Steady Performance
Although Yue Yuan's actions were discreet, they were still detected by some people with keen senses. Of course, they only sensed them; these people had no ulterior motives.
Yue Yuan is still around, now replaced by a comprehensive, Strong Artificial Intelligence on the Lyra, Sea-Class Warship. Yue Yuan is also the one who holds the highest authority over it.
Therefore, while Yue Yuan was still alive, it was impossible for human society, nor was anyone capable of creating turmoil.
However, this situation may change in more than two hundred years.
Yue Yuan is already making arrangements for his passing. In addition to sending some trusted people into hibernation, he is also sending some senior scientists into hibernation. Oh, and there is another very important matter: finding and training a successor.
Humanity's leaders must be decisive, passionate about Human Civilization, and believe in the supremacy of science; ideally, they should also have a military background.
Therefore, after arranging a series of matters, Yue Yuan would use Strong Artificial Intelligence to review the files of existing fleet Commander and ship captains whenever he had time.
Humanity currently has a planned fleet of one thousand manned warships, each equipped with a military-specific Strong Artificial Intelligence. The fleet will consist of one manned warship and one hundred thousand Unmanned Warship.
Once the plan is complete, humanity will have one hundred fleets, with warships exceeding ten million. Eight million have already been completed, and the final two million are expected to be finished in seventy years. The remaining time will be used to continue building more warships and developing the Dog-Headed People Fleet and Kuntai People Fleet.
Various types of Engineering Spaceship, Biosphere Spaceship, and industrial spacecraft are already included in the Great Fleet Plan. At the same time, in the process of building the Great Fleet, a large number of ready-made engineering spacecraft, a large number of Space Dock, and so on have also been formed.
These do not need to be deliberately manufactured again.
The completion of all planned warship construction is expected to deplete the space region currently inhabited by humanity. This Rocky Satellite, with its resources already scarce, will also leave little of the easily mined metal resources on other planets.
However, there are many Rocky Planet in this Star System, so it's not like humans would run out of space just by building a mere tens of millions of warships; the size of the planets far exceeds people's imagination.
In the new organization, roughly thirty fleets will form a fleet group, with the Lyra group having more, reaching forty fleets. Each fleet group will be assigned a group Commander. Currently, besides Yue Yuan himself, humanity only has two Commander for each fleet group: Man Yuemei and Bu Guiyu, who was promoted from captain.
Man Yuemei needs no introduction; she's been with Yue Yuan since the Callisto Base, working alongside him for countless years. Bu Guiyu, on the other hand, is a new-era human. Born in interstellar space and raised in the cosmos, he rose through the ranks from soldier to captain through his own efforts, leveraging his exceptional knowledge, skills, and command abilities. Now, with the fleet reorganization underway, he has once again become the Commander of the Third Fleet Cluster, a position he has earned widespread support.
He is very young, only about two hundred years old.
Yue Yuan also thought this person was good. After all, he was from the military, controlled a fleet group, and had the old Man Yuemei, whom he had arranged, assisting him. If he became the future leader, humanity would at least not fall into chaos.
Of course, Bu Guiyu wasn't the only suitable candidate in Yue Yuan's mind. There was also Gu Younian, the adjutant of his first fleet group and the Lyra Science Officer at the time.
Both are a new generation of humans and young people. However, compared to Bu Guiyu, Gu Younian has more feelings for Earth, but when it comes to decisiveness, he is not as good as Bu Guiyu.
In addition, there are several outstanding young people who are under three hundred years old.
Regardless of who these people are, they are all basically connected to the military system and wield considerable power. As for selecting from the civilians Residential Spaceship, or conducting a global election, Yue Yuan never even considered it.
Because while it may seem democratic, it's simply not realistic.
The person who will become the leader of humanity in the future must have a power base and military prestige; otherwise, they will be a hidden danger. For the sake of internal stability, the idea of holding universal democratic elections is simply out of the question.
There are still more than two hundred years to go, so Yue Yuan has not made any explicit statement about training a successor at this stage. Instead, he will observe first and then take some public actions when the time is right.
As for what constitutes "the right time," there's no need to ask—it's when the New Life Elixir is declared unable to complete its work within its lifetime. Yue Yuan knew that announcing it too early would only give some people inappropriate ideas, and once people have ideas, they're hard to extinguish, which would be detrimental to future unity.
Of course, it's not impossible for Yue Yuan to remain the leader forever. After all, even if he wanted to quit, the others wouldn't agree. In short, as the leader, unless he does something that leads to the extinction of humanity, he'll probably stay in office until he dies.
Time flies, and seventy years have passed in the blink of an eye. When all ten million Sea-Class Warship were completed, there was still no news of a breakthrough in the Life Elixir project.
Ten years later, humanity had entered into plans to build the Dog-Headed People Legion and the Kuntai People Legion, but research on Life Elixir remained lukewarm.
By this point in time, the people Yue Yuan had initially arranged for had long since entered a period of hibernation. Yue Yuan had also completed almost all of his arrangements for the aftermath.
The rest is up to time.
In the original plan, humanity should have already been preparing to set sail by this point. However, due to the issue with the Life Elixir, humanity had to stop and await the final outcome.
Because it's much better for this to happen when everyone is awake than when they are at sea.
And so time slowly moved forward, three years after three years, then ten, then twenty years. In this year after year, the number of people dying of old age in society continued to increase.
Some scientists have proposed mechanization to extend life through mechanical bodies, but as the old man said, humans have the ability to replace their bodies with machines, but not their brains.
Even if the body becomes indestructible steel, it will eventually die from brain death if the brain cannot be replaced.
It can be said that the idea of taking the mechanical approach is not feasible until the factors of human existence, such as spirit, thinking, and self-awareness, are uploaded to the computer.
If we look at the technological route of mechanical modification alone, human immortality is stuck at the 'Consciousness Upload' technology.
Everyone was anxious, but they all knew that scientific research couldn't be rushed.
Year after year, another thirty years passed. At this moment, humanity had completed the construction of the Dog-Headed People Legion and the Kuntai People Legion, and just in case, they also branded them with Mind Imprint.
Other scientific fields have also made progress. Humanity is accumulating Level 3 Civilization technology and firmly establishing itself at the Level 3 Civilization level. It is no exaggeration to say that humanity is now moving towards the advanced stage of Level 3 Civilization.
They are trying to master Nanotechnology to create things like 'Silver Mist'.
Only in the area of gene Biotechnology has performance remained stable without any progress. Oh, no, actually, even just in the area of Life Elixir, performance has been stable, and humanity has made great progress in researching organisms from the biospheres of other Life Planet.
