The main axis area of the space elevator is the gravity-free section of the entire Star Ring City, and it is also the port area of the entire Star Ring City. Since the launch of the asteroid mining program www.biquge.info countless small and medium-sized transport ships have been seen waiting at the berths every day, waiting for the robotic arm to load and unload the ore in the container.

In addition to the transports that carry minerals, a cuboid-shaped passenger ship can occasionally be seen floating out of the transit station and heading towards the moon. Since Transwarp Trade announced the opening of the Earth-Moon flight, the people-to-people exchanges between the Earth and Guanghan City have been activated.

Now the scale of the entire city of Guanghan is no longer what it used to be, and the living units surround the central square, connected to each other by graphene pipes, and sit on the surface of the moon. Nearly 10,000 people live here, and the vast majority of them are young and middle-aged workers with higher education.

In order to meet the needs of the public, Transwarp Trade has also built municipal facilities such as primary schools, junior high schools, high schools, community colleges, hospitals, police offices, etc., around the central square, and has openly tendered the construction of hotels, bars, cafes, dance halls, playgrounds and other entertainment facilities.

In addition to the permanent population, there are at least 4,000 daily visitors between Guanghan and Star Ring, including immigrants to the moon, pure tourists, or investors looking for opportunities.

Electrolysis chambers and lunar ice drilling wells have sprung up to supply the colony with a steady stream of oxygen and hydrogen, as well as twisting arm rare earth mining stations and helium-3 lunar soil refineries that have supported the city's industry and economy.

Sixty percent of the world's iron and aluminum ores and 80 percent of the rare earth mines are maintained on this 36,000-kilometer elevator.

It is precisely for this reason that the 50 percent defense tax will make the capitalists of the Western Hemisphere suffer so much.

The knife literally cut them in the chest, and it made them bear the stigma of cowards......

Standing in the elevator cabin of the space elevator, Wu Changfeng stood quietly by the window, looking out the window at the huge ship with a pitch-black body.

"Seagull", the name will be familiar to anyone. Powered by the Red River X1 engine, named by Jiang Chen himself, it is the first 500,000-ton giant ship of Star Ring Trade and the first interstellar giant ship in the true sense of the earth's civilization. Since then, the 500,000-ton giant ships of Transwarp Trade, whether they are transports or warships, have been named after the Seagull-class.

The six-hundred-meter-long hull is connected by a cantilever and an elevator shaft, and from a distance it looks so big that the spacecraft passing through it is as insignificant as duckweed ants.

In Wu Changfeng's eyes, the scale of this Seagull-class transport ship is already large enough, and at least three "Liaoning" must be connected to each other in order to be comparable to it in length. However, even a mighty ship cannot act as the main force in the battle against a harmonious civilization?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a touch of worry about the future of the earth's civilization.

What kind of enemy are we facing?

"What are you looking at?" Walking next to him, Lu Wei smiled and said.

Lu Wei, former captain of the destroyer Nanning, with the rank of admiral, is the representative of the Chinese side along with Wu Changfeng.

Hearing his colleague talking to him, Wu Changfeng turned around and was about to say something, but when his eyes fell on his arm, the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back.

As if guessing the meaning in Wu Changfeng's eyes, Lu Wei sighed, helplessly rolled up his sleeves, and showed him the eye of the needle on his arm.

"You hit it too?" Wu Changfeng raised his eyebrows, there was no expression on his face, but the vigilance in his heart gradually relaxed.

"Do you think they'll let us go so easily if I don't give injections?" Lu Wei reluctantly folded his sleeves.

Wu Changfeng frowned slightly, and quickly understood what he meant.

A smile erupted from his unsmiling face, and he whispered.

"We haven't heard of any DNA telomere-modifying serums, and we haven't injected anything."

"Of course, you're not going to write that thing down in the report, are you?" Lu Wei smiled and shook his head, "I'm not that stupid, it's obvious that it will cause us trouble." ”

Wu Changfeng nodded.

Hua Guo has two seats on the Earth Defense Alliance committee, and what he was most worried about before was that he had concealed the "serum" situation, and Lu Wei handed it over to the state.

In this way, you will undoubtedly lose the trust of the organization, and even cause the displeasure of some big people. With the current influence of the country on the Earth Defense Alliance, he may be removed from his current position.

But now it seems that his worries are unfounded.

No one can resist the temptation of "immortality", especially people like them.

"Do you think we have any hope of winning this war?" Looking at the Seagull-class transport ship outside the window, Lu Weiyu smacked his lips and said.

Glancing at his colleagues, Wu Changfeng said lightly, "I have no doubt that we will win in the end." ”

"General Wu is worthy of politics. The committee was born, and the chat is so level," Lu Wei laughed dryly.

Wu Changfeng raised his eyebrows, and just wanted to say, "It's not a soldier's job to worry about what happens after the defeat", but when this sentence came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.

If it was before, he could say this sentence as a soldier without any scruples. With the short life of a human being, even in his entire life, he would not see the day when he would be at war with extraterrestrial civilizations. Now, however, his lifespan has been extended by more than 80 years, and if technological progress continues, his lifespan may continue to be extended.

On the day of the decisive battle of the apocalypse, it seemed that they did not have the opportunity to see it with their own eyes......

"In your opinion, what are our odds of winning?" Wu Changfeng asked.

"Less than 30 percent."

"Oh?" Wu Changfeng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "There are still three percent?" ”

"Maybe it's an occupational disease," Lu Wei shrugged, "Now that the Earth Defense Alliance has shown signs of giant ship artillery, this worries me. ”

"So what route should we take, in your opinion?" Wu Changfeng asked.

Lu Wei smiled, "Don't forget that I used to be on a destroyer, so I naturally prefer the aircraft carrier battle group doctrine." Divide the battlefield with highly maneuverable destroyers, and then the aircraft carrier will send carrier-based aircraft to attack the opponent's weak points......"

"What if the guns of our 'destroyers' are not enough to break through the opponent's defenses?" Wu Changfeng said sharply.

Lu Wei opened his mouth, and after being silent for a long time, he said helplessly, "So, we are all laymen." ”

The doctrine of the modern navy can be used as a theoretical basis for the operation of the future Starfleet, but after all, the sea and the universe are two completely different fields, and everything is still in the groping stage.

"I'm optimistic about you." Wu Changfeng patted Lu Wei on the shoulder and grinned, "If you want to choose a fleet commander at that time, I will vote for you." ”

"Haha, then I'll thank you in advance."

The space elevator gradually approached the gravity-free section, and the silhouette of the Seagull also went from a distant silhouette to a close position.

However, at this moment, Wu Changfeng suddenly noticed that between the "bridge" between the Seagull and the space elevator, a team of soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons was boarding the ship.

"What are they doing?" Wu Changfeng frowned.

Taking two steps forward, the tip of my nose almost touched the window. Looking at the bridge between the Seagull and the space elevator, Lu Wei also frowned.

"Orbital Airborne Troops? Is it a military exercise? I remember that Transwarp Trade shouldn't have fought with any country recently......"

As he spoke, the transport pod carrying the soldiers had been sent into the Seagull. The Seagull's mechanical arm separates from the hull, and the engine in the tail begins to ignite, pushing the massive hull slowly outward.

Just as the two of them were wondering where the transport ship would go, the elevator they were riding in entered the orbit of the space elevator, and they could only watch as Star Ring City and the Seagull accelerated away with their backs to them...... (To be continued.) )
