On the streets of Hanjing, every day is just dawning.

Xu Hong got up early in the morning today, in Hanjing in March, the weather was cold, riding the racing Jiangnan brand bicycle, speeding on the streets of Hanjing, but it was very interesting.

"I should be able to buy Purple Monroe today."

The streets ahead are not too congested, and this is because the city of Hankyung has started an urban renewal project.

Fifty per cent of buses have been cancelled and replaced by public flyways in the air.

More than 40 meters away from Xu Hong's head is a public flying lane, and at this time, a public flying car is driving into the station 10 meters above the ground.

The station is built on the back of a building, and it is as large as an extra window sill.

Passengers can get to the station in the shortest possible time through a high-power 50-person high-speed elevator, and then board the train in an orderly manner.

From entering the station and waiting for the bus to enter the station, to the time the bus starts to move to the next station, the whole process is extremely short, faster than a bus.

"It's so convenient to fly!"

Taking advantage of the effort of waiting for the traffic light, Xu Hong watched the huge public flying car take off from the 10-meter platform, and then drove into the 40-meter-high air lane, quickly moving away, feeling so comfortable.

Hanjing in front of you is lined with hundred-meter-high buildings, and flying cars are no longer a rare means of transportation.

There are two most common types of speeds, public and private.

At present, the production of flying cars is still relatively limited, and public flying cars are mainly used as means of transportation and freight transportation, while private flying cars are purely private goods.

However, due to the limited production volume, private flying cars are not something that can be bought with money, and personal credit points are deducted.

Credits are a new virtual currency that has been reformed from the Imperial Points that the Empire once enacted.

Unlike publicly issued currencies, credits are an evolutionary product of points, which are approved and issued by the Imperial Credit Administration, a subordinate body of the Imperial Supreme Power Council.

Many early years' points, such as military merit points, social points, education points, scientific research points, etc., have been converted into credits.

People call this credit a credit coin.

Credits can be used directly as currency, the official price of the Empire has a 24-hour floating price, and the credits cannot be traded privately but can be repurchased by the Empire.

In addition to being directly converted into a common currency, credits can also be used as a priority when purchasing some scarce items.

For example, the flying car, at present, the production of the flying car produced by the two companies of Shusheng Company and Imperial Flying Car Company is still limited, and it is not enough to meet the needs of the government and the military based on public and military aspects, and to put some goods into the social circulation channels.

As a result, credit purchases, and credit points to deduct part of the payment, have become the purchase threshold.

As a result, a strange phenomenon arose, many wealthy people could not buy flying cars, but some teachers, scholars, and even veterans of the army, or even a farmer, after checking the price, happily bought back a flying car bound to individuals.

That's where credit comes in.

Not only flying cars, but also other aspects of the situation, some very advanced and scarce products, unified by credit points to set the threshold.

More and more people are discovering that in the Empire, being rich does not necessarily mean that you can live better than everyone else, and you can't do it without making a unique contribution to the Empire.

This is a strange phenomenon in which many businessmen even volunteer to donate money to earn credits, which is unacceptably unacceptable, but too many people are still eager to get it.

"When I have money, buy a flying car to drive myself, and then buy a flying car for Miaomiao...... If only I could join the Space Force like my big brother and earn some credits. I don't know how the eldest brother is doing, God bless safety. ”

Xu Hong was envious for a moment, thought about all the relatives and friends around him, and found that his eldest brother was a great person.

Because he is a soldier in the Imperial Space Force.

Although Xu Hong didn't even know the rank and inauguration unit of his eldest brother, this did not affect his admiration and expectations for his eldest brother. He just knew that his eldest brother had participated in the expeditionary fleet, and under the leadership of the chairman, the expedition had opened up a route.

Riding all the way, soon, Xu Hong came to the flower shop.

"Boss, the purple monroe I ordered yesterday has arrived."

"It's here, it's here, this is the purple monroe that just came back from the Avatar Star, boy, just these two, I'm afraid I'll use up all your pocket money."

The boss saw the change handed over by Xu Hong, and asked the clerk to wrap the flowers, a purple monrose flower, with petals like crescent moons, which are not produced on the earth, only Avatar stars.

It was two flowers, and Xu Hong spent all his savings.

As a junior, a considerable part of this is pocket money given by the eldest brother.

Carefully carrying the flower box, Xu Hong rushed back to school.

"Miaomiao, look, I bought you the purple monroe!"

Xu Hong saw Miaomiao waiting for him at the school gate from afar, a lovely girl with long hair and a long purple dress.

"It's so beautiful!"

Miaomiao was overjoyed to see that Xu Hong had really bought Zi Monluo for herself, but then, she did something that made Xu Hong stunned, "Zi Monro, who wants to buy Zi Monro, ......"

"Wonderful ......"

Xu Hong was surprised.

Miao Miao motioned for him not to speak, quickly sold the flowers, and handed him the money.

"I want your heart, not your money."

