September 7 will be a day to celebrate for the Future People Group, and indeed for the entire Earth Defense Alliance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After more than a month of hard work, the shipyard of Future Heavy Industry was finally completed, just like the satellite city of Star Ring City, quietly floating in a synchronous orbit. From afar, the entire space station resembles two capital letters "U".

The entire space station will house 10,000 workers, 20,000 construction robots, and thousands of small shuttles, supported by giant robotic arms on either side of the shipyard, specializing in the production of ships of more than half a million tons.

With the completion of this shipyard, the construction of the first megaton warship of the Earth Fleet can finally begin.

The groundbreaking ceremony of the first battleship of the Earth Fleet will be held at the same time as the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the shipyard.

At this moment, in the middle of the shipyard, the invited guests of the member countries of the Earth Defense Alliance were crowded with people, forming a semi-arc human wall. In the center of the crowd, an old man in a strange costume stepped forward and stood still in front of a steel plate.

“…… May God bless us with glory and grant us victory......"

The bishop with the cross in his hand, in a compassionate voice, chanted an unknown scripture in a poetic tone, and stretched out his old finger to draw a cross on the cold steel.

This "blessed" steel plate will be installed on this battleship that is about to start construction.

When the blessing was over, applause erupted all around.

The plate was then transported by a trailer, and a second old man in a robe stepped forward, holding a cross with three horizontal logs, repeating the previous ritual......

Religious people were invited to participate in the ribbon-cutting of the shipyard to bless the first warship of the Earth Fleet, primarily to meet the requirements of certain countries. At first, it was Germany that first came forward, saying that it was a popular petition to ask a Catholic priest to bless the battleship.

Russia was a little unhappy when he heard it, why did you Catholics come to bless the Earth Fleet, and our Orthodox Church hasn't spoken yet!*** It's all said, without Orthodoxy, there would be no Russia. How will history be written? The Earth fleet, with the blessing of the God to the west, has defeated a powerful extraterrestrial civilization?

This must not allow you to blow for a hundred years!

Hua Guo said that it didn't matter, how could it be convenient to come, and put an end to extravagance and waste......

Seeing that the two major member states were in conflict, Jiang Chen hurriedly stood up to mediate, saying that there are so many steel plates on a battleship, there is no need for you to grab that one! Since they all want to recite the scriptures to this battleship, then they can't be finished by reciting together!

Fortunately, everyone is secularized, and it is still good to speak, and in the end, everyone simply recites the scriptures together.

So the Earth Defense Alliance Committee voted to approve a rule that as long as the member states applied for it, they could send the Divine Stick to recite the prayer to the first warship that had not yet begun construction. As for how history will be written at that time, everyone can write it as much as they want according to their own national conditions......

It is precisely for this reason that a large group of sub-gods joined the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Except for the Green Sect, which often explodes on the spot.

As for why they didn't invite the green teaching, it's not that no one invited them, it's mainly their own reasons. There is hardly a devout Green Cultist who would like to board the space elevator and kill them!

Standing on the rotating Star Ring will make them unable to find the direction of worship. Maybe just as he was about to kneel, the sun ran under his ass......

For these gods who chanted scriptures and blessed them, Jiang Chen didn't care, as long as he didn't carve a "visit here" on his shipyard, he could toss it as he wanted. The new kingdom pursued atheism while practicing a system of faith and self-reliance, and he himself was an out-and-out atheist, with neither piety nor reverence.

Perfunctory applause, Jiang Chen thought to himself.

God can't save the civilization of the earth, but I can, you might as well worship me more than God......

The ribbon-cutting ceremony soon came to an end.

As the executive officer of the Earth Defense Alliance, Jiang Chen stood in front of everyone and read out the executive's speech and the program of the Earth Fleet, which can be regarded as a perfect end to the entire groundbreaking ceremony.

In the thunderous applause, Jiang Chen nodded to the camera with a smile on his face, and walked off the makeshift podium, while also sighing in his heart.

It's a special one!

……

"The crew warmly reminds you that the Seagull will enter the orbit around the moon in five minutes, and friends walking around the cabin should return to their seats as soon as possible......"

Opening his eyes and turning his face sideways, Jiang Chen met his gaze with a pair of bright eyes.

"Are you awake?"

Looking at Jiang Chen, who woke up from his deep sleep, a smile bloomed on his cold and pretty face. Since half an hour ago, Xia Shiyu woke up, because she had nothing to do, she was stunned at Jiang Chen, who was sleeping next to her, but she didn't expect that this half an hour would pass in a while.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Jiang Chen yawned, sat up and stretched, and looked out the window.

"It's already there?"

