Chapter 3106 Ghost Fleet

"From...the 'untouchable' who fend for themselves in the wasteland and yellow sand, to the supreme leader of the earth's civilization, and the first commander who marched into the big universe!"

Li Yao was moved, "Is it such a magnificent and incredible life?"

His heart was full of mixed feelings, and he was deeply shocked by Wan Zanghai's inexplicable rise.

It is naturally easy to despise and criticize others for their despicability and shamelessness. Li Yao has also denounced many schemers and careerists similar to Wan Zanghai.

But more important than condemning is coming up with solutions and continuing the hope of civilization.

Li Yao didn't have time to worry about whether Wan Zanghai was good or bad, and he didn't have time to polish the dirt and dust that fell on his Dao heart.

Because with the demise of the powerful and rich, after the strong integration of Wanzanghai, the new immigrant fleet has rushed out of the solar system and is heading towards an unknown distance.

The civilization of the earth has ushered in a new page. It has officially sublimated or "transformed" into the Yuanshi civilization. All the people on the earth were destroyed by the solar storm. Now, after being infected by the cold vacuum and the dark universe, they have a new name Yuanshi Clan !

The "cutscene" ended here, and Li Yao once again faced countless options that fell from the sky, hitting his soul like a waterfall.

On the one hand, he must coordinate the hibernation and waking time of scientists and engineers to ensure that all the technologies necessary for star sea navigation can be advanced in an orderly manner. Scientific research reserve team; on the one hand, we must constantly plan and fine-tune the route so as not to lose our way in the vast sea of ​​stars; on the other hand, we must always pay attention to the invasion of meteorite rain and cosmic radiation, even if it is a meteorite like fine sand and dust , may cause slight trauma to the outer shell and power unit of the starship. After tens of thousands of years of accumulation and growth, no matter how small the trauma is, it may lead to the fission and disintegration of the entire starship. These are major matters of life and death.

In addition, the more serious and hidden threat than cosmic radiation and starship damage is the mutation of people's hearts.

The people on earth originally lived under the blue sky, on the solid earth, bathed in the warm sunshine, a carefree planetary race.

But now, they have completely lost their homes and roots, and have to spend tens of thousands of years and thousands of generations, wandering in darkness and despair, and may become wanderers in the sea of ​​stars forever.

The narrow space, the claustrophobic environment, the deep sea of ​​stars, the end point is unknown, and the next second may lead to death... Such cruel torture is like a vat of black venom, eroding people's hearts , turning them into two completely different lives from the past.

Similar transformations have also happened in the Flying Star Realm.

As Xiao Xuance, the leader of the cultivators in the Flying Star Realm, said, in the black sea of ​​stars, it is very easy to transform a steadfast cultivator into a cultivator, usually it only takes... a second.

And the people in the Flying Star Realm, at least they still have their history, remember the glory of the Star Sea Empire in the past, and know that there are countless great worlds and countless existences of the same kind outside their own small world. Such cognition, Enough to be the consolation and hope against the invasion of darkness.

However, these Earthlings, the Yuanshi Clan, have completely lost everything. Since then, although the Star Sea is large, they can no longer find more trustworthy similar people and homes where they can sleep peacefully. What a pain, what a horror, what a despair!

It is not surprising that such venom, after hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years of aimless long-distance travel and fermentation, will distort human nature into any deformed and hideous appearance.

Faced with all kinds of challenges, Li Yao was quite overwhelmed and flustered.

The point is that he does not want to make the most beneficial choice for the present, but to consider the development of the immigrant fleet tens of thousands of years later, and make the most beneficial choice for tens of thousands of years later. In many cases, it will inevitably hurt the present The interests of the passengers are even more ruthless, sacrificing many things with a hard heart.

Through such a test, Li Yao once again confirmed that he was definitely not a commander-in-chief.

Maybe he is only suitable to play the role of a passionate high school student, or as a battle flag fluttering in the wind, chant some idealized sacred slogans, but when encountering complicated and difficult practical problems, they need to be more calm , rational and even dark characters, such as Jin Tuyi, Bai Boss, Lei Chenghu, Li Linghai, and even people like Long Yangjun.

Li Yao felt that he had made many mistakes.

Under his command, a series of serious problems broke out within the immigrant fleet, and there were even several internal fights.

On the outside, they also passed through an interstellar dust belt as thick as ink, withstood several sudden radiation storms, and almost hit another wave of meteorite rain. The ship caused a lot of damage and consumed a lot of valuable resources.

