Resurrection Empire

Xiao Xingyue had doubts at first, but after only half an hour, she understood the gap between herself and Ren Zhong.

In just half an hour, the number of applicants exceeded one million.

Up to now, after six hours, the total number of applicants has even climbed to tens of millions.

This means that, on average, at least one out of every three soldiers of the Scouting Army chose to sign up.

If it weren't for Ren Zhong's order to terminate the registration, the number of people would continue to rise.

"A total of 70 people are needed. As a result, these fighters knew that they would die, but there were still too many applicants, which brought great difficulties to our screening work."

In front of the workbench, Xiao Xingyue said with a bit of distress, "Even with the pre-screening using the 'net' to eliminate some soldiers who failed to meet the technical ability, there are still more than 300 million qualified candidates. I didn't expect the soldiers to be so enthusiastic. , At the beginning, I should have trusted your judgment and changed the registration mode to first-come-first-served, first-come, first-served."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "That won't work either. The job of a workship is very important, and it's not enough to be determined, you still need to be able to meet the standards."

"But now I can't use a random draw to determine the final candidate, can I? That would hurt morale." Xiao Xingyue looked back at the densely packed names on the projection screen of the workbench and said with a frown.

"Let me think about it." Ren Zhong pondered for a moment, "Give me new conditions."

"What conditions?"

"First, the only child whose parents have both passed away is prohibited from registering. Second, all brothers and sisters in the same family are prohibited from registering. The same gene source and similar parental education background may produce offspring with similar levels. Look at these three people , all surnamed Sami. Ahmed Sami, Lucard Sami, and Pansim Sami are clearly three brothers."

"For the same reason, thirdly, it is forbidden for parents and children to register at the same time. That's it for now, let's screen and see how many people are left."

Sun Ai's efficiency was very fast, and the screening was completed in the blink of an eye, leaving 7 million people.

"Let's filter the rest according to the scores of the latest functional assessment, and remove all those with lower scores from the candidate series. After completing these, start recruiting from each fleet. Give them some time to say goodbye to their families, working fleet It will be launched in a week's time."

……

The three brothers Ahmed, Lucchard and Pansim are excitedly getting together to discuss the next arrangement.

As a minority race on the source star civilization, the ancestors of the three brothers have always had an unsatisfactory life on the source star.For thousands of years, no matter how hard the men and women of the Sami family tried, they could only switch back and forth between the two lowest identities of temporary desolate and wild desolate.

It wasn't until the rapid rise of the Ren's Group completely changed the social atmosphere of Yuan Xing and gave the bottom-level people the opportunity to stand out by virtue of their abilities. This family with extraordinary talent for driving vehicles finally got a chance to soar into the sky.

The father of the three brothers, Mamnuen Sami, passed numerous selections, and as an excellent Veyron X fighter pilot, he took his family on the last train to board the Origin Star Fleet.

Mamnunn participated in the trial battle of the morality committee inside the source star, the "rebellion war" that launched an attack on the Seeker spaceship, and also participated in the battle of the Mother Royal Ship.But Mam Nunn is not a super-level professional in the water drop ship, but a reconnaissance ship pilot of the third reconnaissance army.

When Ren Zhong personally led the team to attack the Queen Mother Ship, Mamnunn, who was over forty years old, came out of hiding, provided effective fire support for several super-level professionals, won the second-class merit, and was promoted for the colonel.

During these years of following the fleet, Mamnunn did not choose to freeze and sleep. He fought on the scout ship for a long time, and used his spare time to teach his three sons carefully and cultivate them into talents.

Mamnoon Sami passed away two years ago.Before he died, he said to his three sons guarding the bed: "If it weren't for the Earl, I would never have the opportunity to display my talents in my life, and I would just be thrown on the surface of the source star, becoming the tail of a gecko that was thrown away. The earl gave me a new life, and I have been fighting for him all my life. I am also very lucky to have lived until now, and I can watch the three of you grow up and become indomitable children. I still remember when I was a child, when I I have never expected to have such a happy and lucky life. This is all given to me by the Earl. The reason why you were born and turned into such a great boy is also an opportunity given by him. Maybe he doesn’t even know about your name, but that doesn't matter, and it doesn't mean he doesn't love you. He's very busy, and he has to be responsible for all people in the entire civilization. He is my god, and he should be your god, and the god of all people. When he When you need it, you have to be like me, bravely sit on the fighter plane and fight for him to the last moment."

After saying this, and persisting until the three sons swore with tears streaming down their faces, Mamnoon Sami closed his eyes contentedly.

At this moment, the three brothers waited for the opportunity to fulfill their vows to their father.

As the eldest brother, Ahmed Sami is already a lieutenant colonel who can command an eye unit, and he is also an ace pilot in the Third Reconnaissance Army.

