I can't afford to support the ship girl, so I decided to hand myself over

"Yes, you will be worried, right? Similarly, if you are in danger, Icarus, I will be worried, right?"

Icarus fell silent.

After a while, she stretched out her hands, hugged Lexington's waist tightly, and buried her head on her shoulder.

"Master, I'm sorry..."

Chapter 207 Proxima Centauri's Neighbor

『(English) Launch countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1, engine ignition, 0, launch! 』

With the huge tail of the rocket spewing out thick tail smoke, and in the roar of Mr. Niu, the powerful action and reaction generated by the combustion of the chemical engine pushed the rocket to slowly lift off.

The empty launch site was surrounded by media reporters and aerospace enthusiasts from various places.

They stared at the rocket that took off until the attitude adjustment of the rocket was completed. After the command center officially announced that the launch was successful, there were huge cheers from the crowd immediately.

"Dear audience! Dear audience! This is BBT, we can see that Eagle Castle's rocket has been successfully launched! Before the launch, they didn't have much confidence in this launch..."

"Hello viewers, this is your favorite TNN, we can see BBT is doing fake news next to me again, but that's okay, it's a glorious day in Eagle Castle, this is the last time since 1972 After the first Apollo moon landing, 50 years on we have another attempt to land on the moon!"

"The newly researched high-thrust rocket is provided by the Proud Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Fort Eagle, and our three heroic astronauts will land on the moon after completing the scheduled mission!"

The warm golden morning light shone through the window into the bedroom. Lexington sat on the edge of the bed, with black stockings hooked on his fingertips, and lifted them gracefully onto his lap.

Not far away, Sun Xianyun stood with his arms slightly open, letting Miss Belfast straighten his collar.

The TV hanging on the wall is broadcasting the news, and the picture is the Fort Eagle at night opposite Da Huan.

"Sure enough, they couldn't bear it anymore."

Glancing at the live broadcast of the moon landing in Yingjiabao, Sun Xianyun frowned, with a smile in his eyes.

Nearly a month has passed since the short few days of rest.

And it was less than two months since Sun Xianyun hinted that the spies passed all kinds of smoke bombs to the masters behind them.

In such a short period of time, the opponent actually took out a high-thrust rocket, and even started trying to land people on the moon.

"They should have no plans for this before."

Belfast also listened to the excited broadcast of the white female host in the news, with a bit of surprise in her eyes.

"From unplanned to direct manned landing on the moon, it can be done in less than two months. The opponent is so strong?"

"How could there be no plan?"

It was Lexington who spoke.

Dressed neatly, she first picked up the water glass placed on the bedside table, took a sip of water to moisten her throat, came to Sun Xianyun and handed the water glass to him, and after kissing Sun Xianyun on the cheek, she deliberately embraced Belfast Biting her ear, she laughed at the maid's slight anger and said: "Every country has its own cards, especially the top forces on this planet. If it is really necessary, let them urgently build one." There is no problem with rockets to send people into space."

"At least, it's a good thing."

Sun Xianyun gently pinched Belfast's earlobe.

"Commander, don't make trouble. I'm fixing your military cap. Today you are going to discuss a new round of military mutual trust agreement with the person from the opposite side."

Belfast patted Sun Xianyun's hand off, and then said: "Good thing?"

"That's right, it's a good thing. They finally started their plan to conquer space again, instead of just randomly throwing probes into the interstellar space as they did in the past."

Speaking of this, Sun Xianyun couldn't help chuckling.

The members of the Eagle family were somewhat petty, and they chose to come to discuss the agreement when the news of their family's moon landing spread all over the world, thinking that they could give themselves a bit more confidence.

Since when did the invincible Yingjiang actually start to use these petty little thoughts in the face of rabbits?

Shaking his head, after Belfast arranged the uniforms for himself and General Lexington, the two of them left the bedroom in three bodies, just in time to see Astrea, who was trying to steal the breakfast on the dining table, was captured by Nimf. Hands clapped off.

"Δ! No way! The Master hasn't come yet!"

"Ugh..."

Astrea screamed, her eyes lit up immediately when she saw Sun Xianyun and Belfast walking out.

"Hey! Master! Come and eat! Eat, eat!"

This guy, as long as it involves eating, it will immediately become the top priority in her already dull little head.

There is naturally a special restaurant in the commander's mansion, but for breakfast, Sun Xianyun is used to having Belfast bring it to his room every morning to enjoy.

