On the 700 warp spaceships that fled into space, 1.4 million humans were squeezed together.
Everyone lowered their heads in silence, stood, or sat with their legs curled up on the ground.
Their bodies emitted a strong stench of blood, and some of them even had sticky blood in their hair.
The blood came from their compatriots.
Not long before the spaceships took off, people fought and killed one another for the last empty seats on the spaceships.
The spaceships lifted off gradually. In the area where the spaceships left the ground, blood flowed like a river and corpses piled up like mountains.
Now, they were safe.
No matter if it was for the 700 warp spaceships that left this planet that they had lived on for a hundred years.
Or for the laws that had just come into effect.
The remaining people were all safe now.
Compared to the 1.4 million elites that the State Affairs of the Country of Darkness proposed, these 1.4 million elites were different in that they were unconventional, heretical elites.
They had a deeper obsession with living, and they had a better choice of how to live.
A survival rate of two in a thousand meant that everyone had to fight their way out of 500 people.
Now, humans needed this kind of extremely strong and unscrupulous desire to survive in order to open up a new world in the vast and boundless universe.
"Country Master, our dark energy warehouse is only enough for a year's worth of fuel. We have to find a suitable new home to land within this year."
As an independent starship, the 'Future' was different from the other warp spaceships that humans carried.
Tang Zheng was the only one who was allowed to disembark.
A portion of the core elites of the scientific research team, including some national officials who gave suggestions and gave their all to the Country of Darkness, were brought onto the starship by Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng gazed at the 700 plus spaceships that were trailing behind through the rearview mirror of the starship. He paused for a few moments and said, "What about them?"
Of course, 'them' referred to the warp spaceships behind them.
"They are almost the same in terms of energy. The only difference between the main starship and warp spaceships is the acceleration and the difference in the heavy firepower weapons on the starship. The 'Future' has dark matter energy cannons and miniature Tang Fei molecular cannons. It has the strongest combat capability for humans, while the warp spaceships are slightly weaker. "
"Is there enough food?" Tang Zheng asked again.
"In terms of food, in addition to the two thousand boxes of compressed food that each warp ship is equipped with, there is also a microscopic planetary greenhouse installed at the end of the cabin. Using interstellar modification technology, about a hundred square meters of the room is suitable for planting and cultivating, which is meat..." Before a scientist could finish his sentence, another person interrupted.
"You don't have to worry about meat either. Food technology has already broken through the upper limit of gene extraction. Based on the composition of different types of meat, artificial protein and various trace artificial elements can be used for nutrition. Whether it's the taste in the mouth or the energy absorbed after using it, it's only about 20% different from real meat."
"What about housing?" Tang Zheng asked again.
"This …"
The scientists looked at each other.
Tang Zheng sighed softly.
Come to think of it, the spaceship was only so big, and nearly 50% of its volume was occupied by the components of the spaceship. The space left for human survival was even smaller.
Two thousand people lived in an environment the size of a football field.
In such an environment, even if a tall building was built on top of the football field, it could barely accommodate 2,000 people.
What's more, in order to ensure that the spaceship would not be disturbed by other force elements during flight, it used a flat structure.
Two thousand people spread out a football field, and the area that each person could get was stretched.
"Take care of yourself. Now we can't take care of others." Tang Zheng's eyes dimmed for a few seconds, then suddenly became sharp again.
Several scientists still did not understand the meaning of his words.
But in the next six months, what actually happened gave them the answer.
In half a year, more than 2,000 humans were squeezed into a narrow space of a warp ship. What entered their eyes was the dark and deep space. At a glance, they could not see the end, as if they had fallen into an abyss.
Including their parents, lovers, and children, they were basically displaced, separated, or dead.
The bone-deep sense of loneliness was irreplaceable.
At first, everyone was glad to have survived the disaster and even set up a pep rally to encourage each other.
However, this situation could not be solved. Three days after the spaceship drifted into space, the twin stars behind it exploded, and the home that humans relied on for survival turned into a grand flame and was swept into the twin stars.
Many people's emotions began to explode.