Although there is a gap between his two younger brothers and him, the difference is only in age and experience, and the absolute level is very close.

The three brothers believed that since the Military Management Department said the mission was so important, the Sami family would definitely shine in the mission.

Father's God will definitely crown the Sami family as he commended Admiral Ding Cang, and make this unknown surname in Yuanxing society a symbol of glory.

My father in heaven must be proud of that too.

Ahmed said to his two younger brothers: "At that time, the three of us will be separated and arranged on three different ships. If this is a secret mission, we will definitely not be allowed to communicate in private. But I want to say , our hearts will always be together."

As he spoke, Ahmed stretched out his hand, and Lucchard and Pansim also stretched out their hands.

The hands of the three brothers hold each other's wrists, forming an equilateral triangle.This triangle represents an indestructible will, a ritual that the three brothers have figured out by themselves.

At this time, the official call-up order was issued.

The three brothers changed color one after another.

Lucchard and Pansim lost the election, and only Ahmed, the eldest brother, was among them.

"This..." Lucard hugged his head in pain.

Pansim sighed in disappointment, "Oh..."

Ahmed lost his mind briefly, and then said heavily: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. My performance on the front line will be closely related to your safety, and I will do my best for you. You are still with me and are still my motivation." .You are still making a difference.”

At this moment, a message came to the watches of the three of them.

This command is a heavy duty video message.

The projection screen rose from the watches of the three brothers at the same time, and the responsible face appeared in the air.

Ren Zhong said calmly: "This is an epitaph written for the living."

"I'm glad so many people have signed up. You all answered my call, even though you all knew this mission would be fatal."

"Although you are still alive, you are destined to die."

"On behalf of myself and everyone in the fleet, thank you for your bravery and sacrifice, and thank you for your generosity to die."

"Thank you."

Chapter 487 The Notch on the Heart

Ren Zhong's message was not only sent to the reconnaissance army, but to the entire ship.

Everyone in the fleet knows that some brothers and sisters will leave themselves.

This is the new sacrifice.

……

The scientific researchers stopped the experiment at hand, the production staff put down the semi-automatic instruments in their hands, and the recruits who were training and fighting stopped one after another, staring up at the huge projection ahead.

All activities on the Origin Star Fleet are temporarily frozen at this moment.

The same picture is being played on countless projection screens.

One after another, willow-like working ships departed from the surface of different annual ring ships, accelerated, changed direction, and then gathered into a bee-swarm-like fleet, going to another road like dandelion seeds blown by the wind.

Since then, the working fleet and the headquarters have been divided into two groups, and they have been separated.

A special emotion is brewing in everyone's heart, and everyone knows that there is another person in their life.

Luchard Sami and Pansim Sami stood shoulder to shoulder, looking up at the picture above their heads together.

Although they could only see the entire fleet, and didn't even know which one was Ahmed's ship, the two of them had established a mysterious connection with this dying fleet.

"Brother can definitely do it." Luchard clenched his fists.

Pansim hummed lightly, "Yes."

Although Ren Zhong only announced the screening rules and decision-making basis, the two brothers have already understood his intention.

Although the two of them felt regretful, they were more grateful.

My father has such an extraordinary attachment to the surname Sami. If the three brothers are all killed in battle, who will educate the next generation of young Sami to become excellent space pilots?The Earl took this into consideration, so he made such a decision.

The two put all their faith in the elder brother.

They firmly believe that if this task is really so difficult and requires the best driver to complete, then the eldest brother will definitely do his part and become the most dazzling one.

There is no theoretical basis for this in the two minds, it is purely blind intuition.

In the command room of the communication hub of the Seeker spacecraft, he stood in front of the console with his hands on his shoulders, looking at the large projection directly in front of him.

Chen Qiao, who took over Hua Yuelan's position, was looking at the smaller central control screen in front of her.

What jumps on the small central control screen is one underlying data after another.

As for the heavy responsibility, he looked up at the simulated star map of the entire fleet headquarters and the fleet of workships above.

He controls the overall situation, while Chen Qiao takes care of the details.

At this time, the fleet is slowly turning, from going straight to the black mist area into a tangential movement.

This steering process will last for a full 20 days, and it will be a gradual fine-tuning. Combined with the synchronous changes of the anti-gravity device, the crew inside the fleet will have no physical sensation at all.

After a while, Chen Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The stability of the information flow communication between the work fleet and the headquarters is still above 99.99%, which is better than the 99.9% level estimated by the previous experiment. The reason for the analysis should be that the teacher sits on the frontier simulation work ship Internally, she optimized the algorithm according to the temporary changes in the edge of the black fog area."

Ren Zhong's eyes fell on the thousands of work ships that were rapidly dispersing in the front, and he nodded slightly, "After all, she is the best programmer and artificial intelligence expert in the fleet. With her sitting on the front line, there should be such a team. Performance."

