One month later, the solar system, "Galaxy Passage".
This space channel, which starts from several large shipyards in near-Earth orbit and near-lunar orbit and the only star gate in the solar system, YE-2023, has been officially named the Galaxy Channel. Of course, such a name has humans as representatives of the Milky Way. It also has the meaning of highlighting the star symbol and making the Milky Way a familiar existence to all civilizations.
After all, humans still have ambitions!
Times have changed, and unlike in the past where there were only scientific expeditions, "official" spaceships serving scientific expeditions and diplomacy, and battleships rushing to the front line in formation, today's waterways can be seen everywhere more spacecrafts from the private sector - since last year Since the beginning of issuing space licenses, the Community has issued licenses to more than 80 companies and "individuals" from around the world.
Of course, issuing a license does not mean that the so-called Age of Exploration in the Universe will begin immediately - ships take time to build! As of last year's victory, all the production capacity of Earth's major shipyards, such as Jiangnan Shipyard, Dalian Shipyard and Space Shipyard, had been allocated to warships, and there was no remaining schedule for civilian spacecraft.
However, with the victory of the early space battles, human confidence has greatly increased. Coupled with the formation of civilian spacecraft production lines in other countries and the successful expansion of several major domestic shipyards, in just six months, the number of civilian spacecraft has increased. The number of them increased like a blowout, and they became real "dumplings."
There is no doubt that a civilian spacecraft without a weapon system, especially a main gun system, is much easier to build than a battleship - it is nothing more than modifying the internal layout of a scientific research ship like the Wenxing, and the cost is also due to the large number of By replacing common parts, the cost can be reduced to less than ten digits.
This cost has been reduced to almost the same as that of a 100,000-ton sea freighter in the past.
In the waterway, countless spaceships turned on their navigation lights. In the night sky, it really looked like a Milky Way.
Among these many spaceships, eight spaceships with somewhat weird shapes are particularly eye-catching - from a distance, they look like curved shoehorns.
These eight shoehorn spacecraft are led by the latest Starfinder spacecraft and two supply ships. They call on special permissions all the way to let the civilian spacecraft thousands of miles away in front of them waiting to pass the stargate inspection get out of their way. A channel - of course, this is all controlled purely based on Aita's automation.
Under special authority, the captains of civilian spacecraft can only cooperate.
"It seems that an empty border will be built here in the future."
On the Starship Starship, Peng Xiaofei looked away from the big screen and smiled at Sun Xiaoxiao beside him: "Sister Xiao, have you been out of this galaxy before?"
"No, but I heard that Dong Xuanxuan mentioned the Star Gate thing. It wasn't so troublesome before." Sun Xiaoxiao crossed her legs, holding coffee in her hand, looking longingly at the slightly blushing depths ahead - —There is the legendary singularity, the Stargate.
Of course, these are simulated by the display screen and are actually completely invisible to the naked eye.
In front of the star gate, the six original Miantian ships were already widely separated, like open petals.
In front of one of the Sky-Building Ships, parked were two inter-system spaceships called Wenyue, which did not have the ability to travel through wormholes.
The two Wenyue ships stayed here to perform final inspection tasks. On the one hand, it is necessary to check whether these spaceships have any violations, on the other hand, it is necessary to conduct safety inspections on these civilian spacecrafts - after all, there is a stargate in front of them, and these civilian spacecrafts are manned spacecrafts, and they carry many people. Quite a few. If something goes wrong, the impact on the entire "space navigation" enterprise can be imagined.
But this means that the speed of the spacecraft passing through the wormhole has slowed down.
"Then this is the first time for the two of us to get on the sedan chair." Peng Xiaofei chuckled: "I've never been out before - by the way, Sister Xiao, what have you been doing these past few years?"
Sun Xiaoxiao is a new member who joined the team with Ye Ming. Well... In terms of establishment, she is engaged in logistics and finance, but in fact, she does the same thing as Dong Xuanxuan, such as booking train tickets, hotels, and fast food. Do odd jobs and also act as a cheerleader.
Later, the team won the game, and Sun Xiaoxiao got a place to study in graduate school. After graduating from graduate school, it is said that he traveled around a lot, and finally entered JiZhi Technology, and even went to Africa - and Peng Xiaofei was already there at that time He went to the moon to preside over the construction of the base, so the two didn't have much interaction.
It was a coincidence that she and Peng Xiaofei were together this time. She was going to serve as the financial director of Jizhi Technology's Blue Star branch, and Peng Xiaofei was going to send the next wave of "shoehorns" to Blue Star to host the inter-galactic wormhole. experiment.
Yes, these spaceships, which have a certain curvature and can become a perfect circle when put together, are the induced wormhole generators that have been delayed for half a year.
In the solar system, it has completed initial experiments with the parent ring located at the L4 Langrange Point spaceport, but there are no conditions for cross-system experiments, so it can only be done with the Blue Star.
Once the test is completed, it will rush to the Karatu Galaxy and build a mobile wormhole in the Karatu Galaxy that can instantly connect to the solar system!
This matter is so big that a big shot must be in charge.
The inspection under special authority was very fast. The two Yaoyue ships only quickly scanned the spacecraft with their detectors and informed them that they could travel through.
