Zhang Beihai continued: "We will always be a part of humanity, but now we are an independent society and must get rid of our spiritual dependence on the earth world."

"Now we should give our world a name. We come from the human world and may be the only successors of human civilization. Let's call it the Human Federation." Dongfang Yanxu suggested.

"Very good." Zhang Beihai cast an approving look to the east, then turned to the queue again and said: "From now on, each of us is a citizen of the Human Federation."

"This moment may be the second starting point of human civilization. We have a lot to do, and now everyone is asked to return to their posts."

Countless holographic image phalanxes disappeared, and the Chang'an Qiche phalanx also began to disperse.

Zhang Beihai then ordered: "We must convene a citizens' meeting as soon as possible to determine the basic affairs of the human federation, and then put most people into hibernation as soon as possible and let the ecological cycle system operate in the minimum mode."

In any case, the history of the Human Federation began, and at the same time, my father's gaze appeared again in the dark, like a ray that penetrated everything from the edge of the universe.

Zhang Beihai felt his gaze, and he said in his heart: "Yes, Dad, you really can't rest in peace, it's not over, everything continues again."

The next day, the Human Federation held its first all-citizens meeting. The meeting consisted of sub-venues on various space battleships connected by holographic images into a main venue.

About nine million citizens attended the meeting, and the rest who were unable to leave their posts participated online.

The meeting first determined an urgent matter, which was the navigation goal of the Human Federation.

At the meeting, it was unanimously agreed to keep the current course unchanged. This was the goal that Zhang Beihai set for the Changan Qiche when it set sail, that is, it is still heading in the direction of Cygnus.

The precise target is the star NH558J2, which is one of the closest stars to the solar system with planets. According to current observations, it has two planets, both of which are gas-liquid planets similar to Jupiter.

The Star Destroyer Strike Group has extremely strong industrial strength, coupled with mankind's mature space city construction technology, the Human Federation does not need to find a livable world.

As long as those two planets have natural satellites, or there is an asteroid belt in the star system, then the human federation does not need to wander and can rebuild its home in another world.

The star NH558J2 is eighteen light years away from the solar system. According to the current speed and considering various uncertain factors in the voyage, the Human Federation may arrive in five hundred years.

This cold number once again makes reality and the future clear. This will be the longest expedition in the history of humans and Trisolarans, even longer than the Trisolaran fleet's invasion of the solar system.

At the same time, in this citizens' meeting, the political status of the Human Federation was also determined. The meeting believed that the 12 Star Destroyer Strike Groups and the Human Federation will always belong to the human world.

But under the current circumstances, it is politically impossible for the Human Federation to belong to the three major fleets and the Earth World, but is a completely independent political body.

This resolution was sent to the solar system, and the two international organizations of the Star Alliance were silent for a long time before replying. They did not express their position, only as a tacit blessing.

As a result, the human world is now divided into three worlds, the ancient earth world, the new era fleet world, and the human federation flying into the depths of the universe.

The last world has only over 10 million people, but it carries all the hopes of human civilization, including the expectations of Marshal Sai of the Solar System Fleet, who has successfully launched a deterrent.

….

Soon the second citizens' meeting began, this time to discuss the issues of the various levels of leadership of the Human Federation.

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhang Beihai suggested: "I think this agenda is a little early. We must first determine the social form of the human federation before we can decide what kind of leadership agency is needed."

"That is to say, we first need to formulate a constitution." Dongfang Yanxu said.

"At least it's the basic principle of the Constitution."

As a result, the meeting started discussions in this direction, and most people had similar ideological tendencies.

Because the human federation is in a harsh space environment and its own ecosystem is very fragile. To survive under such conditions, it must establish a well-disciplined society and ensure the will to act in a unified manner.

So some people proposed that the existing military system should be retained and a military government should be established. This idea was approved by most people.

"In other words, an authoritarian society." Zhang Beihai commented after hearing this.

"Senior, we should have a nicer name. We are originally an army." Chu Yan, commander of the Sixth Legion of the Solar System Fleet, suggested.

"I don't think so." Zhang Beihai shook his head resolutely and said: "Survival alone cannot guarantee survival. Development is the best guarantee for survival."

"During the voyage, we need to develop our own science and technology and expand the size of the fleet. The Human Federation needs active new ideas and creativity. This can only be achieved by establishing a society that fully respects humanity and freedom."

"If the predecessors are referring to the establishment of a society like the modern Earth International, the Human Federation has innate conditions." A former Earth United Fleet general suggested.

"Yes." Dongfang Yanxu nodded to the proposer: "The Human Federation has only 10 million people and has an extremely complete information system. Any issue can be easily discussed and voted on by all citizens."

"We can take advantage of this opportunity to establish the first true democratic regime in human history and improve the need-based distribution society established by Marshal Say in the solar system."

"No way." Zhang Beihai shook his head again and said: "As those citizens said before, the Human Federation is sailing in the harsh space, and disasters that threaten the entire world may occur at any time."

"Human society has proven in the history of the Three-Body Crisis that in the face of such a disaster, especially when our world needs to sacrifice parts to preserve the whole, the kind of humanistic society you envision is very fragile."

After hearing Zhang Beihai's words, all the participants looked at each other with the same meaning in their eyes: "Then what should we do?"

Zhang Beihai smiled and said: "I think it's too simple. This question has no answer in the entire history of mankind. How can it be solved in one meeting?"

""I think it may take a long process of practice and exploration in the next five centuries before we can find a suitable social model for the human federation."

"After the meeting, all citizens should have a full discussion on this. Please forgive me for interfering with the agenda of the meeting. Let's proceed as originally planned." Zhang Beihai coughed twice.

I have always been curious here. It obviously took two thousand years to get to that star system in the original book, but it took Starship Earth four hundred years to build four star systems. So did they encounter some adventure?
