Chapter 48: The Spaceport
Lian Xiulin was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, Xin Lian, it's easy if you agree." Then he said: "Because the organizer requires that the participants must be employees of the company, we will sign a short-term contract with you to join Hongqiao Sports temporarily, and terminate the contract after the competition." Xin Lone, there's no problem with this, right? ”
"Yes." Xin Lin nodded, and said briskly: "Please rest assured, I will try my best to cooperate with the procedures related to the competition." ”
Lian Xiulin was very satisfied with Xin Lian's statement: "Because the game is held on Jupiter's side, I will hand over the specific affairs after that to Chengbi to arrange." ”
"Father, I've told Europa's branch to get ready." Liancheng Bilisuo said, and said to Xin Lian: "There are still three days left in the registration deadline for this year-old Star Cup martial arts competition, and only on-site registration is accepted, so we have to leave as soon as possible, do you still have things to deal with on Earth?" ”
Xin Lin shook his head, "I can leave at any time." ”
"Very good, you come here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, we will leave together, and I will have someone buy the flight ticket for you." Lian Chengbi immediately made a time arrangement, "This time you may have to stay on Jupiter's side for two to three months, you have to prepare yourself." ”
"No problem." Xin Lin got up and said goodbye: "Mr. Lian, Miss Lian, we have decided so, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." ”
"Okay, I'll send you down." Lian Xiulin got up to see him off, Lian Chengbi just stood up and waited for the two of them to go out and sit down again.
A few minutes later, Lian Xiulin returned to the study, saw his daughter sitting on the sofa thoughtfully, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
"What else can it be, this year-old star cup martial arts tournament is too important for Hongqiao Sports, if Xin Lin can make it to the top eight, what should we do to seize the Jupiter market." Lian Chengbi said with a flat face.
The population in the Jupiter system is nearly one billion, which seems to be a lot, but in fact it is far less than the Earth and Mars, the population of the Earth is more than 50 billion, and Mars also has 7 billion, even if it wins a large share of the Jupiter market, the profit is not as good as that of Earth or Mars. However, Lianjia is interested in the current situation of Jupiter's relatively small population, and if it can win this single market and form a brand effect, it can leverage the sporting goods pattern of the solar system.
This is the company's development strategy set by Lian Xiulin and his two children.
"Do you think he'll make it?" Lian Xiulin's face was heavy, in fact, he didn't have much confidence in Xin Lian, but he had no other way, he couldn't find a more suitable candidate, so he could only grit his teeth and let Xin Lin go.
Lian Chengbi's eyes were a little complicated, and he nodded slowly: "The top eight must be fine, what I just thought about is that if he wins the championship, what should we do with the next thing, after all, the top eight and the championship are completely different, and the benefits obtained by the company are very different." ”
"Champion! You can't be wrong, right? ”
Lian Xiulin looked incredulous, and said suspiciously: "It's been almost a hundred years since I stopped cultivating, but I'm not confused. Even if Xin Lin has practiced the Jingwu Changquan to the realm of refining, he is enough to be called a martial artist, and his strength is extremely top-notch among his peers, but the Force cultivation is his biggest weakness. In such a short period of time, he has condensed two or three Force nodes at most, can he still beat a high-level samurai? ”
"Ordinary high-ranking samurai really doesn't have to be his opponent......"
Lian Chengbi smiled bitterly, since she was defeated yesterday, she didn't know how many times she recalled Xin Lone's furious triple attack, that kind of attack was so terrifying, she still has lingering palpitations!
Lian Chengbi reviewed the fight of less than ten seconds again and again, but the more she thought about it, the more terrifying she felt, and found that Xin Lian's grasp of the timing of the battle was incredible, she didn't give herself a chance to fight back from beginning to end, she was passively beaten throughout the whole process, and the various martial arts she was proficient in were completely defeated without showing them at all.
Not to mention how aggrieved this feeling is, but Lian Chengbi knows very well in her heart that even if she fights again or even ten times, she will not be Xin Lone's opponent.
