Like Sun Weitao, City in the Sky is a holy place in the hearts of young people around the world.
Sky City is mainly based on the aerospace industry, supplemented by finance, coupled with high-tech industries such as virtual network, intelligent manufacturing... and uses its huge influence to remotely control global resources and lay out the global industrial chain.
After more than ten years of development, Sky City’s share of the global economy has reached 15.73% of total GDP, creating a miracle in the history of human economics.
City in the Sky - The Peak of Civilization Xingyao Group's headquarters building is surrounded by financial institutions from major consortiums around the world and department buildings of the federal government. It can almost be said that City in the Sky has already become the world's financial center, political core, and the center of all mankind. heart.
Two months later, like countless young people with dreams, Sun Weitao couldn't wait to come to Sky City after finishing his work at the greening base.
Sun Weitao was sitting in the passenger seat of a flying car, looking down at the City in the Sky, looking around like Grandma Liu visiting the compound, his eyes were exhausted.
The flying car followed the dense traffic and landed slowly in the parking area of a spaceship-like building.
Soon, Sun Weitao followed his fellow countryman Yang Chao out of the parking area.
Yang Chao pulled Sun Weitao into the hall and introduced with a smile on his face: "How about it, there are many people! This is now the busiest place in the Sky City!"
Sun Weitao looked at the crowded hall and asked in surprise: "Yes! There are so many people, where is this place?"
"This is the ship insurance hall! Don't you want to find a spaceship to invest in and explore? This place is a collection of spaceship leasing, sales, shareholding, business undertaking, voyage joint insurance... and other businesses. People who come here either want to run a ship or run a ship. Anyone who comes looking for a ship, no matter what type of spaceship, can find it here." Yang Chao introduced with a smile.
Sun Weitao's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "What models are there that can sail immediately?"
"Of course, Explorer, Soaring, Ring, Watcher...these popular classic spaceships are all built by the Shining Star Group. They have good performance and guaranteed quality, but they are very popular. Of course, there are also spaceships built by other groups. For example, China Heavy Industries' Feitian, Mitsubishi Group's Yaoguang, Furong Consortium's Triumph..." Yang Chao introduced in detail.
Yang Chao pointed to the big screen in front of the crowd and explained: "Aren't you looking for a boat to join the expedition? Go to the front to register the information, then read the recruitment announcement materials, select the suitable boat owner to discuss, if you have money and want to buy shares, you can Watch the prospectus channel and you might find a suitable ship.”
"Well, Brother Yang, thank you for the tip!" Sun Weitao nodded happily and said gratefully.
"Ha! It's such a small thing, why are you so polite! Maybe I still need to rely on you for food!" Yang Chao waved his hand and smiled.
Sun Weitao was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded with a smile: "Brother Yang, you are joking. You have been in the Sky City for so long, and I am just about the same as you."
Hearing this, Yang Chao sighed, looked at Sun Weitao and said with a wry smile: "Little brother! For the sake of my fellow countrymen, there is something I need to tell you in advance."
"Yeah! Brother Yang, tell me." Sun Weitao looked at Yang Chao and nodded solemnly.
"I used to run ships on fixed routes, traveling back and forth between Mars and the Earth, and I made a lot of money! Later I tried several 'voyage expeditions', but ended up losing all my money. Interstellar exploration seems very wonderful and romantic, but it contains huge consequences. The risk may at least make you bankrupt, or in serious cases, you may not even be able to get back with the people and the boat." Yang Chao introduced as he looked at Sun Weitao.
"No! Is interstellar voyage so dangerous?" Sun Weitao asked in surprise.
Yang Chao looked at Sun Weitao and introduced: "Yes! Interstellar voyage is no joke. First of all, sufficient supply preparations need to be made for a long distance, and the route must be planned clearly. If there is insufficient preparation, it is very likely that the entire ship will be starved. Death. Secondly, various accidents may occur during the voyage, such as meteorite impacts, star explosions, cosmic rays... which can easily cause spacecraft malfunctions."
After a pause, Yang Chao looked at Sun Weitao and asked: "In the vast universe, once the spacecraft malfunctions, you understand what it means!"
After listening to Yang Chao's words, Sun Weitao's expression changed drastically.
"Of course, fatal problems such as accidents and spacecraft malfunctions are relatively rare. However, the chance of an interstellar voyage returning home is very high. The result is a huge loss!" Yang Chao looked at Sun Weitao and explained .
Hearing this, Sun Weitao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Sensing Sun Weitao's look, Yang Chao asked in surprise: "What, are you planning to go on an interstellar voyage?"