When the test time was advanced for thousands of years, they only sailed tens of light years, but more than half of the immigrant starships were damaged, and more than 30% of the hibernators were due to mechanical failures, lack of resources, and civil strife. Died in his sleep, even the "leader" played by Li Yao was killed by claustrophobic rebels during the civil unrest.

The people who are still alive have long lost the vigor and vitality they had when they rushed out of the solar system thousands of years ago. They have unshaven beards, loose skin, sunken eye sockets, dull expressions, and dull faces, just like a group of people trapped in a steel coffin The walking dead, driven by the last instinct of survival, stagger forward numbly.

Li Yao was worried, thinking that he had made a series of wrong choices, and his performance must have been very bad.

But the voice remained silent, noncommittal about his performance.

Even when the "leader" he played was killed by the rebel crew, he comforted Li Yao by saying that it was not a "mistake" because in real history, as the commander of the immigration fleet, the first leader of the "Yuanshi Clan" The patriarch's Wan Zanghai also ended up like this.

Wan Zanghai's commanding power is naturally a hundred times higher than Li Yao's, but the countless practical problems and deadly threats he faces are also a hundred times more complicated and arduous than the generalized options in the test.

No matter how iron-blooded and wise Wan Zanghai is, he is just a mortal. After decades of lurking minions and cultivating his wings, he has already approached the limit of human life span when he left the solar system, and it is impossible for him to stay awake for a long time to control The fleet can only go into hibernation and wake up every five to ten years to deal with the problems that have occurred in the last five to ten years.

Such a way of domination is doomed to be impossible to rule for a long time that group of brutal and rebellious Radiation Tribe, Transformers and Superpowers.

Time can change many things, including eroding the prestige of an Iron Marshal.

The immaturity of the first-generation hibernation technology had a serious impact on Wan Zanghai's intelligence and character.

Gradually, he became cloudy and moody, and even, like many crew members, suffered from claustrophobia and paranoia.

He once pointed to the deep corridor on the starship and said that he saw countless ghosts from the earth wandering and wandering there.

He also ordered the fleet to speed up regardless of everything, even if it ran out of fuel. The reason was that he saw that on the burning earth, the souls of all people were not annihilated, but were condensed into a brand new world by the solar storm and the spiritual magnetic field. ...the ghost civilization, and this ghost civilization is quietly following them, trying to take the cruelest revenge on them.

He didn't even dare to enter the hibernation state, because once he entered hibernation, he would be overwhelmed by the eyes of countless innocent souls, grabbed by the scorched hands of the tragic dead, and dragged to the deepest part of the Nine Netherworld.

In this case, it is only a matter of time before the commander-in-chief and the crew have a fierce conflict.

Wan Zanghai died, was torn apart by the loyal crew members in the past, and thrown into the power furnace, fulfilling his consistent ideals and becoming a bunch of small sparks to promote the advancement of civilization.

But the voyage continued, and anyway, in the dark and cold vacuum, there was no power to stop them.

In the thousands of years of tests that followed, Li Yao felt that his performance was getting worse and worse, and all the crew members were becoming more and more desperate, cruel and irritable.

They even felt a little self-defeating, holding back their energy, wanting to completely destroy themselves in a violent riot or natural disaster, and end this never-ending nightmare.

This is not an expedition or an escape, it is just a "death sentence" that takes 10,000 years to execute. Many crew members think so.

When Li Yao squeezed out his last brain cells, exhausted all his computing power, and devoted himself to maintaining the immigration fleet for a full ten thousand years, they only had forty-nine starships that were riddled with holes and horrific. , about 14 million dispirited, angry and resentful passengers, empty fuel and resource bays.

At this moment, they have not yet mastered the ability to travel through the four-dimensional space. No matter how much they improve the speed of conventional navigation, they have only just flown 500 light-years. The source of the meteorite rain is even more distant.

The mountains and rivers are exhausted, ammunition and food are exhausted, and this is their burial place.

"Failed?"

Li Yao was not a person who gave up lightly, but he didn't know how to continue the test when he came to such a desperate situation.

Maybe he should have been more ruthless from the start?

No, it's useless, even if more potential of the crew is squeezed out, what's the difference if the exploration distance is changed from 500 light-years to 600 light-years?

Li Yao was just curious, didn't the voice say that he would be given three chances? But he obviously just got a suggestion, and he was desperate. Could it be that his voice was going to renege on his promise?

While hesitating, an incredible and frightening picture suddenly appeared in Li Yao's sea of ​​consciousness!

In front of the desperate immigrant fleet running out of ammunition and food, a group of lavender ripples suddenly rose in the empty star sea. The ripples surged to both sides like a tide, but they tore a huge crack, and burrowed through the crack. A fat tentacle appeared!
