The calendar has turned a new page, and one year has passed in the blink of an eye since the Sventovet docked at the Martian port.
A lot of things happened during this year.
The first is the city of Sventovet.
After discussing with Jiang Chen, Gorovin established the Sventovet Group, whose main businesses are import and export, shipbuilding industry, and communication services. We have to admit that these clones are already far ahead of Future Heavy Industries and other companies on Earth in terms of interstellar navigation related technologies.
The Lightning N1 warp engine produced by the Sventovit Group has snatched orders from Futureman Heavy Industries and has become the standard engine for Earth Defense Alliance starships of one million tons or more. Due to the large technological generation gap, Future Heavy Industries simply gave up on this market and instead focused on offensive weapons, carrier-based aircraft, drones and other fields.
In addition to the shipbuilding industry, the Sventovit Group has also been involved in the communications business, and to everyone's surprise has become the largest communications service provider on Mars.
Speaking of the Sventovit Group’s involvement in the communications business, there is another episode.
About a month after Sventovit anchored in the Mars synchronous orbit, Gorovin I found Jiang Chen again and asked him why he didn't connect Tiangong City's network to the earth.
After learning that it was because of the limited quantum communication resources of the Future People Group, Golovin I ended the communication without saying anything else.
In the second month, a huge quantum communication base station was built, and three communication relay satellites successively ascended to the Mars synchronous orbit. A month later, Golovin I found Jiang Chen again. This time he was not asking about the network, but told him that the Sventovit Group hoped to build a quantum communication base station in Star Circle City and Marchena Port.
As for the accessories needed to build these two communication base stations, they are naturally ready.
In this way, the two originally independent networks between Mars and Earth were forcibly woven into one network by the Sventovit Group. The quantum communication technology mastered by Golovin is so advanced that the delay in accessing the Earth's network on Mars is actually reduced to less than 100 ping.
Even if people in the future work hard, it will be impossible to achieve this level. The communication resources in Tiangong City can only allow local colonists to make phone calls, send text messages, or browse web pages with their relatives on earth...
In this way, the citizens of Tiangong City welcomed the village's access to the Internet. The Phantom Helmet, which could only play single-player "mini-games", is now useful again. Those colonists who miss their relatives on earth day and night can finally meet their relatives in the virtual world built by the Phantom Helmet.
The gravity belt has solved the travel problem, and now the network problem has also been solved. The citizens living in Tiangong City can once again live the same life as on earth.
Of course, the most enthusiastic person is Golovin himself.
At first, Jiang Chen was confused as to why Ge Luwen was eager to connect a network cable between the Earth and Mars, until Xia Shiyu later reported a piece of data to him. On the day the Mars Village was opened, more than 5,000 accounts with IP addresses from Mars were registered on the "Galaxy Edge" server.
Five thousand helmets, this is an extremely small number. Every day, Futureman Technology produces not only 100,000 but also 50,000 phantom helmets. Normally, sales of this scale would not attract the attention of Xia Shiyu or Jiang Chen at all. However, the person who purchased these more than 5,000 helmets was the Sventovit Group, which made it difficult for Jiang Chen not to notice.
He told Xia Shiyu to pay more attention to this point, and not long after, he made a new discovery.
In Sventovet City, the best-selling products are holographic equipment and VR equipment. According to the data from Futureman Technology, the obsession of Golu literati with these two things has almost reached the level of addiction.
If not at work, then wearing a phantom helmet... This is the evaluation of the employees of the Mars Geostationary Shipyard about their clone colleagues.
These clones rarely communicate with outsiders and rarely speak outside of work, even though their mastery of languages would stun even the most knowledgeable linguists. In addition to eating and sleeping, they spend almost 95% of their free time in the virtual world.
Jiang Chen guessed that this might be because they spent most of their time in the virtual world during cryo-sleep.
As for the other question that puzzled him, he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.
He has always subjectively believed that the lives of the Gorovans under the Gorovans' mental system are like ants under the rule of the queen, and they have no need for entertainment that has nothing to do with survival.
But now it seems that this is just his prejudice.
Is it to live a completely different feeling in the virtual world than in reality
he does not know.
For this issue, he also specifically talked about this matter with Golovin I. However, Golovin I did not want to answer this question, and he was not even willing to tell Jiang Chen his game account...
In addition to what happened on Golovin's side, several major things also happened on the Defense Alliance side.
According to Resolution 67 of the Defense Alliance Council, the "Trench Plan" jointly proposed by the five major member states was approved.
That is, while developing the Earth Fleet, build a space fortress in the area between the Kuiper Belt and Pluto to serve as the base of operations for the Earth Fleet.
If four years ago, the idea of building a fortress in the Kuiper Belt was probably just an unrealistic fantasy, then with the advancement of technology in interstellar navigation-related fields, this fantasy has become realistic.
In the past four years, the star system highway system of star ring trade has advanced from the orbit of Jupiter to the orbit of Pluto. Using warp drive and neutrino channel technology, the time to travel from the Earth-Moon system to the Kuiper Belt has been reduced from one year at the beginning to less than half a month now.
The steel and space station accessories produced in Tiangong City are directly sent to the synchronous orbit through the space elevator, and then towed by the Seagull-class transport ship to the direction of Pluto's orbit.
This fortress will not orbit the sun along with Pluto, but will slowly orbit the star with a revolution period of thousands of years. Although this means that the fortress will be slowly pulled toward the sun by the gravity of the star, but because of its location in the Kuiper Belt, the gravity here is already quite weak. On a time scale of hundreds of years and dozens of On the astronomical unit distance scale, this degree of displacement is completely negligible.
As for things that will happen a few hundred years from now, we can wait until a few hundred years from now to consider them.
What the Defense Alliance needs is just that in the next half century, this fortress can stand between the stars and the invaders, and respond to the enemy together with the Earth Fleet.
that's enough.
