In just five years, the entire fleet had accelerated over one hundred and fifty times, reaching a velocity of three thousand kilometers per second, equivalent to one percent of the speed of light.
As soon as the whole formation moved beyond the gravitational boundary of the Constant Star, free from the risk of meteorite attacks, it adopted a higher-gravity acceleration mode.
From initial excitement and curiosity to eventual familiarity, ordinary citizens gradually adapted to life aboard the spaceship and lost significant interest in such news. Most people would only glance at the news occasionally before exclaiming, "Oh, already over three thousand kilometers per second... truly a milestone for human flight!"
To manage the heat generated by the spaceship and reduce wear and tear, most ordinary citizens needed to undergo long-term hibernation, with the exception of some special personnel.
