Chapter 1,148 Return to Earth

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed since Jiang Chen arrived in Guanghan City.

During these three days, under the reception of Guanghan City Mayor Tang Weijie, Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu visited the entire Guanghan City.

From lunar ice drilling wells, to lunar soil mining stations that collect helium 3, to nuclear fusion power stations that deliver electricity to half of Asia, and that wireless power transmission device covering an area of ​​hundreds of square meters, Jiang Chen’s plans for Guanghan City I finally have an intuitive understanding of the development situation.

Generally speaking, this is a large-scale mining area with mining as its main business and tourism as a supplement. It has complete mining facilities, ground transportation, power supply, communication dispatch, production management and living service facilities.

According to Tang Weijie, to fully exploit the potential of Guanghan City, at least 50,000 permanent residents are needed. Before the problem of living space is solved, the limit of Guanghan City's permanent population is almost this number.

To solve the problem of shield technology, it depends on how well the Holy Shield system in Wanghai City is repaired in the apocalypse.

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

It’s almost time to go back to the end of the world.

…

Under the collective farewell of the entire leadership team of Guanghan City, Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu boarded the return ship.

After returning to Halo City, the first thing he did was to convene experts from Futureman Heavy Industry and Halo Trade to hold a seminar on the issue of lunar elevators.

With a group of experts talking about it, the project plan for the lunar elevator was quickly finalized.

After confirming the feasibility of project implementation, Jiang Chen immediately called Kerwin and gave instructions on the matter.

With personal instructions from the boss, the lunar elevator project was quickly launched. Futureman Heavy Industries immediately sent engineers to Guanghan City for on-site inspection. The graphene factory in Anga Island Industrial Park ran its production capacity to the limit. The production capacity that had been idle due to the completion of the space elevator was put into operation again.

The entire lunar elevator has a total length of 200 kilometers and a budget of S$3.7 billion. The construction company is of course Future Heavy Industries, and it is expected to be delivered to Starring Trading in the first half of next year.

When Jiang Chen finished all the work at hand, it was already the 13th.

After staying in space for so long, he finally returned to the ground. When his feet stepped on the soft soil again, Jiang Chen felt a sense of long absence.

Seagulls soar in the sky,

Dolphins jumped out of the water from time to time, the warm sunshine shone on their faces, and the sea breeze blowing in front of them was filled with the fragrance of coconut... These ordinary things on the earth were particularly kind in his eyes at this moment. .

After taking a helicopter back to Koro Island, Jiang Chen went straight back home.

As early as three days ago, when he was dealing with the problem of the lunar elevator in Star Ring City, Xia Shiyu came back early. Today is a working day, and she should be working at the company at the moment. Natasha is probably not at home either. She goes to the Russian Embassy to "check in" from Monday to Friday.

In this case, there is only one person who can open the door for him at this moment...

When Jiang Chen knocked on the door of the villa, a beautiful figure threw herself into his arms.

After holding Aisha and spinning around in his arms, Jiang Chen smiled and stroked the slightly curly dark brown hair, looked at her pretty face and whispered softly.

"Miss me?"

Nodding vigorously, Ayesha buried her face in Jiang Chen's chest, and Xiaoqiong rubbed her nose against it, a happy smile blooming on her cold and pretty face.

Taking the suitcase from Jiang Chen's hand, Ayesha trotted upstairs.

After hanging his coat at the door, Jiang Chen went to the bathroom and took a hot shower. When he opened the bathroom door, a change of clothes was already placed in a plastic basket. Looking at the pile of father-in-law's neatly arranged clothes, Jiang Chen's lips curled up into a smile.

There is a smell of sunshine on the clothes, it must have been dried not long ago.

After putting on clean clothes, Jiang Chen wiped his hair with a towel and returned to the living room.

Looking at Ayesha sitting on the sofa in the living room, he sat down next to her.

"Did anything happen in the past few days while I was gone? Over there in Japan."

Aisha shook her head.

"The CIA has suspended espionage activities in Japan, and at least stopped contact with Japanese members of Congress. We are now basically in a state of truce with the CIA, although we don't know how long this situation will last... Speaking of which, why did you let us Pay attention to this man Joseph Kennedy? Is there anything special about him? If it’s just because he’s from the Boston Consortium—”

"Guess who I met in Guanghan City? I met Rocky," Jiang Chen said. "He came to talk to me about forming an alliance. He said that if Joseph Kennedy becomes president, they will invade Japan. Give it to us and join the Earth Defense Alliance."

"Have you promised him?" Ayesha looked at Jiang Chen and blinked.

"Of course not," Jiang Chen shrugged, "This piece of meat is too fat, I'm afraid I'll get tired of it."

No matter how you look at it, the Boston consortium's proposal can be regarded as quite generous. If there was any problem, I'm afraid the check they issued was too generous. It was so generous that Jiang Chen couldn't believe it.

Apparently, Ayesha had the same idea.

"At your command, we have begun an investigation into the circumstances of Joseph Kennedy."

"Who is in charge of the operation?"

"Bernice."

Jiang Chen nodded.

He had some impression of the name Bernice. She was one of the first batch of graduated agents like Zhu Yu, and she could be considered an old one among the ghost agents. With her in charge of this matter, nothing should go wrong.

Now the Earth Defense Alliance is on the right track, but there is still a long way to go before integrating global resources. The biggest obstacle is the United States, the overlord of the old world. As the leader of the world's largest military organization, as long as the United States still exists, the Earth Defense Alliance's sphere of influence can only remain in the Eastern Hemisphere.

But the trouble now is that both sides hold the switch to destroy the world.

Under such circumstances, both sides can only test each other beyond their respective bottom lines.

Although the two sides still maintain high-level economic and trade cooperation, signs of a cold war have quietly emerged. It would be fine if this balance could be maintained forever. If one day the delicate balance between the two parties is broken by one party, it is likely to slip into an abyss that neither party can bear.

If you want to ask who is most likely to be the first to break this balance.

Jiang Chen's answer is undoubtedly the United States.

This is not a butt problem, but a theoretical basis.

After all, they change presidents every four years!

Not to mention the vast differences in governance between the Democratic, Democratic, and Communist parties, there are all kinds of differences within the same party. If he chooses a lunatic who doesn't play by common sense, Jiang Chen is really not sure what the final result will be.

In this way, regardless of whether the promise of the Boston Group will be fulfilled or not, pushing Joseph Kennedy to the position of president is at least not a bad choice. After all, Futureman Group’s cooperation with the Boston Consortium is quite close in the two fields of seawater desalination and VR finance.

Of course, having said that, Jiang Chen would definitely not provide help to them without reservation.

Ghost agents in North America have already taken action to collect the dark history or clues about Joseph Kennedy. Jiang Chen believes that no politician has a clean butt. As long as he investigates deeply, he can always find something.

"I'm going back to the end of the world in a few days, so I'll leave it to you." Jiang Chen rubbed Aisha's hair.

Covering Jiang Chen's hand with her hand, Ayesha nodded meekly.

"Yeah." (To be continued.)
