Chapter 117
In addition to bringing back that special little guy, Li Hao also brought back the main power system of the Red Tail spacecraft.
The spacecraft's structure mainly consists of three main power systems and hundreds of auxiliary power systems. Li Hao removed three of the main power systems from the spacecraft, and only brought back ten auxiliary power systems. After all, these power systems are often kilometers in size, which takes up a lot of space.
Li Hao also needed to prepare sufficient energy for the spacecraft. Fortunately, interstellar energy sources weren't that bulky. A fist-sized Bekin energy core could often power the active propulsion system for a year. The energy Li Hao brought back was originally from Red Tail's stockpile, a full ten square meters of energy blocks, enough to last them at least fifty or sixty years.
Li Hao didn't plan to use the existing energy sources on Blue Planet. The only compact and portable energy source was nuclear energy, but nuclear energy was unstable and could potentially cause unexpected problems during interstellar travel. The best option was to use the super-energy alloys used in interstellar flight.
Furthermore, if they were to use new energy as a power source, then several other power systems would need to be redesigned. Imitating the power systems of the interstellar world was actually much simpler than creating their own. Li Hao had brought back ten auxiliary power systems specifically for them to copy.
However, many resources need to be obtained from other planets in the solar system. Fortunately, these can be obtained through the Tenglong spacecraft.
Nothing particularly serious has happened in Chinese society. Although there have been some unrest and people's lives have been restricted, for the most part, it is very stable.
Other countries, however, haven't been so lucky. Some, like a European country that's been overwhelmed by refugees, or some nations that thrive on oil resources, are struggling. On the other hand, some African nations, which have historically lagged behind, have previously enjoyed good relations with China and have been very cooperative in these matters.
However, the most turbulent and daily news-filled country is America, the former world hegemon. Their recent elections happened to be on. The previous president naturally had no hope of re-election. After all, under his leadership, America had lost not only its hegemony but also the people's control over the world. Not only had public confidence in the government declined, but years of propaganda and obscurantism had completely collapsed under the weight of China's strength.
Now, not only ordinary people do not support them, but even the capitalists who have been funding them have turned to China.
For capitalists like these who originally made their fortunes by plundering arms and immigrating, they don't have any sense of national honor. They also don't have any national history or racial glory.
If they had not been unable to join China, they might have already thrown themselves completely into China's arms.
However, it would be better for the Chinese if these people didn't exist. After all, these people would bring the bad habits of capital to China.
Country M was not so lucky. Not only did their government lose its position, but the various operations carried out during the election also made their country unstable. Not to mention dealing with the doomsday crisis, even normal political actions could not be carried out.
In the end, the only option was to use the military to suppress it. With Country M acting this way, not only could it not maintain its sovereignty on the spacecraft, but even protecting its own national integrity was now a problem.
Moreover, the different management policies of multiple states cannot be properly communicated to ordinary people between states and by the government.
Lei Yaling was an international student. Because of her overseas Chinese status, she had faced considerable discrimination while studying in Country M. However, as China grew stronger, the status of Chinese in Country M also grew. Unfortunately, because she had already enrolled, if she had waited two years, she would definitely not have chosen to go abroad. However, she was also a formidable talent, attending a world-renowned university.
In the past two years, China has influenced the entire international situation, and even Chinese has become a compulsory course for many people.
Compared to the common people, the middle class and elites knew that America's decline was irreversible. They saw it coming the moment the apocalypse unfolded. The American government had handled the situation extremely poorly. And judging by the situation, if they didn't find a way out soon, even getting on a spacecraft might be difficult.
Recently, people around Lei Yaling have been asking him if there is any way to go to China to join the Chinese nation. Since the announcement of the doomsday, China has implemented flight control.
There were quite a few people who had been traveling in China and had made a good deal. They stayed in China secretly, but they could not get a ticket to land in China after all.
Eventually, they will be sent back. After all, only those who have obtained a Chinese ID card can log in to the Chinese app and enjoy the corresponding benefits.
To obtain a Chinese ID card, aside from the simplest method of marrying a Chinese national, other methods require exceptional personal ability. This can only be achieved by individuals who have made significant contributions to China. Scientists, for example, do have this possibility.
Many people have set their sights on finding a Chinese person to marry. Overseas Chinese, who were not popular in the United States, have now received unusually high levels of attention.
Even Lei Yaling is no exception. She knows her appearance very well, but it is not qualified for the United States.
