Chapter 288 Expedition
For Xiao Yun, it was very difficult to make the decision to "return to the Raka Galaxy". The things experienced in the Raka Galaxy have become nightmares that entangled Xiao Yun's life. It is like a closed wound, which still makes Xiao Yun feel a burst of pain. But... Xiao Yun knew that only by pricking the wound again and releasing the pus inside the wound can this scar truly heal.
After a long wait for 40 years but still not waiting for the result, Xiao Yun chose to face this matter bravely. In addition, the thing similar to the challenge book also directly involved Xiao Yun, which made Xiao Yun unable to continue to escape from any aspect.
After finally making this decision, Xiao Yun's heart immediately relaxed. So Xiao Yun's mind quickly calmed down and then entered his sleep.
The sleep was very stable, and the nightmare that had been entangled with Xiao Yun for many days did not appear. After dawn, Xiao Yun came to the Deep Space Safety Investigation Bureau again and expressed his thoughts to the two investigators.
Investigators said: "Just last night, the head of state proposed that the Earth-class spacecraft be set off for the Raka Galaxy had been approved by the voting meeting. The final decision was to send an Earth-class spacecraft, fifteen Ocean-class spacecraft, two hundred Everest-class spacecraft and two thousand Tarzan-class spacecraft. The total force of this expedition will reach three million people, so it is not a big deal to add you."
Another investigator added: "In fact, the Head of State himself also means to let you participate in this expedition, because the current intelligence shows that you have many connections with the things in the Laka Galaxy, and letting you participate in this expedition may have some unexpected results. However, the Head of State's think tank team considered what you encountered in the Laka Galaxy and believed that your current mentality was not suitable for participating in this expedition, so they finally denied the Head of State's proposal. However, since you have taken the initiative to make this request, there is nothing to do. You can go back and arrange your own affairs first and do some preparations. We will report to the superior authorities. If you are quick, your request will be approved by the evening."
"Thank you." Xiao Yun nodded and expressed his gratitude to the two of them. "It is a very difficult thing for me to make this decision, but... I think I can no longer escape. Whether it is for my future life or for the machine life that may threaten our entire human civilization, I will go this trip."
"Very good." The investigator said, "Good luck."
This matter was decided so simply, just as the investigator said. In the evening, Xiao Yun received the notice and immediately set off from Earth to the Neptune Deep Space Voyage Base to prepare for departure. At this moment, there were already fifty Taishan-class spacecraft and ten Mount Everest-class spacecraft at the Neptune Deep Space Voyage Base, and an ocean-class spacecraft waiting to set off.
This total of 61 spacecraft will first go to the Sirius system, and meet with all the other spacecraft participating in the expedition, and then head to the Laka Galaxy together. Including all the spacecraft mobilization, the time spent on interstellar voyages will take in total for more than 20 years.
This is how life in the interstellar era is. For people today, it is common to spend a few years or more than ten years on a trip. Not to mention an interstellar expedition that spans dozens of light years.
After the head of state signed the order, the huge government machinery began to operate. In just one galaxy of the solar system, at least tens of millions of people were affected by the order. Soldiers began to gather at the deep space voyage base, engineers began to carry out pre-war maintenance on the spacecraft, and logistics personnel began to mobilize the resources needed for combat and survival... Many people began to be busy, and Xiao Yun was just one of these tens of millions of people.
But compared to the entire human civilization, no, just compared to the population living in the entire solar system, these tens of millions of people are only a very small part. These tens of millions have been affected. Hundreds of times more than these tens of millions of people are not aware of this. People still live, live, work, leisure and entertainment according to their usual trajectory...
Human civilization is too large and the population is too large.
It is impossible to navigate superluminal speed within the star system, so it took Xiao Yun almost a month to come from Earth to the Neptune Deep Space Voyage Base. Because of the signing of the previous order, a large number of people had already gathered in the entire Neptune base. The dullness of the past in the base was swept away and began to become noisy and prosperous. If it weren't for the fact that most of the people coming and going, Xiao Yun would have thought he had come to a lively market.
Xiao Yun took his employment book and found the captain of the Ocean-class spacecraft. Under the captain's arrangement, Xiao Yun assigned a room for daily life, and was temporarily appointed as "Information Analysis Staff". However, due to Xiao Yun's special identity, the captain did not assign him specific work. For the captain, his mission was only to bring Xiao Yun to the Sirius system and then hand him over to the captain of the only Earth-class spacecraft in the Expeditionary Legion. Xiao Yun's specific work tasks will be arranged by the captain of the Earth-class spacecraft.
The captain of the Earth-class spacecraft is named Emerk. He is also the true commander-in-chief of the Expedition Legion. All personnel and spacecraft participating in this expedition must be controlled and commanded by Emerk.
This is a real high-level in human civilization. Nominally, his level is even higher than that of the highest executive of a star system. After all, human civilization now occupies dozens of star systems, while Earth-class warships only have three.
Letting such a big man personally lead thousands of combat spacecraft and millions of soldiers to the Raqqa Galaxy is enough to show the importance the human civilization government attaches to this incident.
Of course, Xiao Yun knew very clearly that facing a robot empire that could exist that infinitely replicate itself, it would not be an exaggeration to pay attention to it. After all, it could destroy an entire civilization and even occupy an entire river galaxy... (To be continued.)
