Chapter 1525 - Stellar System Highway Network (1/2)
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…”
