The modern world.
Under the command of the Celestial Trade Space Command Center, Stingray C-1s ejected from the launch port into the boundless starry sky and flew to the area tens of kilometers away.
It was a gigantic ring, and it was "parked" there. It remained relatively stationary with the Earth, found its balance point in the Earth-Moon system, and moved around the sun with the Earth-Moon system.
If one didn't look closely, the ring standing there would seem so small.
But if one got closer, one would discover that its size was so huge that the Seagull-class transport ship docked next to it was like a goldfish in a net, and the Stingray C-1s flying up and down around the ring were like mosquitoes around a street lamp.
It was a construction site.
The blue electric sparks connected into one, and hundreds of Stingray C-1s were working on it at the same time. Steel skeletons were welded together and outlined the outline of the giant ring gate.
According to Celestial Trade's plan for the "Stellar Highway Network", a total of four sets of stargates would be deployed between the Earth-Moon system and Mars, with two in each group, one positive and one negative, parallel to each other to form two parallel one-way roads. Two of the stargates were located in the Earth-Moon system and Mars, while the other two sets of stargates operated in the area between the Earth and Mars, as a "satellite" orbiting the sun in the solar system.
The neutrino emission frequency of these stargates was relatively low. Instead, they would have a higher emission intensity to expand the neutrino channel further, while avoiding interference with the teleportation portal connecting the apocalypse and the modern world at the same time.
Each stargate would be equipped with a Holy Shield module to defend against asteroid impacts from multiple angles.
It was conservatively estimated that when the neutrino channel was opened, the time to travel from the Earth-Moon system to Tiangong City would be reduced by at least 50%. And according to the development of spacecraft engine technology, this time would continue to shorten. Because according to the principle of time dilation in the neutrino channel, the faster one traveled, the more time there would be.
Not far away, a Seagull-class transport ship slowly left the port of Celestial City under the blessings of people from all countries.
In addition to the 500 crew members, there were 200 colonists standing on the ship. Carrying the future of Earth civilization, they would go to an unknown and barren land to expand the territory for the common civilization.
The destination of the flight was Europa.
The legendary planet covered by glaciers.
"What's that?"
"Stargate." The man looked at the ring outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and there was a hint of relief and fascination in his eyes. "Star System Highway Plan."
He was the governor of the Himalia colony, named Peng Wei, a Xin citizen who was voted by the Earth Defense Alliance. Although Hua and Russia wanted to get this quota, considering that only Celestial Trade had the talent in this area, they had to give up in the end.
Standing next to the man was a slightly younger man named Yu Dongyang. He was an astronaut from China and was also the manager of the Chinese colonists in the Himalia project. According to the different policies of each country, the role of the manager would also be slightly different. For example, this person mainly played the role of a political commissar.
After hearing such explosive news, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face. "Is it okay to tell me this kind of thing?"
"No problem." Peng Wei shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, "Anyway, we didn't intend to hide it from the beginning. As long as you find the right location, you can see it with the telescope."
As a senior executive of Celestial Trade, Peng Wei only heard a little about it. The technology of this stargate seemed to be related to the prehistoric technology excavated on Mars. Of course, these things involved confidential content. Of course, he would not talk more with Mr. Yu Dongyang.
…
"At 13: 40, Xin time, USS Columbus left the port of Celestial City and headed to the Jupiter system. Five hundred crew members and two hundred colonists on board said their final farewell to their loved ones on Earth through radio … "
On the TV, the scene of USS Columbus setting sail was shown.
The faint blue arc flickered, and the starship completed its acceleration. The last thing left for everyone was the blue dot that gradually merged into the starry sky. Sitting at the wooden table in front of the TV, Yao Yao and Xiaorou, dressed in pleasing swimsuits, served delicious breakfast.
The feast for the eyes gave Jiang Chen a sense of satisfaction as if he had just eaten his fill.
It was a cabin on Coconut Island, built according to the standard of a vacation villa. They had been living here these days. There was a kitchen, bedroom, shower, and an artificial hot spring built with stones in the backyard of the villa.
These facilities were built about a year ago and had always been prepared for the girls.
Because from the beginning, Jiang Chen decided to use this island as a node connecting the two worlds.
It had been a week since Sun Jiao and the girls first came to this world.
Over the past week, Jiang Chen mainly taught them some common sense of the world.
For example, killing was illegal, fighting was not allowed, trespassing into private residences was not allowed, and one had to pay for everything one bought. There were no predators or cannibal tribes here. Everyone was more reasonable and would not take out weapons to fight … If they really encountered a criminal, the police drone would be dispatched within ten seconds.
Most of these were for Sun Jiao and Xiaorou.
Only these two truly came from the wasteland.
Yao Yao and Lin Lin came from before the war in different ways.
After teaching them the basic knowledge, Jiang Chen introduced them to some things that everyone would know. For example, which countries in the world now, mobile phones, laptops, and other things that were mostly eliminated in the 22nd century.
TV was one of the ways to obtain information.
There was also the Phantom Helmet.
Now Sun Jiao finally didn't have to play solo in the local area network. Under her persuasion, Jiang Chen agreed to migrate her account data to Godly Land. However, when she discovered that there was an even more fun Galaxy Edge, she immediately abandoned Godly Land that she was already tired of playing with.
Breakfast was oatmeal milk and sandwiches with a lot of things, very healthy.
"Oh ~ what is that?!" Sun Jiao looked at the tower that extended all the way to Earth and the huge ring around the tower. Her beautiful eyes widened and she wanted to put her face in front of the TV to see it clearly.
Lin Lin bit the spoon, glanced at Sun Jiao, snorted, and said proudly.
"That's a space elevator, stupid."
Before the war, there were three space elevators – located in South Asia, near Somalia, and in South America. Lin Lin and Yao Yao were not unfamiliar with space elevators because this kind of thing was not rare before the war.
Originally, Lin Lin planned to show off in front of Sun Jiao, but soon, the latter shrunk her neck and raised her hand to surrender under the pressure of the former's malicious gaze. When she was swimming in the sea yesterday, Sun Jiao and Xiaorou mischievously stole her life buoy, causing her to struggle in the water for a while.
Lin Lin still had lingering fears about this incident.
Jiang Chen looked at the joyful scene at the table and the corners of his mouth curled up.
After breakfast, Jiang Chen gently put down the spoon, wiped his mouth, and after a moment of deliberation, he said the words he hesitated to say for a long time.
"Tomorrow, I plan to take you, um … to meet them."
