Sailing into Deep Space
The seven Biosphere Spaceship are a treasure trove for humankind.
In the future, the flora and fauna aboard Biosphere Spaceship will support humanity's Life Science research. Humanity will also continuously provide new habitats for their reproduction—eight, nine, or even more Biosphere Spaceship.
Once all the Biosphere Spaceship had moved from the orbit of Wolf 1061 c Planet to its satellite orbit, the entire human race began to move.
One by one, the spaceships began to detach from their orbits around the Earth and slowly headed towards their designated coordinates in space. As more spaceships arrived at their destinations, the previously loosely packed ships gradually formed a massive formation in space.
This is a fleet consisting of 10 Mountain-Class Warship, 60 Callisto -class warships, 3 Space Carrier carrying Self-Detonating Drone, 300 Small Escort Ship, 15 Residential Spaceship, 3 Factory Spaceship, 10 Engineering Equipment Transport Spaceship, 7 Captive Wolf Biosphere Spaceship, and 5 Resource Spaceship.
At the forefront of the fleet were ten Mountain-Class Warships, which were distributed in Three-Dimensional Space in two echelons, one in front and one behind. Each Mountain-Class Warship was accompanied by six Callisto-Class Warships.
The Flagship Lyra and three Space Carrier equipped with Self-Detonating Drone are in the middle second echelon.
Following the flagship are the Engineering Ship, equipment-carrying spacecraft, engineering spacecraft, Resource Spaceship, and Biosphere Spaceship, and then the Residential Spaceship.
The three hundred Small Escort Ship were distributed around the outermost perimeter of the entire fleet, in all directions: above, below, left, right, and rear. This was the overall formation for the fleet's preparation for departure.
The light from the distant Red Dwarf Star cast a bright metallic sheen on the tail of each spaceship, a radiance that shone with technology and the wisdom of humankind.
At that moment, Yue Yuan stood at the porthole of the bridge, looking out the window.
What was originally a blank space is now filled with ships slowly rotating, their tails glowing faintly. At this moment, all the ships' engines are idling.
Looking back, Yue Yuan did not see the star Wolf 1061, because the Lyra was currently in the shadow of the spaceship behind it.
It was a Residential Spaceship. From Yue Yuan's position, it looked as if it were bathed in a bright, blazing sun. The light from the Red Dwarf Star radiated from its rear, illuminating every massive structure within it.
"Goodbye, Wolf 1061 c. Thank you for providing humanity with abundant Biosphere Resources. If humanity becomes more advanced in the future, we will definitely come to see you again."
Yue Yuan silently bid farewell to the Star System that had nurtured humanity for over forty years. Although he thought this to himself, he actually felt that this farewell might be forever.
Because this star system has become Extremely Dangerous Star Region, Wolf 1061 could be destroyed if war breaks out.
Even if it isn't destroyed, once aliens discover that there is a complete biosphere here, they will likely take everything, and they might even take the entire planet with them.
Just because humans can't do something doesn't mean that advanced civilizations can't.
"Good luck to you, and of course, I wish all of humanity good luck too!" Yue Yuan shifted his gaze to the deep darkness, to the Wolf 1061 c Planet, which had become a yellow dot.
"Commander Yue, all the previously dispatched Probe Spaceship have arrived at their designated locations. Should the fleet proceed with the departure phase as planned?" Just then, on the bridge of the Lyra, the then-flagship Science Officer stared at the instruments and spoke in a loud voice.
The fleet's departure is certainly not a matter of simply assembling and heading directly towards the target direction. Before setting sail, it is essential to dispatch many Probe Spaceship to conduct deep space exploration, which is common military knowledge.
For this reason, many people refer to these dispatched spaceships as Scout Spaceship.
A spaceship smaller than Escort Ship, belonging to the category of unmanned Probe Spaceship, equipped with a conventional Laser Weapon and a Fusion Thruster. Its Intelligent Program is a different kind of Intelligent AI from 'Tianhe Light', belonging to the combat Intelligent AI module.
"Order all ships to prepare, and the entire fleet to proceed with the departure procedure!" Yue Yuan turned around and strode towards the captain's seat in the center of the bridge.
The bridge design of the Lyra was similar to that of the original Hope, but it was larger and more spacious.
At the same time, because the Lyra is not Residential Spaceship like the Hope, but a comprehensive combat warship, its bridge does not have a rotating structure to provide simulated gravity like the Hope did.
Therefore, the bridge of the Lyra is generally in Weightless State. The reason why Yue Yuan was able to walk was naturally because he was wearing Magnetic Boots and had turned on the Magnetic Force switch of the Magnetic Boots.
That's right, they are Magnetic Boots with built-in batteries, allowing the wearer to switch between walking and floating.
"Attention all crew, the fleet is about to begin departure procedures. Five minutes until departure. All personnel, please take your positions and prepare." The announcement from 'Tianhe Light' echoed within the Lyra.
At the same time, the same announcement was broadcast on all other manned warships and spaceships.
As the announcement was made, Yue Yuan fixed himself in the captain's seat, with Man Yuemei and Zhu Pete still sitting on his left and right sides.
The right front is the position for the Science Officer, the left front is the position for the Chief Scientist, and further ahead are the positions for the First Mate and Second Mate. Then there are the positions for various types of scientists, staff from various departments, as well as Fire Control Officer, communications officers, helmsmen, and so on.
They are arranged in an elliptical gradient, left and right.
On the wall in front of the personnel, just like the bridge of the Hope Ship in the past, there were several large screens hanging.
Of course, the design of the Lyra on the Lyra was not entirely the same as before. For example, each person's seat had a separate movable screen and operating platform in front of it, and each person's seat also had a separate openable and retractable spherical cover.
This is used to fill the Acceleration Buffer Fluid.
When activated, the spherical enclosure will encompass the personnel, including their seats, and begin filling with Acceleration Buffer Fluid. At the same time, various equipment and pipes will extend from below the spherical enclosure to provide various protections for the personnel inside.
Considering the awkwardness of perfusion Acceleration Buffer Fluid, the outer shell of the spherical cover is made of a one-way transparent material, so that the inside can see out, but the outside cannot see in.
It's awkward, isn't it? It's definitely the awkwardness of filling various cavities in the human body with buffer solution.
As a flagship and a military and political center, the Lyra naturally had personnel stationed there. Therefore, it was equipped with Hibernation Pod, and the area where the Hibernation Pod were located was designed in an internal rotation mode, that is, on an internally rotating turntable, to ensure that the personnel were under gravity during long-term hibernation.
Each Hibernation Pod, so the location of the Hibernation Pod also serves as the daily living quarters for the crew of the Lyra.
However, since the daily residence is constantly rotating, one must enter via a synchronously rotating elevator to return to the residence from the bridge or other workplaces.
These designs may seem complex, but for humans who have already mastered Mechanical Specialization Technology, they are not a problem at all.
