After discussing with his mother, Gu Hang decided that he could dispatch a force of about 30,000 people to accompany the mission to Heijian Star.
The reason for this number was mainly due to consideration of loading capacity and delivery ability.
They would stay inside the starships in the capacity of sailors and crew members.
It was not that they couldn't carry more people; in fact, Dennison Henry's fleet that was conducting the operation consisted of nine starships, among which four were 'Big Belly' transports.
This thing was quite famous in interstellar trade. It wasn't fast, it had no heavy armor, and it didn't even have designed ports for weapons, lacking the potential to be modified into an armed merchant ship.
But it had two advantages that made it dominant in interstellar trade: 1. It was big and could carry a lot. 2. It was cheap.
