I handed over to another world

As the Dyson Sphere Project progresses, the Red Dragon Association's interstellar fleet begins large-scale operations.

The first permanent base in the solar system is the relatively close Mars base, and the overall construction of this base can basically be said to be extremely fast. The entire project was completed on the fourth day when the landing ship entered.

After the preparations for the Mars base were completed, the first group of immigrants officially announced that they would set off for the red planet.

The Red Dragon Association has officially launched the global "Mars Immigration Plan" - this plan aims to recruit the first batch of permanent residents to go to the Mars base, marking the first step of human civilization into the interstellar age.

The Mars immigration plan is no longer just for people within the Red Dragon Association, but for all people around the world.

The Red Dragon Association released a recruitment notice for Mars immigrants through the official media under its control, announcing that it will recruit volunteers from all over the world to become the first permanent residents of the Mars base.

In the announcement, they also listed in detail the conditions and benefits of immigration. The most basic conditions are actually very simple. For example, the first batch of people are limited to being between 25 and 45 years old, in good health, and without a history of major diseases...

In order to meet the basic requirements for the first batch of immigrants, the first batch of applicants are uniformly required to have professional skills, including engineering, medicine, agriculture, ecology, geology and other fields.

After passing a rigorous psychological assessment to ensure that the personnel can adapt to the loneliness and stress of long-term life on Mars, the Mars Immigration Management Committee of the Red Dragon Association will sign a long-term contract with them, committing the personnel to live in the Mars base for at least five years or more.

Immigration itself is for the development of human civilization into outer space, but in order to ensure the enthusiasm of the first batch of immigrants, the Red Dragon Association has specially increased welfare benefits for them - the Red Dragon Association publicly announced that the entire immigration plan will be free of charge. The Red Dragon Association will provide full-time transportation services from Earth to Mars, using the most advanced interstellar transport ships, and the welfare benefits that everyone can enjoy are exactly the same.

As a public benefit, each immigrant will receive a complete start-up supply package, including daily necessities, work equipment and personal protective equipment. At the same time, as the first batch of immigrants, the permanent residents of Mars will enjoy a salary far higher than the average level on Earth, and will also enjoy additional interstellar work allowances.

Immigrants who go to the Mars base and have complete identities in the Red Dragon Association will be given priority to be hired as formal employees, and related jobs in the Mars base will be opened to them first...

The announcement of the Mars immigration plan naturally caused a huge response around the world.

Within half an hour of the announcement, millions of volunteers quickly submitted their applications, obviously hoping to become the first interstellar immigrants in human history.

Because of this, the Red Dragon Association's recruitment website was even paralyzed for several minutes due to excessive traffic - it was not until the Yanhuang artificial intelligence intervened that the entire volunteer recruitment website returned to normal.

However, this plan has also raised a lot of questions and concerns.

The European Union Association (EUA) and the New Federal Technological Association of America (NTA) have again publicly criticized the actions of the Red Dragon Society, citing a lack of transparency and international oversight.

A spokesperson for the EUA said: "The Mars Immigration Plan involves the future of all mankind. The Red Dragon Association should not unilaterally decide who is eligible to become an interstellar immigrant. We call for the establishment of an international committee to jointly supervise the implementation of this plan!"

The usual remarks were still ignored by the Red Dragon Association, because the current EUA is too weak. This meaningless joint verbal attack is irrelevant to the Red Dragon Association. Everyone knows what the EUA is like at this time.

On the other hand, the NTA tried to exert pressure through diplomatic means, requiring the Red Dragon Association to incorporate the Mars immigration plan into the global cooperation framework.

They said in a statement: "Mars is the common wealth of all mankind, and its development should be jointly participated by major associations around the world, rather than controlled by a single organization."

In response to the NTA's statement, the spokesperson of the Red Dragon Association's external department made a direct response. At the press conference, the spokesperson made it clear that "the Mars immigration plan is for the future of all mankind, not for the interests of a certain organization. We welcome the participation of major associations around the world, but the premise is that they must respect the Red Dragon Association's dominant position and abide by our rules."

