My empire of stars

Just when Shen Yahui and others thought it was over, nine old men appeared in the video.

"Newly awakened gentlemen and ladies, we are the ten members of the Ark Council."

"Now the Ark has flown into the wormhole for 540 years. You have also seen the video of the first captain. Our Ark is trapped in the wormhole channel."

"Five hundred and forty-three years have passed since the departure of Sith. Our Ark has begun to age. We have replaced countless parts alone. Although the old parts can be recycled, when the main beams in the spacecraft are also aged and cannot support the weight of the Ark, the Ark will disintegrate."

"And we all know that the food on the Ark can only be stored for 800 years. If it exceeds this time, the food stored on the Ark will be All the food will be spoiled. "

"But in order to cope with the increasing maintenance work, now every ten years or so, we need to wake up 10,000 maintenance personnel. Even if we store all the new food produced in the planting area on the Ark, we only eat the food carried by the Ark. The new food accumulated for more than 200 years is not enough for the increasing number of maintenance personnel for more than 20 years. "

"So the situation is very grim now!"

"We hope that you can take on the important task of resolving the crisis, help the 20 million humans on this Ark escape the wormhole, and take them to a place where they can bathe in the sun." As soon as the voice fell, the holographic screen was completely extinguished, and the lights in the lounge gradually brightened.

After a while, the door of the lounge was opened, and ten old men floated into the lounge on the floating chairs in the air and came to Shen Yahui and others.

"Good morning, everyone. We are the third managers of the Ark and the second members of the Ark Council."

"We have been working for more than a hundred years, and our lifespan is not enough to support the Ark to leave the wormhole."

"So we carefully selected ten of you from 20 million people. You will be members of the new Ark Council. Your mission is to lead the Ark to escape from hyperspace!"

"Among them, we appoint Shen Yahui as the president of the Ark Council, hoping to use his innate sixth sense to help the Ark escape." A member of the parliament pointed at Shen Yahui and said.

Shen Yahui was surprised. He didn't expect that he would be responsible for the lives of tens of millions of people when he woke up.

"I can't do it!" Shen Yahui waved his hand and said.

"No, you have proved that your sixth sense does exist in the infirmary just now. There is indeed someone behind the observation glass of the infirmary. We are observing you behind this single-sided glass."

"So we hope you can take over the important task of captain and speaker!" The leading member handed the command sword in his hand to Shen Yahui.

At this point, he was no longer allowed to refuse. Shen Yahui hurriedly stepped forward to take the command sword with both hands and bowed solemnly to several members of parliament. This is what people often say about accepting orders in times of crisis.

"Okay, we will hand over some work to you. You will also have to meet the maintenance personnel who woke up with you later." With that, the members of parliament floated out of the lounge on the floating chairs.

"Will we be lonely and old on the Ark like them for the rest of our lives?" The only woman among the ten people said a little frustrated.

"Think about it, you can at least spend your whole life on the ship, and those who are dormant may not know what happened until the Ark disintegrates in the wormhole, and die in a daze." The person next to the woman patted her shoulder and comforted her.

"Yes, it's better to live than to die. Let's spend the rest of our lives on the Ark." Another person also sighed.

Shen Yahui finally understood why the captains in the video were so old. It turned out that they wanted to spend their lives in peace, because they didn't have much hope that the Ark could leave the wormhole. The so-called leading the Ark out of the wormhole was just an excuse for them to comfort themselves! Shen Yahui couldn't help but clench his fists when he thought of this. He was unwilling to accept it. He participated in this voyage plan with the determination to expand the territory for the empire, and he must not die in the wormhole. Ten days later, the first ten members who had completed the handover of various tasks returned to the hibernation capsule. They wanted to take another chance while they were alive. If the Ark finally flew out of the wormhole, wouldn't they be able to "keep their feet on the ground" again! Shen Yahui and others who had taken over the work of the Ark came to the bridge in the center of the Ark. The bridge of the Ark was not as crowded as an ordinary spaceship. The bridge of the Ark was as big as a football field. Dozens of seats were suspended in the air, and staff members were sitting on the suspended chairs and shuttling back and forth. The bridge was wrapped in a panoramic holographic screen, which showed the interior of the blue wormhole channel.

Shen Yahui and others sat on their gorgeous floating chairs, put their hands on the armrests at both ends of the chairs, and flew to the center of the bridge.

A huge semicircular conference table was suspended in the center of the bridge, and in the middle of the conference table was a constantly flashing hologram of the Ark.

Shen Yahui came to his seat in front of the conference table and frowned at the hologram of the Ark in front of him.

In order to rush the work, the Empire designed the service life of these Arks to be 600 years.

Because it was originally expected to arrive in more than 300 years, even if some time was delayed on the road, it could reach the target galaxy within 400 years. It was never expected that the Ark would be trapped in the wormhole for so long.

Ark, which is approaching the end of its design life, has begun to experience parts damage. However, because there are not too many damaged parts, Ark's manufacturing center can still manufacture new parts to make up for them in time.

However, Shen Yahui could foresee that if he had not left the wormhole after fifty-seven years, then the Ark Manufacturing Center's parts manufacturing speed would definitely not be able to keep up with the damage speed of the spacecraft.

At that time, as the parts are damaged, the various divisions and functions of the spacecraft are expected to be destroyed, and the Ark will eventually disintegrate in the wormhole.

The situation is more serious than expected!

"We must do something!" Shen Yahui said with a frown, supporting his head with both hands.

"What can we do? We have to know that we are completely helpless in the wormhole space. We don't know when we will be able to fly to the end of the wormhole!" A council member was a little frustrated.

"What would happen if we used a hyperspace jump engine in a wormhole?" Shen Yahui seemed to have thought of something.

"When two different spaces meet, we will be torn into pieces by the fluctuations caused by the space explosion!" A dark-skinned congressman answered. Before coming to Ark, he was a hyperspace researcher in the Empire and had in-depth research on hyperspace. .

"Are you saying that a space explosion will occur if the hyperspace engine is started?" Shen Yahui's eyes lit up!

"If we fully charge the hyperspace engine and launch it, then let it explode in front of us, then can we escape through the gap created by the explosion and ascend to the sky?" Shen Yahui slammed the table.