"Yes, Brother Sun! Fixed lines are too boring and not suitable for me." Sun Weitao nodded and responded.
Having just left the monotonous place at the greening base, Sun Weitao no longer wants to engage in a similar job without change.
After listening to Sun Weitao's words, Yang Chao laughed and quickly explained: "Haha, Xiao Sun, I listened to Brother Yang's advice. If we want to carry out an interstellar voyage, we still need to visit the Mars base to accumulate some space experience. Then we can carry out the interstellar voyage. I won’t mess up my hands and feet.”
After speaking, Yang Chao introduced with a smile: "Before this, you still need to fill out forms and undergo relevant aerospace skills training. You can only take up the job after completing the assessment. Things are very troublesome!"
Hearing this, Sun Weitao nodded without missing a beat and said thank you: "Thank you, Brother Yang. If it weren't for you, I would have taken a lot of detours."
"You're welcome, I'll take you to register first!" Yang Chao waved to Sun Weitao.
Sun Weitao followed closely and walked towards the service hall.
The wages of avarice is death.
If you discover a planet suitable for immigration, the federal government will recognize the planet's colonial governor status and enjoy 1% tax collection rights for 200 years. If you discover a resource star suitable for development, you will have the right to develop it and will receive policy support from the federal government... just a few encouraging policies. , deeply stimulated people around the world, and mobilized countless capital to pour into the field of interstellar voyages.
The hot aerospace field has driven the global private spacecraft manufacturing chain to flourish, just like the dawn of the Age of Discovery, which has greatly encouraged the development of the shipbuilding industry.
On the huge blue earth, spaceships are like swarms of mosquitoes, surrounding the entire planet, constantly flying past, or rushing towards, and like hard-working bees, extremely busy.
The entire human civilization, encouraged by this trend of interstellar exploration, has shown an extremely enthusiastic development trend.
On the top floor of City in the Sky - the Peak of Civilization, in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Zhou Xing looked at the sky and the spaceships that kept flying by, with deep eyes and full of expectation.
"Boss, the Zijin expedition team has made a huge discovery." Zhou Xiaozhi's voice suddenly sounded from behind Zhou Xing.
"Huh? What level of discovery?" Zhou Xing asked casually without looking back.
With the opening of the "Interstellar Age", human spacecrafts continue to attack, galaxies near the solar system are constantly being excavated, and resource stars and life stars are constantly being discovered. However, a planet that is completely suitable for human immigration has not yet been discovered. At the same time, There was no news from the Panshi either.
Continuously disappointed, Zhou Xing gradually became less hopeful.
"Boss, the discovery made by the Zijin expedition team is S-level. They discovered a planet with a low-level intelligent civilization. The land-sea ratio is 8:2. The atmosphere has a structure similar to that of the Earth. The gravity is 1.3 times that of the Earth. It has a rich ecology. The environment is 337 light years away from us." Zhou Xiaozhi excitedly reported to Zhou Xinghui.
Zhou Xing's body trembled, he turned around suddenly, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi and ordered: "What! Send the details of the planet quickly."
"Understood!" Zhou Xiaozhi responded, and immediately, his eyes projected a holographic screen.
A blue planet appeared, and then a large number of pictures of the planet appeared, with blue creatures, yellow trees, blue seas, and red deserts with no grass growing... Pictures of the planet's environment continued to emerge, and the picture finally stood upright on a blue Human biology is fixed.
"Boss, the blue upright creature in front of you is an intelligent species on the planet. The inventory is estimated to be about 550 million. The normal height is 2.2-2.5 meters. The bones are strong and the individual combat power is excellent. However, their understanding of technology is very low. , this civilization is still in the period of hunting with primitive means..." Zhou Xiaozhi explained to Zhou Xing in detail.
Zhou Xing looked at the planet with shining eyes, ecstatic.
There are no indigenous people who have developed a strong civilization and an environment suitable for human survival... This planet is simply the best gift God has given to mankind.
In response to the call of the federal government and Zhou Xing to develop the racial scale, "men, women, and children" around the world have adopted a positive attitude and strive to create babies to contribute to the continuation of human civilization.
More than ten years have passed, and the population of the earth, lunar bases, and Mars bases combined will soon exceed 18 billion. Next year, or the year after, it will soon exceed 20 billion, and then it will expand explosively.
At this time, human civilization is already in a very tense state. If we can no longer find a suitable planet for immigration, humans will probably "play" themselves to death.