In addition, Lian Chengbi also noticed a problem, judging from the video taken by his niece Lian Sufei, Xin Lian's best skill should be Jingwu Changquan, which has reached the realm of melting, but yesterday's three-move combo is not Jingwu Changquan at all, it can be seen that he must be proficient in other boxing techniques, and his realm is not low.
Lian Xiulin didn't expect his daughter to be so optimistic about Xin Lian, and immediately noticed his daughter's abnormality, and asked, "Have you tried it?" Otherwise, why are you so sure that he can beat a high-ranking samurai. ”
"Yes, I just got home yesterday and couldn't help but try it." Liancheng Biluo admitted with some embarrassment.
"The result?" Lian Xiulin suddenly became interested.
Lian Chengbi hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully to his father: "I didn't hold it in his hand for even ten seconds." ”
"He's so strong!" Lian Xiulin was dumbfounded, he knew very well his daughter's strength, Lian Chengbi, as an intermediate samurai, had cultivated the Force for more than 20 years, and his martial arts talent was not bad, he had a tie with a senior samurai, but he couldn't even hold it for ten seconds in Xin Lone's hands, if it weren't for the fact in front of him, and it was his daughter who admitted it herself, he didn't believe that there was such a thing at all.
You know, it's been less than three months since Xin Lin became a Force Warrior!
"This Xin Lonely is just twenty-five years old, how can he be so powerful!"
After being amazed, Lian Xiulin became excited, walked around the study, and said, "It would be great if Xin Lin was really as powerful as you said, and it would be beneficial to us." If he really wins the Star Cup, we will make a lot of money, and the implementation of the plan we set before will be smoother! ”
Lian Chengbi thought further, and said softly: "If Xin Lin wins the championship, it will be very good, but in my opinion, Xin Lin himself is no less important than the championship, or even better." After all, he is only a junior samurai now, and he will grow up ...... later."
"That's right! You're right! ”
Lian Xiulin reacted immediately, and said: "If he participates in the Star Wars League in the future, he may become a superstar, if our Red Bridge Sports can ask him to be the spokesperson and make a name for himself in the Federation, what is the small Jupiter market!" Before he became famous, we had to build a good relationship with him. ”
Speaking of this, Lian Xiulin looked at his daughter and said seriously: "Chengbi, I know you have always disliked men, but this matter is too important, it is related to the development prospects of our Hongqiao Sports, so I hope you can focus on the overall situation, and when you get along with Xin Lin in the future, I don't ask you to be respectful to him, it will be too explicit to do so, I just ask you to be more restrained, keep a normal heart, and don't make trouble with him." ”
Lian Chengbi's eyelids drooped, and he was silent for a few breaths before replying, "Got it, I will." ”
"Well, it's good that you know." Lian Xiulin leaned back on the sofa, pinched his eyebrows with his hand, looked a little tired, glanced at his daughter again, and quipped: "It's a pity, you don't like men, otherwise I would be willing to be Xin Lone's son-in-law, hahaha......"
Lian Chengbi snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction, and got up and left with a broken face.
Early the next morning, Xin Lin arrived at Lian's house on time.
On the large lawn of the villa is a landing plane, which is very common for the space station and the ground, with a total length of less than 30 meters, like a shuttle, like an ultra-small spaceship, which can carry dozens of passengers directly from the ground into space, extremely fast.
When Xin Shi arrived, Lian Chengbi was already waiting by the landing plane.
Lian Chengbi put on a professional outfit again, her hair was coiled up, and she showed the demeanor of a strong woman in her mature and cold manner, which was very eye-catching as she saw it for the first time the day before yesterday.
"That's what you bring?" Lian Chengbi saw a backpack behind Xin Lian, which didn't seem to be full, and then his hands were empty, and there was nothing else.
"I've always traveled light." Xin Lin explained. He has lived on Earth for many years, and he has not saved many belongings, the most valuable thing is the "Seven Colors Stellar Flame" exercise chip worn around his neck, a wrist mobile phone, a maglev motorcycle, and a few changes of clothes, nothing else.
"Okay, board the plane."
