"Plop!"
Carrying the space capsule, Chen Yu dropped from the atmospheric escape layer of 500,000 meters to more than 100 meters above sea level. Only then did he let go with confidence. He saw the capsule smashing into the seawater like a meteor, splashing several meters high. spray.
Half a minute later, the cabin surfaced and swayed among the waves.
"Boom."
After landing on the roof of the cabin, Chen Yu bent down to twist the lock and forcefully opened the door.
"Squeak."
The hatch opened and he looked inside a few times: "Is everything okay?"
"fine."
"we are doing well."
"どうもありがとう…"
Everyone checked each other and responded one after another.
"As long as it's okay, stay in there and I'll send it back to you now."
With that said, Chen Yu closed the cabin door and, driven by the engine, dragged the cabin to the metal platform of [Earth Water Spray].
Within ten minutes, we returned to the water near the launch pad.
At this time, the surrounding area was already filled with ships of various types, and the air was also filled with dense helicopters.
"Everyone come out."
Ignoring the armed forces at the scene, Chen Yu stepped onto the platform and reopened the door of the space capsule: "Get on one by one, hold on to the ladder, don't fall into the sea."
The first one to emerge was the Japanese girl. She jumped onto the metal platform with the help of everyone, her face alternated between green and red, and she was obviously still a little scared.
Then, it was the turn of the other four agile young people from the barrage group and the five participants from the reward group.
Finally, there was Xiao Taohong and the Maoist engineer.
"What a great space flight!"
The old engineer climbed on the ladder and kissed the Andromeda capsule excitedly, reluctant to let go.
"The evaluation has ended. Thank you for your participation and support." Walking to the metal arch, Chen Yu called up the virtual earth and said to the five people in the barrage group: "Let's start the teleportation with you first. I hope we can see you again."
"Can we take a group photo?" The doctor calmly took out his mobile phone and asked.
"I also want!"
"Me too."
"そしてprivate..."
After taking a group photo, the five members of the barrage group teleported away one after another.
This liftoff trip is destined to be an unforgettable experience for them in their lifetime.
"And you guys." After seeing the five people off, Chen Yu looked at the reward group: "It's time to leave. Can we take a group photo?"
"It's an honor for me to take a photo with Mr. Wang, but I won't bother you with the transmission." The director of the China Aerospace Academy pointed to several ships behind him: "I need to go there to report some situations."
"Me too." The Airbus director raised his hand.
"I won't go back either." The old engineer lying on the ladder interrupted: "I need to help our country recover the Andromeda space capsule."
"What about you?" Chen Yu nodded and looked at the remaining three people.
"I have to go back, please." The general manager of Google's planetary resources subsidiary bowed.
"Me too." Ariane Space raised its hand.
"I...I want to go to the floating castle. I wonder if there is an opportunity?" Musk asked tentatively.
"No." Chen Yu said simply.
"...Then...then I'll go back too."
After sending everyone away, Chen Yu took Xiao Taohong to a Chinese warship and entered the cabin under the enthusiastic guidance of the officer.
"Hello!"
The person in charge of the warship, who had been waiting in the corridor for a long time, stepped forward and saluted Chen Yu: "I am the commander of the Chinese garrison at Guangdao. It is an honor to meet you."
"You're all compatriots, so you don't have to be polite." Chen Yu waved his hand: "Use the radio to notify the representatives of various officials around you to come over for a meeting. I want to briefly allocate how to use the [Earth Spray]."
"yes."
The person in charge nodded solemnly and ordered his subordinates to do it. Then he took Chen Yu to the spacious conference room and respectfully made tea for him.
"You're welcome. It's not convenient for me to eat or drink while wearing protective clothing."
"Okay." The person in charge nodded, sat next to Chen Yu, glanced at the time, and hesitated to speak.
"What do you want to say?" Chen Yu asked proactively.
The person in charge immediately straightened his back, sorted out his words for a few seconds, and said carefully: "Wang...Mr. Wang, for the Mars colonization plan, besides SpaceX, are you really not considering adding more partners?"
"Na..."
Hearing this, Chen Yu crossed his legs and looked at the person in charge: "Is this your personal meaning? Or is it the official meaning?"
"A...person."
"That's right." Chen Yu nodded: "The so-called Mars colonization plan is just a trap. It's a mixed bag of good and bad. Why are you getting involved in this?"
"Trick?" The person in charge was stunned.
"You taste it, you taste it carefully."
Chen Yu lowered his voice: "A Mars colony has no purpose? It sounds nice, but it is a big trouble and a big drag. Especially for national units. Before the technology that changes the planet's environment emerges, sending it to Vietnam The more people go there and the bigger the city is built, the greater the burden will be. Besides tourism and scientific research, what else is it used for?"
"This..." the person in charge was thoughtful.
"If it's purely for scientific research, it's more cost-effective to build a small station. What's more, humans can't even create a self-sufficient ecosystem now, so they can only rely on the earth to launch materials. And the number of times the [Earth Spray] can work every day is limited. So Many countries are divided, how much can Musk or Jianguo get?"
"SpaceX does not have the right to launch!" The person in charge's eyes lit up: "He has not participated in the construction of Guangdao and Super Dimension Academy. If he wants to launch at no cost, he can only purchase or request the official launch opportunity from Jianguo!"
"That's right. When I open the portal and send a large number of people to Mars, Jianguo cannot ignore it. Isn't this a burden?" Chen Yu leaned back tactically and made a 6 gesture: "Show or not." ?”
"As a result, the number of launches for other purposes will decrease. It may even force powerful countries to return to liquid fuel rockets to meet missions with lower authority." The person in charge calmly analyzed: "This is a big burden, but it can We can also get a lot of valuable data and experience on extraterrestrial colonization.”
"So it's a mixed bag of good and bad." Chen Yu spread his hands: "But the symbolic significance is still greater than the actual effect. And I know what it means not to worry about the scarcity but the inequality. In the current world situation, if you bring one more person, you have to bring a big one. Then I won’t do anything else and just open the door for you to play with every day. Just like the maglev train that opened last time, there are a lot of troublesome things outside, right?"
"I...I don't know much about this." The person in charge was slightly embarrassed.
"You will understand if you have the opportunity to have more children." Chen Yu pointed out the window: "Anyway, the launch pad is given to you. There are no cost constraints. It is easy to establish a colony on Mars. Maybe it will be faster than SpaceX. But I don’t think the higher authorities will do this. It is more likely to set up a small site for scientific research and give more launch opportunities to cutting-edge satellites and deep space exploration.”
"This...this is not something I can participate in."
"I just said it casually." Chen Yu waved his hand, picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip, but found that there was a layer of helmet between his mouth and the teacup, so he gave up.
Half a minute later.
"Boom!"
The door of the conference room was pushed open, and a group of official representatives with different costumes and skin colors rushed in...
