Chapter 119
From the day the Hope spacecraft departed, the entire planet seemed to have pressed the accelerator key to doom. Earthquakes were everywhere, and cracks opened up everywhere, swallowing up buildings.
The total number of people who remained on Blue Star was several million. Initially, many people rushed out from all corners, breaking into shops and buildings to snatch any lost property.
They didn't believe in the apocalypse, thinking those who left were fools and that it was all a government conspiracy. They would regret it when they returned a few months later to find that everything on Blue Planet was intact.
These stubborn people always had their own reasons no matter what others said. Even when they were forced to board the ship later, they tried every possible means to avoid the searchers. These people are hopeless.
Many of these people who caused so much destruction were criminals, and they stayed to take advantage of this opportunity to rob and plunder property everywhere.
But when the ground began to tremble, they felt a sense of unease, yet remained confident in their judgment. As the earthquake began to engulf the city's buildings, they began screaming and running. Their previous ferocity was completely gone.
And this is just the beginning. Perhaps only when the disaster really strikes will they regret their decision.
The ship's speed was relatively slow, not only considering the route but also the operators' familiarity with the ship. Of course, the retreat route had been tested numerous times by the Tenglong, and most of the flight was controlled by the intelligent flight system, a system naturally brought back from interstellar space.
It not only records the response plans for many extreme situations, but also the biological operation methods unique to that special race.
It can be said that it is a perfect fit for the Hope. However, the creature still needs Li Hao to suppress it.
Li Hao had many future plans for the Hope spacecraft. After all, finding a suitable place to live wasn't a simple matter. This spacecraft had plenty of room for future development.
These days, not only did the crew need to familiarize themselves with the spacecraft, but the eight billion people aboard Hope also needed to get acquainted with their current lives. Except in special circumstances, everyone's personal space was a fixed size.
While the individual spaces are small, the overall space hasn't been reduced at all. Most people here have their own plans, and the students are still primarily in the development stage.
The industrial sector is starting to get back on track, at least in China. Many people have already found jobs through the app. Salaries are based on points.
It seemed like they didn't have much left to do, but judging by the entire spacecraft, they still had a lot to build.
This specially designed spacecraft can capture passing small meteorites and resources. Most interstellar meteorites can be smelted into basic materials.
Furthermore, agriculture and commerce now require a significant number of people, leaving plenty of jobs for ordinary people. Besides the normal points expenditure, there are also additional resources available for entertainment.
This is also a method they learned from the apocalyptic world. In a purely depressing world, if there are some entertainment methods, it can greatly relieve everyone's stress. Those technology companies can still continue their research.
Now the spacecraft has begun to capture passing meteorites to collect resources, and these resources will be refined into basic materials for the spacecraft. Finally, the basic materials will become small spacecraft or other spacecraft components to add bricks and tiles to the subsequent Hope.
At the same time, the internal personnel structure is being gradually improved. Most people's work is relatively easy. Giving everyone something to do also helps alleviate their anxiety about arriving on the spacecraft. After all, current technology has completely freed everyone from basic labor requirements.
However, these are the current situations in China's bases. Other places do not have such comfortable days.
Not only is the infrastructure inadequate, but even the supply of resources for ordinary people is problematic. Of course, in this particular situation, China has no way to help them. They can only offer solutions and advice. At least until they leave the solar system, China must focus on its own affairs.
Here we have to mention the newly elected female president of Country M. She successfully integrated the originally chaotic Country M in a short period of time.
Many Chinese people thought that the M country would decline from this point on. However, they did not expect that the lean camel still had some strength and foundation. The infrastructure in the M country was the best outside of China.
After learning knowledge at the Chinese base, scientists from Country M still planned to go back to help their country. Although some of these talents were recruited by China, there were still some stubborn people who chose to return to the country where they were born to save the declining Country M.
The female president was indeed capable. Despite the domestic unrest caused by various class and racial conflicts, she was able to settle the country in a matter of months. She also quickly integrated the resources of the United States to build their own spacecraft base.
At the same time, they also changed their policy. In the past, they had always been against China, but now they have not made any trouble on the spacecraft. For example, they have been very cooperative in competing with China for command. However, their actions have put pressure on the Chinese. Compared with the clown-like behavior of the United States before, their current drastic actions have shown a bit of the courage of the former overlord of Blue Planet.
After passing through the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, the journey became much easier. However, at this time, the monitoring equipment stationed above the Blue Planet reported even more dire news. A massive crack had appeared on the planet. This crack ran from the Asian plate all the way to the Pacific Ocean, and even the monitoring equipment within it was severely damaged.