The two entered the landing machine, and Xin Lin found that the interior of the landing plane had been transformed, and the seats that could seat dozens of people were removed and renovated into a comfortable and spacious lounge, equipped with four luxury massage chairs, drinks and snacks, audio-visual entertainment, and a simulated robot that looked like a waitress was on standby.
"This is a landing plane for VIPs, it seems that it is chartered by the family, and the rich will enjoy it." Xin Lin put down his backpack and sat down in a luxurious chair at random, and his body fell into the soft chair, which was very comfortable.
Lian Chengbi sat down on the other side and ordered, "Let's go." ”
The landing plane has no pilot, it is completely automated by the navigation system, and after receiving the command, the fuselage shook slightly, and immediately took off, climbing obliquely upward, and the speed became faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, Qishan Island disappeared from view, and through the porthole, there was a sea level with an obvious arc in front of him.
The landing aircraft drove into the high-speed airway, quickly and steadily breaking through the speed of sound, and at such a high speed, the noise inside the fuselage was very low, quiet and comfortable.
Ten minutes later, the landing plane broke free from the gravitational constraints of the earth and entered space, Xin Xiao felt his body light, and gently floated up in the cabin, entering a state of weightlessness. A strong beam of sunlight shot into the cabin, Xin Xiao turned his head to look, squinted his eyes, and then returned to normal.
At this time, the speed of the landing plane increased a little, and it flew quickly towards the Earth-1 spaceport.
There are 10 spaceports in the geostationary orbit of the earth, and the shape and design of the spaceports are different, each of which is more than 50 kilometers in size, and the largest is nearly 300 kilometers.
Spaceport No. 1 is the earliest spaceport built on the earth, with an altitude of 35,786 kilometers above the ground, and its substar point is forever fixed at 120 °.0 'east longitude and 0 °.0 ' north latitude, that is, above the equator.
The distance is slowly approaching, and the No. 1 spaceport slowly expands in the field of vision, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
More than 500 kilometers away from the spaceport, the landing aircraft began to adjust its speed and slowly synchronize with the spaceport, and the structure of the spaceport could be seen clearly through the naked eye. The drum-shaped spaceport has a rotating central axis connected to the outer wall structure by a large hollow pipe, and the circular inner side of the cylinder wall is divided into hundreds of layers, each of which is a row of spacecraft docks.
Due to the weightless environment of space, no matter how big or small the spacecraft is, it only needs a tough enough connection to hover steadily, so that it does not need to attach its own mass to the spaceport, thus affecting the speed of the spaceport.
Benefiting from the Federation's first satellite, Earth, the No. 1 spaceport is one of the most prosperous spaceports of the Earth Federation, with the utilization rate of more than 100,000 berths not dropping below ninety percent since the day it was built, and the throughput is extremely amazing, ranking among the top three among all the spaceports in the country!
As the distance approached, the No. 1 spaceport became larger and larger in the field of vision, and the landing plane flew in from one end of the spaceport, and Xin Lin soon could not see the panoramic view of the spaceport, as if a huge cylinder was covering from the front, front and back, left and right, head and feet were surrounded by a circular world.
The landing plane flew inside the spaceport, and at a glance, the inner wall of the entire spaceport was full of all kinds of spaceships, the small spaceship was about 300 meters, and it was generally a passenger flight, small and flexible, and fast; The large ships are three or four thousand meters long, and these are basically cargo ships, with large tonnage and slightly slower speeds.
Every moment and every second, dozens or hundreds of ships enter the port, and the same number of ships set sail to the various colonized planets of the Federation.
Xin Lin looked at this busy scene from a distance through the string window, and even if it was not the first time he saw this scene, he still couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
At this time, the relative speed of the landing aircraft and the spaceport was less than 200 kilometers per hour, and the spaceships that did not look very large at a long distance had become giants at this time, which was extremely shocking and made me feel insignificant. In comparison, a landing aircraft less than thirty meters long is not even a small sampan!
A few minutes later, the landing aircraft received a message from the spaceport, designated the landing location, automatically adjusted its direction slightly, and flew towards one of the floors of the spaceport.
