With the first humans leaving the enclosed cities on the surface of Dawn Star, human civilization began a new chapter.
First, the problem to be solved is the billions of people who are still in a state of hibernation.
Unlike those who have already awakened, those who are still in hibernation have never been exposed to the social welfare system, nor have they experienced the century-long propaganda and education campaigns conducted by the Academy of Sciences and Parliament.
In their "outdated" view, the public sector is a heretical option.
Therefore, their attitude towards those supported by the public will differ from that of ordinary people.
In order not to disrupt the normal operation of the social welfare system, the Academy of Sciences did not awaken a large number of humans all at once, even though the surface infrastructure of Dawn Star had been basically completed.
Instead, a phased wake-up mode was adopted.
As for the evaluation criteria for the awakening batch, it is naturally based on the contribution value to the Federation of People's Liberation Army.
...
"...Beep! Beep! Beep!"
The faint buzzer alarm sounded from afar, gradually becoming clearer as it approached.
"who I am?"
Where am I?
"..."
One question after another slowly surfaced in Wang Mingyuan's sluggish mind.
Perhaps because the hibernation period was too long, thinking about these issues gave Wang Mingyuan a slight headache.
But the next moment, fragments of memory surged in like a tide.
He was born on Proxima Centauri b, is a citizen of the Human Union, and works in the construction industry...
Countless pieces of information surfaced in his mind.
Wang Mingyuan subconsciously took a deep breath.
A strong, choking sensation came from my throat and lungs.
"Cough cough cough!!"
Accompanied by violent coughing and slight muscle spasms, he reflexively arched his back and sat up straight from a lying position.
At the same time, he suddenly opened his eyes.
A brightly lit space.
He recognized his location by the rows of high-tech, coffin-shaped hibernation pods surrounding him—the awakening area for hibernating personnel on the [Homeland Ship].
The next moment, a robot appeared in front of him.
At the same time, a holographic projection unfolds.
“Wang Mingyuan, citizen of the People’s Federation, congratulations on your successful awakening.”
"It is now September 26th, 2500 in the Earth calendar..."
Wang Mingyuan's pupils trembled slightly as he stared blankly at the words and images slowly appearing in the holographic projection.
Although he didn't show much emotion on his face, his heart was already churning with turmoil!
Earth year 2500?
He recalled that he seemed to have entered hibernation in 2275, leaving the Ross 154 star system.
So, calculating it this way...
He hibernated for a full 225 years?!
"Holy crap..." He subconsciously turned his head again to check his surroundings.
I felt inexplicably relieved.
At the same time, a faint hint of disappointment surfaced in his eyes.
It seems that... not much has changed in these 225 years.
It's the same hibernation pod, the same area where hibernators wake up...
"...Next, I will act as your guide and introduce you to the changes that have taken place in the Human Federation in recent years." The robot's voice interrupted Wang Mingyuan's thoughts.
...
After a period of rest, Wang Mingyuan, having regained his strength, followed the robot and left the area where the hibernating personnel were awakening.
Perhaps because the awakening process had just begun, the silver-white corridor of the homeship appeared particularly deserted under the cool-toned lighting.
Wang Mingyuan followed the robot absentmindedly, looking around at the surrounding facilities, trying to find any differences from 225 years ago.
"...After a week of rehabilitation training, you will undergo your first physical fitness assessment." A stiff, synthesized electronic voice slowly sounded in his ear. "If you pass the assessment, according to the relevant regulations of the Human Alliance Human Enhancement Experiment, after completing the sampling and preservation of reproductive cells, you will receive a complete human enhancement program free of charge."
"The enhancement projects include: second-generation life extension technology, and visceral omentum gene fragment insertion..."
Wang Mingyuan subconsciously slowed his pace: "Huh? What's that?"
He quickly withdrew his gaze from all around and stared blankly at the holographic projection in front of him.
Second-generation life extension technology is understandable, but what on earth is this human enhancement program?!
He quickly raised his hand, swiped the holographic projection in front of him, and carefully read the relevant introduction.
"call……"
A few minutes later, Wang Mingyuan exhaled a breath of stale air from his chest and muttered to himself, "A super Earth with 1.9g gravity..."
"Has humanity finally found a place to settle down?"
He stared intently at a massive planet slowly rotating in the holographic projection.
Most of the planet's surface is covered by azure waters, while the yellowish-brown land is tinged with a faint green.
This is a real-time image of Dawn Star after its environmental transformation is complete.
Meanwhile, the original appearance of Dawn Star also appeared on the side.
“Planetary terraforming project…” Looking at the two completely different planets, Wang Mingyuan’s eyes were filled with shock. “Unbelievable…”
The description of this project consists of only a few lines of text.
But Wang Mingyuan, who works in large-scale construction projects, knows all too well how much hard work and dedication is behind those few lines of text!
"The viewing area is ahead, Mr. Wang Mingyuan, please follow me."
The robot's stiff, synthesized voice pulled Wang Mingyuan out of his emotional shock.
He took a deep breath and started walking to keep up with the robot.
At this moment, he felt a mixture of trepidation and excitement, and his initial disappointment had completely dissipated!
It seems... he has to retract his judgment from not long ago.
During hibernation, the Human Alliance seems to have undergone significant changes?!
...
"We've arrived at the viewing area."
A stiff, electronically synthesized voice rang out, but Wang Mingyuan ignored the guide robot beside him.
He reached out and held onto the railing in front of him, pressing his body as close as possible to the panoramic glass made of transparent aluminum.
His eyes were wide open, his breathing was slightly rapid, and his gaze was fixed on a "bizarre" building in the distance.
"What...what is that..."
Wang Mingyuan's voice was extremely hoarse.
"Guangwei, the natural satellite of Dawn Star, has now been transformed into a planetary fortress, with its main functions being scientific research and military defense."
As the electronic synthesized sound began, a brand-new holographic projection slowly appeared in front of him.
Wang Mingyuan traced the holographic projection in front of him with trembling fingers.
"A mega-structure project..."
"It's a mega-structure..."
His eyes reddened slightly, and for a moment he could hardly suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart!
As a large-scale engineering architect, celestial-scale megastructures have always been his dream.
He never expected that when he woke up, the scene from his dream would actually be right in front of him!
