Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 603: Home Ten

The maximum carrying capacity of a Home-Class spaceship was thirty billion people. If comfort had to be guaranteed, then that number had to be reduced to ten billion. Ten billion was still a huge number. If the Home Ten ship were opened only to those outstanding figures from the Level 5 Civilization Alliance, that would be far too wasteful, since there were only a little over thirty thousand of them in total.

Within the Divine Ark Civilization there had always been a relaxed social environment. Residents of different ships could freely apply to move to other ships to live. Xiao Yu also strove to give each Home-Class ship its own characteristics, all different from one another. In this way, Xiao Yu roughly ensured that the population of each Home-Class ship was basically the same, neither wasting space nor reducing the living experience by exceeding the load.

The war with the Level 5 Civilization Alliance had ended. A large number of citizens of the Divine Ark Civilization had finished their external assignments and returned to their homes. After long periods of busy work, relaxation was naturally in order. Thus, in recent times, various travel trends began to rise, and even the newly completed Home Ten ship became a target for these people.

These more than thirty thousand outstanding figures from the Level 5 Civilization Alliance were not the first visitors to Home Ten. Before them, there had already been several billions visits by the original inhabitants of the Divine Ark Civilization coming here for tourism, and about three hundred million citizens had decided to settle here. As for the problem that different intelligent beings required different environments, given Xiao Yu’s current level of technology it was very easy to solve. The most ordinary clothing Xiao Yu produced was equipped with a personal life support system. No matter what kind of environment one was in, as long as it was not too extreme, such clothing could guarantee the safety of the intelligent being. These garments were also equipped with translation systems, allowing any two species to converse as freely as old friends.

This maximally broke down the barriers between intelligent beings of different species. Although intelligent beings of different species looked somewhat different, after living in one place for a long time and being able to converse freely, those barriers between different species naturally faded away.

Therefore the mobility of intelligent beings within the society of the Divine Ark Civilization was very high. In the various cities, most residents lived in mixed multi-species arrangements, with intelligent beings of every species present. This mobility was precisely what Xiao Yu hoped for, because it played an enormous role in the integration among different species.

Now, in the different cities on the Home Ten ship, more than three hundred million intelligent beings were living here. Xiao Yu planned to have these more than three hundred million indigenous intelligent beings of the Divine Ark Civilization assimilate those more than thirty thousand outstanding figures from the Level 5 Civilization Alliance. This could be considered an attempt by Xiao Yu to promote the integration of the two civilizations.

When these more than thirty thousand outstanding figures arrived at the dock of Home Ten with uneasy hearts, what greeted them were rows of robots with smooth, gentle designs. Xiao Yu’s projected image stood in front of these robots.

“Welcome to the Home Ten ship. This will be the place where you live from now on.” Xiao Yu operated his projection to step forward and said in a gentle voice.

Before Xiao Yu was a large group of intelligent beings of different species with stern, even somewhat heavy expressions. Their appearances differed, but one point was the same. Every intelligent being carried a lot of luggage.

Xiao Yu knew very well why this was so. Still, he pretended not to know and operated his projection to ask, “Did I not already inform you? I have prepared everything for you here. You do not need to bring anything.”

“Please take us to the place where we will work and live.” Ares stepped out and said to Xiao Yu.

“Oh, since you are in such a hurry, very well. Please follow me.” Xiao Yu said with a smile and turned to walk ahead. Under the guidance of large numbers of robots maintaining order, these intelligent beings boarded different internal transport vehicles and began to travel through dedicated corridors toward their respective cities. Xiao Yu’s projections also appeared in several copies, each accompanying intelligent beings of different species to different cities.

These transport vehicles, manufactured with antigravity technology, produced no sense of inertia when starting up, so they could travel at very high speed without worrying about overload. After moving for just over ten seconds, they stopped, and everyone followed the robots’ guidance up to the ground.

