Hearing Lin Ling use the word "cloud and mud" to describe the gap between the two sides, Jiang Chen didn't know what expression to use to face this fact. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, there was no sign of life on that spacecraft, and it had obviously been abandoned by its owner for a long time, at least there was no need to worry about being approached by a higher civilization. A colony ship from 20.5 light-years away is enough of a headache for him, and if you add an unfriendly neighbor, the game is simply unplayable.

Confused? At another point, he didn't understand why the spacecraft had been abandoned. If even strong interacting materials could be made, there should be nothing in this universe that could threaten them, at least in his opinion.

"Don't think about what you have or don't have, when that 100-kilogram ball arrives, remember to bring it to me. Lin Ling patted Jiang Chen's shoulder angrily, but Jiang Chen's hand was slapped away by Jiang Chen, and he was slapped with a white eye.

"Arrived? Do you think it's a courier? ”

He poked Lin Ling's forehead with his index finger angrily, and looked at Lin Ling squatting down with his forehead covered in relief, Jiang Chen ignored the disgruntled gaze and turned around and walked in the direction of the villa.

……

It took a month to get there, and it took about two months to get back.

Before the ball was brought back, any discussion about it was meaningless, and the matter about it was put aside by Jiang Chen for the time being. After the ball was brought back, he thought of a suitable reason to take it from the Star Ring Trade and Space Department and bring it to the end times for Lin Ling to study.

It's just that there is one thing, Jiang Chen still hasn't figured it out, since he can find that UFO, there is no reason why the government or institutions of this world can't find it. It stands to reason that the discovery of extraterrestrial civilizations should be a big event that can cause a sensation in the world, but he has never heard anything like this before the war on this side of the world.

In this regard, Lin Ling gave an explanation.

"Now that you've found this thing, are you going to talk nonsense all over there?"

After hearing Lin Ling's rhetorical question, Jiang Chen immediately reacted.

In other words, after he has the information of the extraterrestrial civilization, he will also treat it as if nothing had happened, and secretly study the doorway behind closed doors. Even if nothing can be studied, it will not be disclosed to scientific research institutions in other countries, let alone the media.

Don't even think about it, if the United States knows about the UFO, it will definitely jump out and shout that the opportunity to communicate with alien civilizations should belong to all mankind, and then ask the Star Ring Trade to send things to the research institute in Area 51. And when that time comes, even the friendly partners of the new country, China and Russia, will certainly euphemistically agree, except for the last point.

There is no real friendship between nations, and when necessary, even enemies can become brothers, and brothers and sisters can meet each other, as history has proven countless times.

He didn't stay long in the last days, only stayed for three days, and then Jiang Chen returned to the present world.

This time he returned from the end of the world, Jiang Chen did not come back empty-handed, and he also brought the Honghe X1 engine designed by the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute in his storage space.

This engine is similar to the Shuttle 07 engine designed by East Asia Heavy Industries for the Pan Asia Space Group Hailong transport ship, that is, the one that Jiang Chen bought back for 20,000 credits from the Moby Dick submarine research station last time. As for the extent of the similarity, it is left to imagination.

Anyway, there is no intellectual property right in the last days, so it's good to use it and how to use it.

The Red River X1 engine will be installed on the newly developed transport ship of Transwarp Trading, as the first large-scale "transport" spacecraft of Transwarp Trading in the Earth-Moon system, and the first space giant ship in the true sense.

Theoretically, the performance of the Red River X1 has reached the standard of sailing to Mars, but the technical difficulties of the transport ship are not only the engine. Delayed by other designs, this transport ship, which was completed a year ago and is now about to leave the port, can only be used for flight missions within the Earth-Moon system for the time being.

Transwarp Trade is still a newborn in "shipbuilding" technology, and many things need to be learned through exploration.

Even scientists from the end times can't help them in this regard. Jiang Lin and other technicians from the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology are mainly focusing on the field of engines, and designing the entire spacecraft is not a task that can be completed by a single research institute, not to mention that there are no ready-made drawings for reference.

Located in the dock of the gravity-free section of Star Ring City, a spaceship about six hundred meters long was quietly parked under dozens of robotic arms. Under the direction of the engineer, the Red River X1 engine was plugged into the empty slot at the tail of the spacecraft, completing the final step before it was "launched".

Since it was designed according to the specifications of this spacecraft, the access was quite smooth and there were no accidents.

"Perfectly designed...... Where did you get this thing?" Looking at the engine in the warehouse that was connected to the new ship, Kerrwin, who was standing next to Jiang Chen, couldn't help but sigh.

However, Jiang Chen didn't answer his question, just smiled and curled the corners of his mouth.

Nominally, the new ship is a transport, but it can be converted for military use at any time as long as the Ring Trade needs it. An orbital airborne brigade that requires ten small transports to deploy, and this giant ship can take the entire brigade with it at once.

Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't answer, Kerrwin didn't ask uninterestingly, but turned the topic in another direction.

"Speaking of which, we haven't named our new ship yet, do you have any good suggestions?"

"What is the tonnage of this ship?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Half a million tons. ”

After closing his eyes and thinking seriously for a moment, Jiang Chen spoke.

"500,000 tons...... Then call it the Seagull. ”

"Seagull? well, if you like it. ”

Kerrwyn was powerless to complain about Jiang Chen's naming technology, and the spacecraft with such epoch-making significance was actually installed with such an ordinary name with no commemorative significance at all, which can be regarded as a historical precedent.

However, seeing the boss's satisfied look, he couldn't point it out, so he had to acquiesce to the name.

With the installation of the Seagull, the capacity of Transwarp Trade in the Earth-Moon system has finally increased to more than 500,000 tons. The increase in transportation capacity has brought a leap change to the development of space resources in Transwarp Trade.

The most intuitive manifestation of this is probably the lunar colonies. Five hundred new immigrants arrived on the surface of the moon aboard the Seagull with a new type of eco-unit. With the arrival of new immigrants, the population of this outpost of the Ring Trade colonizing the moon has exceeded a thousand.

To celebrate this historic occasion, Transwarp Trade held a press conference to share the good news with the world.

At the same time, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, two things were announced.

First of all, the lunar colony will be renamed the city of Guanghan, which is now already worthy of the name.

As for the other thing, Guanghan City will be open to individuals or institutions from all over the world, and the majority of enterprises are welcome to come and invest. (To be continued.) )
