Let you change the Hongqi h9, not the Hongqi missile vehicle

"Take the United States for example. Those so-called 'ordinary people' who have entered space are actually their country's top elites. It's not really a measure to benefit the people."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, and only then did he truly understand the deep meaning of it.

Sure enough, not everything can be blindly followed.

Longguo has always taken the actual situation as its starting point and made decisions after weighing the pros and cons.

Surviving in outer space sounds extremely cool, but in reality, all countries still have many shortcomings in terms of technology.

It is simply not possible to truly support long-term human life in space.

After staying in space for a long time, human muscles will gradually relax and atrophy, bones will become loose, and immunity will drop significantly.

We must also always guard against various types of radiation energy from outer space, which cannot be fully shielded by conventional equipment alone.

Therefore, even if Longguo now has enough strength to build a space city, it will not act rashly.

Because this is not a move that truly benefits the people.

"Mr. Cheng, after hearing what you said, I am inspired. I really think I can give it a try."

Originally, Jiang Chen's mind was full of super engines, and he was fully focused on building a superluminal super engine.

At present, the completion rate of this project has reached 30%, and the progress speed is quite impressive.

As long as the completion rate exceeds 90%, the super engine can basically take shape.

By then, with the addition of special materials and optimized fuselage structure, theoretically speaking, it will not be difficult to build a superluminal fighter, spaceship or supership.

This is the advantage given by the system. Many of Jiang Chen’s algorithms and ideas are derived from the big data analysis provided by the system.

According to Jiang Chen's estimation, the super engine will be completed in another half a year.

In the past six months, in addition to the super engine project, he felt that he could also try his hand at outer space development.

"Oh? Are you really planning to build a space city?" Mr. Cheng asked with a little surprise.

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, then explained his thoughts.

"Yes, I'm serious. It is entirely possible for humans to survive in space for a long time by developing various advanced means of transportation and improving recycling technology."

"At present, the key lies in how to adjust the environmental parameters of outer space, such as air pressure, to ensure that humans can live in space for a long time, safely and healthily."

“I think it’s not out of reach to achieve this goal as long as we address these issues.”

Jiang Chen laid out his thoughts in full.

After hearing this, Mr. Cheng's expression became serious and he nodded slowly.

"Yes, we have always hoped to build the Space City into a major project that benefits the people."

"But given the current level of technology, it is too difficult to achieve this goal."

"It is not easy to create a standard atmospheric pressure environment suitable for human survival in outer space while effectively blocking all kinds of harmful radiation."

"However, if you can really overcome these difficulties, our military will fully support you."

Jiang Chen nodded confidently.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Today, the Star Group founded by Jiang Chen has been operating for some time, but it has been lukewarm and there has been little news coming out.

Compared with the currently famous technology fanatic Mark, he is simply incomparable.

Relying on his profound technical accumulation, Mark has made major breakthroughs in the field of human survival bases in outer space.

Not only did he send his own satellites and scientific researchers to Mars, he also planned to launch a comprehensive exploration of Mars.

Moreover, Mark is unique in rocket recycling technology, providing a solid guarantee for space travel.

Many of the technology companies he founded have now become leaders among global private enterprises, and even dominate their industries.

In contrast, Jiang Chen's Star Group has not yet launched any remarkable technological achievements.

Although many people have high hopes for Jiang Chen and firmly believe that under his leadership, Star Group will become the world's top technology company.

But trust alone is not enough, we need to take real actions and produce results.

Four or five months have passed, nearly half a year, and Star Group has made no progress, not even a decent news.

This caused many people who were originally full of expectations to gradually lose their patience.

"Jiang Chen should just focus on his research and not think about making money from a technology startup. He is not cut out for business."

"That's right. I waited for so long in vain."...

"I originally thought that with Jiang Chen's ability, his achievements would surpass Mark sooner or later. But who would have thought that after he opened the company, his research and development work almost stagnated, and he was only thinking about how to make money."

Many people in Longguo are increasingly disappointed with Jiang Chen’s recent “silence”.

In their eyes, Jiang Chen seemed to have lost all hope.

Everyone speculated that Jiang Chen might have fallen into real trouble and it would be difficult for him to come up with any outstanding research and development projects.

Now, he can probably only make a living by relying on his past achievements.

Just when everyone regarded Mark as the new hope for the future of mankind, Star Group finally broke its long silence and released its first engineering plan.

"Hello, friends! After careful discussion among the top management of the group, we have decided to start the space city construction project."

“The project is expected to be completed within three months.”

"According to preliminary planning, the first phase of the space city will be able to accommodate 20,000 people."

Once the news was announced, it was like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar in Dragon Country. The people were shocked and rushed to tell each other, and the news spread all over the world in no time.

"Is this the ultimate move that Jiang Chen has been holding back for so long? It makes sense that he has been preparing for so long."

"Don't be ridiculous. This is definitely just a cover. It's not that easy to build a space city."

"You know, it took dozens of countries working together to barely build such a tower."

"And Jiang Chen is advancing this time in the name of a private enterprise, which means he won't rely too much on Dragon Country's resources."

"It's impossible for him to accomplish it alone."

"I also think this is too outrageous. Other people's space cities can barely support the survival of more than a thousand people at most, but he actually wants to build a space city that can accommodate 20,000 people."

"He's just a clown. I'll be honest. He has no chance of building it. He just wants to use this to create momentum for his group and attract more attention so that he can make money."

At first, everyone was shocked when they heard the news, but after they came to their senses, they all felt that it was simply a fantasy.

What's more, Jiang Chen is no longer just a scientist who is absorbed in scientific research. In fact, he has already transformed into an entrepreneur and a representative of capital.