This was almost an extremely clear statement of his attitude to all those who had doubts. After all, the Red Dragon Association single-handedly completed the construction of the entire base. Even if the Red Dragon Association now left all the space and time to any other association on Earth except him, this association would not be able to operate like the Red Dragon Association within ten years.

Even if we just release some of the interstellar technologies that the Red Dragon Association currently possesses, it would take other associations on Earth ten or even dozens of years to thoroughly study them.

Naturally, NTA fell silent afterwards. Their status at this time could only be described as barely maintaining the posture of an association. The internal disputes and various contradictions could no longer be covered up after their original naval fleet was destroyed by the Red Dragon Association. The united association was even more chaotic.

……

After rigorous screening and training, the first batch of Mars immigrants was officially screened, with only 2,500 people.

After gathering at the agreed time, they began to receive a short training at the Red Dragon Association. Two weeks later, this batch of Martian immigrants officially prepared to go to the Mars base.

The Red Dragon Association did not seem reluctant to let them go and held a grand farewell ceremony for the group of people. The global media even broadcast this historic moment live. The eyes of the world were focused at that moment, and they were all paying attention to this scene.

The immigrants boarded the Red Dragon Association's most advanced interstellar transport ship, the "Dawn", and headed directly from Earth orbit to Mars.

The Dawn is equipped with the most advanced ecological circulation system and gravity simulation device to ensure that the immigrants can maintain physical and mental health during the several-day journey. The entire process will be broadcast live, and any frequency band and personnel in the world can receive the live signal in a natural state and witness with their own eyes how these two thousand people actually travel to a permanent base outside the earth.

After just four days, the first group of Martian immigrants successfully boarded the Dawn and saw the Mars that they had only seen on TV or in science fiction works - a huge red planet. Looking out through the glass windows of the Dawn, everyone could notice the blue square area.

It is said that the area is the Mars Permanent Base built by the Red Dragon Association on Mars. The specifications of the entire Mars base are almost built according to those super-comprehensive bases on the Origin Star. Its specifications are so huge that it can be seen from outer space.

Inside the Dawn, 2,500 immigrants from all over the world pressed against the portholes, staring intently at the gradually enlarging red planet.

The surface of Mars appears a deep rusty red in the sunlight, and the blue square area is particularly eye-catching, like a sapphire inlaid in the red desert.

"Is that the Mars base?"

An ecologist from South America exclaimed in a low voice, her fingers gently touching the porthole, as if she wanted to touch the distant blue through the glass.

“It looks even more spectacular than in the trailer!”

An engineer from Europe murmured to himself, his eyes full of anticipation and excitement.

"I heard that the living facilities there are more complete than those in the most advanced cities on Earth... I can't wait."

A doctor from South Asia said with a smile, holding a manual about the Mars base in her hand, which detailed the various functional areas of the base, "It was the right choice to come here. I am very glad that I chose this place."

"indeed so!"

The atmosphere in the cabin was tense and exciting. The immigrants talked to each other and shared their visions and expectations for the future.

Although they come from different associations and cultural backgrounds, at this moment, they all have a common goal - to become the first permanent residents of Mars in human history. …

"Attention, passengers! Dawn is about to enter the Martian atmosphere. Please fasten your seat belts and prepare for landing."

The in-cabin broadcast sounded, and the voice of the artificial intelligence was calm and clear.

The immigrants quickly returned to their seats and fastened their seat belts. During the initial training, the association's specialists repeatedly reminded them that once they received a broadcast from the ship, they must follow the content of the broadcast, otherwise they would bear all the consequences - it was obvious that this was not a joke.

The Dawn's engine made a low roar, the hull vibrated slightly, and began to slowly enter the Martian atmosphere.

