On Pluto in July 2034, the interior of the newly built shipyard is busy with the construction of the White Lotus Princess.

In Cao Chuan's opinion, making such a luxurious version of the spaceship before the second-generation spaceship was fully mature was undoubtedly a difficult challenge for all the skilled workers present, so much so that he was skeptical that the White Lotus Princess could be completed.

But gradually, he noticed that because of the continuous and enthusiastic attention of the mental models, just from the perspective of process accuracy, defect rate, and environmental requirements, this place was even higher than any factory or laboratory in the area controlled by the East Galaxy Company, and it was really possible to build this spaceship, and he began to change from doubt to expectation.

In late July, the White Lotus Princess was officially completed, and then under the control of the White Lotus, the spacecraft flew straight towards the moon.

"Isn't the master happy to see the White Lotus Princess?" Cao Chuan, who had just barely resolved the matter of the Ancient God Church and had returned to the moon not long ago, learned the good news, and his face showed a little surprise.

"Anyway, you're really surprising to me, and you feel like you're getting smarter than I am."

"Is the master inferior? Don't worry, we won't abandon you, you see, the White Lotus Princess has come to pick you up. Bai Lian hurriedly said.

"I understand..."Cao Chuan thought to himself that it was worthy of the mental model he had made, not only did he not doubt his own existence, did not betray mankind, did not engage in internal struggles, but also worked so hard to help himself, his luck was really good.

Cao Chuan came to the huge White Lotus Princess, which was bigger than the Nana Queen, but slightly slimmer than the Changyang-class spaceship, including the outside, after the deliberate request of the White Lotus, it was painted with the beautiful and eye-catching "Pain Ship" livery, using the virtual image set by the White Lotus herself.

Cao Chuan still remembers the performance parameters of the White Lotus Princess, which is the most advanced spacecraft today, completely adopting an unmanned design, reducing the area for human activities by 50%, with a length of 220 meters, a width of 35 meters, a height of 40 meters, an empty weight of 21,000 tons, a load of 55,000 tons, a maximum speed of 30,000 kilometers per second, and a maximum range of 10 light years.

Yes, its greatest strength is a terrifying speed of 30,000 km/s, and it takes no more than 3 days from Pluto to the moon, so he boarded the spacecraft alone and easily circled around the solar system, taking planets that he had never seen before before, such as the moons of Mercury, the orbital space of the sun, Uranus, and Neptune.

The map of the solar system is all opened, and the main regions of the galaxy with a huge radius of 5 billion kilometers are all displayed on the map, and the changes in the surrounding world are transmitted back in real time through thousands of satellites.

It would be a waste to just use this spaceship to do these things.

His gaze turned to the farther frontier of the solar system, where there was almost no matter in the open space, except for the area where comets existed, and countless primordial nebulae were scattered among them, making elliptical orbits under the weak gravitational pull of the sun, and then revolving together along the center of the Milky Way.

The place known as the Oort Cloud, which is the true boundary of the solar system, if you leave the Oort Cloud, the weak gravitational pull of the thin matter in the star space does not come from the Sun, but mainly from the Alpha Centauri, Barnard, Woolf 359, Brand's 2147 stars closest to the Sun.

His gaze expands, and as he crosses the Oort cloud, he can travel to other star systems, and this goal is more important than that.

"It's time to consider going to Centaur Alpha to open up, the closest star to mankind, definitely a new era in history!" Cao Chuan felt that he could finally think of something that he did not dare to think of, and he recalled that he was first exposed to a game called "Alpha Centaur" when he was a child, which was called the sister chapter of "Civilization", and it was the strategy game with this background that left a deep impression on him.

Now look at how exciting it will be when the scene depicted in the game becomes a reality, and besides, the advance team to go to Centaur Alpha will only be dispatched, and the cost will be at most a large-scale scientific experiment, no more than 100 billion, no matter who will accept it.

Through the combination of the second-generation unmanned units and the joint production workshop that he had prepared earlier, it was enough to set up a temporary camp on the planet of Centaur Alpha, and then send a second batch of support groups, so that he could establish a new home for mankind in the distant star system and take the first step in the development of extragalactic systems.

When Cao Chuan returned to the lunar base and put forward his ideas, sure enough, Alpha Centauri's exploration plan received an enthusiastic response from the majority of employees.

"Mr. Advisor, we think we have to send someone there, what do you think?" Someone immediately started to heckle below.

"It takes 10 years to get to Oort Cloud, and 40 years to get to Centaur Alpha, which seems like a long time, but freezing through the human body is nothing!"

"The exploratory department is willing to take on the responsibility!" Joe Canal interjected abruptly, and it wasn't long before he was surrounded by supporters, who in their eyes were a piece of candy on their lips that they wanted to swallow on the spot.

As for the difficulties on the way, they had to be separated from the East Galaxy Company for 40 years, and they simply ignored them, and they only had the idea of "Lao Tzu is going to Centaur Alpha even if he dies".

As everyone knows, this is a phenomenon unique to the regular employees of the East Galaxy Company, they are like fanatical believers, dedicating their lives to the development of the planet, so no matter what test is in front of them, they will not hesitate to face the difficulties.

"Master, are you going to use the White Lotus Princess? Does that mean I'll follow when the time comes? The mental model that hid behind and listened to it came in, which made Cao Chuan, who was still hesitant, encounter more problems.

It's really hard to reconcile, but this is also a good thing, it can be seen that the East Galaxy Company still adheres to its original intention and has not deteriorated to degenerate.

Cao Chuan considered how to respond, and after a moment, he said: "I agree with the suggestion to send employees to participate, but you will not get any support in Oort Cloud and Centaur Alpha, you must be mentally prepared, in case of death, the board of directors will preserve your consciousness through the soul recovery device, wait for decades to resurrect, if you think it is okay, the plan can be passed." ”

Cao Chuan didn't finish speaking: "As for the White Lotus, I'm afraid that the White Lotus Princess will not be able to hand over to you for management in a short period of time, not even a clone, because the communication delay between the two places is too large, and the delay of more than 1 year must be taken care of by a special mental model." ”

"So—" he looked around him, "Do you have any questions about Centaur Alpha's exploration plans?" ”

Seeing that there was no more sound, Cao Chuan knew that the matter had passed, and it was time for him and the entire East Galaxy Company to prepare, so that after starting the Centaur Alpha Star Exploration Plan and sending people away, he could find a way to find the ancient gods church and the free lighthouse country with peace of mind.
