Chapter 289 Rescue

He Zhenzhu exchanged a few words with Qiao Shan and wisely handed over the job of tour guide to Ye Lu. She herself used the excuse to arrange for Qiao Shan's fleet to return to the headquarters alone.

There were crowds of people in front of the dozens of giant observation decks on the Hope, all of whom had heard the news and came to watch the fun.

Originally, everyone thought that no matter how bad the situation of Qiao Shan's fleet was, it would be better than when they first set off on the road to escape. Otherwise, look at the Hope now. Although there are still many things that are not satisfactory, it is much better than when they first set off. .

But when Qiao Shan's fleet gradually approached, everyone opened their eyes wide with disbelief on their faces.

Everyone no longer knew how to describe what they saw.

The outer armor of a large number of spacecrafts fell off, exposing the internal structural layers.

Some spacecraft have only one of the four engines in working condition.

He Zhenzhu stood at the command post and looked at the same scene, frowning deeply.

It was so miserable. Compared with the life Qiao Shan and the others lived, the humans brought out by Qi Yiming were simply living in paradise.

"Xuefeng... is going to carry out remote support repair work. First, repair some spacecraft whose external armor has fallen off seriously."

He Zhenzhu quickly recovered from the shock and ordered the Xuefeng to start repairing the dilapidated spacecraft in Qiao Shan's fleet.

However, these are only the external conditions of the spacecraft. The internal conditions of the spacecraft stunned the engineers who boarded the ship to deliver supplies.

The turbid air in the spacecraft prevented these people from taking off their air-tight helmets.

Looking at the external temperature displayed on the spacesuit inside the ship, the internal temperature of some spacecraft is as high as 56 degrees Celsius, while others are more than 30 degrees below zero.

A large amount of equipment has fallen into disrepair and has lost its original functions.

The humans living in it are all sallow and thin, unable to wash themselves all year round due to lack of water, and their bodies exude a strong sour smell. Even air-tight helmets with air filtering functions cannot filter the smell in the air.

Except for some public areas with certain lighting, the rest of the spacecraft was pitch black.

Qiao Shan's fleet is really at the end of its rope.

At this time, the humans in Qiao Shan's fleet also discovered the anomaly and emerged from the dark corners one by one.

A long period of repressed life has made these people extremely sensitive and have a certain fear of strange human beings.

When the engineers tried to communicate with them, these people stepped back and looked at the engineers wearing spacesuits in the ship with slightly frightened eyes.

When the communication was fruitless, the engineering staff could only walk towards the power furnace cabin of the spacecraft, shaking their heads and sighing.

The spacecraft, which soon had sufficient energy supply, gradually turned on all the equipment in the cabin.

Unfortunately, most of the equipment failed to start successfully, which made the engineers who came to support frowned again.

"Your Excellency, Archon, the condition of these spaceships is really bad. A large amount of equipment needs to be replaced. Some spaceships have even reached the point of being scrapped."

He Zhenzhu listened to the report of the chief rescue officer of the engineering team at the fleet headquarters.

"Then let the industrial spaceships be produced. We will use as many spaceships as we can get back. If it really can't be repaired, the people inside will be dispersed and transferred to our giant colonial spaceships."

On the other side, Ye Lu took Qiao Shan around the Hope.

Qiao Shan had no more words to say except lamenting the good living environment here.

Until Ye Lu took Qiao Shan to the core city area surrounded by a layer of walls.

"Why is there a wall built here?" Qiao Shan asked curiously, pointing to the wall.

Ye Lu explained briefly and then said: "Now the energy extraction center can only be entered by staff serving in the engineering team, and only two people can enter at a time. The rest of the people will be attacked by the armed machines as long as they cross the wall. "

Qiao Shan nodded silently: "In such an important place, no matter how strict the security is, it cannot be too strict."

After standing outside the wall for a while, Qiao Shan said again: "Let's go to the headquarters. After all, there are still my people outside waiting for me to resettle them."

Ye Lu nodded and stopped an unmanned flying car. After a few people got on the car, the flying car quietly left the ground and flew towards the headquarters.

When He Zhenzhu saw Qiao Shan walking into the headquarters, she gave a thumbs up with an expression of admiration: "I'm really impressed that you can bring such a shabby fleet here."

Qiao Shan just smiled bitterly. Who would want to live a life of darkness and hopelessness if he could live a good life?

The fleet's ability to persist here is due to Qiao Shan's contribution, but the most important thing is the fleet members' desire to survive.

Qiao Shan was very fortunate that there had been no large-scale riots in his fleet during such a long voyage, and no one was plotting a rebellion like death.

"Has the rescue work begun?" Qiao Shan looked at the giant holographic display in the headquarters, which was playing the scene outside the Hope.

Tens of thousands of small transport boats shuttle between each spacecraft, delivering equipment and supplies needed by engineering personnel to the target spacecraft.

Looking at the busy rescue workers, Qiao Shan felt more at ease and expressed his gratitude to He Zhenzhu repeatedly.

"Okay, you're welcome!" He Zhenzhu looked at the two of them with a smile, and her eyes made Ye Lu feel ashamed: "We have stayed in this galaxy for a long enough time. After completing the preliminary rescue of your fleet, You must set sail immediately, otherwise the probability of being caught up by the insect swarm will be much greater. "

"I have no objection. Everything is up to you." Qiao Shan nodded: "I wonder when I can see Mr. Qi?"

"Ye Lu and I have just started our term. In the original rotation plan, Qi Yiming was the one who was responsible for joining you, but some people extended their ruling time without authorization."

Qiao Shan smiled and did not comment too much on this matter.

He Zhenzhu glanced at Qiao Shan and then said: "You can live on the Hope. After a while, you can choose to enter the hibernation cabin. When you wake up, you should be able to see Qi Yiming."

Then He Zhenzhu looked at the holographic screen again and raised her hand to point at the screen above: "As for your fleet, arrange for someone to contact us and report a list of supplies. I will arrange for logistics personnel to replenish their supplies on time."

"Sister Ye told me on the way that you have established a joint government?"

"Yes, our fleet composition is a bit complicated. At that time, the fleets of the Yunhuan Federation, the Taro Empire and other countries joined us. In order to facilitate management, we established a joint government."

Qiao Shan lowered his head and thought for a while: "Then let's join us, just like you said, it is convenient for unified management."

He Zhenzhu and Ye Lu were not surprised by Qiao Shan's choice.

"You have to coordinate with Ye Lu on government affairs. She is in charge of these." He Zhenzhu pointed at Ye Lu, who had been standing aside and had not said much. "I am only responsible for the logistics and all engineering work within the fleet. As for the escort fleet, you have to separate it out and temporarily form a separate army. As for the military, we only have wartime command authority."