After speaking, Ren Zhong turned and left.

Back in his office, Ren Zhong called Ysu Locke again, and gave a few simple instructions, saying that he was about to enter a frozen slumber, and unless the working fleet encountered a serious situation, do not wake himself up.

While he is sleeping, Ysu will assume the main management work within the fleet.

Ren Zhong made some general adjustments.

During the early days of the fleet's departure, contraception was strictly prohibited.

经过总计10+3+12，共计25年的远航，即便没有人工培养胚胎, 舰队的总人口规模已经逐渐攀升到了近30亿。

Although Ren Zhong hopes that the more people the better, he still has to consider the upper limit of the fleet's load.

Even though a large amount of resources have been collected in the Tenglong Nebula, the annual ring ship used by the fleet has produced many small ships, but now these small ships are overcrowded, and these small ships have a clear division of labor, and the functions are not comprehensive .

It has been proposed to manufacture small and medium-sized passenger ships with low defense performance and focus on living space, to further accommodate the population.

But Ren Zhong rejected this proposal for the time being.

A too narrow activity area is not conducive to cultivating a new generation.

In high-speed spaceflight, the cost of personnel exchange between different ships is also high. Every time a small ship is dispatched from a large ship, most of them are to perform important military tasks and scientific research and production tasks.Personnel cannot communicate with each other as seamlessly as they did on the surface, which is not conducive to the implementation of a comprehensive education system for children and young people, followed by classification, screening and promotion.

Therefore, at the current level, the population should be properly controlled to form a new concept that soldiers are more expensive than more expensive.

Ren Zhong put forward a big goal, and the specific ones were completed and implemented by the team led by Yisu Locke.

Yisu drafted several plans, including liberalization of contraceptive measures, short-term implementation of family planning and quota system, and other strategies.

After reading it, Ren Zhong said: "This is a feasible temporary plan. In the 18 years we have leaped into the black mist area, we must control the population size to less than 32 billion. After the matter in the black mist area is over, I will then Consider whether to change tactics as appropriate."

Since Liu An has shown obvious hostility and has become a huge threat that the fleet has to face, it is obvious that the Origin Star Fleet must be temporarily disconnected from the Imperial Supernet in five years at the latest and become a The inconspicuous lone army advanced cautiously.

After leaving the black mist area, it will take another five years for the fleet to reach the Broken Star Ring.

This broken star ring is a huge planetary belt revolving around the Nanxiang star cluster. It looks like the Saturn ring in the solar system, but its scale is countless times larger.

There are at least tens of millions of small planets of various sizes in the entire broken star ring.

In addition, in the area of ​​the Broken Star Ring close to the Nanxiang star cluster, there are still a large number of space pirates hiding in it, choosing different asteroids as their bases.

Some space pirates have even existed and developed for more than 5000 years, looking like a thriving space civilization.

Its force size is even stronger than that of the Origin Star Fleet.

In the normal route, there is a navigable channel in the Shattered Starlink that is officially stamped and approved by the empire, and any space pirates are prohibited from getting involved.

Once space pirates dare to raid the spacecraft in this route, they will be severely punished by the military and political departments of the Nanxiang star cluster.

The outgoing tracker spacecraft and the colonial fleet returning to the Nanxiang star cluster from the direction of the source star usually use this passage, and they will be recorded in advance.

In this official channel, dozens of supply and rest points similar to post stations have also been built.

For other Xun-level colonial fleets and merchant ships, arriving at this channel is basically equivalent to arriving home.

You only need to keep going along the channel, and it will take three years to pass safely, and in another three years, you will reach the edge of the Nanjiuxing gravitational zone with a jump channel.

But for the Origin Star Fleet, this is obviously not the case. It must bypass the Broken Star Ring and arrive at the South Nine Star without anyone noticing, and then contact the higher-level personnel of the Mechanical Empire as quickly as possible to hand over the giant germ cells , to enter the management sequence of the empire, so that Liu An can be cautious.

So on the whole, it will take 15 years for the Yuanxing fleet to reach its destination after leaving the black mist area.

If the population is really going to explode, Ren Zhong feels that 15 years is enough.

Of course, for the next 18 years, he is not absolutely forbidden to have children.

Ordinary families can raise two children and show talent in academics, production technology, military capabilities, and various other special abilities. People with higher ratings can increase the upper limit of raising children as appropriate.

This kind of policy may seem a bit ruthless, but with Ren Zhong's current authority, there will be no backlash.

After everything was arranged, he stopped talking and just went back to sleep.

……

A year later, Ahmed Sami was sitting in the driver's seat, staring at the simulated star map in front of him.

In the star map, the olive-shaped black fog area is simulated as a light yellow translucent structure.

997 light green vertical data lines are extending upward from the center of the black mist area, all the way to the outside of the black mist area.
