The news that Sventovit was docked in Mars synchronous orbit quickly spread throughout every corner of the world and caused widespread heated discussions on the Internet.
It has been three years since the initial contact with Ge Luowen.
During these three years, it is no secret about Ge Luowen.
Whether it is that mysterious Goroven mental system, or about the Sventovit starship soaked under the Europa ice cap.
Of course, understanding is about understanding, whether you can accept it is another matter.
Behind the fierce debate, public opinion is clearly polarized.
Some people believe that the Golowen is a threat, even exceeding the harmonious civilization on Glitzer 581, which is 205 light years away.
In the view of this group of people, everything that human civilization advocates is a denied existence in front of the Geluowen mental system.
For example, human rights, freedom, and even personality itself.
A professor in the Department of Social Sciences of the University of Berlin even asserted that the civilized characteristics displayed by the Geluo article are simply the same as the dystopia described in mainstream science fiction novels.
Although Ge Luowen has not shown aggressiveness for the time being, no one can guarantee that he will not do so in the future.Just like at first we all thought that refugees were vulnerable until they finally rode on our heads.Clones, autocracy... Everything our civilization fights for is taken for granted in their eyes.If our values cannot influence them, then in the end they must be them who in turn corrupt our civilization.I hope our alliance will not be blinded by immediate interests, at least keep a minimum of vigilance...
Another group of people believe that the earth's civilization should accept these refugees.
Compared to the opinions of opponents, their views were more radical, and some even proposed that refugee camps should be set up on Earth to accommodate these guests from afar, rather than driving them to the desolate Mars.
…We can’t keep them out just because they are clones.I admit that cloning humans is indeed a problem that neither moral nor legal tolerate, nor can we compromise, but what we should oppose is the technology of cloning, rather than the pityable person who has unfortunately become cloning people.No life has the right to choose its own birth. If they are excluded just because of their birth, then what is the difference between us and those annoying racist people?In the face of the reporter's interview, a representative of a European human rights organization replied.
Of course, in addition to the firm and clear-cut left and right factions, a considerable number of people have a relatively neutral position and expressed indifference to the news that Ge Luowen settled on Mars.
Not to mention going to Mars to settle down, it doesn’t matter if you go to the sun to build a house. As long as you don’t come and go to the opposite door with yourself, there’s no problem.
After all, living with clones is quite terrifying to think about it.
……
On the third day after Sventovit was docked in Mars' synchronous orbit, a thousand Geluo literati landed on Mars in a space elevator.
In addition to the thousand crew members, there are various models of space vehicles and some tools and production equipment designed by Gelowen themselves.
Most of these tools and production equipment were produced over the past month through mineral processing technology and 3D printing technology on the Sventovit.
As for the source of resources for producing these devices, according to Ge Luowen I himself, when passing through the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, they discovered titanium-rich asteroids with diameters of about one hundred meters.
First, they fired mass bombs with mass accelerators to smash the asteroids, and then sent mining wingmen to collect slag and fill up the exhausted resource inventory.
Although Ge Luowen Yishi spoke all this and his tone was quite relaxed when he said it, Jiang Chen's ears were still quite shocked.
He believes that the efficiency of the outer space resource development of Renmindu Mining will be quite strong in the future, but now it seems that this is just because he has always been too weak as a comparative opponent.
Don't say anything else.
A mass bomb smashed the asteroid with a diameter of 100 meters.
I'm afraid that only the main gun of the special envoy-class starship can achieve this kind of lethality.
One hundred starships... Looking at the documents in front of him, Ge Luowen I fell into deep thought. After a long time, his eyes moved away from the conference table and looked at Jiang Chen sitting opposite him. He asked provocatively, do you have so much time?
The harmonious and civilized colonial ship is not far from the solar system.
One hundred starships look more like an unachievable goal.
After all, the Earth Fleet has only only four starships so far. Even if it is produced at a constant speed of one ship a year, half a century has passed, and the size of the Earth Fleet is only fifty special envoys.
If you look at this issue from a developmental perspective, I don’t think it’s difficult.After all, until six years ago, we didn’t even have space elevators.And today, six years later, we even built the colony to Europa and Iopa.Sitting opposite Ge Luowen, Jiang Chen smiled faintly and continued, I hope to leave the engine to you to take responsibility.I admit that in warp engine technology, you are going further than us.
Have you produced a hundred warp engines in more than 40 years?After pondering for a while, Ge Luowen spoke slowly, if you can provide the resources we need, this is not a difficult task.But what I want to say is that even if you can run faster than those bugs, you may not necessarily be their opponents.Their understanding of the word war is much deeper than that of you and me.
The Sventovit is not good at its weapons. After all, since they crossed the wormhole, they have been just fighting for survival. The technology tree is naturally focused on improving the performance of the starship itself.
As for the weapons, although there is no doubt that they are powerful, the mass accelerators on both sides of the hull are actually the same as when they set out from the Baikonur Space Launch Center, and there is almost no big change.
Whether it is their opponent or not, we have no reason to surrender, not to mention that I don't think a hundred starships will lose to one.In addition, regarding the resources you need... I happen to have a proposal here.
Ge Luowen signaled Jiang Chen to continue talking with his eyes.
You can register a company and complete the orders of the Defense League as a company, and we will pay you.You can use these rewards to buy more resources, including food, fresh water, and liquid oxygen, everything you can't produce... You may think my proposal is a bit overwhelming, but after all, we don't have the Geluowen mental system, and this is what I can come up with, the best way for us to cooperate with each other.
The silence lasted about two or three seconds.
Judging from the expression, Ge Luowen I was probably trapped in thinking.
After a moment, he looked at Jiang Chen again and nodded slightly.
...It's an interesting offer, I'll consider it.
It has been three years since the initial contact with Ge Luowen.
