Chapter 249 Chaotic Evacuation
Since he had the ether crystal, Qi Yiming was no longer so anxious.
He was at ease to deal with the evacuation of the fleet.
Let's take a look at the evacuation of the Yunhuan Federation. After receiving the giant colony spaceship built for them by the New Federation, the top leaders of the Yunhuan Federation almost cried.
Compared with the two colony spaceships of the New Federation with complete facilities and beautiful environment, their colony spaceship can't do anything except carrying people.
Qi Yiming was also very sorry about this, but there was no way. The giant colony spaceship could not use the bridge jump and had to set off in advance, otherwise there was no way to escape from the eyes of the insect swarm.
Fortunately, Qi Yiming promised that the Yunhuan Federation would gradually transform the internal environment of the giant colony spaceship on the way to escape, at least it would look like a place to live at first glance.
Like the evacuation strategy adopted by Qi Yiming, the Yunhuan Federation also gave priority to the evacuation rights of the direct family members of soldiers, but because the Yunhuan Federation built a large number of small colony spaceships.
After seeing the giant colony spaceship with extremely harsh living environment, a small half of these people with priority evacuation rights chose to board the small colony spaceship.
I have to say that this situation is too ironic. Some people don't even have the opportunity to evacuate, while some people are nitpicking. Life is so unfair.
Fortunately, since responding to Qi Yiming's evacuation plan, the Yunhuan Federation has given up all military production capacity and devoted itself to producing small colonial spaceships. At the same time, it has also purchased a large number of small colonial spaceships in the Turing Republic and the Taro Empire, and even some larger transport ships are on the acquisition list.
With the guarantee of a large number of spaceships, the Yunhuan Federation has miraculously evacuated nearly 150 million people from a dozen administrative stars with a population of nearly 20 billion.
As for the abandoned population, Qi Yiming did not ask much. It's not that he didn't sympathize with these people, but the more he asked, the more uncomfortable he felt and the heavier his guilt.
As for the Turing Republic and the Taro Empire, it's a bit hard to say.
Especially the Turing Republic, when it learned that the fleet was beaten by the Zerg, if it weren't for the timely rescue of the Xuefeng and the self-sacrifice of the Zenithians, the fleet that gathered the strength of the whole country would have been swallowed by the Zerg long ago, and not even a slag would be left.
The high-ranking officials of the Turing Republic, who had recognized the reality, begged Qi Yiming to help them, but Qi Yiming wanted to help them now, but he could do nothing.
Not to mention that even the docks for building giant colonial spaceships have been dismantled for material recycling. Even if they were not dismantled, it would be impossible to complete the main construction of the giant deadly spaceship before the arrival of the Zerg.
What's more terrible is that the social order in the Turing Republic has been completely out of control since Jiang Bingsheng led the fleet to evacuate the families of soldiers.
When they were running for their lives, who would care about these high-ranking officials? Not taking the opportunity to stab them in the back was already a kindness.
Jiang Bingsheng's approach was very extreme. He first deployed the personnel on the warships, assigned all the soldiers from the same place to the same warship, and then dispersed them and told them the time to regroup. As for whether they could rescue their relatives, it was up to them.
Can these people be better than ordinary civilians if they are scattered?
Of course, there are also some bad people among the civilians. All kinds of messy things such as kidnapping and threatening the families of soldiers are happening everywhere.
In fact, when the news of the defeat of the Turing Republic fleet spread, Qi Yiming knew that the Turing Republic was going to be in chaos.
To be honest, they knew how many of these soldiers could safely take their relatives out.
They just didn't want to face the reality and were making a final struggle.
As for the Taro Empire, it was even more lively.
The imperial family could think of abandoning their people and escaping alone, so couldn't the nobles of the empire think of it?
Originally, they were counting on these nobles to assist the empire in orderly evacuation, but they didn't expect that within two days of the news, two-thirds of the nobles in the empire had fled.
The remaining one-third were either preparing to flee or encountered accidents during the process of fleeing.
Anyway, the Taro Empire was completely in chaos, and the various administrative stars were completely out of government jurisdiction.
Not to mention the evacuation of personnel, it was a problem whether a liaison officer sent to the surface of the administrative star could return safely.
Seeing that the New Federation's evacuation fleet was getting farther and farther away from the Taro Empire, the royal family of the Taro Empire simply took supplies and part of the fleet to escort their royal colonial fleet and set off in another direction, no longer mentioning the cooperation with the New Federation for evacuation.
But the royal family left, leaving more than 10 billion humans waiting to die on their respective administrative planets.
This made Qi Yiming extremely angry.
He directly dispatched a fleet to deal a devastating blow to the Taro Empire's evacuation fleet.
Then he organized personnel to collect as many transport ships as possible that could carry personnel within the Taro Empire, and after a slight modification, began to accept fleeing personnel.
However, the number of spaceship teammates collected was still a drop in the bucket for the civilians of the Taro Empire, who had a large number of spaceship teammates.
Until all the spaceships were fully loaded with personnel and evacuated the Taro Empire, a large number of humans were still left behind on their respective administrative planets.
The fate of these humans is self-evident, and Qi Yiming was helpless.
Until the New Federation fleet completely left the human territory, the fleet had become extremely large.
Even if the Xuefeng activated its warp engine for maximum-power long-distance delivery, it would still take more than a dozen times to send all the human spacecraft away.
Fortunately, after the unremitting efforts of the Academy of Sciences, some ether crystals were found in the galaxies along the evacuation route.
Although the number is not large, the total amount is more than 700 tons. Together with the more than 100 tons of ether crystals brought back from the warring galaxies, the Xuefeng can barely carry out 9 full-power long-distance delivery missions.
As for the remaining evacuation fleet, we can only hope to find more ether crystals in the subsequent voyages, otherwise when the Zerg catches up, Qi Yiming can only reluctantly abandon them.
In September of the 3344th year of the star calendar, after several years of sailing, the huge human evacuation fleet finally arrived at the border that human forces can reach.
Fortunately, in the past few years of sailing, except for a direct conflict between the Turing Republic and the Zerg, the Zerg has not appeared so far.
But Qi Yiming knew that the Zerg must be trying to fly towards the human fleet from a certain direction.
The reason why humans have such a long evacuation time is entirely thanks to the self-sacrifice of the Zentraedi people, who destroyed the vanguard of the Zerg by self-detonation after rescuing the human fleet.
Qi Yiming stood on the bridge and looked back at the universe he had lived in since he woke up. The original plan had long been changed beyond recognition because of the invasion of the Zerg.
Now he was not even sure whether he could lead the remaining humans to survive.
Now think about the many outrageous decisions made by the former high-level officials of the Human Federation. Haven't I made the same decisions in the past few years?
Perhaps one day, among the abandoned people now, there will be a Song Yiming or a Wang Yiming who will feel the same as he did back then, and hate those who made the strategy.
