I handed over to another world

Li Ling's words made the engineers present look surprised. Although they knew that Li Ling was the chief engineer of the project team and had outstanding technical capabilities, they did not expect that he had such a legendary experience.

In particular, they found it incredible that Li Ling had served in the Comman Empire with President Chen Lin.

"Mr. Li, your experience is too legendary!"

A young engineer couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder you were so natural when talking to President Chen just now, it turns out you two have known each other for a long time!"

Li Ling smiled and waved his hand, saying, "That's all in the past... President Chen is now the president of the Red Dragon Association. He shoulders the future of the entire association. All we old comrades can do is to do our best to do our job well and support all his decisions."

"But speaking of which," another engineer asked curiously, "Engineer Li, when you and President Chen were serving in the Koman Empire, did you ever think that he would become the president of the Red Dragon Association in the future?"

Li Ling shook his head and smiled: "Who could have thought of it at that time? President Chen was just an ordinary soldier in the army at that time. Although he had outstanding abilities, no one expected that he would achieve such great success later..."

"But he showed extraordinary leadership and decisiveness at that time, and everyone in our team admired him."

After Li Ling finished speaking, he glanced around and whispered, "In fact, no one knew that President Chen would end up like this. At that time, we were a team of seven or eight people patrolling, and President Chen was not very noticeable in the team. None of us noticed what was different about him..."

"Then do you think that President Chen has changed a lot now compared to before?"

Someone continued to ask.

Li Ling pondered for a moment and said slowly: "There must be changes... After all, the responsibilities he shoulders now are completely different from before."

"But his essence has not changed. He is still the decisive, calm and far-sighted man. It's just that now he has more things to consider and the burden on his shoulders is heavier."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Everyone can see Chen Lin's status and influence in the Red Dragon Association. Every decision made by the association's top management affects the future of the entire association and even the direction of human civilization.

They can only see existence of this level in various news on weekdays, and it is incredible to see the real person today.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this."

Li Ling clapped his hands and drew everyone's attention back to work. "The production line of 'Xingchi-7' needs to be further optimized, and the cost issue must be resolved as soon as possible. Chairman Chen has high expectations of us, and we can't let him down."

"understand!"

Everyone responded in unison, then returned to their respective posts and continued to work.

Li Ling looked at everyone's busy figures and couldn't help but feel emotional.

The project team he is in is not only aiming to produce an advanced magnetic levitation car, but also to promote the technological progress of the entire Red Dragon Association. For the entire scientific research project team, what they are currently researching is itself at the forefront of the world. After all, is there any existence on the entire earth that can surpass the Red Dragon Association?
……

At the same time, Chen Lin's convoy had left the production base of the maglev car and headed towards the next destination.

Sitting in the car, Chen Lin was still thinking back to the scene when he test drove the "Xingchi-7" just now - the performance and handling of the car really made him very satisfied.

"President, where are we going next? You haven't decided on the next itinerary..."

The secretary general sitting in the front row turned around and asked respectfully that the itinerary had been planned in advance, but Chen Lin made a temporary change, so Secretary General Zhao had no plans.

Chen Lin glanced at the schedule in his hand and said calmly, "Let's go to the Starship Project Team of the Planetary Development Agency. I want to see their progress in person."

"clear."

The Secretary General nodded and immediately conveyed instructions to the driver through the communicator.

The convoy quickly adjusted its direction and headed towards the Planetary Development Agency's starship project team.

Chen Lin leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He knew that the upcoming schedule would be even more intense and busy. The starship project was the key for the Red Dragon Association to move into the interstellar age. He had to personally oversee it to ensure that everything went smoothly.

"I hope Zhang Fengwu won't let me down."

Chen Lin opened his eyes and looked at the scenery outside the window in silence.

……

Half an hour later, the convoy arrived at the Planetary Development Agency's starship project team.

As soon as Chen Lin got out of the car, he saw Zhang Fengwu coming towards him with a group of engineers.

