Chapter 265 To Save or Not to Save?
The atmosphere of the desolate planet is relatively thin and cannot effectively filter out cosmic rays that are harmful to humans.
When these surviving humans landed on this planet with the warship, no one realized the impact of cosmic rays on their bodies due to the huge pressure of survival.
However, as time went on, some of the tens of thousands of surviving humans gradually developed strange diseases, and only then did people realize that cosmic rays had a huge impact on their bodies.
At the suggestion of the warship's scientific officer, they used the last bit of energy on the warship and used the ship's medical equipment to rescue those humans with strange diseases.
The survivors who originally thought they had successfully survived a crisis suddenly discovered that no matter whether they were men or women who had strange diseases, as long as they formed a family with survivors who had never been sick, the women in these families could not conceive smoothly.
At first, everyone thought that it was some unknown lesions in the reproductive system of the sick that caused the inability of women to conceive.
However, as more and more people formed families, some people found that the families formed by people who had been sick and those who had not been sick had women who could not conceive, but the combination of two men and women who had been sick successfully gave birth to babies.
This attracted the attention of some interested people, who seemed to be secretly studying the reasons for this.
It's not a big deal to know this, but everyone was shocked when they checked it out.
The two groups of survivors with different fates actually had reproductive isolation.
They are all human beings, but from a biological point of view, these two groups have become two completely different species.
At first, because the population was small, the two sides could live in harmony.
But with the increase in population and the limited total resources, conflicts began to arise between the two sides.
The originally harmonious social environment has become more hostile.
At that time, the living environment on the surface of the planet was still okay. Although people had to live underground, they could still move on the ground if they were properly protected.
As the conflict between the two sides continued to escalate, the two races eventually parted ways.
The mutated humans migrated collectively, and the settlements of the two sides were far apart, so the conflict was temporarily suppressed.
In this way, the two sides lived peacefully on this planet for hundreds of years.
Hundreds of years later, when the two sides met again, the war broke out, and a war that lasted for hundreds of years swept the entire planet.
At first, both sides could restrain themselves, but as the war continued, someone finally took the lead in pressing the nuclear button in his hand.
In just a few hours, the surface of the planet was covered with mushrooms.
Then the planetary environment deteriorated drastically, and a large number of people died.
The surviving humans had to abandon their assets on the surface and hide in underground caves to survive.
But what was ridiculous was that Qi Yiming found that the group of humans who were not sick at that time had actually developed reproductive isolation from the pure-blooded humans.
In other words, the humans on this planet who once claimed to be the mother race were not just a new species separated from human society.
At this point, Qi Yiming completely lost interest in the humanoids on this planet.
Humanoids, yes, that's what Qi Yiming called them.
Back on the Xuefeng, Qi Yiming sighed at the unrecognizable planet in front of him, waved his hand and ordered the Xuefeng to speed up and leave the local galaxy.
Qi Yiming's adjutant came to him and asked Qi Yiming: "Aren't we going to save these humans?"
Qi Yiming shook his head: "Pay attention to the name, they look the same as humans, but they are no longer human inside, they can only be considered humanoids."
"But we are the mother race after all..."
"Naive... Think about the humanoids on that planet who claim to be the native race."
Qi Yiming thought very clearly that these humanoids must not be saved, otherwise the history of this planet will be repeated in the escape fleet.
Because they were delayed on the desolate planet for a few days, the Xuefeng and the evacuation fleet arrived at the rest point set in advance.
At this time, the place where the fleet rested had become a huge construction site.
The platform made during the jump was dragged out of the colony spacecraft by the engineering spacecraft, and then a large number of industrial equipment were dragged to the platform by small engineering spacecraft.
The engineers waiting in the surrounding area quickly installed these industrial equipment in place.
There are also some engineers working around the three giant colony spacecraft, and the special external attachment points are spliced on the outer shell of the spacecraft.
Qi Yiming looked at the orderly project and nodded with a smile.
The industrial area inside the Hope has also become a large construction site. Factories have been demolished, and apartment buildings have sprung up.
Those who live on the small colonial spacecraft have gone crazy for the qualification to live on the Hope.
The rich use their superpowers, and the poor are unwilling to give up, and use their connections to find ways. It's really like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.
Fang Min has been almost driven crazy by this matter recently.
All kinds of cats and dogs dare to carry things to block his door.
In the end, he really had no choice but to randomly assign whoever the central intelligent brain draws.
Qi Yiming didn't say much after understanding the situation.
There are a lot of things in the fleet, and he can't do everything at once. He only needs to grasp the general direction and let others do other things.
Back in the office, Wang Sen was already waiting for him.
"Why do you come to me again? Aren't you busy enough with the engineering?" Qi Yiming said half-jokingly.
Wang Sen smiled and said to Qi Yiming: "While you were away, I sent people to explore this galaxy and found several good minerals. I was wondering if I should send people to mine some?"
"What's there to ask? We have already started building industrial spaceships. After that, the demand for minerals will be huge. If there are suitable mineral stars, go mine them and fill all the warehouses for me."
"Our warehouse reserves are limited and we must allocate minerals reasonably."
"Why don't you go to the Academy of Sciences or me about this? I can't give you a detailed configuration plan."
Wang Sen smiled awkwardly and said, "I looked for it, and the Academy of Sciences also gave me a configuration table, but..."
"But what? He speaks hesitantly..."
"The volume is a bit large. To complete this chapter of the configuration list, we have to rest in this galaxy for at least three years."
"Three years?" Qi Yiming frowned and repeated.
Let alone three years, it would be good for the fleet to rest in this system for half a year.
Some time has been wasted at the last node. If he rests here for a long time, Qi Yiming cannot guarantee whether the insect swarm will catch up.
He knocked on the table and thought about it for a while and said: "We can collect as much as we can within half a year at most."
