Chapter 1,428 The Edge of the Solar System!

Good news comes from the distant Kuiper Belt.

After more than half a year of sailing, Earth's civilization's first Envoy-class starship, the Origin, spanned nearly thirty astronomical units and finally arrived at the frontier of the solar system, the Kuiper Belt. (There is also a hypothesis that the boundary of the solar system is the Oort cloud)

Even light would take more than four hours to travel such a long distance.

Driving a million-ton starship to the Kuiper Belt will definitely be regarded as a feat in the history of manned spaceflight and will be recorded in the history of earth civilization.

However, for Star Ring Trading, which has won countless "firsts", the number of such titles is almost numbing. Unlike those astronauts and officers from all over the world, those on the Origin are from new countries...

Well, it's actually no different. After all, I have personally pushed the wheel of history. Even the crew members from the new country are quite excited.

The day before arriving in the Kuiper Belt, they took out champagne from the refrigerator, roasted chicken from the oven, and held a celebration party in the mess hall until late, rarely following the ship's strict schedule. Time to rest.

However, when we got up the next day, everyone walked to their posts in high spirits, without any signs of listlessness, failure to wake up, or dozing off. Because they know very well that today is an important day. Our compatriots thirty astronomical units away are eagerly waiting for their news.

Everyone has an opportunity to be interviewed.

Everyone hopes that what appears in front of the camera is a perfect version of themselves.

After completing the final deceleration step, the Origin, which was running smoothly along the edge of the Kuiper Belt, unfolded the quantum communication antenna on the top and made contact with the Space Command Center of Star Ring City. This great scene was presented to the media around the world. in front of.

"Ice cubes, ice cubes, ice cubes! As observed, the water resources here are quite abundant! Unless you have seen it with your own eyes, you will never imagine that a lump of ice cubes that is almost as big as the moon is floating in front of you. Next to it! Speaking of which, these are all ices from the birth of the solar system. If the gamma value is okay, I will definitely have a drink."

"Not just ice, but also a large number of asteroids. The minerality is unknown for the time being. Our exploration robot has just landed on one of the asteroids. Ideally, we can use the ores here to build outposts, docks, and even fortresses. ! No matter where our guests are coming from, they have to slow down here if they don’t want to pass us."

"Look over there! Look in the direction I'm pointing! Well, you may not be able to see it. We will make the video public in two days. In short, just half a minute ago, our detector planted the flag of the Earth Defense Alliance on On that asteroid!"

As the camera switched, people of different nationalities, skin colors, cultures, and beliefs appeared in front of the camera one after another, sharing their joy and wonder at this moment with the distant blue planet.

All the emotions spread along the radio to all corners of the world, and in the eyes of people watching in front of the TV, in addition to the joy and wonder, they also had beautiful visions and imagination for the future.

Once upon a time, they were so desperate after hearing the news of the invasion of the Harmonious Civilization. Some people even sell their cars and houses, even taking on huge loans, just to buy a boat ticket to an unknown destination from various "escape funds".

"The flag of the Earth Defense Alliance is flying at the border of the solar system, and the Chinese captain speaks to the world on behalf of the crew..." "Xinhua News Agency"

"The door to a new era has been opened, and our civilization is moving towards a great era!" "Moscow News"

“The development of space technology has transformed space travel from an unreachable word into a norm. From the earliest space elevators to the current Envoy-class starships, our scope of activities has also expanded from the moon to Mars, and now to the Kuiper Belt. What is there that we cannot conquer? Human creativity has destined us to stand at the top of the food chain.

And one day in the future, we will also stand at the top of the ecological chain of the universe..." "Xinguo Daily"

Not only the media of the Earth Defense Alliance member states, but also the British "Times" even awarded the phrase "Hope for All Mankind" to the Earth Defense Alliance.

You know, before this, most Western media regarded the Earth Defense Alliance as a scourge that would drive the Cold War in the new century. Even though there are occasional pertinent comments, such explicit words of praise are rare.

Not only the traditional media, but also the Internet media have overwhelming reports on the Origin, which has triggered extensive discussions around the world. According to Google search engine statistics, the search popularity of the two words "Origin" and "Earth Defense Alliance" have reached the top ten in the overall list in just 24 hours.

On the Starring Trading official website, in the column of Origin, the video transmitted back to the earth through quantum communication technology was first published here. In less than half an hour, the video was downloaded more than 100,000 times and appeared on major video websites around the world.

For example, on a certain video website, in the reprinted video of the Origin arriving in the Kuiper Belt, the barrage of lines passing by clearly expresses the enthusiasm of the audience...

"I will obey you if I don't even obey the old lady!"

"My mother asked me why I was kneeling to post barrages."

"Hang Cao! This star ring trade is simply amazing!"

"What kind of star ring trade! This time it's the Earth Defense Alliance! Everyone has a share in the more than twenty member states, and it's not the credit of any one company!"

"Come on, without the Star Ring trade, how can they send so many people to the Kuiper Belt? Not to mention more than twenty member states, what will happen even if there are twenty more? Without further ado, we will Not to mention the Kuiper belt, without the Halo trade, if they can send people to Mars, I lose!"

"In my lifetime, the plot of the Galaxy's Edge prequel will actually be revealed"

"I also want to drink the water from five billion years ago. Will drinking it evolve any special functions? For example, the force of the universe or something! XD"

…

When Jiang Chen returned to the present world, it was already mid-December.

It took a whole month to spend a leisurely month with Sun Jiao, Yao Yao, Xiaorou and Lin Ling. It was precisely because of this that he unfortunately missed this world-famous event. He only learned from the newspaper cut by Aisha that the Origin successfully reached the edge of the solar system, causing a global sensation.

Just when Jiang Chen returned to the present world, the US election campaign also entered the most intense and intense sprint phase.

After countless TV debates and campaign speeches, the two battle-hardened candidates finally stood on the final stage. This election will determine the fate of America and, to a certain extent, the fate of the world.

Left or right? Forward or backward?

Regarding these two issues, the American people have been thinking about these two issues for a whole year...