…
A minute later, Sun Xiaoxiao looked at the calm coffee, and then looked at the image of the blue star galaxy on the display screen that had appeared countless times on various social media. She was a little stunned.
"Is this the end?"
"Mr. Sun, is it possible that you want some other experiences?"
The person who answered her was the captain of the spacecraft, surnamed Cheng, who was one of the second batch of scientific expedition personnel to enter the moon - in fact, all captains of the current scientific research spacecraft are from the previous batches of spacecraft maintenance personnel.
"Well, I thought it was going to be a little bumpy."
"Hahaha, if there is a bumpy situation or something...then we will be in big trouble." After Captain Cheng finished speaking, he grabbed the communicator and started communicating with the whole ship to inform the ship of its next itinerary.
Sun Xiaoxiao and Peng Xiaofei stopped talking and quietly waited for the spacecraft to land.
Time passed by, and when the Star Finder passed through the thick clouds, a city with not many high-rise buildings but that seemed to be full of vitality came into view among the coastal jungle.
The next moment, the spacecraft landed and the hatch opened.
Ye Ming and Li Dongsheng, who had not seen each other for a long time, stood in the first row to greet the crowd.
…
When old friends and teammates meet, there is naturally endless things to talk about.
Especially Sun Xiaoxiao, she has always been worried about how Ye Ming called Ye Ming "Senior Brother" in order to let her leave early in the study room. Senior Brother".
"Ouch...Sister Sun, do you still remember this grudge?" Ye Ming led the two of them to the hotel. He laughed constantly and was extremely happy as he walked.
Anyone who knows him well knows that he is extremely nostalgic, and since he became a "genius", he has not had many opportunities to make friends with his peers. Therefore, those teammates who were in the last robocon game with him have become His closest friend and companion.
Now, every member of the original team, one by one, has a future beyond ordinary people - the worst one is also the backbone leader of Jizhi Technology. Peng Xiaofei, Li Dongsheng, Dong Xuanxuan and others have extraordinary influence.
In comparison, Sun Xiaoxiao, the only two girls at the time, are now in their late 30s and almost 40s. They just came back from Africa, jumped out of the earth and came to the Blue Star, and they are already considered to be the kind of people who are not very good at "getting around". .
"Of course! How about I call you Academician Ye?"
"Forget it, you might as well call me senior brother."
Everyone laughed.
Sun Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at Li Dongsheng with a smile: "Captain Li, why are you here?"
"Oh, I just sent two people over." Li Dongsheng looked at Sun Xiaoxiao with a smile. He hadn't seen each other for several years, so he joked: "Xiaoxiao, don't you look old? Look now. He still looks like he's in his early 20s."
"Tsk tsk... Captain Li is very good at talking - you said you sent two people here, wouldn't it be your wife? Or the eldest wife and the second wife?"
"Harm! Stop talking, I'm an old bachelor now!"
"Oh...really? I thought I was the only one left." Sun Xiaoxiao looked at Peng Xiaofei again: "Can Xiaofei's children be able to play soy sauce?"
"That must be possible...even the little girl is almost overwhelmed."
"real or fake?"
"You listen to his nonsense, he's only two years old."
A group of old friends walked towards the elevator laughing.
At this time, the elevator door opened, and He Mo and two slightly weird-looking people appeared at the door of the elevator.
Seeing these two people, Ye Ming and Li Dongsheng smiled and nodded. Sun Xiaoxiao and Peng Xiaofei were a little confused, but like Ye Ming and others, they smiled and nodded.
"They wanted to go out for a walk, so I had to act as a guide." He Mo greeted everyone and said with a smile, "Do you want to have a dinner together tonight?"
"We must have a dinner together." Peng Xiaofei and He Mo were old acquaintances, and they smiled and said, "Would you like a bite?"
"You said it's okay, so I will definitely come." He Mo laughed, then raised his wrist and glanced: "When you choose the address and send it to me, I will probably be free in 2 hours."
As he said that, He Mo looked at Grena with a smile: "Miss Grena, is it okay if we go shopping for two hours?"
Since Grena saw Ye Ming, her eyes have never left, and her mind has been rapidly thinking and analyzing the meaning of Ye Ming's actions.
It has been three days since she arrived on this planet called the Blue Star by humans.
During these three days, humans did not have any in-depth communication with them. Instead, they acted as if they were extremely ordinary alien guests. After arranging accommodation for them, they only had very ordinary communication - just meeting and chatting. Say hello and chat a few words when you have time.
Not only that, humans have no restrictions on their movements - except having a guide.
They can go wherever they want, and even said they can go to scientific research studios!
Even further afield, on the incoming spacecraft, humans did not have much control over their actions and just treated them as ordinary passengers.
Frankly speaking, this kind of behavior of humans made her very confused - she originally thought that humans would imprison her, and then rack their brains to ask various questions every day.
Just when Grena was stunned, Crozier next to her suddenly spoke: "Ye Ming, this is how you humans maintain friendship, right?"
Ye Ming's eyes instantly looked at Crozier, and he nodded with a smile without any thought.
"Same as us." Crozier looked at Ye Ming seriously: "You don't look like a low-level civilization."
