“Master, the self-check of all systems of the orbital defense platform is complete, and all functions are normal.”
Notify Brother Han’s side and tell him he can depart now.”
“Understood, Master.”
This orbital defense platform currently didn’t belong to any military branch or the aerospace department.
Their current solution was to hand it over to the Blue Army for management, as it was a direct unit of the military.
Previously, he had asked Han Shu to select the crew for the battleship and even provided him with a battleship system simulator.
As a result, the battleship hasn’t even appeared yet, and they have already started interning at the orbital defense platform.
Tang Rui stopped caring about this matter after watching the space shuttle take off.
The remaining two orbital defense platforms were not in a hurry to be manufactured.
First, they will be tested to see if there was any need for improvement. Although generally there should be no problem, some details might still need adjustment.
Leaving the laboratory, Tang Rui went to the cafeteria for lunch.
Then he saw Lin Chao with dark circles under his eyes.
“Red Lotus, how many calls does he receive a day now?”
Tang Rui knew Lin Chao had been busy recently. Everyone who couldn’t contact him was contacting Lin Chao.
The key point was, Lin Chao couldn’t turn off his phone.
So, he definitely hadn’t been sleeping well lately, otherwise, he wouldn’t have such severe dark circles.
“An average of one hundred and sixty calls a day.”
“That exaggerated?”
“Yes, he has handled a lot of things during this time, Hong Lian has a record of it.”
Tang Rui glanced at the record at Hong Lian.
Wow.
He must be sleeping late at night and getting up early in the morning, no wonder the dark circles are so serious.
“Brother Lin, do you want to arrange a few more people? You can’t keep up with this busy schedule, your health will suffer.”
Tang Rui brought his lunch to Lin Chao’s table and said.
“This has already been filtered. Problems that can’t be solved don’t reach me.
It’s much better now, I guess it won’t be so tiring after a while.”
Lin Chao shook his head. Although he was very tired, he could still hold on.
“Okay, then take care of your health.” Tang Rui didn’t say anymore.
By the way, many people have wanted to contact you recently. I have already organized the list, I’ll send it to you later.”
“Who are they?”
“People from all over, both foreign and domestic.”
After listening, Tang Rui understood what it meant.
The people who want to contact him, apart from the matter of the spacecraft, couldn’t be anything else.
For these people, the future was an era of interstellar wandering, and having a spaceship was more practical than anything.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have the technology to build a spaceship.
Moreover, the disaster came too quickly, they didn’t even have time to react, so even if they had any ideas, they had to suppress them.
Otherwise, everyone would have to die on Earth.
Or to put it another way, they would die on Earth, but Tang Rui could escape. After all, the gap in military force between the two sides is too large, many ideas are unsupported by military force and are simply wishful thinking.
So, the only possibility to have a spaceship under their control is to find a way from Tang Rui.
“What conditions can they offer?”
“No conditions, as long as you make a request, they can meet it, any request.” Lin Chao said with a smile.
After listening, Tang Rui thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.
“Let word out, say I have ten small research ships, each ship can accommodate 1,200 people, let them exchange antiques for it.
Whether it’s our antiques or theirs, whoever offers the highest price and brings things I like, those ten ships will belong to them.”
“Really exchange?” Lin Chao asked seriously.
Definitely a real exchange. Report it to the higher-ups, they will definitely agree.”
“Okay, I’ll contact them later.”
After lunch, Lin Chao rushed back to the office and reported the situation to the higher-ups.
In his view, spaceships had to be kept in one’s own hands, even research ships cannot be given to outsiders.
He couldn’t understand what Tang Rui was thinking.
However, half an hour later, the higher-ups sent back a message, agreeing and approving Tang Rui’s request.
Lin Chao was dumbfounded.
This was unscientific.
Although he couldn’t understand it, since Tang Rui said it and the higher-ups agreed, he could only do as instructed.
As the news was released, the price of antiques skyrocketed.
Once out of Earth, money was just worthless pieces of paper.
As long as there were antiques, everyone would desperately buy them.
England was the most ruthless.
They directly emptied their country’s museum to exchange for a spaceship. Except for a few antiques with special significance, all were packed and sent to the country.
Tang Rui was shocked when he saw the list of antiques.
They really emptied their family wealth.
Don’t think the English had changed from the Empire where the sun never sets to the Empire of a total solar eclipse, but in terms of antiques, they were truly rich.
After all, they had looted a lot in the past.
The French did the same, emptying out their family wealth, sending over forty copies of the Mona Lisa alone.
Other countries didn’t have such a family wealth as these two, but they also used other methods to get a lot of treasures.
Even some legendary items reappeared in the world.
Due to the harsh scouring of various countries.
There were too many good things.
Tang Rui additionally offered six more spaceship quotas.
A total of sixteen ‘research’ ships, equivalent to exchanging back the essence of global civilization’s historical culture.
Everyone felt like they made a huge profit.
Soon after the spaceship exchange ended, small asteroids and meteor showers also reached the outskirts of Earth.
But with the orbital defense platform, these small mass asteroids and meteors posed almost no threat to Earth.
Occasionally a few meteors fell, but they didn’t cause much harm.
But this situation made the countries very nervous.
The production speed of spaceship parts soared.
Every day hundreds of cargo ships carrying spaceship parts docked at
Mogadishu, then transported to Earth’s orbit via the completed space elevator for assembly.
With global cooperation.
The potential that burst out was truly frightening.
During this period, although many people did not believe what the experts and media said and even organized resistance.
But at this time, the countries took drastic actions.
Whoever caused trouble would die.
Anyway, they were about to flee Earth, and the weapons stored in the ammunition depots were useless, so it was better to throw them out.
If you couldn’t suppress it yourself, the UN Security Council would help you suppress it.
And such matters wouldn’t be reported.
The global media were unified.
Only reporting on the ongoing Destroy Black Dwarf Star project’s progress,
while various experts took turns to mislead.
Big data & cloud computing, these two major weapons, under the control of artificial intelligence, enveloped everyone in an information cocoon room, preventing access to any other news and true information.
The outside world’s turmoil had nothing to do with Tang Rui.
He prepared methodically, occasionally launching some spacecraft out of
Earth, no one knew what these spacecraft were for, they stopped asking after seeing Tang Rui launching them daily.
It seemed he was busy.
But in reality, after designing all the equipment, strengthening the core components, and accumulating enough source points, he had nothing to do.
The bored Tang Rui even accompanied Li Shuyao to see the progress of the phoenix crown and wedding dress weaving, and even took a trip to the moon to see the construction of the Guanghan Palace base.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, seven months passed.
The black dwarf’s influence on the solar system grew larger, and the leaders of various countries expressed their desire to leave soon.
Tang Rui calculated the time.
It was about time.
It was time to send them on their way..