Through the porthole, the settlers can see the details of the Martian surface gradually becoming clearer - red sand dunes, deep canyons, and the blue area that is getting closer and closer.

"Landing procedure initiated, estimated landing time: 10 minutes."

Yan Huang's voice sounded again.

The hull of the Dawn began to tilt slightly, and the thrusters at the stern spewed out blue flames to slow down its descent.

The first group of Martian immigrants on the ship felt a slight sense of weightlessness, but the hull soon stabilized and slowly approached the landing platform of the Mars base.

With a slight vibration, Dawn landed steadily on the landing platform of the Mars base.

The lights in the cabin turned from red to green, and the broadcast sounded again: "Dear passengers, welcome to the Mars base!"

"Please follow the staff's instructions to disembark in an orderly manner."

……

The cabin door slowly opened, and the immigrants couldn't wait to unbuckle their seat belts, pick up their carry-on luggage, and line up to walk towards the cabin door.

The moment they stepped out of the cabin, the scene before them took their breath away.

The interior space of the Mars base is spacious and bright, like a futuristic city - holographic projections are hung on the towering ceiling, displaying various data and environmental parameters of the base.

Outside the transparent dome, the Martian sky appeared a light orange-red, forming a sharp contrast with the blue light inside the base.

"Welcome to the Mars base."

A receptionist wearing the uniform of the Red Dragon Association came forward with a smile, "Please follow me to the residential area. You will start a new life here."

The first group of immigrants followed the receptionist through a long corridor and arrived at the living area.

The design of the living area is simple and modern, and each room is equipped with independent living facilities including bedroom, bathroom and a small work area.

"Your rooms have been assigned. Please find your room according to the number plate in your hand."

The receptionist explained, "We will organize a guided tour of the base later to help you familiarize yourself with the environment here."

The immigrants found their rooms, put down their luggage, and began to look around the place that would soon become their new home.

The room is fully equipped, and there is even a small ecological garden where some plants adapted to the Martian environment are grown.

After a short rest, the immigrants whose numbers were called were summoned to the central hall of the base to attend the first base tour and task assignment meeting.

The head of the Red Dragon Association's Mars base introduced the various functional areas of the base to the immigrants through holographic projection, including the energy center, ecological farm, scientific research laboratory and medical center, and then said: "Your tasks will be assigned according to your respective professional backgrounds."

“Whether you are an engineer, doctor, ecologist or geologist, you will all use your expertise here to contribute to the future of human civilization.”

All the first batch of Martian residents were listening very carefully at this time, and they were all full of great longing for the next Martian creatures.

With the end of the guided tour, the immigrants officially began their life on Mars.

Engineers went to the energy center and began debugging equipment; doctors went to the medical center to familiarize themselves with the facilities there; and ecologists went to the ecological farm to study how to grow more plants in the Martian environment.

As night falls, stars twinkle outside the dome of the Mars base.

Many new Martians stood under the transparent dome, gazing up at the unfamiliar starry sky, their hearts full of expectations for the future.

At the same time, on Earth, in the command center of the Red Dragon Association, Chen Lin stood in front of the holographic screen, watching the real-time images of the Mars base.

A hint of relief flashed across his eyes, but was quickly replaced by solemnity.

"A base on Mars is just the first step."

He whispered to himself, "There are still many challenges to face next."

Yan Huang's voice rang in his ears: "Vice President Chen, the abnormal spatial fluctuations detected at the edge of the solar system have increased again. Preliminary analysis shows that it may be related to the residual energy of the higher-dimensional existence."

Chen Lin frowned and responded in a low voice: "Continue monitoring and speed up the progress of the Dyson Sphere Project... We must prepare for the upcoming challenges."

"Yes."

Chen Lin frowned slightly as he looked at the screen in front of him. This was the first step, and everything seemed to be going well. Next, similar bases on other planets would be opened in the same way. The era of true interstellar development was about to begin. (End of this chapter)
