The tension in flights and airport runways did not affect Jiang Chen's plan to return from Canberra.

Is it a big deal to be nervous on the runway?

When he reaches his level, even if there is no runway, Koro Island International Airport will find a way to change it. If he takes a step back, he can't change it. His private plane can just use the runway of the Crescent Island military base.

The runway was stopped even An-225, let alone a civilian Gulfstream g650?

Back on Koro Island, five days have passed since the United Nations Outer Space Summit, and it has been a week ago that the first space elevator is successfully opened to traffic. In a few days, passengers on Star Ring City will return to the surface.

Now the star ring city is bare. Apart from an experimental field that uses some Eden technology, only a small area of ​​living space has been cleaned up, which can be seen as about a thousand people. Only thirty astronauts who can stay on the star ring city who are accompanying the space station to work for the star ring trade.

The first thing Jiang Chen did after getting off the plane was to find Kerwin.

The asteroid capture plan has been completed, and eight rocket engines have been shut down and are quietly wading in orbit away from the earth with asteroid with a diameter of 500 meters.

At this time, Kelwin was responsible for preparing for the launch of the Dragon Spacecraft. This was an outsourcing project, which was only 2 million SGD, which was only a drizzle compared to the first two projects he did. The launching step was very simple. Use a robotic arm to hang the Dragon Spacecraft on the outside orbit of the space elevator, and then it was fool-proof.

He handed over the launch mission to his assistant. Kelwin, who had already become skinny and bone-skinned, gave himself a long holiday. He didn't want to do anything. He just wanted to stay on his private island he bought for 10 million Singapore dollars, lie in a wooden house on the beach, and make up for all the sleep he didn't sleep last year.

However, he had not stayed on the island for two days before he was disturbed by Jiang Chen's helicopter plane.

The helicopter's rotor blew the sand on the beach and flew away. Kerrwin climbed up from the beach chair. Seeing that it was Jiang Chen who was coming off the helicopter, he immediately relaxed his eyebrows and smiled. The technology of Star Ring Trade had completely shocked the technician from Mississippi.

If you want to say who he admires the most in the entire company, it is undoubtedly Jiang Chen. Even if it is not because of his immediate boss’ relationship, he can only rely on his far-sighted strategic vision, and he deserves his respect.

"Dr. Jiang, what wind blows you?"

"There is a little problem with the asteroid project. Have you not read the news?" Jiang Chen asked straight to the point.

Kerwin was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

"No, what happened?"

Like most companies, Star Ring Trade certainly cannot lack the Internet public relations department, and public opinion monitoring is its responsibility. Unfortunately, the asteroid capture plan is a confidentiality of the Star Ring Trade. In addition to the relevant personnel of the plan, even the senior management of the group does not know that the space launch center has a plan to capture asteroids.

It was not until the observations of Nasa came out that eight rockets were followed in front of Benu asteroid that the person in charge of the network public relations realized that this matter might be related to his own company.

Jiang Chen talked to Kelwin about the matter on the Internet and asked the project leader for his opinion.

"You can actually see our 'construction site' on the space elevator? This is really..." The viewer's face was amused and crying. Kelwin thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable word to describe this misunderstanding.

The Star Ring Trade used as a propulsion device is not a chemical rocket engine in the traditional sense, but an electric propulsion rocket engine based on the rm-320 rocket engine designed by Jiang Lin, called rm-400.

Electric propulsion means using electrical energy to accelerate the formation of high-speed jets to generate thrust. The application of electrical propulsion technology in the aerospace field actually appeared at the end of the 20th century, but there have always been shortcomings in insufficient thrust and have not been promoted on a large scale. On the timeline of the apocalypse, it was not until the mid-21st century that electrical propulsion technology made a major breakthrough.

Among them, plasma propulsion derived from electrical propulsion technology is used on some engines of the "Zheng He". Its technical connotation is very simple. It is nothing more than the electrons in the ions drifting in the action of cross-perpendicular electric and magnetic fields, and the spacecraft is propelled forward by the ejected ions forming thrust.

However, this technology that seems very simple, is nowadays, even the American Ed Astra Rocket Company, which has gone the farthest in the Rocket Engine Project, has been at the stage of hyping concepts to attract investors into the trap.

This engine has a characteristic, that is, it will not form more obvious tail flames and smoke columns at the tail of the rocket.

Don't underestimate this, it's quite critical. This means that if you don't have to rely on the naked eye, you can only observe this kind of aircraft from the universe at a specific angle or close enough. And if it is on the ground, in most cases, people will only treat it as an ordinary star even if they discover it without paying too much attention.

"Now the outside world speculates that the star ring trade is dragging the asteroid into the Earth-Moon system. Under the hype of those who are interested, a wrong trend has now formed in public opinion. The star ring trade is not a large pile of rich asteroids that are pulled into the Earth-Moon system, but an equivalent of 3 billion tons of explosives."

"This kind of speculation has no scientific basis." Kerrwin said with his forehead.

"That's right, but you can't expect everyone to learn physics and learn to think rationally." Jiang Chen teased.

The "Benu" asteroid capture plan has been successful. Even if you don't consider the dozens of tons of explosives installed on the asteroid, you don't have to worry about any safety risks.

As for why, this is easy to explain. Since "Benu" can be captured by the gravity of the Earth-Moon system, its relative motion speed with the Earth as its reference system has long dropped to less than ten kilometers per second. Even if it really collides with the Earth, it cannot be comparable to the previous power.

This is a headache.

After some discussion, Jiang Chen made a decision.

“Asteroid mining plans begin immediately, and we must change the public’s false impression that our asteroid is not under our control.”

As long as the public sees, the Star Ring Trade not only has the ability to pull this trouble next to the earth, but also has the ability to solve this trouble, and all negative information will be self-defeating. The plan was already done last year, but now it is just a slight adjustment.

After arranging this matter, Jiang Chen did not disturb Kerwin's vacation, and turned around and boarded the helicopter and flew away from his private island.

Looking at the beach wooden house covered with sand and mud, Kerwin's mouth twitched. He would have built a tarmac if he had known.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally gave up the urge to clean himself and called the decoration company. The phone number of this decoration company was left to him by the agent when he bought the villa. Its business scope is not just about decoration, but also about building maintenance, overall cleaning and other businesses.

But in this way, his original plan to take a vacation on the scenic uninhabited island had to be ruined.
