Chapter 1649 The Dawn of a New Era

The bankruptcy case of the Nanmen Second Colonial Exploration Group has come to an end for the time being. Although the 10 billion credit points that have been squandered will not be returned, in the end, a result that satisfies all parties is still achieved.

Just after the order in Tiangong City was basically restored, the trial of war crimes officially started with the arrival of the Qinling, which was escorting the prisoners, to the Earth-Moon system.

According to the judgment of the Pan-Asian Cooperation Supreme Court, Xiao Hong, Gao Ruiming and others who were the masterminds of the rebellion in Tiangong City were sentenced to life imprisonment. Half life.

There is the military base of the Pan-Asian Cooperation on the asteroid belt. Except for the largest supercomputing center in the entire solar system, there are only scientific researchers and soldiers stationed there.

On the other side, after nearly two weeks of voyage, the Huashan and Taishan air carrier battle groups finally arrived in the orbit around Mars.

With the cooperation of the 3rd Orbital Airborne Brigade, the multi-arms air-ground joint military exercise was carried out as scheduled, showing the world—especially the restless separatists in the colonies—a muscle.

After the military exercise, the air carrier battle group did not return to the base at Lagrange Point, but went directly to the vicinity of the asteroid belt. According to the confessions provided by the masterminds of the rebels such as Xiao Hong, these elite troops found the port strongholds where the rebels were hiding in the asteroid belt without any effort, and wiped them all out.

The strength accumulated over decades was destroyed by one dynasty. After the Pan-Asian Cooperation made the news public, the separatists in Tiangong City were immediately devastated.

Even if they are unwilling to accept this reality, they have to admit that they have lost all chips of independence, and it is impossible for Pan-Asian cooperation to give them a second chance.

On the third day after the end of the suppression operation code-named "Broken Sword", the Pan-Asia Cooperation announced the resolution to revoke the autonomy of Tiangong City, bringing the city hall under the jurisdiction of Shangjing, and the mayor was directly appointed by Shangjing instead of local citizen elections.

Regardless of whether the Martians can accept such a result, they are always faced with the starship hanging above their heads, even if they are unwilling, they have no choice.

Perhaps it was because of the sadness of the rabbit and the fox, but the city halls of New Virginia and New London expressed dissatisfaction with this, thinking that this was a very bad start. But there are only a few colonial cities that belong to other regional alliances. Neither Li Guangya nor Wu Shuhua have any interest in talking to them.

It is their suzerain that should be troubled by this.

Rather than pan-Asian cooperation...

"I'm probably the hardest chairman since the new century."

Swiping his index finger across the holographic screen, Li Guangya, who closed the report, leaned back on the office chair, squeezed the space between his brows with some headaches, and continued, "First flight N-177, and then the rebellion of bionics...good guy , now even those Martians dare to ride and shit on us."

"But it's a blessing in disguise, isn't it?" Secretary Wei, who was standing at the desk, smiled and continued, "If they didn't take the initiative to provoke this war, it would take a long time to take back the autonomy from them. A lot of work."

"That's right," Li Guangya shook his head and said, "But the successive troubles have completely disrupted my plan."

Speaking of which, all these troubles seem to have started after that person returned from Mars.

Whether it's the Universal Spirit Foundation or that guy named Lawrence, they're all pretty safe until he comes back. In the end, I don’t know if he threw mints into the coke or something. This guy just landed on the Pan-Asian cooperation, and his nightmare began.

By the way, what kind of mascot is this...

It's clearly the broom star!

Thinking of this, Li Guangya couldn't help showing a strange expression on his face.

Could it be that this guy is actually the mastermind behind all the troubles?

Of course, he just thought about it.

After all, reality is not a Hollywood script. Although it is not ruled out that it is more dramatic than a movie, this possibility is still subtle.

"In any case, the result is always good." Seeing the tired face of the chairman, Secretary Wei said comfortingly, "I have another piece of good news from East Asia Heavy Industries. You are now Interested in listening?"

Hearing this sentence, Li Guangya's face immediately revealed an expression of interest.

"When will you learn how to play tricks, hurry up and listen."

Wei Song continued: "According to the design plan provided by Academician Lu, the construction of the 1.0 version of the warp speed engine has already started. According to the data provided by Academician Lu himself, after replacing the new type of warp speed engine, the Qinling was on the hyperspace channel. The cruising speed can reach up to 1AU/s.”

Hearing this news, Li Guangya finally stretched a smile on his face.

Although that guy always made him worry, but in the field of scientific research, he never let him down.

One astronomical unit per second...

At this speed, even if it happens to be at the farthest relative position, it takes less than three seconds to reach the Mars synchronous orbit from the Earth-Moon system. Not to mention mining in the asteroid belt, even sending starships to cruise in the Kuiper belt or to more distant worlds is no problem at all!

Li Guangya: "Well done, I have to thank him for this matter. When will he return to Earth? I'll pay a visit in person."

"He may not come back here in the short term, and he needs to stay on the spot to solve some technical problems about the warp drive," said Wei Song, after coughing lightly, and continued, "Okay after listening. News... I have some not-so-good news here, do you want to hear it?"

"You can just tell the bad news directly, what do you mean it's not so good," Li Guangya said with a sigh, "tell me, I'll listen."

Wei Song: "According to the news from the AIIB, Academician Lu acquired the bankrupt Nanmen Second Colonial Exploration Group by setting up a shell company. It seems that he intends to take over the project of the Noah's Ark, and to make an impact on the power Partially carried out about…”

After hearing the news, Li Guangya was silent for a while before speaking.

"The target is Tiancang Five?"

Wei Song said silently: "He didn't say...but it should be like this,"

"...This is indeed bad news, both for our alliance and for our civilization."

Staring at his desk, looking at the holographic light and shadow suspended above, Li Guangya was silent for a long time, finally sighed softly, and waved his hands wearily.

"Forget it, let him do what he wants."

Slightly stunned, Wei Song said eagerly.

"But……"

"There is nothing wrong with it. If he wants to leave, even if we force him to stay, it may not bring good results. At least, I don't want to be an enemy with him."

Seeing Wei Song who still had something to say, Li Guangya interrupted him in a non-negotiable tone.

"Let's leave this matter alone, and you don't need to continue reporting to me."