"How long do we have to drift in space before we have a home?"
"Where will our home be? What is our future? Are we going to stay in this space capsule for the rest of our lives? "
"I've had enough of the pervert living next door! He comes to harass me every two or three days! "
"Don't say that. Desire is human nature. I'm not harassing you. I'm just exchanging feelings. After all, you change clothes in front of me every day. Who can not be moved? "
"Then please give me a place where I can change clothes???"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Bear with it."
"Bear with it? Give me a time. When will it end? "
"This …"
"Ah!!!"
A sharp scream broke the argument of the crowd.
Someone committed suicide.
Unable to bear this high-pressure environment and without any trace of hope for the dim future, the corner of the mouth with a smile of relief committed suicide.
Subsequently, more and more people chose the path of death one after another.
Violent incidents also began to rise in a straight line. There would always be friction when squeezed into a small space. When the atmosphere of the entire environment made people anxious and irritable, these humans, who had already shed blood, began a new round of killing each other.
The medical staff on the spaceship was extremely short. Some people bled to death because of the violent conflicts.
And this was obviously not the worst moment.
When the individual collided with the individual and encountered the separation of the individual, the contradictions of human beings were deduced to the extreme.
On the 34th day of the escape from the twin stars, the warp spaceship No. 603 took advantage of the sleeping state of the human biological clock to send out a small team to infiltrate the warp spaceship No. 519 using a small space fighter and kill all the passengers on the spaceship. Not only that, they took the resources on the spaceship No. 519 and left the team without permission, leaving the trajectory of the main starship Future and drifting in another direction.
The departure of the team was also reported to Tang Zheng the next day.
But considering the fuel consumption of pursuit in space was different from that on the ground, Tang Zheng gave up on the pursuit.
Due to the lack of traction in space, if a spaceship wanted to overtake another, it would first need to activate a high-power acceleration mode. Then, even if the pursuit was successful, it would need to consume fuel to decelerate and stop.
In addition, if the pursued party detected the pursuit, it would naturally increase its speed.
Even if the pursuit was successful in the end, the two spaceships would have completely deviated from their course and separated from the main force. It was almost impossible to return with the remaining fuel.
Therefore, in a pursuit in space, one had to be at least a level ahead of a civilization. Otherwise, it would be a fantasy.
And it was precisely because the 'Future' acted as though it had not heard of it and did not take any measures, continuing to head into the vast galaxy.
This move also made many of the warp speed spaceships behind him have some thoughts.
In the next half a year, spaceships that left the team became more frequent.
Part of it was because they felt that the 'Future' had made a mistake in its decision. With the current human technology, it was completely possible to choose an asteroid on a star as a habitable area, but it led everyone to drift further away.
Therefore, they left the team without permission and landed on asteroids that they thought could be landed on to investigate.
But within a month of landing, the humans on the spaceship that left the team were all dead.
The cause of death was that they were unable to withstand the unusually active radiation attack of the star.
Another part of it was purely to plunder more resources.
Everyone on the spaceship knew that there was still a year's worth of fuel left. In order to avoid not finding a habitable planet after a year, they had to take precautions.
The best way to take precautions was to …
Plunder the resources of other spaceships, kill all the people on them, and seize their spaceships.
Nine months later, there were less than 200 spaceships left of the original 700 spaceships.
And on the 11th month.
The 'Future' received an alarm that it was under attack.
After investigating the cause, Tang Zheng found the attacker through the light prism.
The 200 spaceships behind him.
They were completely united and surrounded the 'Future' in a conical formation. All of their heavy weapons were aimed at the 'Future'.
A representative appeared on the holographic screen and said with a polite smile, "Emperor Tang, we are very presumptuous to make such a choice, but I believe that as humanity's top starship, the 'Future' should have a large amount of resources stored on it. I hope that you can give up all the resources, including this starship, for the survival of the remaining humans."
"I know that the 'Future' has a large amount of destructive weapons. This is also the capital that allowed you to lead the way, but now they are ineffective. In the past 10 months, we have developed an interference wave that can make your weapons ineffective. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. "
Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and gave a look to his subordinate beside him.
