Earth, Wenchang Space Launch Base.

With the quiet and powerful command sound in the command hall, on the launch pad, thick tail flames and smoke erupted from the bottom of the huge milky white rocket, rising from the ground in the rumbling roar and flying into the vast blue sky.

"Well, it looks like it's going very well!"

On the lawn in the distance, an elegant and charming voice sounded: "From now on, we will never lose any country or organization in this field." ”

It was a tall and plump woman in sunglasses, only revealing a beautiful chin and lustrous cherry lips, a white dress like snow, a slight gloss on the snow greasy ivory-like skin, and a faint aura of majesty, leaning lazily on the chaise longue, jade holding a jar of juice in her hand and tasting it comfortably.

A pink-carved, adorable boy was sitting on her lap, fiddling with a high-powered telescope in his hand, his big black eyes full of concentration.

"Yes, Lanlan, with this super rocket, our own large-scale space station project will soon be launched. Xie Xuan's voice sounded with a little emotion.

"Hehe, not only the space station, but also the manned lunar landing project should also be officially approved, as well as the exploration project of Venus and Mars, and the launch plan of unmanned probes around the solar system, you can all consider it! Let that group of foreign adults follow behind and eat ashes!" Zhao Xinglan stretched gracefully and pinched her brother's face dotingly.

The Long March 9 rocket that has just been launched is Huaguo, which has been established as early as around 2015 and is expected to make its first flight in 2030.

However, after obtaining the thousands of new alloy formulas, Huaguo's research progress in many fields has been greatly accelerated, so this super rocket came out five years ahead of schedule, and the performance of various key indicators is significantly better than the original design target, surpassing the new generation of "Falcon" series heavy rockets in the United States.

Affected by this, China's top management has approved the construction of a large-scale space station of 2,000 tons in advance, which is more than four times larger than the famous International Space Station.

Thanks to a number of new technologies, the rocket's reliability is so high that today's first launch carried one of the station's core experimental modules. When the Saturn V rocket of the United States people flew test, it carried more than 100 tons of pure water because it did not have a suitable load.

"With this big guy, we will be Blue Star NO.1 in the aerospace field in the future, and we no longer need to 'cooperate' with those foreign adults. Yu Menghua next to him said with a smile.

"Of course, our country will inevitably realize the dream of a sea of stars sooner, there is no doubt about it. Zhao Xinglan said lightly.

Now in June 2025, the expected comprehensive upgrade plan of the national intelligent industry has been overcompleted, making the gap between the scientific and technological level of China and the European and American powers basically a thing of the past, and quite a few key areas have reached the level of keeping pace with or even surpassing, such as new materials, new energy, biological gene technology, etc.

Moreover, due to Huaguo's huge advantages in capital and human resources, Western countries have no hope of catching up again, and Zhao Xinglan is even more unlikely to give them such a chance.

Just a few months ago, the first-generation aerospace aircraft had completed engineering research and development and was officially put into use, while similar products of the United States were still in test flights, and the progress of Europe and Russia was even slower.

Perhaps in another two years, the manned landing project on Mars can begin to consider the project. With her behind-the-scenes technical support, achieving these goals is a no-brainer.

“…… Anyway, this is a technological product that originally existed on Earth, not something foreign, and it is not a violation of the relevant regulations of the Star Sea countries. Zhao Xinglan pondered this more than once in her heart.

Some of the scientific and technological products left over from the civilization of the last era, the national authorities have unearthed and repaired a lot through various means, but they are limited to the level of industrial science and technology and cannot be completely copied and reproduced.

She now has a vast interstellar empire, tens of thousands of advanced warships. The Mothership of Doom, which used to be a killer weapon, now looks like it's just an ordinary toy, and it doesn't matter if you have it or not.

The intelligent center of the Mothership of Destruction still retains a considerable amount of scientific and technological information, and if it is obtained and successfully inherited by the Chinese government, and Zhao Xinglan provides some key mineral raw materials, it will not be a problem to completely crush Europe and the United States in terms of space technology.

The women chatted on the lawn for a while, and the news of the successful orbit of the core experimental module of the space station came unexpectedly, and the remaining many cabins and intelligent robotic arms will all be launched and assembled in the next three years, when Huaguo will have a stable large-scale scientific experiment base and space factory in low earth orbit, and many key scientific experiments, special materials and equipment parts can be completed here.

"Alright, let's go back to lunch, and then go somewhere else. Zhao Xinglan Yingying got up and said.

