Chapter 1056 -642: Oasis Star_1

Unknowingly, the year had reached 2943, and 23 years had passed since the Nameless Fleet had dispersed.

Over these two decades, each small unit strictly implemented the core policy of “rapid reproduction, expanding military strength, and decentralized advancement,” resulting in a monumental change in the situation.

After 2920, the rapidly reproducing fourth generation of the Nameless Fleet had gradually come of age and taken up various tasks and positions.

Some had already started receiving intense advanced military training, some became key members of various production sectors, and others had already entered core research institutions, combining learning and work perfectly.

Initially, Dylan Mitchell’s requirement was that by 2960, at least 8,000 small units would reach the Cloudtop Star Region, with each unit having a population of no less than 2 million.

However, it was obvious that Dylan Mitchell was overly conservative. So far, the Nameless Fleet had 9,801 small units, with an average population of 1.957 million, excluding the Core Fleet. Each unit had an average of 4,208.7 ships, among which 2,706.1 were manned ships and 1,502.6 were unmanned ships.

The total population of the Nameless Fleet had increased from less than 300 million to 19.21 billion.

The overall scale of the fleet had reached 41.35 million ships.

Compared to the initial 120,000 ships when they were forced to disperse, it had expanded by 344.58 times.

This data comparison was extremely intuitive.

The main reason for such a significant change was the focus of the fleet shifting from stealth to rapid development at all costs.

After dispersing, the small units abandoned most of their stealth requirements, and efficiently collected energy and resources whenever possible, and then transformed those resources into population and overall strength with high efficiency.

The new approach led to a new situation.

Though some small units were continuously hunted down and destroyed due to their exposed whereabouts, the speed of the fleet’s overall strength expansion still far exceeded the speed at which it was worn down by enemies.

The change was evident, but it couldn’t be said that the previous stealth advancement strategy was wrong. The current development could not negate the past routes.

Different eras and technological backgrounds determined different policies and routes.

Before the development of human cryogenic technology, actual energy refining technology in curvature space, and the latest super-efficient and complex multi-crystal structure material synthesizer that could be used in curvature space, the dispersed fleet could not quickly form a large-scale fighting force. There was no room for development and exposure would likely result in being swiftly devoured by enemies.

The times were different now.

At the same time, it brought up the past incident of the Free Will Alliance causing internal strife.

From the ultimate outcome, although the Free Will Alliance caused internal chaos, it also increased the fleet’s combat power within a short period, providing a basic enlightenment for decentralized advancement after the fleet dispersed.

In some sense, if the initial Free Will Alliance had not intended to flee but to disperse and march instead, the idea represented by Aphelios Cage and the other advocates of the Free Will Alliance would have been correct.

But considering objective conditions, at that time, the Destiny Convention had not yet been formed, and wills could not be unified. The fleet’s hasty dispersion would inevitably lead to a complete loss of control of the situation.

The limitations of the times forced humans to pay a price in stages as they progressed.

There are pros and cons to consider, but in any case, Cage and his son and the Free Will Alliance should no longer be engraved on the Pillar of Shame in history.

These people, in their own way, made a tremendous contribution to the Nameless Fleet and humanity.

The changes in some small units were especially earth-shattering.

The development of these units was exceptionally good, with a steady rise in their comprehensive strength and a fleet that was incomparably more robust than before, setting an example for others.

For instance, Team No. 6322 now had as many as 19,000 ships and nearly 8 million people.

The original small unit organization no longer applied. They should establish a new fleet organization within the system, at least changing it to a medium or large unit.

However, after comprehensive consideration and drawing lessons from history, Dylan Mitchell decided to let Team No. 6322 continue using the small unit designation.

This was a camouflage.

It could not be ruled out that the Compound-Eyed Observer was also quietly infiltrating the human quantum network, intercepting some information from it.

Maintaining the small unit designation could create an opportunity for the Compound-Eyed Observer to make mistakes in deploying troops, giving humans an advantage in intelligence.

The distinction between large and small units was not essential. What mattered was the actual strength.

In January 2943, a new turning point emerged.

Team No. 6322 discovered a unique star system on their journey.

The physical distance of the star system from the Galactic Center Black Hole was 2,160 light-years.

This was already close to the central region of the Milky Way Galaxy.

If the Milky Way was likened to a city and stars were considered residents of the city, the location of the Solar System would be a sparsely populated suburb, with only 0.004 residents per cubic light-year.

The areas close to the Galactic Center were the bustling downtown.

The star density in the core region near the Galactic Center was as high as 289,000 stars per cubic light-year, which was 72 million times more than the area near the Solar System.

In the night sky of a planet in that region, there would be millions of stars brighter than Sirius.

Stars would inevitably fill the sky, with nighttime as bright as daytime.

Stars were the source of energy.

For humanity, which had surpassed the Fourth-class Civilization and mastered rapid stellar development technology, the area near the Galactic Center was both a dangerous and an inexhaustible mine.

Although Team No. 6322 had not yet reached the Galactic Center, they had barely left the outskirts and entered the urban-rural fringe area.
