The shooting on the streets of Washington caused two deaths and one minor injury. Given the severity of the incident, FBI has intervened in the investigation. The final result was not expected by Jiang Chen, and the shooting was initially classified as black and gang fight.

It is almost foreseeable that when this incident fades out of the public's eyes, the final result will definitely be incomplete. Since the editor-in-chief of the Boston Consortium is now in the hands of the people of the Boston Consortium, there is still room for maneuver.

The next day, Xinghuan Trade held a press conference at its office in Los Angeles. The manager of the US business department (mainly responsible for Xinghuan City investment promotion, etc.) stood in front of the media camera and delivered a clarification speech on the previous public opinion storm.

"Flights between Star Ring City and the Mars Colony will be opened at the end of the year. From the perspective of peace, friendship and common development, we will return American astronauts stranded on Mars. At the fastest time, these astronauts will have to wait until mid-January next year, and the election will be over. Therefore, the matter of Star Ring trade using astronauts to interfere in the US election is purely unreasonable speculation."

"We noticed the previous report of the Washington Post, and we expressed very strange about the arguments of the Washington Post. When did a serious and authoritative newspaper interpret two reports that were not based on any basis by distorting the facts."

"Of course, I understand your national conditions."

"Using the blame and speculation of catching up on the wind and shadows as a means of stolen votes, perhaps this is the so-called US election ecology?"

At the same time, under the coercion and temptation of the Boston Consortium, Jacob Wood also stood up and expressed his apology in shame in the face of the media's microphone and camera.

"I have a great responsibility for that report. I first apologize to Star Ring Trade. I shouldn't quote those two reports that are catching up. As a media worker, I..."

This speech was like a review book, obviously a manuscript designed by the Boston Consortium for him. It seems that he has suffered a lot in the dark room to recite it so smoothly.

No matter what, the public opinion storm caused by the three reports finally came to an end. As for what impact it will have on the election in a few days, we can only see the results of the election before we can clearly see.

After all, the remaining time is not enough to even count a poll.

As for the other person involved, Amy Casim, his whereabouts are unknown at this moment. Whether he realized that something was wrong and fled to the central state to hide? Or is it now that the person has been controlled by Morgan and Rockefeller's people and is locked in a small dark room, it is not known yet.

Turn your eyes from the earth to the Kuiper belt outside of thirty astronomical units.

After half a month of exploration, the researchers on Origin have conducted rough mineral identification of all the asteroid types in the airspace where the starship is located.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations. These asteroids, which were originally considered to be consistent in minerality, had great differences in the abundance of various elements. After learning about this news, not only the astronomy community, but also the physics community, there were considerable earthquakes.

If this phenomenon is universal in the Kuiper Belt, then there is no doubt that the study of the origin of the solar system will have a major subversive discovery. Many scholars and researchers from the astronomy and physics circles have submitted applications to the Star Ring Trade, begging Star Ring Trade to sponsor a scientific research ship, send them and their experimental equipment to the Kuiper Belt, and establish a scientific research base to conduct more in-depth research on those asteroids.

Starring Trade said it would consider these applications seriously, but did not give an answer immediately.

After all, for Jiang Chen and other members of the Earth Defense League that represent the interests of each member state, what they are interested in is not the scientific propositions such as the origin of the solar system, which rises to the universe, but the major discoveries of the Kuiper Belt and the breakthroughs in extra-solar system aerospace technology, which can bring them the benefits.

In the next six months, Origin will try to develop nearby asteroids, establish mining space stations, etc. In particular, collecting tritium and deuterium elements on ice cubes of size and asteroids in the Kuiper Belt to achieve energy self-sufficiency as much as possible, which is the top priority in all scientific research tasks of Origin.

After all, Star Ring City and Kuiper Belt are separated by thirty astronomical units, so it is not easy to travel back and forth.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Chen had just returned home from get off work early from the Future Renmin Building, and Wu Changfeng, a representative of the China-China in the Earth Defense League, came to the door.

After making a pot of tea for the two, Aisha went upstairs as usual and left the living room for the two to talk. As for Natasha and Xia Shiyu, this point has not yet gotten off work.

"We are very interested in the Kuiper Belt, whether it is the resources there or the scientific value." He had already exchanged greetings at the door. When he walked to the sofa, he sat down. Wu Changfeng said straight to the point, "We pay for money, you provide technology, and we can cooperate to build a permanent scientific research station in the Kuiper Belt. Whether it is cultural exchanges between the two countries or the friendship between the people, it is very helpful! I am very optimistic about this cooperation, what do you think?"

There is another reason, Wu Changfeng didn't say it, but he believed Jiang Chen should be able to understand it.

This proposal is definitely not just the opinion of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Putting the national flag on the frontier of the solar system will not only help enhance the self-confidence of the people, but most importantly, for someone, this is a merit that can rise to a historical height.

"I have no problem here," Jiang Chen said with a smile, "but I have to give you a briefing in advance. The cost of building a scientific research and investigation station in the Kuiper Belt is not low. And we plan to build a permanent space outpost in the Kuiper Belt in the name of our alliance, covering all aspects of military, scientific research, etc. I recommend this proposal more than building a separate scientific research and investigation station."

Wu Changfeng lowered his head and thought for a while, and spoke.

"I will convey your proposal to the country and we will seriously consider it."

If the Earth Defense League intends to build a permanent space outpost in the Kuiper Belt in the name of the alliance, then it is indeed unnecessary to build a scientific research and investigation station alone. Moreover, the budget issue that Jiang Chen mentioned is also what he is most worried about.

"General Wu came to me today, just for this?" Jiang Chen said with a smile, "Isn't it enough to call such a thing? It would be a big trouble to go there in person."

"Not exactly," Wu Changfeng picked up the teacup and took a sip, leaned on the sofa relaxedly, smiled, and then said, "Actually, there is another thing that the people above me asked me to inquire about you. But I am a straightforward person. If I can't play with it, I will say whatever I say. Of course, if it is inconvenient, you just pretend that I didn't ask anything."

"You have confessed so much, then I must be talking about everything." Jiang Chen smiled, "Of course, I have a premise here, that is, without involving confidential issues."

"Then I'll just say it," put down the teacup in his hand, and Wu Changfeng looked at Jiang Chen, "What do you think about the US election?"
