Voyage of the Stars

There are not many Lake-class battleships left before mankind, only 2,500. Therefore, if the kobolds and Kuntai people pretend to be second-level civilizations and go to the trading market to test, they will have to build more warships.

It's just a lake-class battleship. With the current construction capabilities of mankind's third-level civilization, it can be completed with eyes closed. It was indeed with their eyes closed. Humans just gave the strong artificial intelligence a task, and then went to prepare for the great hibernation. After sleeping for a few years, they received news that more than 3,000 Lake-class battleships were completed.

Soon, the Kobold Legion and the Kuntai Legion were established. The former had more than 4,000 lake-class warships, and the latter had more than 3,000 ships. They were divided into two routes and headed for the coordinates mentioned in the broadcast.

Neither fleet has residential spaceships. After all, they are going to the interstellar trading market. Bringing a lot of interstellar residents there is a new interstellar civilization.

The two fleets did not set sail directly from the Sunset Red Galaxy where humans are now to the target. Instead, they first headed for the nearby star system. After arriving, they resupplied there before heading to their destination.

This is also done for the sake of human safety.

As for humans, after sending two fleets to set sail, they also set sail, but not to the interstellar trading market. After all, they had not yet found out whether the so-called interstellar trading market was real.

Therefore, the direction in which human civilization sets sail is a blue giant star 56 light-years away from the sunset red galaxy. Blue giants were chosen because their luminosity is bright enough to isolate most large-aperture optical telescopes from distant outer space.

Everything is for safety reasons.

After that, except for a small number of necessary rotating personnel, all human civilization will enter a state of hibernation until the news of the detection by the Kobold Fleet and the Kuntai Fleet comes.

Based on the speed of the Lake-class battleship and the speed of message transmission, humans will have to hibernate for at least seven hundred years.

If we had just left the solar system in the past, seven hundred years would have been a very long time. Human hibernation equipment would have been damaged midway, but it is different now.

With the assistance of strong artificial intelligence, as long as there are resources and materials, human hibernation cabins will always be maintained, and there will basically be no deaths due to line damage.

Of course, this does not mean hibernating for seven hundred years in one go, but in two stages. The reason is that hibernating for too long at one time will also have some unknown effects on the human body.

As time passed, two fleets disguised as secondary civilizations by humans finally set off, and some time after their departure, they were also ready to set sail.

After fully mastering true nanotechnology and possessing strong artificial intelligence, humans are no longer as troublesome as before when it comes to setting sail. It is just like building a warship. They only need to give instructions to strong artificial intelligence.

I saw countless working platforms slowly closing under the control of the automated system. All mechanical equipment such as mining equipment, resource transport ships, energy collection equipment, etc. are under automated control, loaded into large transport ships, and then set sail together with the large fleet.

The space multi-point particle accelerator has also changed from a whole to sub-modules again, and the same is true for countless large space docks in this space.

This is a large fleet with a total of more than 13 million ships of various types, including 10 million sea-class warships, and the remaining more than 3 million are biosphere spacecraft, transport spacecraft, scientific research spacecraft, and engineering spacecraft. And so on.

There has never been a fleet of this size since mankind set foot on the stars.

If it were in the past, when such a large fleet sets sail, there will be scenes of spectacular tail flames. However, humans are no longer what they used to be.

The scene of tens of millions of bright flames ejecting at the same time is indeed majestic, shocking and fascinating, but it is not the case now.

After the sailing order was given, more than 10 million ships were like ghosts. Without any tail flame jets, they gradually increased their speed from being stationary relative to the sunset red galaxy.

The same violent propulsion allows the warship to gain acceleration, but the acceleration that the magnetic thrust engine can provide is much stronger than the second-level civilization thruster. Only in this way can it push such a huge sea-class warship.

As for humans themselves, in order to compete with this stronger acceleration, everyone has to turn on their own overclocking mode during the acceleration phase to resist this super high-G acceleration.

If there is a second-level civilization that sees the way the human fleet is advancing now, they will definitely not know what the principle is. This feeling is very familiar to humans, just like when they saw the Awakener.

So from another perspective, although the propulsion technology of the third-level civilization is not as shocking as the second-level civilization, it is even more unpredictable.

Although there are traces left by magnetic thrust, if it is a second-level civilization, it will not be able to discover the tracks of a third-level civilization because it does not master the relevant magnetic thrust technology and does not have instruments specifically designed to detect the residue of this strange magnetic field. equipment.

From this perspective, the third-level civilization is undoubtedly more hidden than the civilizations below it. If a third-level civilization fleet wants to approach the area controlled by the second-level civilization, then the entire fleet may enter the star system where the second-level civilization is located and not be discovered.

There is no way, this is the gap in technology.

After setting sail this time, Yue Yuan also entered a long-term hibernation after looking at this red dwarf galaxy that had accompanied mankind for countless years. Even though he has a lifespan of five hundred years longer than others, he can't stand it anymore.

Big hibernation, big hibernation, big hibernation!

As soon as the fleet completed its acceleration, ninety-nine percent of humanity entered a long-term hibernation, and then followed the fleet towards another star.

At the same time, the Kobold fleet consisting of more than 4,000 Lake-class warships, and the Kuntai fleet consisting of more than 3,000 Lake-class warships, also disappeared into the stars in the sky.

They are going to the future 560 years later. When they wake up again, the star system where the interstellar trading market is located appears in front of them.

Well, five hundred and sixty years is the time on the spacecraft. In fact, when they arrived at their destination, 587 years had passed in the universe.

When humans arrived at the next star system, they stayed there and waited for news, so there was no obvious time dilation effect.

Five hundred years passed by in such a hurry.

At this moment, humans have already arrived in the target blue giant galaxy, found a planet as a anchorage, and slept here for more than four hundred years.

The entire fleet of more than 10 million ships was quietly moving around a rocky planet. Both inside and outside the fleet were quiet and unpopular. Only occasionally one or two resource carrying spacecraft flew from the planet. Deliver materials to the fleet, otherwise the fleet in this state will be more like a death fleet.

The hibernation cabin is also jokingly called the resting place of the living by humans.