She wears glasses, likes to wear loose clothes, doesn't like to dress up, and is the most unwelcome nerd in the United States. How could such a girl suddenly attract the attention of the famous figure in their school?
"Lin, I heard that you Chinese are letting people go back. Do you have a place to take your friends away?" She was stopped by a guy who had been looking for her recently.
"I'm not sure either." Although Lei Yaling said this, she had actually received the message from the consulate, asking them to go to the airport at the specified time.
There are special flights to pick up these ordinary Chinese people doing business and studying abroad. Of course, she didn't intend to tell the person in front of her.
Because someone in their Chinese community had spread the news that every Chinese person could bring back their relatives. Relatives, such as spouses, were not limited to Chinese nationals. Some people with devious intentions began to curry favor with the Chinese, hoping to use this relationship to return to China.
Lei Yaling knew that David in front of her had a girlfriend. In their school, he was considered a school idol, a very popular figure.
But for Lei Yaling, this rugby player is not her cup of tea.
She was an intellectual, preferring intellectuals and academic elites. She also didn't want to bring a scumbag back to China. She politely declined the invitation.
She still believed the report sent by their government. The world was really about to end. There was no point in staying here, so she didn't plan to continue her studies. Ever since China began to rise, she had wanted to return. But at that time, her studies were not yet completed.
She hadn't expected this moment to arrive so soon. But Lei Yaling was looking forward to it, which had dispelled some of her fear of the end of the world.
The entire city where she lives is in chaos now. Criminal activities can be seen even during the day, and gunshots can be heard from time to time.
Lei Yaling left in fear. Her flight was that evening, and they would fly back to China.
The overseas Chinese community is discussing this matter, and the atmosphere is joyful.
Her best friend was also returning on this flight. She wasn't a Chinese overseas student, but had come with her parents, who were business owners. They had attended the same university and had become close friends. Now that they were both returning, they seemed very happy.
"We can already start learning about interstellar space in China, but I don't know if we can learn about this after we go back," said a friend.
"I think I can. I heard from my high school classmates that they have already started learning mental power. I wonder what my talent is like?" Lei Yaling was full of longing.
Lei Yaling became excited at the thought of returning to China.
The United States is now in a state of chaos. Burning and other such things are commonplace, and all the shops on the streets are closed. The impact of the apocalypse has paralyzed the entire infrastructure and system of the United States.
They made an appointment with a friend to set off together, and they also joined the local evacuation group. There were fellow villagers who drove and took them along. Even in foreign places, Chinese people still pay attention to helping each other.
They successfully boarded a fellow villager's car, and when they arrived at the airport, the security personnel let them through as soon as they saw that they were Chinese.
A special sign led them to the airport. Looking at the Chinese national flag on the plane, Lei Yaling finally felt relieved.
While China was recalling its citizens, the election in Country M finally came to an end.
This time, unexpectedly, the United States gave birth to its first female president in history, and she was also a mixed-race. This was also related to their country, China, because she was a mixed-race Chinese.
As soon as she took office, the president launched a series of policies. First up was the gun repossession policy, which caused a huge uproar.
After all, you have to know that many presidents before him did not dare to implement the gun ban. But this president took such a big step as soon as he took office.
Perhaps only harsh policies in troubled times can be effective. Furthermore, Country M actually has a sense of trust in her mixed-race Chinese identity.
This is also because ordinary people no longer trust the abilities of their own people, which is why they have different feelings towards people who have even a slight connection with China.
However, this female president is also very capable. She simply recalled all the troops of Country M. Using the saved expenses, she vigorously rectified the internal chaos.
But as mentioned before, China does not interfere with the sovereignty of other countries. It is even busy with its own affairs.
It is not easy to accommodate more than one billion people on a spacecraft. Instead, the easiest task is the construction of the spacecraft, which is under the full supervision of Li Hao.
Li Hao mercilessly dealt with any forces that dared to interfere with the construction of the spacecraft, disrupt it, or delay its progress. With powerful military force and superb tactics, and the support of the Chinese government, everything went smoothly.
There are a total of 20 construction bases around the world, where they build various precision parts. Various drawings are disassembled and sent to these bases for assembly. The largest and most important part is processed within China.
Of course, some people asked why they had to assemble in China. Li Hao also gave a very convincing answer. Where in the whole of China is there a more stable and well-ordered place than China?