Xu Hong touched his head, knowing that Miaomiao accepted him, he was extremely moved, the two had just hugged each other, ready to kiss, but heard an aviation siren in the sky.

This kind of aviation siren is not a combat alarm, but only when the spacecraft fleet is about to enter the port.

"Now broadcast an urgent news: our great First Expeditionary Fleet has just arrived at the periphery of the Earth's capital star and is about to enter the port, repeat, our great First Expeditionary Fleet has just arrived at the periphery of the Earth's capital star and is about to enter the port, please pay attention to the ...... units"

With the sound of the radio, the television broadcasts on the street buildings, and even the 3D projection in the sky that follows, all begin to tell the story of the returning expeditionary fleet.

Huge 3D projections have projected images of the expeditionary fleet into the air, and millions of people can see it when they look up.

"Battleship, that's our expeditionary fleet!!

"Woo woo woo ......"

The siren sounded at the right time, not a combat alarm, but an ordinary exercise siren.

"Miaomiao, look, our fleet is back!"

"Wow! There are so many ships, it's incredible. ”

"Miaomiao, my eldest brother must be on it!"

Xu Hong was very excited, as if he had seen the big brother on the spaceship through the layers of sky.

The streets at the school gate were already full of students, everyone staring at the screen and projection in mid-air, waiting for the fleet.

It is well known that because the battleships are so large, once a spaceship formation enters the port of Hanjing, all the citizens only need to do one thing, raise their heads, and they can see the mighty ship group.

This time, too.

After all, the TV screen is not large enough, and the range of 3D projection is limited, and everyone wants to see the expeditionary fleet with their own eyes.

Xu Hong took Miaomiao, and the two of them, like hundreds of people around them, waited eagerly for the fleet to return, and these fleets were going to enter the Hanjing spaceport, because the chairman of the committee was in the fleet.

"It's coming! Look, it's coming!! Our expeditionary fleet is back. ”

Just as hundreds of years ago, when the ocean-going fleets returned during the Great Voyage and people welcomed them in the harbors, now, when the expeditionary fleets return, everyone stands at home, on the rooftops, on the streets, anywhere they can see the sky, and when they look up, they can see those huge ships.

With the cheers of the people, a huge spaceship first emerged from the clouds and appeared in the field of vision of tens of millions of Hanjing citizens.

Even at a height of tens of thousands of meters, on the premise of dispelling a large number of clouds, people successfully saw the huge two-thousand-meter-long battleship.

Then, one by one, the warships emerged from the clouds and formed a long line.

At this time, the live broadcast under the personal command of the Imperial Propaganda Department was also facing the world, and countless high-tech equipment aimed at the sky, capturing the most detailed pictures and simultaneously spreading them to any part of the world, even the United States, which was still struggling to survive.

Soon, the people of Hanjing discovered that more than 60 spaceships of various types had emerged from the clouds and filled almost the entire sky.

The black pressure makes people feel suffocated madness and excitement.

"When we went out, we only had more than 10 spaceships, why did we come back with more than 60?"

Xu Hong was extremely puzzled in his heart, and said to himself, and others quickly discovered this problem, and more and more people were discussing what was going on with these extra warships and spaceships.

Without waiting for them to guess, the next moment, whether it was the live broadcast screen, the picture on the street building, or the huge 3D projection screen in the air, the same person appeared.

A man wearing a black ordinary uniform of the Space Force, but the uniform is inlaid with dragon patterns, Zhang Shusheng, chairman of the Supreme Power Committee of the Chinese Empire.

"Compatriots of the Chinese Empire, 3 billion compatriots of the world:

I'm Zhang Shusheng, and I'm glad to be able to say a few words to you on the way home.

As you can see, we made it back with zero losses, which is a very remarkable fact. On the other hand, I can formally announce to all the compatriots of the Chinese Empire and the whole world that we have successfully completed the important task of opening up the shipping route.

It was a safe route to the alien realm, and we followed it all the way to the Nok Business Alliance, a sprawling nation also located in the southwest star field of the Milky Way.

There is no basis for the words, but the extra spaceships that you see now, including our 35 starships, 10 starcruisers, and other transport ships, are all bought by us with great difficulty.

These innumerable warships, powerful warships, will soon be incorporated into our Imperial Space Force to enrich our space combat power and improve our offensive and defensive capabilities.

As I have been telling you, perhaps our earth world is peaceful, but our universe is not peaceful.

Between civilizations, the competition is fierce, as big as a planet, as small as a trade, as you can see the video footage, our warships, many scarred, this is our enemy, on our navigation road to bring us trouble.

However, from today onwards, we will no longer be a verbal powerhouse without a fight, but an action powerhouse that can fight and defend.

I swear that we will use these warships to form our First Fleet of the Chinese Empire, a space fleet in the true sense of the word, which contains more than forty battleships, a large number of starcruisers and other ships, which will have the strength and be able to come to Earth and fight any enemy that appears before our eyes. ”

Zhang Shusheng paused slightly, and the picture cut back to the sky lined up with a group of ships nearly two hundred kilometers long, one group of ships was a battleship, and a group of ships was a transport ship.

