnage of the spacecraft, the enemy Apollo civilization used two spacecraft similar to the Titan class and eight aircraft carrier-class spacecraft!"

  "As for other military spaceships, there are more than 1,000 cruisers, destroyers and escorts, and there are countless drones, possibly more than ten million. Because they are too far away, these small spacecrafts are difficult to directly observe. Of course, the other side is also very It's hard to see our little spacecraft."

  The New Humanity left one Titan-class spacecraft, leaving only 5 interstellar aircraft carriers, plus one semi-finished battle star, cruisers and destroyers, only 300 in number.

  Zhang Yuan's brows wrinkled for a while and relaxed for a while. Judging from the strength on paper, the New Human Race was indeed no match for the opponent.

  However, as a result of preparations over the past ten years, a total of nearly 10,000 guard-class spacecraft have been produced!

  This kind of assembly line small spacecraft is produced very quickly and is expected to continue to be produced in the future.

  "Guard-class" is the lowest standard for warp spacecraft. It can only carry 100-200 soldiers for a normal life of one or two years. It can transport up to thousands of small drones and then serve as a temporary command center to form a minimum standard. combat unit.

  The most critical thing is that each interstellar frigate is equipped with a warp missile known as the "Titan Killer"!

  Yes, there is only one, and humans don't have much antimatter. There are only a few missiles loaded with antimatter. There are many warp missiles or even just hydrogen bombs. There may be no way to destroy the real Titan.

  But the curvature missile is a curvature missile after all. As long as it hits, the Titan-class spaceship will lose a piece of meat!
