Chapter 1037 -634: The Nameless Ones_2
At that time, the Nameless Fleet had no distinct civilizational characteristics; its essence was a comprehensive military force.
But after more than a hundred years, as the first-generation crew members gradually retired from the historical stage, the initially homogeneous population composition changed. The fleet leadership adopted the way the Empire appointed personnel – selecting the capable ones, allowing the second and third generations to successfully come forward.
It seemed fine on the surface, but it neglected one point – the fleet’s population had swelled to over a billion people, and it had grown so far apart from other humankind for so long that it had essentially become a budding civilizational society.
From the very beginning, the civilization system quietly born within the fleet was a textbook military council system.
After upheavals and drawing lessons from history, people like Quentin Cooper had a deep understanding of the current state of the fleet. The existing system had reached the end of its useful life, and they had to change in order to complete their mission smoothly.
“The initial appeasement work for the second and third generations has been done. Instructor Tiffany’s refusal to sleep also ensured that we have absolute military stability in the short term.”
“The first thing we need to do now is to use the materials summarized from the reading club as the basic foundation, and supplement them with the feasible ideas you proposed, to resume the theoretical knowledge education on the overall history, philosophy, and the concept of pan-civilization.”
“We must elevate the importance of cultivating spiritual attributes to the same level as professional competence. We can tolerate a slight deficiency in individual professional knowledge, but we cannot tolerate any problems with their thinking. From now on, we will establish a guidance working group to oversee all related work. When all conditions are ripe, our ultimate goal is to transform the fleet’s system and step towards the true republic of our Nameless Fleet.”
“Everyone must understand that within the Empire, there are Solar System People, Voyager Star People, Long-Armed Star People, Steel-Boned Star People, and Giant Source Star People. Today, while we, the Nameless Fleet, belong to the greater family of humanity, we have also become a distinct new civilization. I shall call us the Nameless Generation! The sole pursuit of the Nameless Generation is to forge towards the victorious expedition!”
Next, the guidance team recompiled a complete set of historical textbooks.
Besides an in-depth study of “Rise from the Insignificant Era,” world history and civilization history since 2049 also became important courses.
The void history from the past nine timelines was arranged into complete volumes, no longer kept secret, and also became part of the basic course for the fleet’s ideological education work.
The purpose of learning about the void history from multiple timelines is to make the new generation of space-born individuals in the fleet realize that the so-called right to choose their life now does not come out of thin air, but it is built on the foundation of at least a thousand years of sacrifice by nine generations of predecessors.
In the earliest few timelines, humankind did not leave the Solar System before 2500.
Those Earthlings were in a more desperate situation.
They had no choice where they were born, which galaxy to study in, or which battlefield to face which enemies.
They also had no choice between fighting or retreating when facing enemies.
Back then, human beings were born with only one option: a desperate battle with their backs against the wall.
Nine times, the sages died in nine timelines, enduring the pain of losing friends and family, restraining themselves with iron will for thousands of years, in order to slowly “steal” a new future for humanity, which gives us today.
But the war is not over yet, and humanity is not yet liberated.
We must make the new generation understand that humanity has reached its last critical juncture. History will not always repeat itself.
Humankind must not rely on the assistance of an unknown power that it has never grasped.
We must treat each attempt as the last one.
Even before his death, the sage made a detailed annotation, believing that this was the last time.
If we cannot win this battle, humanity will never find peace in the universe.
…
Time flew to 2917, when Quentin Cooper finally saw with great relief that more than 99% of the people had passed the psychological state assessment conducted by the AI.
In just seven years, Quentin had aged a lot.
On this day, he once again addressed the entire fleet, saying:
“The matter of preserving the human lineage has been handed to others.”
“The mission of the Nameless Generation is to reach the Galactic Center in exchange for pivotal victory.”
“If you had fled before, our whereabouts would have been exposed immediately.”
“You would have been chased, and our mission would have failed.”
“If you inherit our will and face sacrifice as others have done to create better conditions for you, our mission can continue.”
“I want to tell you that life cannot be eternal, but as long as our civilization can exist for one more day, our memories will eventually be eternal.”
“Although our current condition is indeed difficult and dangerous, someone has to take on the risk in order for future generations to live in an era of peace.”
“Initially, we could have refused to be drafted and stayed in our hometowns. But we, the 150 million people, left our hometowns and severed all connections with our faraway families. Were we stupid?”Are we really stupid?
I’ve told you all this, the answer is in your hearts.
From now on, the decision can be given back to you.
Starting today, the fleet will immediately reform, changing from the military council system to the Fleet Republic, which I personally named!
The Republic’s fleet will not force anyone to make a decision that goes against their will.
Tell me, what is your decision? Everyone has three days to think about it, and each person can submit their decision through their personal smart-brain.

We have completed the renovation of the Freedom Will Battleship.
Have you seen those 500 Freedom Will Battleships? They can take away 500 million people.
Those who want to leave can prepare now. This time, no one will stop you.”
Three days later, an incredible miracle happened.
In the fleet now, there are nearly 800 million people aged over five with independent thinking abilities.
Among such a large number, not a single person decided to leave.
Seeing the statistical results, Quentin Cooper, who had never shed a tear no matter how many comrades he had lost or how badly he had been hit by internal strife, could not help himself from crying tears of old age.
The huge stone that had been weighing down on his heart for decades suddenly shattered.
“For over two hundred years, we have been growing too. Our technology is advancing day by day. Every technological innovation in the past has made me feel that the hope of victory is even greater. But never has there been a moment like now, where I can clearly recognize that humanity will surely win!”
After finishing this sentence in a speech to the entire fleet, Quentin Cooper immediately cut off the communication.
Cough, cough, cough!
He clutched his chest and coughed violently.
Almost 260 years old, he is far too old, and even the Real Energy-class medical equipment can’t stop his aging process.
Ever since participating in the battle in the Voyager Galaxy, he has hardly ever taken a day off, except for the brief two or three years when he was forcibly put into cryogenic rest.
“General Quentin, you’re tired. Leave the rest of the transition work to us. You should get some rest.”
In the supreme meeting room, the equally old General Green advised.
Quentin waved his hand, “Of course, I’ll leave it to you. I’ll just serve as a mascot. But I can’t rest yet, I need to see it through to be at ease. Don’t worry, the Long March has come to its final stage, and I’ll definitely stand the last guard.”
After finishing, Quentin reluctantly got up and walked back to his room next to the meeting room with trembling steps, to receive the delaying treatment.
Three years later, on October 1st, 2920, with the new leadership composed mainly of the Second and Third Generations taking office, the fleet-wide system reform was successfully completed.
On December 12th of the same year, a compound-eyed army appeared directly in front of the fleet’s progress in curvature space.
It consisted of countless giant worms.
The smallest worm was 307 kilometers long and 29.33 kilometers in diameter.
These worms, shaped like sandworms, had huge mouths with multiple layers of serrated teeth.
They patrolled in the curvature space channel like sandworms in a water pipe, sometimes fighting and devouring each other, and sometimes forming school-like clusters, moving and swirling.
In the curvature space, they could move at will without the protection of a curvature layer.
This was a terrifying creature that humanity had never seen before.
In bed, the dying Quentin Cooper sat up straight upon hearing the news.
“It’s been almost twenty years since we last fought. This time will be a big one. Prepare for battle!”
Quentin knew that the enemy was well-prepared.
The fleet had hidden for two hundred years, but in the end, they were still predicted correctly by the enemy’s direction of movement.
