Wang Sen transferred back almost all of his technically capable engineering staff and began work under the guidance of the Academy of Sciences.

Qi Yiming felt that he was the only redundant person at the scene because he could not help with anything other than shouting "come on".

But in the office, whenever he thinks about mankind's energy freedom, he becomes too excited to work.

The entire renovation plan will last two years. After all, the size of the Hope is huge, and the central city is relatively far from the energy center of the Hope.

In order to connect the vacuum zero-point energy absorption equipment to the energy center, a lot of pipeline rerouting and building demolition work was required.

Qi Yiming gradually calmed down after the first half month of excitement.

As the head of the United Human Government, he still has a lot of work to deal with.

Especially since the unfinished meeting had been postponed again and again, Qi Yiming knew that if he didn't give an explanation, someone would block the door and cause trouble.

So the meeting that had been adjourned for half a month was held again on the Hope.

This time Qi Yiming did not hide the major discovery of the Academy of Sciences.

"Everyone must have heard during this period that we humans may achieve true energy freedom for the first time." Qi Yiming is still a little excited when he mentions this matter.

"Could it be that the rumors are true?" A white-haired old man among the participants stood up tremblingly. Because the coalition government had uniformed their clothes, it was impossible to tell which country this man once belonged to.

After hearing this, Qi Yiming slowly nodded to the old man: "The Academy of Sciences has repaired the energy equipment brought back from the wreckage of the Zentraedi spacecraft. This equipment is the vacuum zero-point energy that has been mentioned countless times in human history."

With a buzz, the conference hall suddenly became lively.

The meeting was adjourned for half a month, but Qi Yiming has not announced the news to the public.

Qi Yiming is still relatively cautious when it comes to such key events that affect human morale. He doesn't want to make a big deal about it before getting news of the final success.

If everyone's joy comes to nothing in the end, this will be very damaging to morale.

But the main purpose of this meeting is to study how to allocate energy quotas. This kind of thing is really a headache for Qi Yiming. If one company has more, the other company will have to reduce it. This is a fatal thing, and no one is willing to give in.

It is impossible for Qi Yiming to risk riots and forcefully withdraw quotas from the best-prepared New Federation fleet and give them to others.

Even Qi Yiming, who has absolute authority in the New Federation, cannot do it.

But now, with new energy equipment, humans will no longer have to worry about energy issues.

Qi Yiming raised his hand to signal everyone to stop making noise. He cleared his throat and continued: "Don't announce this matter to the outside world. It won't be too late to announce it until the vacuum zero point extraction equipment can be put into use. By then, the energy supply of the escort fleet will be released." All energy supplies related to people’s livelihood will be liberalized except when necessary.”

"What should we do with the energy supply of each spacecraft during the period before the equipment is put into use?" Although the energy problem has been solved, it will only be two years later, but now some spacecraft are unable to survive. .

Qi Yiming thought for a while and said: "You report a number first, and everyone can work together to help these spaceships that cannot survive this period."

After all, energy freedom has not yet been truly achieved. Before that, it is actually unrealistic for all parties to let down their guard and start cooperating.

Even if the human coalition government is now formed, it is just a showpiece. Qi Yiming believes that without the breakthrough of the Academy of Sciences, as long as the coalition government touches the issue of energy distribution, this government will be emptied in minutes.

As for the fact that each company is so talkative now, it is entirely because they have seen a complete solution to the energy shortage problem, and each company is willing to allocate some from their own reserves to support other spacecrafts, otherwise they would not even think about it.

After solving this long-delayed problem, one participant asked to visit the construction site, actually just to get some reassurance.

After all, this matter is so big that even Qi Yiming has been given a reprieve for more than half a month. These participants who are suffering from energy shortages are much more anxious than Qi Yiming, and they can't wait to complete the transformation of the entire energy system overnight. Work.

The evacuation fleet arrived at the first rest point two years after setting sail. This time, except for the cooling time of the jump engine, Qi Yiming was not in a hurry to order the fleet to set off.

Instead, he deliberately stayed in place for nearly half a year.

Because there are many construction points in the transformation project that require outer space operations, spacecraft or warships in the transition state cannot conduct outer space operations.

It's time to take advantage of the fleet's rest period to finish all the work that needs to be done at once, and the rest will be troublesome later.

The engineering staff are also aware of the importance of the work they are doing, so they have not taken a single day off from the start of work to now, and are fully committed to their assigned work.

On June 4, the third year after leaving the human territory, Qi Yiming finally received the news he had dreamed of from Wang Sen. The reconstruction work was nearing completion, and in seven or eight days at most, he could try to integrate the vacuum zero-point energy extraction equipment into Hope. No.’s energy supply system.

While the Hope was undergoing internal modifications, the Academy of Sciences was not idle, and research on energy extraction equipment has been ongoing.

Now Shi Shaojie and the others have been able to pause the equipment and start it up again, as well as perform some simple equipment maintenance work.

When Shi Shaojie applied to Qi Yiming for more in-depth research, Qi Yiming decisively rejected the request.

Just kidding, in-depth research requires dismantling the device. What if you have one or two uninstalled parts after disassembling and reassembling it?

Therefore, Shi Shaojie and his colleagues could only transfer their research from physical research to theoretical research. It would not be too late to conduct further research when there is a breakthrough in theory.

On June 10, the reconstruction project was completely completed.

Qi Yiming excitedly announced the exciting news to the entire fleet at the former site of the Academy of Sciences in the Central City of Hope, and personally installed the last screw of the reconstruction project.

Then, under the expectant gaze of everyone, the energy outlet of the vacuum zero-point energy extraction equipment was connected to the energy control center of the Hope.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Qi Yiming even felt that the lighting facilities inside the Hope were much brighter than before when the connection was made.

Immediately afterwards came reports on key nodes from various places.

"Energy pipelines are all normal..."

"The master control system is normal..."

"Energy reserves will peak in 12 hours..."

When these last words were heard, deafening cheers erupted in the central city square.