This habit brought three angels together with Chaoge to gather in his room every morning at a fixed time.

It is said to be a room, but in fact it can be called an independent suite. Except for the lack of a kitchen, it has all the rooms that should be in a normal living room.

After breakfast, Lexington stayed in the base to work normally, while Sun Xianyun and Zhang Lili who rushed over left the base and went to the center.

In the next few days, he will work with other colleagues to discuss the signing of a new agreement with the delegation of Ying Jiang and Mao Zi.

Although he was the plenipotentiary this time, the state still arranged a lot of assistants for him. After all, this was Sun Xianyun's first contact with a similar job, and the age problem always existed.

It's just that both Sun Xianyun and Mr. Yang believe that Sun Xianyun can grow up quickly with just a little experience.

This can be seen from the fact that during this period of time, the affairs of the Space Force were handled in an orderly manner under the final decision of Sun Xianyun.

After Sun Xianyun left, Lexington also started daily work.

The construction progress of the new batch of three starships is gratifying. Although some construction resources have been diverted to conventional engineering ships after the delivery of the Belfast and Chaoge, the construction speed has slowed down, but it will not be long before the Space Force Three new ship girls will be added.

At the same time, the design of four conventional destroyers has also been completed, and preliminary preparations for construction have begun.

According to the national plan, when the construction officially started, the virtual reality technology developed from Synaps's dream technology can also be officially delivered. The progress can be so fast, thanks to the help of scientific research AI.

【Red Queen】

This artificial intelligence that Sun Xianyun once handed over to the country, now its source code has basically been thoroughly understood by the group of geniuses in the scientific research institute through sleepless research, and a series of secondary artificial intelligence responsible for professional directions has also been quickly developed.

Even the vehicle-mounted central control system of the latest anti-gravity floating vehicle is also equipped with a certain intelligent AI auxiliary system.

This system is very different from the new energy vehicle intelligent driving system that a guy who has been clamoring to immigrate to Mars all day long is like a mature adult and a newborn child.

With the relevant technologies currently mastered by the country, if the scientific research ship that once detected Proxima Centauri is built again, then it is entirely possible to let that ship stay there for in-depth research and analysis, instead of just collecting various data and bringing it to the world. Are you coming back?

"Speaking of Proxima Centauri... I don't know how the research on the alien data brought back from there is going..."

Resting his chin with one hand, Lexington couldn't help but look out of the window.

Chapter 208 Proxima Centauri Just Wants to Make Friends! ?

The scientific research ship that explores Proxima Centauri was originally built to test the jump engine.

The exploration of the neighboring stars is just a incidental thing, after all, no one expected to find the existence of extraterrestrial civilization there.

Therefore, the scientific research ship did not carry too much self-discipline research equipment.

However, after returning to Earth, in line with the principle of making the best use of everything, this scientific research ship was remodeled and many modules were upgraded.

Now, it is running around in the solar system. It completed the preliminary exploration of Mars some time ago, and it is in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

According to the plan, it will do its best to analyze the asteroid belt that isolates the inner and outer layers of the solar system for a long time to come, explore the distribution of various exploitable resources, and prepare for the upcoming large-scale space mineral mining. prepare.

Lexington flipped through the latest exploration report, and found that even if the exploration has not been completed, the storage of various minerals that have been identified so far is quite gratifying.

All kinds of resources that are rare on Earth are extremely abundant in the asteroid belt.

There are even a large number of ice cubes that are completely composed of crystallized water. Some scientists speculate that the water on the earth may largely come from these celestial bodies composed entirely of ice in the asteroid belt.

Now the water for the lunar base no longer needs to rely on the Earth 283 supply and the self-circulation of the lunar base, but directly let the engineering ship go to the asteroid belt to drag those huge ice blocks that can easily reach hundreds of tons.

Of course, even if all kinds of resources are abundant, asteroids composed entirely of gold and other elements like the nonsense in some science fiction works do not exist.

Even looking at the whole universe, it is estimated that it is impossible-a metal like gold can only be born in a small amount after the death of stars and the explosion of supernovae.

Every gram of gold represents a grand firework brought to the whole universe by an originally bright star at the end of its life.

If you think about it this way, even with the illusory concept of "romantic" as the standard, gold has crushed diamonds.

As for the most numerous elements in the universe, hydrogen and helium are indeed the first.

