The next day, Qianshu ran away from Jialongpo to see the Nisto Interstellar Development Group rocket launch base located on the equator.
Xu Yang drove a jet cruiser across the blue sky, flying at the top of the stratosphere. Qianshu stood on the bridge, looking at the endless transparent atmosphere.
"It's just the two of us on the whole ship?" Qian Shu was curious.
"Yes, do you like it? This cruiser will become our main force to protect the planet in the future." Xu Yang drove it across the sky, like a giant beast, bigger than all the aerial giants in history,
It is specially used for space operations.
"Is it also useful against enemies on Proxima Centauri-B?" Qian Shu asked.
"Yes, if they resist stubbornly, we will use cruisers to orbit them and bomb them, and attack them comprehensively," Xu Yang said.
"Many representatives will think that this kind of work is inhumane. After all, there are still people living on Proxima B. Although they are the people at the core of the lighthouse, they are still our kind." Qianshu said.
"The premise is that they are really our kind." Xu Yang was helpless.
The cruiser stopped at the top of the atmosphere, and Xu Yang formulated an automatic navigation plan to return it to the lunar dock. Then he and Qian Shu landed vertically in a small shuttle.
"This is the launch base in the southwest of Tequila Island. On the equator, we can use the speed of the earth's rotation to throw the spacecraft out in a labor-saving way." Xu Yang observed below.
"That's..." Qianshu leaned forward in his seat, almost unable to believe his eyes.
She saw a vast rocket base rising from the ground on the edge of the endless ocean, and on the other end of the base were rolling mountains, with the tops covered with thick snow. This narrow corridor between the mountains and the sea,
It has been completely occupied by factories, warehouses, mechanical facilities and launch platforms. The eye-catching "Nistor Star Development Group" trademark is printed on the ground and can be seen clearly from thousands of meters above the ground.
"Welcome to the rocket launch site, the starting point of our interstellar project." Xu Yang smiled at Qianshu's reaction.
The shuttle landed in the white parking area between the towering buildings. The pneumatic device hissed, causing it to fall gently. The door slid open. Qian Shu covered his nose with a handkerchief to block out the mixed smell of hot metal and rocket fuel.
Xu Yang took a deep breath and felt a little excited. The surroundings were filled with the beeps of moving machines, the greetings of human employees and the jingle of material loading and unloading. There were also many basements and research facilities undergoing engine testing and calibration.
This is one of the most amazing things humans can do in this era: sail to the stars.
Qianshu was confused by such a grand building complex. The wealth and wealth of the wealthy family seemed insignificant in front of such a huge project with the joint efforts of everyone. Even Ye Zixisheng Company did not have the courage to spend money like this.
project.
The rocket and space shuttle was taking off from another launch site 10 kilometers away. Qian Shu witnessed the whole process. He saw the rocket tearing the sky apart at supersonic speeds and emitting a metallic scream along the way, as if issuing a challenge to the sky.
"It's amazing, isn't it?" Xu Yang nodded at the bustling and prosperous projects around him. There are more than 1.1 million human employees and 26 million robots around him, methodically carrying out the largest conquest plan in human history.
"I want to join this plan." Qianshu is now more determined to fly into the star sea. Anyone who has witnessed such a giant structure will have ambitions from the bottom of his heart.
"You are still a child, but your sisters can help you." Xu Yang took Qian Shu to a shooting range in the base.
Boom boom!
When Xu Yang and Qianshu entered the shooting range, the sharp sound of laser shooting could be heard far away. It continued to tear cracks in the metal target, and the noise echoed in the empty shooting range for a long time.
In the distance, a lonely figure stood there, she stretched out her arms, and scorching red beams of light burst out from her eyes, blasting away one target after another!
"You did a great job!" the AI recording played.
"Your destructive power is impressive!"
"That shot was an expert performance!"
"You are amazing! So proud of you!"
"Immaculate!" the voice from the shooting range continued to praise Laila.
Encouraged by the AI voice, Laila continued the test with high morale. She fired wildly with an all-purpose rifle in the shooting range, releasing plasma to burn through the target. Sometimes she used her laser eyes to attack and destroy the imaginary enemy Titan.
Qian Shu looked at the laser-eyed witch intently: "That's..."
"Laila." Xu Yang stopped beside her, very proud, "Your sister."
"The voice at this shooting range sounds so friendly." Qian Shu said keenly.
"Yes, because I actually recorded it. I can't always be with her, so I have to do this. I'm afraid she won't find out in another ten years." Xu Yang said.
Laila turned as they approached, a smile on her face.
But when her eyes saw Qian Shu, her smile suddenly disappeared. Her shoulders tensed, her hands clenched into fists, and a trace of uncertainty flashed across her face.