"President Chen, welcome to our inspection!"

Zhang Fengwu said with a smile on his face.

Chen Lin nodded, glanced at everyone present, and then said, "Director Zhang, how is the progress of the starship project?"

Zhang Fengwu immediately replied: "President, the starship project is currently progressing smoothly. We have completed the main construction of the first super test ship and are currently in the final system debugging. This ship is expected to have its first test flight next month."

"Very good." Chen Lin nodded with satisfaction, "Take me to see it."

"plz follow me."

Zhang Fengwu made a gesture of invitation, and then led Chen Lin and his party towards the starship construction base.

Walking into the base, Chen Lin was immediately shocked by the scene before him - on the huge construction platform, a huge starship was standing quietly in the huge venue, the silver-gray hull was shining with metallic luster under the light, and the thrusters on both sides of the hull emitted a faint blue light. This super starship was actually the first super planetary giant ship that the Red Dragon Association started to build after Chen Lin announced the entry into the interstellar age.

Because of its special nature, this starship was not built in orbit in outer space, but was designed in the ring-shaped technology zone south of Shangdu - after all, Shangdu has the largest number of aviation research teams and expert personnel in the entire Red Dragon Association.

Chen Lin stood on the edge of the construction platform, looking up at the huge ship in front of him, and couldn't help but feel shocked.

The scale of this starship was far beyond his previous imagination. The silver-gray hull flashed a cold metallic luster under the light, like a sleeping giant beast, ready to take off at any time and rush into the vast universe.

The ship is several thousand meters long and has an overall streamlined design. The surface is covered with a nano-level protective coating that can automatically repair minor damage and maintain the stability of the ship in extreme environments.

The thrusters on both sides of the ship emitted a faint blue light. That should be the core part of the antimatter engine. Through the annihilation reaction of antimatter and matter, it generates huge energy, driving the starship to travel at high speed in the universe.

"President, this is our 'Dawn' super planetary battleship."

Zhang Fengwu stood beside Chen Lin, with pride in his tone, "It is not only the first interstellar battleship of the Red Dragon Association, but also the most advanced spacecraft in human history." Chen Lin nodded, his eyes still on the starship: "Take me in to have a look."

"Okay, President, please follow me."

Zhang Fengwu made a gesture and then led Chen Lin and his party towards the entrance of the starship.

The entrance to the starship was located in the middle of the ship. A huge hatch slowly opened, revealing a spacious passage inside. Soft blue light bands were inlaid on both sides of the passage, guiding the direction of travel.

As soon as Chen Lin stepped into the starship, he immediately felt an atmosphere of futuristic technology.

"President, this is the starship's main control channel."

Zhang Fengwu walked and introduced, "The entire starship adopts a modular design. Each module can operate independently to ensure that it can be quickly repaired or replaced in an emergency."

Chen Lin nodded and looked around. The walls of the surrounding passages were covered with various display screens, showing the starship's data and status in real time.

There is a faint metallic smell in the air, mixed with the scent of some high-tech materials, giving people a feeling of being in the future world.

"President, this way please."

Zhang Fengwu led Chen Lin into a spacious cabin. In the center of the cabin was a holographic projection table suspended, displaying a three-dimensional structure diagram of the starship.

"This is the starship's command center."

Zhang Fengwu explained, "All navigation and combat instructions will be issued from here. The command center is equipped with the most advanced quantum computer system, which can process massive amounts of data in real time to ensure that the starship can make the best decision in any situation. We have optimized a super artificial intelligence, and this AI will assist in driving when the time comes."

Chen Lin approached the holographic projection table, reached out and gently touched the projection. The three-dimensional structure diagram of the starship immediately enlarged, showing the various modules and systems inside.

"How safe is the antimatter reactor?"

"President Chen, don't worry."

Zhang Fengwu replied, "The antimatter reactor uses multiple protection measures to ensure that there will be no leakage or explosion under any circumstances... In addition, we are equipped with a backup energy system. Even if there is a problem with the antimatter reactor, the starship can still operate normally."

