Chapter 124 Say City

Then they boarded a military shuttle, which was similar in size to a large passenger plane on Earth, and in fact, this thing could also be used as a passenger plane.

Because unlike ordinary spaceships, this shuttle has the ability to take off and land on the surface of a planet, even the earth with the largest mass can land on it.

Just after the spacecraft left the spaceport, Say saw a ring structure, and the shuttle began to approach it and slow down.

The smooth metal surface of the ring elongated the starlight into streaks of light, which also reflected the deformed image of the shuttle.

"What is this?" Sai asked curiously, looking at the ring-shaped object in front of him.

"Electromagnetic accelerator, it will use electromagnetic force to accelerate the spacecraft." The presidential secretary explained.

"It's so short, how fast can it be accelerated?" Sai asked suspiciously.

"Sorry, my expression is not accurate. This is only a part of the electromagnetic acceleration track. There are 270 such accelerators in the entire set of tracks."

"In order to prevent the spacecraft from colliding with the accelerator, the entire acceleration trajectory is aligned by lasers, so as to ensure that the accelerated spacecraft walks in an absolute straight line."

"However, according to the Fleet Constitution, any wall-facing plan cannot cause a major blow to the fleet economy. I hope you can understand. After all, it is not easy to survive in the wilderness of the solar system." The other party said.

Because Say is lucky, Mars is only 5000 million kilometers away from Jupiter at this moment, and they arrived at Mars in less than five days.

At this time, it may be because they have entered the orbit of Mars and the signal has stabilized, so a message window pops up suddenly, and the person inside is the President of the Solar System Fleet.

Unlike in the past, Mars now relies on super facilities such as the Huaguo Sun, and has undergone a great terraforming transformation. Humans do not need to rely on any protective equipment to operate on the surface of Mars.

However, space cities cannot form armed forces, and must pay taxes to the solar system fleet according to law, and the solar system fleet needs to assist each space city in economic and military aspects.

"What do the Trisolarans think about this?" Say was not too puzzled about this matter, after all, the solar system fleet itself evolved from an army.

So even in low-Earth orbit, Sai can see the bright light on Mars, which is the light pollution caused by giant cities.

"However, this ultra-long electromagnetic acceleration orbit is responsible for cross-planetary voyages, and we will accelerate through it when we go to Mars later."

When flying to the next space city, Zhang Beihai began to introduce Say to the internal situation of the fleet and what happened in the past.

Of course, in addition to these standard structures, there are also some space cities with special structures, such as spoke-shaped and pole-shaped space cities that focus on industry and agriculture.

"Yes, in fact, the population of the solar system fleet is relatively small. The population of the other two fleets is larger than ours, let alone the earth, where there are more than 400 billion people."

"So there are 13 billion people in the solar system fleet?" Say asked. 13 billion is an astonishing number. Half a century ago, only China and India had more people than this.

"Thank you, the reason why I say this is because there have been no Wallfacer activities in modern society for a long time, so some people may not be so supportive of you..."

He was an old Asian man, and behind his office stood a row of flags from all the space cities under the fleet, none of which Sai was familiar with.

Say also knew at this time that because of the distance in space, the solar system fleet is a federal political body, and each space city under it enjoys certain autonomy, such as the right to make laws and so on.

In the following period of time, Zhang Beihai and the others took Say to several large space cities. In addition to the cylindrical ones, there were also large-scale space cities with spherical structures and ellipsoidal structures.

"Welcome to Say City. This is the largest giant city on Mars. It is also the capital and commercial center of the solar system fleet. There are 1.5 million people living in Say City."

While they were talking, the shuttle landed at a space launch port on the surface of Mars. Through the window of the spacecraft, Sai saw the towering skyscrapers and space elevators outside.

"I know that the plans I will release in the future will not cause a major blow to the fleet's economy, and I have never released plans that are destructive to the economy." Say said.

"The current fleet of the solar system is temporarily a military government, because compared to the terrestrial planets, the industrial base of these four giant planets is limited, and the local environment is harsh, so we need some tough measures to survive."

"Welcome to the new era, Ms. Say, I am glad to see that you are still so young. You will always be the supreme commander of the future history school, and the solar system fleet will do its best to help your plan."

"And the reason why the solar system fleet is the most powerful political body is because of its advantages in technology and immigration. There are many elites in the political and scientific circles who admire you and choose to immigrate here."

But can such a society continue to attract Trisolarans like Together?
"Don't worry, although the solar system fleet adopts a militarized management model, the core guiding ideology is still based on your Sayism, which is enough to provide a positive example for Trisolaran civilization."

"That's fine." Sai said reassuringly.

In addition to the 40 large space cities that each house tens of millions of people, there are also a large number of small and medium-sized space cities, as well as space stations mixed in the group of large space cities.

And Mars is the capital of the solar system fleet, where various administrative agencies are set up, and the solar system fleet will directly manage Mars, Mars satellites and Mars space cities.

Then they passed through an electromagnetic acceleration orbit and began to sail to Mars, which is the current capital of the solar system fleet.

"Mars is currently the most prosperous area of ​​the solar system fleet. There are 11 billion citizens of the solar system fleet living here, which is six times faster than the population of Jupiter and Saturn."

But Say knew this president. Before Say hibernated, he was the chief of staff of the Asian Fleet and a senior member of the Future History School.

"This city is indeed very prosperous." Sai said with emotion. In the past half century, the achievements of the Solar System Fleet are indeed extraordinary.

Because before she hibernates, there is no Sai city on Mars, and no one will name the city that way.

"The city of Say is located on the equator. Not only is the temperature just right for human survival, but there are also a large number of space elevators, which constitute a well-developed trade. Jupiter's fusion fuel and Mars' industrial products complete transactions here."

"The construction of Mars is part of the economic circle project around the solar system. We have modified the environment of many planets and satellites to reduce the cost of developing them." The presidential secretary explained.