The bodyguards came over to quickly put away the parasols and reclining chairs on the field, and the women walked out of the lawn to the side of the road, and the black extended luxury RV drove in front of them.

Zhao Xinglan also bought a mansion and villa here, and the chef and waiter team followed, so it didn't take long to go back to prepare a sumptuous luncheon.

"Sister, how long can you stay when you come back this time?" At the dinner table, Zhao Zining said a little uneasily.

"About two or three months, what's wrong?" Zhao Xinglan asked with a smile.

The younger sister looked at her, her pretty face was slightly red, or Yu Menghua next to her opened her mouth to explain the reason, her marriage date with Zhang Yan has been set, just a month later, and her mother Xiao Chenxue also agreed. So she hopes that Zhao Xinglan will be able to attend the wedding with her mother at that time.

"Well, that's no problem. Zhao Xinglan said.

Now that my sister's lifelong happiness has been settled, perhaps I can consider taking out 1% of the shares of Xinglan Group as her wedding gift.

Yun Zhihuan looked at her and whispered: "Qin Yuanjun's kid just sent a message, saying that he is already on the special plane, and it is estimated that he will land in two hours, what are you going to do?"

"He's coming, so let him come. ”

Zhao Xinglan sighed, she had been away for more than a year, she thought that this guy would find a new love, but she never thought that he was also brainless, and he had always been single.

With the status and influence of the Qin family, there was naturally no shortage of stunning beauties from all walks of life who took the initiative to show favor to him, but unfortunately he was not moved at all, and now after learning the news of his return from the Star Sea World, he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed over.

It's just that as Zhao Xinglan's status gets higher and higher, the possibility between the two basically no longer exists, at most he is just a confidant.

"Speaking of which, after staying in Xinghai World for so long, I have eaten a lot of good things, but I still feel that the food in my hometown is more appetizing. Ji Meng took a sip of the shark fin soup in the bowl and quietly changed the topic.

"Yes, I think so, too. ”

The ivory chopsticks in Zhao Xinglan's hand picked up a ball of tender lobster meat dipped in mustard, and sent it into the sandalwood mouth with an elegant demeanor.

"The next time you leave, consider taking a few chefs with you. ”

Xie Xuan smiled and said: "I'll take care of it, I promise to arrange it for you, they are all special chefs who can handle the state banquet, and the ingredients can also be prepared and brought over." ”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Zhao Xinglan agreed without pretentiousness.

Since Zhao Xinglan left Earth, this sister's status and position have also changed, and she has become a special commissioner on behalf of the Chinese government, responsible for coordinating all matters related to her, with the rank of lieutenant general.

After all, Zhao Xinglan's status is different now, sitting on an interstellar empire, and his identity is far better than those heads of state on the earth, so the Hua side is quite cautious when dealing with it. In view of Xie Xuan's close relationship with Zhao Xinglan in the past, this important mission fell on her without any suspense.

Zhao Xinglan is not resistant to secretly helping the mother country develop various black technologies. Despite the strict rules in place, the rules are dead and people are alive. As long as she wants, she can find some way to get around.

"By the way, how exactly is the Talanye Federation calculated?, are you really going to fight again?" Xie Xuan asked again.

After the last fiasco, after many rounds of quarrels, the top level of the federation finally reluctantly agreed to negotiate an armistice with Zhao Xinglan. But because her asking price was too high, an armistice was never reached.

Of course, Zhao Xinglan didn't care much, but kept expanding the fleet and the ability legion according to the established plan, and the blade commanders produced by the mother emperor were also constantly increasing, just waiting for the military strength to reach the planned scale, and then he could start the war again and destroy the federal country in one fell swoop.

The Talanye Federation is also aware of this, so it is also stepping up preparations for war, and the entire country's industrial production system has entered a wartime state, and a large number of warships are assembled every day and delivered off the production line to the military.

Moreover, the Federation also sent envoys to move around, promising all kinds of conditions to cooperate vertically and horizontally, trying to win over those surrounding countries and power organizations to form an alliance against the empire. Of course, in the eyes of the top of the Federation, it would be better if these countries could join forces with them to dismember and annex the empire.

It's just that in Zhao Xinglan's eyes, the winner of this arms race is destined to be no one else. I am afraid that you have to be at least a fourth-level interstellar civilization to have this qualification, and even a federation that does not enter the stream also wants to play with you, but I am afraid that I don't know how to die in the end.