Chen Lin nodded and continued to ask: "What about the starship's defense system?"

"The starship's defense system is what we are most proud of."

Zhang Fengwu's tone was filled with excitement. "The surface of the ship is covered with a nano-level energy shield, which can resist attacks from most energy weapons. In addition, we are also equipped with super-energy electromagnetic pulse cannons and particle beam weapons, which can destroy enemy targets at ultra-long distances."

Chen Lin listened attentively, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Not bad, how about the ecological circulation system of the starship?"

“The ecological circulation system is also a key part of our design.”

Zhang Fengwu walked to the control console on the other side and called up the schematic diagram of the ecological circulation system. "The interior of the starship is equipped with a complete ecological circulation system, including air purification, water circulation and food production systems. When the time comes, it can ensure that the crew can survive on the starship for a long time without relying on external supplies."

Chen Lin looked at the schematic diagram carefully and couldn't help but sigh at the advancement of technology. When he was at Anyun Base, the starship did not have such advanced technology.

“How does the food production system work?”

"We have adopted the latest vertical farming technology," Zhang Fengwu explained. "There are multiple agricultural cabins inside the starship, which use artificial light and nutrient solution to grow various crops. In addition, we are equipped with protein synthesis equipment that can convert organic matter into high-protein food to ensure the nutritional needs of the crew."

Chen Lin nodded, and then asked: "What is the speed of the starship?"

"The starship's top speed can reach one-tenth the speed of light."

Zhang Fengwu replied, "Through the combination of antimatter engines and quantum propulsion technology, we can cross interstellar distances in a short period of time. In addition, the starship is equipped with a space jump device that can perform short-distance space jumps under certain conditions, further shortening the voyage time."

Chen Lin was shocked when he heard this. Space jumping technology has always been the technology that mankind has dreamed of. He did not expect that the Red Dragon Association has already put it into practice.

He asked, "How stable is the space jump technology?"

“This is still in the testing phase.”

Zhang Fengwu answered truthfully, "However, we have conducted many simulation tests, and the results show that the success rate of space jumps is over 95%. In order to ensure safety, we will conduct actual tests in the first test flight."

Chen Lin nodded, realizing that the following content might not be his strong point, so he said to Zhang Fengwu: "Take me to see the living area of ​​the crew."

"Okay, President, please follow me."

Zhang Fengwu readily agreed and led Chen Lin directly through the command center to the living area of ​​the starship.

The design of the living area is full of futuristic sense. The spacious cabin is equipped with various living facilities, including rest cabins, entertainment rooms, gyms and medical centers. Each rest cabin adopts an intelligent control system, and the crew can adjust the temperature, humidity and light in the cabin through voice control or gesture operation.

"President, this is the crew's rest cabin."

"Each rest cabin is equipped with virtual reality equipment, so crew members can enter the virtual world and relax when they are resting."

Chen Lin walked into a rest cabin, reached out and touched the wall, and the wall immediately became transparent, revealing the starry sky outside.

“Isn’t this a real scene?”

"Of course not. This is a picture that changes automatically according to everyone's needs. You are thinking about the starry sky now, so what is displayed here is naturally the starry sky."

Zhang Fengwu smiled at Chen Lin and said, "We attach great importance to the mental health of the crew, so we have incorporated many humanistic elements into the design of the living area."

“This design is good, very good.”

Chen Lin nodded and walked around the living area. He had to admit that the design here had far exceeded his expectations. Many of the concepts at Anyun Base were obviously no longer applicable. The new structure of the new starship made Chen Lin sigh.

"How much is the total budget for a starship like this?"

He asked Zhang Fengwu beside him, "The first ship must be expensive."

Zhang Fengwu hesitated for a moment, then said to Chen Lin: "President Chen is right, the price of the first ship is indeed more expensive..." (End of this chapter)
