Chapter 1010 -624: Difficulties and Obstacles_1
“Teacher, you will soon be 170 years old. According to the past practice and the reminder from your health tracking assistant, you still have about 110 years to live. But we need at least 180 years to reach the Galactic Center. Why don’t you choose to sleep? The latest revival technology can restore a person to their original state in just three days. If you take a short break, it shouldn’t affect the big picture, right?”
In the office, Quentin Cooper’s Deputy Officer and disciple, Dylan Mitchell, asked with slight confusion.
Quentin Cooper smiled at his proud disciple.
He was very satisfied with Dylan Mitchell. At just over fifty years old, he had already excelled in various simulated command trainings, and in a battle in 2812, Quentin Cooper handed over part of the command authority to Dylan Mitchell, who completed the mission well.
As a member of the new generation in the fleet, Dylan Mitchell lived up to Quentin Cooper’s expectations, and his current reputation within the fleet was on par with Emerson.
However, due to his young age, his approach to problems was still a bit presumptuous.
Quentin Cooper patted his disciple on the shoulder and said, “We are now in a highly informational age where everything evolves at a much faster pace than in ancient times. Three days may seem short, but they can be transformative. After all, we are far from our base, unable to receive external support or even the full computing power of the Galactic Center’s main brain.”
Dylan Mitchell: “But simulations estimates that we won’t encounter enemies before 2830, so, Teacher, you can sleep for at least a few years, right?”
Quentin Cooper: “Most of the fleet’s artificial intelligence computing power is used to simulate external situations and support scientific research. We haven’t had full control over the internal operations of the fleet. In such a long-distance and time expedition, crises are not just external.”
“We must admit that cryogenic technology is of great significance and will inevitably bring about drastic changes to our civilization. The Empire outside is a large society, and our fleet has more than 100 million people and will obviously surpass 200 million in the near future.”
“Eight hundred years ago, the Nameless Fleet, with a population of two hundred million, would have been considered an unknown country. Our fleet may be small, but it has everything it needs. Therefore, some changes are bound to occur. These changes could be good or could lead to problems.”
Dylan Mitchell: “Teacher, but our military ratio is high now. We are an army based on the foundation of the Empire, not the same as the narrow concept of a nation, right?”
Quentin Cooper smiled, “I appreciate your proactive thinking, but you’ve overlooked a point I just mentioned.”
“What?”
“Distance and time can change a lot of things. Especially when more and more of the older generation choose to sleep in order to extend their lives, such changes will gradually magnify. Therefore, for us, cryogenics is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can change our fate in the expedition mission. If not used well, it can bring us destruction.”
Dylan Mitchell: “So, Teacher, you still support cryogenics?”
Quentin Cooper laughed heartily, “Tiffany Bell has learned the gambling nature of the sages, and I can’t be much better. No matter how we gamble, our ultimate goal is always to increase the success rate of the mission.”
“I understand.”
Dylan Mitchell finally got the meaning behind Quentin Cooper’s words.
“However, although I can’t sleep, others can. I will review the first list of names, but I won’t be able to interfere with everything in the future, so I will leave the decision to the evaluation group. Wait for another two years, and when the time is right, Dylan, you can try intermittent cryogenics.”
“Alright, Teacher.”
…
As the years went by, Chief Scientist Emerson Colbert chose to sleep in 2845.
By this time, he had upgraded the fleet’s cryogenic technology dozens of times, making it more and more reliable, with fewer and fewer accidents during wake-up and a safety factor roughly equal to 21st-century civil aviation flights.
Yes, there are still risks, but they are not so great that they warrant abstaining from eating for fear of choking.
During these twenty-five years, significant changes had taken place within the fleet.
In 2825, the fleet received a data package from the Empire. As the distance continued to increase, the frequency of data exchanges between the Empire and the fleet decreased once again.
This data package contained not only routine technology sharing and news briefings but also a Rotation System analysis guideline for the Sleeping Age. The purpose of this system, created by the Main Brain, was to maintain the creative power of civilization and maximize the optimization of human resources allocation in terms of time by considering the resource balance and material and personnel exchanges in different star regions.
This system could also be scaled down to apply to anything from a bustling star district with ten trillion people to a space research institute with only tens of thousands of people.

Today, the Nameless Fleet, with a total population of just 180 million people, could use the Rotation System’s guidance, which significantly reduced the workload for the fleet’s evaluation group.
However, Quentin Cooper did not use it right away. Instead, he asked the evaluation group to spend half a year adjusting the strategy in the Rotation System to fit the characteristics of the Nameless Fleet and put it into practice.
By 2845, as more and more new people were able to take over the jobs held by the older generation through functional level assessments, many manual posts began to switch from long-term duty mode to rotation mode.
