In 2244, when he saw that on the map of the Milky Way, a meandering starry sky route stretching for 700 light years was completely opened, Cao Chuan felt extremely relieved in his heart.

The moment he had been waiting for had arrived, and now, following the route that had been carved out by hundreds of ships and countless failures, through the 80 light-year-long outer world route composed of more than 20 star systems, the 100-light-year Gaia Nebula, the 30-light-year-long barren world route with almost no dark energy, and the 500 light-year sublimation route, humanity would come to the outside of Orion's cantilever.

In the distance, he either chose to go to the centaur cantilever or chose to go to the Yingxian cantilever arm, there was no essential difference between the two, and Cao Chuan, who didn't know what else was waiting in front of him, said that the first thing to do was to make use of what he saw in front of him.

What to do is clear, that is to explore the planet, only by developing these places, human beings can use this as a springboard to run farther places.

"But do you want to use the Frontier Corporation?" Cao Chuan thought, it's not that it's inappropriate, but that the frontier company is planning a few things - exploring neutron stars, black holes, compared to these goals, it is indeed a little simple to open up a few planets, so that there is no challenge.

Of course, if the Frontier Company can complete these exploration activities quickly, for Cao Chuan, it is just a matter of waiting, but it seems that neutron stars and black holes are so dangerous, even with the full cooperation of the Academy of Sciences, the exploration cycle may be extended to 100 years.

"Isn't the master really bothering the Frontier Company?" Joan of Arc interjected, "They're the right fit, especially during the war." ”

"Don't bother them first, besides, I'm looking forward to their work, think about it, if there is first-hand data on neutron stars and black holes. Does it mean that we will unlock a lot of precursors of science and technology beyond the times? ”

"On the technology tree, we will further deepen our grasp of cosmology, materials, and transition theory, which are the key to future technological development, and there is no need to interrupt their work."

"Only. If the owner really proposed it to them, they would definitely take the initiative to do it. Nana answered.

"You know the nature of these people very well..."The corners of Cao Chuan's mouth curled slightly: "Actually, you can also go." I think adding a few more unmanned bases is acceptable. ”

"If the master wants to, of course I will." Nana unceremoniously followed, and the other Loli who watched it were quite envious, but they were not as bold as Nana.

"However, I already have a choice in mind... Do you remember the Yuanwang Association, this group of senior pioneers, not only strong economic strength, but also rich experience. Outstanding ability, and all of them are staunch supporters of the East Galaxy Company, at least on the route from the earth to the cantilevered frontier, it is definitely not a problem to hand over the exploration and pioneering work to them. ”

"That's a pity!" Nana was a little disappointed after hearing this, why is her life so miserable? However, although she has a heart that yearns for freedom, she still obeys her master's orders very much, "I must admit it. The pioneers of the Yuanwang Association are indeed a group of high-quality coolies with ideals and abilities. ”

"That's why I thought of them," Cao Chuan said earnestly, and then said, "Wait until 1,000 light years away." I'm going to think about clones and you... After all, the king of the giant mouth is pressing forward step by step, and if he doesn't fight back, are we cats? ”

The Moon, the headquarters of the Far Hope Association, is located here, and because it is under the direct jurisdiction of the exploration department of the East Galaxy Corporation, its origin is very noble.

It must have more than 10 billion assets and must make outstanding contributions of 10 million to the East Galaxy Company. It is necessary to obtain a regular introduction from a regular employee, so so far there are only 45 members in the association.

But at the same time, it is not a social circle of the rich and powerful, due to the conditions of participation. There are also more than 100 years of experience in the development of planets, the requirement of progressive thinking, and the proviso of not holding official positions in any large company or government agency, making it more like a retirement home.

The difference with other nursing homes is that the old people in it know astronomy and geography, can do the unknown, can drive a spaceship, can sell insurance, and is definitely an extremely dynamic non-governmental organization in the area managed by the East Galaxy Company.

Cao Chuan, under the leadership of Qiao Yueyun, visited the Yuanwang Association.

Qiao Yueyun is the grandson of Qiao Canal, the son of Qiao Qianshan, and he is already the third generation of East Galaxy, and he is 30 years old to maintain the operation of such an institution.

Compared with Qiao Canal and Qiao Qianshan, Qiao Yueyun is really still relatively immature, and his age is never as old as the members, so he is often the object of ridicule in the association.

"Huh! Little Joe is here! In the association, several senior pioneers are still pointing at the map of the Milky Way, "Come on, I heard that Yishitang has discovered a red giant star with a diameter of 30 million kilometers in the universe 35 light-years away from us, and we plan to team up to explore it, what do you think?" ”

The work of the Far Hope Association is similar to that of the Frontier Company, responsible for the exploration of the surrounding star systems, but because it is not under the compulsory management of the Eastern Galaxy Company, it is more free and allowed to be determined by the Association itself.

And more people plan to introduce a girlfriend to Qiao Yueyun as usual, you know, how can the other party be three generations, the pioneer of the East Galaxy Company, a regular employee, a descendant of the father, and the fifth diamond king, I don't know how many people are interested in him.

This can be regarded as the normal care of the elders for the juniors, even if Qiao Yueyun is the president of the association, if he discusses a serious topic all day long, it is very boring, isn't it? There needs to be a topic like this to lighten the mood.

Qiao Yueyun was a little embarrassed to deal with these topics, fortunately, there were other things today, so he gave up his position to Cao Chuan after a while, and this honorary advisor was not recognized in the first few seconds because he was too young and too low-key.

There were several retired regular employees in the association, and it didn't take long for them to find out that they were honorary advisors, and they immediately stood up, "Welcome Mr. Honorary Advisors!! ”

The rest of the people were slightly stunned, it stands to reason that the Yuanwang Association is such a high-level organization, in fact, no ministerial-level figures have visited in these years, and they can't help but feel flattered that an honorary advisor has suddenly arrived.

Applause rang out, Cao Chuan quickly entered the topic, he had made preparations before coming over, and found that the members of the association were really quite good coolies.

For example, the Yishitang they mentioned earlier, a native of the Holy Kingdom, used to be the director of Hyundai Heavy Industries, and he loves planet exploration, and he has spent tens of billions of dollars on it over the years.

Another example is the pioneer called Balzac, who has an industry worth more than 500 billion yuan in five million cities, and has continued to sponsor several fleets to carry out difficult exploration activities over the years.
