On April 1st, the entire Celestial City was a lot livelier. Especially for the people living on this space station, there were many new faces. The Space Colonization Summit was not only a high-level diplomatic summit between countries, but also a grand event open to the entire society.
On this huge star ring, in the opposite corner of the space department headquarters, dozens of equipment designed by Future Heavy Industries for the Mars colony were displayed in a space station covering an area of more than ten acres. From the large colonial cabin to the ecological farm module unit, and even the "Digger Warrior" that broke the dome of Cheyenne Mountain, Celestial Trade fully demonstrated to the community how the colonists of Xin survived on the barren Mars, fought with Devil Worms, and used their wisdom to expand in the boundless space.
It was the first time that the equipment of the Mars colony was completely open. Before this, many details about the Mars colony were not open to the public. Only astronauts who registered their intention to migrate to the colony and signed a confidentiality agreement could obtain this information.
Now, people could not only take photos at close range, but they could even walk into the equipment that had been eliminated from the colony under the guidance of a tour guide and feel the charm of technology up close.
The main significance of this event was to eliminate most people's rejection of outer space immigration and the fear of being far away from home. It was not enough to rely on astronomy enthusiasts and people who could not survive on Earth for various reasons. In order to export the population to a wider territory, Celestial Trade needed to take the initiative to ignite the enthusiasm of the general public for colonization.
From the Galaxy Edge launched by Future Technology to the current Space Colonization Summit, they were all working towards this goal.
Walking in the corridor of the exhibition hall, two foreigners in suits and bow ties talked to each other while examining the spacecraft around them. From this Space Colonization Summit, they smelled business opportunities, and this exhibition to the whole society was undoubtedly a good opportunity to understand the prospects of foreign investment.
"I heard that Celestial Trade plans to rename the Mars colony Tiangong City?"
"Well, I've heard about it a long time ago. It is said that Celestial Trade submitted a written application to the Xin Congress last month, and it is now in the final approval stage. Once approved, Tiangong City will be the fourth municipality of Xin. "
The first three municipalities were Penglai City, Celestial City, and Lunar City. Once Tiangong City was incorporated into Xin, Xin would become the first country to expand its territory to Mars.
Look at Penglai City's initial population of less than 100,000 and its current scale.
It was unknown how many people were beating their chests and stamping their feet in regret for not being able to seize the development opportunities of Penglai City.
"How enviable … I wonder when we'll be able to see the day when our national flag is raised on land hundreds of millions of kilometers away." After putting down the phone, the tourist with a travel bag looked at the wall of colonial cabin photos and couldn't help but feel emotional.
The colony chamber on display was the first colony unit launched by Celestial Trade to Mars. It was mainly used to collect raw data for Mars colonization, and it was now eliminated by the new colony chamber. After it was sent to the geosynchronous orbit by the space elevator, it was recovered by the Seagull-class transport ship and brought back to Celestial City.
The photos on the wall recorded the development of the Mars colony. From the earliest isolated colonial unit to the current Tiangong City with steel plants, the Xin flag floating over the colony made countless foreign tourists envious.
Unlike investors, these tourists were more concerned about the colony's technology and the culture behind it.
…
"Welcome to Celestial City, Mr. Wu, we meet again."
Looking at Wu Changfeng, Jiang Chen extended his right hand with a smile.
"Long time no see, you've been busy lately?" Wu Changfeng shook Jiang Chen's hand, smiled, and let go.
"Have you seen it at the exhibition?"
"I just got off the plane and haven't had time to go."
"Really? If you have time, I recommend you take some time to go. " Jiang Chen smiled, and his voice suddenly lowered. "Are you still taking the telomere extension drug?"
Wu Changfeng was slightly stunned and nodded.
"Yes …"
Without saying anything, Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder, and then walked in the direction of the Saudi delegation.
Wu Changfeng looked at Jiang Chen's back with a complicated expression, and suddenly remembered the mission that the big shot personally assigned to him.
In fact, just now, for a split second, he wanted to sound him out. But for some reason, when Jiang Chen mentioned the DNA telomere extension drug, his position was shaken for two seconds.
"What's wrong with me."
Wu Changfeng muttered to himself, shook his head, left this strange feeling behind, and walked in the direction of the Hua Ambassador to Xin.
Yerif's appearance here was beyond Jiang Chen's expectation.
Because few Emmie would be willing to go to Celestial City, there was no clear boundary between day and night, and occasionally the sun would go under their feet. This undoubtedly made the pilgrimage more difficult, and Celestial City obviously wouldn't stop the rotating Celestial Ring because of the demands of a small number of people.
The new king standing here, from a certain perspective, had already expressed his position. This king would be more open-minded than the previous kings, and the future Saudi Arabia would gradually move from conservative to open under the leadership of this king.
The Arab world would usher in a secular reform.
It was difficult to say whether this was a blessing or a curse for Saudi Arabia.
But Jiang Chen was certain that it must be good for the entire world.
"Welcome."
"Haha, my old friend, let's not be so formal." Yerif laughed, opened his arms, and gave Jiang Chen a bear hug. "Although my minister suggested that I appoint a diplomat who can represent my opinion, I still decided to visit in person to express my gratitude!"
"Don't be so formal." Jiang Chen smiled. "An open and peaceful Middle East is an honor for the world. May Saudi Arabia become prosperous and strong under your leadership. "
"Using an old saying from China, I hope your words will be auspicious." Yerif laughed, then suddenly lowered his voice and raised his eyebrows at Jiang Chen. "By the way, do you still have the S1 kinetic skeleton for sale? I plan to purchase a batch. "
"Ahem, can we talk about this after the Space Colonization Summit?" Jiang Chen was speechless.
"That's true." Yerif nodded, then smiled and introduced the Middle Eastern man standing behind him. "Let me introduce, this is Nasser, the chairman of Aramco!"
"Nice to meet you." Nasser nodded humbly to Jiang Chen, extended his right hand, and said with a friendly smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jiang Chen. I have heard of your legend a long time ago. "
As the purse of the Saudi royal family, Aramco was also the world's largest oil and gas production company and the sixth largest oil refiner. It owned the world's largest onshore and offshore oil fields, and its business covered Saudi Arabia and the world.
Judging from Yerif's attitude toward this man, Nasser's status in Saudi Arabia should not be low.
The purpose of such an energy giant appearing here was naturally self-evident.
Jiang Chen could even assert that Nasser's mood was definitely not as calm as he appeared. Not only Saudi Aramco, but also ExxonMobil, Gazprom, PetroChina, and Royal Dutch Shell Group, which was not in the Earth Defense Alliance but was also invited.
Himalia's huge gas resources would reshuffle the originally stable energy landscape.
