Chapter 1559: World Union Reserve

The completion ceremony of the space elevator took place the next day

More than a dozen cruise shi+ps lined up in the northern Galapagos Islands, and people on top of the deck could clearly see the tower sky ladder

The Ecuadorian President stood on the deck and delivered a re Chen, President of Celestial Trade, and signed his nareements From today on, the space elevator located off the coast of South America was officially open to traffic, as it took on the burden of shi+pping business to the synchronousobt in the Western Hemisphere

As the focus of attention for the public, the national flags of both countries, as well as the flag of Celestial Trade, were hung on the vertical train as it slowly accelerated into the sky, and reat occasion, all major cities in Ecuador set off fireworks at the sane as they celebrated today like a holiday; celebrated the continent welco a new era

“On behalf of the Ecuadorian people, thank you for everything you have done” At the end of the cereht hand and said in a sincere tone “Allow us to give you the most honorable sincerity, you’re always a friend of the Ecuadorian people!”

Media froether with the cao shi+ps froer need to cross the Atlantic Ocean, cross the Panama Canal, and then sail into the Pacific Ocean to the remote Pannu Islands The “Port Marchena” on the synchronousobt now served as a subsidiary port of Celestial Trade and transported goods from the Western Hemisphere

…

Three full days passed since the completion ceremony, and the dozens of cruise shi+ps anchored here dispersed one after another A private yacht approached the Marchena Island, not far from the space elevator There was a watchtower and a small port on the island, and soldiers on duty could be seen from a distance

The nationality of those soldiers was naturally not Ecuador, but from Xin on the other side of the Pacific Ocean

Based on the agreement between Celestial Trade and Ecuador, Marchena Island was leased to Celestial Trade at a price of 1 million Xin New dollars as a concession area for a lease term of 50 years If neither party did not pose any objections after fifty years, the lease was automatically renewed every ten years

This sos Islands was close to the equator The island covered an area of 130 square kilometers This place was practically undeveloped as no one lived on the island and there was only an inactive volcano The surrounding water was deep, which acted as an excellent natural port, but also a natural scenery area

As early as the Xin-UA War, the island was handed to Xin froic fulcrum for Xin in South America The location provided supplies to submarines and marines active in the waters near North America

With the end of the Xin-UA War, Celestial Trade gradually withdrew its troops from the island Now only a force of 50 remained on the island, erethe safety of the space elevator project, and co pirates

“Very beautiful island,” Loki stood on the yacht while he said with his eyes narrowed, “It is a bit wasteful to use it as a military base”

“The military base is only te Chen smiled and then continued after a short pause “We will build a floating island around this ser We will then lai of South America, a free and open port”

The aluminu island could be obtained through the space elevator Especially foam aluminum and other alloys that required the use of rare earth minerals, the outputs on the Moon were considerable

“Really? Then I have to remember this” Loki also said with a s Chen’s words, he had already begun to prepare

In the nearby Galapagos Islands, such as Isabela Island, San Salvador Island, and other islands, all the free land was bought by the B City Consortiuo Loki’s idea was simple If Marchena Island started to prosper with Celestial Trade’s presence, then Isabella Island just had to follow in its footsteps
