Chapter 1108 (1/2)
The main axis area of the space elevator is the gravity free section of the whole star ring city and the port area of the whole star ring city. Since the launch of the asteroid mining program, countless small and medium-sized transport vessels have been seen waiting on the berths every day, waiting for the robotic arm to load and unload the ore in the container.
In addition to the mineral carriers, we can occasionally see a rectangular shaped passenger ship floating out of the transfer station and flying towards the moon. Since the star ring trade announced the opening of the Earth Moon flights, the earth and the city of Guanghan folk exchanges will be active.
Now the scale of Guanghan City is not the same as before. The living units around the central square, connected by graphene pipes, are located on the surface of the moon. There are nearly 10000 people living here, and most of them are young and middle-aged workers with higher education.
In order to meet the needs of the public, star ring trade also built municipal facilities such as primary schools, junior high schools, high schools, community universities, hospitals, police rooms and other municipal facilities around the central square. It also invited public bidding for the construction of hotels, bars, cafes, dance halls, amusement parks and other entertainment facilities.
In addition to the permanent resident population, there are at least 4000 passengers between Guanghan City and the star ring city every day, including immigrants to the moon, pure tourists, or investors looking for opportunities.
Electrolytic chambers and lunar ice drilling exploration wells have sprung up to deliver a continuous stream of oxygen and hydrogen to the colonies. There are also rare earth mining stations waving twist arms and lunar soil refineries producing helium 3, which jointly support the industry and economy of Guanghan City.
Sixty percent of the world's iron and aluminum mines, and 80 percent of the rare earth minerals, are held in these 36000 kilometers of elevators.
It is precisely because of this that the 50% defense tax will be so painful for the capitalists in the Western Hemisphere.
This knife is almost cut in their chest, but also let them bear the name of the coward
Standing in the lift cabin of the space elevator, Wu Changfeng stood quietly by the window, looking out the window at the huge black ship.
The name ”Seagull” is familiar to anyone. The Red River X1 engine, named by Jiang Chen himself, is the first 500 000 ton class giant ship in star ring trade and the first interstellar giant ship in the true sense of earth civilization. Since then, the 500 000 dwt class ships of star ring trade, whether transport ships or warships, are named after seagull class.
The 600 meter long ship is connected with the main shaft of the elevator by cantilevers. From a distance, it is so bulky that the spacecraft passing through it is as insignificant as a duckweed mole ant.
In Wu Changfeng's eyes, the size of this seagull class transport ship is large enough. At least three ”Liaoning” ships must be connected in the first place to be comparable in length with it. However, even the mighty warships can not be the main force to fight against the harmonious civilization?
Thinking of this, he can not help but have a touch of worries about the future of earth civilization.
What kind of enemies are we facing?
”What are you looking at?” Walking to his side, Lu Wei said with a smile.
Lu Wei, former captain of the destroyer Nanning, ranks as Admiral and represents China with Wu Changfeng.
Hearing his colleague's words to himself, Wu Changfeng turned around and was just about to say something. However, when his eyes fell on his arm, he swallowed the words to his mouth.
As if he had guessed the meaning of Wu Changfeng's eyes, Lu Wei sighed and helplessly lifted up his sleeve and showed him the needle eye on his arm.
”Did you do the same?” Wu Changfeng picked up his eyebrows, without any expression on his face, but his vigilance gradually dropped.
”Do you think they would let us go so easily without the injection?” Lu Wei reluctantly folded up his sleeve.
Wu Changfeng frowned slightly and soon understood what he meant.
There was a smile on that unsmiling face, he said softly.
”We haven't heard of telomere modified serum, we haven't injected anything.”
”Of course, don't you think I'll write that in the report?” Lu Wei smiles and shakes his head. ”I'm not so stupid. It's obvious that it will bring us trouble.”
Wu Changfeng nodded.
China has two seats in the Earth Defense Alliance Committee. What he was most worried about was that he had concealed the ”serum” and Lu Wei handed it over to the state.
