Chapter 1033 Seagull

Hearing Lin Ling use the word "cloud and mud" to describe the gap between the two parties, Jiang Chen didn't know what expression to use to face this fact.

Happy? Of course, there was no sign of any life activity on the spacecraft, and it had obviously been abandoned by its owner for a long time. At least there was no need to worry about being visited by higher civilizations. A colony ship from 20.5 light-years away is enough to give him a headache. If there is another unfriendly neighbor, the game will be unplayable.

Puzzled? There was also a point where he didn't understand why the spacecraft was abandoned. If even strong interaction materials could be created, there should be nothing in this universe that could threaten them, at least in his opinion.

"Don't think that these are all gone. When the 100-kilogram ball arrives, remember to bring it to me." Lin Ling patted Jiang Chen's shoulder in an old-fashioned way, but Jiang Chen patted her hand. He opened it and got a white eye.

"Arrived? Do you think it's a courier? Let's talk about it later."

Angrily, he poked Lin Ling's forehead with his index finger. He watched with relief as Lin Ling covered her forehead and squatted down. Jiang Chen ignored the dissatisfied gaze and turned around and walked towards the villa. .

…

It took a month to go there and about two months to get back.

Before the small ball was brought back, any discussion about it was meaningless. Jiang Chen put aside the matter for the time being. After the ball was brought back, he would think of a suitable reason to take it away from the Star Ring Trade and Space Department and bring it to Lin Ling for study in the apocalypse.

But there was one thing that Jiang Chen still didn't understand. Since he could discover the UFO, there was no reason why governments or institutions in this world couldn't. Logically speaking, the discovery of extraterrestrial civilization should be a major event that would shock the world. However, he had never heard of similar news before the war in the end times.

In this regard, Lin Ling gave an explanation.

"Now that you have discovered this thing, will you talk about it everywhere in your place?"

After hearing Lin Ling's rhetorical question, Jiang Chen immediately reacted.

If it were him, after mastering the information about extraterrestrial civilization, he would pretend that nothing had happened and secretly study the doorways behind closed doors. Even if nothing can be researched, it is impossible to disclose it to scientific research institutions in other countries, let alone the media and the public.

Don’t even think about it. If the United States finds out about the UFO, they will definitely jump out and say that the opportunity to communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations should belong to all mankind.

Then ask Star Circle Trading to send things to the research institute in Area 51. And by that time, even the new country's friendly partners China and Russia will definitely express their approval tactfully, except for the last point.

There is no real friendship between countries. When necessary, even enemies can become brothers, and brothers and sisters can fight against each other. History has proven this countless times.

Jiang Chen did not stay in the apocalypse for a long time, but only stayed for three days before returning to the present world.

This time when Jiang Chen returned from the apocalypse, he didn't come back empty-handed. He also brought the Honghe X1 engine designed by the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology in his storage space.

This engine is similar to the Shuttle 07 engine designed by East Asia Heavy Industries for the Pan-Asia Aerospace Group's Sea Dragon transport ship. It is also the engine that Jiang Chen bought from the Beluga Undersea Research Station for 20,000 credits last time. . As for how similar they are, that's left to imagination.

Anyway, there are no intellectual property rights in the apocalypse, just use whatever works best for you.

This Honghe X1 engine will be installed on Star Ring Trading’s newly developed transport ship. As Star Ring Trading’s first large-scale “transport purpose” spacecraft in the Earth-Moon system, it is also the first truly giant space ship. .

Theoretically, the performance of the Honghe X1 has reached the standard for a voyage to Mars, but the technical difficulties of the transport ship are not just the engine. Being held back by the designs of other departments, this transport ship, which was designed a year ago and is about to leave port, can only be used to carry out missions within the Earth-Moon system for the time being.

Star Ring Trading is still a newbie in terms of "shipbuilding" technology, and many things need to be learned through exploration.

Not even apocalyptic scientists can help them in this regard. Jiang Lin and other technicians from the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology focus on the engine area. Designing the entire spacecraft is not a task that can be completed by just one institute, not to mention that there are no ready-made drawings for reference.

Located in the dock in the gravity-free section of Star Ring City, a spacecraft about 600 meters long was parked quietly under dozens of mechanical arms. Under the command of the engineer, the Honghe X1 engine was connected to the empty slot at the tail of the spacecraft, completing the last step before its "launching".

Since it was designed according to the specifications of this spacecraft, the connection was quite smooth without any accidents.

"Perfect design...where did you get this thing?" Kerwin, standing next to Jiang Chen, couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the new ship's engine being connected to the warehouse.

However, Jiang Chen didn't answer his question, he just smiled and curled his lips.

This new ship is nominally a transport ship, but it can be converted to military purposes at any time as long as Star Ring trade requires it. It takes ten small transport ships to complete the deployment of the orbital airborne brigade. This giant ship can take the entire brigade in one go.

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't answer, Kerwin didn't ask ignorantly, but changed the topic to another direction.

"Speaking of which, our new ship hasn't been named yet. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"What is the tonnage of this ship?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Five million tons."

After closing his eyes and thinking carefully for a moment, Jiang Chen spoke.

"Fifty thousand tons... then let's call it the Seagull."

"The Seagull? Well, if you like."

Kerwin couldn't complain about Jiang Chen's naming skills. It was a historical precedent that a spaceship with such epoch-making significance was given such an ordinary name with no commemorative meaning at all.

However, seeing the satisfied look on his boss's face, he couldn't point it out, so he had to acquiesce in the name.

With the installation of the Seagull, the transportation capacity of Star Ring Trading in the Earth-Moon System has finally increased to more than 500,000 tons. The increase in transportation capacity has brought about a dramatic change in the development of space resources for Starlink Trading.

The one that can express this most intuitively is probably the lunar colony. Five hundred new immigrants took the Seagull and arrived on the surface of the moon together with the new ecological unit. With the arrival of new immigrants, the population of this outpost of the Star Ring trade colony on the moon has exceeded one thousand.

To celebrate this historic moment, Starring Trading held a press conference to share the good news with the world.

At the same time, we took this rare opportunity to announce two things.

The first thing is that the lunar colony will be renamed Guanghan City. Now it is worthy of this name.

As for another thing, Guanghan City will be open to individuals or institutions from all over the world, and companies are welcome to invest. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
