Chapter 404: Collective Hibernation Plan
After reading the report, Yu Yifeng immediately stood up and inspected the entire Deep Space.
What he saw were all kinds of dilapidated facilities and missing and torn armor plates. There was already a vacuum outside.
Through field investigations, the situation was more serious than he had imagined. The content in the report was only underestimated, not overestimated.
In a few days, the staff will calculate more complete data. Anyway... no matter what, the resources filled in will be countless.
"Our ice will be used up in a few years. Relying on the natural heat dissipation capacity of the spacecraft, the industrial capacity will be discounted..." said Yuriko standing aside.
This is another bad news.
Yu Yifeng was facing a broken wall, looking at the starlight passing quickly outside the wall.
Between him and the universe, even the wall was broken and there was no obstruction.
Why is the current situation so similar to the green light man at the beginning... Without a planet as a backing, and needing to drift long distances, it seems a bit empty no matter how you look at it.
"The resources in hand must be saved as much as possible."
"A distance of a thousand light years..." Yu Yifeng frowned tightly.
Crossing a thousand light years and running to another cantilever is the safest and most reliable solution.
"Of course, you can run less, but it's not so safe after all."
It's a long journey, and I don't know how many things I have to go through in the middle. Although the major resource warehouses of Noah are still full, he still doesn't have enough sense of security in his heart.
In fact, in the meeting just now, many scientists complained collectively and put forward a bold and crazy plan:
... Collective hibernation!
Reduce material consumption through hibernation.
Since resources are a bit difficult, the Gold Coast, large breeding farms, and virgin forests, just shut them all down...
It can't be said that all hibernation, as long as a small population is retained to maintain the normal operation of the spacecraft.
There are many scientists who are willing to stay awake for a long time to engage in scientific research. As for the problem of life span, it can be solved with perfect elements.
Well, when this plan was proposed, it was met with unprecedented fierce opposition...
Yu Yifeng also refused without thinking.
Collective hibernation, it's a fucking joke, right?
However, after a heated debate, many people suddenly changed their minds and accepted this statement.
"Hibernation... seems... to make some sense."
For current technology, hibernation chambers are not too difficult and have long been relatively mature. Medical freezing experiments have almost reached a success rate of 99.99%.
The technology of hibernation comes from the Nix civilization.
There is a unique life on Nix Star, called "winter frog". Due to some unique biological components, this "winter frog" can still survive even after being frozen for thousands of years.
The smart Nix people invented the hibernation chamber by studying this creature. It is used to treat insomnia, delay aging, etc.
Some Nix people with terminal illnesses also want to rely on this hibernation technology to sleep in the future for disease treatment.
However, these wealthy people did not expect that civilization has no future...
These terminally ill patients, of course, died in the hibernation chamber.
And the hibernation chamber technology is also a necessary skill for interstellar navigation. Human biologists have been studying and improving this facility to prepare for emergencies.
Yu Yifeng returned to his office and whispered, "If we hibernate collectively, the consumption of resources must be very small. If everyone hibernates, there won't be too many ethical issues. It's just like sleeping, but the sleep time is a bit long..."
"And it doesn't need all the population to join the hibernation. Everyone can take turns to thaw and work, and they can also have children, which can effectively increase our population."
"Let the people adapt first!"
...
Just like that, when all kinds of maintenance work on the spacecraft was in full swing, the news of collective hibernation had spread. This news was like a heavy bomb, dropped on the Noah crowd.
This contingency plan has aroused heated discussions among people.
Hibernation sounds a bit weird...Some people are curious and want to try it, while others have goose bumps all over their bodies and can't accept it.
Some people are worried about whether it will affect the growth and development of children, whether it will affect pregnant women, etc.
Various experts came out to explain, and even went in to sleep personally...The whole thing was very noisy, but overall, it was still orderly.
At this time, the people are reasonable and are trying to adapt to new things, and the new government has not yet decided whether to implement this large-scale plan.
After all, the resources in the Noah are not so scarce that everyone needs to hibernate collectively... If we force ourselves to survive these hundreds of years, it seems that there will be no problem.
"It's just that everyone's life will be more embarrassing. Scientific research will also slow down due to insufficient resources. Well... The premise is that the resources for repairing the Deep Space should not exceed the standard."
Of course, some people think that it is not bad to spend this long and boring time through collective hibernation... Various debates have appeared in the streets and alleys.
"After a few days of acceleration, we can no longer spy on any information from the outside world..."
In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhang Peng was sighing.
"In five days, it will surpass the speed of light. Then the spacecraft will stop urgently, turn, accelerate again, repeat this several times, and then head towards the Centaur Cantilever. It is estimated that the voyage will take more than three hundred years... as long as this last one is passed... During the dangerous period, it will be difficult for the opponent to catch up with us.”
"I didn't expect to be able to run to another galaxy cantilever! Incredible!"
Zhang Peng looked at the black hole picture on the screen. This was the external observation image of the spacecraft. The two groups of light were all concentrated at the front and rear ends, just like two big suns.
This scene will continue for hundreds of years!
There won't be any changes during this period, except that at any time a few stars in front will pass by and run to the back.
He sighed and said: "But it gets a bit boring after the novelty and excitement. Does flying around like this count as exploring the Milky Way? It doesn't sound romantic at all. It's just flying endlessly in the dark... It would be nice if the universe was smaller. The sailing time is too long.”
Directly opposite him, Black was playing the interstellar war game "New Humanity VS Destroyer" with great interest.
In order to follow the trend, this latest game was produced in only three days and has been well received by the public.
Hei heard Zhang Peng's complaint and said directly: "Actually, this kind of trouble is completely unnecessary. Hibernation chambers are a common method for interstellar navigation... It is equivalent to sleeping for hundreds of years... I really don't understand , What’s so confusing, why is our warp speed not fast enough?”
Zhang Peng shook his head and said: "To put it lightly, I have been sleeping for hundreds of years. I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart... But having said that, if everyone is asleep, there will be no problem in theory, and there will be no trouble such as confusion about seniority. …But it’s a bit weird to think about it for hundreds of years.”
"Too young, too young..."
Hei said in his heart, but said nothing with his mouth, so as not to quarrel with Zhang Peng again.
"By the way, do you know anything else about perfection? This substance can transform life, make people smarter, stronger, and extend their life span. What else is it used for?"
Zhang Peng asked again: "Looking at this function alone, it's nothing...increasing life span and so on. With the improvement of technology, it will naturally improve gradually. It can't be said to be too expensive, right? Now it has become We have achieved universal welfare..."
"There is also intelligence... doesn't it have a brain chip? The effect of the brain chip is better than that of the perfect element? Although the two can be superimposed... does the perfect element really have a great value that we don't know about? "
"..."
Hei was silent for a moment and put down the game in his hand: "Yes, in addition to these functions, it is a valuable trading target of advanced civilizations. The price is very high and can be used in some trading stations of advanced civilizations... But what does it have? What it’s for, I don’t know.”
