Why did Celestial Trade do this?
Not only did the Russians not understand, but the Hua people were also confused.
"Himalia Colonization Prospects and Feasibility Study Report"
In Shangjing, the same document was placed in the hands of a man from Hua, who was almost in the same state of contemplation as Putin.
From the moment Lunar City was built, the Hua Aerospace Group was working hard to catch up and tried to shorten the technological gap with Future Heavy Industries. However, with the successive "launch" of the Seagull-class and Envoy-class, the researchers fighting on the front line felt not only powerless, but also hopeless.
The Himalia colonization plan could be completed by itself, but Celestial Trade's "generosity" surprised even its allies.
In this elegantly decorated office, a man in a military uniform repeatedly flipped through the documents for a long time.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
It was Wu Changfeng, the former Major General of the Hua Army, the Minister of the Second Division of the General Staff, and the current Hua representative of the Earth Defense Alliance Committee.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but the man in a military uniform always felt that Major General Wu was much younger than before.
Is it because of work?
It was said that work could rejuvenate people's youthful vitality. The man couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
He had been in this position for so many years and worried a lot for this country. He didn't look much younger, but his white hair did grow a little.
"Chief, are you looking for me?" Wu Changfeng asked after a military salute.
"The 'Space Colonization Summit' will be held in Celestial City on April 1st. You and Little Lu will attend this meeting on behalf of Hua. I just talked to Little Lu, and now I want to ask your opinion."
Little Lu was Lu Hao, another representative of Hua in the Earth Defense Alliance. He had the same rank as Wu Changfeng, but he was a Major General of the Navy.
After carefully organizing his words, Wu Changfeng replied cautiously.
"It's rare that Celestial Trade has already extended an olive branch. My suggestion is that we should try our best to ride on their coattails. From the perspective of Himalia's resources, as long as Celestial Trade can solve the transportation cost problem, we at least don't have to worry about the colonization of Himalia losing money. "
In fact, his real idea was that even if it was a losing deal, he should try his best to ride on the coattails. When one couldn't see the future development prospects clearly, the best choice was to follow behind those who understood. Forget about how much they could improve, at least wait until they could see the future clearly before being left far behind.
"Lu Hao's idea is more radical than yours. He thinks that even if he loses his pants, he still has to follow." The man smiled and said in a gentle but dignified voice.
Actually, that's what I mean too.
Wu Changfeng added in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
Until now, he still hadn't figured out the intentions of the people above him.
Not long ago, Celestial Trade defeated Hua's imaginary enemy, the UA. However, he did not feel any obvious joy from the senior executives. Instead, he felt incredibly calm.
Perhaps it was because of the complex sense of belonging. It wasn't until Celestial Trade and Future Group grew to this point that many people realized their negligence and what kind of monster they released. Now that the monster had devoured their enemies, what would it do next?
"I think so too," the man said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Wu Changfeng heaved a sigh of relief.
Since this person had nodded, there shouldn't be any problems.
After a pause, the man in a military uniform continued to speak.
"The development of aerospace technology is the general trend and the only way we can save ourselves. The crisis 20.5 light-years away is on the way, and it is likely to be at our doorstep. This is a challenge and an opportunity. "
"But I'm still a little unsure."
"I just gave Lu Hao a task. Now I'll repeat it to you."
"If you want people, give me money. You can rest assured and talk to Celestial Trade. I only have one request, and that is to plant our flag on the land of Himalia. I very much agree with participating in the Himalia colonization plan."
"But, you have to pay attention to one thing for me."
"I always feel that Celestial Trade is hiding something from us."
When Wu Changfeng heard this, he was slightly taken aback and hesitated.
"Are you worried that Celestial Trade will harm us?"
The man did not answer and just stared into Wu Changfeng's eyes.
After a long time, he slowly said.
"This is the task I'm giving you."
…
In the deep and gloomy deep space, a shuttle-shaped survey ship slowly approached the dead planet.
Long before the outbreak of the Xin-UA War, the Himalia colonization plan had just started. This survey ship set off from Celestial City and brought more than 20 colonists and colonial units to Himalia to establish an outpost of human civilization on Jupiter.
From the sky, this planet was more beautiful than imagined.
The hydrocarbons that stretched for more than 620 miles were like clusters of cotton balls that became a veil covering the planet. A huge clear lake dotted the south pole of Himalia. This lake was larger than Lake Ontario in North America. From a distance, it looked like a sea. Under the chaotic atmosphere, it exuded a faint blue halo.
Her index finger gently touched the transparent space window, and the beautiful planet was reflected in the pupils of the black-haired female astronaut. It was probably the first time that humans looked down at this place from such a close distance, not through the lens of a detector or an astronomical telescope.
"So beautiful … Is this the sea of Himalia?" She stared blankly for a long time, then softly exclaimed.
"The sea of minus two hundred degrees, although it is flowing, it is definitely not water, but liquid methane or ethane." An astronaut in his thirties or forties walked next to her, holding a helmet in his hand, and also cast a fascinated look at the planet. "This place will become an outpost of human civilization to explore Jupiter, and we are fortunate to write history."
With that, he patted her shoulder.
"Get ready to land, go to the hibernation cabin."
As the survey ship gradually slowed down, it finally entered Himalia's orbit.
Three probes were dropped from the spacecraft and fell to the surface of Himalia.
"The acceleration of gravity is 0.062 meters per second to the power."
"The atmospheric data survey is completed. The nitrogen composition is 94%, and the methane composition is …"
"The surface temperature is minus 180 degrees Celsius."
"The third probe has landed successfully."
"The analysis of the best landing point is completed, and guidance is in progress …"
Everyone had already laid in the hibernation cabin and closed their eyes. The survey ship circled Himalia three and a half times, then dropped the colonial unit located in the front half of the hull and fell into the thin atmosphere.
There was no oxygen, and naturally, there were no brilliant sparks.
The colonial unit slammed into the ground and splashed up a cloud of dust.
In the Celestial City Space Command Center 700 million kilometers away, people stood up and cheered as they celebrated the advancement of the boundaries of human civilization by several astronomical units.
Perhaps it would not take long for human civilization to reach the Type II civilization on the Kardashev level – the so-called stellar civilization.
By then, humans would dominate the entire solar system.
