In the year 2090 of the Gregorian calendar (sorry, one chapter above was written as 2080), in the 17th year of the imperial calendar, when the first wave of stowaways was about to be deported, the second prince of the empire, Zhang Wenliang, led a visiting team and set off at the same time. The car was a ghost. spaceship; in addition to escorting these stowaways to the Earth, it is also preparing to conduct the first official inter-planetary visit since the "separation" of mankind.
Zhang Chengye is now in charge of the still huge Gaoshou Company. Today's Gaoshou Company has begun to lose its prominence on the surface, and is even gradually fading out of people's sight. However, Gaoshou Company is still the backbone of the empire. It can be said that 80% of the empire's power comes from Expert company. Therefore, it seems that the second prince is already busy ascending the throne, but the words of the eldest prince are "authoritative". What is gratifying is that due to their good upbringing, the two brothers did not turn against each other like the princes in history; facing the endless space, we have too many pursuits.
This return visit to the Earth has been prepared for a long time, but there has been no better interface, and the citizens of Venus now generally have an indifferent attitude towards the Earth. It was only when he heard that people had begun to cross the border illegally that Zhang Jingyuan remembered that his hometown not far away had still not recovered after ten years!
In this case, those who happened to be smuggled back along the way also visited the motherland that they had left for ten years. Of course, the second prince's sacrament was about to take place, so he also needed to make his presence felt.
Accompanying him were 500 Imperial regular troops. Although it is said that since the founding of the Chinese Empire. It has never been clearly stated how many troops there are, which has always caused a lot of criticism from citizens. In fact, I dare not say this: because all personnel serving the empire, as long as they come into contact with mechas, aircraft, etc., they are actually the military! And these people number more than ten million. In fact, when the empire was first established, these people were more of a kind of engineer. They produced the most advanced products in the world today, they transported materials for the empire's infrastructure, and quite a few of them had served as instructors - they Educated a new generation of astronauts!
Because there are too many, too fragmented, and the scope is too wide. Therefore, the empire has not clearly disclosed the number of its troops. Even this is deliberately blurred. I really don’t want others to know: after ten years of development, the empire’s population has increased to 400 million; infants and young children account for the majority, and adults are less than 120 million; but with such a population share, it can be classified within the scope of the military. A full 10 million people!
These 10 million people. Master the use of the most advanced machines in the world today. As long as they can, they can immediately transform into elite soldiers. This is an era of rapid change, as long as you master the use of machines. With a little mental training, a person can become a standard soldier in no time.
And now the 500 people following Zhang Wenliang are not only elite mecha troops, but also top space shuttle pilots. Another point that has to be explained is that although with the maturity of flying saucer technology, space shuttles are basically no longer visible in the civilian field on Venus; but this does not mean that space shuttles lag behind this era. In fact, space shuttles still use plasma engines; how could the space shuttles, which also use plasma engines, be eliminated?
The reason for this is that the space shuttle has been eliminated in the civilian field due to its complex design, small load capacity, excessive energy consumption, and transportation costs that are much higher than that of a flying saucer. But in the military industry, generals still love space shuttles, not flying saucers!
The reason is simple. The engine of the flying saucer acts in space. Up to now, this magnetic engine technology is still far from mature, so its speed is slow. The space shuttle is different. Under the action of a powerful and mature plasma engine, it can achieve instant acceleration, rush out of the atmosphere in thirty seconds, and is very flexible. The most important thing is that the empire's new generation space shuttle, named the Goshawk series, combines two types of engines: plasma engine and magnetic engine.
The two engines can be switched freely, allowing the space shuttle to take off and land directly vertically on the ground.
And now the second prince of the empire, Zhang Wenliang, set off with these 500 people, 500 people, 500 mecha elites, and 50 Goshawk series space shuttles. Over the years as the Empire has developed independently, the latest spaceships have also undergone great changes, no longer the oval-shaped submarine appearance they once had.
After ten years, plus nearly forty years of accumulation on earth, everyone finally opened their minds: This is space! It has no resistance! Now, this idea has been absorbed by the Imperial Military Research Department; and this time, it is such a spacecraft that appears.
The power system is still driven by a plasma engine, but the spacecraft body is in the shape of a flat flying saucer, and there are different protrusions in all directions up, down, front, left, and right. Some are radars, some are ferocious muzzles, and some are runways for accelerating the aircraft. There are also laser cannons, magnetic field generating devices, etc.
There's even a mecha launch tunnel! Mecha technology is very advanced, and it would be a waste if it was only used for construction. And when it itself could not provide enough speed, the Empire achieved it through rail technology: launching the mecha directly! Of course, this technology is still being tested. If it is to be put into military use in the future, it needs continuous improvement.
From a distance, this spacecraft has a diameter of more than 800 meters, like a flying saucer, but there is no flying saucer engine inside, and its whole body is like a hedgehog, with various "spikes" scattered all over it.
In fact, during this visit to Earth, Zhang Wenliang not only brought friendship, but also showed his fist. In ten years, the Earth and Venus have become worlds on two levels.