Well, with the discovery of this planet, the problem of rapid population expansion has been solved.
"Xiaozhi, report this situation to the federal president immediately, and then formulate a large-scale immigration plan!" Zhou Xing excitedly ordered to Zhou Xiaozhi.
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi readily agreed.
Zhou Xing thought of something, and then ordered: "Inform everyone to convene an emergency meeting, I have something to announce!"
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi nodded in agreement.
The next second, Zhou Xiaozhi conveyed Zhou Xing's order to the relevant personnel.
Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, Lin Wei and others received the notice of an urgent meeting, and they all put down what they were doing and went straight to the top conference room at the Peak of Civilization.
Seven or eight minutes later, Yang Minghua and his party entered the conference room one after another, and they all looked at Zhou Xing sitting in the chairman's seat in surprise.
After such a long meeting, this was the first time Yang Minghua and the others saw Zhou Xing waiting for them, and they were a little flattered.
"Everyone, sit down and don't look at me like this. I have a happy event to inform you today." Zhou Xing looked at everyone and invited with a smile.
Chen Fan's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask: "What's the happy event, Mr. Zhou? Is there a project breakthrough?"
"No, if the project achieves a breakthrough, President Zhou will hold a performance meeting immediately!" Yang Minghua frowned and said strangely.
Hearing this, Chen Fan, Xie Liwu, Lin Wei and others nodded. Based on their past experiences, they unanimously agreed with Yang Minghua's judgment.
"No need to guess." Zhou Xing smiled at everyone, turned to look at Zhou Xiaozhi beside him, and ordered: "Xiaozhi, tell everyone about the discovery of Blue Pole Star."
Zhou Xiaozhi nodded, controlled the holographic projection in the center of the conference table to display the Blue Pole Star, and introduced to everyone: "On July 12, 15th year of the Federation Calendar, the Zijin vessel driven by the Zijin expedition team discovered a star in the Gli3se669 galaxy 237 light-years away from the earth. Life Star…”
Yang Minghua, Lin Wei and others opened their eyes wide and stared at the holographic screen. They were all stunned while listening to Zhou Xiaozhi's explanation.
"This, this... is this true? Mr. Zhou, we have discovered a planet with life similar to the earth?" Chen Fan looked at Zhou Xing excitedly, unable to speak clearly.
Zhou Xing smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true. Would I joke about this kind of thing?"
Yang Minghua looked at Zhou Xing, suppressed his excitement, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, what are your plans? Do you want to disclose this news to all mankind?"
"There is no rush to announce the news. We will wait until we get more detailed information from Blue Pole Star." Zhou Xing shook his head and looked at the crowd and said, "I asked you to come here today. In addition to informing you of this news, there are also more important things to announce! "
Hearing this, Yang Minghua, Lin Wei and others restrained their excitement and listened carefully.
"Private spaceships are flying everywhere now, which has added many dangers to the continuation of human civilization. If the Blue Pole Star is discovered to be an advanced intelligent civilization this time, the situation of mankind will become very dangerous. Therefore, I decided to persuade the federal government to restart the Rock Mother The ship project, and the construction of additional space parking ports." Zhou Xing introduced as he looked at the crowd.
After a pause, Zhou Xing looked at the crowd and said: "The focus of your work has all shifted to the space field. At the same time, you have to prepare for the Blue Pole Star immigration project. Next, your burden will become heavier. ,clear?"
Space parking port!
Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu and others looked at each other, looked at Zhou Xing and nodded solemnly.
"Understood, Mr. Zhou, we will let go of the matters at hand as soon as possible." Yang Minghua answered for everyone.
Zhou Xing nodded with satisfaction, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi, and ordered: "Xiaozhi, now I will explain to you the design plan of the space parking port."
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi responded, looking at the holographic screen with his electronic eyes.
The next second, the holographic screen above the conference table changed. A giant building appeared near the earth. Its arc shape was like a half-moon covered with huge metal pipe frames. The extended metal pipes connected various spacecrafts. Countless giant metal buildings at the bottom are connected to the earth. They are like supporting frames, densely packed, sometimes soft and sometimes hard, drifting with the current.
Zhou Xiaozhi looked at the giant building on the screen and introduced to everyone: "Due to the increasing number of spaceships, the parking platform of Sky City is overwhelmed. In order to cope with the increasing demand for parking and the transportation of materials, the boss designed this space The parking platform is 600 kilometers long and half-moon shaped. It is made of the latest memory titanium alloy... The main body at the bottom is the space elevator group connecting the space city, which is made of flexible nanomaterials... "
