Chapter 167 Global Conference
In front of the Conqueror, how far behind has humanity fallen?
For example, the Conqueror has a number of scientific research laboratories with various functions.
But due to the loss of data, even someone as strong as Ah Dai was unable to recover the systems that had lost control of the software.
To sum it up in a simple sentence, these functional areas are currently just for show, without matching software, they cannot be used by humans.
With such disappointment in mind, Fan Ren could only order Ah Dai to control the spacecraft and set off on the return journey with a full fuel tank of liquid metallic hydrogen.
Inside the command room, everyone was silent.
This trip to Jupiter is novel but boring.
What was new was that they saw the outer atmosphere of a gaseous planet that had never been seen by humans before, presenting a colorful and strange scenery.
See the endless atmosphere and ocean made up of hydrogen, as well as the metallic hydrogen at the bottom.
The only pity is that even with the Conqueror's hull structure, it is still unable to reach Jupiter's core.
The pressure there has far exceeded the limit that the hull can withstand.
The boring thing is that apart from the scenery at the edge of the atmosphere, the rest of the journey is relatively dull. It is a monotonous transparent space. Even the liquid metallic hydrogen at the bottom is just a color similar to the ocean.
Being in that space makes one feel even more empty and depressing than being in the dark universe.
Half a month later, the huge body of the Conqueror slowly arrived 200 kilometers away from the Blue Star hub.
Due to its huge size, the space hub has not built a separate docking port that can suit its size.
The dark green landing port on the belly slowly opened, and the Peregrine slid out first, followed closely by the Swift.
On there, several scientists will take the liquid metallic hydrogen collected this time back to Xinghai's materials laboratory to study and analyze it.
"Boss, I have already notified Mr. Ye. We still have two hours to arrive at Kyoto Airport. The meeting will start in about three hours. You can still take a break."
The bow of the Peregrine was pointing directly towards the Blue Planet, and this time it was not heading to the space hub.
In the cockpit, Fan Ren, who had just come out of the Conqueror's nutrient solution, had a radiant look on his face, without even a trace of fatigue.
"No need. Mr. Ye still refuses to enter the hibernation chamber?"
"Yes, Mr. Ye asked me to tell you that he will insist on standing guard for the last time."
Hearing this answer, Fan Ren couldn't help but feel that the burden on his shoulders became heavier at this moment.
"Boss, have you forgotten? As early as seven years ago when Xinghai began to recruit graduates from the School of Aeronautics, Daxia made major reforms in this regard. Since then, the classification of pre-university studies has become more specialized, removing many subjects that are more exam-oriented. Now, students graduating from various majors have a deeper understanding of related majors. You are not alone in your struggle."
It's rare that Ah Dai now starts to comfort others.
Fan Ren smiled and no longer fell into the emotion just now.
Two hours later, the Peregrine arrived at the Kyoto Spacecraft Airport, a special airport specially designed for use by spacecraft that need to travel urgently between the ground and the air.
It doesn't cover a large area, but it is very close to the center of the city.
After the spacecraft landed and the hatch opened, Dan Wu was the first to leave the cabin, followed by Fan Ren.
Even though the security work at the airport was very good and you could get on the bulletproof car parked next to it directly after getting off the spacecraft, Shan Wu still did a meticulous job of security. Inside the car, 63-year-old Liu Shengzhan had gray hair, but he was very energetic. He followed Shan Wu until Fan Ren got in the car, his eyes full of admiration.
As the close protection for nearly seven years, Shan Wu often played the role of a transparent man, but he never let his guard down.
"Liu Shuai, why did you come here in person?"
"Driving, you have been working so hard to fly all over the space. Each 'business trip' takes a month or so. It is only right for an old man like me to give you a ride."
Fan Ren smiled awkwardly, he didn't think it was hard at all.
After all, he was the one who caused the trouble, so he should take the responsibility.
"General Liu, in the next 30 years, we may not vigorously develop the space fleet and the space army. I plan to leave it for 30 years, when our current science and technology have been greatly improved, before discussing it again."
Fan Ren briefly mentioned the content of his speech at the meeting to Liu Shengzhan, and then he saw Liu Shengzhan's expression darken for a moment.
Liu Shengzhan knew what Fan Ren meant. In the next 30 years, Daxia would invest heavily in basic scientific theories and various cutting-edge technologies.
If we build a large fleet to train space forces at this time, we will most likely be eliminated in 30 years.
"Liu Shuai, please don't misunderstand."
When Liu Shengzhan heard this, his eyes lit up. This kid had something to say.
"New warships still need to be designed and built, and they will use a lot of the top technologies produced by our laboratories. But there won't be too many of them.
The purpose is mainly to verify the technology and prepare you for the combat methods of new future spacecraft and possible future space battles.
The development of a fleet is not a one-day or two-day process. Within 30 years, I personally prefer that you first delve into the theory of space warfare, and at the same time equip a small batch of top-notch warships produced by the laboratory. You will be responsible for the combat training of these warships."
After he finished speaking, Liu Shengzhan finally returned to his initial energetic state.
As long as there is no complete stagnation, then he, as the military commander, will have his place to shine.
He immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I understand what you mean. This is our previous development idea. We have been constantly developing new warships to verify their technical performance, and equipping the Space Force with small batches to conduct theoretical research on future space warfare. Don't worry, the military will not hold you back."
As they were talking, the sedan drove into the palace and headed straight to the venue.
This conference was huge not only in size but also in scope.
Fan Ren followed Liu Shengzhan into the meeting room. Immediately, more than a hundred heads of state of various countries, with different skin colors, wearing suits and accompanied by their deputies, looked in his direction.
This is a global conference.
Daxia will no longer conceal the possibility of an extraterrestrial civilization crisis 200 years from now.
At the same time, Daxia will announce the decision it has made to the heads of state of various countries.
Inside the conference hall, Fan Ren unknowingly found himself standing in the same position as Liu Shengzhan, and walked straight to the conference podium at the front.
There, Ye Rongshan was gazing at him kindly.