The world is still on the ground, and most people are still facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky. In space, with the withdrawal of the Master Company, it has become a lot more desolate. Only the state is engaged in cold, lonely construction—replication, to be exact. Four huge space bases, two space factories left by expert companies, and a base on the moon; but with the decline of the ground. The country does not have much energy and talent to manage space, so that the current space facilities can only barely operate.
Especially now that there is only one moon near the earth that can mine resources, Mars, which is further away, cannot do anything. This situation has also led the space adventure team to begin to tilt towards Venus. Further leading to the desolation of Earth's space.
In contrast, on Venus at the moment, food, etc., are all mechanized operations, soilless cultivation and other technologies. Almost 90% of the population is setting their sights on space. The vast space has endless opportunities!
Ten years. Let the two planets widen the gap of an era!
Powerful space technology. It took the Ghost spacecraft only 20 hours to reach Earth. Of course, this is also because the distance between the Earth and Venus has increased a lot at this moment, only 40 million kilometers. The entire voyage is nearly 42 million kilometers. The reason why there is so much difference. That's because - the planet has to move during these 20 hours. It is impossible to stay where you are and wait for you. However, with the help of Venus' initial speed, there was not much delay.
If Venus is an emerald, then the Earth is a blue pearl. Venus covered in green. It's so green; because of too much phytoplankton, ships on Venus can't sail. On the earth, it is still the same earth, which looks beautiful from a distance, with white clouds floating on the blue planet. But as he got closer, a faint feeling of worry came to his mind.
Yellow desert, red Gobi, and broken beaches. Through high-powered radio telescopes, you can even see the wailing seals on the seashore. They are enduring the polluted seawater and the gradual depletion of food by humans.
In the past ten years, most of the people on the earth have been walking dead, which has brought a huge burden to the country. The country has no extra energy to do anything else, and all its strength has been to maintain the planet and prevent it from falling into the abyss of degradation.
However, when the whole society has no hope and confidence, how long can such a society last? Smuggling between planets is already possible! So, will there be any rebellion next?
However, it was a visit between countries after all. The second prince Zhang Wenliang ordered the space shuttle to slow down when it was 2 million kilometers close to the earth.
The dark and ferocious Ghost began to slow down and slowly approached the earth. In the distance, I could see the space shuttle team greeting them at the space port. When the Master Company withdrew, it left behind a lot of technologies, including flying saucer technology, plasma engine technology, material technology, mecha technology, virtual reality technology, etc. However, these technologies are so advanced that even if they leave samples, the Republic has not fully understood them yet - of course this has a lot to do with this bad society.
Therefore, these welcoming teams still used the space shuttle shape from more than ten years ago: simple wings, strong thrust, and good technology was used so bluntly.
And the mission from Venus is like coming from the future world. They are also space shuttles. The wings of the 50 space shuttles are like bat wings. They can even be flexibly folded and flapped, and can fire lasers, rail cannon projectiles, etc. from different angles. In addition, these aircraft also have different characteristics, which are modified by pilots according to their own preferences - pilots can freely modify their own combat equipment. It was initially the strategy of the master company, but now it is the military regulation of the Chinese Empire; These strange modifications can often bring unexpected technological progress.
For example, right now, some have a tail that is a hundred meters long - and the plane is only 30 meters in size; some have a nose that is more than 20 meters long - a spear in the starry sky? Some have gleaming blades on their wings; some have as many arms as spiders, but now they are folded; some even put small nuclear power plants in their cars.
These 50 space shuttles are themselves extremely terrifying war machines. Just by looking at their appearance, you can tell that these things are not kind.
Such a scene in space, and later the meeting of the captains of the welcoming team on Earth: it was like a little white rabbit welcoming a visit from the big bad wolf. The power of science and technology is no longer on the same level!
The light blue flames are like colorful streamers, and the faint water vapor makes them a little hazy; however, this kind of dress makes the Venus mission look like heroes coming off the battlefield, unstoppable and inexplicably dangerous; on the contrary Here on earth, they are a bit like ordinary people.
The new generation of national presidents personally went to space to greet them. Just looking at the majestic and high-spirited momentum of the Venus envoys, I felt an inexplicable depression in my heart; to be honest, having such neighbors was really stressful. If Zhang Jingyuan had not personally assured the Republic that the earth was the home of all mankind, Venus would never invade. , maybe the current situation on the earth will be even worse-it is very likely that arms competition will occur under high pressure.
It's just that this is the case. Looking at the increasingly powerful Venus, all the leaders of the earth can only sigh inwardly. In ten years, the entire earth has taken huge steps backward in this space age! The bustling space ten years ago has declined, to the point where there are few civilians except military personnel; and most of those adventurers have chosen to move to Venus. In ten years, most of the adventure team left - because there was no hope; those who stayed were because they failed to pass the test of the Chinese Empire on Venus. The still young second prince Zhang Wenliang and the Chairman of Huaxia, who was already in his old age, met under such circumstances; and this was the first meeting after human beings separated. (To be continued...)