The screen then cut back to him, and continued, "In addition to a large number of warships, we have also bought back a large number of goods, including a large number of various potions, a large number of virtual training and teaching equipment, high-precision production lines, flying car production lines, robot production lines, and even millions of ready-made robots, which can join our industrial production and army with just one command......

"Hooray! Banzai!! ”

Xu Hong felt that his voice was completely hoarse, but together with Miaomiao, he still kept shouting, shouting for the chairman's speech and for the return of the expeditionary fleet.

"Fellow citizens, these materials, which are filled with more than a dozen large spaceships, will be used to make more and more advanced goods, will directly provide biological and modified potions to hundreds of millions of people, and it will also expand our flying car production capacity and improve our robot manufacturing capacity......"

Zhang Shusheng's speech was not only full of incitement, but also really showed a beautiful picture for everyone.

According to him, the super-large batch of medicines brought back this time will be given priority to those students, the elderly, outstanding talents from all walks of life, and even many middle-aged people who have not undergone transformation after reasonable preparation.

The empire has a large population, and it is impossible to inject and transform the surname at one time, but it is achievable to plan step by step and eventually improve the physical fitness of all people and increase their lifespan.

And such as the production of flying cars will be greatly increased, robots will gradually enter the circulation channels as a large-scale industrialized self-produced commodity, and the Empire's own industrial equipment manufacturing capacity will also be greatly improved, and so on.

This series of gains, including economic, social, life, educational, scientific, and military, were brought back by these more than sixty spaceships.

In the teenth century, a fleet of ships could bring back goods that would drive a city crazy, whether they were ceramics, silk, tea, or other handicrafts.

Now, however, an expeditionary fleet is bringing back materials that can shake and excite the entire planet, and it is too much, and its quality is even more impressive than the quantity.

These are all bought back from the aliens by the Chairman, and the Chair will use them to develop and grow the strength of the Empire.

Until the fleet began to enter the huge Hankyung spaceport, which was already connected to the sea, the citizens were still cheering and celebrating.

"Miaomiao, I have a secret to tell you. I'm sorry, I've quietly signed up for the Space Force selection, and once passed, I may ......"

"Actually, I, I also signed up......"

Miaomiao held Xu Hong tightly, it was too much of a coincidence, one person applied for the service soldiers of the Space Force, and the other applied for the ordinary military posts of the Space Force, what they didn't know was that since then, they have embarked on a different path.

Xu Hong and Miaomiao, growing up in an era of universal yearning for space and the universe, they may be just a microcosm of the youth of the times, but what they embody is the dream of a cosmic power that is burning in the hearts of hundreds of millions of imperial youth.

And Zhang Shusheng's successful return this time brought back not only cargo, battleship spaceship, but also a huge hope! A cosmic dream that allows everyone to see the future.

They worked hard to build civilization because they wanted to make Chinese civilization stronger.

They yearn for space because they want to expand the territory of Chinese civilization.

Zhang Shusheng led them together to create a new era, but unlike them who were full of enthusiasm, Zhang Shusheng needed to consider how to make good use of so many things at hand.

What's more, the Empire also needs its own space warship factory.

When I got home, it was already noon.

Lu Yunyan, He Ning, Fu Huiyu, and Tangtai were all there, and even the people from the Sun family, the Lu family, the He family, and the Fu family also came, and they gathered together to welcome Zhang Shusheng home safely.

"Come, Shu Sheng, don't say anything, let's all toast you together! Dry! ”

Several old men, salute their son-in-law together and toast happily.

"Good!"

Zhang Shusheng also drank it happily, although his heart had been thinking about how to make good use of these materials since he returned to Earth.

Those machines should be distributed as quickly as possible.

Potions need to be dispensed to various places as quickly as possible.

The production line also needs to be installed as soon as possible, especially the robot production line with a monthly output of 20,000 robots, which is of relatively high value and must be put into production as soon as possible.

"Shu Sheng, there are no regrets about this trip, right? If not, don't go next time, everyone is worried about your trip. ”

Sun Changqing sighed and said, he dreamed several times that his godson's battleship was smashed and there was no corpse, of course, this is not easy to say, but he was really frightened.

"Regret? Of course! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shusheng stopped his wine glass.

"I'm still quite satisfied with other aspects, but I didn't find a way to get a warship production line, and I didn't buy other weapons and ammunition production lines, which should be the biggest regret of this trip."

Zhang Shusheng said regretfully, which can be regarded as a foreshadowing for his next departure.

There are too many things that the empire is missing, especially the production line of munitions, however, he is ready to redeem a little bit by himself, this voyage is not only the goods brought back, and the system will definitely reward a large number of points if he successfully opens up a route.

Moreover, the affairs of the United States should also be resolved, after the establishment of the First Fleet, the military strength is so strong that the Americans, who are dragging their feet, should also take them into the arms of the earth.