The three people looked at each other and fell into an awkward silence.
Qianshu glanced at Xu Yang for help, but did not expect this reaction. Does Laila have a grudge against her?
"Meet Qianshu, Laila." Xu Yang smiled.
"Well..." Laila came over and shook hands with Qian Shu calmly, "Hello, 'sister'." She emphasized her tone.
Qianshu took a deep breath and realized a subtle difference. She was Xu Yang's legitimate daughter, while Laila was picked up from the garbage dump. Her arrival here was indeed like a eldest lady arriving to visit a descendant of a concubine.
Thinking of this, Qian Shu changed his tone to a sweet tone.
"Hello, sister~" Qianshu said softly, "I have heard of my sister's name for a long time, and today I saw that she is indeed amazing."
Xu Yang glanced at the shooting range. The entire area there had been turned into rubbish. Laila's combat power was very strong, close to the ruler witch.
"With Laila's help, it will be much safer for us to go to Proxima Centauri-B. No matter what we encounter, we can defeat it." Xu Yang encouraged Laila.
Laila raised her chin, showing a bit of pride. There were many medals of honor hanging on the chest of her witch armor, all of which were obtained in a series of military operations in New Taipei that year.
"There's nothing I can't handle," Laila said firmly.
Her laser eyes are powerful. In terms of attack power alone, the effect is indeed higher than that of a high-level witch! Much stronger than many witches of the same level.
Qian Shu smiled. With Laila's help, this trip is indeed much safer. There may not be anything in Proxima-B that can threaten a well-armed witch like Laila.
"It's okay, you will get to know each other." Xu Yang was very happy that Laila had grown up and was much stronger than before.
He took them to find Bubbles.
Passing through a small road, leaving the base and arriving in the suburbs, the winding gravel road leads to a hidden research institute, nestled under the canopy of emerald trees. Thousands of trees stretch out their hands, and they sway slightly, exhaling the scent of sandalwood and jasmine.
.
"Is there such a secluded place next to the base?" Qianshu was curious.
"Bubbles likes to be alone," said Lila.
Xu Yang stopped at the entrance and knocked on the door: "Bubbles, we are here to play."
There was a rush of rustling inside, and soon, a petite girl came out.
Her green hair was disheveled, her green eyes were downcast, and she folded her hands dignifiedly in front of her. When she saw Qianshu, she hesitated: "Hello, Miss Qianshu."
Her voice was very soft, like mumbling to herself.
Xu Yang smiled encouragingly: "Paopao, this is your sister Qianshu, why are you so polite."
Bubble will never forget the memories of those days in Jialongpo. Bubble lived outside the wall and Qianshu lived in a mansion. Although the wall in Jialongpo was eventually demolished, this memory is still engraved in Paopao's heart.
Qianshu returned the greeting.
"Nice to meet you, Bubbles." Qianshu's voice was gentle and she felt Bubbles' silence. She knew that she should be careful with her words and actions to avoid hurting Bubbles' self-esteem.
Xu Yang smiled: "Paopao studies space science, which is a mysterious art that provides us with valuable guidance. When we venture into the unknown world, her talent will be crucial. She is a particularly good child, Qian
Tree, you can learn more from Bubble."
"Yes, father." Qianshu said softly, pretending to be polite. Her gentleness made both Laila and Bubbles feel ashamed.
Bubble lowered his head, his cheeks flushed: "I just want to do my best to help."
"We are all like this." Xu Yang patted her, "Soon, the most important member of our team will arrive, and by then we will almost be able to expedition to Proxima Centauri. Do you all know who it is?"
They nodded tacitly, with happy smiles on their faces, and shouted in unison:
"Xu Cheng!"
…
…
After Xu Yang settled the children, he went to the secret archives to check the mysterious message from Proxima Centauri-B.
He sat down at the workbench and gathered his thoughts.
A civilization, an intelligent civilization, obtained a communicator and used the remaining relay station of the Star Gate to send a message here for three years. It was also after that that the Nisto Interstellar Development Group was quickly established to deal with the problem.
This trouble, prepare to launch a rocket to the Proxima Galaxy to find out.
Xu Yang opened the message, took a deep breath, and tried to find some more clues.
No matter how many times he read this message, he felt at a loss. This message revealed the terrible fact that human civilization was not alone in the sea of stars.
What happened to the one hundred thousand lighthouse core elites who were transferred to Proxima-B? Why did they-
Xu Yang clicked on the message again and read the message sent across 4.2 light years. To be precise, it was a blackmail letter:
"Hey!! We caught a lot of you! They all say they are big bosses, but they are not so big now, they are tied up and scared! You have to pay us a lot of teeth! Also!
There’s something shinier! Hurry or we’ll chop them up and eat them!!”
