Chapter 120: The World Is Changing

Nana said: "Master, the following is a summary of the development of the Moon Base, the Moon City in the last 1 year. ”

Bai Lian said: "Master, the recent development of the three major fleets has also been sent to your mailbox." ”

The world is changing, and it will not wait because of the war on Pluto, and during the long journey back of the spacecraft, Cao Chuan is summarizing the changes in the past, so that he can understand the context of the changes in this huge world.

"The first information comes from the home company, as of the end of this year, the population of the lunar city reached 400,000, and after the second generation of unmanned units were replaced, the city's productivity increased by more than 100%, so that this year's GDP is expected to exceed 600 billion."

What kind of scale is 600 billion, which is basically equivalent to East Galaxy Company entering the ranks of the world's top 20 countries, so that they have a strong enough economic foundation.

"The first 6 administrators of the Homeland Company completed their tenure, 1 chose to stay, and the remaining 5 returned to various departments of the East Galaxy Company to start their new work; Of the five new administrators, two are still from the East Galaxy Company, and the other two are selected from among the immigrants. ”

"The second piece of information comes from the exploration department, which has completed the exploration of Saturn, focusing on the study of Saturn's rings and Saturn's atmosphere, obtaining first-hand information, and launching a second in-depth exploration of Jupiter, and after obtaining a lot of useful information, it is proposing a Jupiter exploration plan."

Jupiter, a planet that looks good in Cao Chuan, does the East Galaxy need to explore Jupiter? It seemed like a good idea to him, and they would do it, but it shouldn't be the most urgent.

"The third piece of information comes from the research department, and during this time, the main research work of the research department includes the following two."

"The first research team to cooperate with Bayer to study the so-called "vampire" cosmic disease that has been rampant in the lunar city recently, and found that this cause photophobia, and even cause blood to heat up, and the cause of skin cracking comes from a special mutated germ. ”

"The number of patients reached 2000 and the number of dead exceeded 100? It is indeed a terrible disease, whether it is the Middle Ages or not, if 0.5% of the population of the East Galaxy Company is sick, it is enough to cause a big commotion. ”

"The second is to improve the finalization of weapons and equipment for space operations, for a long time, the East Galaxy Company has less room for choice of weapons and equipment at the cosmic level, only a beam cannon, through the efforts of the research department, now a large EMP missile for defense has been added, which can indiscriminately paralyze the normal operation of the spacecraft inside the space of 20,000 kilometers; and energy protection armor made of materials that can absorb a lot of heat, and can be reinstalled in the ship's shell, which can reduce the power of the beam cannon by at least 50%. ”

Cao Chuan had heard a little about the lack of choice of weapons and equipment in the combat department, and he believed that with a series of things he had scratched out on Pluto, they would now have a lot of choice.

"The fourth piece of information comes from the interplanetary trade group of the trade department, and the size of the three fleets has now doubled, with a total of 12 Henglun-class ships, 15,000 tons of materials traded every month, and a profit of 20 billion."

"There are 15 drayage spacecraft stationed on the space station, which can send 100 small and medium-sized spacecraft into the distance every month, with a profit of 10 billion."

It is another gratifying piece of information, Cao Chuan understands that if there is no interplanetary trade, plundering wealth everywhere, relying on the speed of the development of the moon city itself will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

"The fifth source comes from the Church of Scientology, which has increased the number of believers to 5,000 and the clergy to 100, covering the entire lunar city, and building temples in several countries."

After summarizing the inside, the external world is more complicated, what should we look at? If the most intuitive is undoubtedly the map of the solar system.

"From the old earth, nothing has changed."

"Moon Ignores."

"Ignore the Martian side."

"The main manifestation of the power pattern is still in the asteroid belt."

"The biggest force is undoubtedly the traditional development site within 30 million kilometers of Port 024, including 1 port and 150 asteroids; This was followed by the Temporary Consortium of Planetary Development established by the 13-nation alliance of Europa, which includes 4 ports and 50 asteroids; Finally, there is the lighthouse country, which has also intervened in the asteroid belt recently, including 2 ports and 20 asteroids, in addition to more than a dozen large and small more scattered forces. ”

It will be found that since the advent of the drayage spacecraft, the expansion rate of the Lighthouse Country has been quite fast, while the Polar Bear Country has a long time to recover because of its backward economy in the past ten years; The low-key Night Rabbit Country still develops Mars with peace of mind, and does not interfere with asteroids at all.

It's not for nothing, the Night Rabbit Country still gives a lot of support and help to some old friends, these countries, either perform badly and still haven't been able to establish a base, or develop well, such as Siam Country has its own base in the asteroid belt, and also has trade contacts with the Night Rabbit Country.

If you rewind the time and compare it with the present, you will find that the number of colors on it is much more, indicating that the forces involved have increased; At the same time, the presence of more blocks of the same color represents a considerable degree of annexation, indicating that after several years of development, powerful countries have gained a firm foothold in the hinterland of the solar system.

The only thing that the map of the solar system can't reflect is the changes in science and technology, in fact, according to Nana's report, for example, the genetically modified crops of the Night Rabbit Country have made great progress in recent years, and they can almost win the Nobel Prize...

Fortunately, Cao Chuan was not particularly concerned about this, mainly because he firmly believed that the advantages of East Galaxy in science and technology were too obvious, and no matter what technological progress there was, it would not affect them.

That's it, slowly, Cao Chuan's eyes returned to the Free Lighthouse Country, their old enemy, after almost two years of development, I don't know if I know their plan, at least it seems that they are already taking action.

Let's talk about the size of the fleet, close to 10 large spaceships and 200 small and medium-sized spaceships is a huge capital, in addition to the number of asteroids directly belonging to the lighthouse country alone is 10, and there is a space station built in the asteroid belt, specializing in spacecraft hauling services, a large amount of helium-3 reserves, even if a war breaks out, it is enough to maintain consumption for at least 1 year.

More than 3,000 troops, including at least 500 super soldiers in exoskeleton armor, plus a variety of armed ships, this is also something to focus on.

It is worth mentioning that the Pan-Solar System Cooperation Organization, referred to as GSAG, which was established half a year ago, if you go back to an earlier point in time, you will find that the lighthouse country expanded rapidly, and it did suffer a lot of harassment and losses in the process.

Doing so also means that it has to throw out more benefits to its own little brother, and the advantage is that it can clearly distinguish between its own little brother and its own enemies, and clarify its own sphere of influence.

Under the guarantee of GSAG, the rise of the lighthouse country no longer has any enemies, and the recent expansion in the asteroid belt is like blowing up a balloon, and many countries are actively looking forward to doing business and cooperating with them.

As a result, the fleet of lighthouse nations that appeared in the hinterland of the solar system became public.