There would be daily reports on the current situation of Blue Planet on the spacecraft, telling those on board that Blue Planet was indeed facing doomsday.
After spending more than twenty days, they finally arrived around Neptune and were about to leave.
They were really leaving, and Li Hao also knew that Blue Star would disappear completely. She didn't know what to do with the handful of golden soil that the other party gave her at the end.
Li Hao looked at the Blue Planet through a space telescope. It had lost its former azure hue. The disaster that had affected the entire continent had turned the azure sea into a grayish hue. The magma gushing from the Earth's core, the collapse of various parts of the continent, and the melting of the two-stage glaciers made it clear that the current situation was no longer suitable for life.
Lan Xing is no longer recognizable to her now.
On the day of our final voyage out of the solar system, the TV kept playing images of the blue planet. Everyone was watching the images on the screen quietly. Some children didn't understand what it meant and asked their parents curiously.
Being held in the arms of their parents, they asked them to look carefully and slowly explained to them that the picture was the place where they had lived before, and it was the hometown that gave birth to all of them.
At this time, everyone has the same identity - Blue Star people.
When the spacecraft completely flew out of the solar system, the blue planet that the camera was aimed at could no longer withstand the pressure and exploded.
This explosion was like a chain reaction, and the special fluctuations never stopped. Even spacecraft that had escaped the sun's gravitational range could feel the fluctuations. However, Li Hao seemed to hear a chuckle in the last sound of this blue planet.
Many people had thought that this might all be fake, still clinging to a glimmer of hope, hoping to return once Blue Star was safe and sound. Only when everything actually happened did they realize they had no way out.
"I don't know whether this live broadcast is good or bad." Minister Luo said as he stood next to Li Hao.
"For future situations, letting them see it with their own eyes can save a lot of trouble," said Li Hao.
She knew that this would devastate many people, but there were still many people on the spacecraft who didn't believe in the apocalypse.
Only when they realize the current situation will they cooperate with the subsequent arrangements. Just like Li Hao had planned from the beginning, this matter was everyone's business from the beginning.
Every person on Blue Star must take responsibility and work hard for the survival of all Blue Star people.
"Well, that's fine. What are your plans for the next journey?" Minister Luo asked. The initial plan was simply to leave the solar system. The next steps and destinations were unknown. The only spacecraft available for exploration was the Tenglong.
"Although the interstellar map is different from our world, the basic principles and rules are the same. The people at the base can plan this matter."
Their world has different rules from the magic world and the cultivation world, but the rules of the interstellar world and the doomsday world are the same. Li Hao doesn't have any knowledge in this area and can't give any suggestions.
"Yeah, that's right. We have left the solar system now. Do you want to go to the doomsday world..." Minister Luo laid out all this for Li Hao's sake.
After returning from the world of cultivation, Li Hao had originally intended to go to the Doomsday World. In the end, she never had the chance to go. Even though there was a time difference between the two worlds, she still had 10 days to recharge. At that point, the power of Li Hao's domain was so significant that leaving for even a single day was impossible. It was during her final departure that she took a final tour of the mountains and rivers, solidifying her resolve.
At other times, Li Hao did not relax at all.
"Once we're in space, there are more unknown dangers. I'm here, trying my best to protect everyone's safety. Let's talk about it once we get to a safe place." Li Hao shook her head. She knew that Minister Luo was thinking about her.
But she didn't dare to leave at all. Before she found a suitable planet to stay on, she was protecting the safety of all the humans on the spacecraft.
If there's a meteorite, if there's a special space disaster, if...
In this kind of situation, one should be prepared for the worst. Li Hao didn't dare to gamble with nearly tens of billions of lives and everyone's safety just for his own sake.
"Why don't you take a break? Even an hour would be fine," Minister Luo continued to persuade her. He felt sorry for Li Hao. It could be said that she had single-handedly stood up to the pressure and become everyone's support.
"No thanks." Li Hao refused.
She opened the domain and protected everyone on the spaceship in her domain, and she felt at ease.
Minister Luo looked at Li Hao. The girl in his memory had faded. Li Hao now bore her crystal-red mark on her brow. Every time she attacked, tiny stars lingered around her. To everyone, she seemed increasingly unreachable. But the powerful Li Hao also brought everyone a sense of security.
The nickname "Li Shen" seemed to have truly come true. Li Hao was now like a guardian angel. She carried the trust and expectations of countless people, giving these people facing doomsday the confidence to survive.