Soon, he received a reply.
As expected, all of the heavy weapons on the 'Future' had failed.
Just as the main starship had been searching for a place for humans to settle down for nearly a year, the troops following behind did not have to worry about such things. They could focus on developing other things — for example, how to shield the main starship from the destructive weapons.
Since things had reached this point, Tang Zheng chose to give up all the resources, but he put forward an additional condition.
He gave the remaining humans on the starship a small space fighter and let them find a new way to survive.
A small space fighter was only enough for four people to ride. Furthermore, the fuel was only enough to fly for about a month. Furthermore, it was unable to activate the gravitational collapse acceleration. Its speed could only reach 11.2 km/s and it was almost impossible to travel far.
Although it was like sitting and waiting for death, it was better than having no hope at all.
After weighing the pros and cons, the representative agreed to this request in order to prevent the humans on the 'Future' from activating the self-destruct sequence.
Soon, Tang Zheng's family of four boarded the space fighter.
He watched as the starship took over and left.
Sitting in the space fighter, Tang Zheng did not activate the flight mode immediately. Instead, he quietly floated in space.
According to the speed of the space fighter, even if they ran out of fuel, they would not be able to reach the nearest planet.
Furthermore, there was a high probability that the planet was not suitable for humans to live on.
"Dad, look! What is that!!" At this moment, Tang Ye suddenly pointed at a certain spot in space outside the transparent windscreen.
Tang Zheng looked in the direction she was pointing at. Suddenly, his expression turned strange.
Not far from the space fighter, there was a … a lump? No, a cosmic phenomenon that could not be described with a quantifier before appeared in front of them.
It was not a celestial body, nor was it a nebula. It had an indescribable shape, as if countless thin lines were twisted and mixed together. However, the lines had a strange law of existence.
It emitted a luster that Tang Zheng had never seen before. This spectrum was beyond the scope of human understanding. Tang Zheng could not describe its color with words. All the spectral records in human history could not describe its color.
It was like a dead object, but also like a living thing that was still.
With the help of the light, Tang Zheng could see the stars around them. They seemed to be turning into thin lines and slowly being sent into its entrance.
It was as if it was eating the stars.
At this moment, Tang Zheng suddenly had an unprecedented bold idea.
Rush in!
Staying in space would also mean death.
Rushing into this place, there might be hope for survival …
He told this idea to his family and received a reply of approval.
Tang Zheng started the engine of the space fighter. The huge force pressed everyone into their seats.
They were getting closer and closer to the indescribable thing.
Closer and closer.
The light was also getting brighter and brighter.
Tang Zheng subconsciously turned his head to look at the scene behind him.
However, he was completely stunned.
The scene behind him was no longer three-dimensional.
Instead, it was one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional. It was an indescribable and strange scene that could be seen.
Those planets, Tang Zheng could see their cores, crusts, and even their outer shells and atmospheres with his naked eye.
It was as if he was looking at the side anatomy of a planet.
Or rather, it was as if he had x-ray vision.
However, it wasn't a complete x-ray vision.
It was like using a piece of cardboard to block the scene in front of him. Normal people could only see the cardboard or the words on the cardboard. They couldn't see the scene that was blocked by the cardboard at all.
However, not only could he see the words on the paper clearly, he could also see the scene that was blocked by the paper.
These two things had fused together!
"Dimension fusion??" Tang Zheng subconsciously reacted.
Could it be that the path he was heading towards was an interstellar path that led to a higher dimension …
These so-called dimensions were actually such existences in the eyes of higher dimensional lifeforms …
It was really too inconceivable.
However, things had already come to this point. No matter what the path ahead was, Tang Zheng could only brace himself and choose to move forward.
"Sit tight and prepare to accelerate!" Tang Zheng pushed the thruster all the way to the limit. The space fighter's speed was raised to the maximum and it plunged into the high-dimensional wormhole.
In front, what awaited him might be the starting point of his life.
Or reincarnation.
Or the end.
