I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World-Chapter 1525 - Stellar System Highway Network
Chapter 1525: Stellar System Highway Network
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rainystars
In the modern world.
Under the command of the Celestial Trade Space Command Center, Stingray C-1s were ejected one by one at the launch port into the boundless starry universe and flew towards the area tens of kilometers away.
It was a giant ring that just “parked” there. It remained relatively static with the Earth. It moved around the Earth and rotated around the Sun.
The ring was so small, so minuscule, that it was easy to miss without closer examination.
But from a closer perspective, the ring looked massive, massive to the point that the Seagull-class transport was just like a goldfish in a net bag, and the Stingray C-1s that moved around it were just like mosquitos around a street lamp.
It was a construction site.
The blue electric sparks connected together and illuminated the space, with hundreds of Stingrays C-1 simultaneously working together and the steel skeletons were welded together to form the outline of the giant circular portal.
Based on Celestial Trade’s plan for the “Stellar System Highway Network”, a total of four sets of star portals would be deployed between the Earth-Moon system and Mars. Each set would include two portals, with one portal for each direction, parallel to each other. Two of the sets would move with the Earth-Moon system and Mars, while the other two sets would move in the region between Earth and Mars to act as “satellites” that orbit around the Sun in the solar system.
The neutrino emission frequency of these star portals was lower, in contrast, the emission intensity was much higher in order to extend the neutrino channel to farther places while it avoided interference with the portal between the modern world and the apocalypse.
A Holy Shield module would be installed on each star portal to defend against asteroid impact from multiple angles.
In the conservative estimation, once the neutrino tunnel began to operate, the time to travel between Earth and Heavenly Palace City would be shortened by at least 50%. Based on the prospect of space engine technology, this time would continue to shorten. Because of the principle of time expansion in the neutrino tunnel, the faster the speed, the more time saved.
Not far away, a Seagull-class transport ship, with the blessings of the people of all countries, slowly sailed away from the port of Celestial City.
In addition to the five hundred crew members, two hundred colonists were also on the ship. They carried the future of Earth civilization to the unknown and barren land, and they would explore more territories for the civilization.
The destination was Europa.
The fabled planet covered by glaciers.
“What’s there?”
“Star Portal.” The man with wrinkles on his face watched the ring outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and there was relief and fascination in his eyes, “Stellar System Highway Network.”
He was the governor of the Himalia colony and his name was Peng Wei. He was a native of Xin and was selected by votes through Earth Defense Alliance. Although Hua and Russia both wanted this position, they considered that only Celestial Trade had the talent pool in this area, so they decided to not compete in the end.
Next to the man was a slightly younger man named Yu Dongyang, an astronaut from Hua. He was also a leader of the Hua colony in the Himalia Project. Based on the different policies of each country, the functions of the leaders were also slightly different. For example, this man’s role was more similar to a political commissar.
After Yu Dongyang heard such exciting news, he looked a little surprised, “Is it okay to tell me this kind of information?”
“No worries,” Peng Wei shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, “Anyway, we didn’t intend to hide it from the beginning. You only need to find the correct position to see it with a telescope.”
As a senior executive of Celestial Trade, Peng Wei was only aware of this plan. The technology of the star portal seemed to be related to the prehistoric technology unearthed on Mars. Of course, this information was confidential, so he did not speak more with Mr. Yu Dongyang.
…
“At 13:40, Xin time, the SS Columbus departed from the port of Celestial City and headed to Jupiter. The 500 crew members and 200 colonists on board made a final farewell to their relatives on Earth…”
The TV showed an image of the SS Columbus setting off.
The blue light arc flickered, and the starship that completed its acceleration phase left a single dot of blue that gradually merged into the universe. Jiang Chen sat beside the wooden table in front of the TV while Yao Yao and Xiaorou, in beautiful swimsuits, brought a delicious breakfast to the table.
Their beautiful and delicious appearance made Jiang Chen feel full already.
They were at a small wooden cabin on Coconut Island. In the past few days, they had lived there. There was a kitchen, bedrooms, washrooms in this cabin, and even an artificial hot spring made with stones in the backyard.
The cabin was built about a year ago for the girls.
Because from the beginning, Jiang Chen decided to use this small island as a node to connect the two worlds.
A week had passed since Sun Jiao and the girls came to this world.
In the past week, Jiang Chen mainly taught them some common sense about the world.
For example, killing was illegal, fighting was prohibited, intrusion was a crime, and everything had to be paid for with money. There were no predators and no cannibals here. Everyone here was mostly reasonable and did not resort to violence in a disagreement… If there was really a criminal, the police drone would be dispatched in ten seconds.
Most of the information was intended for Sun Jiao and Xiaorou.
Only those two were from the wasteland in the true sense.
Yao Yao and Lin Lin came from pre-war in different ways.
After he taught Sun Jiao and others basic knowledge, Jiang Chen also introduced them to things that everyone would know. For example, the countries in the world, things like phones and laptops that were mostly eliminated in the 22nd century.
TV was one of the channels used to obtain information.
There was also the Phantom helmet.
Now Sun Jiao could finally not play games on LAN. After she bugged and begged Jiang Chen for a long time, Jiang Chen finally agreed to migrate her account data to Godly Land. But after she discovered the more interesting Galaxy Edge, she immediately abandoned Godly Land that she was already bored of.
Breakfast was oatmeal, milk, and sandwiches stuffed with many things. It was very healthy.
“Oh~ what is that?!” When Sun Jiao saw the tower that extended down to Earth, and the huge ring that surrounded the tall tower, her eyes widened, then she put her face right up against the TV.
Lin Lin, while she bit on her spoon, cast a sideways look at Sun Jiao. She snorted, then said proudly.
“That’s a space elevator, idiot.”
Before the war, there were three space elevators in South Asia, near Somalia, and in South America. Lin Lin and Yao Yao were not unfamiliar with space elevators, because it was not a rare technology before the war.
Originally, Lin Lin planned to show off in front of Sun Jiao, but soon, under the suppression of the former’s unkind sight, the latter shrank her neck and raised her hand to surrender. When they swam yesterday, Sun Jiao and Xiaorou mischievously snatched her swimming ring and caused her to flutter in the water for a long time.
The thought still made Lin Lin scared.
The harmonious atmosphere around the table made the corner of his lips slightly bent upwards.
After they had breakfast, Jiang Chen gently put the spoon down, wiped his mouth, and pondered for a while before he said the words he had hesitated to say for a long time.
“Tomorrow, I plan to take you, uh… to get to know them.”
