Star Tycoon

Chapter 236 Moon Iron 1
Lighthouse Country, Cotton City, Watermelon Town, Triumph Street, Imperial Square.

Well-known websites and television stations from all over the world have set up camera positions, and many reporters, journalists, internationally renowned internet celebrities and capitalists are gathered on the balconies or near the windows of several nearby high-rise buildings, waiting together for the hero's return.

"Starship One will arrive in five minutes! Starship One will arrive in five minutes!"

The news of victory, delivered by an electronically synthesized female voice, filled the 5,000-acre Imperial Square, where men and women from all over the world had come to pay homage.

The gathering of three million people created an extremely spectacular scene.

It truly was packed with people!
These people were holding one-dollar Stars and Stripes flags produced in Cotton City. The young women were all wearing Stars and Stripes bras and shorts, and the men and children had also spent at least one dollar to buy the flags.

There are also commemorative shirts and hats for five dollars.

Of course, there are also on-site tickets available for one dollar per person.

Compared to concert tickets, the prices in Cotton City have reached a level that shocks even the residents of Lighthouse.

The weather in May was neither too hot nor too cold.

With so many people gathered together, accidents can easily happen.

Fortunately, Cotton City has sufficient police force to maintain order. With the coordination of various drones equipped with intelligent search systems and aerial machinery that can lift people from the ground into the air and lift them away, it is very convenient to go to the toilet or do anything else.

The majority of the three million people are white, but there are also Black, Asian, and Hispanic people.

Zhu Nuanyue and several hundred temporary workers from Chengbang Group also got the chance to enter, and they excitedly stood under the nearby stands waiting for the Interstellar One to land.

Wang Linlin looked at the giant screen in front of her. There was a live screen in front of the Empire State Building showing footage of three million people crowded together on the ground.

Seeing the crowded people hundreds of meters behind her, Wang Linlin curiously asked the female college student next to her for an explanation.

"Yueyue, why are there so many people here who are neither black nor white, and not Asian?"

Before Zhu Nuanyue could explain, Fu Weihou, the team leader next to her, said with a smile, "The higher-ups in Cotton City prefer hardworking Latinos to Asians."

Wang Linlin asked curiously, "Why? Aren't we Chinese from China more capable of enduring hardship?"

Fu Weihou laughed and said, "People who are unwilling to have children cannot be said to be able to endure hardship. Latinos usually have large families."

There is one more thing that Fuwei did not mention.

If something really happens in Cotton City and someone needs help, the Latinos will be willing to stand up and fight, while Runren will only stand aside.

Cotton City has now become a mecca for Latinos, and large numbers of immigrants are heading there.

However, to get in, you need to pass various exams. In order to better recruit high-quality workers, Cotton City will invest in building factories in the hometown of Mexicans. Those who perform well can immigrate to Cotton City Metropolitan Area with their families and become legal workers in the factory.

The Smith Cartel was able to enforce drug and gun control in the Mexican's hometown, and they were able to take on a hundred men single-handedly. Their ten-man squad was able to quickly locate and decisively eliminate the vicious gang.

Relying on its overwhelming deterrent power and operational capabilities, as well as the tens of thousands of Cotton City police officers who could be deployed at any time, the Smith Corporation became the champion of justice in the Gulf of Mexico.

No one opposed the Smith Corporation's expansion, especially the Mexican employees under their management, who were practically clapping and dancing with excitement, welcoming the newfound power!

However, the United States has refused several times, resolutely refusing to take over this rotten land and the burdens on it.

The Latino population is very large, and the economy is worse than that of China, but they are particularly fertile and have a strong sense of family. Most importantly, they don't like to ask their bosses for raises like people in China.

The cotton market needs workers, so it rejects a large number of capitalists who carry huge sums of money and does not allow these people to continue to be superior.

Even so, because it does not discriminate against Asians, it has become the preferred destination for Asian countries such as Singapore, Vietnam, and South Korea.

The cotton market today is vastly different from what it used to be, and it now enjoys support from both native white people and people of all races.

Under the watchful eyes of three to four million people and the eager anticipation of netizens around the world, a triangular spaceship, seventy meters long and thirty meters wide, slowly descended from the sky.

The spaceship, entirely black with the red lettering "YS" printed on it, resembled an alien warship, landing quietly and naturally in its designated location.

The guide was responsible for waving flags with both hands to land the spacecraft on the high platform that had been prepared in advance.

After the spacecraft landed safely, the hatch on the side, 15 meters high, opened automatically, and a futuristic retractable staircase stretched out to the ground.

The nearby crowd cheered, the overwhelming cheers making it impossible for many to hear a single clear word.

People in the distance could see the scene hundreds of meters away through the large screen in front of them, and they cheered excitedly along with the children.

The mechanical troops were the first to emerge from the ship's cabin. These self-propelled mechanical warriors were lunar guardians developed by Smith Heavy Industries and were capable of performing most of the work at the lunar base.

John Smith emerged amidst great anticipation, holding an astronaut helmet that symbolizes exploration and civilization.

Lighthouse Heroes!!
When John Smith came out and waved to the crowd, the cheers from the surrounding area became even louder!
John Smith smiled as he walked to the podium and hugged Leanne, then put his arm around his one-year-old son, Robert.

"This time, I spent half a year establishing a permanent base on the moon and discovered a super rare metal on the moon that is very suitable for use in aerospace equipment. I named it lunar iron."

"Lunar iron has excellent conductivity and can be developed into superconducting, strong, heavy, light, and metallic memory and metallic recovery capabilities in different forms."

"This time I mined and refined ten tons of lunar iron. The Smith Group will keep five tons, and the rest will be donated free of charge to countries and organizations with an exploratory spirit."

"I can't do it all by myself; the universe is too big."

"The Moon is the second home for all mankind! The lunar base also welcomes all countries that are willing to develop their space program, regardless of which country they are from."

"Interstellar One will set sail again in six months. This time I will lead a thousand people to the lunar base. I hope they are the elite of Earth, scientists and craftsmen who can contribute to the cause of all mankind."

"We will begin lunar colonization this year, with 10,000 people expected to migrate to the moon this year. Within the next five years, we will build a pioneer base on the moon that can accommodate 250,000 people!"

"Humanity has entered the interstellar age!"

John Smith's speech was met with cheers from countless scientists.

A selfless man who regarded exploring the universe as a treasure for all mankind!

Instead of domineeringly refusing anyone's participation, he donated the rare metals and soil he obtained to several major powers for research. He was even willing to share his independently built lunar base with countries that were not yet able to land on the moon.

The exploration of interstellar space has finally yielded its first result, and scientists from all over the world are curious about the data on that rare metal.

Physicists, biologists, soil scientists, metal experts, mathematicians... a large number of researchers found a place to use their talents.
