Chapter 1093 - Stingray’s Return (2/2)
These videos and photos immediately acc.u.mulated tens of millions of views in less than a day, and were forwarded to all major social media sites. They caused a sensation on the internet and even overtook the popularity of the Outer s.p.a.ce Security Summit.
“Even Mars has been colonized. What can stop Celestial Trade from going further?” Some people exclaimed.
“d.a.m.n, we didn’t even get to go on the Moon yet and they have already claimed Mars. The good places are being robbed by them, this is not okay!” Someone cursed.
“Sigh, when Celestial Trade recruited s.p.a.ce volunteers, I applied for it. But when I saw the Mars Colonization Program, I gave up the idea. Now life on Mars doesn’t look as bad as I imagined…” Some people admired.
“…”
Not just on videos, Celestial Trade made the photos available on their official website for anyone to retransmit.
Intentional or not, amongst the photos, there was a photo that was particularly intriguing. In the photo, several colonists wearing s.p.a.cesuits stood shoulder-to-shoulder, in a row, posing in front of the camera for a group photo.
The pose of the colonists in the photo itself was completely fine, but the problem was the background, the rover behind them.
…
It was “Curiosity” launched in 2011.
Compared with the astronauts who posed in front of it, it looked like a large toy.
Clumsy, bloated, and unappealing…
The meaning of the photo was of course positive, symbolizing the “friends.h.i.+p” between the countries. No matter from which point of view, it was just a good photo. However, the UA media chose to remain silent and selectively ignored this photo. Controversy only appeared among the netizens.
This photo full of malicious intention was a demand from Jiang Chen
As to why?
I am pitiful!
…
These days, Jiang Chen stayed in Celestial City. He would either go to the command center and observe the Mars colony or take a stroll in Celestial Trade to take in the beauty of the city full of technology.
They were approaching the end of the month. With the first exploration site built in the Mars colony, the Stingray A-1 sent to the UFO for investigation, ended its journey of nearly three months. In a suspense-filled moment, the deceleration was completed before the fuel was exhausted as it barely entered the orbit.
Because of the top-secret nature of the flight and the major events that happened recently, Celestial Trade couldn’t hold a grand welcoming ceremony for this hero. He could only be sneaked into the port of Celestial Trade.
However, Jiang Chen was never the kind of person who would make his subordinates feel aggrieved. In recognition of the brave performance of the pilot, Jiang Chen personally awarded him the Golden Eagle Medal.
It was almost the highest glory of the Celestial Trade Air Force. With such a medal, his career progression will be smooth sailing. As long as he didn’t make too many mistakes, he could be a captain before the age of forty.
In addition to the medal, a bonus of one million Xin New dollars was awarded to him in the form of a year-end bonus. On the one hand, his behavior was indeed worthy of praise, but on the other hand, it was a fee to keep the information confidential.
The one hundred kilograms sphere finally arrived in Celestial City.
Jiang Chen already couldn’t wait to see what it was.
