Chapter 1026 - The List of Colonists (1/2)

As soon as he picked up, Kelvin’s voice came from the other side of the phone. Jiang Chen heard a hint of excitement—it must be good news.

“The list has been determined. Do you want to see it?”

“List? What list?”

“The first colonists to Mars or pioneers. The equipment needed to colonize Mars was completed last month, and the list of colonists was finally finalized. In a few days, the colonists and equipment will be shipped to Celestial City. I thought you would be interested. Do you want to come for a visit?” Kelvin asked with a smile.

“Wait for me at the experimental base. I will come soon.”

Jiang Chen immediately stood up and headed for the door.

However, just as he was about to open the door, the door opened by itself.

A beautiful secretary in a professional suit was holding a coffee and smiling at him sweetly.

“President, your coffee.”

Jiang Chen then remembered that he had just asked for a cup of coffee.

Looking at the white mist floating above the cup, it didn’t look like it could be drank in one chug. He was silent for two seconds before he awkwardly said, “Ummm, can you drink it for me?”

Located in the northern part of Ange Island was the Space Training Base. It became a space research base for Xin and the rest of the world. It was home to aerospace scientists from all over the world, astronauts who received professional training, and volunteers longing for the boundless space.

The Mars Colonization Experimental Base was also located there, but due to the confidentiality of the project, the research center nearly 100 acres in size seemed very deserted. The place wasn’t open to the public and tourists, nor did it accept any interviews. Outside, Celestial Trade stationed soldiers with security measures as strict as a military base.

A Luer sedan stopped at the checkpoint gate. After the soldier confirmed the identity of the visitor, he respectfully performed a military salute then opened the checkpoint.

Jiang Chen entered the experimental base following Kelvin’s assistant.

Standing at the door of the test site, Kelvin constantly glanced at his watch and looked like he had been waiting for a long time. When he met Jiang Chen, he gave Jiang Chen a big hug then stuffed the list in his hand before going to the test field.

The lunar colony base had yet been built, and the Stingray that traveled for tens of millions of kilometers had yet to return, but this didn’t prevent Celestial Trade from spreading seeds to farther places. Most importantly, the ecological circulation system on the lunar base already provided a theoretical basis for the construction of the Mars Colonization Base. Although Celestial Trade had yet to develop spaceships that could travel between Earth and Mars, it could still send a small number of people there first to build an outpost.

It would certainly burn through cash, but with so much money, it was meant to be burned through.

At least Jiang Chen believed that with sufficient cash, it would be much more meaningful to burn money in the sky than to burn it elsewhere.