Upon reaching the ground, all of them stood there stunned. Even Ares and Ruto had shock in their eyes and stood motionless.

What unfolded before them, together with just-right sunlight, were broad straight roads, warm and pleasant air, exquisitely distinctive clusters of urban architecture, clear skies, and even a fountain and a small lake ahead of them.

Ruto could not help but murmur, “It is actually a star and a sky. Since leaving our mother planet and moving to live aboard ships, how long has it been since we have seen such a beautiful sun and blue sky? Oh, there is also a lake here. Is that not the most precious Ruta fish of our mother planet? How beautiful.”

“Cities can be built like this? How much space and resources does this waste? Every Continent-Class ship is incomparably precious. Its greater responsibility should be to carry survival, not comfort. This is too extravagant, too wasteful. On our ships this would be unimaginable. Anyone with such ideas would be considered mad.”

“To create such beautiful scenery and maintain these fountains, virtual stars, and virtual sky, how much energy and manpower are wasted.” The Level 5 Civilization Alliance leader Ares murmured, staring in shock at everything before him. “If we had these resources and manpower and the related industrial base to build them into warships, how many could be built. Yet your Divine Ark Civilization has used these resources here for the sake of beauty. This is an unpardonable waste.”

“Hahaha, it does not matter. These things are trifles for our Divine Ark Civilization. In fact, we have a full twenty ships this vast, and each one contains such beautiful scenery. Our citizens can move freely among different ships and choose which one to live on. No one interferes. Oh, if these things already shock you, then you should come and see here as well.”

As Xiao Yu spoke, he beckoned to the sky, and many ships descended. Xiao Yu smiled and gestured. “Please.”

This scene was occurring simultaneously in more than a dozen different cities. More than a dozen of Xiao Yu’s projections witnessed the shocked expressions of outstanding figures from more than a dozen different species as they faced all of this.

Ares, Ruto, and the others boarded the sightseeing ships Xiao Yu had prepared and began to fly in the sky. When they skimmed over the city, people became intoxicated. “These buildings have clearly integrated the highest artistic achievements of our civilization. They are constructed like works of art. It is truly beautiful here, like the paradise of legend. But to sacrifice living space for artistry and beauty, such enormous waste, is it really of no consequence?”

When the ships skimmed over the sea and the mountains, people began to marvel. “What a wasteful act. The interior space of a Continent-Class residential ship is so precious, yet your Divine Ark Civilization actually built seas and mountains inside.”

Some people began to weep. “Since leaving our mother planet, I have not seen the sea and mountains for several centuries. I never thought I would see them here.”

When the ships skimmed over forests and grasslands, everyone became wholly absorbed. They stared at those familiar plants and animals and were unwilling to withdraw their gazes for a long time.

When the ships skimmed over the beach, some even urgently requested to go down and have a look. Xiao Yu naturally agreed with a smile. The ships landed, and a group of people hurried out and stood there dazed, facing the boundless sea. A few suddenly knelt on the soft sand and broke into sobs.

There were already many people leisurely touring this beach. When they saw this odd group, the citizens of the Divine Ark Civilization secretly shook their heads. “These people must be those bumpkins from the Level 5 Civilization Alliance. How pitiful. They probably have not seen the sea since leaving their mother planet.”

“Yes, they are so pitiful. But it will be different now that they have met our Divine Ark Civilization. The master will surely help them and let them live on Continent-Class ships like ours.”

“Look at the clothes they are wearing. Heavens, how dirty. Do they not know to clean their bodies, or do they simply not have instruments that can clean the body in an instant?”

“Shh, keep your voices down. They are guests. Do not let them hear and hurt their self-esteem.”

—

The onlooking citizens of the Divine Ark Civilization began to whisper.

After virtually touring the whole of the Home Ten ship, Xiao Yu took them back to the city and set them down on the ground.

“Guests from the alliance, are you satisfied with what you see here?” Xiao Yu asked with a smile.
