"Today, a wave of solar wind hit the combined fleet, causing electromagnetic interference that lasted for 12 hours." Bai Lian reported to Cao Chuan again in the spaceship what had happened.

"When there is a neutrino communicator, the fleet's communications won't be affected, will it?" Cao Chuan comforted, "This is the benefit of neutrino communication, even in a world shrouded in solar wind, communication equipment can still work normally." ”

"That being said, the supercomputer I host still doesn't have any protection, you know, the solar wind will cause short-term changes in the magnetic field, and even affect the operation of electronic devices." White Lotus complained, "What if I die? ”

"Don't worry... Big deal: You can get out. Cao Chuan said, "Didn't Nana teach you?" If you learn to transmit your consciousness back to Earth via the Internet, you will not die no matter how much danger you encounter. ”

"Hmm~~~" Bai Lian pondered, as if recalling the possibility of this matter, Cao Chuan continued to ask: "You have arrived on Mars, how is the trade going?" ”

"Progress?" Bai Lian replied disdainfully: "It's nothing special, just like last time, dispose of 10,000 tons of materials, and bring thousands of tons of grain from Mars." ”

"This time, Taoyuan Port invited them to invest, and the joint fleet specially visited Taoyuan Port in the Night Rabbit Country."

Bai Lian said, sending a few photos and videos, but the photos alone are enough to illustrate the problem.

"The scale is not small, in the end, it is the Night Rabbit Country." As his motherland, Cao Chuan is of course very familiar with it, and he is not surprised that Taoyuan Port has achieved such development achievements.

In the picture, he saw a large area of land, covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres, with a semi-enclosed structure, exposed to the atmosphere of Mars, which seemed to be a special cold-resistant crop, and was divided into several varieties.

"The country of night rabbits used to be an agricultural country and has rich experience in the study of food crops, is this a new food product?" Cao Chuan muttered to himself, "When Taoyuan Port was first established, I remember that many agricultural experts participated, and it should be like this. ”

Bai Lian told the final results of the cooperation between the trade department: "The trade department signed a cooperation agreement with the Night Rabbit Country on grain trading, authorizing the East Galaxy Company as an agent to buy grain on Mars at a preferential price, and on the other hand, the East Galaxy Company has to guarantee that it will sell at least 5,000 tons of grain every year in the future." ”

"In terms of food, the asteroid belt has a large demand, 5,000 tons, which is barely enough to meet the daily needs of 10,000 people, and now, the population of several major forces near the asteroid belt combined is less than 5,000 people. In this way, the trade department will have to work a little harder to complete the task. ”

Listening to Bai Lian's narration, Cao Chuan learned more about the recent situation of the combined fleet, which made him deeply feel how wise it was to put a little tail of his own in the fleet.

"The employees of East Galaxy Company will also report from time to time, this feeling... It's different, the first perspective is different, and the second, it's more of a sense of God, as if it's a voyeur of one's own believers. ”

……

"On February 1, 2025, the combined fleet arrived at asteroid 297 in the asteroid belt, which is the base of the 13-nation alliance of Europa, with a population of about 500 and the main controller is the country of Canaan."

"Hmm!" Hearing the White Lotus's report, Cao Chuan asked, "Is it the Canaan Kingdom, not a member of the 13-nation alliance?" Sure enough, the establishment of the Planetary Development Consortium still can't agree with each other's ideas, and when they get to a free world like the asteroid belt, they immediately use the multi-point flowering development plan instead of holding together. ”

"What is the value of such a small base?" It was the first time he had heard of the appearance of this base, and he glanced at the map, on which the area was marked with an additional place name because of the visit of the combined fleet.

"I see, it's a really good geographical location, 500 million kilometers away from Ceres, which is far from the emperor of the sky, and every other year, that is, half of the orbital cycle of Mars, because of the change of the position of Mars and the asteroid belt, it has become a much better transportation hub than Ceres."

"The master still knows everything." Bai Lian said reverently, and she went on to report: "Another thing is to run into the lighthouse country's spaceship, 1. ”

"The local productivity of the lighthouse country is high, and two new large spaceships have been built, only one is divided to try various explorations and trades, but I dare not make up my mind, and the other one is still the same as the original spaceship, specializing in transporting people and equipment from the mainland to improve the industrial system of Zero Point Port."

Cao Chuan replied: "I see, can the spaceship you encountered be regarded as an exploration spaceship sent by the Lighthouse Nation to wander around?" With such a close relationship between Canaan and the Lighthouse Nation, it's no surprise that the ship chose this place. ”

"The trade department contacted the lighthouse nation's trade ships and planned to organize a friendly exchange meeting to visit each other's ships."

"Gathering intelligence? It's a good opportunity, and I support the approach of the trade department, because both sides are trying to understand each other's real intentions, so the result is definitely a negotiation. ”

Bai Lian's answer was not what Cao Chuan expected, and after the trade department issued an invitation, the two sides really agreed and went to the other party's ship to visit.

"When they entered the spaceship made by the Lighthouse Country, the employees finally knew that the Lighthouse Country's spaceship looked almost the same as theirs, and the accumulation was not enough, so there were many problems inside."

"That's right... This can be regarded as an answer to many people's confusion, building self-confidence, and always worrying about whether the lighthouse country will surpass us. ”

Bai Lian said: "And the East Galaxy used to receive the Lighthouse Country is the Hengyue-class No. 1 ship, which has been built for more than a year, and a lot of the equipment on it is outdated, so..."

"Didn't the Lighthouse Nation crew see anything?"

"No... They were very happy to see it, and some people were quietly studying the records, not knowing at all that the Hengyue-class No. 1 ship was the most backward one in the East Galaxy. Bai Lian snickered.

Cao Chuan applauded: "The trade department has done a good job this time, and it seems that we have succeeded in confusing them." ”

"In addition, the trade department communicated with the spacecraft of the Lighthouse Nation about the routes of the two sides, and learned that they will continue to travel back and forth between Mars and the asteroid belt for a short time." Bai Lian said, pointing to the map to connect, "The route is roughly from Mars Zero Point Harbor to Asteroid Belt No. 297 asteroid, to help Port No. 297 continue to develop." ”

"We can rest assured that there is no one who can threaten our planetary trading business anytime soon."