From any perspective, it is very reasonable to place the main cabin assembly in China.
Finally, the construction base was located in the relatively vast Inner Mongolia, where large plains could be used for assembly.
Time passed very quickly, and more and more people in China learned to use their mental power and gradually adapted to the preparations before the end of the world.
All of humanity worked together. Within ten months, all bases around the world completed their work as planned, mobilizing the resources and manpower of all Blue Star humans.
Ten months passed quickly, and a year had passed since she learned of the doomsday news. As time passed, disasters on Blue Star began to increase.
At this point, many stubborn people and conspiracy theorists began to believe this. Many other countries on the Blue Planet were not as capable as China, but they at least copied homework.
Even several countries that have good relations with China have connected to the same APP, applied the corresponding systems and policies, and copied them for use in their own countries.
Because it comes from China, many people are very supportive.
Standing on the assembled main spaceship, Li Hao hovered above it, his spiritual realm continuously expanding, eventually covering the entire spaceship. He repeatedly explored it to see if there were any omissions.
Li Hao controlled his mental power and the stars around him. The stars' light dotted around him, making him look like a god.
Li Hao waited for the last time to confirm that the entire cabin was perfect before coming down and saw Minister Luo waiting for him.
In just one year, Minister Luo actually had some gray hair. He was older and had poor aptitude. After practicing for a long time, he had only cultivated a little spiritual power.
Although potion production had not ceased, most of the potions were stored in warehouses as storage supplies. Only those with acute or terminal illnesses could apply for the use of the medicines, and even Minister Luo did not have the authority to do so.
Although a small area on the spaceship was set aside for growing potions, it was still much smaller than before.
"Soon, we'll be boarding the plane tomorrow. The first group of people will be here soon." Minister Luo said to Li Hao after he landed.
"There shouldn't be any problems. I've also seen spacecraft assembled by other countries. There aren't any problems there either. The plan is going well. It's going smoothly." Li Hao said.
Like the spacecraft at the Chinese base. This area, capable of carrying the population of most Asian countries, has been divided into distinct regions. It can be considered an independent space design. The main power system is in China. Once all the spacecraft are launched, they will be assembled on the moon and finally fly out of the solar system.
"You can take a rest now. The ship has already flown once, so there is no problem. We will handle tomorrow's landing ceremony." Minister Luo came here just to let Li Hao take a rest first.
Li Hao had been using her spiritual realm to help them assemble and build the spaceship. From morning till night, she hadn't rested. Although cultivators were known to work without sleep, Li Hao hadn't rested at all for a full ten months.
"Let's wait until the spacecraft flies out of the solar system. I don't have anything to do right now. A cultivator's mental power does not need sleep." Li Hao shook his head and rejected Minister Luo's kindness.
Minister Luo continued. "Your parents are among the first to land. Change your clothes and get some rest. Otherwise, you'll see them tomorrow..."
Since Li Hao began to fully preside over the construction of the spacecraft, Li Hao has not seen his parents for a long time.
After she opened up her own realm, she could do things that many people couldn't. She could even use her abilities to help them create mechanical parts that current instruments couldn't make.
Of course, Li Hao is not smelling sour now. She doesn't need any eating or drinking at all.
The army has already allowed some people to try to cultivate, but compared to the spiritual training of mages, this is much more difficult to get started. So far, I have not encountered another cultivator.
On the second day, the first people to move in were the scientists at the base, who needed to deposit their research findings in advance. This group of people who moved into the spacecraft were not considered public candidates.
Ordinary people can accept this. Even if we board a spaceship and travel to other planets, we cannot fall behind in technology.
There are quite a few important crew members inside, responsible for driving and operating the spacecraft. Before ordinary people land, they need to prepare in advance.
Gu Zhaozhao and her classmates registered early, as their university was a renowned science and technology university in China. When she reselected her major, Gu Zhaozhao chose spacecraft maintenance. She also learned mental power and can now move a piece of paper.
Wu Zhaozhao and her parents discussed this briefly before boarding the school's spaceship, which was packed with luggage. The luggage was of a fixed size, and government-appointed personnel inspected it.
"I originally thought that there were many things I couldn't bear to give away, but I didn't expect that in the end, all I really needed was just these few things." Gu Zhaozhao said to his friends with emotion.
"As long as people are still alive, everything can be recreated." A friend said a very philosophical thing.