"The crew said there were still ten minutes to ......" Looking at the moon near outside the window, Xia Shiyu felt girlish for a while, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's the first time I've been so close to the moon." ”

"You'll get closer in a moment, and you'll be standing on it. Jiang Chen smiled and quipped.

Because it is a state-class cabin, there are only two of them sitting in this compartment, not only decorated and lit cigarettes, but also the scenery outside the window can be admired. However, in the entire passenger cabin, it was loaded with a full 2,000 passengers, especially the ordinary cabin, which was still a little crowded.

Yesterday, after attending the party after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, he and Xia Shiyu boarded the flight to the moon non-stop.

Star Ring Trade now has a total of only four Seagull-class transports, one of which is returning from Mars, and one is serving in the Aerospace Defense Force, with only two flights a day between Star Ring City and Guanghan City. If you miss it, you'll have to wait another twelve hours.

After a total of ten hours, the Seagull finally entered the orbit around the moon after two orbit changes.

Standing here and looking at the moon, the entire city of Guanghan is like a bright silver medal, inlaid in the center of a large crater. Although this is not the first time that Jiang Chen has overlooked the whole picture of Guanghan City, this is also the first time that he has overlooked this incredible city directly through his own eyes.

If you sit in a regular cabin, you will be able to hear the exclamations of the passengers.

Of course, the premise is that he himself will not be treated as a giant panda......

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Xia Shiyu's eyes also shook with amazement.

As her gaze shifted from the colony to space, she spoke suddenly.

"Why don't we build a space elevator on the moon too?"

"Because the moon does not have a synchronous orbit," looking at the colonies that were getting closer and closer, the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth curved, "However, building an elevator to the orbit around the moon can be studied, the height of 200 kilometers is only one hundred and eighty times the geosynchronous orbit, and the amount of work will not be very large." ”

The gravitational pull of the Moon is only one-sixth that of the Earth, and the "Moon Elevator" requires much less strength of the cable than the "Space Elevator" that extends from the Earth's surface to a synchronous orbit. Not to mention the high-strength graphene materials mastered by the Future People Group, even the high-strength, high-heat-resistant composite fiber named "Chailong" developed by Japan can be used as a material for lunar elevators.

Japanese companies have also instigated Star Ring Trade more than once and wanted to contract the lunar elevator project of the lunar colony, but Jiang Chen ignored them at all.

Even if you want to build this elevator, it will be built by the future heavy industry, what do you have to do?

Xia Shiyu's words gave him a wake-up call, Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart, when he arrived in Guanghan City, he must carefully inspect the cargo throughput of the port and the number of floating population. If that's necessary, when you get back, let Kirwin set up a project for the lunar elevator.

The moon itself has very little gravitational pull and no atmosphere, so even without a synchronous orbit, spacecraft traveling from outer space to the lunar surface are not too troublesome. Vehicles of less than 100,000 tons can land directly on the surface of the moon, while transport ships of more than 100,000 tons can directly throw down the cargo holds.

That's right, just throw it down.

After the rectangular cargo compartment separated from the Seagull, two thin blue flames erupted from the bottom and landed in the direction of Guanghan City. There were a total of four cargo compartments that were thrown down together, of which only one was a passenger cabin, and the other three were cargo holds.

The passenger cabin landed steadily on the flat airport, and a closed escalator more than ten meters long and two people wide stretched out from the door, which was connected to the rectangular transfer station next to the airport. As the signal lights came on, passengers climbed onto the escalators and moved towards the transfer station.

There is an underground passage under the transfer station, and you can take the light rail directly to Guanghan City, which is two kilometers away.

Many people are coming to the moon for the first time, and when they pass through the escalator, they look around excitedly from time to time, take out their mobile phones and cameras to take pictures, and shout at the crater. The tour guides of each tour group calmly held up the flag and reminded everyone to fasten the magnetic belt and follow the group not to get separated.

The floor in Guanghan City is paved with alloy steel, and when you get off the spaceship, everyone can receive a magnetic belt, and for rookies who are not yet proficient in the essence of the moon step, it is the wisest choice to stay on the ground honestly.

After all the passengers had finished, Jiang Chen took Xia Shiyu's little hand and led her in the direction of the moon transfer station.

As the owner of the entire city, he certainly wouldn't crowd the light rail with ordinary travelers, and when he was on the Seagull, a lunar rover had already stopped at the transit station, waiting for his arrival.

On this lunar rover, which was the size of an armored car, Jiang Chen met with Tang Weijie, the former governor of the lunar colony and the current mayor of Guanghan City, as well as several other high-level administrators of Guanghan City.

"Welcome to the ...... of Jiang Dong and Mr. Xia to the lunar colony"

Xiang Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu bowed politely, and Tang Weijie said respectfully. (To be continued.) )