As the country becomes more and more transformed into an interstellar civilization, the importance of various precious metals such as gold will increase linearly.

In addition to being a financial anchor, for an interstellar civilization, gold has a greater role in various industries. It is an extremely important industrial raw material.

Thinking of the rising gold price during this period, Lexington's jewel-like blue eyes were stained with a smile.

There are still many smart people.

Putting his right leg on his left leg, taking off his high heels, and only hooking it gently with his small and cute black silk toes, Lexington swayed, took a sip of the black tea beside him.

Suddenly, the red landline on the desk on the confidential line rang.

Picking up the microphone on the landline, Lexington said softly, "I'm Lexington."

"Okay, I see, come right away."

After putting down the phone, he put on the high-heeled shoes hooked to his toes again, and kicked him lightly. Then Lexington got up and left the office with the sound of pattering footsteps.

"commander?"

Belfast, who was walking to the door of the office with a document in his arms, saw Lexington walking out with doubts in his eyes.

"Beffa, there is an urgent meeting that I need to attend. You put the documents on my desk first, and some documents that you have sufficient authority have also been approved on my behalf."

"Okay, Commander."

Belfast nodded gravely.

……Dividing line……

center.

The meeting room with the highest confidentiality level.

"In the past time, we have assembled the best linguists and other related professionals in the country, and finally succeeded in completely deciphering the text of the alien civilization we discovered on Proxima Centauri."

At the front of the conference room was an excited expert.

He doesn't look very old, less than 40 years old, but he is the leader of this deciphering working group.

"Although human beings on Earth have different civilizations and different origins, most mainstream civilizations have always communicated with each other, so although everyone's language system is different, it is not difficult to understand. But alien civilizations are different. We don’t know anything about them, they were a civilization born in a very different environment than ours, and as an important part of civilization, the language and script and the composition of all known languages ​​​​on the planet are also very different.”

"In this case, it was extremely difficult for us to decipher, but the other party is really...really very pro-foreign civilization. They even attached a lot of audio information to their detectors. Through these audio, we not only accelerated In addition to the deciphering work, even now there are several talented comrades in our team who can already speak each other's language!"

Having said that, the expert in charge of the explanation took a deep breath and started to play the PPT.

"Gentlemen, according to the audio information, they call their race [Brog], and the experience of their race is very wonderful. The probe discovered by Exploration 1 was used by the other party to actively contact other civilizations. It records The various artistic achievements of the Blog civilization, including music, film, literature, etc., and even their history! Yes! History, their history is too unbelievable."

"According to the Brog civilization itself, they have been scattered in the jungle of their home planet in the long past."

"Until one day, they suddenly received a radio communication from a distant alien star. They were stunned by the content of this communication: it was full of friendship, movies, music, culture and other things they had never heard of!"

"From that time on, the Blog civilization realized the lack of their own lives, and they even picked a noun from this communication to rename their race, which is Blog."

"After that, the Brog people began to develop space technology with all their strength, for...the reason was to find the sending civilization of that communication, and then make friends with them..."

Mr. Yang frowned wildly.

make friends?

Rubbing his temples, the old man said, "Should I say naive? Or confidence in my own strength?"

"We were very vigilant because we discovered the existence of the other party, but it turned out that the other party was just a...neighbor who was eager to make friends?"

"However, this is also a great thing. As neighbors, we naturally hope that the people living next to us are friendly rather than hostile."

PS In this book, the world where the protagonist lives has the game Qunxing, but in addition to the main setting, the various alien civilizations originally set in the game itself are different from those in reality, there are no bloggers, etc., so the country I will not know everything in advance just because I have studied the game Qunxing, I hereby inform (patch).

Chapter 209: The Martian Rescue?No, it's Moon Rescue

PS. To make a statement, Sun Xianyun’s universe in this book is not a dark forest like "Three-Body Problem", but a bright grassland like "Stars". Easily achieve various forms of diplomacy, commerce, cooperation and even war, including Zaun-style mutual greetings to each other's relatives.

No chain of suspicion - because everyone can travel faster than light (whether it's flight or communication).

...the following text...

"Speaking of which, do the probes of the Brog civilization carry the content of the radio communication that they said changed their race?"

Lexington asked.

"Sorry, not this one, because of the technical limitations of the opponent's probe, they were unable to carry such a huge amount of information to the probe at the time of launching this probe."

"By the way, there is one thing that makes us very strange."