Everyone naturally assumes that he must put making money first.

Therefore, no one believed what he said.

However, this incident still caused an uproar on the Internet.

Space agencies in many countries are also paying close attention to this matter.

“Why is there such a big prejudice against entrepreneurs?”

“But I do do this to make money.”

When Jiang Chen first saw these comments online, he felt helpless and could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

But he also understood that this was indeed an irrefutable fact.

As the old saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Since he has chosen to pursue a commercial career and wants to make money through technology, he has to bear the risk of being questioned and abused.

Regarding the construction of an outer space survival base, Jiang Chen first focused his research on atmospheric pressure control equipment and simulated living environments.

The principle of the so-called atmospheric pressure control equipment is actually not complicated.

The goal is to keep the air pressure environment in outer space consistent with that on Earth.

The simulated living environment is similar to the No. 1 survival circle built by the United States in the desert. It aims to simulate the earth's ecological environment in outer space.

However, humans have not yet made a breakthrough in this area of ​​technology.

In the following days, Jiang Chen devoted himself to the research and development of outer space control devices.

Of course, he also did not neglect other work.

The establishment of a floating vehicle transport team, the research and development of outer space construction materials, the application of recyclable technology, etc. are all being promoted simultaneously.

After all, building a space city in outer space is a huge project, and every link cannot afford to make any mistakes.

After a month of intensive research and with the help of the system's powerful database, Jiang Chen finally successfully developed an atmospheric pressure device.

This device can adapt to various extreme environments.

"Is this the atmospheric pressure device? What is its specific function?"

Su Qingyu looked at the seemingly ordinary monster in front of him, which was actually five or six meters long, wide and high, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It can literally adapt to all environments. Even in a liquid environment like Saturn, the air pressure can be consistent with our Earth."

Jiang Chen said it lightly, as if it was just a trivial matter.

Su Qingyu was so shocked when he heard this that he couldn't speak for a moment and just stared blankly at the atmospheric pressure device.

Unlike those netizens who questioned Jiang Chen online, Su Qingyu trusted Jiang Chen 100%.

That's why she felt all this was so incredible, as if she was in a dream.

As we all know, the environment in outer space is complex and the air pressure on each planet is different.

The air pressure in some places is so low that it can tear a person apart; while the air pressure in some places is so high that it can crush a person in an instant.

But Jiang Chen now told her that this atmospheric pressure device can adapt to all air pressure environments in outer space.

It is conceivable how many centuries this invention was ahead of human technology.

In fact, after testing the effectiveness of the atmospheric pressure device, Jiang Chen himself found it a little unbelievable.

I can only say that the system's large database is really powerful.

Many of the algorithms in it involve knowledge of five dimensions or even higher dimensions, which is a field that human scientists cannot currently reach.

"How's the progress of the material research? If you follow the ideas I gave you, you shouldn't run into any difficult problems, right?"

Jiang Chen asked with concern. He and Su Qingyu had always had a clear division of labor and worked well together.

He is responsible for controlling the main engineering direction of the space city's construction, while Su Qingyu, as his right-hand man, focuses on researching various auxiliary materials needed for the construction.

"We have currently selected eighty-seven types of materials suitable for the construction of a space city." Su Qingyu responded confidently.

"Among them, titanium alloy and aluminum alloy nanoplates will be used as the main construction materials. These materials are not only light and hard, but also have good toughness."

"The most important thing is that they can effectively block more than 90 percent of outer space light radiation. Moreover, by working in synergy with other materials, the radiation blocking effect can be increased to more than 95 percent, or even higher."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with surprise, unable to hide his inner joy, and he picked up Su Qingyu.

"Great! Without your help, the construction of the space city would probably be delayed by a year or so."

"With the support of these high-quality materials, we only need to mass-produce them and then use hovercraft to transport the materials to outer space for construction. Everything will become much simpler."

Being held tightly in Jiang Chen's arms, Su Qingyu's pretty face blushed slightly, but she did not refuse, but continued to speak gently:
"Material research cannot stop. I think the subsequent exploration direction can focus on celestial bodies such as the moon and Mars, and conduct in-depth exploration of the resources there."

"There is still huge potential to be tapped in these places in terms of material development."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, agreeing deeply. He knew very well that no matter how large the project was, technology alone was far from enough.

During the construction of the space city, although the dependence on conventional materials is not high, those precious and rare materials are indispensable.

However, these materials are scarce and it is not realistic to use them in large quantities. Therefore, improving the quality of materials through synthesis technology is undoubtedly a wise choice.

"Your ideas are very clear. If you continue to conduct in-depth research in this direction, our space city will surely become more and more perfect."

"When the construction of the space city takes shape and we start cooperating with the country, we will be able to take more initiative."

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, feeling particularly happy.

Up to now, Jiang Chen has independently prepared all kinds of equipment needed for the construction of the space city, as well as the required funds, manpower and material resources.

To this end, he even borrowed 50 billion from the bank.

The bank was very straightforward. When they learned that Jiang Chen came in person to apply for the loan, they did not even ask for proof of mortgage. They just needed him to sign, and the 50 billion yuan was quickly credited to the account.

Jiang Chen was somewhat flattered by this sudden "favor". Later, he curiously inquired about it and found out that the bank's top president was actually his loyal fan.

As for the national level, although Mr. Cheng promised to provide certain support, the prerequisite is that Jiang Chen’s technology and the construction plan of the space city must be mature and reliable.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility of building the space city at this stage can only fall on the shoulders of Jiang Chen and Su Qingyu.

"In fact, I have the same dream in my heart." Su Qingyu said slowly with a gleam of longing in her eyes. (End of this chapter)
