Chapter 77 The Expedition of the Federal Fleet
Just as the Jego spacecraft docked on planet Hut III.
In the distant depths of the starry sky, on a wandering planet outside the chaotic star field.
The Federal Fleet is organizing a major retreat.
They have been docking here for a while. Tang Haobo went to pick up Su Chen, and He Xiuran and Xiao Ping jointly managed the entire federal fleet, and based on this planet, excavated and collected any possible resources.
They have discovered rare metal mines on this planet and have been digging.
In the starry sky, a wandering planet is difficult to detect in most cases, and it is even less likely to be encountered casually. The reason why the crystal cluster was able to find it is due to the countless calculations of the crystal cluster on the way to the chaotic star field. But in the same way, the crystal cluster can be found here, and people with enough skills can also do it.
Before Su Chen and others were exposed, this place might be relatively safe, but it is no longer the case now.
After receiving information and new routes from the crystal cluster, the Federal Fleet immediately began to retreat.
But this process also takes time.
Yuan Jingcheng walked on the bumpy ground and took a few breaths under his mask.
The first ark in the distance has taken the lead in airing, and the light shines on the entire mine.
The huge engineering transport aircraft brought a huge number of equipment back to the spacecraft, and the ground workers needed to board the manned floating airship at the designated junction point.
It is a helpless move for Yuan Jingcheng to appear here.
The Ark is the Ark of Doomsday, not the future travel spacecraft. In the shortage of resources, people who are not "rich" must rely on their own hands to fight for the share of the material to survive, especially those of the Ark like Yuan Jingcheng and others - they are not special talents, members of the fleet system, and families of martyrs. Because they are drawn by lottery, their own share of survival is extremely small. They can only become coolies under the circumstances through the opportunities given by the Federal Fleet.
Yuan Jingcheng was wearing supporting survival equipment weighing more than ten pounds. Even with simple exoskeleton assistance, his movements were still particularly difficult. He walked hard on the potholes and found it took him a long time to see the flash of the airship.
Yuan Jingcheng was not the last arrival. He only made half of the people on the airship, and the rest were still approaching here from various positions.
The mines here are mainly automation, and there are very few places that require humans, and they are basically hub locations. Humans need to stay in the same place as a part for a long time, so they wear heavy functional equipment.
And at this time, it seems difficult to gather together.
The Federal Fleet's spacecraft were limited and they could not bring back a large number of people one by one, so they could only adopt this method.
The airship was quiet, and everyone was breathing heavily behind the oxygen mask, looking at each other and looking at the fatigue in each other's eyes.
After Yuan Jingcheng, people boarded the airship one after another, but there was no one at all, and the airship took off.
The Federation fleet cannot wait for everyone. The empire's iron hooves have crushed Darolon and are expanding in all directions. No one can afford the risk of waiting for a person who may die.
The light of the ark, which was like a huge searchlight above his head, went out first, and the planet's surface suddenly dimmed. With the rumbling sound, the airship closed, took off, and headed towards the nearest ark.
Yuan Jingcheng stared at the dark planet under his feet for the last time. He didn't know if it was an illusion. Under the light of the airship propeller, a figure was stumbled on the pothole-filled ground that was swallowed by the boundless darkness, chasing her desperately, and finally fell into the boundless darkness in despair.
The airship took off and flew into Ark 7.
Immediately, the Federation fleet accelerated on the surface of the planet and headed towards the endless galaxy.
The airship docked in the ark's airport. Yuan Jingcheng stood up tiredly, took off his heavy equipment, and received a round of disinfection and inspection before he could truly enter the ark.
His personal share is 100 points more because of his labor, while his daily fixed share is only 1 point.
1 o'clock means a meal that can be eaten, and when it is spent, there is nothing left.
Of course, the share can also be exchanged for other survival materials and drugs, etc. It is equivalent to money, but its purchasing power is limited and the distribution is even more limited. If you only have one share today and you need medicine and food, then you can only choose one of these two. Eating cannot be exchanged for medicine, and if you exchange medicine, you will go hungry today. No one will have special cases, let alone consider social welfare, etc. This is a policy formulated by the federal government in resource shortage. It can only ensure everyone's survival and cannot take into account the situation of everyone.
Su Chen and his team were running around in the chaotic star field, but the situation in the federal fleet was not good either. The scarcity of materials must squeeze everyone's living environment and living conditions.
After so long, the interior of Ark 7 has long been no longer as advanced and refined as it was when it was just launched. Instead, it is as chaotic as the lower city of the Demon Capital in the Federal era.
Yuan Jingcheng walked into Ark 7 with his footsteps.
The long interstellar journey and cruel reality have long dispelled any fantasy of his dreamy starry sky.
His cabin is No. 1065, located on the lower and middle floors of Ark 7, fortunately a relatively good location.
When he came back, he found a middle-aged man with a vulgar appearance wandering at the door. He seemed to have been squatting here for a long time, and there was even a "bedding" on the ground in front of the door.
Yuan Jingcheng suddenly understood what this person was waiting for.
The other party is waiting for him to come back. If the owner of the cabin dies, without a designated heir, whoever applies first will get the right to use the room first. Some people who do not have a "house" will obtain a new house in this way - expecting that others will die outside and never come back.
A new industrial chain is taking shape in the ark, that is, cabin resources and "house speculation" under space.
In theory, everyone who climbs the ark has their own supporting cabin, but they can sell their own cabins in exchange for other more needed resources.
This is another form of housing speculation.
The upper level may have the upper level’s thinking, and the future of the federal fleet may be a big problem, but at present, most ordinary federal people can only focus on the little bit of survival in front of them.
The same is true for Yuan Jingcheng.
He returned to his room, washed it with simple hot water with the same daily quota, and then hurried out again. This time, he was heading to Room 1759.
When he knocked on the door gently, footsteps came from inside. The other party seemed to have observed through the camera for a while before slowly opening the door, revealing a young and beautiful woman's face.
She was a little surprised: "Are you back?"
Yuan Jingcheng nodded, looked inside for a moment, instinctively trying to walk in, but at the last moment he realized something, paused slightly, and asked, "Can I go in?"
The girl was stunned for a moment before nodding with a smile: "Of course."
She welcomed Yuan Jingcheng into the room, which was no different from Yuan Jingcheng's.
But on the bed in this room, there was a three-year-old girl playing with a slightly worn doll.
The moment he saw her, Yuan Jingchengcai let out a long breath, and his tense face relaxed slightly.
